ANOTHER STEP FOR
JOHNSON ROAD
Lewiston Council Grants Lease on Snake
River Water Front---ROad to
be Extended.

At the regular meeting of thu
council on Monday evening, the or
dinance was passed providing for {
! 99-year lease of water front property
on Snake River avenue to the Lewis.
ton, Nezperce & Eastern Railroad
company.
The ordinance as passed provides
for the lease without restriction OF
lot l in Snake river addition, and
the lease with common user clause
included lots 8 and 4. The lease
rental for period of fifty years is
to be S25 year, and the lease
rental for period of fifty years is to
be then determined for the remaining
period. The lease is conditioned on
the construction within one year Of
the railroad (the Johnson road) be-
tween Lewiston and Waha, and upon
its continued operation, subject to
unavoidable Interruptions only.
The ordinance was passed after a
good deal of consideration. It was
first introduced several weeks ago,
the original intention being to deed
the property to the company. Later
it was determined that the city could
not do this, and then the proposal
was made to lease the property for a
long term for use as depot and ter
minal grounds. It was in pursuance
of this agreement that the ordinance
was finally passed.
d. S. Wallace as member of the
board of directors of the road, a
stockholder and as citizen vitality
in the building of the road,
made pointed talk to the council
noting various details of particular
general interest. He said that some
three or four years ago Mr.. Johnson
was encouraged to attempt to ex-
tend helping hand. He made the
survey and found the building of the
road to be feasible and feeling con-
ident of Lewiston assistance, the
Nezperce, lilo and Waha- Tammany
people furnished him funds and right
of-way.
"Some Silt, 900 has been spent
surveying and building the road as
ar as Tammany," said Mr.. Wallace
'Of this sum Lewiston furnished
lbout $40, ,000-four men furnishing
more than one-fourth of this am cunt.
Nezperce and lilo people furnished
lbout $34 900, besides the right-of-
vay; Charleston and Sweetwater peo-1
,le, $4,000 The balance of the
unds were furnished by Mr.. John
ION.
"It appears to me that there has
,een about $3.50, 900 in cash invested !!
n both ends Of the road. There was
! bond issue Of some $12s, 900, $780,
700 of which has been paid. Mr..
'ohnson's cash investment would ap-
0 be more than 500, ,OOO-the bal
nee in fights-ofway.
"This disproves the idea that Mr..
ohnson is getting something for
othing. The granting Of the ter
ninal grounds lease is important, as
will be factar in obtaining funds
. build the road to Waha, ,and on to
10. When this is done We can feel
ssured of continued open river.

use the phone. The privilege was
granted. He then asked for Leizure.
On being told that he was at the barn,
Liquer said he would sit down and |
wait until he came back. He waited |
until o'clock, and the witness said,

an hour, when Mr.. lockwood start
ed to leave and Mr.. Leizure followed
him. In about 10 minutes Mr..
Leizure returned on a horse and
shouted to the witness to come out.

me sore and l called Liquer out and

Wandering aimlcsgly about the

picked up by Patrolman Bienapfl
about noon today and taken to the
station. The man was Swcde, rather
young, but did not seem to be able

He could speak some English, but he
could not tell much about himself.
He seemed 10 have suffered a lapse
of memory. He did not know whence
he came. though il was thought that
ut one time he said he was at Sioux
City, where he had bad headache
for week. He was fairly well
dressed. In his pockets were found
money to the amount OF about 1897.
II was indeed fortunate that he was
picked mp before any OF this was
stolen.
A passport I'm his pocket, showed
that his name was John Adolph
Larson. and that he used to live IN
Sweden in the providence of vaerm-
LAND. II showed that he was horn in
1878, and seemed TO indicate that he
came 20 America i'm 1908.
DR. G. A. Dahl was called and after
examining the man. gave his opinion
that the stranger was going insane.
