The following telegram from the
chairman of celebration committee
of Bellevue, was received too late for
publication last week:
ED. TRIBUNE:-At meeting, May
31st, Bellevue invited Caldwell to join
in celebrating the next National holt
day. J. Fl. PAGE, Chairman.
AS Caldwell is not. going to cele-
brate this year, it is probable that a
number Of our citizens will attend the
ceremonies at Bellevue. The band
will go in full force and feather, which
latter has direct reference to the band s
best girls. We will do all in our
power to help you along, Bro. Page,
aud our capacity for "jamming wind
Il. e. music so alleged) is something
awful.
N. B.-Does Bellevue furnish boned
turkey and nuggets on toast?-Cald-
we'll Tribune.
No, Brother Wheeler. All the live
Bellevue folks are coming to HALEY
on the glorious Fourth. A "Commit.
tee" will. in part, remain at home and
will, perhaps, give you "bone," blu,
no "turkey."

Dewey, the Traveller.

Charlie Dewey, whom nearly every
body in two continents knows, and
who nominally lives in Omaha where
he is head of the great furniture
house of Dewey & Stone, told re-
porter, upon his recent return from
Japan, about railroads in that coun-
try. He said that ten years ago the
first railroad was opened in Japan,
and now there are 100 miles of rail-
way lines, and owned by the govern
ment. The lines are all narrow
gauge, are kept in excellent order,
and the cars are handsomely finished
and comfortable. The general equip
ment of all the roads is good The
cars and locomotives are modelled af-
ter English patterns, the passenger
coaches being built on the compart-
ment system. All the railways on
the island are operated by natives,
even to the accounting of business,
but the locomotives were all driven
by Englishmen. The train service is
we'll done, and the Jap trainmen are
exceedingly polite. When the con-
ductor asks first or second class pas
senger for his fare, he always doffs
his cap and makes courtesy. The
passenger trains are divided into first,
second and third class. First class
fare is four and a half cents per
mile. third class one and quarter
cents. The third class cars are sim
ply box cars without seats, and are
occupied almost exclusively by coolies,
The time made by passenger trains
is 20 miles an hour, and in the day
time passenger trains are run between
Yokohama and Toxic, which are well
patronized. The comfort of passen.
gers is we'll looked after. At every
station all the native newspapers are
to be found on file for the use of the
public, and little conveniences moi
found in American depots are pro
vided. Relatively, the freight traffic
is not nearly so heavy as in America

WAS 1T MURDER?

The True Story OF the Pair Of Horses
Found Astray, the Wagon Box with a
Bullet Hole Through 1t and Blood
About 1t.
Yesterday Mr.. Hiram Lusk, we'll
known to HALEY business men as a
dealer in poultry, pigs, butter and
eggs, which he transports in the red
coop on wheels, called on the TIMES
and after telling that he is anything
but Mormon as the TINES acciden-
tally, but innocently intimated not
long ago, gave the following as the
true story of the man whose team
was found and to which the attention
of Alturas county officials is called:
About II miles this side of Lava
postoffice on the road leading to Era,
stranger, whose name turns out to
have been Lew Blackburn, went into
camp some five or six weeks ago.
Just how long he was there is not
known. Just what his purpose or
where his destination is not positively
known. He had pair of extra fine
horses, good wagon and harness and
ample provisions and camp outfit. He
camped beside tract of land where
on some person had dug a mile or
more of post-holes, preparatory to
taking up claim. These holes have
misled parties into the idea that the
stranger dug them, which is not true.
Various stories have gone abroad,
but they are generally three fourths
made up. The facts are that the man
is missing. The wagon and harness
and camp outfit were left on the spot
where he camped. The horses were
found some 80 miles away, running
loose, and were mistaken by some
persons looking up stock for those o.
a ranchman living in the Lava section
They were found not to belong te
him, and this led to inquiry as to thei
owner.
Iii certain that a bullet or riff,
ball has been fired through the Wagon
box. 1t is stated by some that Their,
are stains of blood about it also
Others say they are not sure but tina
the stains are paint of a dark color
Be that as it may, the man is not to b.
found. His horses are at large unles
stolen or taken up, and the wagon
!, &C., are safe so far.
, There are, of course, theories as t.
his end, if dead, and as to his conduct
if living; but the truth is that if deat
by violence only his murderer know
, the facts; if by accident nobod
knows them, and if alive his wherea
bouts is mystery. This is all Their
is of it. Meantime his property
n exposed to pillage.

Farmers, Read This!

Mart. Houston, after whom the town
of Houston was named, made a wager
with George Collins, of Lost River,
the stakes being the choice of either
horse in the others team, that he could
cut more hay and do smoother and
better work with his old Buckeye
mower, which had been in use for six
years, than he, Collins, could do with
his new "Champion." After fair
trial, Collins acknowledged he was
beaten, gave up the horse and then
traded another horse for the old mower.

Death Valley.

The San Francisco Call, in answer to
correspondent who wants to know the
true history of Death valley, gives the
following information: f'd7 7c e''i-"
Death valley owes its name partially
10 Its frightfuliy desolate character, be-
ing for the most part destitute of every
thing necessary to support life, and
partly to the number Of persons and
animals that perished there. The valley
is 100 miles long by twenty wide,
though only about forty miles in length
and eight or ten in width is embraced
within Inyo county. In 1852 large
party of immigrants perished from
thirst within its limits. It's level is
from 100 to 400 feet below that of the
sea, giving it greater depression than
the Caspian and nearly as great as that
of the Dead sea. 1t is, says Cronise,
probably the bed of a. former lake, the
waters of which were strongly charged
with salt and soda. For forty-fiye miles
in length and fifteen in width along its
center it is a salt marsh, in which the
Amargorza (or Bitter) river sinks, and
where thin layer Of soil covers an un-
known depth Of soft mud. For miles
there is no water fit to drink, and, al,
though springs are numerous, they are
intensely alkaline. Saline efflorescence
and mineral incrustations cover q great
portion Of the SURFACE, which, except
within the limits of the marsh, is c0ih-
posed of an ashlike earth, mixed with q
tenacious clay, sand, and alkali, so soft
that man can not travel ever it in the
winter time without difficulty, and for
animals it is entirely impossible at any
season. In spots where there is less
moisture, the surface is so porous that
horse sinks into it halfway to his
knees, rendering travel slow and labori-
Gus. Water can be obtained by digging
down few feet, but it is so saline and
bitter that it can be used by neither
man nor beast. With the exception Of
few clumps of worthless shrubs the
PLAIN is destitute of the slightest traces
of vegetation, nor are any signs of life
to be seen upon it, except small black
gnat, which in summer swarms in
myriads, entering the. eyes, nose, and
ears of the traveller, and persecuting
him with its, peculiarly Irritating sting.
The heat is fearful during the summer.
An exploring party in 1855 found the
temperature in January-the coolest
month in the year--as high as 80 de-
grees Fahrenheit. When there is no
breeze through the long canyon the air
becomes so dense that respiration is
painful and difficult. During the spring
terrible gales of wind fill the air With
salt, gravel, and sand, in clouds las
black as coal smoke. The whole sur.
face Of the valley, except the marsh in
the center, is SCARED in all directions
with deep grooves, which appear to
have been made by freshets caused by
heavy storms and the bursting of water
spouts. Altogether it is as dismal and
dreary place as can be imagined. '
