LEWISTON. IDEH0. JUNG 10. 1890.

Mr.. Thomas f. Atwater, who for the
past three months has be sojOurning in
Lewiston, left yesterday morning for
his home near Kendrick. 1t is with
regret that we must see Tom leave us,
for during his short stay in this city,
he has made many friends, among the
old and young, who will miss him. 1t
to be hoped that before many weeks
pass by that he will have occasion to
return and remain among us perma-
nently.
DR.. ]. B. Morris returned from Port
land on Sundays boat accompanied by
H. Bloomfield. Mr. Bloomfield is the
engineer employed by the Lewiston
| Light and Water Company to make
their surveys and cal culate the esti-
mates for the construction of their
plant here. He will begin work ut
once that the matter may be put in the
hands of the company in a definite
form. The work of constructing the
plant will begin without delay.
Senator Platt, chairman of the COM
mittee on territories, will make an
effort to place the bills for the ad-
mission Of Idaho and Wyoming as
the next order of business after the
silver bill is disposed of by the
senate. He believes that one day
will he enough for each bill, and ex-
poets that, no difficulty will he en-
countered in their passage, and that
within a week and a half the two
territories will become full-fedged
states.
Major Truax has removed his office
to the commissioners rooms at the new
court house. There he is busily engage
ed on his new plat of the city. All
other surveys and plats of the city have
been very irregular and incomplete.
The Major is taking great care to have
this one very complete and accurate.
He will assist Engineer Bloomfield the
remainder of the week in running the
lines and taking the levels preparatory
to the construction of the Light and
Water plant.

The Lewiston base ball club have
about recovered from their sore defeat
at Pomeroy and will cross bats again
with that formidable club on July 4th.
It Is to be hoped that the other occasion
has left q lesson of sufficient import
tence to teach the boys the value of
practice, concerted action and cool
headedness in playing base ball. We
made the assertion some weeks ago
that the Lewiston boys could play ball
with credit to themselves and honor to
the town, and we will be glad to have
that assertion verified at the coming
game.

accompanied by Attorney General
johnson and other noted citizens Oh
South Idaho, made short visit to the
Panhandle last week. One part of the
Governors duties was to attend the
meeting Of the Board of Regents of the

diti0n Of political fences In this section.
