Lewiston August Weather.

The monih of August this year was
the warmest of the summer season. The
thermometer at the weather bureau sta
tion reached a maximum of 1903 or the
18th Of the month. With but one ex-
ception this is recorded as the warmest
day in Lewiston for 40 years. The ex-
ception was Aug. ~, 1897 when the
thermometer reached III, as reported by
the volunteer observer. These volunteer
reports however were very inaccurate
and no doubt the heat Of both days was
abont the same.
Another feature OF the month is the
fact that it was dry from the ISL to the
22nd then series of rains set in which
lasted four days and brought the amount
OF precipitation up to I.34 inches. The
record precipitation as given by the vol
unteer observer for August in 1896 was
LAT The prevailing winds for the
month was west.

Want Forest Reserve Extended.

The people OF Idaho county are taking
up the question of range feed in the
mountain and the way they propose to
protect the grass is to haze the govern
ment extend the forest reserve.
On the question the Grangeville Stand
ard publishes the following facts: "It is
reported that there are go, 900 sheep on
Whitebird creek, and that they have
eaten practically every vestige of grass
and vegetation for miles along the creek.
Those who have cattle which they had
expected to range III that locality, will
have to 60 elsewhere for feed, as there is
nothing left where the sheep have assed
over
"Freighters, prospectus and others
who are interested in having the feed in
the mountains remain good, are said to
be urging that the government take i'm
mediate action in extending the forest re-
serve lines as was proposed last year.
This would take IN all the grazing terri
tory in question, and all the ter itory be-
tween here and the Hump, as well as
most of the country east of the Salmon
river to the present reserve line. Sheep

only small quantity of grass to take its

THE TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT
Appointment Of a Mormon at Boise Creates a
DisturbanCe- Gives Democrats a Campaign

The appointment of Mormon bishop,
| II. S. Woody, to a fat Federal Office is
giving the Democrates of Idaho much
joy. Indeed, some of the more enthusi-
astic openly express their intention OF
making the next state campaign on the
anti Mormon issue, and as women are
| allowed to vote in Idaho, the issue may
be we'll taken. Political and church
circles are much disturbed over the
request which recently came from Wash
ington, d. c.. to J. w. Cunningham,
superintendent OF the assay Office at
Boise, stating that his resignation would
be acceptable. The disturbance was in
creased by the announcement that United
States Senator w. B. Hepburn had re.
commended the appointment of II. S.
Woody, a prominent Mormon bishop, to
the place.
1t is felt in church circles that the Nor
mons are displaying much activity, and
all the non Mormon element is somewhat
uneasy over what the preachers allege to
be the undue political influence of the
Latter Day Daints, who are very numer.
Gus in the southern districts.
Cunningham was appointed by Presi-
dent Mckinley in 1896 and his admins.
tration Of the Office has not been ques.
toned. He is man Of some wealth, has
been consstt mt Republican, and his
contributions to the sinews of war were
supposed to make his position secure.
His friends point out that his removal is
in direct opposition to Roosevelt's public
announcements that he would not re-
move efficient public servants Cunning
ham himself has published a letter
written to him by Senator Hepburn in
which the Senator indicted that he had a
high opinion of Cunningham and would
neither urge nor acquiesce in his removal.
Senator Hepburn himself, in a recent
interview at Spokane, denied that Woody
is his candidate. He admitted that he
had recommended him, but said that he
did so at the request of National Com
mtteeman Standrod, State Chairman
Gcoding and Representative French, and
that these men represent the Republican
party.

Students Get UnIvsrsity Standins.

Word has come to friends here from
Miss Fay Yantis at Stanford University
stating that she aud Miss Clare Morris
had been admitted to University stand
ing on the credentials taken from the
High school here. The full Importance
of their success can be better appreciated
when the fact isn known that 900 girls
coming from high schools throughout
the west have been turned away. The

some idea can be obtained from the
statement that the locust trees from
which those that now grow on the side
of the declivity near the southeastern
corner of the lot sprouted, were so near
the side of the building that students
sitting near the windows could pick
blossoms without rising from their
seats.
The external appearance of the build
ing was very plain. 1t was two stories
high with a tower extending several
feet above the roof on the front and
built on the outside of the building.
Inside wooden benches stood parallel
to broad central aisle, rising one
above another on the platforms to the
side walls. A huge box-like affair,
sl1eathed up from the floor on three
sides, with three or four steps on the
fourth side leading up to the entrance
constituted the teachers desk. This
was located at the head of the central
aisle.
On Sept. 21st, 1851, the old academy
building was burned. The school was

next moved his school to the Centre
school building. Secret night guards
watched lest this, too, might be visited
by the same one who had twice caused
the students to be without a recitation
room. The students watched for sever
al months by turns, without seeing
anything mysterious. Late in the fall,
when watching had become so cold that
it was necessary to build a small fire,
the boys were rewarded for their
patience. A team was seen to drive up
Maple street, turn the corner. and
cautiously approach the school house.

man alighted from the wagon and
started toward the school house. Sud
denly he turned back, jumped into his
wagon and drove hurriedly away. 1t
was believed that the smoke rising
from the chimney frightened the men,
and stopped what might have been an
exciting scene.
Messrs Owen and Ham, two contrac-
tors. erected a new building, in 1855. 1t
now stands on the hill, a mile from the
Centre, in as beautiful a spot as was
ever selected for school house. A
lane of healthy naples leads the way
up the hill and onto the campus. This
is called lovers lane" and is said to
have derived it's name from the fact
that girls, in the shadows of the trees
as they returned home from Clionian,
used to confide their secrets to their boy
friends.
From the belfry can be seen the hills
of oxford county, the lakes to the
northward the plains to the eastward
while far to the west the White noun
tains appear like small hills.
The main part of the present building
is of brick. A wooden addition has
been built onto the rear for recitation
rooms, library and chemical laboratory.
In the extreme rear of the campus a
long horse shed has been recently cree
ted as a place for the students who
drive from the surrounding towns to
store their horses.
