Pumps Working by Tuesday.

w. A. Smith, superintendent of the
city water works, is rushing the repair
work on the big pump and is now con
fdent that by Wednesday night he will
have all repairs completed. The Lewis
ton Engineering AMI Iron Works CON-
pleted its work Monday and whole pump
engine and boilers have now been over
hauled and when put together will be in
better working order than at anytime in
the last five years. Mr.. Smith says that
he will have no trouble now to keep the
reservoir full and supply all needs of ir-
rigation for the city.
Work with the smaller pump has been
very satisfactory since the city has been
re districted aud besides water for do
mestic use and irrigation the pump has
been able to increase the amount in the
reservoir. After the big pump starts it
will not be necessary to run the smaller
pump bnt il will be held for emergency
pu rposes.

BUILDING BOOM IN LEWISTON
Architects and Builders Busy with Plans for
Public Buildings that Will Aggregate $780,.
900 to Be Built this Summer

Lewiston is a very busy center for
, builders and architects this summer.
The large buildings that are in con-
temptation in the city limits are re-
quiring all their combined skill. Some
time next month the people of the
county will be called upon to vote for i'm
provement of the court house and the
erection Of a new county Jail which will
in all amount to $4,000.
The free library commission is
stone building to be furnished by the
great philant thropist, Andrew Carnegie to
the citizens Of Lewiston. While this
may not be the largest it will prove to be
one of the neatest structures in the In
land Empire.
The building committee of the Masonic
Lodge is having almost daily meetings
to settle upon plans for the new temple
and opera house. The opera house will
be of a modern style built with large
stage and special care will be taken by
architects to make it a perfect room in
regard to lighting and acoustics. This
will cost in the neighborhood of Sc, 900.
Yesterday the supreme court building
commission met in the Office of McFar.
land and Mcfarland where it considered
seven different plans for the supreme
court building to be built that summer
on a lot donated by the city in the city
park. The plans examined showed
estimates ranging from $9, 500 to $I2,ooo.
The committee contemplate erecting q
building that will cost $4,000 without
furniture. Members present at the meet
ing yesterday were Judge E. c. Steele.
Attorney A. 5. Hardy of Grangeville,
and Attorneys James E. Babb. S. L. NC
Farland, and N. Smith of this city.
They will hold another meeting here on
the 18th of July when they will decide
on the plans.
The school board will soon act on plans
for IL room school building that will
cost $4,000 fully equipped.
1t appears that Lewiston's cup is filled
with good things and it ran over last
evening when the Lewiston Lumber COM
pany announced cut in the price in
lumber that will permit steady progress
in residence building.

NEWS FROM COURT HOUSE
Two Are Admitted to Practice in the District
COurt-The Watson Case Grows Compli.
Gated d-Steen. Craig Case Tried.

Taylor b. West aud Charles Peterson
came down from Moscow last week anc
were admitted to practice before the dis
trict court by Judge Steele. They took
the examination some days ago at Mos
COW. Mr.. Peterson will practice with
County Attorney Stillenger of Latah
county succeeding Attorney Wolfe.
Last Thursday lanes Watson was ar
rested on complaint of Mrs. Ned Bartlett
charged with stealing horse. Watson
is now in jail awaiting trial. His defense
will be that he pu 'chased the horse OF
Jesse Little and a warrant issued Friday
for Little. The warrant was served
Saturday by Deputy Foresman and Little
was brought to town Sunday morning.
He went before Judge Reese and gave
bond in the sum Of $500. Little is boy
of II and his parents are we'll known
people residing on Cottonwood creek.
Though under arrest it is not likely there
any serious charge will be sustained
against the boy who bears an excelle Mt
reputation.
James Watson and Jesse Little. arrested
last week for stealing horse from Mrs
Ned Bartlett, had preliminary trial
today before Judge Reese and both were
discharged. They had no attorney but
stated their case to the court and we're
cleared on the statement. 1t appears
that Little took up the horse as an estray
and that Watson purchased him by pay.

good faith and Judge Reese decides that
they are without criminal intent in the
matter.

County Superintendent Makes Extended TriI

County Superintendent Makes Extended Trip.
Miss Bernice Mccoy, county superin
tendent of public instruction. has return
ed from an extended visit to the country
schools. She visited lilo. Nezperce and
Winchester. The roads were in excellent
condition and she made good time. At
lilo and Winchester questions of division
of districts are pending and this trip was
made for the purpose of personal investi-
CATION. The Superintendent states that
she will not favor division when it is
possible to avoid it as these proceedings
reduce the money in district treasurers,
and prevent the district from having
even the required number of months of
school. She favors consolidation along
the lines of the bill to that effect intro
duced in the legislature last winter.
Miss Mary l.. Scott. state superintendent,
also favored that step. but illness pre-
vented her going before the house of
representatives when the bill was up for
consideration and the proposition was
defeated
