Railroad Earnings.

The annual report of the gov
ernment directors Of the Union
Pacific railroad states that the
gross earnings of the company for
1880 are estimated at SO, 100000,
of which the branch lines only
earned about 50, 100000. The
Union division probably earned
$l5,750,OO0, and the Kansas di-
vision $G.7j0,O0O, showing an IN
crease ever the previous year OF
$2,549,00O for the former, and 4
large proportionate increase for
the latter. This is accounted for
by the fact that consolidation
stopped competition, and allowed
business 10 20 into lts natural
channel Of transportation. The
operating expenses for 1880 are
estimated at II per cent. on the
Union division. and about 30 per
cent. on the Kansas division, in
cluding renewal and taxes. The

often the case that we find teams

Idaho

seine ways most attIacliNe, Dut
least known of the territories. Its
elevation is from 2OOO feet above
sea-level in the lower Snake river
valley, to 10000 feet on top OF its
mountains, a large part lying above
the altitude of 1000 feet. The
higher parts are broken up into
ranges, in many places very steep
and rugged. Below these are high,
rugged hills, upon which nutritious
grasses are found, aifording vast
pasture lands. Still lower are the
table or sage-brush lands, rich
in soil and, when properly irrigated
and cultivated, producing large
crops of cereals and vegetable and
various fruits. The mountains
usually are covered with forests of
pine, fir and other timber. OF
swift, noble rivers and deep, placid
lakes, Idaho has scores. Snake,
Salmon, Clearwater, Boise, Koot-
MIA, Bear, Raft, Weiser, Payette
and other streams, are clear, strong
streams, worthy of their home.
OF the total area of 5S.22S,l60
acres, about 12,OO0,OO0 are arabic,
25,000,0O0 pasture land, 10000
timber lands, and the rest consist
ing of mineral lands, inaccessible
peaks and lava beds. The ca
pacity of soil and climate for a
wide range of productions may
best be Judged from the fact that
not only do all the cereals and
vegetables that grow north of the
cotton lire in the east flourish
here, but Idaho fruit is pronounced
very superior. Fruit trees and
vines grow very rapidly. The
long, dry summers; abunSanc,
of sunlight; warm sandy
soil with perfect under drainage
and the plentiful water supply
afford all conditions necessary fol
rapid growth of orchards and vine
yards. Mercury rarely falls to II
below zero in any Of the valleys
and that only during the coldes
nights Of winter. Idaho has the
same bright skies, summer anC
winter, the equable temperature
and cool summer nights so com
mon to the Rocky mountains
with a tinge of the semi-tropics
blasts of the Pacific. Cattle. sheer

possibility of blowing off the steam

Low Dog at Fort Burord.

Itappears from recent Correspondence
at the department of interior, that last
summer Low Dog, a. Sioux Indian,
meeting a mail carrier near Tongue
river, Montana, murdered him and
robbed his person and mail. Low Dog
was subsequently found in possession of
a package of letters and property of the
carrier, and confessed the crime, but
eluded arrest and joined Sitting Bull
across the line. Last month he came
in with small party of Sioux and sur
rendered to the military at Fort Buford.
The civil authorities thereupon mani
Tested a purpose to bring him to trial
for murder, but the officer commanding
at Fort Buford protested, saying such
a proceeding would prevent the surren-
der of Sitting Bull, which was certain
otherwise to take place in few days.
The departments of war, interior and
justice, accordingly united in ordering
the marshal not to make the arrest.
The post office department, whose en-
ploye was murdered, don't seem to have
been invited to participate. At all
events Low Dog is comfortably con-
suming good rations, and Sitting Bull
is still at large in Canada.

Denver, Col, May 81. Stlckney,
a mining man, entered the boarding
house corner of Seventeenth and Stout
streets while the boarders were seated
at the table, and pulled revolver and
opened fire on NJ. T. Campau, real es-
tate agent. Two shots struck Campau.
causing instant death, and another
pierced Mrs. Devereaux through the
heart. 1t is said Campau has for some
time had improper relations with Mrs.
Stickney, but was drawn on by her for
blackmailing purposes, and that two
months ago be was compelled at the
point of dagger by Stickney, to sign
notes amounting to 800 that he
paid several, then refused, and could
not be compelled to pay the remainder,
because no consideration was stated In
the notes. Since then Stickney several
times threatened Campau's life. The
shooting Of Mrs. Devereaux was acci-
dental. The murderer is in Jail.

Louisville, May 3l.-Holney Hull
was shot and instantly killed at Cynthi-

Alexander Odor. Hull married Odor's
sister, and though she died ten years
ago the two men have had i'll feelings
towards each other all that time, grow
ing out of quarrel. The murder has
the appearance of deliberation. Odor
came to town armed with double
barrelled shot gun, loaded with buck
shot. Finding Hull he called out to
him "are you ready ?" and fired. The
first shot brought Hull to the ground,
and Odor then deliberately fired ano-
ther barrel into his head, tearing it into
fragments.

ment. This is indeed a miserable
failure. The two runaways from the
senate, who saw themselves in imagi-
nation returning crowned with laurels
of victory, and "yindication", find
themselves the only impotent chiefs of
the petty faction. Win they now retire?
Nothing but disaster to the republi-
can party can result from their contin.
uing in the field. We trust that among
the 36 members who attended the rump
caucus, there are number of sensible
and patriotic men, who having done
their full duty in the way Of allegiance
to their late chief, will now insist that
he and his colleague take themselves
out of the way and cease to disturb
the harmony of the party.

Ridieuleus Failure OF the Monetary
Conference.

New York. May Bit is reported
from Warrington that Evarts' dis.
patches to the state department are in
a discouraging tone, and that he ap-
pears to have abandoned all hopes OF
the main proposition submitted to the
conference. 1t must be an evident
event to himself that there is no pos.
sibility Of getting an understanding on
the absurdity Of the radical PROPOSE.
tions put forward by himself and asso-
ciates. One after another the pleasant
indications INDUCED in of the co-opera-
tion Of England and Germany, have
come to grief. The unpleasant proba-
bility is that the enterprise in which the
American government entered with
such light heart will prove not only
fiasco but one not only free from the
appearance Of being ridiculous.
