Frank j. Parker Esq, Graad Eajoa

DEAR Sir: Referrin. to our csn.
ference yesterday in regard to tt@ ros
from Wslia Walla to Ainswor,h, tbs
construction Of which the citizens Of
WAlla Walla and others are considering
l beg to say that it seems to rue that
the construction OF this railroad at this
time weuld be premature.
Although it would be Of advantage to
Nalls WallA to have direct connection
with-the Northern Pacific road con,roll-
ID By this company and operated in
harmony with its interest, the principle
advantage Of such road to your people,
could not accrue until this company has
A. independent outlet Of its own to
Puget Sound.
An economical means of communica.
ton between Eastern and Western
Washington Is Of the utmost Importance
10 the growth and prosperity Of both
sections Of the territory, and is Of much
more importance than apo her way of
communicating with the country east
Of the Rocky mountains.
My judsmcnt. thereof is, that another
outlet for the Walla Walla country
should be deferred until our direct road
to the sound is completed. This We are
steadily pushing, and if not INSTRUCTED,
! have every eos6desce that We caa give
yosr people this most desirable aud long
ed fos result just as soon IS it is practi-
cable to bore the tunnel through the
Cascade mountains. Yours Truly,
Robert HARRIS,

Killed by n COuger.

Ed McCrum, of Bruneau Valley, in
forms the Idaho Democrat that boy
eight years of age was killed by a
mountain lion or cougar on the Bru-
neau about two weeks ago. The little
fellow was engaged in cutting wood
when the cougar sprang out of the
brush that fringes the stream and
seized him. The father. who was
near by and witnessed the scene,
rushed into the house. got his gun,
and shot the animal dead as it held
the boy in its embrace. before this
was accomplished the boy was dead.
Cougars are unusually numerous on
the Bruneau this season and have
killed many calves on the range.

The Administration should send an

are made in the postal routes of this

Lake Tribune, is in daily receipt of
letters Of complaint that long estab-
lished routes have been closed up.
The stopping of the mail from Frisco

Inconvenience and loss upon hundreds
of people. The saving to the Govern

vice consisted in running blackboard
over the route three times week

more than the service of eight men
and sixteen horses. OF course the
idea is to reduce expenses. There is
such a thing as false economy, and
when to save few dollars the Gov>
eminent deprives several hundred
people of the frontier of their mails,
that il one of the cases Of false econ

A report comes to US from Hamilton
that E. Y. Robinson and Samuel Lid
die have jumped the Illapah Springs,
two miles east of Hamilton. The
springs and water works thereon have
been the property of the Eberhardt
Company since 1870. The company
gave a good, round sum for their water
rights. and il seems to US very strange
that they should not have complied
with all the laws governing such
rights. This, of course they must
have failed To do, or their would be
no show for the Bumpers" to get away
with the Springs. Not having heard
the full particulars of the affair we
reserve comment till we do SO, with
simply expressing the opinion that
we fear the litigation which is certain
to result will prove unfortunate to the
