there the water would rush into narrow gorge,
the rocks at the side rolling It to the centre in
great waves, and the boats would go leapiug and
bounding over these like things of life. We
ran twelve miles In one hour, stoppages included.
The distance was thought to be much more by
others OF the party. At last turning a
PG.h| we came to calm water, but
with a threatening roar, in the distance.
Sraouany approaching this roar, we came to
iaiIs is ana ued up just above them on the
lei5 Dank' Here we had to make a portage. We
uhloaueu the boats then fastening n long line
to the bow and another to the stern of one, we
moored 1t close to the edge of the falls. The
stern line was taken below the falls and made
1ast, the bow line was taken by five or six men
ana the boat let down long as they could
mold 1t; then letting go, the boat ran over and
was caught by the lower rope. Getting one boat
over that night, we rested until morning; then
made trail among the rocks, packed the
falls, over the remaining main Sow boats and md
were ready to start before noon. On a rock by
winch our trail ran, was written Ashley" with
date, one figure of which was obscure-some
thinking il was 1926 others 1855. / had been
told by old mountaineers of party of men
starting down the river, and Ashley was mem
toned as one; aud the story was that the boat
was swamped and some of the party drowned in
the canyon below. This word ASHLEY is a
warning to us and we resolve on great caution
"Ashley Falls" is the name we have given the
cataract.
Writing June z, he proceeds:-On the 4th of
June we came down into Browns Hole. Half
way down the valley spur of the Red Noun
tain stretches across the river, which cuts cam
yon through it. Here the walls are compare
lively low but vertical, and vast multitudes of
swallows have built their adobe houses on their
sides. So we call this Swallow Canyon. =
On the 9th of June we reached the head of the
canyon made by the river where it turns to the
southwest and cuts through the southern half of
the range. 1t was from this point that the last
letter was written upon the summit of the cliff
which formed the canyon. He sat on the same
rock last year, he says, with Mrs. Powell. Be
yond this there was mystery, and he expected to
enter the grand gateway next day.

Another Railroad.

Railroads are the order of the day. They
are being built everywhere around US, across
our lands in every direction, so that La Sale
County will soon be like gfidiron. The
last OF these many projected roads is one from
La Sale to Chicago. This road will give a
ready market and easy means. of transporta-
ton from many little towns and vast sections
OF rich and populous country to Chicago and
the East The road will pass through the
towns of Watham, Dayton, Serena and. Mis-
sion-a splendid strip of country-in this
county, to Newark, and, thence direct to Chica-
go. This road will enable the Illinois Central
to connect with the" Garden City" from La
Sale by a shorter route than their present one.
Last Tuesday convention of the leading cit
liens of Princeton, Peru and Dimmick was
held at La Sale to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
extending the road to Princeton by way of
Peru The officers express the utmost conf
dence that the right of way will be secured
the approaching winter, and the road be fin
lshed from La Sale to Chicago by January /.

VIM. r. Millikan.

L W M 80 S8AsAA0oo.
The main effort of the radicals of this coup-
ty, combined with the little Statesman CLIQUE
seems to be concentrated on the defeat of VIM
r. Milligan for county clerk. We can see nc
other motive for this "unholy alliance" against
him,than that stated in our hearing by radical
the other day, that if as able, earnest and de.
cidcd democrat, and in all respects strong a
man as Mr.. Milligan should once get into the
Office Of county clerk, 1t would be impossible
to get him out again. They hate Mr.. Mill
gan because they fear him, know they can't
use lnni, and know also that with such men
in office there is no chance for scalawags.
There is and can be no objection to Mr..
Milligan on any other score. His character is
above rcproach and his ability is admitted on
oil hands, He has been resident of this
county for sixteen years. A portion of that
time he taught school in Ottawa, and eked
out living on his meager salary by writing
in the circuit clerks and county clerk's~ Office
between times. It is but just tribute to his
abilitySas clerk to state that while Mr.. Nash
was circuit clerk, he was in the habit of put
ting aside certain portions of his work. that
he would entrust only to careful hands, for
Ar. Milligan to do in those between hours
Mr.. Milligan has also seen hard work on the
farm, and no man who has ever been on his
farm will ever say that he shirked his work.
As sheriff of this county he was elected by 400
majority when there was republican major
ity of 1900 to overcome, and he discharged
the duties of the Office with such signal ability
and so acceptably to the public, that had the
law permitted his reelection, it is admitted
that, with all the vast republican majority
against him, he would have been hard man
to beat,
No democrat who has any regard for con-
sistsncy or principle can vote against Mr..
Milligan: no labor union man who knows
who his friends are will vote against Mr.. Mil
ligan: and no man Of any party, who is sin.
cerely desirous Of seeing the important office
OF county clerk held by a man at once O:
marked ability and sterling worth, will hest.
tate to vote for him in preference to such OPP
ponents as II. L. Mead or hopeless Dan Evans.

QuAKERs VS.. INDIANs-The radicals give
Grant credit for having done huge thing in
appointing a committee Of Quakers to squclch
the Indians out west. The "Broad -brims "
have had lively time. Besides spending a
couple OF millions of the peoples dollars, dis
tributing many barrels Of +" fire water and u
few thousand pounds of tobacco, they have
done little else, and, in the meantime, the no.
bic red men of the praries continue TO want
killing as bad as ever. They never fail to get
their due number of scalps, notwithstanding
the friendly protests of the Friends against
these somewhat Objectionable proceedings by
their red brethren. - - sAa- : .-F
