inquiry MADE
ABOUT LEWISTON
MR.. GOLDTHWAITE NOTES THE
FACT LEWISTON is RECEIVING
ATTENTION BECAUSE OF IT'S
EXPECTED DEVELOPMENT

"There has been an increase of in-
CURRY in Spokane and talk about
Lewiston and the Lewiston coun-
try" said William Goldthwaite to-
day. Il think that you will find
the veil lifted from Lewiston for all
time on the completion of the Ri
raria road 1t will open the coun-
try to a class of visitors who have
not heretofore given this section
much recognition.
"The announcement that the
Graves people were considering the
extension Of the Inland to Lewiston
and adding to that the building of
the Lewiston and Southeastern has
| been noted with favor in Spokane.
end citizens of that city are already
making careful inquiry about condi-
| tions in Lewiston valley. Frank II.

ty bureau at Spokane, said to me re-
Gently:

graphical location of Lewiston as t1

ter. 1t would seem to me that by de-
termined effort on the part of the
business interests of Lewiston 1t
could dominate large territory now
served elsewhere. The present year
is exceedingly propitious for sys-
tGmatic personal work to divert inn
migration to the Lewiston country
by reason of the aid that could be
secured through the Hartman bu-
reau that has just established a
branch at Portland
Mr.. Goldthwaite was formerly em-
ployed by the Lewiston publicity bu-
rueau and had charge of the work
r at the Spokane gateway to get in
personal touch with the immigra-
tion that poured through Spokane
en- route to the Pacific coast. He
says that Spokane is reaping tht
:. benefit of persistent effort in the line
. of publicity. and urges that Lewis

LOGCERS RUSH
OPERATIONS

Logging operations are being
carried on with large force of men
in the Webb Ridge section" said
Thomas Swearingen, who is resi-
dent of the mountain section, "At
the present time there is about Is
inches of snow, and all millmen are
anxious to secure the desired amount
of logs before the snow is gone.
The work was delayed in the fall
because of the financial furry,
which rendered it impossible for
mill operators to secure the neces-
sary funds with which to carry on
the logging, and uncertainty of the
lumber market was another reason
why logging was not started unit
late in the season.
During the past two months al
mills have ben preparing to handle
the usual amount of logs this sea
son, and many have already con
tracted their product to the Easter
manufacturers who have been buy
ers in this field for the past severa
years"
