Caldwell TmBUNE: Robert Hen
derson, the popular Snake river fer
ryman, will start TO Chicago about
the middle of next month, where he
intends to have a steamboat built to
navigate Snake river. The boat will
be fifty feet long, about fourteen feet
wide, and the screw propeller will be
driven by 33-horse power engine.
The boat will have capacity for one
hundred passengers, besides an I'M.
mense amount OF freight, and will
tow two barges, thus making the
freight capacity wonderful. The boat
will draw only about four feet of wa
ter, thus making it possible to navi-
gate the Snake for long distance.
Mr.. Henderson is an old river man
with much experience. He has thor
oughly investigated the scheme, and
is not only convinced that it is prac-
ticable, but that it will be paying
investment. HIP expects to have the
boat running in September.

COMPLETED.


Last week the Tribune had occa-
sion to review the successful work
ings of one sf Caldwell's young bust
ness institutions. This week it is its
pleasure to herald to the world the
completion of an enterprise which for
actual benefit to this entire western
country, for magnitude of conception
and business-l like management, stands
at the head of the list--the Idaho
Canal and Colonization Cos ditch.
Work was commenced on this canal
March !, 18S7--th twentieth and
last mile will be completed to-day.
The work has been pushed continu-
ously from the start and in such
manner as TO gain the entire conf
donce OF tho people.
Starting at a point on the Boise
river one mile north of Caldwell on n
level with the river bottom, the ditch
is 80 feet wide on the top and 20 feet
wide on the bottom. This dimension
does not vary until the end Of the
third mile, where it is reduced to Is
feet on the bottom, which continues
to the end of the twelfth mile. From
this point on to the end of the TWEEN
tieth mule and the terminus of the
ditch proper, the bottom width is II
feet Heavy laterals will be extended
from this point down to Snake river,
a distance Of four miles. Further on
the line has been extended to the
Payette bottoms and will be built in
the near future.
The substantial character Of the
work has already been tested, water
having been running for some dis
tanoe and no breaks of any impor-
lance have occurred.
The land covered, about $4,000
acres, is of high character. All
kinds of small gram, the grasses, and
fruits are produced in abundance and
of the finest quality.
Improvements are being made
along the whole line of the ditch,
houses are sprlnging up as if by
magic, fences being built, land cleared
and cultivated, and orchards planted
Among the most important improve
ments being made are those of How
ard Sebree, fencing and clearing one
section; J. A. Goodhue, one section;
Mr.. G.. has also set out 5000 fruit
trees; G. Ii. Sebree, one section; p
III. Lannan, one section; P. p. Shell
by, one section; p. A. Devers, 32C
acres, while Messrs. Fouch Bros, G
j. S. Peterson, Anthony Anderson
Mike Conway, II. /. Mclaughlin, and
a host Of others are rapidly transform
ing the desert into fields Of waving
grain Every acre of land under the
ditch has been taken and not an acre
of it is held for speculative purposes

From the Ne,o Yort World.

