ROAD from Weippe to Kendrck. The
building of this road will open an
immense tract of fine land, and will
give outlet to the produce of that fer
tile region, besides it will attract hum
dreds of emigrants to its fertile soil.
Roads and lines of communication are
the necessary adjuncts in opening up
any new country. This section of
Idaho is greatly in need of item. 4
Felix Warren, of Lewiston, has been
employed by the Worlds Fair man
agement to organize and equip wild
west show, which is intended to be an

color, which are to be driven by him
self to chariot containing number

Miss May Howard, billed for the
opera house for Saturday night, in spir-
itualistic and seance work, attracted a
large audience. The tricks of legerde-
main were in most part so skillfully
performed as to mystefy the audience
completely. But every one knows
them to be slight of hand performances.
The day of spirits and witchery has
long since passed. 1t is only Il question
of skill and deception, but credit must
be given for the skill, even if we cannot
swallow the spirit wrappings and visi-
tations from the ETHEREAL world.
Tuesday evening as the school chill
dren were vending their way home-
ward, an accident occurred which
looked for time as if it would end
most seriously. AS Edith Mounce,
Claudio Cox and Grace Pierstoff were
driving home in their cart, the horse
became suddenly frightened at a pass
ing cow and jumped aside completely
overturning the cart and throwing the
girls heavily to the ground. All were
well shaken up and thoroughly fright
ened, but none seriously hurt, but
Claudio Cox, who is so bruised and
disabled as to be kept from school this
week.
Teaming and freighting has been
lively in Lewiston all week. In addi-
ton to the freight moving out to Camas
prairie, the Indians have been busy
hauling the large consignment of gov
ernment freight recently received for
the use of the Agency ano the Agency
school. The freight consists of sewing
machines, heating stoves, reapers, now-
ers and general merchandise. The
freight was teamed out by Indian
teamsters and the citizens have been
treated to the rather novel sight of see
ing the noble red men handle four and
six horse teams, which they do as skill
fully as any one could.
News of most distressing accident
reaches US this week from near Gen
esee. A workman employed about a
threshing machine fell and was drawn
into the cylinder and frightfully
crushed. 1t seems that in attempting
to walk from one side of the machine
to the other across the front of the feed
box. board broke and one leg and side
were drawn into the revolving cylin'
ders. No power could save him. The
machine itself threw his mangled body
out with force to carry it many feet
away. The mans name could not be
learned, and latest reports are to the
effect that he still lives, though
chances for his recovery are extremely
doubtful.
The contract for making the road
from Asotin creek to the top of the hill
over which the rock is to be hauled
from the Asotin quarry, was let last
week to Messrs Hopwood and Henry
and the work was begun this week
The new grade begins on Asotin creek
at point near Mr.. Hopwood's ranch
and leads up to the top of the hill'
distance of six hundred rods. The gen
tlemen think that the grade can be fill
ished in three weeks at furthest, anC
sooner if help can be had to work on it
So many of the farmers are busy JUS
now in threshing and fruit harvest
that it is impossible to get the requl
site amount of help. From the top o
the hill to Lewiston the road is clever
miles and down grade all the way. A
the quarry the work is going on rapidly
and the stone is coming out in fin'
shape. A team can pull all wagor
will hold. 1t is likely that Mr.. Osburr
of Portland will visit the quarry thi'
