Inc GeneSee races last week were
we'll attended by Lewiston representa-
tives. They report successful meet
ing and many close and exciting races.
Felix Warren's trotter, "Van," though
not winner, made it very hot for the
one who captured the race. He won
one heat and came a close second in
the other two.
We are in receipt of communica-
tion from the Postoffice Department,
Washington, d. c., stating that the
POstoffice at Waha has been reestab-
lished, and the appointment of Aleda
Z. Faunce as Postmaster. The bonds
and proper papers have not been signed
and approved yet, and for the present
all mail should be sent to Lewiston as
usual.

to our office on Monday single head
of wheat as sample of new variety

and presents a plump, large head of
well filled grains. Mr.. Foster has an
acre Of this wheat and reports that it
excells all other in growth and
hardihood.
The sale of the old county buildings
took place Monday as advertised. l..
L. Strong became owner Of the old Jail

within thirty days.

the striped poles and carry the chain.

The old college building is being
thoroughly overhau1ed. A new porch
has been added to the structure, new
doors and stairways have been made

Our school building will be put in eX-
cellent condition for the September
term. It is likely that every room will
be crowded and should it prove neces-
sary q new teacher will he added to the
corps.
We notice in many of our exchanges
the advertised loss of horses supposed
to be stolen. From the numerous COM
plants coming from the panhandle,
from southern and central Idaho, it
seems that a we'll organized band of
horse thieves Is operating in this Sec
ton. Stock owners will have to or
ganize and work to protect themselves
and apprehend and bring to justice
these outlaws.
We received some items from L,o Lo
last week but too late for publication.

noon and evening, to crowded
audiences. Everybody was delighted
with the exhibition. Every feature
advertised was executed in an admir-
able manner. The exhibitions of tum-
bling and riding given cannot be ex-
celled. This IL the second visit of Nc
Mahon to this place and each year
brings him larger crowds.
There Is q rumor to the effect that the
parties who have bought part of the
lot now occupied by the old pack shed,
intend to build q brick building on

We received last week two handsome
cOlOred posters advertising the celebra-
ton of the 4th of July at Occur d'Alene
