The firm of Hunt & Buckley, of

much for a good business reputation.

Lewiston Teller: 1t is reported that
the decision as to the extension of the

it was favorable.
The HERALD is in receipt of an
nouncement of the death of Miss Hannah
Davies, sister of Rev. James Davies,
formerly of this city, which occurred at
Monticello, Mimi, on the 18th ult. De-
ceased was about 33 years of age, and
was we'll known here,
What's the matter with Capt. NJ. s.
Phillips as a candidate for delegate to

the benefit of long experience in terri
torial affairs, is an old resident, thor
ough republican, and man to be trust
ed in this important position.
AT last Pullman is to have a steam
Touring mill, the contracts having been
signed for its construction and the site
Con the Mckenzie property selected du-
ring the past week. Mr.. J. G. Heuler, a
frst-class practical miller from Minneso-
ia, will have charge and will begin the
erection of the building July list next.
It will be of most approved roller pro-

The Northern Pacific railroad COM
pany placed line of steamers on Snake
river last week, in opposition to the o.
r. & N. company boats, compelling, by
this action, the latter company to cut a
passage through the railroad piling
bridge at Riparia, necessitating trans
fer of all passengers, mails and express
for few days and consequently delay.
The new iron bridge, under construction
for some time, was completed Monday,
and trains are now crossing it.
The Cotton fishermen, according to
the Eagle, reported catch of 200
pounds of fish on their recent trip to the
Alpowa. A careful estimate Of the
weight of the average Alpowa trout
leads us to the startling discovery that
the boys brought home over 2,4OO OF
them-if they had 1900 pounds" How's
that, gentlemen? The Pullman party
secured al trout and two salmon, and
it wasn't very good fishing weather,
either. We call for the papers, boys.
The HERALD editor made a flying
visit over the line to Moscow, Idaho, last
Monday, in company with J. c. Crome,
OF the Portland house Of Palmer & Rey,
type founders. It was our first call up
on this sprightly town, and we confess
to some surprise at its beauty of loca-
ton and evidences of general "push,"
though we had already heard much in
its favor. The town site is distinctively
beautiful chats the proper term J, and
the man who first realized the fact had a
long head on his shoulders. The town
is neatly laid out, has fine brick court
house nearly completed, a handsome new
school-house, steam Touring mill, ele-
vators, and many fine business houses.
