A Valuable Summer Spray.

Prof. r. C. Kedz,e Of the Michigan
agricu ltural college and experiment
station, has discovered spraying
mixture more reliable as an insecticide
than Paris green, which does not burn
the foliage of trees, and which costs
less than four cents a ba, rel. 1t il not
patented, and here are his directions
for making it: Boil two pounds OF
white arsenic and fur pounds OF sal
soda for fifteen minutes in two gallons
of water. Put into jug, label poison,
and lock up. When ready to spray,
slake two pounds of lime and stir IT
into forty gallons of water, adding a
pint of the mixture from the jug, The
mixture in the jug will cost As cents
and this is enough for 800 gallons OF
twenty barrels of spray. These twenty
barrels will require forty pounds OF
lime, which will cost twenty cents
more, making the total cost sixty-hyt
cents for twenty barrels or three anc
ONE fourth cents barrel. Its advan
tages over Paris green are as follows
1t is cheaper and the ingredients Cal
+, be found In any village drug store; j
is easily prepared and easily KEEP
ready; it will keep for any length o
time: it is uniform in strength; it doc
not i,,jure the leaves Of trees or plants
it culors rhe leaves white, showing
how evenly it is distributed.

The Bunnell brick is now complete.
1t is one of the substantial and orna-
mental structures of new Lewiston.
The outside dimensions are 40x60.
This is dividad into three front rooms
and one back room on the main floor.
There are one large store room l6x6O

Main street. f. w. Kettenbach Is the
lessee of the building and he will Oc-
cupy the large office room In which he
will conduct Oh insurance business
together with the management Of the
city water company's business. The
smaller room will be occupied by Mrs.

The settlers in the vicinity of Cotton
wood creek on the reservation are In
earnest about road to Lewiston down
the Clearwater river. This road has
been granted b, the county commits
sioners, and the people propose to com
plete 1t. They will turn out In a body
as soon as their crops are planted and
finish the work. They ask the people
of Lewiston to furnish the powder tc
do the rock work. This 10 \ very i'm
portaiit matter. 1t will give an outlet
to large settlement that can be uset
at all seasons of the year Much trade
has been lost to Lewiston during thu
past winter by the impossible condi
ton of the road In Soldier Canyon
The road question should not be neg
'ected any longer. The lesson Of thi
winter should arouse both public ant
private energy in the Improvement
and extention Of county roads.

was announced Tuesday. She passed
away quietly at ll:l5 a. M, April Ii.
She had suffered severely and long
from dropsy and her death was not

This good lady was pioneer of the
Pacific coast; and one of the very old.

fed with the hotel interest on the
coast since 1853 and was well known
to thu travelling public. Probably no
lady in all the country had wider
circle of personal acquaintances than
Madame LIE Francois, particularly in
the time of the early visitors to Lewis
TN; and who in the great Pacific
northwest has not visited Lewiston at
some time in the past?
Madame LeFrancois began the busi-
tess Of catering to the public in tent
hotel on the cite of the Hotel deFrance
in 1851. Her first husband Paul
!. Bonhore died here in 1862. and she
was married the following year ia
Capt. Charles LIE Francois who had
ofen an officer in the French regular
army and was Il distinguished gentle
man in the early history o! the Clear.
water basin. Mr.. LeFrancois died IN
this city in 1872.
The Madame had been interested il

nearly 36 years; and with the excep

It has been reported that the Indians
on the reservation have subscribed q
thousand dollars TO promote the prose-
cution Of II. s. Browne the Moscow
banker who buncoed then. out Of
$40, 600. The Indians are law unto
themselves In cases Of horseste Allng
aud other conditions Of larceny. The
extreme penalty for theft under tribal
laws was death. A few years ago
horse thief was captured by the
Indians; aud when he was returned
to the reservation border he WAS exc
cuted without process of trial. Tie ex-
ecutioners were tried In Lewiston, and
acquitted upon the ground that tribal
laws were supreme upon the reserva-
hon. This legal example had
salutary effect. II would be interest
ing to witness the trial Of browne
under the laws Of the Indians. Crude
Justice administered without the cir.
cunlocution Of modern Jurisprudence
would be an interesting study when
app lied to those wDo appropriate other
peoples money by methods that are
not made crimes under our statutes.

plant crops to meet the next years
demands for home supplies. The feed

supply on Camas Prairie has been
quite exhausted. The grass, however,

 w. B. Lount in digging a cess pool at his residence on the LOunt tract north of this city yesterday came upon metate at a depth of fifteen feet A metate is an Indian instrument for grinding corn, the antiquity of which has been traced back to and lost in Aztec antiquity. Several feet above the deposit there was a thick layer of almost impenetrable cement. The discovery of the metate along with a great deposit of round worn stores under the cement prove this, that, where they were found was at some time bed of the Salado; that at that particular place there was a powerful eddy which gathered stones and crowned them with clay which, beat upon by the waters, turned to cement. How long ago the river bed was there is matter of conjecture. It may have been 1G0 or 800 years ago. The depth below the surface signifies nothing, for deposit of the same depth may be formed in a single season.

Not only are there whales in abundance along the shores, and innumerable seals, wal ruses, and white bears, but great herds of fat reindeer on the tundras, and wild sheep, foxes, hares, lem mings, whistling marmots, and birds. Perhaps more birds are born here than in any other region of equal ex- tent on the continent. Not only do strong winged hawks. eagles, and va ter fowl, to whom the length of the continent is only a plea sant excursion, come up here every summer in great
