smooth. 1t will be to the interests of

busy with considerable force in get
ting ready his mill site here on the
slough. A great deal ofearthwork and
piling must be put in before everything

push back further up the stream to get

Improvements still continue along
Main street. Chuck holes and mud
puddles are being filed up with loads
If gravel and sand. This is good
move and the TELLER is glad to note
it, but still urges that a complete
grade be made on the main streets.
Tive them a good coating Of gravel,
,ay about eighteen inches, leave good
,ide drains that can be cobbled, then
The water falling will run off into the
Trains which can be graded to empty
nto the river. The city may not be
'eady for sewerage, but there is no
,eason in the world why complete
,ystem of surface drainage should not
,e made at once. No city ever had
oetter facilities for cheap grading and
drainage than Lewiston. Gravel in
abundance is in a stones throw of the
Main street, and the streets can be
,asily graded to drain into the river.
