THE TrprNGs OF DEATH.
Deer Lodge Testihes Its Deep sympathy for the
lead President.


At an early hour on Tuesday morning the
sad tidings were given forth to our people
"The President liz dead" Not less heavily
fell the blow that IL was threatened. We had
hoped when IL was hopeless, and yet were
reluctant to Weld even when we knew the
President lay dead by the sea In the east. ~
was not in words alone the grief was spoken )
there is an eloquence of sorrow they can
never bear In the mute sorrow OF acommon
woe. strong men and gentle women testified
10 IN. touch OF nature that makes the whole
world kin and wraps the tendrils OF nations
heart around the lives of the good and great.
The flags that dropped but midway on the
masts the sable folds that draped each build
ing; the children, awe-stricken, hurrying
home from scbool-doors closed; the silent
streets and Sabbath stiffness that prevailed
save when broken by the sad, slow stroke OF
,ollinc bells, we're but the signs and emblems
Of n sorrow too profound for aught save each
soul's own communing. No business was
transacted from ten o'clock till two, and all
business houses remained closed during those
bours: not by proclamation or resolve, but
nv spontaneous common consent The schools
were dismissed for the day, and during the
hour or noon all the bells were tolled; OUT
going coaches were draped, and every formal
tribute OF respect paid the memory Of the
martyr President. We had witnessed but
one scene like this 1t was in Pittsburg, 1.-THE
pac.bl,can Gibraltar Of the North, !" q Gov

RAILROAD WORK.

Proposed Extension by the Northern Pacific
Chinese Laborers.
PORTLAND (Or.e, Sept. AT. F. Cakes,
vice-President of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company, telegraphs as follows from
New York to the Oregonian:
The Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
in view Of the large volume of business ex-
pected on the opening of the through line
across the continent, has decided to construct
q line on the north side of the Columbia
river, from Ainsworth to the Dalles. The
work Ii TO commence on this division at
once.
From this dispatch there Is every reason to
suppose that the road will cross the Column
bia river just above the town Of the Dalles,
and then connect with the Oregon Railway
& Navigation Company's line, or will be con-
tinued on the Washington side to the same
point, crossing farther down. OF this, how
ever, there Is no positive knowledge. 1t IL
certain, from the resolution which the COM
parry has taken to build down the Columbia,
that the line across the Cascade mountains
to the north will not be undertaken yet.
The connection at Walla Walla with the
Oregon Railway IL Navigation Company Is
doubtless deemed insufficient for business,
inssmuch as the roads and branches Of the
latter company, penetrating so many parts Of
Eastera Oregon and Washington Territory,
will furnish all the business which the line
on the south side Of the river can readily
carry. Hence the Northern Pacific company
will construct this line on the north side for
the easier transportation Of their own
through and local lines.
Six hundred Cinnamon leff here for work
on the Oregon Railway & Navigation Com
pAny's railroad about Narreneale, four
miles below the Cascades. Superintendent
Hallett's men are coming down In consg der
able numbers, and the entire force will be q
wcsk below TIE Cascades before October IT.

RECEIPTS FROM LICENSES.

There are no other statistics in the Terri
tory that furnish so reliable an index OF It's
business as the receipts from licenses. or
these sixty per cent. are retained In the
Treasures Of the several counties wherever
they are collected, and forty per cent. 90 to
the Territorial Treasury. Below we give
comparative tables of the forty per cent.
paid into the Territory for corresponding
quarters of 1880 and 1881, showing the in
crease to that fund for the three months OF
the year has been S3,54s over the amount
paid IN last year. This shows that $3.50
more were collected In the several counties
during this quarter than during the cores
ponding quarter last year--an increase Of
over 80 per cent.

time. It is probable that station mile be-

To avoid collision with the Utah &

that point, and cross back again further on.

An old murder IN Lincoln, Placer County,
California, has just been unearthed. In
1877 man named Singleton visited friend
named Niles to collect 50 600 owed him by
Niles. The two were together day or two
and then Singleton disappeared. Niles said
that he had gone to Arizona, and Is the two
men were old friends and had crossed the
plains together nothing further was thought
Of the matter. Singleton, however. did not
appear, and lasety Niles was seen with gold
watch and other property known TO belong
to Singleton, and suspicion was aroused.
Shortly after Singlet0n's disappearance Niles
had filed up an old we'll on his place. He
had sold the place and last week the new
owner gave permission to have the old we'll
excavated. This was Gone and Singieton's
body found 1t the bottom. Niles has been

BRANDING CATTLE.

The coming benefactor of the
western cattle interest will be the
man who invcnts some way to dis
tinguish the ownership of cattle
without resorting TO the inhuman
practice of branding. Branding is
Objectionable on account of its cx-
IRENE cruelty, its Disagreement of
the animals, and its detraction from
the actual market value of the hides.
The split and mutilated ears and
disfigured sides of a large proper
ton of the cattle of the plains is a
reproach 10 the trade. The brands
frequently cover almost an entire
side of the animal, and are made
with an utter disregard to anything
except to make it distinctive ia its
LONELINESS. 1t is fortunate, howev-
er, hat brands are usually confined
to one side. as there is then one way
In which the steer can he looked at
with some satisfaction. 1t will be
remembered that the tanners con-
vention which met in this city last
winter entered a protest against this
practice. 1t seems that it is regarded
as necessary to mark these rowing
bands Of cattle in some way, but the
extreme to which branding is car
ricd is both brutal and uncalled for.
