For crayon work, pastel, oil or water
colors, call on Ed. Smith, Lewiston's
artistic painter and designer. Do not
send away from home to have any pic
ture enlarged. Mr.. Smith makes
speciality of this work, and his work is
equal to any we have seen and the
prices are very moderate. Mr.. Smith
has this week completed crayon pic
ture of r. j.. Monroe which is pro-
nounced a most excellent likeness.
Capt. Baughman has this week re-
turned from Walla Walla where he has
been as delegate to the Waterway
Convention. If Senator McConnell's
bill for improving Snake river is
passed, Capt. Baughman will be placed.
in charge of the work ofexpending the
appropriation. No one is better ac-
quainted with the river and its needs.
Every one would be glad to see the
work of opening Snake river placed in
such efficient hands.
w. B. Palmer will shortly move to
La Grande, Oregon, where he will con-
tinue in the employ of Mitchell &
Lewis Co. He has received notice
that transfer would be shortly made
and he Is now waiting orders to 60.
The company have at La Grande one
of their largest branch houses, and Mr.
Palmer will have a more extended
field to exercise those qualifications
that have made him such an efficient
worker for the company here.

townsman, Jos. X. Cameron, last week
