Volunteers as Big Sister

Last week I saw in the Corner that some one wanted a mother I have always felt that no one can ever know what it means to be without one>unless she has had actual experience. I am not offering to be a mother, for no one can possibly be that. Perhaps among the readers there is a girl who has never known mothers love or even a sisters. If such a one feels she wants and needs a big sister, I will try my best to fill the need. Of course, this is a hard thing to do, but as I have been in that position my own mother died when I was an in fant--I think, perhaps, I would under. stand her problems and it would be great pleasure for me to try and help her.
 "E. M. G."
 Will you let us know how you would be a motherly sister to a friendless girl through the medium of the Corner un- less you are willing to enter upon a sus- tained correspondence? This, take ts be your wish. and entering heartily into the spirit of your proposal I am register ing your address and offer. "The biz brother idea has gone into active prac- tice, and is doing untold good. Big sisters" are yet more sorely needed. Should any lonely girl. who longs for intelligent sympathy and practical coun- sel. desire to consult our "sisterly'' mem- Der, she may have her address.

Marion, November 12-(Specal.)-Th city officials of Marion have proposed a bond issue election for December 14 with which to pay off $6000 of accumulated in- debtedness of the past eight years. When the dispensary was closed under the first statewide prohibition law, several thou sand dollars balance was placed in the treasury, and from that day until this no public statement has been made of the receipts or Expenditures of the town; and the average-voter cannot well un- derstand why such a deficit now exists The present bonded debt is $25O O0O, and it is proposed to issue $6000 of per cent bonds to take up notes now bearing 8 per cent and carried largely by local banks, which have been represented on the council for several years
 A number of Bibb county representa- tives appeared before the board of com missiOners this week in an effort to se- cure aid in building the Marion-Centre- vile highway and thus making a direct route into Birmingham. However, this county is pledged to building to Union town and Felix, which will consume the road funds for a number of years.

At that time no serious developments had shown and her death is distinct shock to Marion.

Seeks Missing Friend

Having noticed the good results my friends have had at your hands with regard to their several requests, I am making so bold as to ask your advice in helping me to locate Mrs. William Everetts, who at last accounts, was living at Otho. la, she having moved there from Kalo, Ia. (Webster county). It is four years since we have had any word from her, and. although we have written several times, we have received no an- swer. We would deeply appreciate any suggestion that you may make in help ing us to locate her. J. P. B.
 We have no suggestion to make other than that you hold yourself in readiness to receive and answer courteously any communication we may forward to you by mail respecting the missing friend. While it is true that families and friends have been reunited through our agency, there is always an element of uncertainty in the undertaking. We can only engage to lay the case before the constituency. and hope for favorable issue.

is $4,000
ConfIagration at Porthill Early Monday

of an Incendiary
STARTED in VACANT BUILDING
Losers May Rebuild and Continue in
Business

Monday morning of this week
when three of the principal bust
ness blocks and several small build
ings were burned to the ground

$3.50 of which 50, 900 was COW
cred by insurance.
The fire started in a small frame
building adjoining the Whitney
hotel. 1t spread very rapidly and
within an hour or so after the

ings had been completely de-
stroyed. Porthill people claim
that the fire was the work of an
incendiary but as yet have no abb
solute proofs.
G.. B. Whitney, who is the pro.
prietor of the Whitney hotel and
bar, lost practically everything
He saved piano and few per.
sonal effects. Lingrell & Kelley
who are the proprietors of a gen.
eral merchandise store, saved only
few articles of clothing, and J
c. English, proprietor of the Port
hill Inn and Bar, saved part of hi:
dining room equipment and one OF
two bedroom suites.
Lingrell & Kelly estimate theil
loss at about $4,000. They car
ried SO, 600 insurance. 1t is under
stood that this firm will builc
again and secure a new stock O
merchandise. Whitney and En-
glish, it is said, will continue il
the saloon business only and will
move into temporary quarters a
their county licenses will expire il
few months.

CELEBRATED
CANAL OPENING
Lewiston Citizens Entertain Thousands
of Guests Ia Honor of Open
Waterway to Portland
MONDAY WAS A GALA DAY
Many Prominent Men From Four State,
Were in Attendance

Undoubtedly the most successful
celebration which has ever been
given by any small city in Idaho
was that held in Lewiston Monday
in honor of the opening of the
Cello canal which gives Lewiston
the distinction of being the only
seaport town of the state. The
affair was probably attended by
10000 visitors among whom were
Governor Alexander, of Idaho,
Governor Lister, of Washington,
Governor Withcomb, of Oregon
Senators Borah and Brady, of
Idaho, Senator Poindexter, of
Washington, and so or more prom
inent men of various callings in
life.
The celebration opened with the
arrival of the Portland and Astoria
steamboats,, the first 20 pass through
the Cello canal. Monday noon a
parade over a mile in length was
held. 1t was led by automobiles
carrying veterans, members of Gov
ernor Alexander S staff and officers
of the Idaho National Guard, the
latter having assembled at Lewis
ton Sunday Cor the regular monthly
officers school. The most inter
esting section of the parade was
lead by band of Nez Perez Indi-
ans, respondent in paint, beads,
feathers and gaudily rich clothes.
Floats representing early scenes
were plentiful and were beautifully
decorated. A genuine pack train,
a stage coach and an immigrant
wagon, early day Chinese placer
miners were in the procession and
were followed by pupils of the
Lewiston high school, 500 strong,
and delegates from all the nearby
cities and towns. Five bands were
in the procession.
In the afternoon the people of
Lewiston and their guests listened
to brief speeches of felicitation
made by the several notables pres
ent and afterwards the visitors were
treated to automobile rides through
the wonderfully rich fruit districts
surrounding Lewiston rnd Clarks-
ton.
Lewiston is surrounded by thou
sands and thousands of acres OF
rich fruit and wheat land, most oil
which is in a high state of cultiva-
ton. Most of the orchards within
radius OF six to ten miles OF the
city are in bearing. Lewiston it
self is city of pretty homes, we'll
built business blocks, clean streets
and well-kept lawns. Next to our
own Bonner county, it is the most
picturesque district of Northern
Idaho.
The opening of the Cello cana