Gore.
From the New Yorl World.
The uptown resorts among which Howell
Osborn used to be familiar figure are talk
ing just now anent the latest news from
Paris concerning that gay young man. This
Is to the effect that a duel between him and
no less picturesque and distinguished an in
dividual than the Marquis de Leuville was
Imminent week or ten days ago. That it
has In fact occurred is not probable, or tho
cable would have Informed this part of the
world of the fact; but it may be that the
valiant couple are still arranging pre-
lmlnaries or are quarTeling over the choice
of a surgeon.
The difference between the slim-waisted
and abundantly curled and bearded Mar
quis and the small but vivacious New
Yorker, the story goes, grew out of brief
season of coin matching. The scene of the
occurrence was the Hotel Chatham in Paris,
whose American bar is general resort for
Americans. The Marquis who has been
making his home in Paris for some time
past, and living in the splendid and princely
fashion which he made known here, and on
the same limited resources wherewith New
Workers credited him, was garmented in
colorful and hamboyant fashion, and on
entering the cafe dazzled the beholders, as it
is his wont to do His shirt was in two or
three colors, his flowing necktie in two or
three more, his hair was waving gracefully.
and, altogether, he was picture to attract
and fasten, if not to f%scinate attention.
He espied Osborn leaning up against the
bar, and, approaching him, drew 20 franc
piece from his pocket and invited Osborn to
match with him. Osborn agreed, and the
matching began and proceeded with vary
ing fortunes
Finally the couple grew tired of the di-
version, and Osborn, possibly in a moment
OF forgetfulness, pocketed the twenty-franc
piece belonging to the Marquis, together
with the one-franc piece which had been
doing service for himself. Whether or not
the twenty francs was the Marquis mascot
is not made clear, but Osborn's appropria-
ton of it filed him with wrath. He de-
manded its instant return, ana when Osborn
flippantly disclaimed all knowledge of what
the Marquis was speaking. the foreign
nobleman became furious and demon
strative. Osborn, who had been drinking
somewhat, was irritating in his rejoinders
and finally got the Marquis up to lever
heat, and the latter began to startle the
atmosphere of the cafe with outpourings of
wounding anathemaS, which attracted the
attention of everybody in the cafe at the
time, and particularly the Americans At
last the Marquis described young Osborn in
a rot ust, Anglo-Saxon way, and this
brought the affair to very dramatic juno
ture.
Everybody said that the Marquis would
have to retract. Mr.. Osbo n made known
the fact that it was his fight and approached
the Marquis as inpressively as his condition
permitted. Mr.. Price, who is Mr.. Osborn's
travelling companion now, Endorsed Mr.. Os-
born's V ew of the situation But the slim
wasted nobleman was not impressed at all,
d, insolently fiji ging his card down, left
the cafe. Osborn's companions write and
say that duel will surely fellow.

A PREACHER AS A PITCHER.
One of Those Baseball Stories that
Make Person Wish He Could Play.
From the Elmird IN. ~ Gazette.

From the Elmird IN ~ Gazette.
If Detroit is not base ball town it is
nothing. The citizens of that city do not
know, perhaps, what jewel they have lost
in their failure to secure Rev. Wilton Merle
Smith, of Cleveland. He is not large man
in physical sense, but he is an athlete He
was the pitcher of the famous Princeton
O. llege base ball nine, which in 1877 rode
down to Philadelphia and twice defeated
the crack Athletic club, of the American
Association, on their own grounds in that
city. His first pastorate was in small
town, and he joined ball club there L.
was the champion nine for miles around,
and the opposing club with which they
played invariably objected to the "profes
sionar pitcher, as they termed The clerical
language, they used to swear at him from
away back" Last year he seriously con
sidered the ACCESSIBILITY of Organizing an
amatuer niIe with which to beat the Gle O.
land Association team.
A few summers since Rev. Mr.. Smith
enjoyed a trip up the lakes At Mack nav
the soldiers in the fort have fine ball club.
They have found amusement for many
years in chaliengi z aud defeating mines
picked up among the hotel guests. While
Mr.. Smith was in Mackinaw a chall nge
was received at his hotel from the soldiers.
Mr.. Smith. whose calling was not known
was invited to play, and he promptly ac-
copied. lie wai ordered to cover the sec
ond base, his pitching abilities not being
Il lderstood. The soldiers had never been
beaten, and the hotel guests looked upon
their own defeat as a foregone conclusion
At the end of the third inning the score
stood S to in favor of the soldiers. Then
| the second basenan walked up to the
catcher, first-claSs player from the Uni
yer ity IF Michigan, and said: LET me
pitch little"
'Uan you pitchF inquired the university
man, incredu oIsly.
"A little, guess" was the response.

the tally of to 0 in favor of the braves

field feeling very low spirited, amid the
laughter and applause OF the spec ators.

The Seven Cuticura BOYS

Our little son will be fonr years Of age on the
25th inst In May, 1885, he was attacked with
very painful breaking out of the skin. We called
in physician, who treated him for about four
weeks. The child received little or no good from
the treatment, as the breaking out, supposed by
the physician to be hives in an aggravated form,
became larger in botches and more and more
distressing We were frequently obliged TO get
up in the night and rub him with soda in water,
strong liniments, etc. Finally, we called other
physicians. until no less than six had attempted
TO cure him, all alike failing, and the child
steadily getting worse and worse, until about
the 10th of last July, when we began to give him
CuTICuRA REsoLvENT internally, and the CUTI-
cURA and CUTIcURA SOAP externally, and by the
last of August he was so nearly well that we
gave him only one dose of the REsoLvENT about
every second day for about ten days longer, and
he has never been troubled since with the horTi-
BILE malady.
