WAR EAGLE MILLs-We get the follow
ing description of the establishment bear
ing the above name from the Boise
Democrat of late date. 1t will be mat
ter of interest to the people of this section to
learn that our tOwnsman, Mr.. H. P Isaacs,
has had the large mill described built
at Boise City:
"a day or two since we made an editorial yis-
1t to the establishment bearing this name We
were taken bodily thither by the geutlemauly
proprietor himself Mr.. II. p. Isaacs The mill
building is situated on the south side of Boise
river, about one mile from town. and is a large
and conspicuous four stored structure, roomy,
and stoutly and conveniently put together. Near
by is the granary of the capacity of six thousand
bushels, at present nearly full of Boise valley
wheat. The farmer dumps his load of grain
from the outside, through great wooden spout
which emptes luto a receptacle within the mill
where the grain is weighed, and thence is passed
by means Of elevators and wooden pipes to the
granary, there to await the convenience of the
dusty miller On the first floor is a setl of fine
French burrs for grinding. and hnnr chests 90
the second floor is the huge boiling chest neatly
almost elegantly, constructed and so arranged
that skilful workman can produce from il any
nuality Of -four desired. On the ground floor
is an apparatus, consisting Of screens, separa,
tors and sm 1T machines, for cleaning the wheat
of any foreign m terial that it may contain afer
having been sifted au1 famed by a similar appa-
rstus on the third floor OF he building, at which
latter place the grain is FIRST subjected to the
cleaning process. On the ground fioer it receives
its hnal preparation for being ground into flour.
To make hrst class extra -four it is necessary th
all superhuOus matter, like oats, barley. cheat.
unsound wheatan other impurities should be
removed from the grain before grinding. The
apparatus for this business in the War Eagle Ia
the most complete we ever saw. Itis impossible
that any extraneous particles should remain
among the sound wheat after it has undergone
the process used by Mr. Isaacs. Indeed, we pre-
dict that with little better quality Of wheat than
can now be obtained in this valley, the sImperiaI
Family Flour turned out at these mills will ba
equal to any brand used in this market vitbon :
exception. The capacity of these mills is from 75
TO 100 barrels per day, with water-power sufi-
eient to double 1t il needed. The machinery is
o;aSuPerior character iu weight and soIidity os
frame work. The perfection Of proportion and
convenient arrangement visible eyery mart tbis
mAgniheent establishment is due to the carefaI
snperntendsnee and WorkmAnlike skill Of M
Hm Aatzger, millwright and macbinist. Tbs
machinery, works with faultless preeision "a
smoothness, is from the Willamette Iron Work,
At Portland, Oregon.

New ORDER OF THINGS. - President
johnson announces to Congress that new
order of affairs has been instituted in the
military district of New Orleans by Gen.
HancOck-he having restored there the ha-
5eas corpus, the civil courts and freedom of
the press. So far so good. But why did
not bis excellency, the President, inaugurate
this move in the direction of civil liberty
months ago? Why did he not remove the
petty tyrants who ruled the South with rod
of iron, and place such couservators of the
peace as Hancock, in their stead at the be.
ginning? The President is always too slow.
He let's a world of mischief be enacted under
his very nosey and after every conceivable
damage has been inflicted on a people, he
begins the slow work of repairing. Better
late than never. With such officers as Han
cock in command, the Southern people would
soon be able to shake off the despotism that
hOvers over them, and occupy their proper
position in the Union.

ANOTHER DEFAULTER.-J. H. Misener

suspected that his accounts with the O. P

"NEGRo EQUALITY AND DEMOCRACY.-
The democracy of Washington Territory
have adopted negro equality as a popular
measure.-BOiSe Statesman.
Not much. On the contrary, the rump
at Washington, D. c., forced negro suffrage
on the democracy of Washington T., and the
mongrels here seconded the motion by Glcc L.
ting radical Flanders to Congress. There is
not, we venture to assert, democrat in this
Territory who would vote for negro suffrage
or negro equality on direct issue. These
are matters-sweet scented dogmas-that
catch radical votes. We oplne that the rump
papers will find it slow business in endeav-
Oring to shift the responsibility of negro
equality measures and enactments, to demo,
cratic shoulders.

Salt Lake and Snake Valley Branch Railroad


The Boise Democrat of the 2lst inst, has the
following in relation to this road:
The newspapers and inhabitants of Oregon
and Northern Idaho seem to be largely in favor
of the proposed branch railroad from some point
in the vicinity of Great Salt Lake, via Snake
River Valley, to the Columbia. The Walla
Walla STATESMAN is strongly in favor of this
IUuse, Uut ashs for iurJImHtiUu Ia regard Inere.
TO. We have already through the columns of
the Democrat, given publicityt to whatever knOwl-
edge we possess on the subject. To this place,
there is absolutely no difficulty to be encounter
ed, and from Boise City to any terminus on the
Columbia, that paper, and all others of those
sections feeling interest in the road, ought to
know as well or better than we what are the fa-
cil,ies and advantages of by far the largest por.
tion of the route. We can assure the people of
Oregon and Northern Idaho that this end of the
road is in the highest degree practicable We
are glad to see that the Oregonians are taking
sensible and practical view of this important en- .
terprise. Its completion would place Portland
in communication with the Atlantic States as
Immediately as San Francisco. As the HeralFs
correspondent justly remaris, the mining and
agricultural resources trayessed by the Snake
River route are infinitely superior n every resS
pect to those on the line of the Humboldt route
Indeed, after leaving Willamette Valley, there is
scarcely an inducement of any kind to Justify
the building of a railroad over that line, before
reaching Humboldt valley; while a road in this
direction would not only pass directly through
the best of Southern 1dahos rich mining dis
trcts, but it would thoroughly tap the agricul-
tural sections Of Northern Idaho, Eastern Ore
gon and Washington Territory, and give them
never failing outlet for their productions and
and almost continental market for thir cou>
sumption. single glance at the map shows the
feasibility Of the Snake river route over all
others.

"LEG BAIL" L."-Early this morning our
citizens were aroused by pistol shots fred
in the vicinity of ChishOlms lodging house,
On repairing to the scene of the disturbance
it was found that Constable Rittenhouse had
fred the shots in attempting to arrest pris>
ouer for whom a warrant had been issued the
night before. The cause leading to this de-
cisive action on the part of the officer is
about as follows; This morning the consta-
Bile, after looking about for his man during

that DAILY was sleeping at the above men 4.

at the same time presented the warrant
charging him with having unlawfully dis,
posed of horse belonging to N. & E. Brown.
At this juncture, DAILY tried to make his
escape and ran out the back door. Ritten-
house followed after and commanded him to
stop. This he refused to do, whereupon the
constable commenced shooting, and at the
third discharge his pistol exploded. Finds
ing that the prisoner still paid no heed to his
demands more than to increase his speed, he
started in pursuit, and after an exciting chase
of about mile and half he came up with
