A CANARD.

Several Of our exchsnges, and papers
that We do not recognize in this way,
have, for tho past three weeks, con-
tanned the positive information that
H. NJ. Mccartney, the engineer of the
Pen d'Oreille division, had been re.
moved from the service of the North
ern Pacific railway. From an official
source we have the informa-
lion direct that there is not one word
Of truth in the report, and q little in.
vestigation elbows that it originated in
the Seattle Infelligencer, and to have
been matter Of personal spite. The
Lewiston TELLER editor, whose affinity
il the "Pass" question, very solemnly
announces the news and asserts that
the removal was caused by Mr., Nc.
Cartney's inability to discover the
Clearwater pass in 1879. 1t is only
due Mr.. Mccartney that the papers
which have published the canard,
should now give the truth.-Spokane
Chronicle.
The TELLER at the same time, said
that Mac. was not to blame for his fail
ure to End the pass. Having seen the
announcement in several of our ex-
changes that Mac had been removed
and that another man would soon be
appointed in his stead, we queried
Why, for we had always understood
that he was faithful and efficient en-
gineer, and from our personal acquain-
lance with him We thought him
to 30 . gentleman. We are
glad to learn that the report Of
his dec pitation is not true. The af.
Unity Of the TELLER for the pass seems
to be an eye sore to our Bro. of the
Chronicle. If therefore the TELLER
is one Of his exchanges which our Bro.
''does not recognize" future develop
ments viii be likely to increase his dis
position not to recognize.

WILL THEY BUILD
We are frequently asked whether

mot the o. r. Il N. Co. intend to build
line of rail road through the Bitter
Root mountains via. the Clear Wate'
river, and if SO, whenl To answer this
question it must be addressed to some
one who knows 10 re about the real
plans of that company than we do. So
far ,heyshave publicly decl'raa n such
intention. Willard, on being inter
viewed in San Francisco, said that bis
company had long intended to supply
Lewiston and vicinity with rail read
facilities, bu, it had not determined
yet by what route they would reach
Lewiston, whether via. Moscow, Pa
tsha or Snake river But nothing was
given as to the time when that part of
their programme would be commenced
and carried out. Tho fact that Willard
md the capitalists who came with him
from the East this fall, did not visit
lewiston and vicinity nor any part Of
this section, would indicate that this
section was not prominent in their
minds, and that they do not intend to
move early in this direction. The
question then follows: What mean the
surveys new being made up the Clear
Water under Villard's directions2 An
answer to this can only be conjecture
from an outsider, Truax made hasty
examination of this route through the
Bitter Root to Missoula last summer
via. the Lo Lo Pas, and as we under
stand made favorable report. 1t was
then question Of doubt whether he
did this under the direction Of Willard

port was based by the o. r. l. N. Go. no

y one thing that is a mystery to some,
and that is. that soon after Beall had

the mountains further south, that com
pany sent up Zanier and party Of eigh-
teen men n commence surveys from
"Kamia East upon the north side Of
tho Middle Fork Of Clear Water. We
interviewed Mr.. Zanier when here aud
the most We could learn from him was
that he was ordered to spepd tho win.

reported against its practicability,
TruAx should have reported it so favor.

by the dial OF q compass, the needle

CURIOUS FREAK

or an Electric Bot Upon the stack a
the Water Works.
Our readers have doubtless often read
OF the many curious freaks OF lightning,
but We have now a case in point. The
electric fluid seems to have quite q
fancy for the water works. Or perhaps
the quantity OF iron and steel machin.
cry has fancy for the lightning,
but at all events the two
have met several times. During
the ON, night before last, the men
on duty at the works noticed that many
OF the flashes were in startling proximi.
ty, but nothing was thought OF II, as
such occurrences were not infrequent
The next morning, however, il was
noticed that the stack was several de.
grees ont IF plumb, and further search
revealed the fact that the lightning had
struck into the bank near by and
by loCs ~ the f uldat:ons, caused the
tilt, con veriiDg the stack into a leaning
tower of Pisa. The bricks, near by,
were ripped and torn up by the force OF
the electric bolt.

the third or fourth time this stack has
been NOV, d by lightning. The next
time il will probably 90 clear over. At

Last Nights Reception.

One OF the most elegant receptions
ever given in this city was the one tend
cred the State Pharmaceutical Associa-
ton by the well known wholesale drug
house OF Laughlin Bros. & Co, uf this
city, last evening, at the handsome resi-
dence OF Samuel Laughlin, Esq, corner
of Chapline and Twelfth streets.
At an early hour the spacious halls
and parlors commenced TO fill and all
were greeted with an extended hand
and warm welcome. Messrs. Samuel
Laughlin, Alex. Cambell. 9. II. O1bert
and John l.. Laughlin, OF the firm, were
ably assisted by Mesdames Laughlin,
gilbert, Glessner and Campbell, and
the Misses Laughlin. The company
was composed entirely Of gentlemen
who chatted freely on association
matters, politics, religion, etc, formed
new acquaintance, revived old ones,
and enjoyed themselves generally.
Among the throng were observed State
and city officials, members OF the clergy
and press, and MANY prominent men
from throughout the State.
AT ~ o CLOCK Ine supper room was
thrown open, and truly it was a magniti-
cent sight. Cream, ices, cakes, straw.
berries and fruits, all arranged in artis-
tic style and good taste, greeted the eye /;
i, only acted as stimnlant to sudden
assault, and little knots Of people were
soon served by the numerous walters.
The caterer was Ziegsnfelder, and last
nights effort was never equaled.
The rooms were trimmed with flow.
ers and presented very pleasing ap.
pearance. At comparatively early
hour the guests departed. all carrying
with them recOllections OF an evening
most agreeably and PLEASANTLY spent.
1t was one of the pleasantest episodes o.!
the formation of the society and will be
lo2g remembered as such.
