ETHE ANNEXATION MEMORIAL.
! Tie House on the 18th passed the
following memorial, BY vote Of 6f-
teen 70 eight:
70 the Honorable, the Senate and
House Of Representatives Of the United
States: Your memorialists, the House
Of Representatives of the Legislative
Assembly Of the Territory Of Idaho,
respectfully represent: That all u
that portion Of said Territory, en-
braced and included within the boun-
danes hereinafter set forth. and con-
stituting what is known as North
Idaho, is so situated in relation to The
south and southeast portion of said
Territory, as TO render their political
union impracticable, for the reason
that nature has divided them by a
high and rugged range of mountains.
over which there is no road, except
such as will admit Of the passage Of
riding and pack animals, and this only
for about six months Of the year.
The remaining six months the snow is
80 deep as to cut off all communities
tion between said sections, except by
telegraph or travel by a circuitous
route, through Washington Territory,
across the Umatlla Indian Reserva-
ton and through the State of Oregon,
d distance Of about 500 miles; and
this is the only route, at any season Of
the year, over which the people of the
north can reach the capital, except it
be on horseback or snow shoes. Po-
liticalIy, the two sections are united;
socially, commercially and geographi-
cally, they never can be.
We, your memo ialists, therefore,
respectfully. but urgently pray, that
when the Territory of Washington is
admitted into the Union that all that
portion of Idaho Territory, herein
after more particularly described, be
attached to and made part of the
State Of Washington, to-wit: All
tbat portion Of Idaho Territory em-
braced in the following boundaries:

ED. WoRtD: Legislation moves
slowly but fast enough. At least many
think SO. no doubt. A memorial passed
the House yesterday. by vote Of
Is to s, asking for the annexation Of
Northern Idaho to Washington Terri
tory Al soon as the latter becomes q
State, 1t was quite unexpected and
has caused considerable excitement,
and ~ it was o House Memorial, the
Hon. Council cannot have any say
His Excellency, the Governor, has
again vetoed the second Bear Lake
Bill, as it is called, and our eastern
friends are unhappy.

for consideration, but they were gem
orally referred to Committees. There
is vast amount Of work in the hands
of the different committees, and will
soon be brought before the House, and
b's passed Or rejected, as the case may
be.
We had quite an interesting meet
ing Oh last Saturday evening in rela-
ton TO building free bridge across
Boise river at this place, and building
= road from some point on the Over
land Road to Bellevue in the Wood
River country. Committees we're ap-
pointed to solicit subscriptions, and
report to an adjourned meeting next
Saturday evening. There is but little
doubt that the enterprise will be car
RED into effect, and that at no very
distant day.
Our new Secretary arrived to-day
but he has not yet Come around, and
so cannot say what he is like. His
coming has been looked for with
good deal Of interest, as all the Legis-
lative funds arc subject to his orders.
Mrs. Packard is still sojourning
with us. Ramon says she will try an
other bill xxx.
