The Railroad,
Baker City Re veilie.

A gentleman who has just come
over the Blue Mountains informs us
that work on the railroad to Baker
City is pushed forward with great
vigor. Parties of Cinnamon are en-
gagged all the way from Meacham's to
within a mile or so Of Orc Dell. The
road in that distance is nearly all
graded and about all that remains to
be done consists of bridges and tres
tie work. A party of Cinnamon is
also working near the Warm Springs
in Grande Rounde Valley and near
Union. There is also party at work
near Pyles' canyon. The grading
from North Powder to Baker City is
nearly completed. One striking pc
culiarity of the road through the
mountains is, the number of times it
crosses Pelican creek. When COM
pleted it will look like huge serpent
stretched out on high trestles. The
object of this winding seems to be to
acquire easier ascent of the steep
grade from the Grande Ronde river
to the summit

Hound up Of Iural-ities.

DR.. YoRK's lectures at this place
last Monday and Tuesday evenings
we're largely attended. The subject
of the lecture on Monday evening
was individuality" and on Tuesday
evening, 'Inspiration." The Doctors
liberal views cropped out quite bold
" in his first lecture, on ssEvolution. -
and the last two evenings religions,
and priests and preachers were dealt
with in manner that was quite re-
freshing and forcible, as showing in
a light that is not thrown on the ques-
ton from the pulpit, the absurdities
of the inspirational theory of the
Christian bible, as well as all other
bibles. The lecturer asserted that all
religions are good for what good NOR
al teaching there is in them, but does
not accept the doctrine, as true, that
the Supreme Power appoints agents
to write bibles for Him. He claims
that the degree of civilization and en-
lightenment the world has attained to
is due not to religions, but to science.
and that science is not indebted to
religions for what she has accom-
plished. He also asserted that mo-
rality could exist without religion and
vice versa, and that the blacklist
crimes in the worlds history were
committed in the name of religion.
All three of these lectures contained
great deal of scientific thought. his
torlcal fact, reason, good common
sense and eloquehce. To briefly re-
view the lectures without doing inius-
tee to the lecturer, cannot be done.
A good many liberal minded church
members, willing to hear both sides
OF the question, and who are not the
kind to heap abuse upon a man sim
ply because his opinions differ from
theirs, were there, and were very
much pleased with the lectures.

Another shooting at Ketchum.
Bellevue Chronicle.

An unfortunate affray occurred at
ketchum on Tuesday evening in
which John Pilmer was severely
wounded by Horace Lewis. This
morning-it was reported that Pilmer
had died, but the latest report
brought down by the driver was to
the effect that Pilmer was out Of dan
ger. Pilmer is the well-known pro-
prietor Of a Ketchum livery stable
and Horace Lewis is young man of
about 26 years and is at present the
Y. |. 4 Q. Stage Co.'S agent at that
place. The parties met in the post
office and words ensued about stage
fare which led to the resurrection OF
an old domestic feud between the
parties. Pilmer, who is powerful
man, threw Lewis up against coun-
ter, when Lewis drew a revolver and
fired three shots at Pilmer. all Of
which took effect. One ball grazed
the right shoulder, another passed
through the right thigh and the third
took effect in the mouth, shattered
four front teeth and made an ugl,
wound about the nose. Bystanders
separated the combatants and Levi.

sheriff and has given $4,000 bonds te
