EFFECTS or THE RARITY or THE
8 atmospheric IN IDAHO TER.
RITORYs


This portion of Idaho Territory IS situated
nearly ten degrees distant from tho coast, and
separated from it by three ranges of noun
taiDs--tae Cascades, the Blue mountains and
the Western rim of What is known as the
Boise Basin. When to this distance from the
humid breezes of the ocean is added the
elevation of the country above thelevel Of
the sea, the difference in the density of the
atmosphere becomes apparent. AS we ascend
the waterseof the Columbia the rarity of the
atmosphere becomes more and more percepti-
BILE. Particularly is this the case during the
winter months.
This difference in the character of the air
produces some singular phenomena, which
strike the senses of every observer of nature.
As the density of the air diminishes, it be-
CONFESS less ready conductor of sesSnd--a
fact which evsry singer or musician here
soot. becomes painfully aware of. The deaf
ness of the deaf is increased. We aye told
by friend, slightly deaf, that whenever he
visits Portland or San Francisco he can hear
with comparative ease. As he advances into
the interior it becomes the more difficult.
Cow essntion, which on the coast he Can
readily understand, in this Basin cannot be
hear& The power Of public speakers is
also diminished in very sensible degree
especially the ability to speak in the open air.
The voice loses It's volume and is rapidly
dissipated ia,the wind. The'ability to, speak
and the sense of hearing being both in0-
paired. the difficulties OF the speaker are re-
doubled. This deficiency in sound is very
perceptibly shown in the report of rifle or
pistol. During the exceedingly cold weather
OF last winter neither of these could be heard
at any great distance, aud when heard sound
ed more like the shopping of cap than the
full report Of the loaded weapon These in.

1t changes the whistle oflthe winds through
the trees, as well as the whistle of the steam
engine. 1t modulates andvaries every sound
that falls upon tie ear.
To the eye it produces changes equally as
evident. Il gives to the skies another hue
to the floating clouds another shape and
color. It ornaments the hill sides with other
flowers and through its manifold Influences

GooDs ON THE WAY.-Mr Bledsoe of Wells,
Fargo & Go. says thereis now an enormous
smount Of goods, and particularly provis-
ions, onthe road from Walla Walla and
Umatila fee the Boise Basin. Flour ia a
common article onthe road, and he thinks
will soon be SO here. We Obsssve from the
lower country papers that great excitement
was raised at Umatilla and Daliss, caused by
tbe fire here, and tina supposed. deficiency Of
provisions among the merchants andminers.
Itcaused an Immediate raise in. freight at
Umalilla, and The shipment of goods from
the lower Columbia. This, being. the case
there is a fair prospect that ttse-naarkets may
come down some 10 their figures before the
summer has ended.

SEVERAL COMPANIES are out prospecting
the country eastward for placer diggngs.
No authentic reports of results have been
yet obtained. Its very probable that some
OF these companies may be successful in dis
covering new basin or basins, between this
place and the Rocky mountains. The coun-
try alluded to has been traversed in some
directions by prospectors heretofore, but the
region is extensive, and but little is really
known of its resources. The discovery OF
basins in the Bitter Root mountains further
north will give an impetus to, these move
nents. The tide Of golden, empire /, now
rolling eastward and mems faces are lifted
that way in expectation.

Nothing had been taken from the bodies Of

about the head and Lody. Moultun aud Cursons
had stoppad ut the toll gate aud taken drunk OF

the gate keeper heard tour shots fired in rapid
succession but it bong usual for the miners in the

he paid no attention to it, until gentleman cUIli
lug along said that three men had been murdered
at tile forks OF the road. There was pack train
camped near the spot and it is a wonder TO me
that some uf the packers did not notice the &C.
cullence as the animals were hobbied in open
view of the scene. 1t is TuInOred that man, who
was coming from CenterVille, was on the hill
above where the murder was committed, heard

from appearing as witnesses against the fends in

the murdercrs to put the body OF Wilson in a

cult knot. 1t is one of those singular cases
which seldom occur, and it is fortunate
for the well being Of communities that they
are unfrequent. The Judges of the Supreme
Court, should the issue ever reach adjudica-

decide the whole question, ferif the decision
lis not rendered and fled at the place declared

validity.
If not decided before the meeting cf.he
next session Of the Legislature, where will
that body meet. The difficulty growing out
of the action of the late Legislature might

ton, but to be of any validity those remedial
enactments must be made,at the Capital
If the Legislature should meet at Boise city,
Lewiston will claim that the members are
not at the Capital and therefore all action by
it Is invalid. If it meets at Lewiston, Boise

The difficulty appears to be- beyond legisla-

growing from bad to worse, the courts should
decide the matter as speedily as possible.
