THE CITY OF LEWISTON.
An Old Town That is Again Coming
Into Prominence.
West Shore.

West Shore.
Lewiston, Idaho, is one of the oldest
towns in the territory, and its location
has given 1t considerable prominence
from the first. During the mining ex-
element OH the Clearwater and it's tri-
butaries early in the sixties, settle
ment was made at the junction of the
Clearwater and the Snake and called
Lewiston. Thousands of people inter-
ested in the mines reposed there brief
period on their journey to and from
the diggings, and it was the trading
point and general rendezvous for the
up-country mining men. 1t was inn
possible to build substantial city to
accommodate the demand for quarters
on short time, so the usual resort to
tents was had, and for months there
were from 5000 to 1900 tent-dwellers
in the town. The construction of
wooden buildings was begun imme-
tliately. timber being fioated down the
Clearwater for that purpose. But
when the normal condition of things
was restored the floating population of
tent-dwellers disappeared, distributing
itself among the mines and prospects
or leaving the country when the
excitement" features gave way to
settled industry. 1t is noticeable that
every mining excitement attracts a
considerable number Of people who
seem to be searching only for the
excitement" and who can not stand
the oppression of steady industry.
When the existence of gold in paying
quantities in the country to the east
and southeast Of Lewiston became an
established fact, the town at the juno
ton of the rivers became necessity
to the miners. The Snake was pavi
gable as far as Lewiston, thus there
was communication down the river
WIN outside commercial points. Tn,
Inc character of the interior countr,
made the building of roads impracti
cable, 80 pack trains were the onl,
transportation facilities between Lew
iston and the mines for many wears
and indeed, to this day many of tn,
up-river camps are reached only b,
pack trail. The canyons of the snak,
and Clearwater are 80 deep that over
land communication with the outsid,
world is difficult. Hence they hav,
depended largely on the river for thei
heavy freighting, and on the stag,
lines across the country to more con
venient railroad points for other traffic
1t Is only within the past few week
that u proposition to extend the North
ern Pacific railroad to Lewiston ha

Where Does It Rise.

Northwest Magazine.
Where does the river st. Lawrence
rise? Some will probably say in Lake
Ontario; Others in Lake Superior.
Neither answer is quite correct.
Like the Amazon, this river has
different name for each part of its
course. The lower part of the great
South American river is called by the
natives the Amazonas, the middle part
is the Solimors, and the upper the
MaronOn.
| So the st. Lawrence, between Lake
Erie and Lake Ontario, is called the
Niagara, between Lake Eric and Lake
Huron the st. Clair and Detroit river,
and between Lake Huron and Lake
superior the st. Mary's river. Yet are
these all one and the same river, the
lakes being but so many expansions of
its waters.
Beyond Lake Superior. to the north
ward, there is still another portion Of
its course, called the Nepigon, Il noble
stream of clear, aZure-tinted water
nearly rs large as the Hudson in
volume, which flows down from the
great Lake Nepigon in the heart of the
Canadian Wilderness
Until recently Lake Nepigon has
been but little known. On our maps it
is figured AS a much smaller lake than
it really is. Its actual dimensions are
about seventy-three miles in length bv
tifty-one in breadth. These figures
give but an inadequate idea of its size,
for there are five great bays varying
from twenty to ten miles in length
The actual coast line of the lake is not
much less than 600 miles.
Twelve rivers Of considerable size,
four of them rising far up on the
''divide" towards James Bay, flows
into it, and its waters rival those of
Lake George in purity and clearness.
1t literally swarms with whitefish and
trout.
The Nepigon rivcr-the outlet of the
lake-may be fairly termed the north
erly and upper course OF the st.
Lawrence, not only from its size, ex-
ceeding greatly all other rivers flowing
into Lake Superior but from the clear
ness and color of its water, and other
general characteristics.
Whereas the other smaller rivers of
Lake Superior are "blaclk water''
rivers, that is to say, having turbid or
stained water, the Nepigon is clear
and beauji'i.t river of the same azure,
sea-green "a! l.larinc-blue water which
one sees at Niagara and in the st.
Lawrence.
