NPEovEMENTs.-S -Sundry improvements ar
going on at the present time in Walla Wala in
the shape of house building, additions to store,
livery-stables, grading and fencing lots prepar-
atOry to putting up edifces thereon, etc. Among
other improvements we may mention the pro-
gress that is being made the new Masonic
Hall on Alder street. The roofing is completed,
the lower room foored, and ceiled over head
Painters have been engaged this week applying
the brush, and the building has dOnned its two
white coats. Tue Hall, when finished in all its
apartments, promises to be handsome and
creditable structure-an ornament to the city
and especially an "institution'' to Alder street
Mr.. Linkton's large and commodious build ng
on the corner, opposite the Hall, is nearly COM
pleted, and makes very creditlble appearance
The elegant and unique residence belonging to
Mr.. Phillips, reflects credit upon the architect
ID all who have been employed in its ccnstruc-
ton. We notice also that "mne host" Taylor,
of the City Hotel, is making Improvement to
the building in the shape of frame dwelling

A NEW TELEGRAPH LINE TO THE PACIFIC
DR.. Rae, the celebrated Polar Sea Explorer, is
at the head of contemplated movement for a
Telegraph Line from the Selkirk settlement, on
the Red River of the North, extending to some
point on the Pacific. The proposed line is to
pass through British territory. A journal pub
lished at Red River Settlement, says that DR..
Rae talks confidently of rich gold fields in pros
pect on the Saskatchewan; and he hints that I'M
sperial money will be got to open up the pro-

Coon SIGN.-Greenback have been stead
lily advancing in price since the nomination
of Mcclellan and Pendeton. The moned
men of New York control the price of
greenbacks and they are all supporting Nc
Clellan and Pendletou. Let it be remem-
bered that Immediately after the nomination
Of Lincoln greenbacks went down to 80
cents, and since the nomination of MeClel-
Ian they have advanced to 523 cents, and

THE IDAHO ELECTION-The election in Idaho
Territory will take place on the 10th inst. 1t
is generally thought that the vote for Delegate
Will be close Both parties claim that their
candidate will be elected. From what we can
learn it appears that there has been little change
in Idaho politics since Walace's election Tie
same politicians figure at the head of their re-
spective organizations, and it is confidently as
serted that matters are in no better shape than
before. The triumph of either party will not be
q matter of surprise

MnITARY-The resignation ofd I'd Lieutenant
James MunrOe, of Company "B." lst W T. In
tantry stationed at Fort Walla Walla, has been
accepted by Gen. Mcdowell.
Major Rumrill, of the same Regiment, late
commandant at Fort Colvlle left here this
week, to assume command of Fort Steilacoom.
Surgeon Whitemore, recently at Colville, is now
on duty at the Post here.
Captain Currys command, which has been on
duty in the field since May last, is expected to
return to Walla Walla by the middle of the
current moath.
We hear it stated that the Department does
not deem it necessary to keep up the present
arrison of Fort Walla Walla, and a change
may ensue during the coming Spring; while the
Posts at Covlle and Boise are regarded as es-
sential to keep the Indian tribes in subjection.
General Mcdowell, while recently on visit
to the Fort, gave orders for the discharge of all
the civilians employed in the Quartermasters
Department.
Fort Colyille is now garrisoned by company
&C" of the W T. Volunteers-Capt Daniel
Glazer, Lieuts. Wisendorf and Goetz. The
three years term of the greater portion of this
Regiment will expire in March and April next;
the residue in July and August.
Captain VIM. B. Hughes, Quartermaster in
the Regular Army, lately attached to the Cloth
ing Departmental San Francisco, passed through
Walla Walla on Tuesday, en- route for Fort
Boise, where he will relieve Lieut. Funk, of the

time as A. Q. NJ for that Post. Mr.. James Lu-

limited and excited little attention. The stock
on exhibition-hOrses, cattle, etc.-was not
very creditable; and the whole affair, according

we hear spoken of as being praiseworthy, was

CHINAMEN FOR MINEs.-A wagon load of Chi
namen went up to Lewiston on Tuesday to work
in the mines on the bars along Snake river
The Cinnamon have already become pretty gen
orally informed in regard to the new miners law
lately passed at Orc FinO, and it will not be
long before that whole upper country will be
overrun with them. As the mining camps be-
come less productive and labOrers follow up the
richest diggings, it may be safely assumed that
other mining localities viii shortly follow the
example of Orc Fno in the matter of introdu-
cling Chinese laborers Heretofore the miners
have very generally prohibited Cinnamon from
working the mines of the upper country, by
their local district laws, but it is apparent that
those laws will not exclude them much longer.
If the people Of Idaho desire to keep this class
of people from working the mines they should
see to it and have their next Legislature pass a
prohib.tory act to meet the case.

term "Hemplegia palsy of one-half of the
body. Under the care of DR.. L. G. Kinney the
unfortunate patient is doing well. One or two
other patients suffering from maladies contract
ed in the Boise country have also been treated
successfully in the same Infrmary.

he did not agree with the Cabinet. He will

brought to bear in opposition to Lincolnis re-
electon--thats some comfort.
