seventy-hve head of horses from this
city to Barry, ILL.,, Monday last. 1t is
mixed band and were, shipped in
three carloads from Uniontown to the
point Of destination. Jos. Eakin and
Robert Inghram accompanied the

weeks to make the entire trip. The

The Northern and Union Pacific
have agreed on II reduction of freight
rates on grain, flour, feed and supplies,
of seventy-five cents per ton, to Port
land, Tacoma and Seattle. This
amounts to little over two and one
third cents per bushel on wheat, and
will be quite at item to the farmers Of
the Palouse and Potlatch countries.
The rate is yet too high and would
stand another trimming of Mt least two
cents more on the bushel.-Advocate.

offered better inducements by the
merchants of that place. Here is q
= large and profitable trade being deflec-
ted from its true course, by the super
r ior enterprise ofa neighboring town
+ Lewiston Is the natural trade center for
y the Camas Prairie country and some.
e thing is radically wrong when our
n merchants allow others, with better
% bargains, to win away their customers.
