Within the last week many old time
Lewistonians have returned to their
first love. They have come with re-
newed confidence in our future after
years IF disappointment in seeking a
better land. There is one sad feature
Of this circumstance. The Sc people de-
parted possessed of more or less
means and they return with little left
but hope for the future. 1t is refresh
ing to hear these old friends relate in
cidents of pioneer days in which the
good traits of character of our friends
are revived in memory.
\ stragger left the following on our
desk this week: LET us here in Lew
iston extract all burdensome tormality
from our paths of life. A little of it
makes ladies and gentlemen and stamps
Il refinement in our social life, but two
much f0rmality will never fail to cool
the heart, and appreciative sense, and
develop US into set of Idaho
nortas as shallow as fornality itself
Styles forms and manners will take
care of themselves with but little atten
ton but to lay too much stress on them
will forever bar the growth of natural
powers and stunt our faculties"
At O'Clock Saturday morning an
alarm of fire was sounded. An Old
shed adjoining Capt Williams furni.
ture store was well within the grasp OF
the destructive element when the
alarm came. Hose Go. No. re-
spouded promptly and did effective
work. Foreman Dill of that company
is an efficient officer. Mr.. Dips work
as II fireman deserves especial mention,
Tie energy and intelligence which he
eXcrts in fighting fire is Of 10 common
order. He has already dore good ser
vice in this city and the assurance
that such man is ever vigilant and al
his post should be conducive of sound
saunders. The fire did no damage as
the Old shed which was demolished to
save good property was an eyesore
! The origin of the fire is In doubt but il
was probably the result of caresessness
on the part of tramps who may have
been sleeping in its shelter.
A gentleman was in the city last week
| looking into the cannery prospects. He
was favorahly impressed with the out
look for such an enterprise here anC
proposed to proceed Immediately to es
| tahlish a ten thousand dollar plant
| here if the people would subscribe one
half the stock. He asked no bonU.
but wants the moral support of toe
public. The frIit men of this valley
| would do well to investigate this sub
| iect. The loss of fruit in this county
that is not available for market in :
green state every year. is more thar
the first cost of a cannery. If the frui
growers would display Il Willingness t.
subscribe literally in fruit for stock II
"A preserving proposition a great saving
would result. If there were tacliitle
in tuis line for handling small fruits
a big industry would spring into exis
rence at once. There is no branch
farming that is more profitable thai
the cultivation Of berries, bnt we hav
been prohibited this branch ofindustr
by the absence Of home market.
There is "A fine exhibit ot fruit in til
show window of Lakes ieWelry store
There are apples pears and peache,
the apples are of several snowy var
ieties and of we'll known good quality
The pears are of the huerre caste" var
ETY., it is one of the best in the wori
for its season and the pear is one OF tn
best fruits grown. This variety Is no
equal to the Idaho for general cnItivt
ton, put their samples are perfect, tn
peaches of course are not fine Salnpie'
thev are exhibited only as Il late va
iety, peach is not winter fruit,
peach in November is Il freak, the
show the possibilities of our own coui
try. This exhibit is from the orchard {
