The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1881-09-16

The railroad difficulties at Butte seem
farther than ever from a settlement. Through
the efforts of couple Of energetic citizens
a committee of arbitrators was appointed
last week, and the damage that would be sus
tanned by the placer claims presented to their
consideration They awarded damages to
the amount of about $4,000 The railroad
company then refused to pay more than
one-haf of these damages. Then the
two energetic citizens - NJ essrs. D'Acheul
and Foster-attempted to raise the balance
from the citizens. They got 1900, and then
gave up in despair. Now the placer land
owners take umbrage and demand higher
damages, and new claimants come in. When
too late the railroad company steps forward
and offers to pay the Sc, 900 and build to Butte,
II 1t can be done without having any trouble
about the right of way. 1t further agrees to
let the 81 300 raised by the citizens go toward
paying the new and increased claims. But
MessIs. D'Acheul and Foster, the only citi.
zens OF Butte who seem 10 be taking anvinter-

for such tickle and apathetic people, and the |
subject remains in statu quo. To this COM |

RAILROAD NOTES,
AS They are Picked up Promis-
cuouSly.

If Major Truax has, rs Is surmised, been
successful in finding practicable railroad
pass through the Bitter Root mountains by
ascending the Clearwater river, our readers
may look for the speedy construction of at
least one railroad uia that pass into the i'm
mediate vicinity of Walla Walla In three
years from this fall we expect to see the pro-
ducers of Eastern Washington offered "com-
petition freight rates" on their wheat and
other produce. God speed the day.-Watla

The Idaho, Clearwater and Montana
Transportation Company" is booked to
build road through the "Skalkaho" pass
of the Bitter Root mountains. Such q pass
is unknown to the whites in the Bitter Root
valley, but the MissouIian Interviewed some
Indians last week with the result of finding
that ait is a low divide, and so shortens the
distance into the Lapwai country that the
Indians pass over it in the winter on snow
shoes in from five to six days There is no
beaten trail over the route, as on account of
so much fallen timber the Indians cannot
take their horses with them. Whether it
will be found feasible for railroad route
will be better known when the party of sur
veyors sent out some time since from Lewis
ton make their report. All accounts agree
that the pass is very much INSTRUCTED by
fallen timber, which would tend to show
that it is good country for avalanches"

Mr.. James Gamble in n letter to the San
Francisco Bulletin from Bozeman, wrote as
follows: AFTER u thorough examination of
the pass by Mr.. Cakes and his engineers, it
was decided to adopt the Mullan pass, and
work will be commenced npon the tunnel As
soon ~ machinery can be procured, and the
work will be prosecuted through the winter
This route brings the road olt on the west
side of the mountains near the Little Black
foot river, and north of Deer Lodge and
Butte City, which will be a disappoi ntrnent
to the people of both places, as the Pipcstone
route would have taken in both places. But,
all things considered, the Helena route was
decided to be the best and most economical
in all respects. A branch line will be built,
however, to take in both Butte and Deer
Lodge City by the time the main line is com
pleted."

Acknowledgement.

A traveller in South America witnessed
not long since singular combat. He
was musing.One morning with his eyes on
the ground, when he noticed a caterpillar
crawling along at rapid pace. Pursu-
ing him was a host of small black ants.
Being quicker in their movements, the
ants would catch up with the caterpillar,
and one would mount his back and bite
him. Pausing the caterpillar would turn
his head and bite and kill his tOrmentOr.
After Strengthening dozen or more of
his prosecutors the caterpillar showed
signs of fatigue. The ants made COM
bined attack. Betaking himself to a
stalk of grass, the caterpillar climbed
up. tail first, followed by the ants. As
one approached he seized it in Wis jaws
and threw it off the stalk. The ants, see
ing that the caterpillar had too strong a
position for them to overcome, resOrted
to strategy. They began saving through
the grass stalk. In a few minutes the
stalk fell and hundreds of ants pOunced
upon the fallen caterpillar. He was kill
ed at once, and the victOrs marched off
in triumph, leaving the foes body on the
fold

CONDENSED TELEGRAMs,

AT Yorktown on the 18th, the Gen.
tennial ceremonies began with an imposing
procession of Masons and persons Of distinc-
ton, including President Arthur, who was
loudly cheered on the march to the grand
stand, Cabinet officers, Congressman, Ma
tional Guards, and Army and Navy officers,
who were attended also by the troops of
all arms. When all had taken the
places assigned them the ceremo-
mics were opened with prayer by
Rev. Robert Nelson, grandson of Governor
Nelson, who commanded the Virginia mill
itia at Yorktown. He thanked God for the
100 years OF blessings vouchsafed this coun-
try, for Washington, for our allies, and for
our victory, and prayed that the people of
this land might not pride themselves
too much upon their own achieve
ments and prosperity, but that they
might thank and trust the Lord.
AT the conclusion Of the prayer the band
played the Star Spangled Banner, with ar
tillery accompaniment. Governor Holiday,
OF Virginia, then delivered the address of
welcome. His illusions to the unity of
sentiment, purpose and destiny OF all
sections of our common country were
greeted with enthusiastic applause.
United States Senator j. w. Johnston, of
Virginia, Chairman of the Congressional
Commission, then made a few appropriate
remarks, in which he sketched the history
of the surrender, read from the original
documents an account of the action of
Congress at the time, and exhibit
ed the sword voted to the messenger
who bore the news of the surrender.
Workmen, under the direction of the Grand
Master of Virginia, then laid the corner
stone, according to the ancient and honora-
BILE rite. Judge b. r. Wexford, of Virginia,
the Masonic orator, made an eloquent adj
dress, at the conclusion of which the cer-
cmonies ended, The pyrotechnic display at
night was magnificent. AL the war ships
were brilliantly illuminated, presenting u
beautiful sight.
The Mississippi at Keokuk is two

The residence of Il. Mccarthy, at
Cooks Corners, Franklin County, n. y,
burned the other night, and four children
persisted in the flames.
AT Cincinnati, on the 18th, Maria
Donahue, twelve years old, resorted to the
oil-can in kindling fire. She was fatally
burned.
