STORES ARE BUSY.
Christmas Day 10 Drawing Near and
Trade Conditions Are Active.

The Christmas day is fast drawing
near and all the business houses Of the
city have anticipated the rush for
Christmas gifts and as result some of
the finest displays of novelties ever
brought to the city may be seen. The
past week has been a busy one for tke
stores but the greater rush of the shop
pers will begin during the coming week.
The coming of Christmas has always
been a joy TO the hearts of the little
ones and the show windows Of the
many stores of the city are resplendent
with toys and other beautiful goods
which all go to gladden. the hearts OF
the young. The prospects for mild
Christmas day seem TO be assuring.
Lewiston is noted for its mild winter
climate and as yet there has been no
direct indication that the ground IN the
valley will be covered with n white
mantle. The snow on the distant hills
ana mountain tops are perhaps the
only indication that winter has come
and that the Xmas day is drawing near

UNIVERSITY v|'E|::|R|S
IMPROVEMENTS
Legislature Will be Asked to A.
prepriate Money for New
Buildings

MOSCOW, Idaho, Dec. 17.-Three
members of the board of regents OF the
University of Idaho met here today and
decided to ask the Legislature for ap-
propriatiuns for two new buildings, one
for metallurgical laboratory and an
other for an agricultural experiment
station. The estimated cost of the first
building rs $4,000 and of the latter
$4,000. The board will also ask for an
increase IN appropriation for mafnte-
nance over last year of about $4,000.
The regents present were Mrs w.
II. Ridenbaugh OF Boise vice president
of the board; George c. Parkinson of
Preston. secretary, and James McCar-
thy of Wallace. Regents C. L. Heit-
man and f. S. Sweet were ill and could
not attend.
One of the chief objects OF the meet
ing was to inspect progress of work on
the new armory and gymnasium build
ing. 1t is expected this building will be
complete in about a month. Regents
Heitman and Mccarthy were appoint
ed committee to finally pass upon the
building at its completion.
The report of the president of the
board was read and approved.

new ELECTRIC
LINE PROJECT
Spokane Capitalists Now Promot-
ling Projeet-Lewiston
e Objective Point

The announcement during the past
tive to the proposed electric line pro-
ject extending from Spokane through
the Palouse country and to the Snake
river is creating considerable comment.
The promoters of the project are sue
cessful business men and are SUM-
ciently able, financially to carry out the
project. 1t is understood that agents
are now out gathering statistics and
making surveys and securing right of
ways preliminary to making the final
arrangements for the launching Of the
project. No definite route for the new
line has as yet been announced but it
is understood that the surveys will be
made through the most productive area
in the Palouse country. That which is
of most interest to the people of Lew
iston valley is the arrangements to
bring the line to the Snake river and
1t is safe to assume that Lewiston is
the objective point The question Of
nnding light grade into the valley
proper is one OF no small magnitude
and there is little question but what
the parties in interest will investigate
the conditions thoroughly before def
fhtely deciding what route to take 1t
has been suggested that the only feasa-
bic route to the Lewiston valley from
the Uniontown fiat would be to run q
line to the Hatwai creek country main
tanning an easy grade the full distance
to the Clearwater river. AS yet moth
ing has appeared on the surface that
the promoters of the project have had
agents in this field but IT is confidently
expected that their appearance will be
manifest at an early date.

Two towers, each $50 feet high will
grace the structure. In these towers
Will be placed a set of musical chimes
and it is now the plan of the electrical
experts to have President Roosevelt
press a few buttons in Washington on
the opening day which viii set these
chimes playing America" The main
portion OF the structure is fianked on
either side by swinging peristyles
which connect with the territorial
building on one side and the fisheries
building on the other A commodious
structure to hold the government, fos-
estry exhibit will be erected to the
right of the main building, while a
model life saving station to house a
crack crew. which will give exhibition
drills during the fair, will be located
on the shore OF the lake. IS
The government building will be sur
rounded with beautiful flower gardens
and a sunken garden with an artificial
lagoon in it's center win grace the space
in front of, the structure The broad
avenue which runs along the lake
front is called Roosevelt Avenue" the
only street at the. exposition named
after a living American.
1t is the intention of the government
board to make the exhibits exceed in
interest and variety those shown at ST.
Louis. There Will be fully as much
fioor space occupied at Portland by
Uncle Sans exhibits as there was at
st Louise.
The Philippine display will be an in
teresting feature the same as it was at
the worlds fair. A comprehensive
showing will be made of the industries.
history. modes of living etc, OF the
island peoples. In the federal exhibit
will be shown a display of woods. fib-
ers. tobacco and other products OF the
archipelago. Villages including not less
than $50 natives OF the visayan. Iggo-
rotte, Negr- toe and other characteristic
tribes will add touch of the pictur-
esque. One hundred Filipino scouts
viii be desailed for duty at the exposi-
ttion and will give daily military drills.

UNITED STATES EXHIBIT
At LEWIS & CLARK FAIR
Unique Setting for Government Building Which
is Now in Course of Construction n
at Portland 81

PORTLAND. Dec. 1S.-Uncle Sam js
now preparing an extensive display fSr
the Lewis & Clark exposition whidh
will be held at Portland. Oregon. next
year, opening June 4, and closing Oc-
tober 15. Conatruction work on the
government buildings is we'll under
way and the government board Is now
arranging for the transfer of the cream
of the st. Louis exhibit to Portland.
The United States. government has
appropriated $475,000 for its partici-
patton at the western worlds fair and
as the exhibit already on hand, which
will be largely supplemented. is worth
more than $500. 900 its section is equiv
alent to $S00,000.
The government building which rs
now in course of construction stands on
a. peninsula in the center Of :. 0uild's
lake. a fresh water body go acres In
extent which is the natural ''Grana
sula is reach<d from the mainland 6y
an ornate bridge, called the Bridge of
Nations" This setting for an exposi-
ton structure is entirely new and the
view OF be had from the peninsula sur
passes anything OF its kind in exposi-
ton history. The building faces the
mainland where the principal exhibi-
tion palaces are located on the terraced
hillside leading down to the shore of
the lake. The foothills covered with
tall fir trees make an admirable back
ground for the towers, spires and min
arets of the white palaces. An excel
lent view may he had of the grand
stairway which leads from Columbia
court. the main plaza of the exposition
to the lake front. and the beautiful
Hover gardens which flank it. In the
distance, no matter which way one may
look, one can gaze on the pictorial sub
limeness of the snow capped peaksasY,
the Cascade range, with Mt. Hood and
Mt st. Helens most prominent.
The main government structure is an
Imposing edifice. characteristic of all
OF Uncle Sam's exposition buildings.

Lake Superior is one of the coldest
bodies of water known. For consid-
erable distance out from it's edge 1t is
covered a good part of the winter with
fairly thick ice. Ice has been seen on
the lake as late az July I. and 1t is
calculated that there are formed upon
its surface something like 100000
600 tons of clear, pure ice every winter.
or enough to supply every inhabitant
OF the United States with 200 tons. Yet
most of us have to pay 40 cents per
hundred pounds for pretty shaky-
looking manufactured article called ice.
