A long time ago, when the Palouse-

Still the Russians have no right to

that they will not even go that far

SPLENDID PARADE.
Ringing Brothers Superb Street Dis

The circus parade has at last, thanks
to Ringing Brothers, reached the dig
nifty of good taste, instructive feature,
and discriminating approval. This
street display, peculiar to all circuses.
until Ringing Brothers came into the
field with fresh ideas, was a rather

Res Hiding OF Cornell Branch by O. r.

The people of Franklin and Adams

In years gone by the O. r. & N. had
a branch line extending through Kah-

on the Northern Pacific. For reasons
which appeared sufficient to the rail-
way management part of this line was
taken up.
"A few days ago the report came that
the railway had commenced the recon-

points mentioned. Now news from

take water from the Palouse river to
store in an immense reservoir which
can be constructed in the lower end of
the coulee extending from the Palouse
river to Cornell.
This project has been examined by
the government engineers and pro-
nounced feasible and parties are now
working on the plans. The proposed
reservoir lies in the cOulee between
Cornell and Kahlotus and it is though
this coulee that the O. r. & n. has its
