channel In one case two or three saw log
which were resting above the charge. wer,

THE OVERLAND MAILs.-The overland

will reach this place full Is hours earlier

AN IMPORTANT DECISION. Judge Win
gard of the supreme court has decided that
the right of way, roadbed, superstructure
depot buildings, wood sheds, water tanks
&c, are not assessable under section two o
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company
charter. This probably settles the question
as far as Washington Territory is concerned

Engineer Eastwick has just returned from
a trip up to the forks of Clearwater. He
drove stakes to which water grade marks
were attached indicating the rise and fall of
the Clearwater at low water at several diff
ferent locations so that current record OF
the stage of the water can be kept He says
he finds the water very low and doubts
whether it will recede to a lower stage the
present season.

A coincidence occurs to lis in the fact that
the Northern Pacific road will have been in
corporated lat the time the spike is driven)
just nineteen years, two months and six days
So while Mr.. Willard is striking blow for
each hundred miles he will also be striking
blow for each year the road has been UNI
der contract. 1t is safe to say that the old
pioneer present will keep thinking of the
number of years instead of the number Of
miles. y Yakima .Si9aal

The PRosrEcroRs.-Mess G. c. Bun
nell and Capt. Baughman, two OF the party
who left several weeks ago for prospect
ing and pleasure tour in the Bitter Root
mountains returned last Friday. They left
the remainder of the party, consisting of s.
c. Hale, Maj. Warner, A. Zachary, and In
dian Robusco with other Indians at the
head Of Occur d'Alene Lake to come for
ward with the other animals and the equip
page. They entered the mountains from
Pierce City to the north and crossed the
north fork of the Clearwater river, near the
mouth of tho Orc Grand, and travelled tow
ards the summit of the Bitter Root range.
They were at one time $3.50 feet above sea
level, and much Of the time travelled on
very high ground. The whole country be-
meath them seemed to interspersed with nu-
merous fires in the timber, the smoke OF
which seemed to ascend up through the va
rious gulches, which acted like the draft OF
smoke stacks, and soon enveloped the
ground where they were travelling and OBJ.
scured their vision at a distance. They soon
became lost to their whereabouts, even their
Indian guides were ready to admit that they
knew not where they were. They pros
most every place could raise the color, but
not in sufficient quantities to indicate pay
ing mines. They found game plenty. They
killed deer, elk, and mountain goat. They
caught all the trout they wanted. They
travelled northward and came upon stream
and followed it down, and it soon emptied
into another.arger stream, At first they
they thought It be the north fork of the
| Clearwater, but it proved to be main fork
of the st. Joe. They discovered two other
streams. which ::th0s respectively named
Bunnel creek and Baughman creek, from
the fact that both Bunnel and Baughmar
fell into these creeks and were submerged
They followed the st. Joe down nine days
and finally came to where it empties into
the Occur d'Alene lake. The parties separ
ated here. Maj. Warner and the remain
der Of the party returned home Saturday
They say they had good trip, although
they would have been glad to have had
clear atmosphere, so as to have seen NOR
of the surroundings.

To THE LADS AND LAssEs OF THE PUBLIC
ScuooL.-It is suggested by those interested
in the progress of the scholars of the public
schools that few hints to them about their
method of occupying the time between school
hours of each day and night would be ad-
vsable during term time, and especially eve
nings. A reasonable amount of the time out
of school should be devoted to some healthy
exercise to preserve the health and vigor OF
the body, so a. to have the mind correspond
ingly clear for study. But it is not conduc-
i've to improvement in the studies OF the
schoolroom to have numerous parties and
social gatherings during the term Of school.
They absorb thought and attention from the
studies and render close study very irksom
and Improbable. Again it is extremely bad
policy for lads engaged in the school to roam
the streets after night fall, seeing the sights
and hearing the usual gossip that is uttered
along the streets, Such course tends to pre-
occupyftheir minds with frivolous thoughts
that are bar to healthy study and barrier
to the prosperity of the schools.

In answer General Hubbard read the affidavit Of Profess
Henry Martin OF the stevens Institute OF Technology
the effect that he prepared certain requirements for
safety from aerial wires which would render electric
rents on them harmless. There was no preference be-
tween underground and overground methods. The
statements I'm the plaintiffs afdays were in great part
false and misleading There was no efficient method Of
