The Light and Water Company have
this week accepted the plans and esti-
mates made by engineer Bloomfield
and will As soon as possible begin ac-
tive operations upon their plant. They
have increased the capital stock to

mate was too sm Ill to meet the de-
mands Of the work as planned by the
engineer The plans Of Engineer
Bloomfield will be forwarded at once to
the company here ami will be made
known pethaps In OUR next issue.
Another new town has sprung in'o
existence along the tine Of the new
railroad. It sails Under the name of
| Vollmer, taking Its name, we suppose,
In honor of our worthy townsman, Jno.
F.; P. Vollmer. Though less than one
month old 1t Is coming to the front
rapidly. It has one grocery, one sa-
loon, one printing office, one real estate
Office, one hotel and five dwelling
houses all in course Of erection. The
surrounding country is fine and wagon
roads are being projected in all direc-
tions to open up the country. The out
look for the place is very promising.
The Idaho Free Press says that the
wagon road commissioners are ex-
pscted daily at Grangeville. When
last heard Of they were on Frencl
creek. between Salmon river and Warm
Springs, and were probably locating
the road by way of French creek and
the Old Knott trail to Florence, a. that
would give better approaches to the
river than by way of the wire bridge.
All are anxious for the opening Of the
new route. Its completion will Aasten
the development of q rich mineral re-
gion and serve to connect the hitherto
isolated regions Of North and South
Idaho.
Arrangements are being perfected to
make the coming game Of base ball
with the Moscow club thoroughly en-
|joyable and successful affair. A grand
stand will be erected on the gronnds
and cooling drinxs served ct reasonable
prices. Everything will be done to add
to the comfort of the crowd. The game
will no doubt be q most excellent exfti.
bition Of our national sport. The Mos
cow club have not been defeated this
season and are recognized q an excep'
tionally strong combination of players.
They come with all the assurance oi
victory and 1t seems hardly likely that
Lewiston can bring them to defeat.
But like many other games bas ball

The Lewiston base ball club have dem
onstrated the fact that they can ON 90
casion play good ball, and Though they
have twice suffered defeat. there is ,
