WHAT WE. WANT

!
lis a telegraph connecting. this Basin with thu
rest Of mankind. Abouta year ago acorn
pany appliedto the Legislature of this Terri
tory for charter to construct a line from
Idaho to Red Bluffs, but for some cause IN,
known TO us nothing has been done in th'
premises That the project is not only feast
BILE but easy of accomplishment is a fact tina
all practical men are conVersant with. The
distance from here to the latter place j;
reckoned from four hundred and twenty-five
to four hundred and fifty miles, ard over 9
county in which with the exception OF about
one hundred miles, poles can be procured fol
the whole distance Passing as it does over
no mountains save those lying between here
and Boise City and the Sierra Nevada, the
storms of winter can effect it but little, and
not permanently. The line might-b SO con-
strueted.as to embrace Idaho City, Gentreyille,
Placerville, Boise City, Rnby City, BDopville,
Puebla, Honey Lake and Red Bluff, thus
making a continuous line Of stations the
whole distance
The greatest expenditure in the constitute
ton of such an enterprise would be in the
wire the batteries, insulators, poles &c. be-
ing but nominal in comparison with. the,for
mer. From casual calculation we are sat-
isfed that the line can be put in working or
der between the Sacramento river and this
place for less than $4,000.
In San Francisco alone we are convinced
that from three to four-ffths- of this amount
would be subscribed land surely, when tines
improve, the balance can easily be raised
here ..ss
Merchants as well as every otherrdepart-
ment of industry cannot fail of being bene-
fitted by such an agency, and to them par.
ticularly wouldithe benefit be the greatest.
While on this subject we would also sug-
gest another route which iseqnally as prac-
ticable and perhaps much shorter tnan THAT
to Red Bluff, and, that is to Star
City. If we are correctly informed, the dis
lance from Idaho to the latter place cannot
exceed much over three hundred miles. The
telegraph company at that place, we are con-
ident, will extend their line to 0wyhee dur
ing the Summer, and it only remains for Us
10 carry the line to that place. Cannot this
De done among ourselves I? Is there no capt
,aiists with Sufficient energy to carry such an
to a successful issue
All persons who have been necessitated to
ravel or have communication with 0wyhee
Turing last winter must be painfully aware
If the difficulties arising from the transit
between here and. there, We know of seye-
al instances where letters have been from
hrty to sixty days getting to their destina-
ion between the two points and for aught
sc know to.the contrary many of the valua- !
lie lives sacrificed last winter might have
,een saved by the agency of, a telegraph.
We do hope,that some of our citizens who
ave the means will think seriously of this
roject and give it such an impetus as will
nable the Idahoans to hold fellowship with

Miss Parker, closed last Saturday.
Examination of classes occupied the
forenoon, and an exhibition the alter
noon. Owing to the number in at

the church. Order. propriety. and
promptness Of the pupils, proved the
efficiency of Miss Parker, as n
teacher. The exercises were all
very good, well gotten up, and suited
to the occasion. The attendance of
the parents gave evidence of the in

the advancement of their children.
The people of Jericho are fully
awake to the great cause of education.

FgUIT GRowERs.-We desire %
drop hint or two TO all such as have
fruit trees old enough to bear fruit.
At the next fall of snow, bank the
snow around your fruit trees, and
then cover the snow with straw or
corn stocks, or litter from the stable.
and By so doing you will keep back
the budding and blossoming of your
trees till late in the spring, when
there will bc no danger from FROST
This will insure You fruit. When
your trees are in bloom, or after the
fruit has formed, pick Off at least
one half or two thirds, and YOU will
have larger apples, and insure you
fruit every year. When trees are
allowed % retain all their bloom, the
apples will be smaller. and. besides, it
so eXhausts the tree that it will not
bear every year.
