STORMS In THE EAST.

In reading the weather dispatches
for the past week, one can almost
imagine that they have made mis-
take, and are reading the dispatches
of last March and April, for there
has been q terrific snow and wind
storm along the Atlantic coast, the
worst that has been experienced at
this season of the year for ten years.
One dispatch says last Monday was
the worst day ever experienced.
The storm extended along the en-
tire seaboard of the New England
and middle states, and was of biz
card vigor. Great damage was done
to shipping, and a large number +
lives were lost. Eight vessels #
different kinds were wrecked off the
coast near Lewis, Delaware, in one
day. At Long Branch cottages
were undermined and carried out
to sea, and every bulkhead from
that place to Seabright was torn
out; snow fell to the depth of eight
inches in Boston. There is not
much temptation in such accounts
to Idaho people to Ego east for
change of climate"

WANT TO SEE HARRISON.

A delegation of Sioux Indian
chiefs, headed by Sitting Bull, as
tonished the authorities at Stand.
ing Rock Agency, Dakota, on the
26th ult., by asking permission to
visit the President elect at Indian
apolis, sometime this winter. or
any time before the 4th of March.
They were refused, and were very
sullen about it, and it is thought
they will hold council soon to de-
termine on immediate action. Sit
ting Bull said that he and his breth-
rem would like a big talk with the
new Great Father" before his 60
ing into Office, to ascertain his po-
sition in regard to the treaty. The
truth is, these chiefs are beginning
to grow restless at the agency, and
are a source Of annoyance. Their
numerous visits to the East have
imbued them with an almost un-
comfortable desire to be continually
on the railroad. There is a great
deal of jealousy among the younger
Sioux, who have never been offered
the luxury Of an eastern journey,
and it is manifest that trouble is
brewing,

Mount Harrison.

The ceremony Of christening the
highest mountain peak in Cassia
county and hestowing upon 1t the
name of Mount Harrison, took
place at Albion the 18th ult. Frank
Roberts and I. A. Gardner climbed
to the top of the mountain, 10000
feet above the level of the se.. and
there erected an octagon tower or
altar, some twenty feet high, on the
top of which they placed the stars
and stripes, after which they sang
+" Hail Columbia" and other nation
al songs. The twin peak of Mount
Harrison looms nearly us high,
and has long borne the name of
Mount Independence. A photo
graph of the mountain and a de-
scription of the ceremony were sent
to the President-elect.

Thanksgiving Dav.

thanksgiving day passed very
quietly in Ketchum. The bushes!
houses were closed and the towr
kept holiday. Many good dinners
were prepared and eaten we are
sure in a thankful spirit. The
weather was perfect. Surely nc
where bat up here in these noun.
talns are there such perfect autumn
days, clear, bright and crisp, fol-
which every one must be thankful,
however adverse fortune frowns in
other matters. The only public OBJ
servance of the holiday was by a
party at Metropolitan Hall in the
evening, given by the "Young Peo-
pies Dancing Club" atwhich there
were about IS couples in attend
ance, and the affair was a decided
social success. Messrs. Worswick,
Murray and Montgomery furnished
the music, and every one had a
pleasant time. A. IL O'Clock the
entire party repaired to George
Calliahan's restaurant, where he
had prepared a delicious supper,
after which the company returned
to the hall and danced the "wee
sma' hours away" Every one went
home we'll pleased with the even
ing's entertainment. A looker-on
watching the dancers was forcibly
impressed with the fact that "Young
America" is rapidly coming to the
front and are forcing the elders to
take a back seat. Well it's the
law of nature.
There was thanksgiving service
at the regular Cottage Lecture con-
Quoted by lay readers, last evening,
at the residence of I. I. Lewis, at
which the Thanksgiving Service of
the church was used, followed by
the reading of Thanksgiving SER
mon.

THE ROAD LAW.

There is great need of some legis
!: lation in regard to the existing roac
law. There is no doubt but tina,
the liberal sums of money which
the county commissioners appro.
pirate from year to year for the
purpose of repairing and improv.
ing the roads in the respective road
districts are FILTERED away and in.
judiciously spent. Some remedy
ought to be provided by the com
ing legislative assembly making the
road law more explicit in regard to
the duties of the county commits
sioners, giving them more power
and supervision over the roads of
their respective districts, empower
ing them to see if the funds thew
appropriate for road purposes are
properly expended, not leaving so
important a subject to the discre-
ton and sole responsibility of the
road-overseers. "What is needed"
says the Haley News-Miner lis a
law like that which is now in force
in Boise county. That law provides
tor a three-dollar road poll tax, to
be collected as other poll taxes
are collected, and placed in the
road fund for keeping the roads
in repair. It further provides that
the commissioners shall divide
the county into a certain number
OF road districts and they shall let
a contract to the lowest bidder to
keep roads in good repair for a
term OF one or two years; one of
the commissioners to examine the
roads few days before each regu-
lar meeting of the board, to see
whether the roads are in good re-
pair according to contract"
Under such a law there is no
doubt the roads could be kept in
excellent repair, and also make a
large saving to the county annually.
There is another important mat
ter which materially concern those
who are interested in the Sawtooth.
Seafoam and Sheep Mountain min
ing districts, and that is the six
miles of toll road which lies be-
tween Galena and the Salmon river
valley, about which there has been
so much complaint for years. The
rates of toll charged upon this short
piece of road are exorbitant, and
are heavy burden to those who
are endeavoring to open up these
comparatively new mining camps.
Dur county commissioners should
consider the necessity of devising
some means by which this hard
ship can be relieved. If they have
1ot the authority to negotiate for
he purchase of this piece of road
and declare it a public highway,
then certainly the legislature ought
20 exercise its power to grant them
such authority.
