A Cossldsrate Thief.

Some shifty member of the light
fingered fraternity picked off a pair OF
shoes from the display rack at the
Hastings & Butter6eld shoe store yester-
day afternoon. Speaking Of the occur
renee, Mr.. Butter6eld said; "He was very
considerate. I do not know of pair he
could have taken that would have caused
me less concern, actually feel relieved
Of the responsibility of having to sell
them. Ihope, il he comes again, he VIII
pick shoes with the same considerate
Judgment he exercised yesterday"

HAS LIVED HALF A CENTURY

Postmaster J. l. Chapman Celebrates That
Event Today-Some "reminiscences Of Early
Life In Lewiston.
~ have lived half century today"
said Postmaster ]. l.. Chapman this morn
ing, and 80 years Of that time has been
spent in and about lewiston" When
pressed upon for details Of early life
here Mr.. Chapman gave some interesting
"reminiscences. His life began Dec. a.,
1850, at Evansville, Wisconsin. As
young man he learned the cooper's
trade. but on account Of failing health
he was forced to leave the rigorous eli.
mate Of Wisconsin and concluded to try
the Pacific coast. He came to California
in March Of 1870, with the tide Of immi-
grafton that came west GU the completion
Of the Union Pacific railroad. Mr. Chap
mans father and sister were in California,
but his brother, Len Chapman, was in Lew
iston, and on July 7o, 1870, Lowe Chap
man landed in Lewiston, having come
by steamer to Portland and up the river
by steamer and portage to the old wharf
landing at or near the present point at
the mouth Of Snake river. II spent my
first night at the Luna house. said MIR.
Chapman. "Chas. G. Kress, then tenn
porarily in charge, was the first man
met. The proprietor Of the Luna house
at that time was August Bittner, but he
was then in bad health and was in Cali
fornia. Lewiston was then struggling
village of about 900 or 400 inhabitants.
The business portion Of the town was
centefed in the block now occupied by
Fix and Moxley and in the block where
Alexander and Grostein now are. Crar-
lie Bunnell, with his little store, was
hardly considered in town, and there
we're no business houses further out than
his. Everything was vacant from Bun
nell's to the old packers shed where the
Kjos store now stands. The merchants
Of the town were Crostein & Binnard, A..
Damas and Levi Ankeny. The postoffice
WIS III u iOk uOuSS oOouN oPfoS'S$ 'AOus
Damas' present location. &. A. Thatcher
was the postmaster and his family lived
in rooms in the rear Of the building"
Mr.. Chapman did his first work for his
brother Len and Major Manning, who
had contract for logs to be delivered at
the Truax sawmill and wood to supply
the Lewiston trade. Lewiston was at
that time doing a big business in sup
plying the mines of Oro6no, Florence
and Warrens. The miners Of the upper
country all spent the winter here and
the town during that season was very
lively.
In 1875 Mr.. Chapman was married to
Miss Emma Thatcher. He bought and
built on the property that is now his
home and the place was considered
"away out of town" The country all
about Lewiston was unbroken range
covered with fine bunch grass which the
thrifty stock men used TO cut for hay.

The staff correspondent of the Chi

Roosevelt nomination and It's effect
upon the several state delegations, is
responsible for the following:
The Iowa and Massachusetts delega-
tions, who, in the persons of Congress
man Dolliver and Secretary Long, had
the only other really live candidates
cor the Vice Presidential nomination,
seemed to take as much pleasure in the
result as did the New. Y orkers. Over
at the Iowa headquarters large quart
bottles with tinfoil wrappers around
the cork and containing a sparkling
liquid which in the home of State not
given to prohibition would have been
taken to be champagne were opened in
goodly numbers. Whether it was cham
payne or not it is not necessary to more
than surmise, but it can be stated that
the corks popped when they were
draw. out, the contents sparkled in the
glasses, and everybod yHafTdrank it
seemed to enjoy it.
