A Racing Association.

Lewiston is to have n racing associa-
ton. Such at least seems to be the prob
able result of meeting held last night
by those interested in the formation of
such an association. A very spirited
meeting was held at the Office of w. A.
Austin, the immediate outprowth of
which was the appointment of commit
tee OF incorporation, consisting of W. f.
kcttcuhach (chairmanl, R. c. Beach.
Geo. w. Fletcher and O. A. Kios of Lew
iston, w A Austin and Frank Morrison
of Charleston, and Jno Steel of Asotin.
The association will fit upthe Vineland
track and hold frequent race meetings
here during the season, and owing to its
climate the racing season in Lewiston
valley is practically all the year. No eli
mate in the northwest Is so well adaptt d
for the purpose OF training and racing
horses as this valley, aud especially is
this true when you consider the possibili
ties of winter training The venture is
an excellent business proposition.

Improved Telephone System.

Manager c. II. Causey of the Lewiston
Telephone Exchange is just completing
the improvements which were begun
about seven months ago. The Offices of
the company are now located in elegant
new quarters in the Nollmer building.
The growth of the system in Lewiston
has been very rapid, taxing The energies
OF the company to keep PAGE with the
demand for new service.
The total improvements made i'll the
system here since last September aggre-
gate i'll cost over $500. A complete new
system of poles and wiring has been put
over the entire city. The new directory
now just out shows that the Lewiston ex-
change has now 200 telephones, making
it the largest exchange in this section of
the country outside Of Spokane
Additional force has been put in the
operating department. There will now
be four day operators, and three working
on the evening shift up till s O'Clock.
After that hour one operator will take
charge of the all-night service.
This improvement work has been de-
layed somewhat by the rapid growth of
the system, which left the company al
ways short Of material and caused tenn
porary work, which often impaired the
service The hindrance to the compile
ton OF the new building was another de
lay, but after this week Manager Causey
assures the public that no system i'll the
country can insure better service than
that given by the Lewiston exchange.
