This Side the River.

&C. Van Ar-dal chief of construc-
ton was in town yesterday. From
him we learned that the work IN all
lines was progressing rapidly. A force
OF about fifty men has been at work
this week on the rock work this side
OF the river. Yesterday a whole camp
OF graders were moved to this edge OF
the reservation line ana these will
grade back toward the river.
There have been five miles of new
track laid in all Work IN the track
laying has been delayed by need OF
temporary bridges caused by the high
waters in Potlatch creek. Two thou
sand feet of track was laid Yesterday
This brings them to another temporary
bridge which will occasion some little
delay but when this obstruction is
passed there will be clear straight track
to the river.
At the bridge everything will be III
readiness for the timbers when the
road reaches there. Since the steel
shoes have come 200 piles have been
driven for the piers with no further
difficulty. All gaps in the grading
north of the liver are being r. pidiy
closed up. Nothing short of extreme
highwater with heavy drift to carry
out tie piling will delay the construc-
ton from reaching Lewiston in the
early part of June, and there is but
little probability Of high water this
year.

A MOTHERS PLEA.
Hoping That the State Will Allow
Her Financial Aid.

The following letter addressed to
Weather Observer Barwick explains it
self. It comes from a widow with two
children, who desires to know If the
State can help her in her struggle for
existence. The letter is dated Aromas,
September 18th, and reads:
J. A. Barwick, Esq, Please, sir,
would like to ask If you think I could
get the State to pay to me the S75 per
year that the State allows to the half
orphan when kept in the Orphans
Home, in consequence Of their father
Michael German, now deceased, being,
when he lived term Of years a vol
untary Weather Observer / had our
two children in the orphanage in Mis-
sion San Jose for two years. They are
dong better since I have taken them
home. I have them home for the past
fifteen months. They are little help,
and much company to me. I am strug-
Cling along on a little place, in debt,
and am much in need of help.
1t seems like a good mother ought
to be the fittest to bring up her chill
dren, as I am sure all my neighbors
will give me the credit of being. The
children, When home, are near a good
school.
If anything can be done in this mat
ter. please let me know to whom should
l apply. Yours respectfully,
MRS. M E. GORMAN.
