river, which runs very swiftly amid
snags and powders which three times
overturned our frail craft, hurting us
into tie ice-cold and frothing waters to
swim or go under. We swan, and Sc
did our blankets, etc, which, however,
we saved farther down.
We were three days in reaching the
Mission, having been delayed one day
by an ice am i'll the river, and part
ola day by drift wood which filled the
river for half mile. We had to
take our RATS apart and haul them
around.
On Our arrival at the Mission on our
return, as the Government boat was
not there, we made up party of Is
and pulled to the fort, 60 miles, in a
row-boat.
Jack Brown, of Sawtooth, was with
us on the raft. Without him as pilot
and his strong nerve, ne would have
been meath the waters of the deep.

THE COMING FIGHT.
The Scrappers in Active Training for
the Event.

White and Geoghan, who have
agreed to fight with hard gloves il,
HALEY Theater on the evening of the
goth instant, have gone into training in
earnest. About 5 o'clock every n,orn
ing they start out for 10 or l2-mle
walk. AS they walk rapidly, they get
up profuse perspiration, and on their
return doff their coats and hats, and
are dried off and rubbed down. After
this, they partake of a slight breakfast
made up principally of rare heefsteak.
This is followed by an hour and a
halfs practice on sand-bag. At
noon they take another walk, have ar.
other rubbing, followed by another
hours punching on a sandbag, 4

THE TRAIL CREEK ROAD.
II Is Reing Stocked with Teams and
Wagons for Fast Freight Line,

NJ. Nj. Moore, division agent of the
Z. |. Il 0. Stage Company, was in
Haley to-day, making preparations FOR
new fast freight line to Bayh
from this railway terminus. The Bay.
horse shelters, it seems, use almost as
much merchandise as is consumed in
HALEY, and as the managers desire to
run all winter, they will have to ship
their base bullion out and provisions
and Supplies in. They therefore in
sisted upon the new road via Trail
creek being stocked at once.
The stocking of the road will re.
quire nearly 100 animals, of which
about 70 will be in HALEY all the
time. The others will be on the road.
For the first six or eight weeks the
new line will not seek passengers, but
about March stage coaches will be
put on, and run regularly thereafter

A COMMENDABLE MOVE.
The Water Company Having a Public
Hydrant Put In.

Wor!:men were put to work to-day,
digging a trench for a pipe from the
Water Company's mains, at point
opposite Whites furniture store, to
the sidewalk in front of his store.
where public hydrant will be erected
to supply all who desire water during
the winter months. The charge will
be 50 per month.
There is every probability that in
the spring, all in reach of the pipes
will take water.

10 THE EDITOR OF THE TIMrs:-
After somewhat rough and danger.
Gus trip we have arrived at this point
after visiting the Occur d Alene gold
mines.
AS predicted in my last, the only
way we could reach the diggings was
by walking from the Mission, 40 miles
through snow from three to five feet
deep, snow without sign of trail
and stormng continuously. There
we're II OF US, and without blankets
or any weight whatever we were four
days on the road, camping in snow
wherever night overlook us.
At the mines we found three feet
of snow. Very little work is being
done, but as far as we could see the
diggings arc very good as far as de.
velopments have gone. The two
main creeks-Pritchard and Eagle
are located, but from what we learn
we are convinced that miles of good
gllches are untouched which are as
liable to contain gold as those situated
near the settlement
There are quartz lodges but they
are undeveloped. The report that
they were being worked and that a
mill was on the way there being I'M
true, as in the wild state of the woods
at present it is not possible to have
transported any piece which cannot be
handled easily by one small iIl-fed
"cayuse."
AS near as l can Judge there are
about 200 men who will winter there
this present year, these being wei!
fixed with their own cabins and sup
plies. Meals are 81, -four $50 per
barrel, corned beef 81 per can, and
other things in proportion-and very
little Of that.
Eagle City is the principal settle
ment and it is no larger than Ga!ena,
just above Haley. There is no post
office, no lodgings, and scarcely an
eating-house-it being part of sa-
loon, of which there are enough, all
the houses being devoted to that pur-
pose.
No one has made the rip across the
divide since we went over, on account
of an increased depth Of snow although
many have tried it, and we do not
think it practi, able to reach the mines
until next spring.
The only way we could get out was
to build raft and aoa. GO miles down
the North Fork of the CGur d'Alene

Among the applicants for Gen.
Raum's vacant place is Hon. Will
Cumback of Indiana. He has
been a collector of internal reve-
nue. for ten or fifteen years, and
has a longing to 60 to the front.
He is one of the old school Of
"Christian statesmen" When not
collecting taxes he is lecturing on
Odd Fellowship, intemperence,
and original sin. During cam
meeting seasons he shines in the
full rad;ence Of his physical and
spiritual beauty. His aaccid fig
ure, .sbad. belly coat, barn.door
pantaloons, and benevolent face,
with its double chin, come.into'

raj expression of prayerful solici
tude for your souls welfare, are
familiar to the camp meeting fire.

Election day is . year of jet it
is not too premature however to
say something about it. The reign
of Wilt and McEnery has failed
to inspire the public with that con.
fdence to which the Democratic
party is entitled. 1t is a duty in.
cumbent upon the people to exact
of every official a strict account
of his stewardship, and no man
who has proven unfaithful to the
broad principles Of honesty, or al
lowed a single blemish to tarnish
the bright escutcheon Of the grand
old party, should ever again be
allowed a voice in it councils. He
should be taught to feel that there
is no object SO degraded as the
man who has betrayed q solemn
and sworn trust, Until the peo'
pie pursue this mode of dealing
with unworthy officials, bad gov
ernment will continue to blight
the prosperity Of Louisiana.

A STRANGE Demonstration.
ably one Of the greatest deforml'
ties in the world is that of Mr..
Gaultney, now living in Taylor
county, Ga. There seems to be
an accumulation of adipose matter
about every JOINT in his body, and
the nearer the joints, of course,
the greater amount Of. this fatty
matter. Consequently his feet and
hands are enormous ;. each of'his
hands weighing over l6 pounds.
and being several times larger
than his head. He is twenty-three
years old and only thirty'six inches
in height. The joints seem to
have taken away all flesh from the
other parts of his body, and the
limbs look like threads supporting
enormous weights, and SO great is
the weight of his hands that they
hang helpless at his sides, he be
ing unable to lift them of his own
accord. This fatty matter con
tinues to increase and his hands
and feet get larger every year
This man is q great curiosity and
there are crowds always at bis
home to see him. :. =.
