A correspondent Of the Salt Lake
Tribune, writing from the railroad
crossing of the KeIton stage road,
says: TO come, to see, to conquer the
minor difficulties of life, is compar-
atively easy affair; bnt to conceive, to
plan and execute SO prodigious an IN
dertaking as the construction of a
railroad across the arid plains and
through the rocky hills Of Idaho Ter
rltory; to conquer the stubborn resis-
lance of the vast beds Of lava rock, toll
say nothing Of kind Of cement
Astounding, is an enterprise so stupen-
dous that none but those who are daily
eye witnesses to the prosecution and
progress of the work can fully realize
It's immensity. Such ali undertaking
was the Oregon Short Line Railroad
Company. From American Falls Ito
which point and little farther west
ward, the road is Completely to Boise
city, and almost within sight of each
other, may be seen hundreds of con-
struction camps, with their hor,les of
teams and men, blasting, blowing,
slushing, shaking, picking and show
cling. and rushing forward to compile
ton another thread in the great net
work Of American railroads
1t has been officially decided that
Haley shall be the terminus of the
standard gauge Wood River branches
of the Oregon Short Line; this blancI
will leave the main line at the Littl,
Wood River crossing, about 60 mile,

full, although there are several thous

LOWER PAYETTE LETTER.
EMMETTsvILLE, Oct. II. 1882.

Ed. WoRLD:-poubtless a few items
from this little hamlet would be of in
terest to the readers of your lively
little paper. Politics are very quiet
here, which goes to show that the peo.
pie are doing their own thinking, and
have their minds made up. From
present Indications | should Judge that
Hon. j V. +. Witt, Republican NOM
inee for the Council, former very
popular resident Of your county, will
go from this river with such rousng
majority that his opponent, Dr.. j. b.
Wright, will find it exceedingly hard
to overhaul him. One reason for this
is, the Democrats failed to give us a
candidate from this river. Another
reason, and strong one is, Mr.. Witt
has never been mixed up with the pol
itics of this county. and his opponent
too much so. Ii is hard to guess how
the rest of the candidates will fare, so
| will leave that for your readers to
guess. Messrs. Wardwell & Knox are
Engaged in taking out a ditch to run
from the farmers mill ditch across and
down the valley about miles to some
land they have taken up near future
Imaginary railroad station. The
Iatter's (Mr. Knox's) main object,
think, is to furnish rapid water con
necton with the celebrated packet
that sails up "Salt Rivel" ON the Sti
of next month.

Will He Hang.
Bellevue Sun.


Considerable speculation is being in
duTgcd in as to whether Samuel Ridge
way viii really be hung, or whether
his sentence will be committed. At
the July term of the District Court be
was convicted of murder in the first
degree AMI sentenced TO be hung on
the 22d of September. The case was
carried on appeal to the Supreme
Court, at the Territorial Capital, and
the result was that the judgment of
the Court at our county seat was re-
affirmed. We understand that petit
tons were forwarded to Governor
Neil, and he accordingly reprieved his
sentence until the Goth of this month,
when, if nothing is done, he will hang
at Haley There was quite conflict
of testimony on which he was convict
ed, and we learn that bis friends con.
| tend that they were mitigating cir
cumstances, At any rate, heavy
pressure is said to be brought on the
Governor to commute his sentence tC
Imprisonment for life in the Territori
al penitentiary, and it would not b,
surprising if he granted it. Ridge
way is the man who killed rather +;
noted character, known as Curly o
Sherwood, familiar to large humble
of the old citizens of the Territory a

cumstancas Of the killing, which tool

The following, in relation to the
Snake River Land Bill, taken from the
Statesman, contains some plain, unpol-
ished facts that every voter IN idaho
should carefully read:
'In the first place, this bill gives to
the corporation the control of at least
$4,000 square miles, portion beng
in Nevada and Oregon, but the larger
portion being in Idaho Territory.
Second, it gives to the corporation
the control of every spring, creek, riv'
er and water course which leads into
the Snake river, Boise river and
streams iutting into Boise river, at
such points on Snake river and Boise
river as from the topography OF the
country may he deemed most suitable
for diverting the waters of said rivers
and streams.
Third, it grants to said corporation
every even alternate section OF lane
not heretofore granted and sold, no
even excepting from the grant lands
settled upon and occupied by aetna
