We noticed a number Of farmers from the
Moscow country in town this week with
grain and bacon to sell and yet they say they
can get to Moscow now and sell all of their
produce at a good figure, it so why do they
come to Lewiston when it is SO much out OF
the way? Echo answers why!
The scholars of the normal school will
hold fair on the evening OF the 4th OF July
in which there will be "a contest for premi-
ums in map drawing. The school will also
serve up ice cream before the committee
make their decision on map merits. Toasts
will be IN order from friends. We anticipate
pleasant time.

that note to Mcconnell which he deposited
in the bank and upon which he drew the
money for his trip to Boise, to log-roll and

about 25, 600 tons. But the railroad will
not reach them till next year, and in the
meantime they have no place to store this
seasons crop.
QUALIFIED VOTERS. first section OF
the election law of this territory provides
among others that IAN elector shall be a cit
zen of the United States We learn that
at the last election several parties at Mos
cow took the oath as citizens when they ad.
mitted that they had only filed their declar-
alton of intention to become citizens. These
men must have elastic consciences to swear
themselves citizens under that state of facts

meeting of the Nez Perez county Teachers
Institute was held in the Baptist church at
Moscow last week, commencing on Wcdnes-
day eve. June 6, and ended on Friday. The
