Hon E. D. Hobrook, Delegate elect from
Idaho, came near losing his life recently by
a snow slide. The Idaho Statesman gives
the following particulars
A snow slide occurred on the Davis Hill
last Friday, as Mr.. Hoyt and E. D. Holbrook
were passing that place Both men and
horses were swept over the bank, and one of
the horses is still buried in the avalanche.
The other was found the next morning
standing on the ice in the creek below.
The slide so obstructed the road that the
men could neither go back nor proceed, and
they managed to keep from freezing by
walking in a circle th at they tramped down
for the purpose. This they kept up all
night, and in the morning they were res
cued by parties who were sent in search Of
them. Mr. Holbrook was by this time en-.
tirely exhausted, and had to be dragged by
his companion towards the Davis ranch be-
fore they were found. Mr. Hoyt had his
feet badly frozen but not dangerously, tho
both men suffered severely and only escaped
death by the greatest effort

EDS. STATEsMAN:- left Placerville on
the fifth Of this month, with thirty men and
two sleighs, to break the road from Placer
vile to Horseshoe Bend The new snow,
that fell in two days, was about three feet,
except slides from the mountains from twen-
ty to eighty feet deep. We broke road until
about FIVE o'clock in the evening, and find
ing that it was impossible to get through, we
left our sleighs and reached house by nine
o'clock We returned early next morning
and found one of the sleighs seventy five
feet under snow l have had six men work
ing for three days for it, but without sue
cess. We thought some of staying in the
sleigh the night of the snow slide, and if
we had we'd have "gone up the fume." I
have kept men enough on the road to open it
in good order.
Mr.. Holbrook and Mr.. Hoyt on coming
from Boise City, were overtaken by slide
Of snow and buried under it. Mr.. Hol-
brooks horse was killed, and it was only by
"scratch" that Holbrook succeeded in dig
ging himself out.
There is more snow in the Basin than the
people know what to do with. 1t will ave-
rage from ten to twelve feet, and still snow
ing. The stock on the Snake and Payette
is all dieing. Snake river is breaking up.

The Idaho Statesman wants all the Chi
namen that are going into Idaho, sent in
the direction of Lewiston The Statesman
thinks the Johns wouldn't mix well with
the people of Southern Idaho. Perhaps
the Statesman wouldn't object to having a
batch of "freedmen" sent in the direction of
Boise Would they mix any better? If so,
the Loyal Publication Society would be graf
flied, and would soon smother Boise Basin
with their contrabands and "broadsides." +"
One-half the stock of Ada county, l. T.,

PoLITBos ALL TIE RAGE.-Politics is all the

Evans, Republican, and Mr.. Tilton, Democrat
both "Sound" men. Though it is uncertain
vet who the nominees will be, as the aspirants
are numerous in both parties. Party lines will
be strictly drawn in Walla Walla County, and
the local offices will no doubt be filled by party
men. In the City election, to come off on Tues
day, politics have been ignored entirely; for
the reason, probably, that the Offices to be filed
