Of its purchasing power. In reality the

PATRIOTIC LEWISTON.

We are pleased to note the unselfsh
patriotism OF that beautiful little rural
town OF Lewiston. fair Lewiston on the
Snake. Its citizens are overlooking

90 much OF it could be found in the little
town that nestlcs in the valley between
the towering hills OF the winding Snake

one major, one adiutant, one captain,
two lieutenants, I'VE sergeants, eight
corporals, two musicians and seventeen
privates. This makes Lewiston's quota
OF the company consist Of twenty officers
for seventeen privates furnished. Koot-
enai county furnished over fifty priyates
to ill up the company for tie Lewiston

were men who had seen fifteen years

The United States, we believe, has

continue the press censorship? The
American people are FESTIVE under the

train No. . on the Valley road, due
at that point at l.30 a. NJ, was few
minutes late and came down the road
while a Delaware, Lackawanna and

tion. The danger signal was out against
the express, but the engineer was un-
able to control his train.
The interlocking operator saw that
a wreck was inevitable unless the OK

ground within twenty-five feet of the
passing train. Wrecking crews re-
placed the derailed train within three
