watery grave. John Manley, printer.
and, Duncan. ~ Monroe. prominent
merchant, We're standing on First
street bridge. watching the big log
jam. They were hurled into the river
suddenly by the section of the bridge

avoided the flying timbers and were
uninjured. Half an hour afterward
they were rescued by ''Klondike Joe"
who risked his own life in his little
boat and brought both men safely
ashore. This makes four lives Snively

LEWISTON, May 23.-Parties from
down the river report that the rising
waters of the Snake river are wash
ing out the grading of the lewiston
Riparia line this side of Almota. The
conditions. however, are not serious
as the damage occurs only in places
and to an extent that will only re-
quire short time to repair after the
water recedes.
Gray & Chapman, the railroad con-
tractors, have commenced operations
with the steam shovel just below Ri
paria on the Pasco line of the North
ern Pacific. The Inauguration of work
on the Riparia end of this line is sig
nificant and again gives rise to pre-
vious rumors that the Northern Pa
cific owns the lewiston Riparia line
which was supposed at one time to be
purely an o. r. & N line and later a
joint road of the o. r. & n. and
Northern Pacific.

duced the personal column of the roll

last year when this property was tax

class of people who are better able
to pay than any other of our citizens.
They are not to blame for the nom
