RAILROADS FossIppES.-Ths koots-
nay railroad act, which passed the Leg.
islature Of British Columbia last June,
has been disallowed by the Dominion of
Canada. This act authorized J. c.
Ainsworth, George J. Ainsworth, T.. W.
Blaisdeli. J. w. Spraeue and G. b.
wright to build short line Of railroad
in the eastern part Of the Provinces, To
build and run steamboats,. put I'M
and operate telegraph wires, etc. Ii
not only authorized this, but i, gave
them donation of 5000 acres of land
outright. The objection Of the Cana
dian Government IL that the proposed
works would interfere with the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad, and instead of
being feeder of that road, y .uid real
~ be feeder of the Northern Pacific.
and that the effect of their cons,rpc-
ton would be 10 divert trads from Can
ada 10 the United States. The Fraser
River Railway and the New w. ,tmins-
ter Southern Railway have been pro-
hibited for like reasons.

Another joint stock company has been
formed 10 this city. WITH capital stock
Of 81, 900, which. while being independ-
ems Of, will be ran in connection With
the Spring Hill Water Company. The

John Lsary and Bailey Gstzsrt Of Sc
attic and H. II. McWilliams Of Stock
ton, California. The object is TO erect
a savmilI and sash. door and furniture
factory on the shore Of Lake Wash
inoton, il Burke's Second Addition, ad-
joining the punpina works Of the
Spring Hill Water Company, from which
they will get their power fer manufac-
turing purposes. In consideration OF
the use of this power, tae Nanufactor-
ing Company agree TO furnish the fuel
and do the p1nplns OF the Spring hin
Water COMPANY. The new corporation
has already secured i've blocks Of water
from. ON Lake Washington for their
mill and factory buildings, and will go
TO work at once clearing them up and
putting them In shape for business.
Nessr.. Leary and Gatzert are we'll
known capitalists and business men OF
this city, and Mr.. McWiiiiams is the en-
glneer who built the great Touring mills

structed in the strongest and best pos

that the water company will be pump
ing from the lake IN one hundred days,
and the sawmill will be turning out
lumber before the LIST day of April, 1884.
The organic alton Of the Spring Hill
Manufacturing Company is the last OF
Mr.. Leary's enterprises, and the fact
that he is at the he'd of it Is su tlcient
guarantee that it will be carried to a
successful termination. While We do
not wish to flatter Mr.. Leary. it is only
Just to state that he is doing more to
advance the best interests of Seattle

Ex-senator ConkliDg appeared in a
New York conrt recently with a small
piece Of red ribbon ID the left lapel OF
bis coat, the significance Of which has
excited some discussion. Indians out
in this country wear red ribbons IN
their button holes and on their heads,
but they fail to excite comment, as the
people attribute such displays to the
vanity of those who make them. AS
Conk.ing has the reputation OF being
as vain as Piute brave, his red rib
bon probably signifies nothing more
than the great mans vanity.

General Crook is one of the brayes1
and most popular soldiers in the Unit
ed States Army, and particularly is he
popular with the people of the Pacific
Coast, on account of his knowledge of
Indian warfare, and his efficacy in
dealing with the Indians. The Apaches
have Wholesome dread of him. and
call him Gray Fox" on account Of his
having so often outwitted the most
subtle Indian cunning.
General Crook is a little over so
years of age He is native OF ohio.
After he had graduated at West Point
he was appointed a Lieutenant in the
Fourth Infantry. This was in the wear

RASTER.
When we arrived in the town OF
Shoshone on the 26th of last March
Ilhere were only a few frame buildings
erected, tents being the principal strnc-
lures. These we're scattered promlscu-''
ously about mostly along close to the
track. To-day the tents have almost
entirely disappeared and IN their stead
large and handsome structures are
standing along the broad, well lad
streets. On the north side OF the track
there arc some buildings that are hard
to beat for beauty of design and finish.
1t is expected in very short time that
what few tents there are left along the
north side will be taken down and
more substantial buildings erected.
On the south side Of the track there
are several fine and costly buildings,
and we notice improvements of all
kinds going on. Before the LIST of Ju-
ly next Shoshone will be the largest
and prcttiest town east or north OF
Boise, with chance of having pop
ulation Of 1000 people, and when the
machine shops and round houses are
finished and in working order, we may
then count on population OF 5000
people. Outside papers often ask this
questions "After the road is finished
to or near Boise City. what business
will keep the town up?" 1t is this:
We have in our midst energetic and
go-ahead solid business men with plen-
ty of capital to back them. We will
soon have machine shops and round
houses at this point and about 1000
men will be employed in said shops,
which alone will be the means Of keep.
ing the town on good solid basis
We have land along the river that will
be sought after by farmers for agri-
cultural purposes, all Of which can be
made tillable by the free use Of water
from Little Wood River. And last
but not least the town of Shoshone is
the nearest point on the Oregon Short
Line to the Great Shoshone Falls on
Snake river, one of the grandest sights
to be seen in the world. Snake rivers
mighty volume of water, emerging
from its placid stream above, suddenly
leaps seventy-6ve feet, pausing for an
instant as if hesitating to take the
fearful bound aud then takes it's final
plunge into the watcry profound, near
ly 800 feet below! What more bright
outlook do we want than this for our
metropolitan city, the great center
point for all trade, the largest machine
ny depot between Omaha and the sea
coast, ard the "Denver of Idaho"
Capitalists are arriving daily and in
vesting their wealth in Shoshone prop
erty. A. S. Senter, late arrival from
Omaha, has purchased the stone build
ing on the corner of South Main and
Walnut streets from Child & Son and
will soon erect magnificent and cost
ly structure. Other improvements are
going on and in very short time we
will have q town to be proud OF, and
you "lellers" on the outside who have
had SO much to say about Shoshone
going in, will haul in your horns be-
fore many months and find out that
you have made one grand mistake.

Considering all the ills that attack
little children, it is wonder that
any Of the poor little youngsters
live to grow up.
There are children who are truly
objects Of pity. They seem almost
bloodless. Their cheeks are thin
and pinched; their eyes are hollow,
and their skin is tightly drawn
over their foreheads. There is
nothing hearty about them. They
do not enjoy their lives. They ars
suffering from the debility that
leads to marasmus. Poor things!
Do a good deed for the pale:
poor, puny, pallid child. Hand it:
mother a bottle Of Broa,m's ho,
BiNeys. Here is life even for the
most delicate, the most debilitated
for the child almost given up fol
dead. Iron in the blood is what ths
child needs to bring it up. The
little digestive apparatus will re
cover. The pale checks will fill out
The weary groan of the child will b,
exchanged for the merry prattle O
infantile gladness. Your druggist viii
tell YOU what wonders BrWon'S Ep,
Bitt1s has done for very sick children
