Bids for the construction of the Temple
Opera house were opened at a meeting OF
the directors held at the Lewiston Ma
tional Bauk last night. A comparison
of the bills shows that the completed
building as planned will cost nearly $780,
600 this is $4,000 in excess of the fund
set aside for the construction. The
architect. j. X. Dow, is present before
the board and it is his opinion that the
plans cannot be altered materially nor
the building constructed at less cost and
meet the requirements of the speci6ca-
tions to provide an opera house, club
rooms and lodge rooms.
The following bids were submitted for
the construction of the building:
Harry Madgwick, Lewiston, $s2, 1000

Word comes of Tammany that John
Nelson's artesian we'll has reached depth
of two hundred feet with standing water
of ninety feet. There are bright pro-
spects of good over-fowing well. This
we'll is being sunk by the Dowd Bros.
with their large drilling machine. 1t is
located in the Dowd Bros. artesian basin
from which there are number Of fine
overlooking fountains issuing. This pro-
misses to be the fourth. When the ques-
ton of water came up in Lewiston a
number of people thought that it would
be a wise plan to lay a pipe line from
this basin to the city for the purpose of
furnishing water to residents. Others
thought the supply would be limited and
the project fell through. The present
supply shows, however, that there should
have been no fear from such source as
there is an unlimited supply and some
are talking of piping the surplus water
from the wells to the second bench above

contemplate planting.

Charlotte Cary Can Marry.

In the probate court Saturday after.
noon there was an interesting case. A
jury of six citizens sat to hear the
evidence pro and con in regard to
whether or not Charlotte Cary knew
enough to attend to her own business.
The lady is a pioneer here and has con
siderable money. 1t appears that she
sold her city property for $1,000 and
bought the Baum property on street
for $500 and with the remainder went
to Spokane and purchased rings and
other fnery and had good time. While
there, although she is an old lady, it is
said she became infatuated with young
man who, the applicants for the appoint
ment of a guardian, allege is an ad-
venturer.
Upon her return to Lewiston Father
Post applied to Probate Judge Reese to
have guardian appointed. The appli-
cation was granted and George Kester
was named as guardian. 1t was for the
purpose of setting this action aside that
this action was brought. The jury de-
cided that Miss Cary is able to take care
of herself and gave a verdict in her favor.
Attorney Mcdonald appeared for the
guardian and Attorneys Anderson and
Needham for the ward. Attorney Nc
Donald moved IS days stay of execn-
ton. This motion will be heard today

lMNAHA BOILERS ARE HERE
Will Be Installed in Ten Days-Ssrvics Then
lnausuratsd between Lewiston and Pitts,
burg landing.

The boilers for the steamer Imnaha ar
rive Sunday night and yesterday they
were put aboard the boat where a corp:
of competent engineers are now at work
installing them. The Steamer lmnaha
has been completed for several weeks
ready for the boilers. There has been
| delay in this because the original plans
were changed. J. c. Campbell, who will
have charge of the boat as chief engineer,
drew new designs for the boilers after he
had examined the conditions here and
he went east to the factory and changed
the original plans. The boilers were
constructed bv w. J. Salberg & Son at
Lacrosse, Wis. The shell is about 90
inches in diameter and has I7S * inch
f1ues I3 feet long. 1t is tested to pres
sure of 225 pounds to the square inch.
No time will be lost in installing the
boiler and the company will begin the
navigation of up)er Snake river plying
between Lewiston and Pittsburg Land
ing. The Steamer Imnaha is built and
owned by the Lewiston & Southern
Navigation Co. 1t is built primarily to
assist the company in the operation of
their mining and smelling business at
the Eureka mines at the mouth of
Imnaha. At that point the Eureka
Mining & Smelling company expect to
build and operate a smelling plant.
Over 20 carloads of the smelter ma
chinery are in the company's warehouses
here in Lewiston awaiting transporta-
ton. But while built primarily to serve
private intert SITS the Imnaha will do a
general transportion business between
this city and up.river points making
Pittsburg landing the upper terminus of
its run. The traffic to be developed on
the upper river from indications will! tax
the capacity of the new boat and the
opening up of the trade with this point
will prove a great factor for Lewiston's
development.
