A Heavy Rain Storm.

Last Friday the fine weather we
have been enjoying for the past
few weeks came to a temporary
end and in the afternoon and
all day Saturday the rain descended
in torrents, giving the dry soil a
much needed soaking. From the
appearance of the clouds it was
evident that great atmospheric
disturbances were visiting some
sections, and sure enough, report
comes from the center of the
prairie of the fall of great hail
stones accompanied by a heavy
wind, which demolished some
fields of grain and capsised one or
two houses in the path of the
storm. The deluge of rain was
general all over this section, but
no particular damage appears to
have been done, beyond a cloud.

Syndicate Engineer Here.

Alton l.. DickerMan, assistant
general manager Of the Buffalo
Hump syndicate, arrived here from
Spokane on Monday evening last
cnroute to the Hump to examine
the properties Of the syndicate.
Mr.. Dickerman met several of the
heavy subscribers to the Buffalo
Hump wagon road proposition at
an informal conference at tho
Bank of Camas Prairie on the
evening of his arrival, and an
nounced his intention of first
going into the camp to look over
the whole situation with the view
of placing such orders for machin-
cry as would be Immediately
required in the operations of the
syndicate, and he would then
carefully inspect the several routes
from Adams camp and Slate
creek into the Hump, and upon
his arrival here, about Monday
next, he expected to let a contract
or contracts for the completion of
the wagon road as called for in
the agreement between our citizens
and Mr.. Sweeney. Mr.. Dickerman
was generally familiar with the
conditions appertaining to the
route proposed, and thought it
was highly probable that but few
changes would be made in the
route upon which the citizens of
Grangeville expended $1,000 last
year. Mr.. Dickerman is chief
engineer for the syndicate and our
people were highly pleased with
what they saw of him in the brief
interview. He left for the Hump
by way Of Adams camp at an
early hour on Tuesday morning.

Change in Mail Service.

Commencing about June 25, the
mail for the Clearwater country
will be brought up over the Clear
water Short Line and will be
brought direct to Grangeville, thus
making saving of day. Under
existing conditions the mail is
brought up from Lewiston by way
of Craig's mountain, but it rarely
arrives here in time for distribu-
tion in the evening, consequently
we have to await the morning
before we can get it, Under the
new arrangements the mail will
arrive at Stuart at 1880 in the
afternoon and tho stages Of the
Idaho, Nevada & California Co.
leave Stuart Immediately and will
arrive here at all seasons in time
TO secure distribution Of the mail
on the evening Of its arrival. Mr..
Travis has also been advised from
his agent at Washington that the
special contract from Grangeville
to Florence has been awarded to
his company, and the service calls
for six round trips per week, SO
that they will be able to run a
daily stage into Florence from
Stuart. Incidentally the stage
company will also arrange for
stages to run from Adams camp
direct to Buffalo Hump.
1t will take some little time tt
secure the full benefits Of the new
service, as the mail distributes
will not be placed on the railroad
until the middle of July, but tn
improvement will be very benefi
cial to the business interests O
growing Grangeville, as under tn
conditions now in force lctte

Kamiah from Grangeville take
four days to deliver, as the mail
go from here to Cottonwood an
from that point there is only a sem
weekly service to the towns named
The service over Craig's mountai
will in all probability be reduce
to three times week.
Under the new schedule thei
will be daily mail service fror
Lewiston to Stuart, and close
fpouches will be taken on an

line of the road. At present thel
J towns have only tri-weekl
