Labor politics loom in 1904 as mine strike threat grows
A Lewiston newspaper warns of renewed anthracite miner strikes in 1904 that could sway the presidential canvass. It recalls the 1892 Homestead conflict and the 1902 strike, noting Roosevelt's arbitration plan kept politics stable and arguing both parties would avert a large-scale labor clash next year.

Irrigation plans promise ample moisture and stable yields
The Waba irrigation scheme pledges 18 inches of water for the season, giving about three feet of moisture under the ditch. Compared with Indiana and Illinois crops that rely on 13 to 16 inches of rainfall, Lewiston valley irrigation would offer superior control and potential yields. The piece argues irrigation improves efficiency and supports city tax policy favors lower levies with higher valuations, noting rail tariffs as a bluff by the railroad. Idaho tariffs will be tested, and the Reliance seeks a third straight win on Thursday.
