The recent trip taken by the editor of
the STATESMAN to Northern Idaho has
been the subject Of much comment
owing to the positive fact that the
STATESMAN solved the mystery of the
supposed volcano before any other news
paper thought of doing it. In this We
did but follow in the footsteps Of James
Gordon Bennett of the n Y Herald and
Wilbur Story Of the Chicago Times, who
are sending out exploring expeditions a
all tunes. But for our own individual
energy the people Of the United States
would be in doubt to-day as to whether
the reported volcano existed or not
Its existence was reported even up to the
minute when, on the hurricane deck Of
bucking cayuse, we left Mount Idaho be-
hind us and penetrated the hitherto i'm
penetrabIe forests of the Salmon and
Clearwater range of mountains In our
travels from this city We exhausted every
possible means of locomotion from first
class railway car to stage coach, cayuse
and on the last three days We we're forctd
to 60 on foot and oftentimes crawled on
all fours. The Associated Press sent a
reporter out to follow US mp, but after he
arrived at Mount Idaho and finding US
gone he attempted to follow our trail, but
when out of sight Of Browns hotel he
began to consider the situation and re-
turned This is why the 0regoaiaa has
received no report, even after it reported
the existence of volcano. No less than
twenty days elapsed from the time the
undoubted explosion occurred to when
We started out, and yet that barefaced
Dragging sheet is content to allow its
readers to remain in ignorance Of the
cause. There is no doubt but that now
they will have a coOked-up, lying report
Of their own, but the fact remains that
the STATESMAN editor was the only one,
with the exception of two faithful old
time friends, who had the enterprise to
solve the mystery and assure the public
from personal experience that no volcano
or lava existed as reported by the Asso-
ciated press agent at Lewiston.

Continental Highways.

Viee-President r. F. Oakes, Of the
Northern Pacific, arrived in St. Paul,
yesterday, from the west, accompanied
by Gen. j. H. Hammond Of Evanston,
ILL.,, Mr.. James Gamble, late superinten-
dent Of the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany on the Pacific Coast, General Mana
ger Hsupt and Private Secretary Vermil-
yea
Mr Oakes Was not accessible to repor-
ters after his arrival, being fatigued with
iourneying. He will visit Minneapolis
this morning, rs he has never before seen
the city. and will return BY noon.
Gen Hammond was found at the Me-
tropolitan last evening, and although very
aesirious of retiring early, kindly received
the Pioassr Press reporter accedins a
lengthy interview, a portion of which is
herewith reported;
On the Pacific end of the line. theroad Is
finished from kslama up to Tacoma, W.
T.; thence there is branch thirty miles TO
Preyallup coal mines, and branch siH-
teen miles to Olympia; from Portland to
Spokane Falls about 40 miles, in which
is gap that will be closed by January !,
1882. This gap, by water, is traversed
by n line Of large steamers From Spo-
kane Falls to Lake Pend d'Orellle, txen-
ty-e;sht miles, grading and track laying
is going on. The lake Is crossed by
steamer. Above
IHR PASS THROUGH THE ROCKIES,
About which so much has been said, the
company prefer the Mullan pass to the
Pipestone. This is about 600 feet above
the ssa level II il is tunneled the tun-
mel will be little more than 3a00 feet
long. The Mullan pass is ufed every
winter by wagons and sleighs, there being
no serious snow interruptions To travel.
The engineers cover the line of the road
all the way from Duluth to the Pacific
Ocean. Very little of it is left that is not
located
In answer TO questions, Gen Hammond
stated there had been no change IN the
route through the Rocky mountdins, for
the reason that none had been settled
upon previous to adoption ct the Aulisn
pass

Encouraging Crime.

