White's station on the stage line between Lewiston and Int. Idaho, now owned by a Mr Fountain is a similar case.  During the past year the stage has not passed over the road running by White's, but takes a route outside the reservation.  The change of the stage route made the tenure of the station-keeper upon the reservation uncertain, but inducements have been found to bring the mail back over this line, and the stage will resume its old drive past White's Station upon July 1st.  The stage is a spring-wagon drawn by two horses, these are changed at White's Station and a meal is sometimes taken there by passengers.  The mail leaves Lewiston early in the morning of each day and reaches Int. Idaho late in the evening.  The stage company keeps from four to six horses at White's.
