The report has been current of late
that the Northern Pacific railroad CONF
pany would not extend their Spokane
IL Palouse branch to Lewiston this year,
but would stop all work on the line as
soon as the road was completed to Julia
eta. This, however, is not reliable.
A telegram was received by John
p. Volmer Monday fro Chief Engi-
neer kendrick, dated at Moscow, rela-
tive to the completion of the road to
this point and was anxious to meet our
pc lple in council. A mass meeting
was called Tuesday night at Grostein
& Binnard's hall, and our people
assembled in large numbers. D Kel-
ley took the floor and after making
few pointed and timely remarks placed
}. w. Poe in nomination for chairman
of the meeting, who was seated. d. S.
Dent was then made secretary. After
discussion of the situation commit
tee consisting of DR.. Nj. A. Kelly, C. G.
Bunnell and Robert Grostein to COM

! telegraphed him at Spokane that they
thought it advisable for him to come
to Lewiston, and he is expe ,ted in a
few days. Our citizens are still alive
to the fact that we must have the road
completed this year and will leave
nothing undone to accom- plish this end !;
and AS the matter now stanls Lewis
toms chances are very flatterng, and
our citizens will be found ready to
do what is fair.
