Messrs j. M. Harrington and A. b.
Forte, of Hartford, Mimi, whom we
mentioned two weeks ago rs having
come here with view OF putting in
large saw mill at this place, have
made up their minds that Lewiston is
about the best opening in this part of
the west, for good large lumber busi-
uess, and have already contracted for
the site. "A large force of men, together
with all the machinery will arrive here
about the first of October and go to
work on the mill. About fifteen men
VIII arrive next month with the log
ging outfit and go into the timber
region of the Clearwater and proceed
to getting out logs. Mr.. Harrington
was up the river about ten days and
gives very tlattering reports concerning
the fine timber in that section.
"A large number of the citizens of the
Second ward met at the council rooms
Monday afternoon and organized Hose
Company No. .. After free discuss
sion by all present the following otfi-
GERS were chosen: Foreman, e. Darr:
first assistant foreman, E. O'Neill: Sec
ond assistant foreman, Ebcn Mounce:
secretary, }. Howard Howe; treasurer,
Joseph Eakin. The election of a pres
ldent and vice-president was omitted
until the next meeting. A new cart
will be gotten from Chicago as soon as
1T can be obtained. This makes two
Hose teams and one Hook and Ladder
company in Lewiston, and it is reason-
able to expect that a series of interest
ing contests will be instituted later on.
People who ce-not like to 90 to
church on Sunday mornings can now
find an easy way out of the difficulty.
All that they have to do is to buy
Edison's latest and most wonderful in
vehtion-the mysterious "kinetograph"
and they can have sermons at home
in the cool seclusion of the mountains.
| Yea: they may even listen to them
while they recline in their beds wooing
the breeze that is almost ever found in
the glorious climate of Idaho. The
kinetograph will show them on a cur
tain, the image of popular pulpit
orator, gesticulating according to his
wont: and they will hear him speak as
if they were in church.
While driving along Main street one
day last week, the covering to the
Booth water ditch gave away and let
one of Tom Wordons horses down into
it. A large number of men gathered
around and after working half an hour
succeeded in getting the animal out
without doing any serious injury.
Since then Mr.. Booth has had the COW
ering investigated, and wherever weak
places could be found new timbers
were put in.
The boom near the Lindsay place
has been completed for the purpose of
catching John Bymeister's large drive.

of lumber timber for l.. A. Porter, and
twelve hundred cords of wood for him.

ton. This is the largest drive ever
brought down the river and it will ar.
rive in about three weeks.
Hose Company No. were out Mon
day morning and attached two sections
of hose to the Damas hydrant, for the
purpose of testing the pressure direct
from the pump house, and not from
the reservoir, as usual. No difference
could be noticed, to speak of, and
streams of water from each of the hose
were carried about one hundred and
twenty-five feet.
