On account Of the numerous runaways-

There are about 1000 tons Of wheat to be
shipped from this section, which is intended
for shipment at Lewiston. The low price of
wheat at the present time ana the high
freights will induce large portion of this

as well remain IN the warehouses as to be
shipped under the present condition of the
market below.
When Mr.. Kane came through Dayton on
Sunday, large amount of mail matter was
lying piled up there destined for this upper
country. The mail wagon which bought
Mr. Kane from Dayton to Pomeroy

he was going back after it and wished to get
it to Pomeroy before the stage left for Lew
ton on Monday morning.
We are indebted to Delegate HALEY for
copies OF his bills for the annexation of mort h
Idaho to Washington and bill for the
Nez Perez aud Bannock war expenses, in.
Cured by the settlers. His bill for anuexa-
ton makes the dividing hne south of
Salmon river as far as the head waters of
RABBIT creek thence down said creek to
salmon; thence up Salmon, giving us all
on both sides of Salmon as far as the mouth
Of Raosit creek.
Capt. Baughman, of the steamer AImota
received orders on Monday to start up his
steamer, and he notified all hands, save the
purser, (who had gone to Lapwai). aua on
Tuesd1y they took small boat and started
for Almota, about forty miles distant, where
the steamer lay with freight for lewiston.
he intended to come to Lewiston with this
freight before going to Ripara. The river
Is at good boating stage, and il no more
freeze she wall continue ON Ter regular tiips.
Since wrihng the above we are informed
that the Capt received orders to proceed to
Riparia before coming here, so We may ex-
pect steamer here soon.
The matter Of our little extra announcing
the sinking of the steamer on Saturday was
Obtained by the telephone operator here,
who said that the operator at Pomeroy
claimed that it came from the end of the
telegraph on the Starbusk line, five miles
beyond Pomeroy. and was supposed to be
correct. Dayton had the same news, and
the Wash'nytonian issued an extra announce
ing the same. There was a mistake some.
where or else play upon the credulity of
the public. as no such loss of life or ship
occurred.
NOTICE = All parties
knowing themselves indebted

spectfully requested to come
forward and settle same up to
