In front Of the Force school house, On MasSa-

ton by the Parking Commissioners, the police
and Mr. White, the teacher In charge OF that
school, which resulted In finding that some OF
the pupils were the guilty parties. The sym
metry OF that fine row of undens, which has
COST so much to have planted there, has thus
been marred by the probable killing of four or
five trees which viii have to be replaced by
young ger ones. The case having been brought
to the attention Of Major Brock he has given
orders TO have the guilty boys punished and 1t
is hoped that this course will be pursued In
every case OF the kind.

that be was thrown from horse, as a horse

Railroad SurYcYs.

LEWISTON, September 12th.-Msjor Truax
and party, who went out to examine the APP
proaches to the Lo Lo Pass of the Bitter
Root mountains for railroad purposes. ar
rived here from these mountains last night,
highly elated with his success. He reports
that the entrance hight of the summit at the
pass is only 4,S97 feet above the sea level and
the route up the Lo Lo fork of the Clear
water to within fifteen miles of the summit
as good, the maximum grade of no point ex-
ceeding so feet per mile, and the maximum
grade of no poiut on the last fifteen miles ex-
ceeded 100 feet per mile, and he believed that
this can be reduced TO 70 or so from the
Clearwater river to the summit of the pass it
was but little over 700 feet. From the sum-
NIT east to the Bitter Root river was an easy
grade. Another party is out viewing another
pass to the south of this, that is deemed to
be several hundred feet lower, called the
Skakaso." The examination of Truax has
dispelled the theory of the Northern Pacific
surveyors, who asserted that no railroad pass
existed south of the Pen d'Oreille This will
shorten the railroad line from Ainsworth east
to the mouth of the Bitter Root river, and to
Missoula, over 100 miles. 1t is confidently
expected that the Northern Pacific Com
pany, upon receiving the official report of
this examination of Truax, will soon adopt
this route and construct road up the Clear
water

1t is now believed that Burton, the
Arizona stagerobber, is plumber in dis
guise.
The grape crop of this region of country,
which gave promise of being more than
usually abundant, is being very seriously
affected by mildew, and there is danger
that the crop will be almost an entire fail
ure. Joseph Perrin considers that his crop
is about ruined, and the same is true in

being affected in the same way, but he took
the precaution to burn sulphur under the
vines, and thereby checked the progress
of the blight, he using over 100 pounds of
sulphur for this purpose. MIR. Paine at

As broom.corn is raised in Sutter county
to a considerable extent, the following
item in relation to the probable future ex.
tended use of that product may be of in
terest to our farmers Broom-corn is likely
at no distant day to revolutionize the
breadstuff of the world. A process has
been discovered by which the finest and
most delicious -four can be made from the
seed to the extent of one-half its weight,
and leave the other half valuable food
for making beef and milk. The average
yield per acre is 800 bushels, and in many
instances 500 bushels, or $4,000 pounds,
have been secured. Nor does it exhaust
the soil as Indian corn, from the fact that
it feeds from the deeper soil and assimi-
lates its food from cruder state. 1t be-
longs to the same genus as the sweet cane,
commonly known as sorghum. which as an
article of food is growing rapidly in public
esteem, and from the seed of which a
most nutritious flour can be obtained. -.
