What, in the name of law and the
welfare of our people, is to be more
abhorred in Lewiston than the ever
presence of that believing pedestrian,
the COW? Better, by far, let vicious
bulldogs go upon the streets and COM
mons, than to allow hungry cows the
freedom of a city like Lewiston. Our
little city is in an important transition
state, and if ever there was time
when Il cow-ordinance should be in
forced, it is now. AT present, there are
only two periods when the town COW of
Lewiston is out of mischief-when she
is lying down asleep ut night, and
when the butcher is busy cutting her
up into steaks, roasts and boils. 1t
goes without saying that single cow
cannot pick up living from our streets
OF dust, and how our people expect
score or more to find sufficient grazing
cannot be understood. 1t is utterly
impossible for cow or any other beast
to get along without eating, and as
there is nothing in the streets they
naturally seek and gain an entrance
into our beautiful yards. To do this,
in many instances, they break down
gates and fences; and, after having
gained an entrance, they gnaw down
the carefully nourished lawns, ride
small fruit trees, tramp up and other
wise disfigure the yards. This is an
imposition upon the people who are
trying to beautify their homes, and if
owners of cows will not keep them up
or drive them out of the city limits, on
their own accord, they should be COM
PEELED to do so, by our city officials.
1t is no uncommon thing to find por-
tions of our sidewalks so badly broken
up and miserably befouled, as to render
it almost wholly impossible, and this
alone, should have sufficient bearing
upon every citizen to favor and encour'
age the restriction of the unaccountable
and meddling brute.
The steamer Almota made trip uI
to the magnesia stone quarry Sunday
The river is so low that they were com
, PEELED to line several times, and die
, not get to the quarry until late. The,
were there only one hour and twent,
, minutes, but, with large force of men
| were enabled to get on board SOM
forty-five tons of stone. There will b.
one hundred and fifty tons ready 70
the boat by next Sunday, but we ar
, informed that there will be no NOR
q trips made to the quarry, by any boat
! while the river is at its present loN
4 stage.
Pursuant to instructions from tn
e Adjutant Generals Office, at Boise
Lieut.. Robinson, of Co. l, Idaho Ma
: Guards, of this city, will go to Vollme
Idaho, the latter part of the week
y muster in Co. NJ, at that place, an
also to supervise the election of Officer
h thereof. Co. M. will make the twelft
It company organized in the state, and
Il short time our militia will compal
e favorably with the older establishe
d militia of our sister states.
e J.K. Vincent sent down from M
- - Idaho, last Friday, to Marshal Lelan'
u fine box of cherries of the "Blat
=" Republican" variety, which were raist
'o on the place of L. P. Brown. Th'
" were quite large and compare very
vorably with the cherries that we
es raised here this year. The people
a the mountains are now enjoying fri
or of the same variety, that the people
v Lewiston had two months ago.
