There was one victim Of that Inv In his
city, one Au Tong. a worthless vagabnd
who managed by his prcfisats ways to get
his name OF the ''black hook, and he sas
consequently fired from the Chinese quarsrs
and hustled about on the street by his co,n'
trymen. who although jos.linS him abot
did not appear TO be aware Of his presence.
Finally the poor devil started Tor the railroad
camps, but has treatment there will untioubt-
him in the city. Much better would 1t I.
for An Tong 10 eud lis miserable l,fe at once
than be a perpetual onteast, bsne TO HIM
self and mark for contempt FOR his almond
eyed brethren.
From DAYTON Day and JAS Hunt
arrived in town yesterday from Dayton on
business. They report that the ties for the
railroad arc coming In pretty lively and are
the b-s: that have been received 1t any place
by the company. The DAYTON Wooden mills
will shortly change hands and come into the
possession OF Mrssrs- Frary and others. 1t
has been run for many months by Mr.. Frary
and has turned out most eXc-llent goods.
As regards the right o; way for the fume
things remain IA st,dao qsO. The large
amount asked for right OF way down 4
rocky canyon, which is of NJ earthly account
stops all progress and viii be III the highest
degree detrimental 10 the future Of Dayton.
Uuless this thing is settled very soou we
may confidently expect To See a division Of
Columbia county for the Reason that the Oh
st,nacy or avarice of few individuals Is
driving capital away from Dayton and anN-
Ious hands ar. already reaching out for the
advantages few are wiling to sacrifice for
their own selfish Interests. knpwing AS We
do what our own city Of Walla Waila has
lost in the past by the srIfishness OF a few
property holders We fear that the same fate
Is In store for Dayton snl unless change
for the b-tt=r takes place without more de-
lay she viii be- reiegatel from the future
manufacturing town she Is destined 10 he-
come, to 4 mere one horse .orn.
THE MoUXrAISEER We, are glad to no.
tice that this old established paper has dis
car!ed its patent outside hunbug and now
goes IT alone, anil is np to the standard OF
hrst-class newspaper. These patent arrange
ments are so many dissraccs 70 the news
paper fraternity. They rrin the business
and are more harm than good to the TOXINS
who support them. We hope inside of three
months 10 chronicle either the death OF i'm
provement AS per above OF every abortion
now living, which, usin: a patent OUTSIDE
calls itself newspaper.
From BoISE-On Thursday evening We
received visit from the Hon. J. B. Cowen
and Hon. J. VI. Hcd,ick, who have been to
idahos capital t, make laws for the people
Judging from their acts these gentlemen
have ncbly served their constituents. Mr.
Hearick, previous to his leaving, was pre-.
scnted with handsome cane beautifully
clouded in black and white. significant Of his
fairness IN voting Tor bills brought up by
each political party. Such gentlemen are
credit to Northern Iiaho.

Office in Washington Territory, is fully pre-
pared to execnte bo,k, job and card print

CHEAP FUEL.-Messrs Kirkmln / Dooley,
uur enterprising butchers. have gwen up the
use of wood as fuel aud are now suhstite tng

nese cooks, has also sent for cargo Of the
same, Oh the principle OF our Mississippi
steamboats, prior to the late 'onpleasantness"

gers"
R,GING.-Th, epizootic still prevails at
the Garrison and the cficer in charge Of the
horses should see that animals SO affected ar.
not allowed to come to the city AM, inter.
mingle with other horses. 1t might be a
god thing for vctirnary surgeons, so to do.
hut 1t is tough on tire farming community
and other owners of equinal brutes.
LOOK TO Ir.-Why are hot the signs over
hanging sidewalks taken down rs per ordin-
ance passed by the city council This ordin.
