water Country this Trip

President Elliott of the Nothern Pa
cific railway and party of N. p. off,
Gals who are travelling via special
train inspecting the company lines in
this country, will not visit Lewiston
during this trip, at least advises up to
this time are to that effect.
No reason is assigned for his having
cut Lewiston and the Clearwater coun-
try from his itinerary, but it is pre-
sumed that Mr.. Elliott's time has been
taken up inspecting other sections of
the N. P. line, and business calls him
and the party back to st. Paul.
1t is regretted that President Elliott
could not pay Lewiston a visit at this
time so that he may have become ia
miliar with this particular section, but
it is hoped that he may visit Lewiston
in the near future.
The Northern Pacific company have
issued a circular changing the name of
Vollmer station to that of Troy which
name was adopted by the postoffice de-
partment two years ago. The station
name of Harriston, Wash, on the main
line of the N. P. has been changed to
keystone.
