RAILROAD SURVEYS.
Idaho Statesman


Mr.. Ii Thielson, chief engineer Of
the Oregon Pacific railroad to connect
the Union Pacific with the Pacific |
Ocean, and his assistant, Mr.. Camp
bell, arrived here, travelling ~ their
own private conveyance. III tic after
moon Of Saturday last They re-
NAMED here Sunday and Monday,
yesterday confering with the princi-
|pal citizens here, and gathering inior-
nation with regard to the country be-
tween this city and the present termi-
mus Of the Utah Northern. Their bus
mess here is to thoroughly examine.
the country and select the best route
| for the railroad, which is soon to he
built through this section Of Idaho.
They will leave here this morning ac-
lcompanied by some Of our citizens;
the entire party going together as far
as Litel's bridge on the Boise river,
ten miles above this city, where they
will separate; Mr.. Thielson and 9th
ers going to Little Camas Prairie by
the way Of the Overland road, while
Mr. Campbell and others will proceed
to the same point by the way Of the
Boise river 1t is virtually settled
that the road will come through Cam
as Prairie, whence here will be a
choice Of routes to be made between
the i,lttie Camas and tnis place The
route down Boise river is much the
shorter one and passes through we'll
timbered country, though there may
be Il section OF few miles of the road
where the grading will be somewhat
4 heavier than by the other route across
the Snake river PLAN. The entire dis
lance by the river route to Little Cam
as cannot exceed fifty miles, while by
the other it is between sixty-fve and
.seyenty. Railroad men regard tile
shortening Of distance as very impor-
| tant, not only on account Of addition
al cost OF construction, but also from
the fact that the additional miles Of
track will form for all time an addi-
tlonal expense iii running ami ia keep
ling the road in order The abundant
supply Of excellent timber along tho
river route will also be a strong rea-
son for selecting that route. These

TOO NARROw-MINDED,
Some Excellent Suggestions on Some o.
the Teachings Of IngersoU.
From a Sermon by Rev. Geo. W. Cooke.

Ingersoll pleads not only for liberty, but
for humaneness and a tender spirit. He
would have man greater; he would have
us live that man may be great and good.
There is no religion" he says, but good
ness, but justice, but charity. Religion is
not theory; it is life 1t is not intellectual
conviction; 1t is divine humanity, and
nothing else" That is the word of religion
to-day-divine humanity. To perfect man,.
to cheer his heart to tune his soul with in
finite harmonies, to make our vision of life
pure and beatifc, that is the work of relig-
ion. Such a religion the world still needs,
and always will need. For that religion let
us labor. Let us spread 1t forth faithfully
as we can. Well may we all become mis-
sionaries in its behalf well may we shout
its song and hymn its praise. The true
worship is growth ofmind the true prayer
an incoming of love 10 the heart; the true
hymn an attuning of the soul to the meas
ureless harmonics of existence. lngersoll
believes in progress, has faith in the steady
gain of man. every poet" he says, "has
pushed a superstition from the brain and
phost from the clouds. Every mechanic
art is an educator Every loom, every
reaper and mower, every press, every tel
egrapb, is a missionary of science and an
APOSTLE of progress Every mill, every
furnace, every building with its wheels and
levers,in which something is made for the
convenience, for the use and for the com
fort and elevation of man, is a church,
and every school-house is temple. Ii
NAV be that Ingersoll has no religion, but
faith in that which makes man lust, true
and good is better than any creed, nobler
than any church form, If he builds on
that foundation he will have heroic faith,
worthy of the noblest deeds and the sub.
limest sentiments. Can we think him
scofing doubter when he saws: "The idea
