As They See us.

We see by TIE Lewiston TELLER, a
paper published in the north Of Idaho
'erritory that the city Of Lewiston,
with all its boasted advantages for the
encouragement Of commercial traffic, is
continually begging the necessities OF
life. 1t goes to show that the people
Of that country are excessive germans
demanding more than their resources
can supply, or their merchants are mat
tentive and negligent in ordering theil
supplies. We would advise our mer,
chants here. who are complaining o
dull trade with stocks replets in ever,
