rests with the council. The mat
ter was not reached at the regular
meeting Monday night and it will
probably be taken up next Mon
day night rthe adjourned meet
ing. II the mem 'ers of the
council vote for fire hydrants the
water company under the terms
of its franchice must give the re-
quired fire pressure. The cost to
the city will be more than returned
to the city treasury by the half
mill tax upon the property benc-
fitted, otherwise the citizans upon
the Hill can elect to refuse pay
ment of this tax for fire protection,
throwing the burden on those
benefited The charter is very
clear thai the burden of taxation
must fall! upon those who enjoy
the benefit.

There is an increasing demand in
Lewiston at present for dwelling
houses, and that demand will be
greatly augmented as tie tall and
winter approaches. Last year lack
of dwelling houses kept out hun
dreds of families who purposed
wintcring here, and in the coming
winter the demand will be double
that of last year. The reputation
of Lewiston's delightful winter
climate has been Widespread, and
this alone, if there were no increase
oil business activity. would attract
many families here for the winter.
But the present indications are that
all through the fall and the win
ter, at least, the business oppor-
tunities of the city will excel those
offered at any other location in the
Northwest. The active railroad
building which for the next year
will center about this place will in
itself create good business oppor-
tunities, which will be readily
grasped by the investor. The pop
ulation will increase rapidly, and
the demand both for business and
resident property will be active and
persistent.
