Since the privilege Of selling liquor in
the Capitol for which no license was
paid, was taken away by the Fifty-sev-
enth Congress. the proprietors have de-
clared that there is no money In the

Walla removed and a new one inter-
posed with Nezperce and it is an op-
en- question whether or not the situa-

There is a decided opinion pre-
valent that Lewiston can well afford
to stand out against both Spokane
and Walla Walla on the question Of
dates. Lewiston has been success
full attraction and has no territorial
conflict with either Of the other
places. The managers of the
Northwest racing circuit saw fit to
cut out Lewiston dates this year,
but they can not control the horse

the treatment they received at

strong enough to proceed in

playing directly into the hands of

An exchange gives its people tn

An exchange gives its people the
following bit of advice-which is
good solid wisdom for citizens of
every town: ssIf you are not now
standing up for your home town,
form the habit. Look around you
at the home industries and home
dealers before going away from
home for single article. By this
practice your town will be made to
prosper and you will make a better
citizen for the town. We must have
homo pride to cope with our neigh
hQrs, and without a local pride
which encourages ana supports home
enterprise they must of necessity
fail. Show an interest in your
home town to the greatest extent
possible and the result will be a
continued growth and prosperity"
