CITY EXAMINES
BANK EXEMPTION

The city council is in session this
afternoon as a board of equalization
to hear the case of the First National
bank relative to the indebtedness Of
the stockholders, which is eligible for
exemption from taxation.
The interests of the city are repre-
sented before the board by City At
torney Cox, while ]. p. Vollmer ana A.
E. Clarke appeared for the bank.
Mr.. Vollmer was the first witness
called and after taking the oath and
hearing the dictation of City Attorney
Cox for the heading Of the stenograph-
ers' notes, asked for what purpose the
meeting was being held.
do understand that the claims
that have been submitted as indebted
ness are questioned?' asked Mr.. Voll-
mer.
"They are" said city Attorney Cox.
"The law requires that certain indebt-
edness is exempt from taxation and It
is the purpose of this board to ascer-
tain what indebtedness claimed by the
bank directors is exempt from the city
taxation"
When questioned by Mr.. Cox, Mr.
vollmer stated his Indebtedness Of
$23,500 consisted of one-haf of a
$4,000 note upon which $1,000 had
been paid and which was given to the
First National bank by the firm OF
vollmer & Scott, the money from this
note being used in the construction Of
the Vollmer & Scott building on Main
street. 'tfF
A personal note of $4,000 was given
by Mr.. Vollmer to the bank on Decem-
Der 26, 1905, but to what use this
money was placed the witness was un-
able to state.
A note of $4,000 was given to the
First Bank of Genesee by Vollmer &
Co., but the records do not show to
what use this amount was placed.
Mr.. vollmer was on the stand until
8 o'clock and was followed by A. E.
Clark, cashier of the First National
bank.
The case OF the Lewiston National
bank will be before the board at s
o'clock this evening.

FIRE
WITH KEROSENE

PORTLAND, Ore, July 31,-Mrs.
Thomas Ryan was fatally burned and
her three year old boy was burned to
death late yesterday in a fire that de-
stroyed the family home few miles
south of this city.
Mrs. Ryan, in lighting the fire in the
kitchen stove, made use Of kerosene.
Live Goals which remained in the stove
caused an explosion which threw the
tgalning oil over the woman, and set
the house on fire. Mrs. Ryan ran from
the house, a mass of flames, and neigh
bors who heard the explosion rolled
her in blankets and poured water upon
her. She had suffered terrible injuries
and when brought to hospital in this
city, it was said she could not recover.
How the little boy caught fire is not
known After the fire had been extin-
guished, his charred remains were
found. Mrs. Ryan's youngest child. a
babe of a few months, was rescued by
the heroic action of 11-year-old Rich
ard Conley, the son of neighbor, who
made his way into the house while it
was in flames and took the child from
it's cradle.

QUOTE WOOD
AT $40 A CORD
Prediction That the Price
will Reach That Figure
In 90 Days

Lewiston fuel dealers predict wood
will be sold in the city for $40 per
cord within the next 80 days. The best
coal is now selling from $3.50 to $40
per ton with the probability of an ad-
vance in price each month until the
first of the year.
The fuel dealers have been can
vassing the country in all directions
from Lewiston for the past several
weeks and find the wood supply less
than in former years and the owners
holding for prices from 81 to 81 higher
than last year Dealers have offered
as high as $5.25 per cord for the best
quality of wood and have had this
price rejected and 1t is upon this
basis that the prediction is made that
wood will be sold at retail for $40 per
cord.
Nut coal is being marketed at $3.50
per ton, but 1t is expected this grade
will advance within the next 80 days.
Dealers report a shortage of output
at all mines and SONG of the points
from which coal has been secured for
Inland Empire points are now deliv-
ering their entire output to the rail-
road companies.
The Lewiston cos' will come chiefly
from Wyoming ano Montana points
and with the heavy demand for cars
during the fall and winter Lewiston
consumers are advised to fill their
eaIIara os CARLY in tho soaa son aS n0S-
sible.
The scarcity of coal Is evidenced by
the fact that the Owl train was un-
able to depart from the Lewiston sta
tion until o'clock this morning be-
cause there was not sufficient coal in
the Lewiston yards to fill the tender
The necessary coal was taken from a
freight train that reached the city
about / o'clock this morning.

SEWER WORK
ON BIG MAIN
Larger Force Will Now Be
Installed to Rush
Work

Workmen are now engaged in clear
Ing the opening at the END Of the ce-
ment sewer main on B street prepara-
tory to the resumption of construction
work at that point next Monday.
The 36-inch cement sewer main was
constructed last winter to a point on
B street near Second street and the
opening was covered with a heavy
plank platform. The rains during the
winter and spring caused the earth to
fall away from the timbers holding the
platform with the result that one of
the Lewiston dray teams fell into the
excavation, carrying the timbers and
much earth with II.
The men are now engaged in remov-
ing the earth and timbers covering the
end OF the cement sewer main and the
stakes for the extension of the work
are being set by City Engineer Gull
land.
With the opening of the sewer work
in the western section Of the city a
larger force will be employed by Con-
tractor Clark and all of the sewer con-
struction will be completed in time
for the street paving to be commenced
in the business district by early win
ter.
