The City Needs a Re-Survey.

ID. II. Guilland, civil engineer, has
been engaged the past few days in run
ming line on T. street and Snake River
avenue, endeavoring to establish lines to
ascertain if the Lewiston Roller Mills
buildings occupy any of the public thor
oughtare. 1t will be remembered that a
recent survey of the streets by City Engi-
neer Mccullough located these buildings
81 feet OH the city's thoroughfare.
Mr.. Guilland SO far has not been able
to accomplish anything definite, for the
reason that several of the monuments
and bench marks that were placed in po-
sition for the true survey are oblterated
and cannot be found. He says, however,
that he has run enough lines to satisfy
himself that if DIR. Boston's buildings are
III the street there are many more along
or Main street that are in the same
predicament. The only way to solve the
problem, he thinks, is TO resurvey the
city, which matter will probably come up
before the council at its next mee ting for
consideration.
Mr.. Guilland has until recently been
employed as engineer on the tunnel that
is being constructed near Orc Fino, on
the Clearwater extension of the Northern
Pacific.

Clearwater Extension.

Tom O'Keefe, foreman Of the tracklay-
ing on the Clearwater extension of the
Northern Pacific, spent Sunday in the
city. He states that the track is across
the North Fork and will be into Orc Fino
by the end Of this week There are about
100 men employed in surfacing, and many
more could be used if they were obtain.
able. Orc Fino will be supply headquar-
tiers for some time to come
Mr.. O'Keefe said that it is possible the
tunnel being constructed may be "slloo-
fled; by this it is meant that tie track
will be laid around it, as ii will be thirty
days before the boring of the tunnel will
be completed.
1t will reqtiffe 90 days with the present
working force to complete the grade to
Stuart, the terminus.
Preparations are being made TO build a
large grain elevator at l.enore. A tram

Viewing the Proposed Road.

Chairman Isainan of the board of
county commissioners left Yesterday to
view the proposed new road that the
citizens OF the county have been clamor-
ing for of late from Waha down to the
mouth of Wapshilla creek. This road
when opened, which is estimated will
cost only few hundred dollars, should not
only give the travelling public passable
road TO Snake river, the most feasible
route at present to the new copper camp
on the Imnaha, but as well give many
settlers wagon road from the interior.
Mr.. Cummings, who will establish a
stopping house near the river, will
donate money as well as voluntary work
MIR. Isanan will make his report at the
October meeting of the board.

Public Reception at The Fashion.

The fall millinery season was happily
inaugursted Saturday evening when the
Misses Kennedy and Schaner opened the
doors of the Fashion for the reception of
their friends and patrons. The rooms
were quickly filled and the crowd con-
tinned during the evening many linger-
ing longingly Till the close.
The rooms were brilliantly lighted.
Palms and flowers formed a part of the
decorations, but the main features of the
display designed TO catch the eye were
the artistic creations of new millinery
which fill the windows, the cases and the
counters, artistically arranged to bring
out with fullest effect the harmonious
blending Of culors. There were toques
aud pokes and bonnets of the latest de
sigu from "Gay Paree," artistic finished
products of the millinery art
From the main room the guests passed
to the rear where punch was served.
This artistic cosy corner was quite as at
tractive as the main room. Ii was
| canopied in red and the same color
design was maintained in the setting oi
the brilliant posters that we're used IL
the decorations, and also i'll the beverage
served the guests.
During the entire evening the orches-
ira discoursed delIghtful music, The
! opening was pleasant surprise success
ful in every detail. The proprietors
were assisted by Misses Jennings, Ander-
son aud Spoiford in the entertainment Of
the evening.

Real estate firms Of this city report
that while there is not so many inquiries
made by prospective realty investors the
majority of those that do make inquiry
invariably invest. J. n. Stacy, the real

vesiment within the past few weeks than
there has been for the past two years.

The Line to Buffalo Hump.

