Aunt returned Sunday from their trip
to Salmon river. They report that the
stock on the Salmon river range have
wintered exceedingly well. In their
bands there was no loss whatever on
account of the severe winter. This is
certainly an encouraging report and
supports the oft repeated assertion that
the Salmon river range is the best in
the territory.
The entertainment of Thursday night
last, given by the st Aloysius Acad-
envy pupils, was well attended. The
program was nicely arranged and we'll
prepared hut owing to the confusion of
the wind storm and the thoughtless-
ness of some small boys in the rear,
there was great trouble in hearing what
was said on the stage. The receipts

The steamboat made the last trip of
the season to Fir Bluffs last Sunday,
and large crowd, composed partly of
our people and partly Of the Potlatch-
ers were at the landing. The captain
of the craft took on board all the pas
sengers the vessel would carry and
made ten-lnile run up the Clearwater
and charged the guests nothing. All
who were present report a magnificent
time, and heartily thank the captain
for his generosity y.-Juliaetta Gem.
On Monday last $4,000 TBS of mer-
chandise were loaded at Lewiston to
be hauled to nrangeville The freight
was put on wagons drawn by four and
siN-hOrse teams. The merchandise is
for the firm of Weller & Wax and is to
supply the citizens of Camas Prairie
Such long hauls greatly increase the
expense of transportation and cut in on
the consumer, bank account. We do
not wonder that our neighbors Oh
Camas Prairie hail with delight the
advent of railroad to their section.
Let everybody remember the big
time here on Decoration Day. The
Pomeroy and Lewiston Baseball Clubs
will have game on the ground in the
lower part of this city in the afternoon
of that day. Such interest is taken in
the affair that most of our business
houses will be closed during the exer-
cises to join the great crowd of thous-
ands of people who will assemble here
from the country. This bringing of
the people together creates social ties
that tend to assist in getting over the
rough places of life in the recollection
of all such associations in meetings of
this character.-Pomeroy Independent.
i We printed notices last week to the
effect that DR.. Holman would remain
only few days longer as a citizen of
our city. We are sorry to see so able
and efficient dentist as DR.. Holman
leave us. Lewiston has in times past
given good support to one dentist; we
hardly see why it should not do so at
present. All who have had work done
by DIR. Holman pronounce him to be a
first class workman. Would it not be
we'll for those needing work to patron
ize DR.. Holman and see if we cannot
induce him to remain. The best inter-
est of our city lies in trying to induce
men of business to locate among us;

the young ladies were well composed
and We're delivered with great credit to

all. The school board have signified
