How is it that our school board,
after advertising for bids for their
coal supply. positively refuse to give
the contract to the lowest bidder: An
effort was first made to throw out or
ignore the lowest bid entirely, and
failing in that the contract was
awarded to three different parties.
The lowest bidder got one third of the
supply needed at $3.50 per ton, the
other two-thirds was given to other
parties at 500 per ton. So our school
board is giving two coal dealers 30 cents
ton extra. just for cid acquaintance
sake, with their political influence
thrown in. This is high handed out
rage and straight stealing from the
public crib to feed the old political
hacks.
This 30 cents ton money comes out
of the already tax ridden people of the
city. About how long are the people
going to submit to these business meth
odss Messrs. Padden & CO., one of
the high price bidders, was also allow
ed to put in no less than FIVE bids,
while Mr.. Diffor, the low priced bidder
had hard work to get his one bid open
ed and considered. The school board
should be impeached and turned out Of
office.

lewiston has. His show window has
a choice display of Lewiston fruit and
1t attracts every passerby. He has
added to the collection lately several
potatoes weighing two and three
pounds, and one pear weighing two
and one quarter pounds. Mr.. Lake
has further advertised the town by
sending choice specimens of its fruit to
parties ut distance, who are likely to
be interested in this locality. 1t is a
practical plan and cannct help but
bring good results.
Rev. J. D. McConkey's Select School
reopened last Monday, Oct. 10. He
wishes 1t distinctly understood that
this school is not, nor has it been in
years past, carried on either in conflict
with, or in opposition to the public
schools Of this city. He also Invites
particular attention to the following:
First, he takes no pupils who are un-
gentlemanly or insubordinate, or any
who play truant, who run back and
forth from one school to another, who
have been suspended or rexpelled. Sec
ond, he takes only those who desire to
learn; to avail themselves of the higher
branches, or to be advanced in their
primary work preparatory to entering
the public school.
There seems to have been some un.
necessary apprehension among our
farmer friends in regard to the scale
found on fruits shipped in here from
abroad. Scale is appearing on the
trees In several of the orchards and the
growers are on the outlook to head off
the pest. So much has been charged
against the fruits shipped here that one
of our dealers, E. Texier, took occasion
to send lemon effected by scale to the
Oregon State Board of Horticulture
and received a reply from E. w. Allen,
it's secretary, to the effect that the red
scale effecting the lemons is not injuri-
GUS to any but citron fruits, and that
nothing was to be feared from it here.
This will set at rest all fears of the pest
from this quarter.
Lewiston Is to have a cigar factory
Mr.. Samuel Paulson, late of Larimore,
North Dakota, has rented the building
lately occupied by DR.. NJ. A. Kelly,
and has now stored there a partial
stock of tobaccos. He will be ready for
business as soon as the boxes he has
purchased arrive, and they are expected
in a few days. ATELLER reporter Wis
tied Mr.. PAulson at his place of bust
ness last Tuesday, and had the pleasure
of seeing and securing the first cigars
ever rolled in Lewiston. Mr.. Paulson
is an adept and experienced hand al
his business and expects to work uE
an extensive trade at this point. Ht
will, if trade justifies it, put on force
that will turn out 1900 cigars daily
He says that he can furnish the trade
with better cigar than they are now
handling and that he will manufacture
nothing but first article.

The cheering news comes to hand
that eastern capital has become inter-
ested IN putting in canning factory
at Lewiston. l.. A, Porter has sue
ceeded in interesting some parties in
the scheme and all fruit growers on the
river will enter into it, agreeing to fur
nish fruit at reasonable prices and
take stock in the enterprise. 1t is q
scheme that has every element of sue
Cess and it will undoubtedly be put
through next year. Mr.. Porter has
further secured the contract to furnish
boxes fl r the Snake River Fruit Grow
ers Association next year, and will be-
gin on the contract at once. This se-
cures the expenditure Of fully $4,000
here next year. Enterprise and
business is picking up on every hand
and everything points to prosperous
future. i
The government scow and force of
men in charge Of engineer Wood, ar
rived IN Lewiston Monday and began
work near the Red Warehouse. They
are engaged in removing the loose
Ooulders that lie along the shallow
water of the bar. Some of these are re-
moved by graphing hooks aud broken
up, but the larger ones are gotten out
by blasting. The blasts are put in dur.
the day time and fired off the first
thing in the morning. Holes are
drilled in the rock from three to four
feet deep and charge of dynamite
put In. Often it takes three and four
holes toa single rock. The work at
the Red Warehouse and at the point
above will enable the steamer to get
in t" the landing and out with much
larger loads than could formerly be
done. The Faxon has never at low
water been able to get from the ware.
house with m re than 500 sacks, and
loading at Asotin has not been able to
get in at all, but must land ut the bal
below. All this now will be avoided
! and the boat will now be able to take
from 1900 to l4OO sacks out from the
landing. The work just finished by
this crew was at Little Pine Tree
There from fifteen to twenty large
boulders were removed by blasting anG
a score or SO of lesser ones weighing
from 800 to 600 pounds were removed
by graphing irons. These rocks arr
all drift boulders that have lodged II
the head of the rapid water in tn,
shadows, and their removal will be b
immense advantage to navigation
along the river. This work being com
pleted the party will begin some fine
work Of grading down some of the rap
ids and rounding off some of the sharl
points. 1t is to lie regretted that th1
appropriation is not large enough Il
put all necessary work on the rive
that present transportation demands
