February 10, 1884.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMEs:-
Your correspondent is forced to adj
nit that the times and the season
have created dearth of news, to say
nothing of the entire absence of start
ling events. However, by dint of
pumping and leeching. l have extract
ed some items which, if not old, are
worth recording.
Shoslone Falls are to be made the
Niagara Of the Far West, and, as
summer resort, will salute the roar of
that mighty river. The details Of the
work to be done under the direction
of the Shoshone Falls Improvement
Company, a corporation composed Of
capitalists from Omaha and Butte,
have been settled upon. A hotel is
to be built, with capacity for 100
guests. Three thousand feet Of grade
is completed, a toll-road will be made
from Shoshone to the Falls, lumber
for the hotel is beirg shipped, and
ferry boat is in process Of construction.
The expenditure of SO much money
by liberal company, intelligenty
conducted, will add to the permanent
wealth and attractiveness of this por-
ton of the Territory.
The construction of the railroad
machine shops at Shoshone, is rapidly
approaching completion. The work
will have a capacity for $50 mechanics
and laborers. They will be ready in
about six weeks.
Teams will be put on tomorrow to
clear the road for Vienna.
AL. Oliver is examining the country
along the Oregon Short Line, to find
a suitable ranch aud range for b!ooded
stock. He finds the ranges so fully
taken up by cattle men that if he
should find suitable place it will re-
quire to be fenced to avoid mixing
the breed with common stock

Shoshone is dull-very dull--a,
present. But in few weeks, wher
the railroad shops shall have beer
completed and fully manned, and the
country shall awaken from the leth
argy into which it is thrown by the
season, the town will liven up, and re
sumo her onward march. Shoshone il
bound to be a good town, as it will al
ways be the headquarters and supply
point for the vast winter and summe
ranges along the Snake river for 2O'
miles.

phone.
County Assessor Leonard, who has
just returned from the East, says that
on the 9Th of January he was in St.
Paul, Minnesota, when the mercury
stood at 40 degrees below zero. The
train in which he went to st. Paul
was run at speed not exceeding 10
miles an hour, as the trainmen feared
that wheel or rail mi ght break from
the cold, and cause great suffering to
the passengers, if not loss of life.
The latter, even those travelling in
sleepers, complained Of the cold, and
Mr.. Leonard's children woke up and
cried for more covering, although
theyalready had twice as much as they
would have required here. All trains
were behind time everywhere. Our
climate, Mr.. Leonard says, is mild and
spring like compared with that of the
so-called Western States.
Mr.. Leonard says that there is
quite craze in the East to go into
the cattle-raising business, and as he
mentioned Idaho to people who had
never heard Of the Territory before,
and of its superior grazing advan-
tages, many offered to back him with
all the money required, if he would
only associate himself with them and
manage the business here. But he
had already made arrangements with
very wealthy man to go into the
same business; so he could not ac-
cept further offers. He says, how
ever, that while people East look
down upon all mining schemes, they
are just rushing into the cattle rails
ing business; most of them are look
ing toward Texas and New Mexico,
and it will therefore be some time be-
fore they get as far west as Idaho.
The Bowen telephone, Mr.. Leonard
saws, is new instrument that is fast
supplanting the Bell. 1t had but just
been received at Cleveland, where Mr.
Leonard saw it, yet during the first six
days over 200 applications we're re.
ceved, and over 400 instruments ap.
piled for-some using as many as five
and six each, while none use less than
two. The Bowen telephone is much
cheaper, non electric, far more simple
requires no poles in cities or towns, as
it makes no humming or other noise
and people don't object to the wires
being strung over houses. Besides
it is so simple that boy of 10 years
can take it apart and set 1t in place,

At room to-day the train due at

likely that any train will reach here

all probability, arrive and leave on

EAST ST. LOUIS, Feb. 20.-The dsni.
sens ONO. 212 Poplar street have q story
to tell which makes Fitting sequel to the
late little romance connected with the name
OF the mayor of East st. Louis. The
romance alluded to will be remembered as
the one in which the mayor figured as Sir
Launcelet to two Lady Guineveres from
the west side of the water, and directly
after caused their arrest. Annie Knauss
and Kitty Walker are the Guineveres In
question and, according to their state.

the private paror Of No. 2l2 Poplar street
by
TWO EMIssARIES
who professed to be from the gallant
Launcelot, otherwise known as the may or
OF East st. Louis.
These emissaries were John McGraw,
formerly connected with the transfer com.
pany, and an East st. Louis reporter for a
St. Louis paper. "They represented to
the Guineveres that serious trouble was
brewing about the Lares and Penates Of
East St. Louis Mayor, and that at the
Forum and the Campus Martius, he was
not received with the wOnted degree OF
cordially. They said, moreover, that for
these reasons the Mayors heart was sad
within him, and that he was grieyed be.
