Everything is Settled!
SITE FOR MILLS AND FACTORIES
FINALLY SECURED.
Capacity 10000 Feet {!
A Double Team Race in Which the
Marshal Came out Winner
Caught on the Fly.

Some two weeks ago we published an
Item stating that the site for the large
saw mill that Mr.. J. NJ. Harrington, of
Hartford, Minnesota, proposed to move
and erect at this place, had all been
contracted for. We understood at the
time that such was the case; but few
misunderstanding caused matters to
be delayed for several days, and at
times it looked as though satisfactory
terms could not be made with certain
party who owned portion of the land
that had been selected for the site.
But, happily to state, all such fears
have now been removed and the site
securely contracted for in black and
white. Matters that had been hanging
on the feathers edge so long was
brought to a focus last Friday after
noon, and that Lewiston will now
have one of the largest and best saw
mills in the northwest, is foregone
conclusion-a settled fact. The site
selected is located in the eastern part
of the city, on the property owned by
5. c. Thompson and :. s. Rogers, bor-
dering on the Clearwater river, conve-
nient to the city and exceedingly handy
to the railroad, when it will have cen
completed. A more suitable spot could
not have been found, and the plant
that Mr. Harrington intends to put in
at this place will be no small concern,
but will lie an enormous affair. His
mill will have capacity of more than
forty thousand feet per day, and in
connection with the saw mill he will
run planning mill, sash and door,
shingle and box factory. He will have
all the machinery necessary to success
fully carry on all Of the different
branches of business just enumerated,
and will bring with him over forty ex-
perienced workmen, all men of families,
saying nothing about the large amount
of work that will be given to laborers
in this immediate vicinity. After hav-
ing spent two weeks in the timbered
region of the Clearwater country, IN
vestigating the different varieties Of
pine and cedar, Mr.. Harrington re-
turned more than satisfied with his
outlook, and did not hesitate in saying
that all of his anticipations had been
unquestionably realized in the fullest
sense, and that finer selection of tim
Der could not be found anywhere. The
logging outfit and about fifteen men
will arrive next month and go to work
at once getting out logs, but the ma
chinery for the mills and factories will
not arrive until about the close of the
year. Lewiston may seem quiet and
dead, but the kinks will finally all be
removed, and in the language of the
Free Press, "Keep Your Eye on Lew
iston, the Historical City" II
Two gentlemen whose names we die
not learn, were in from the country
Sunday, having little spree, and il
the early part of the evening got into
disturbance. They were not 80 drunl
but what they knew that if they stale
In town they might be lScked up, 81
they got their team and started out O
town as fast as their horses could travel
and whooping and swearing, at the to
of their voices, little thinking that the.
would be brought back for such con
duct. But Marshal Leland happene'
to be on the street and saw their pei
formance as they passed by, and a
} once procured the fast team of Fell
Warren, and started in pursuit. b
the time he got started, the "bad men
had a start of between two and thre
miles the best Of him, but the Marshs
succeeded in catching and bringin
them back to town, after travelling te
miles. They were arraigned befol
Judge McConkey, and for their spor
were fined ten dollars. People comm
to Lewiston have got to behave then
selves, or our Charley" will know th
reason why.
