COMMUNICATED.

A letter from Lewiston to the Mos.
COW Mirror, appeared last week, pretend.
Ing to give report Of the trial Of Tom
Hill for tho killing Of Nine Pipes, is
like the play Of Hamlet with Hamlet
-ieft out. Tho report ignores the promi-
sent actor in the defense of Hill; as,
aso, the able prosecution on the part Of
Msmzs. Forney and Poe. U. s. At.
tosssy, Jas. H. Hawley appeared for the
defence At the request Of the authorities
at Washington, and was assisted by z.
II. Winston, Jr.-Mr. Winston being
appointed BY the Idaho county Court.
The Mirror correspondent sees no one
10 The case except the defendant and his
local attorney. Without disparsgiug
the ability or detracting from the merits
Of any counsel in the case, we like to see
impartial criticism in newspaper report
and specially 80 in matters of public con-
Germ. The trial Of Tom Hill elected
more than ordinary interest for case of
that character. Pending the, trial, popu-
lar feeling was somewhat divided as to
the merits Of the case, with the weight
Of opinion or prejudice rather against
the defendant. District Attorney and
J. ". Poe Esq, presented the case for
Idahs county in its full strength, but
they were met more than "half way" by
the we'll organised, consistent and i'm
yr sgnabls defence of U. s. Attorney,
Kawley and Mr.. Winston. The U. s
Attorney is somewhat new as a prac,i-
toner in the courts Of the "lst district"
but We have seen enough of hin to
Know that he is thoroughly at home in
The court room. His management Of
this case demonstrated the fact that Tom
Hill required no more forcible aud capa.
de advocate Of his rights than was
touched to save him 10 his counsel |
VI. Hawley has the happy faculty of
sitting ar asd sticking to his case 10

ROAD Up wEIsER AND DOWN
LlTTLb SALMON,

Norman B. Wiley writes from War
rens to the Free Press under date June
%, as follows: ave are taking lively
interest in nearer railroad facilities. 1t
cannot be stated as positive fact but as
more than probability that the O. s. L.
will build up the Weiser and down Little
Salmon and main Salmon. Then if q
practicable route can be found they will
cross the Prairie and 60 down Clearwater.
If not, they will build down Salmon
river and Snake to Lewiston Not only
are parties Of surveyors in the field but
there is certain stir among the insiders
indicating that plans are matured.
The very great advantages Of this
route over the direct route down Snake
river are very obvious to those acquainted
with the country. 1t will be longer it is
true but the engineering difficulties will
not be so great and perhaps it will not be
more expensive. 1t runs the entire
length of Washington county. A good
agricultural country all the way. 1t
secures the entire business of Warreus
and Florence and all adjacent mining
camps. Even if it does not come nearer
than White Bird or Hockey Canyon i.
furnishes an out let for all the prairie can
produce at remunerativs rates. If it
should cross the prairie it would also pro.
mote the development Of the southern
part OF Shoshone county. 1t becomes
every one, because it is for his interest,
10 help an enterprise of this kind. No
individual can do much but he can at all
events bid it Godspeed. A railroad
helps country. There was time when
Boise City could have secured railroad
tut q most narrow minded spirit prevail
d and she was left out in the cold to
row up at her leisure. However there.
3 no danger that Idaho or Nez Perce
ounties will follow 10 her footsteps.
They appreciate the situation too keen

against the forfeiture of the Northern

another meeting and expungeed the first

A RAILROAD recoNNo1rRE.

