Oliver Wendell Homes once entered
the private Office Of NIr. James T.
Fields, the publisher, on an errand. He
had a book done up in paper under his
arm. AS he was going out he suddenly
turned and said:
Il have here Il most wonderful book.
1t is worth in money value any other
book in Boston. In fact. it is worth a
whole library. If it could be properly
edited and illustrated. as | you'd do
it, it would be worth the whole public
library put together"
Nodding authoritatively, he shut the
door, leaving those in the Office looking
at n another. too bcwildered for con-
lecture. Presently the door opened
again quietly, and Or. Holmes put in
his head, his face bIbbling over with
amusement, and said:
"Oh, I forgot to tell you what book
this is. 1t is Nat Thayer's checkbook."
Then he shut the door. Mr.. ,Thayer
was understood at that time to be the
richest man in Boston.

Lewiston City Briefs

The city of Lewiston will put in $780,
600 worth of public improvements in the
sewer system and the extension of the
water system, this summer.
The city council has decided to fix the
same irrigation rates as were established
for last season, with discount of I21z
per cent for advance payment for the
season.
The council has decided to extend the
street gravel improvements ON Main
street from the court house east to the
city limits.
The city is to be divided into four dis
tricts for sprinkling purposes, two in the
lower town and two on the hill. A move
is being made to assess the property
owners by the froat foot for the sprink.
ling this season.
An ordinance has been passed defining
the ward boundaries in the new city
limits. A line drawn due south in the
center of Fifth street and Thirteenth
street divides the territory south Of the
Clearwater and the territory Forth of the
Clearwater is included in the boundaries
of the second ward.

IRRIGATION BY a Current Wheel

An interesting experiment is under way
at the old O'Keefe & Jurgen orchard on
the Idaho side of Snake river, few miles
below Asotin. The place is very dry and
when first planted to trees an attenlp,
was made to irrigate with stream pulso-
meter, but the plan was too expensive
Recently the bar was purchased by J.
Chapman, new arrival from Iowa, who
is putting in current wheel pump. Al
the southern end of the orchard bar there
is rapid in the river, the current setting
in directly to shore. At this point Mr..
Chapman is extending a wide track
down into the water, Upon this track
will be placed scow At the outer end
of The scow will be hung strong water
wheel. connected with a, heavy piston
pump. 1t is expected that the current
will turn this wheel with sufficient speed
to run the pump at its full capacity.
These current wheel pumps have been
tried a number of places on Snake river
but not usually with success. In this
case it is believed the scheme will be
successful, owing to the existence of the
rapids at the head of the bar, and the set
OF the current In TO shore.

1t is practically settled that the new
high school building will be located on
the Weisgerber tract north and west OF
the ball park on the hill. The exact
block is yet matter of speculation, but
that locality is practically agreed upon.
The new building is to be two story
brick with twelve rooms, modern high
school building to cost from $4,000 to
10000. The present brick building is to
be ward school and another like it will
be erected somewhere in the east end of

The last of the shipment of trees for the
cemetery arrived this week from Roches-

384 trees, mostly maple and birch, for
planting this spring. The plans for inn.
provement of the cemetery are quite ex-
tensive. What the city has set aside for
that purpose will be supplemented by
500 from each of the lodges having a
burial place there. The Odd Fellows and
Knights of Pythias have already made
their. donations and the Masons are
expected to at their next meeting. When
the new water system is put in an eight
inch pipe will be laid along the east line
of the cemetery and the question of water
for permanent improvements will nc
longer be problem.

of other trains that were wintering on
the Middle Fork. Diamond Young lost
his entire train of 80 head and l.. A.
Wayland lost as many more. Stone
breakers horses had wandered away
from the Hibbs ranch several miles and
were in pocket in the hills cut off from

days to dig trail into the mountain for
the horses to come into the bare ground
where feed is now plentiful.
