PERCE PRAIRIE TO HAVE
GRAVES EXTEND LEWISTON
AND SOUTHEASTERN.

THE people of the Nezperce
prairie are enthused with the COM
ing of j. P. Graves and the electric
line into that section," said Attor-
ney P. w. Mitchell, who is a busi-
ness visitor in the city today from
Nezperce.
1--WE regard Mr.. Graves as the one
man who can bring the electric line
to the Nezperce prairie at this time,
and there is no one the people would
welcome more than he. We regard
the announcement that he will build
the road as an assurance that the
prairie is soon to receive the relief
sought, but the people of our par
ticular section are anxious to know
just when we can get transportation
"Mr. Graves will receive the undi-
vided support of the prairie country,
We will assist in securing rights-of-
way, terminals and in any other
manner desired.
''The town of Nezperce will be
able to furnish tonnage to the
amount of 1900 carloads the first
year the road reaches there and after
the second year this tonnage will be
doubled. The country directly trib-
utary to the town is 10 miles
square and IS per cent of this area
is devoted to the growing of crops.
ut is estimated the grain ship
ments will reach 1000 cars, and that
other products, with livestock, will
make 500 more. AS soon as the
railroad is available for shipping
purposes large quantities of timothy
hay will be grown, which will mate
rally increase the carload ship
ments.
"The valuation of farms would be
increased from $1,000 to $4,000 each.
and with the better prices for the
products the farmers would make
material Improvements in their
homes, which all tends to increase
business for the railroad"

CANNERY PLANT IN PROSPECT
Messrs. Weinrich G Crepo Complet-
ing Necessary Arrangements.

August Weinrich and William
Crepo, two young capitalists from
burlington, Ia, after careful inves-
tigation of industrial conditions in
the Lewiston country, have decided
to put in a cannery in the Lewiston
valley, and have gone before the
members of the Commercial club
with their proposition to see what
can be done in the way of securing
the interests of that organization in
acquiring a site.
Mr.. Crepo is now in New York.
He went East several weeks ago and
attended the national convention of
Gamers in Cincinnati, Ohio, where
he viewed ali modern improvements
in plants and machinery and made
a selection of what, in his opinion,
was wanted in the way of equip
ment. The firm will expend some
thing like $4,000 in furnishing a
plant which they will locate In this
vicinity, probably in Lewiston, un-
less conditions warrant other ar
rangements.

The INSTRUMENTATION promo

the Lewiston Commercial club, is
now receiving a large number of
letters as a result of the promotion
work conducted last year. During
the past few weeks a number of let
ters from parties with whom the bu-

been received, the writer's indicating
an intention of coming into the
Lewiston country, and in most cases
representing considerable sums of
money.
The following letter from w.

many now on file in the secretary's
office. An examination of the Office
records show that on May 27, 1907,
the bureau received a brief inquiry
from Mr.. Cook by postal card. The
inquiry was answered on June IL by
the follow-up system In use by the

two more letters followed, on Sep

"The logging season has been

spring run, and am through for the

Mr.. Feehan has three quarter
sections of the Craig mountain tim

his own timber buys extensively
from the farmers, who have nearly
all some clearings to make. These
sales make easy money and accepta-
