I The river and harbor bill for the COM
ing year will not be so extensive an an
nual affair rs the country has been al.
customed tc. The house committee hav.
ing this matter in charge has held con.
ference and has decided to proceed at
once to frame bill on the basis of the
appropriation act Of last winter, limiting
the amount to be appropriated to each
river and harEor to one-fourth the
amount named in the last act. 1t is un.
derstood, however, that in reaching this
general agreement every river and har.
Dor for which on appropriation was
made last year will not necessarily be
included in the forthcoming bill; but
that the committee will use discretion in
regard to continuing any appropriation
for works that may be considered
national, and the early completion oi
which would promote and facilitate
commerce. Members of the committee
say the aggregate Of the bill to be re.
ported will not exceed ssOOO.OOO. The
committee expects to have the bill ready
to report January 18th.

The election result in Dakota is near
enough settled to render it safe to an
nounce that the total vote reached
10000 and that Judge G,fford's
majority is not less than fifty seven
thousand. That as many as 10000 voters
remained away from the polls is not an
unreasonable estimate, as the democratic
side of the congressional canvass was
not worked up by local committees and
the certainty that the democratic canili;
date for congress would not be elected
created an apathy on that side of tn.

law has been successfully administered
IN respect of the disfranchisement of

have not been of q character to improve
the former or decrease the latter. During
the present year there appears to have
been polygamic revival. The institu-
ton is boldly and defiantly defended and
commended by spiritual teachers, and
plural marriages are reported to have
increased in number

SOMETHING FOR SCIENCE.
A Wonderful Subterranean Fissnre Dis

A remarkable discovery has been made
in the Trail creek mountains, near
ketchum, by w. I. Pophan and others,
of this place. which appears to be par
allel wonder to the famous cave OF KEN

covorers were brought upon the scene
by copper fioat rock. the origin of which
proved to be large lodge of white cop
per stained quartz. In hammering about
this ledge peculiar hollow sound was
observed To come from the ground,
which lead TO closer inspection of the
surroundings, aud tho discovery within
few rods of what at first glance bore
the resemblance of u very old neglected
prospect hole. Naturally turning their
attention sbither. the prospectors found
bottomless perpendicular caye, which
beyond all doubt was tho work OF ma
ture. Heavy rocks were rolled into il
and went with rumble aud stiffness,
alternately. indicating the presence OF
large room like cavities, TO great depth,
requiring four or five seconds in the
descent. and then going beyond hear

~ u conjecture. II is safe To estimate
the depth. however, ut 400 or 500 feet.

One Time.

Let lis adopt common standard OF
time, whether 1t be railroad time, stand
ard time or sun time, ALI have got
their fangs into the Ketchnm public and
one could with us mnch reason endeav-
or to Ascertain with some certainty
the probable date OF Judgement
day as to try to make out what time
Ii is from his neighbors clock. 1t
seems the people hereabouts are 10th to
forsake the time to which they have
been accustomed while others keeping
pace with the day accept the new stand
ard time, and as "a consequence the COM
munity suffers deplorable annoyance
on all public occasions when it is an OBJ
jact to meet ut any stated hour. Some
arrive an hour too soon and leave dis
gusted. Others arrive an hour too late
and equally "off.' AS natural result,
there will be little possibility Of any con-
certed action OF whatever nature until
ONE TINE is adopted by all. This can
be accomplished by public meeting,
or, by the kindness of matchmaker
who is willing to adopt the new stand
ard time and invite the public to set
their watches according to his regula-
tor.

blind fury. For thirteen days these terrible
scenes were repeated daily until the end. At last
but twenty-seven remained alive, and of these
twelve were so weak from wounds and exposure
