A ROLLING TEAM. WIN. Vernon on Fri.
day last started down the hill opposite the
town with wagon and four horses, and
when proceeding along the rim rock grade the
wagon slid off the grade. dragging the team,
and rolled over several times, Vernon him
self was thrown out at first and as good
luck had it, rolled fast1r than the wagon
and thus was saved a crushing.
Grostein & Binnard are going to try cob
bic stone laid i'll water proof cement, as a
foundation for their new building. With
good cement, properly mixed with cobble
stone and properly laid, and dried we do
not see why such foundation may not well
supercede the use of other rock and
be durable.
Our FUTURE. Under the above caption
we publish on our outside an article read by
Judge Buck before the Literary Society OF
this place last Saturday evening. 1t is both
logical and practical and presents true rela-
tons of the people of the town and country,
in regard to the construction of roads and
bridges and ought to be convincing to all
reasonable minds.
STEAMHoAr.-M. II. Leitch Esq, of Leitch
vile, writes us of date Jan. "a, saying thai
he delivered "A load of baled hay and oats t.
the steamboat at Wa-wa-wa last week, fo
the company, and that Capt. Gray told hin
that the boat would be up again the last o
this week or the first of next, and procce,
as far as Lewiston with some freight. Tn
recent cold snap may prevent.
Coop BY KEILY.-The b. Statesman an
nouncing the passage of the annexation me
mortal, heads the announcement with til,
phrase: Good by North Idaho in which
heconcedes that he has let gohis grip upon us
We in turn respond in like terms Good b,
Kelly" Our purse strings are now so stron,
that they are proof against your further rob
berries of the people of North Idaho.
!
REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL.-It seems tina
the general bent of the sentiment in the pre-
sent legislature is to the effect that the rusl
of population to the Wood river section o
Idaho will soon demand removal of tn
capital of Idaho to that section. That sucl
a removal is only question of time Tn
power of Boise City is evidently on the de
cline, and with this decline Kelly's ring i
broken and his property castles in Boise Cit,
will become the abode of bats and owls.
