The Old Corner Burned.
Monday morning at alxnit 3 o'clock a
fire started in the Banquet restaurant in
the Theissen building known as the "Old
Corner'* and the restaurant and Felix
Warren's saloon were both burned to the
ground.
The fire caught from the kitchen of the
restaurant. The night man, Mr. Head,
was asleep on the kitchen table at the
time and was awakened by the roaring of
the flames. The fire spread rapidly aud
created a great heat. The fire company
directed its efforts when it arrived toward
keeping the fire from spreading to other
buildings. The damage to surrounding
buildings was considerable, but was con
fined to the cracking of plate glass in the
buildings across the street.
The buildings destroyed by fire were
owned by J. D. Thiessen and were in
sured for $1,500. Felix Warren & Co.
had $2,000 on their stock and fixtures
and the restaurant fixtures were insured
at $500. The damage to plate glass on
the surrounding buildings is estimated as
follows: M. Donzac It Co., $31x2; C. C.
Bunnell, $390; Lewiston National liank,
$ux>; Hinnard building, $11»; Owl saloon.
Artesian Water.
Lewiston valley must have artesian
water. This conviction is fast gaining
ground, and nothing short of absolute
failure will convince the people that the
contrary is true. Char'es Francis Adams
and the Vineland company are seeking
to interest the government ill making a
; geological survey of the Clearwater coun
try, with an idea ol determining among
other tilings the probability of artesian
water for Lewiston valley. Mr. Russell,
the government engineer who made the
survey in Yakima and pronounced upon
the probabilities for Moxee basin, will
j probably have clnrge of the geological
survey for the Clearwater country.
Meanwhile the citizens of Lewiston
may put down a test well. S. G. Isaman
offers $1000 (in land) for any one who
will put a successful flowing well on his
fruit farm. Other plans are being forum
lated, among them the formation of a
stock company which could, in case of
success, sell.water to other residents and
recoup themselves for the expense of
putting in the well. With flowing wells
all alamt the edges of the basiu that dips
into Lewiston valley, it seems more than
probable that artesian water could Ire se
cured here if any organized effort were
made to secure it.
The Bollinger House.
The new brick building erected by
Win. Bollinger on D street between Third j
I aad F our th was opened as a restaurant
all( j lodging house yesterday. The place j
will be called the Bollinger House. The
! first floor will be used as a restaurant,
! and it has been elegantly fitted up for
">»t Purpose. The second floor contains
__ten nicely furnished rooms. The plumb
. fl)rniture and figures of the
place have been arranged to give every
j KJ , ss ji,} e CO mfort to the guests,
| Mr. Bollinger has gained a reputation
in the restaurant business, and hisfriends
will find the Bollinger House will insure
the continuation of firstclass service.

Has the Spokesman-Review gone into
Spoke _
! the field of yellow journalism ? is the
question the citizens of Lewiston are ask
j ing since they read the effusion pub-,
lished by that journal Sunday morning
purporting to l>e a report of the action
taken by the republicans in their county
convention of .Saturday last. With a bias
of malice ami prejudice, aided by a robust
imagination, the correspondent furnished
a sensational report which is utterly void
of truth. The meeting in question was
|>erfectlv harmonious. There was neither
faction iior friction, combination nor con
tention in the proceedings of the conven
tion. There is absolutely no truth in the
report sent to the Review. The citizens
are wondering whether that able journal
has changed its policy of furnishing to
the public authentic news and has des
ceuded to the plane of yellow journalism
to indulge in giving utterauce to the vap
orings of every peripatetic wordmonger
that chances to send in copy.
