CURRENT NEWS.
THE annual tea crop of the world is
691, 100000 pounds.

FIREARMS frequently burst when the
muzzle has been accidentally closed
with earth, snow, etc. Prof. Forbes
explanation of this fact is very simple.
# the charge moved slowly a very
slight pressure of air in the barrel would
be sufficient to clear the muzzle, but as
the charge actually travels with a speed
more.than the velocity of sound, the re-
sistance offered by the obstacle becomes
excessive and the gun bursts. 1t has
been demonstrated mathematically that
the pressure generated by plug of the
density of air, is seven and half tons.

AT the recent Inauguration of th
statute Of Theirs, experiments were
made with a balloon to ascertain to
what extent signals could be under
stood. The aeronauts made the sig
nails with flag, and the experimenters
on the earth at the distance of nearly
four miles, received them on mirror
and translated them, the Morse alpha
bet being used for the purpose. The
results show that there is little difficult
ty in communicating with a besieged
town possessing a captive balloon, for
the signals could have been observed at
a greater distance.

CASUALTIES.

A COLUMBUS, Ohio, dispatch of the 18th
inst. says the new bridge over the Big
Walnut Creek, on the Sunday Creek Val
ley railroad, about ten miles from this
city, fell last evening, with a terrible
crash, distance of forty feet, into the
water. Eight workmen were on the
bridge at the time, and their escape from
death is miraculous. Five of the men
were slightly injured. A defective trestle
caused the accident.

Al SUGGESTION TO OUR MER-
CHANTS.
Boise City Republican.

Boise G1Gy 1epublican.
During the past week we have in
terviewed Mr.. james Monroe, gen
tleman who has large interests in Ban
ner, and who is thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the resources Of that region,
as well as with the object Of which he
is an earnest advocate, regarding the
building Of q wagon road to connect
Yankee Fork and Boise City. To the
merchants and every other person in
terested In the welfare of our city, the
subject of establishing commercial re-
lations with outside mining districts
and securing their trade ought ever
to be one 10 which their greatest at
|tention should be given. The pros
|perity of our city and its future prog
ress will always lie on mild scale
until we are aroused to decree Of
enterprise betting our prospects and
natural advantages. To sit idly down
and wait for business to come to us
will destroy all our chances of becom-
ling anything more important than a
mere place for holding Legislative as
semblles. From its natural location
Boise City should command the trade
| of all the region embraced within the
limits of Idaho south of Nez Perez
county and west Of Oneida county. and
by an exhibition of enterprise will Sc
cure it. All over the Territory settle
ments are springing up and new ave-
naes OF trade opened, which should be
Of great benefit to some central point.
10 nearly every one of them Boise
City stands in that position by loca-
ton, and it yet remains to be- seen
whether our merchants will make it So
permanently. The Districts of Ban
ner and Yankee Fork, and their inn
mense wealth in minerals, as well as
the vast forests of timber of Alturas,
Boise, Lenlhi and Idaho counties would
all be made tributary to our city by
the completion of a good wagon road,
and the few thousands now inv sted
would yield q return Of millions.
1t seems to be we'll assured fact
that we will have railroad commune
cation with the outside world within
the next two years, and this result can
be better obtained by an increase in
the number of distric made tributa
ry to Us. The region comprised in
the four counties above mentioned is
undoubtedly the richest in natural re
sources of any IN the Territory, and its
present outlook is more favorable than
any other portion of the Pac fc Coast
Yankee Fork will he the leading camp
of Idaho during the present year, il
all accounts of the emigration tending
in that direction are true, and it's trade
will prove Of inestimable value. Mr.
Monroe says the load can be built fol
less than $4,000, and placed in an ex
celent condition. A portion Of this
amount can probably be raised in Bo
nanza City. but the majority should
be raised here, as we viii derive the
greatest benefit. Let all our business
men respond to the call upon then
generously and we will take another
step in advance.
