Snake Flood Destroying Grade.
Parties from down the river re
port that the rising waters of the
Snake river are washing out the
grading, of the Lewiston-Kiparin line
this sidj of Alinota. The conditions,
however, are not serious as the dam
age occurs only in places and to an
extent that will only require a short
time to repair after the water te
cedes. Gray & Chapman, the railroad con
tractors, have commenced operations
with the steam shovel Just below Rl
paria on the Pasco line of tho North
ern Pacific. The Inauguration of
work on the Rlparla end of this line
Is significant and again gives rise to
previous rumors that the Northern
Pacific owns the Lewlston-Rlparia

to be rurely an O. R. A N. line and
later a Joint roHd of the O. R. & N.

OVERALL WAR IS MERCILESS.
Two Firms Are) Both Underselling
Each Other.
That the male population of Pendle
ton will soon be clothed in overalls Is
probable If the merry war which Is '
now being waged between Kahn Bros,
and the Worklngmen's Clothing com
pany continues.
The fight started when Kahn Bros,
opened up a sale of clothing at reduc
ed prices In a temporary store Just
south of the Rader furniture store.
The proprietor of the Worklngmen's
store Immediately met competition by
selling overalls for 65 cents. Kahn
came back at him with a price of 33
cents. This was followed by a drop
to 30 cents on the part of Louis Moses.s
of the Worklngmen's store. Kahn
Bros, made a feint and rushed the
rope for 29 cents. Moses got busy
and landed a good blow with a large
sign calling attention to 25 cent over
alls. The response was an undercut
for 23 cents. Things got warm by this
time and the front of bojth stores were
placarded with signs and knock-out
drops were administered by Moses at
a 20, 15 and 12 cent rate with the
punching quickly returned by Kahn
to the tune of 19, 14 and 11 cents.
A solar plexus blow was then at
tempted by Moses with an announce
ment of 3 cent pants, but Kahn crowd
ed him to the ropes with a free pair
with every 96 cent purchase. Both
contestants are now panting for
breath, while the store is filled with
eager buyers.
