Central Railroad from Corning, o.,
to Charleston, received notification
yesterday morning Of his promo
ton to the position Of General su
perintendent Of the whole line Of
the o. C. R. r. from tide water to

pliment to a valued and efficient
railroad officer, and shows the high
appreciation in which he is held

hope, however, that it will not
cause him to change his residence.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL
A Meeting of Those Interested In 1t to be
Held to Complete Arrangements.

A meeting of the teachers and
friends of the HALEY Sabbath School
who take any interest in the proposed
Christmas tree festival for the benefit
of the school, will be held at Mrs. Ru-
pert's t morrow (Thursday) evening,
at 7 o'clock, prompt. AS there is not
much business to transact the meet
ing can be over in half an hour, and
all those who wish to can thus have
time to visit the fair.
1t is proposed to hold the festival in
the Theater, Monday evening. BY 2
o'clock in the afternoon of that day a
committee Of ladies will begin tying
the presents on the tree; all parents
and donors will therefore be requested
to have their offerings in the hall by
that time. The stripping OF the tree
is to be preceded by brief entertail-
ment.
While the tree and festival will be
in charge of the teachers and patrons
Of the Sabbath School, its use will not
be restricted to them. Any person
who wishes to put present on the
tree for any child or person, will be
welcome. Each Sabboth school child
will be remembered with little pres
ent; but here the ladies and teachers
having the matter in charge mus,
stop, as the funds at their disposal viii
: not enable them to 90 further.

SALT LAKE CITY.
1t Is Duller than for Long Time Pas,

1t Is Duller than for Long Time Past.
Mr.. Dickinson, of the firm of d. T.
Bramble 4 Co., returned from Salt
Lake City yesterday morning. He
reports Salt Lake duller than he ever
saw it before. The cuts in freight
rates have played the very devil with
the ranchers, as the prices of all pro
duce have thereby been reduced to
less than even the Mormon farmers
can afford to sell for. This keeps the
country people away from the city,
leaving only the business population
to trade. Even the holidays may fail
to call them to town.
Mr.. Dickinson heard a number of
business men say that they would GO
to Caldwell on the excursion train,
and as he intends to visit that town
himself, shortly, he will probably join
the excursionists at Shoshone.

STEAMER CHlTA, LAKE CEuR
D'ALENE, Nov. 81, 1883.
To THE EDITOR OF THE T1MEs:-
After being disappointed a dozen
times in procuring transportation to the
mines, after offering the most extrav.
agant prices, the basis of which was
never less than so cents per mile, we
at last chartered the Government
steamer, and are now in fair way OF
reaching the Mission, at least.
Money seems to be no object to the
natives of this section. Three sepa-
rate times, for our party of two, we
bargained for and thought we had
purchased horses; but they never put
in an appearance. We bargained
with the Indians, and after a solemn
debate of hours thought the matter
was settled; but just as we would
settle our hotel bill and bid good-by,
an Indian would return and, with a
grave face, inform us that his mother
in-law objected, etc. Another had
the meanncss to break his neck at the
last moment; SO it went on day after
day, and II it had not happened that
the officials at the Fort wanted some
spending money our only resource
would have been to walk the entire
distance-SO miles--by the most Iii
rect route.