Col. j. +, Curtis and Engineer Lewis
Blickessderfer, who with party, have
been some weeks making an examination
Of the tributary points for business to
the Snake river from the Oregon side,
for the proposed railroad down Snake
river, between Huntington and Lewiston,
in the interest OF the Union Pacific
Short Line, having examined the Pine
creek mines, and their promised advan-
tages aud the country on the Oregon side
for about seventy.6ve miles below Hunt
iugton, were detailed to 60 up the
Weiser to near the head, over the d..
vide and down the Little Salmon to the
main and down that and up the White
Bird and over to the Camas Prairie, ar
irving At Mt. Idaho on Sunday. The
Col. and Engineer Blickensderfer, leav-
iog their animals and one man at Mt
Idaho, came down to Lewiston by stage
on Monday, and remained till Wednes-
day morning at o'clock and then re-
turned by stage to Mt. Idaho en- route
back over nearly the same route to the
head Of the Weiser, where they had left
some Of their party with wagons. The
precise obj ,ct Of this last accommodating
i not disclosed, but we infer that many
parties have desired this examination
ehould be made, thinking that it would
save the necessity Of building down Snake
river canyon. We learn from the en-.
ginser that they can 60 up the Weiser
to the divide, with maximum grade of
sixty feet to the mile to the summit of
the divide, but in coming from the sum-
nit down the Little Salmon 70 the main
Salmon, the maximum grade would be
eighty feet per mile, and tho ascent to
the Prairie via White Bird would be
much greater, and according to DeLacy s
examination, 10 behalf Of the Northern
Pacific, made some years ago, very heavy
tunnel work would be required to enter
Snake river via the mouth Of Salmon
river, on account OF the sharp angle
formed in the delta of the two rivers
and high bluffs on each side of the river
10 the canyons Of the two rivers near and
at the junction. What their report will
be TO the Union Pacific, after retracing
THAR route to the Weiser, we cannot pre-
Dict. The party have no connection
with the party or parties who are making
the survey Of the direct route from Mel
rose on the Utah h Northern, through
the head Of the Bitter Root valley and
through the pass Of the Bitter Root
mountains and down the Clearwater to
Lewiston, portion of whom have been
in the field for several weeks. We infer
from what We can learn that the Union
Pacific propose to thoroughly examine
both routes to Lewiston, and may build
both 10 due time, but will probably build
one Of them at an carly date. Lewiston

An Eyewitness, two Miles Distant,

Lord Bury sends to the London Times
an extract from private letter describ-
ing the eruption OF Etna. The writer is
,englneer in charge of the Palermo Corle-
one railway. His letter is dated Catania,
May "a
CATER about three hours climbing we
got to within a couple of miles of the
crater itself. 1t is at the side OF Etna.you
know, not near the top, that this eruption
has broken out, and we got on TO bit OF
high ground overlooking the whole scene.
il was still daylight when we got up
there, so that we saw the whole thing by
daylight. IL was the most glorious and
lndescrbahle sight ever saw in my life
1t is perfectly impossible to describe it,
as no one can have any conception OF
Whatit Is like until they see it, and also
untll they see IL from where we did,
"llch was on high ground overlook OK
nearly the whole OF it. At the top is this
enormous crater, throwing out flames and
throwing up stones some hundreds OF
yards, with continual roar, like any
lumber OF battles going on, and just
below Is another mouth from which tue
lava comes, travelling at "A tremendous
pace. 1t divides into several streams and
follows the valleys. Now, imagine from
where we were thatnight, with our backs
10 Catania, what we saw. On our right
this enormous flame going hundreds OF
feet into the air, making the whole sky
bright red, aud all down past us from our
right. and extending down miles to the
3eit streams oi red-hot lava moving down
ward In a mass for miles, aud looking like
an enormous sea Of red-hOt coke. The
width across the lava where we were was,
perhape, three or four miles, and II started
about Two miles above US and flowed
some four miles or so below Us, so YOU
must imagine sea OF angry, red-hot lava
nye or six miles long. and three or four
wide, and about 30 or 80 feet deep, but all
of II bright red. You can Judge whether
1t was a sight worth seeing. / would NOT
have missed u for worlds. The lava is not
liquid as most people suppose, but con-
Hihts of many millions OF large aud small
blocks y rocky-ioOking stun 10 ling on

sianding in The middle 0f tie stream OF
