a.ed the graves of the soldiers buried there.

eral bad holes in our side walks in the main
streets. which should be repaired immedl-
ately ere some serious accident befall come
one. Last Sunday evening lady was
tripped up by one of these detestable trap
holes and sprained her ankle badly. "a
stitch In time saves nine," and in this in.
stance few cents worth Of nails, a board
and few moments work may save many
dollars to property holders and crippled
limbs to the 'would.be' unfortunates.
We are indebted to s. A. Moon, Eco, for
an oral description of the eastern and Forth.
ern portion Of the Potlatch country, and a
pencil map Of the same. There is lots of
fine land in that section Of country, both
inside and outside of the public surveys.
The outer limit of this land east and north,
is between fifty and sixty miles from Lew
iston. and thousand quarter sections can
be easily settled upon, with good soil, tim
Der and water near by, and will SC on be near
market, in case railroad enters the Pot.
latch country.

didatcs in the field. all good men, and either
one of them capable of discharging the du.
ties of that office The voters of Lewiston,
property holders in particular, should get
