| PALOUSE BRANCH NOT TO BE FINISHED
From gentleman recently from Portland
we learn that all work on the Palouse branch
from the Junction to Colfax thence to Mos
cow has been indefinitely postponed, with
but little, If any, prospect Of a resumption
this year. Steele, the contractor. has paid
of and dismissed all workmen and removed
all the tools and impl -ments for work to
places Of safety. No one seems to claim the
ownership of the road. The final result Of
matters may be tire taking up of much Of
the track and diyerting the road via Texas
Ferry aud crossing the Snake to Riparia by
means of large transfer steamer.
