BOAT SERVICE STOPS ON SNAKE
River is Within Three Inches Of
Lowest Mark Recorded Last
Year.

LEWISTON, Aug. 1.-THE steamer
Spokane will not return to the city
today from Riparia but will be re-
tanned on the lower river to serve the
fruit orchards. Daily trips will be
made for the purpose Of carrying fruit
orchards on the river as far up as AL
mota and to points as far above there
if the stage of water will permit. The
water has been falling rapidly within
the past week and is now within about
three inches of the lowest stage
reached last year, when the boats
were tied up. The Spokane on her up
river trip Tuesday experienced much
difficulty in crossing a number of the
shallow bars and was compelled to
use the line in one or two places. The
trips to the upper river could be easily
maintained, it is said, by carrying
light cargo, the trouble Tuesday being
due to the 80 tons of freight aboard
the boat. 1t was decided, however,
that owing to the services of the Lew
iston being required to carry supplies
to the railroad camps of the Riparia
line the heavy freight traffic from Ri
paria to Lewiston could not be prop
erly handled by the one boat and he
best and most profitable services of
the boat could be had by operating
on the lower river till such time as
the stage of water will permit of car
rying heavier cargOes.

Richest Strike IN History Of
Northwest Is Made.
ROCK ASSAYS $500 TO THE TON
HUNDRED POUR
INTO THE IDAHO
TOWN..

GRANGEVILLE,A Aug. 11.-Word has
reached the city that the greatest
palmy Gays of Florence, Pierce and
Newcome, occurred in an old aban-
doned tunnel half mile from Flor
ence last Sunday, and faxed gold in
decomposed ore, rivalling the richest
placer fields ever worked ION by a
rocker fell from it's walls upon the
touch of a pick.
Every man in the Florence camp
was requistioned and 100000 worth of
ore has been sacked since Sunday
Assays on ten pounds showed values
of $780, while 10 more went over 49,
Upon this basis the ore is worth $500
per ton, free milling.
The ledge uncovered is four feet
wide and shows no signs of diminish
ing for long distance, thus dissipat-
ing the idea of a pocket.
The wonderful discovery reads like
a romance. James Mosher and his
partner were prospecting in the tun-
mel and were removing the rock in the
farthest end with a car. At point
near the opening the track was un-
even and a sudden lurch sent the car
against the wall of the tunnel. In
stantly a great mass of the decOm-
posed ore fell around the car The
prosoectors took their load to the
DUMP and returned to the fallen mass
to remove it from the track. The
CLEAN Of golden flakes caught their
eyes, and they soon commenced pick
ing the rotten ore from the ledge. All
of it contained gold There were
flakes as large as ten-penny nail
head. They told their good fortune
to a few friends and the news quick
ly spread. The residents of Florence
have become excited over the dis
covery and it is believed that when

MOVING FROM OLD THEATRE.
Tenants Compelled to Seek New Quar-.
ters-Where They Go.

Tenants in the old Walla Walla
theatre building have been COM
PEELED to seek new locations, owing to
the sale Of the property to O. o. Dem

owned by James Prather, will move

Kean's store, now occupied as offices
by City Treasurer Parks and City En-

The Bulletin will move to the Tachi

H. o. Peck as a bicycle and sporting
goods store. Mr.. Peck will move to
the Louga building on West Main, be-
tween Fourth and Fifth, formerly oc-
cupied by the French restaurant.
The Riggs plumbing shop will
probably be moved to the Hungate
building in East Main street. The
Wise Piano house has not yet definite

President Says 100000 Tons Of
Freight Will be Handled.
VISITS WALlUlA TO LOOK OVER FIELD
NEW FREIGHT DEPOT WILL BE
BUILT AT THE WALLULA
LANDING.

F. j. Smith, manager of the Open
River Transportation company, was
in Wallula, Friday, and spent an hour
or more at the Gateway office detail
ing the plans Of the association, says
the Wallula Gateway.
Active measures are being taken
by the Open River association to pro-
vide transportation facilities for NOV
ing this years enormous crop in the
Inland Empire. 1t is proposed to
take the bulk of the grain and other
produce, upward of 100000 tons, to
Portland.
The Mountain Gem has been pur-
chased by the association and is now
in operation. 1t is expected to launch
the Columbia, now building at Cello,
by September 1. 1t is also expected
to have the Yakima, now being con-
structed at Ainsworth, in operation
by September Is.
1t is proposed to add the w. r. Todd
and Norma to the fleet. The J. N.
Teal, a fine passenger steamer of $50
tons, with electric lights and all mod
ern improvements, is contracted to be
in operation on the upper river by the
latter part of the present year. The
boilers for this craft are now being
constructed in Portland.
That this line will become pop
ular is evidenced by the amount Of
traffic already secured. Balfour- Guth-
RE have contracted for the shipment
of $4,000 sacks of wheat from this
section.
