NEW RICHMOND RECORD.

territory are still largely unproductive for no other reason than the absence of transportation. In extent and superficial values this district is claimed to excel any other mineral belt in the United States.' There are now soyie 7,500 mineral locations with a legal status upon the county records within the district. Everyone of these locations records the fact that mineral has been found in place.

It is small wonder that the average mind fails to grasp the full extent and meaning of these inexhaustible, incalculable resources so long dormant and isolated from the quickening currents of industry and transportation. The wonderful natural outlet for conveying these resources and products direct to the ships of the world by inexpensive gravity propnltion is here, and uidess it is utilized even this mighty and imperial wealth must remain inactive in great part or else be absorbed by forced and artificial carriage charges. The longer this natural outlet remains closed the more oppressive must its effects become on the activities now at work for the country’s development. The Lewiston country should be united and insistent, now and henceforth, in banking all of its energies and influences in a supreme demand for egress to the sea from which it. is bar ml by only one casual obstruction in a clear reach of wide and free water route.

THE LEWISTON COUNTRY.

Geo. B. Banta, at Lewiston, Idaho, sends us the following pretty description, taken from the Lewiston Morning Tribune, of that most wonderful country:

The array of material facts and features upon which the Lewiston ,Country bases its claim for industrial relief through an open waterway to the sea is, as the Oregonian .says, almost startling. To quote the words of the secretary of the St. Paul chamber of commerce, who has been sent to describe the qualities and opportunities of the country at about the time of the ,opening of the Northern Pacific’s Clearwater extension; “I dare noi tell the actual facts about the variety and extent of its productions, because people accustomed to the hard conditions of the middle west would not believe thorn; I shall, have to modify the truth to get within the range of what would seem probable to them.”

Some of the material facts em- : bodied in the presentation to congress are these: The population of the Lewiston country is 50,000; of the Inland Empire tributary to the proposed open waterway is 350,000; the same area is easily capable of supporting 10,000,000 people; of these the Lewiston country alone could support 1,500,000.

The yield of cereals in the Lewiston country for 1000 is estimated at 5,450,000 bushels of wheat, 1,120.000 bushels of oats and barley, and 284,000 bushels of flax, a total of 0,854,000 bushels. Of this grain nearly 5,000,000 bushels should bo exported before the next harvest;. tl< is would load over 7,000 cars, and the existing means of transportation are inadequate to move eve n the crop of this year.

The crops of the Lewiston country are now grown upon 375,000 acres. It is estimated 1,500,,000 acres classed as, first quality grain land are still unfencod waste. Bordering the grain bolt are valleys and benches that are adapted to fruitgrowingand cultivation of vegetables. This area of fruit '.and approximates 100,000 acres. The irrigable bottom lands approach 25,000 .acres, and the benches and plateaus suited to apples, pears, fcherries,prunes, plums, etc.,aggregate a very large acreage. The shipment of fruits and vegetables for the year equals 490 carloads, including the upper Snake river. The capacity for the production of tonnage from orchards and gardens is very groat, the average, when in full bearing and thorough cultivation, being one carload per acre.

Since January 1 last the Lewis- ' .ton country has shipped out 19,.090 head of cattle, valued at $450,000, and 55.500, .sheep and hogs. There are now 400,000 sheep on the ranges, from which 1,200,000 .pounds of wool wore shipped this year, valued at §200,000. The year’s shipment of horses was 3,425 head, and there still remain 150,000.

•The famous Idaho white pine belt is along the Clearwater river, tributary to Lewiston. • The state holdings of timber laud alone amounts to 170,000 acres in this belt, and over'100,000 acres have been entered by individuals ns homesteads and by scrip for the timber. This land will average a stum page 10,000 feet to tl ie acre, a grand] total of 2,700,(XX),(XX) feet of lumber in the Clearwater white pine belt. A yellow pine timber belt lies along the Grand Rondo river, in.Oregon and Washington, beginning 15 miles from Lewiston. The Grand Rondo, is sutiablo for logdriving without improvement other than booms for the control of logs afloat. The extent of this yellow pine forest is fully 250,(XX) acres; estimated at 1,000,(XX) feet to the j quarter-section, a total of 2,5(X),-; 000,000 feet of merchantable him-; ‘ber. s The vast mining interests of this i

SAM SMALL IN A CUBAN JAIL.

Reasonable Prices,

Rev. Sam Small is in jail at Havana, so said a last week’s associated dispatch, on a charge of swindling and unless Gov. Wood issues a special parden the evangelist stands little chance of obtaining his freedom, as the habeas corpus act does not take effect in the Island of Cuba until after the beginning of tbe new year. Following this bit of news comes a dispatch from Lexington, Ky., which says: Sam Small, the evangelist, who is under arrest at Havana for swindling, was accused of a similar offense in this state a year ago. At that time he was in the army service and acted in the dual capacity of chaplain and caterer to the officers’ mess of the Third Engineers at Camp Hamilton. As caterer he ran up bills with a local dealer for supplies and put off payment on the plea that the officers had not paid him. When the dealer investigated he found the officers all held Small’s receipts. Failing to get satisfaction when he reported the matter to Adjt.-Gen. Corbin, dealer wrote to Secretary of War Alger, who asked Corbin to report on the case. Corbin then notified the dealer that Small had left the service. Small also left other unpaid bills here, it is said, the aggregate sum being about $600 or $700.

As a result of the defalcations in many banks of the country there has been a careful scrutiny of accounts in many large corporations and as a result many thieves are being found out. George Griffith, deceased secretary of the Cincinnati board of education, is found to have stolen ever $100,000, and on the same day a teller in a Newport bank was found to be short something like $16,000.

Now, candidly, wouldn’t you like to know what sayers will be saying, thinkers thinking, writers writing, doers doing and plotters plotting at the end of the next hundred years?
