Mrs. A. Fl. Boomer, formerly of Idaho,
but now of San Francisco, who has taken
such an active part in providing for the
comfort of the Idaho regiment, earning
the appellation Of Mother of the Regi-
ment," has started an endless chain 10

the erection of a monument to Idaho's

The o. r. & N. officials say they have
been urged to navigate the Clearwater
this spring to relieve the grain growers
and dealers who have wheat stored OH
the river. The Northern has not been
able to handle the wheat stored on the
river as early as the conditions require.
The o. R. & N. people however claim
the N. p. bridge at Lapwai effectually
obstructs the Clearwater SO far as their
boats are concerned and that they are
thereby barred from affording relief to
the shippers on the Clearwater above
Spalding.
NJ l.. Goldsmith and William Lewis
returned Monday from tour to Cop
per river, in the Seven Devils district.
Mr.. Lewis discovered some rich lodges in
that region in early days which he be-
lieved to be valuable, but the conditions
were such that the ore could not be han
died at that time. The lodges had not
been located though the country was
full of prospectors. Mr.. Goldsmith
brought samples of ore to the city to have
it tested. If the values are satisfactory
they will be developed Immediately.
The annual department encampment
of the G. A. R. will be held in Lewiston

delegates will be present, as guests of
the local G. A. R. corps. The public
will be asked to aid in the entertainment
of these delegates. In addition to the
delegates there will be many visitors who
will pay their own expenses. The meet
ing of the department W. R. G. will
meet at the same time. A committee
will assume the subscriptions to meet
the expense of the visiting delegates
Paddy Ryan, who was discharged
from the county Jail last Saturday, got
into trouble again during the night fol-
lowing. The officers arrested him for
being drunk and disorderly. He made a
fight against being locked up. In the
encounter Officer Stonebreaker got a
broken thumb. Ryan was arraigned on
a charge Of resisting an officer and Judge
Sweet gave him sentence of as days.
There is, however, back of this sentence,
an understanding that Ryan may leave
the city whenever he gets tired of bread
and water, and will agree to stay away.
