Two Large Lewiston Firms Combine with
Capital Stock of $2SO.OOO to Establish a
Department Store-WiIl Erect at Once a
New Building.

Department Nore-WiIl Erect at Once a
| New Building.
i Lewiston is to have a modern depart
ment store, rival to any in the the large
cities of the northwest. 1t will be con-
Quoted by the Kjos- Beach company, a
new corporation just formed by the con-
solidation of the two large and we'll
known mercantile houses of o. A. Kjos
and R c. Beach Of this city.
The deal has been pending several
days but it was not until Wednesday that
the principals authorized any statement
and yesterday morning articles of in
corporation were filed at the court honse
The new company is incorporated as the
| Kjos- Beach Co. Ltd. The capital stock
is $3.50, 900 fully subscribed aud is divided
into $500 shares at 500 each.
| The object of the corporation is to COM
| bine the capital and energies of these
| two large business houses and engage in
the mercantile business here in on
larger scale, giving to Lewiston and sur.
| rounding country the benefits of a
modern department store. A $4,000
building will be at once erected on the
corner of Fifth and Main streets, the
property owned by Mr.. K JOS will be used
for the building. 1t will be of brick and
structure with frontage OF Main street
of 81 feet and on Fifth street of I25 feet.
1t will have floor area of $4,000 square
feet and the entire building will be used
to conduct the business of the company
1t will have every modern equipment,
freight and passenger elevators, waiting
rooms, writing rooms, package and cash
carrier systems and every device to fa-
cilitate business. Plans for the structure
are already under advisement and actual
construction will begin as soon as plans
and specifications are accepted and bids
can be called.
The principal movers in this incorpora-
tion, Messrs. o. A. Kjos and R. c. Beach,
have been engaged separately in the
mercantile business in Lewiston now for
period of ten years. They have built
up successful business institutions and
have attracted trade from a wide range
of country tributary to Lewiston. With
combined energies and practically un-
limited capital they will undoubtedly
build up large mercantile establishment
drawing purchasers from a wider area,
and increasing the prestige of Lewiston
as a commercial center.
AS the articles of incorporation show
the new company is a strong one. 1t
combines the skill, experience and re-
sources of the principal movers with the
sound and conservative financial support
of their associates. The officers are: o.
A. Kjos, president; r. c. Beach, vice
president; J. f. Kincaid, secretary and
treasurer; Board of Directors: o. A. Kjos,
r. c. Beach, F. w. Kettenbach, w. F.
Ketteubach, ]. B. Morris.
Until the construction of the new
building and the merging of the separate
stocks the stores will be conducted as at
present, independently.

LEWISTON.GRANGEVlLLE
ELECTRIC RAILROAD

Noi. opOHOFo OF Dose anu Engineer wattef U'
Hill are Preparing the Way for Electric Road
Between Lewiston and GranssvilIe - The
Road Will Cost About $i.SOO.O00
The Lewiston Grangeville electric road
will be factor in the commercial de-
velopment of the country before another
autumn comes. Col Spofford, a pro-
moter at Boise, is working on the project
and expects to bring it to completion
early next year. The line will follow
the old railroad survey made years ago
except that the route will be on an air
line into Lewiston from upper Tammany
to the Snake and thence down the Snake
river to Lewiston.
The estimated cost of the road Is
$500 900. The road is to be laid with
60 pound rails or heavier, and electric
motors will haul freight cars from the
railroads here at Lewiston to Grangeville
without unloading as the road will be
standard gage. Grangevilte alone re-
ceives 10000 tons of freight per year at
an average cost of $I2 per ton from Pot
latch junction. The electric road can
handle this freight at IS per ton and
make money. The amount of grain,
lumber and other farm products will
make up a large tonnage for the pro-
spective road.
The promoters have raised $2,5oo in
Grangeville and last night and tonight will
hold meetings in Denver and Cottonwood
for the purpose ofinteresting people in the
project. Tomorrow they will canvass
the Craig mountain country and next
week work in Lewiston. The money is
not asked as donation but is taken as
payment for stock in the company when
it is formed.

WATER LEVERAGE
AS A MOTOR POWER
A New Plan for Using the Current for De-
veIopins Power for Irrigation Purposes
Il Solves the Problem of Raising Water
at Small Cost.

Il Solves the Problem of Raising Water
at Small Cost.
w. ]. Jordan of the Northern Pacific
is exhibiting today a model of a new ma
chine designed Tor using the current of
running streams to generate power for
raising water for irrigation purposes
The machine was designed by mechanic
living in the Colville country but the
patent is held by Division Supt. A..
Beamer of the Northern Pacific and the
owners of the patent have the plant now
operating successfully irrigating a 100
acre tract in the Yakima valley.
The main idea of the new machine is
the principle employed is operating the
current ferries. A movable blade is at
tached to a lever, which, rigged to the
pumping apparatus, lies at right angles
in the stream. The current strikes the
blade and carries the long arm of the
lever down stream to the full length of
the stroke where a rudder attachment
trips the blade and the current drives the
blade and lever to the other end Of the
stroke. The plan is simple and the ma
chimes can be erected at small cost
There is no limit to the power generated
except the length of the lever and the
swiftness and volume of the current.
The one in operation by Supt. Beamer
and associates in the Yakima valley has
a lever 27 feet long with feet on the
shorter arm. The blade is 6x4 feet and
stream of water one foot is raised sc feet
high by the two pumps rigged to the
power on walking beam, and the com
pany irrigates 100 acres of land at very
very small cost. The machine was
patented last season. Tie endorsement
of all mechanics is that it will prove the
solution of the problem of irrigating
lands contiguous to our mountain streams
effectually at small cost.

win Build Church in Thompson Addition

Mrs. Sarah Thompson donated four
lots to the First Presbyterian church of
Lewiston Wednesday. The lots are To-
Gated at the corner of Eighteenth street
and Eleventh avenue and occupy a
splendid view of the entire city. She
has announced that as soon as the popula-
ton Of that portion of the city warrants
the expenditure, large church edifice
will be built by the donor on the
property.
1t has been life long desire with Mrs.
Thompson to have church built on her
property and this is her first step in that
direction. "When the temple of God is
builded on my premises" says this large
hearted philanthropist. "I can leave this
world in peace"