The assassin Guiteau. IN his yanity,
has written an autobiography. This is
not to be wondered at, but it is shameful
that the publishers are making high bids
for its possession. One enterprising firm
offers, in exchange Tor the copyright, to
insure Guiteau royalty on the sale Of
go, 900 copies. An eastern journal nov
echoes the respectable public sentiment
by saying - As the volume would be
utterly worthless, and without any hte-
rary merit, all decent people viii pray
that il may never see the light, especially
as there are more foolish and worthless
books IN nexis;ence now than there is any
occasion for Moreover, We do lot be-
lieve that many of the copies of the thing
would be sold, since the community
already knows quite as much ahcut Gut
eau as it wishes to know. There is moth
ing particularly interesting about him,
and, indeed, We have been surprised
somewhat at his complete lack of villain

In September Of last year there came to
this state from the east young man OF
fne personal appearance, plausible man
ners and pleasing address, who gave his
name - A. L. Grey, bringing With him
young wife. He located in Albany and
soon ingrstiased himself in the favor OF
the citizena He professed to have wealthy
connections in the east and expressed a
desire to engage IN business IN Albany,
stating that the necessary capital would
be furnished HIM by his relatives On
the 1st Of April last, when the late NJ Y
Brown retired from the management Of
the Dsmocrat, Grey formed partnership
with c. H. Stewart in the management
Of that paper and they also carried on n
real estate, loan and insurance business
Time passed and Grey professed to be
constantly expecting to receive the neces-
sary fun.ls to enable him TO purchase a
half interest in the Denccrat, but no
money came. On Thursday, August 26th,
he came to this city with the avowed pur-
pose of obtaining a sum of money which
he said Vas owing to him by some one
here, and with which he proposed paying
the iirst installment due Mr.. Stewart for
his interest in the Democrat, and nothing
has been heard of him since Fears were
entertained that hs had been foully dealt
with, but on inquiry it was found that he
had forged the name of John Turner "a
prosperous farmer living about ten miles
from town, who acted as agent for the
First National Bank of this city, and
through whom Stewart & Grey received
money to loan) to . check of Sl7O0 and
obtained the money from Mr. Connor,
banker in Albany. He had also drawn
81 ,0S0 deposited In the bank in the name
of the firm, and which was to have been
loaned to a customer as soon rs the neces-
sary arrangements could be effected. The
Herald says: Several Of cur storekeepers
are also said to be heavy losers TO
greater or lesser degree, he having OBJ
tanned extensive credit wherever he could
do 20, until some of them had already
shut down on him The blow is heavy
one to Mr.. Stewart, who is loser to the
amount of 1890 cash, which will have to
be made good; but We hope ha will be
able to pull through. The absconder
leaves \ wife and babe in this city, en-
tirely provided for, We believe. Mrs
Grey will have the heart sympathy Of
the community in this trouble which has
50 Unexpectedly come upon her. 1t is
here that he was married to his
wife in Minnesota under the name Of
North, and that he told her he must
change his name as he was wanted in
Mexico, and accordingly on arriving here
assumed the name Of Grey. He is evi-
IDENTIFY most consummate scoundrel and
We hope soon to hear of his arrest

Gen. Hancock's Behavior.

The reader must have been struck with
admiration at the propriety Of General
Hancock's behavior since President Gar
field received his serious wound, and viii,
We think, unhesitatingly endorse the fol-
lowing remarks of the indianapolis lnd-
Nc,cS.
Gen. Hancocks s conduct during the
calamity that has befallen the president,
is worthy OF all praise. His declining
invitations TO participate in celebrations
and merriments On the ground that his
superior officer and commander chief
of the army was So near TO his death,
springs from the sensitive, sympathetic
Instincts of thorough gentleman IL is
not impertinent to add that this action
seems to give color 10 the proposition that
a drum head court-martial might try
Guiteau for assaulting the commander
chief Of the army and navy, which the

As evidence of the enormous amount
of money which must be seeking invest
ment IN London, it may be stated that
during the month Of July subscriptions
to the amount of e33, 100000 were in
vited to new enterprises of various kinds,
not hitherto published, according TO
partial list given IN an English financial
paper. This includes, however, fl4, ,6O0,
600 of the new Italian loan, that amount
being placed in the hands OF Messrs.
Barring Brothers & Co. and Messrs. c. |.
Hambro & Son for negotiation in London.
This loan bears , per cent interest, and
the bonds are offered at 10 per cent. The

one -thirtieth each year, the interest upon
which is per cent. with a notification
that no bid under 81 per cent. will be ac-
