There Is talk of reviving the Lewis
ton Band. Many of the old players

Is most excellent one. Lewiston
needs brass band at all times and es-
pecially so, when campaign year comes
on.
Much has been said and written dur
ing the past few days about an extra
session Of the legislature. Many diff
ferent opinions prevail, but the senti-
ment in this locality Is decidedly in
opposition to the movement. The

cellent discussion of this question by
Judge Wing. He meets point by point
all the questions at issue and decides
against the advisability Of holding an
extra session.
The County Commissioners have
been in session this week, and have
been busy up to date In settling the
matter of reduction in the assessments
made by the State Board of Equaliza-
ton. The twenty per cent. raise is all
to be refunded. This will return to the
tax payers some $1,000 already collected
and release from the delinquent some
$500 worth Of property, for which pro-
test Of payment was made because Of
the extra assessment. The county off,
GERS are to be paid for their services in
collecting and disbursing this fund,
and SO the blunder Of the State Board
will cost the county several hundred
dollars to adjust all matters.
Under the provisions of bill passed
at the late session Of the legislature,

trees infested will join hands with the
Commissioner and apply all possible
to cure the evil before it dam
ages other orchards and Injuries the sale
