Both Snake and Clearwater rivers
have been steadily rising all week.
The fact has produced considerable
favorable comment among our citizens.
The snow fall of the last winter was
heavy and unless it begins to melt
early and pass off gradually we are
likely to witness another flood. No
one cares to repeat the experience of
two years ago.
VIM. Freeman, well known to Lew
iston and vicinity, was in town last
Thursday. Mr.. Freeman is one of the
proprietors of the New Walla Walla
Herald, a journalistic venture that
will make its appearance May 1st.
He expressed surprise and pleasure at
the new appearance of the TELLER
and Internationally placed it in the
front rank among the papers of Idaho.
The Philharmonic Lullaby Club
have been favoring the citizens of all
parts of town with their gentle tink-
link melodies. We hereby acknowl-
edge the receipt of a visit late made to
our quarter of the city, Come again
gentlemen. No sensation known is
more filled with pleasure to soul and
sense than to be reused from slumber
by sweet melodious music.
Report reaches us that Charlie Jones,
colored, familiarly known here as
Bunker" was found near Moscow one
morning last week in dying condi-
ton. He was Immediately carried to a
farm house but soon died. The re-
port further adds that when last seen
before the :ltal day he was leaving
Moscow gluriotisly drunk and we'll
loaded with plenty of gin to continue
the trip.
Frank Eberle, who, for several years,
was rancher on the Potlatch, but for
the past six years has been living in
California, has returned to Lewiston
and is living in the Francis Edwards
house. Mr.. Eberle settled the tenth
claim that was taken up on the Pot
latch and can relate many interesting
incidents that happened in those days.
He called and made himself solid with
the TELLER for year, Wednesday.
Wilbur Leland is circulating about
among his old time friends this week.
, He still holds his position as postal
clerk on the U. p. running between
Pendleton and Spokane. He is now
enjoying 6o-day lay off, during which
time he expects to make trip to the
east taking in Chicago and Kansas
City. Unfortunately an attack of La
: Grippe has left him with an affection
: of the throat which he means to have
t treated.
The Potlatch in luck. The imported
English Shire stallion, Prince Albert,
owned by the Holdrege Importing
Company, was sold last week to NJ. s.
Freeman and will be taken to his
rancho near Leland. The horse in
question is fine specimen of his breed
, and beyond doubt one of the best
, blooded animals ever brought into the
+ country. One of the chief industries
: of this country is the breeding and i'm.
, proving of our stock, and we are glad
to see our farmers take move in this
direction.
y By some means the secret has leaked

now! We have heard in our time large
stories of the self-importance of cities
and individuals but this bit of conceit
!. takes the ribbon. With all due deference
. to growth, enterprise and hustle of oul
= neighboring city Moscow, we would like
to ask how much weight and influence
they expect to balance against corpo
+ ration worth several millions by thei
+ bonus of $15O,OOO? OF what particular
advantage would 1t be to the Northern
r Pacific to build line to Moscow ant
If tap country already secured by tn
e lines of the Union Pacific? Railroad
3 corporations do not build or refrail
l. from building roads for paltry subsidies
z when the building of the same woul,
1t not add very materially to their owl
re interest from the increased traffic @
