But Atwater did go to sleep on the

Atwater told him of his snooze, and
as there was no train down for an hour

the two men went home together
Douglas lived with his mother, who
was away at the time, and there was
no one with him except the servants
The two men dined together, and after
dinner Atwater kept putting off his
departure from train to train till at

Atwater forbore to press him further

OFFICE
NEEDED HERE
Present Postoffice |
Inadequate for
Lewiston

Lewiston needs a new postoffice
and needs it badly" said Inspector
Fulinwider this morning. when the
present one was located four years ago
it seemed ample for term Of ten
years. but the needs of the town have
grown far beyond 1t already.
II am here for the purpose Of meet
ing several Of your citizens who have
propositions to submit for the loca-
ton Of the postoffice. With the pre-
sent outlook for the town do not feel
justified in accepting a site with less
than $500 square feet OF floor space
and the location should be chosen with
the idea OF what changes are probable
in the shifting Of the business center
OF the city in the next ten years. Lew
iston Is growing rapidly and its future
should have careful consideration at
the hands Of the department.
I'VE are handicapped somewhat by
the limited amount Of funds at our dis
posal and find that property and rent
ais are 30 high In Lewiston that 1t IL
difficult to get proper location within
the limits OF what the department IL
willing to pay.
There Is one thing that should bt
taken into consideration In connec-
tion with the location Of the postoffice
and that 1t that It creates a business
center and all property in the vicinity
IL enhanced In value. With this idea
in view property holders can afford "a
furnish quarters for the postoffice al
a less figure than they can for other
forms OF business that do not carry
with them such results as will follow
the moving OF the postoffice from ont
part CT the city to another. hope 4
be able to announce something definite
In the next few days afser have look.
ed over the rro-ositions that your
citizens have to offer."
