outside districts have suffered severely
from the recent recurrence Of influenza

been fortunate in the limited number
of cases it had, which, with few
exceptions have been mild, and but
one fatality resuDted-that Of Fred
Maher, a well known young farmer
of northeast Of town-for which fav-
orable condition the prompt eimina-
ton of public gatherings and attend
ant precautionary measures here are
largely responsible.
The local doctors report all their
flu patients recovered or nearly 80
and no new ones being heard from.
The Temple Theatre will open its
doors tomorrow, Friday, night with
good bill and continue on its usual
schedule of nightly shows and Sunday

What's Our Population?

The current census will show Ncz-
perce e population to be something over
q thousand souls, is the guess OF =
number of local experts, and the ma
jority Of those in position to mako
the closest reckoning place the inhab-
itants at near the thousand mark. How
ever, in the list of guessers some place
the figure as low as 900, while others
go as high as 1900. What the census
enumerators found will not be dis
closed until the department is ready
to give it out--not before late summer,
anyway. In the meantime general off
hand calculations will credit the eoun-
ty seat Of Lewis county with about
1000 residents, to give it in round
numbers.
