A very astute politician said to me
the other day: "If the miners of this
region propose to stick for IS cents
per tor, whether Clearfeld pays that
or not, they have made great mis-
Ike in showing their hand, for their
address to the Clarified miners is a
clear recognition of the necessity of
an equalization of wages" He in
ferred from the address that the
miners here would, of their own
accord, fall to the Clearfeld price if
the latter could rot BIZ brought up to
65 cents. 1t is clearly, he thought,
for the interest Of the region that the
price be kept up, provided that Clear
field can be brought to the same
figure. An article In the Times Of
last Saturday made certain state
ments, declared to be "semi. official"
which would seem to indicate the de-
termination Of the companies to make
fight fer an equalization Of wages.

EXTRACTS from trade papers, else
where given, indicate there is some
thing in the wind concerning an effort
to reduce wages here.
On the other hand, the miners APP
pear strong, united, compact and de-
termined to decline working at the
proposed reduced rate.
1t is to be deeply deplored that
the Clearfeld rate furnishes the COM
panies the pretext for the movement

not misrepresent him nor design to do
so. He contended that the executive
officers erred in requesting an advance
OF fifteen cents per to.,, basing his ar
gument upon their Overlook ing the
circumstance that the Clear field
miner digs but 1000 lbs. per ton Of
coal. Mistaken in his premises as he
yesterday admits, he was mistaken in
his conclusion. On the other hand,
all we said last week was that the ex-
ecutive officers made no misIak in
either case. II was not supposed that
"E. D." etc., was criticising the APP

measure OF propriety or policy, and
nothing in our remarks could fairly
be so cons rued.

Reports received last evening from
parties just in from below, give the
startling news of the murder Of two
Cinnamon near the stage road at the
crossing of Little Wood River.
The two Cinnamon murdered were
well known along the River, where,
during the summer, they have been
engaged the past two y ars with their
own four-horse wagon, vending vege-
tables and fruit to the dealers and
families in the various towns.
1t appears that they we're interested
with other Cinnamon in truck gardens
in Boise Valley. Having departed
from Haley three weeks ago last Sun
day for Boise and no word OF them
reaching the Cinnamon in Boise, two
Cinnamon were dispatched thence to
Wood River to look them up. Find
ing them gone on their way home, the
two Cinnamon went out over the road,
and at the point named found the
dead bodies lying on the ground and
their threats cut from ear to ear.
Their team had been stolen, also some
$500 IN money which, the Cinnamon
state, was the amount they had with
them. No clew has yet been found
as to the guilty parties, though many
have various opinions. Some believe
that the same parties who robbed the
stages are the perpetrators, while 9TH

does not believe in railroads and has
no us, for them. 1t will come through
his ranch, all the same, though, as did
the Pennsylvania railway trains
through the old Dutchman's barn, in
spite Of his protestations that if the
road was allowed to pass through his
barn he would be obliged to run and
shut the doors after every train.
Mr.. Stull win leave this evening TO
the Portncuf division of the Utah &
Northern, and thence to Soda Springs
EN- route home. He says that Con.
tractor Fitzpatrick told him Monday
last, that he has five gangs
of men at work upon one rock cut,
and 1000 men under him along the
line, and that the difficulty expected
in crossing the lava beds is not neal

breaks well, and grading is progress
ing finely.
Collins & Stearns are the contract
ors for the entire Oregon Short Line

Mr.. Stull states that orders hay
