Snake and Clearwater rivers and on

Lewiston-The water gauge on the
Lewiston-Clarkson bridge registered
l5 feet inches, showing a marked
subsistence in the volume of the Snake
river, indicating that the crest of the
June flood had passed and teh stream
was receding. The highest point reg
istered was 16 feet inches, about
six inches below the average high
water mark. The Clearwater river
has also begun to fall and reports
from the mountain regions along the
headwaters state that the snow has
nearly all disappeared FROM the high
er passes. For some unaccouptable
reason neither stream carried much
drift during the freshet stage. and
residents along the Snake between
mere and the mouth who rely on the
stream floating their supply of fuel
to their doors during the summer will
be compelled this fall to pay tribute
to the fuel dealer.

Lewiston-Beef. pork and mutton
have all hit the toboggan in the Lew
iston district in the last few weeks,
due partly to the early CRASHED beef
coming In from the Salmon river
ranges, the Introduction of corn-fed
hogs from the middle west, and the
desire of the sheepmen to dispose of
their mutton sheep before going to
the expense of taking them to the
ranges in the mountains.
Cattle buyers are offering but s
cents pound for prime grass beef,
as against 6. cents and more six
weeks ago; pork has declined from
SR and 8 cents to 519 and 6, and
yearling mutton sheep, which brought
as high as cents a pound last
spring, are now selling for $3.50
head. Mackey Bros. sold to Fred
