Lewiston. --Arrangements will soon
be completed for the Indian tubercular
camp which will be established on the
Nez Perez Indian reservation TO check
the ravages of consumption. The In
dian tribes are being so rapidly deci-
mated by the white plague that the
department has decided to establish
isolation camps where the sick Indians
may be treated and studied by the gov
eminent physicians
Indian Agent Lipps was directed sew
eral weeks ago to select a site for q |
camp and the government has now
urged him to use diligence in prepar-
ing the camp. 1t will be located in a |
beautiful natural grove near the school |
at Fort Lapwai The underbrush will |
be removed and the blue grass will be |
allowed to grow, while the tract will |
be drained and placed in the best SAM |
tary condition.
Lewiston The Lewiston district is
| fast coming to the front as a dairying
country This is shown by the fact
that up to 1905 Lewiston obtained its
supply of butter largely from Spo-
kane, while now, one local creamery
not only takes care of the local de-
mand, but ships three-fourths of its
product into Spokane and Seattle. The
| plant of this company is now manu-
featuring from As 900 to $4,000 pounds
of butter a month. A conservative
estimate places the number of cows
providing the cream at $500.
In 1907 the plant turned out 100000
pounds of butter, this being practically
double the output of 1906 This year
the output will exceed $4,000 pounds.
The cream for its manufacture comes
from all points in the Clearwater val
ley, from the Palouse section as far
north as Moscow, from Asotin county
in Washington. and from the Para
disc valley, in Eastern Oregon.

Lewiston.--Plans are almost COM
pleted for the annual cattle roundup,
& which will begin in a few days, and
as several thousand cattle will be
driven in from the Snake river ranges,
several large stockmen will partici-
pate. This year the roundup will be
made near Forest, and the herds are
;, being gradually driven in from the re-
n mote hills.
/ The roundup requires many days of
n preparation as the stock wanders a
: long distance in search of tender
+ grass. and the cowboys ride the hills
e early and late assembling the herds.
5 Large corrals have been built, and
c bands of cattle are driven into the
e pens. where the young ones are caught
Z and branded and the fat cattle held
s for market.
c 1t is impossible at this time to esti-
= mate the number of head to be
brought in by the roundup. but indi-
cations point 10 a large number, as
the mild winter favored grazing stock
. on winter ranges, so that the loss was
smaller than usual. The ranges are
becoming smaller as the country be-
, comes settled. and it is a question OF
Z only a short time when the roundup
will be hardly worthy Of the name.
