When the lady of a beautiful Lee
street home walked into her hothouse
yesterday morning she was not little
surprised at evidences that some one
had occupied it as a boudoir the night
before. A warm bed was plac cd ia the
middle of the floor, and beside it was a
lantern, still burning. The police in
vestigated the find, and the only pIaus-
ible theory was that someone, possibly
tramp, had slept there and gone away,
leaving his ''lantern trimmed and
burning"

RAID ON ILLICIT STILL
Sixteen Thousand Gallons of Brandy
Found In Hills Near Folsom.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, July 27.-The
biggest seizure of illicitly distilled
brandy made in California since 1899.
when the noted California raid was
made, has just been accomplished by
B. NJ. Thomas, internal revenue agent
in San Francisco, and Agents Frank R.

Henry Mette, of Sacramento, in the
vicinity of the Blue Ravine mine, in
the foothills. about six miles from
Folsom. Six thousand gallons of fine
brandy. worth $4,000 were seized,
and the entire distillery and plant has

CANADA TO MAKE AMMUNITION.
Dominion Will Be Able to Arm Troops
Without Depending on England.

OTTAWA, July 27.-The Dominion
government has concluded contract
with the Armstrong; to erect in Otta-
wa an ammunition factory which will
be capable of turning out 100000
rounds of ammunition a year under or
binary circumstances, and under pres
sure, working night and day. 10000
900 rounds 1t is understood that the
Armstrong; are also to erect and equip
smaller factories in Manitoba and in
British Columbia, whenever required
by the Canadian authorities.
The minister of militia also ar
ranged that the Ottawa factory shall
manufacture it's own supply Of cor
dite. At present all the cordite used
in Canada is imported from England.
If trouble arose it might be difficult
to get a supply from England when
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-07-27

it was most needed, and it is felt here
among military men to be the part of
wisdom to make cordite on the spot
The existing factory at QUEBEC has
capacity, under full pressure of "a
100000 rounds a year, which, added to
the output of the Ottawa factory, will
give a total of $4,000, 900 rounds year,
as compared with 100000 in 1896 1t
will be seen from this that Canada is
not so entirely forgetful Of the neces-
sity of preparing for Warlike eventual
tiles as some people suppose. though
undoubtedly much yet requires to be
done before it can be felt that the Do
minion is in anything like proper
shape to defend herself against foreign
nvasion-if such a thing should ever
happen.

of Mayor Williams in extending the

to the police that all gambling houses

Il personally apply to the social

In further explaining Mr.. Smith told
of books for the blind that have been

lasting happiness that had resulted
from the little kindness He proceeded
to say:
These books sent postage free for
the blind are the bulkiest literature
handled by any library, each volume
being broader and longer than Web
sters dictionary, and about three and
even five of these volumes being re-
uuired to tell the story told in the

| extending along the brow of the hill
from the Fifth street grade to a point
opposite Snake river avenue will be
approximately fifty feet wide. Extend
ing from the Thatcher residence to
Seventh avenue right of ways have
been granted making the boulevard
fifty feet wide along the brow. Prom
Seventh avenue south and past Uni
versity addition it will be eighty feet
wide. No steps have been taken as yet
towards securing the right of ways for
the boulevard east of Fifth street but
this will be a matter that will be taken
up at some future time when it is pro-
posed to connect the boulevard with a
bridge across Fifth street grade on the
north. there the boulevard will be ex-
tended around the city to a point con-
Meeting with the southerly end near
the University addition making a COM
plete circle of the city. This will give
to Lewiston one of the handsomest
driveways in the west.
The part which has been taken up
veyed by the engineer and profiles and
maps have been made and as soon as
every detail has been completed with
reference to rights of way grading will
be commenced and improvements will
be gradually continued until the boule-
ward in the western end of the city is
completed. One excellent feature of
the improvements to be made with re-
spect to the boulevard is the sidewalk
to be constructed the full length of the
boulevard. This walk will be placed
at the west end of the street and along
the brow of the hill. A railing will be
built on the outer edge Of the hill so
that accidents will be eliminated as
much as possible. This will make be-
sides the driveway promenade of
about two miles.
No city in the United States Of any
Importance has spared expense to inn
prove it's streets and boulevards and
this line of improvement is considered
one Of the most profitable in many re-
spects. The benefits to be derived from
the property adjoining the boulevard
and within few blocks are many and
the value is materially enhanced. 1t
is to be hoped that il there are any
rights of way which have not as yet
been given for this boulevard that it
will be forthcoming soon SO that the
city may begin the work of grading
