Thompson, we're never blessed with

MIR. Thompson, was tl)e pioneer dray-
man of Lewiston. In the busy times
when the mines fiourished IN the in
terror, he handled the merchandise for
the pioneer dealers.
In the beginning of his business
relations with the old time merchants,
he received pay, for his labor in goods
at a tig discount. In this way he
some times, accumulated consider
able stock OF merchandise, so much in
fact that he became formidable COM

was very profitable. Mr.. Thompson
controlled that necessary of life for
many years. He bought all that was
brought to the city by the Indians and
for the profits of the investment and
for the labor of delivery he usually re-
ceived three dollars above first cost.
And it is reported that it was, the rule

Thompson who was u fitting helpmeet
at all times made the living expenses
on the farm. She furnished the table,
clothed the family and fed the teams
without the expenditure CT any
of the profits of Mr.. Thompson's busi-
ness. The most rigid economy was
the rule of the family. The Yankee
idea Of rigid economy prevailed to the
end of the old mans life. He often re-
marked, that he had mole money than
he could ever use and that his wealth
was n burden 10 him, but the habit of
sacrificing even bodily comforts to

save the pennies, never was abandoned.
BY unusual business foresight he be-
came one of the original townsite own
ers OF Lewiston. In the early days of
our development, the region above the
court house, was an uninviting sand
bank. 1t had been passed over by
thousands with never passing
thought of its value. Mr.. Thompson
filed homestead upon the vacant
tract. He p!owed and sowed the best
portions of the barren bars and his
harvests were large. He might
be called the pioneer farmer of
the Lewiston valley. His crops of rye
were the wonder of those who had re-.
garded the Thompson homestead as a
bleak desert. 1t is reported that ten
crops of volunteer hay were harvested
from one sowing, on what has always
been known as Thompson's field. The
success Of this pioneer experiment in
agriculture encouraged the extension
of cereal cultivation to adjoining tracts,
till the business grew to the present
general importance.
MIR. Thompson retired from business
about ten years ago. He has been re-
garded as one of the wealthy men of
north Idaho. For many years he IN
vested his accumulated wealth in farm
loans, with great profit from the high
rate of interest. The old gentleman
often related his experience ami ami
madverted the business conditions
incident to the change from pioneer to
modern methods. His early invest
ments seldom if ever resulted In loss
from inability or. fault Of borrower tn
repay their loans while the reverse bad

met with some losses, which disheart.
ened him 10 such All extent that he
trusted his business almost exclusively

TO one of the local banks for the past
ten years.
Although not an active member oi
any church organization. Mr.. Thomp-
son was regular attendant at public
worship and an avowed believer IN the
protestant Christian religion. He was
scrupuloisly honest in his dealings
with business associates. He was ex-
emplary in moral conduct.
The funeral services will take place
at > o'clock, this afternoon, from the
Presbyterian church.
