withwPMrtlcJlur refurencu to the
IH t tr h n o v 1 1 1 w est , and i t i ml n u
prediction of what tho HUcceed
Ing 60 years would brlni?.
The rovlrw and prediction wore
niado by William Jl. Wallace, and
delivered to the legislature of the
newly created territory of Ida
ho. , The territorial capital Vuis

at Mho confluence of tho Snak

President Jefferson, had camped
In 1804. ,

inifrht bo quoted from any cere
monial address, 1 ho territorial ex
ecutive, with the. signature of
Abraham Lincoln hardly dry on
his certificate of appointment

"I congratulate- you," he told
the legislators, "upon those Indi

ills Jlstenw'H were a liandfull of
members or the upper and lower
branches. Not nil the electees
usere , present. Representatives of
purls of the Infant territory which
now "re At on tana and Wyoming
had been named by the voters, but
to reach the legislative inaugural
they hud to choose between the
trip over the backbone, of tho Con
tinental hivide or u journey from
Virginia City and Hannack to Kali
Lake City, west to Han Krancisco,
north along the coast to the Col
umbia and up It and the Snake
river to Lewiston,
With this difficulty of travel In
mind, the new governor made this
prediction; "Tho child Is born who
Bhall see railroads and telegraphs
connecting our great centers of
trade with the Atlantic and Pacific-oceans;
who shall not only see
the inexhaustible mineral wealth
of this country .developed, but
shall see the trade of Anlaturne,d
from its undent channels and the
road across this continent become
tho greatest highway of travel. ,
"He shall see the states of the
Pacific rlviil those of the Atlantic
jieabonrd In population and wealth;
h shall see a city located on the
western side, of the continent by
the Pacific ocean surpassing In
trade and magnificence ancient
Tyre when she sat us queen and
her merchants were princes, and
cities In the interior surpasuln
Palmyra and Persepolia In Ihe
Uaja of their glory.
-. "He shall see the capital of the
nation removed to the valley of the
Allstdsstppl, not four days Journev.
from either ocean. Then shall the
population of the mountain states
be counted by the tens of millions
and .Idaho shall be one of the first
of states.' .
Remarkable was the accuracy
uf the vIsIol Governor Wallace
in view or Mr. fact that Lcwislon,
virtually the only settlement in the
immenso territory which was then
Idaho, excluding placer camps of
the mountains, had Useir come Into
being merely tin a trading post thru
which 4re handled the supplies of
tho gold seekers. ...
Governor Wallace ' considered
himself un old resident of the const
region, lie hud, after serving in
tho Iowa legislature, and holding
federal office as receiver of pub
lic moneys in Iowa, traveled west
to California- and north In 1808 to
the settlements of Pud get Hound.

I'icture yourself in dire necessity of the
strong arm of the law.
" You8das"h out of your home in the night
to summon a policeman. But, alas, lie is
nowhere in sight.
That is not the policeman's fault. He
has much ground to cover and he is likely
at the other end of his beat.
But each night there is a silent police
man at your, street-corner. There are
many of them in this community. Thev
are the street lights operated by the Enst-.
ern uregon Ught and rower company.
These silent guardians help to avoj
cuients by lighting the streets, an
give a sense of comfort and securiw
cause crime cannot exist within the circle
of their protecting radiance.
During the war several cities in "their
efforts to help in saving coal, ordered a
reduction in street lighting. In one great
city, the mayor ordered that all such lights
outside of the central business section,
should be cut off at 11 p. m.
Vv'iiiiin an hour after. the order was put
into effect, three murders, a score of hold
ups and innumerable robberies, including
the theft of the mayor's private car from
in front of the city hall, were committed.
Before the night was ovcrHhe mayor or
ered tlie street lights turned on again.
Do ytiu ever leave the lights in your
home burning, when you leave home for
tne eveninn
you, too, believe that light is vour
protector. -
Surely this effective, silent guard of
your life and property is the most econom
ical policeman you call have.
Use more light and be safe.
