The Rev. J. d. and Mrs. McConkey
make this public acknowledgment of
sincere thanks to the many kind
friends, who remembered them on

The encouraging news is at last con-
firmed and it can now be asserted on
full authority, that the right-of-way
controversy, SO long pending between
the government, the N. p. railroad and
the Nez Perez Indians, is definitely
settled, and the Spokane & Palouse
has now clear right to enter upon the
reservation and complete their lines
into Lewiston. This news, coupled
with the rumor that work will begin
on the river bridge the first of the new
year, once more creates an interest in
railroad matters. Let Lewiston now
get in and pull good strong oar with
Camas Prairie people and it is highly
probable, that we will see a railroad
extended through this city to that
point, before the season Is very far adj
vanced.
On Wednesday last, little johnny
Jones shot Tommy Smith his play
mate and school-fello~, in the abdoman
with small revolver. The accident
will result fatally to the poor boy. 1t
was carelessness but somebody is to
blame. Who is it? The foregoing is a
bit of pure fabrication suggested by an
incident that came to our notice this
week. Two small boys, hardly in
their teens, each with a "gun" in his
hand were seen skirting about, shoot
ing at old cans, stray cats and chickens,
with dangerous recklessness that
will sooner or later lead up to an acct
dent similar to the one just stated.
Parents, you who have no boys to
spare, look into this matter. Two or
three small boys and revolver make
up dangerous compound.
Company I again drilled for the
prize medals Saturday night. They
changed hands again, Sergeant Coburn
taking first and Corporal Robinson
second. Since the first prize drill more
attention has been paid to correct po-
sitiOn and accurate movement, and
the effect was marked in Saturday
nights drill. Under the efficient drill
ing of the veteran Kittsmiller the work
of Company has made more than or
binary progress. From all reports and
judging by what we have learned per-
sonally of the other companies OF the
state, we can safely say, that for regu-
lar attendance, pride in their work,
efficiency in the manual of arms, Com
pany leads the state. If Governor
Wiley should chance to visit Lewis
ton, we can show him a company of
the National Guard that he can be
proud of. The prize medal for the
best shot changes hands so rapidly
that 1t is a matter Of pure guess work
as to who will finally become the
owner. Private Boston has had it in
his possession twice, Sergeant Coburn
once, and now Captain Kroutinger has
succeeded in finding the bulls eye,
and will sport the medal for q week at