7. a. Clark, locating engineer for the
Northern Pacific, returned to the city
Saturday evening after three months alb
sence. Mr.. Clark has been chief of a
party engaged in running a line of sur
vey through Idaho county to Buffalo
Hump. He states that the distance Of
the line run is I24 miles, which extends
from the mouth of the Potlatch to the
forks of the Clearwater thence up the
South Fork, passing Jackson's bridge, to
the mouth of Crooked river, and UP this
river, over the divide, to the Hump. He
retraced from this point and ran a line
into Elk City. Part of his work was of a
preliminary character, and portion a
regular location survey. A good, easy
grade was established upon both these
lines. Mr.. Clark asserts that the road
will run through good agricultural and
tinbered country and if constructed will
be the means of developing these many
industries.
Mr.. Clark had the misfortune to re-
ceive fall injuring his left shoulder,
which incapacitated him from duty for
several days, and he has not entirely re-
covered vet, He states that there is ac-
tivity in mining development both at Fix
City and Buffalo Hump. The work is
being prosecuted on many claims, and
the showing in most cases is good
Mr.. Clark left by steamer Monday
morning for few days business visit to
Weiser. He expects TO return within a
week

The Real Name is Ya-ka.

Thomas Beall is authority for the fol-
lowing. He accosted the scribe saying;
II will tell you an incident wherein the
Potiatch creek received lis present name,
although its true name is Ya-ka. In the
spring of 1861, when the rush to the Orc
Fiuo mines was being. made by the seek
ers of wealth and fortune, no travel was
allowed over the Indian reserve on the
south side of the Clearwater, therefore
the only ingress 10 the rich placer terri
tory necessarily had to be made via the
north bank of the stream. The spring
freshets were at their heighth, as we'll as
the travel, and there being no mode of
getting across the Potlatch, which was a
raging torrent, Schuck-la-toma-h -hi-hi
(White OWL, Nez Perce Indian, under
took the job of ferryman. Being the pos
SCISSOR of white bobtail horse, he crossed
all foot passengers and their roll of blank

vance, payable on the west bank of the
creek.
There came along one day man who
was rather would probably
tip the beam at $50 pounds. Schuck-la-
toma-hi-hi mounted the horse and the
large man was assisted to seat on be-
hind. Under the heavy weight the ami
NAL stumbled and the passenger was
swept down the stream towards the mouth
with good chances of finding a watery
grave in the Clearwater. The Indian,
who for some reason had neglected to col
lect his toll in advance, dismounted from
his bobtail steed and plunged into the
icy stream and pursued the ill-fated pas
senger, halloaing at the top OF his voice
'Potlatch nox = 'Potlatch nox" Give

Losing One Capital.

ginning of next month they will have
to stoping that Newport and Provl-
dence are the two capitals of Rhode
Island. The former is going to lose
its high estate. After having been a
capital city for two centuries and a
third it will become simply pleasure
resort. The recently elected Governor
is to be inaugurated there on June ,.
and then its political glories will be
at end. Connecticut had two capitals
for "a long time because the two colo

Now For a street Fair.

The Street Fairs held in Carlyle,
Belleville and Cairo, Illinois, last
year have given sufficient proof that
such an enterprise would pay we'll for
our city. If properly managed We can
safely count on eight or ten thousand
visitors during the time of the fair.
while our Capaha and Trades parades
could hardly draw one-fourth of this
number of strangers to this town.
A Street Fair held at the time of the
District Fair would be great help to
the latter, as the majority of the visi-
tors would surely be attracted by the
agricultural exhibition and races
while in the city.
The expense for erecting the booths
or stands is merely a trihe and this
only for one year, as the lumber and
other material can be used again next
year. The license to be paid by the
side sshows (which could exhibit on
empty let's, would nearly pay all the
expenses of the general management,
music, etc.
The preparation for a Street Fair
should be made in the near future. and
We suggest that our business men meet
at some convenient room this week to
discuss the matter and appoint the
respective committees.
