The Northern Pacific is talking
about reaching Portland, Oregon,
independent of the Oregon Rail
way and Navigation company's line,
by building some twenty miles of road
to the Columbia river, and running a
line of boats on that stream. This is
either a scheme to force the Oregon
company INTO making the desired
lease or else a recognition OF the prob
ability of the Union Pac'he securing
control. 1t is reported that the North,
ern Pacific directors have authorized
the letting of the contract for the
Cascade tunnel, which indicates that
the branch of extension to Tacoma
will be built, and the road will thus
reach the Pacific.

In the language of the religious
editor of the Idaho Register ''there is
more JOY over one warm' bright,
spunglike day than over ninety ana
nine cold, rough, gloomy days when
the sun shineth not and the wind
howleth like a starved wolf" That
NAV be over in the Eagle Rock coen-
trv. but weuns over here, just now,
say there would be more JOY over
one rainy day than over nine thous-
and nine hundred and ninety-nine
"bright, warm, springlike days" that
shorteneth the water season and play
eth hob with the miners who pipeth
down the auriferous gravel, and gath
ereth in the 'yellow stuff" that buy

Of solids as we'll as liquids. And the
warm, bright day just is no frlene
of the farmer, and maketh the horny

ito like unto the blue dome of heaven
But the stormy, gloomy day driveti
awav the blues, and causeth the sun

decided that eolored men, who have
passed the requisite examiRsaon must
be allowed 90 practice at the bar.
The Baltimore Sun takes very prae-
teal view of the decision, saying:
''If negro is fitted to be an attorney
there is no more reason why he should
not be allowed to take retainer from
anybody who is willing to give it to
him than there is why he should not
earn his living as doctor, preacher,

1
Judge Shoemaker, when they waived
an examination and were committed
without bail to await the action of the
grand jury It is indeed sad affair,

was held by VIM. Chester, Esq, JUS
tice of the Peace at Soda Springs,

occurrence, and the jury returned a

their cell door With skeleton key.
Tregaskis, one of the sentries, was at
the first tier of stairs, and one of the

Idaho Register


days over the shooting OF one Thos.
Breen by DR.. E. ]. O'Callaghan on !
Tuesday night. The full particulars
have been very hard to obtain, but as
near as we have been able to learn
are as follows: As has been well
known some three or four weeks ago
it was reported that Geo. N. Crawford
was insane, and had been taken to
the asylum at Omaha, while later re-
ports seem to indicate foul play, and
that DIR. O'Callaghan was interested,
and of course in consequence he and
Crawford were bitter enemies. 1t is
also stated that O'Callaghan and |
Breen had some words on the street |
a few days ago on account of Breen
(who was taking care of Crawford at
the time of the alleged insanity, hav-
ing stated that Crawford never was
insane, and that there was nothing
the matter with him only just after
taking the medicine that OaCallaghan
gave him. During the time, however,
,lO'Callaghan had been attending to
sore foot for Breen, consequently they
had been brought together every day.
! O'Callaghan had been claiming that
J, Crawford had threatened his life, and
on Monday swore out warrant for
his arrest. Crawford was brought
before Judge Shoemaker, but O'Cal-
laghan failed to substantiate his
charge, became boisterous, and was
fined $25 and costs. This of course
! increased the ire of O'Callaghan, and
!, drink was all that would satisfy him.
! On Tuesday evening Breen had been
to O'Callaghan's office, and left about
II o'clock to get more whisky, which
The obtained at Shannon's saloon, and
returned, but O'Callaghan claims that
he was not aware of his intention t.
return. On returning he went to the
l. back door and attempted to open it
'e when O'Callahan hearing the noise

what transpired just before the shoot

affair, and this morning publish what
the Herald has to say about it. The
Register gives it this way: ut seems
that e. T. Williams, proprietor Of the
large new Hotel there, and man
named Campbell, relative, had been
drinking, and entered Mr.. Whittier's
saloon, which was in charge OF J. W.
Baker, and called for pint OF whis-
Ky, which Baker told him he could
not have unless he produced an order
from Mr.. Whittier. Williams said
they would fool with him until he
J killed some one, and after repeated
'lrequests for the whisky, and stating
that Mr.. Whittier said he could have
it; accusing Baker Of calling him a
liar, and after parleying started after
Baker, who went around the billiard
tables, with Williams after him. AT
ter making two or three circuits
Campbell stepped up and they Their

Circulation and Advertising.

The SUNDAY TArTLER observes that the
Journal repeats daily the falsehood that its
circulation is three times that of all other
Hudson County newspapers combined.
The Journal claims and the SUNDAY TAT
TIER has reason to believe that it properly
claims a circulation approximating 10000.
1t may have been true in times past-and
probably was trus-that that figure repre-
scented nearly, if not quite, the combined
circulations of all the other papers in the
County multiplied Three times. But it is
not true any longer. The rapid growth OF
the SUNDAY TArrLER in popular favor till it
has now reached bona Jide circulation of
over 1000 remands the Journals claim of
three times the combined circulation &c,
to the realm of impudent fable. So far
from having circulation equal to three
times the circulation of all the other papers
in the County, its circulation, upon the
basis of its own figures is not much more
than one-half the combined circulation of
the other papers. Look at tho figures of
