II nov looks like an ice famine val
inevitable for NeEperce and vicinity,
and If the same condition exists
generally over the prairie, an ice
plant will probably be put up at
some convenient point to supply the
deficiency.
An unusually large immigration is
expected In all sections of the coun-
try tributary to Lewiston during the
present Low railroad rates from the
east. A report is given out TO the
effect that Winchester and Vollmer
will keep men at Lewiston during
the next 40 days to give out infor-
nation relative to their sections of
the country and steer many of
the home seekers and investors
toward their respective localities.
Not a bad move, by any means. and
one that Is bound to get results.
On last Friday. A. P. weymer. a
recent arrival in Lewiston from Min
nesota, purchased the warehouse
business conducted in this city by
T. W Robinson of NesPerce, the
spacious warehouse located on the
railroad tracks west of Fourth
street. Since it's establishment in
this city the business has been un-
der the direct management of Ferris
Bros, one Of whom, Wyatt Ferris.
will remain with Mr.. weymer in
the conduction Of the business. The
business. which has heretofore been
under the name Of the Nezperce
Roller Mills, will now be changed
10 that Of the Eureka Dray and
Transfer company.

New Can. at Gym Saturday Nirht

Indoor base ball is the principle
game that viii occupy the local ath-
letic arena during the next few
weeks. A complete outfit was re-
ceived by the gym management last
Monday, and the initial game with
it will be played Saturday night be-
tween the high school team and the
town team.
The outfit consists of regulation
ball, somewhat softer and larger
than the ball used in the outdoor
game, being II inches in circumfer-
ence; a bat something after the
build of broom'stick. and the cos
tunes of the players, about the
same as ordinary base ball suits,
except that a rubber sole shoe takes
the place Of the spiked shoe of the
regular diamond.
Nine players constitute a team,
there being two out6elders and two
shortstops. The rules of the game
conform to standard rules of base
ball as nearly as the indoor play
will permit, and those who enjoy
the sport as it is regularly played
in the open, viii be as highly enter
tanned by the indoor game.
The diamond as laid off in the
Nezperce gym has distance of "a
feet between bases ard il measures
So feet across the diamond from
FIRST base to third.
The big new gym is an ideal place
to play as well as towatch this game
and no doubt a large crowd will
witness each contest pulled of here.
The town teams lineup for Satur-
day night will probably be T. NJ.
Roberts, pitcher; Chas. Fike, catch
sr; c. w. Palmer. ist base; Paul
Blake, 2nd base Jesse Robertson,
srd base Ralph Stellmon and Clair
Price, shortstops; Earl Carey, Har-
bid Murch. r. w. Beck, felders.

The city council on Monday is
sued an order directing the employ.
ment Of County Surveyor A. ]. War
ren to make a survey of of the tovr
with the object Of getting at the de.
tails and cost of putting in sewer
system for Nezpsrce. Mr.. Warren
began making the survey yesterday.
Owing to the modern appointments
of most Of the more recently con-
structed buildings in this city-res-
licences as well as business houses
the demand for a sewer system has
become quite a factor, and the new
public school building, which we are
to erect this SUMNER to house our
400 school children, and furnish for
them the most hygienic conditions,
brings this demand up to such a
status that, If the council finds the
improvement reasonably within the
city's reach, It win be made.
The fact that we already have an
excellent city water system removes
the principal barrier to a sewage
system in asmall town.

Have Money for Big Enterprise.

According to a report in the Lew
iston Tribune, made up from a re-
cent article in the Eugene, Oregon,
Guard, extensive financial prepera-
tiOns are being made by A. Welch
and associates of Portland for car
rying out the big projects which they
have in hand; chief among which is
the development Of the power site at
Horseshoe Bend on the Salmon riv-
er, a report Of which vas published
in The Herald : couple of weeks
ago.
In concluding the article above
referred to, The Tribune said:
"In Lewiston and throughout the
prarie country the impression prevails
that Mr.. Welch is associated with
z. A. Johnson, the builder Of the Nez-
perce road, in his project and that
the plan is to build electric lines not
only serving the prarie country, but
also providing road by way of Wa

transatlantic steamship "Titantic" on the
night of the 14th, up till now, the kilograms
received here have related almost entirely to
that noble ships terrible fate, and 10 won
der, for it is the most awful marine disaster
ever recorded. There have been many and
various reports, some Of them cOntradIcted
later and others still lacking confirmation,
but it is now certain that | ,635 people have
persisted, the remaining 705 Of her passen-
gers and crew having been saved iii the
boats before the doomed ship made her
mighty plunge, bow foremost, Into the
depths of the ocean.
Good often comes out Of evil, and it pro-
misses to be so ia this case for the trans
atlantic liners will be compelled to avoid
the ice by taking more sOuthelly routes, and
will also be forced to carry sufficient boats
and other Appliances to save all on board.
But such thoughts will not help to comfort
