OMAHA, NEB., March 90, 1888
I. j.. kIMBALL, Esq, Acting General
Manager.
Dear Sir :-Replying TO your question
whether there is anything in the topo-
graphical features of Idaho that pre-
cludes railroad communication between
the northern and southern portions of
the territory, beg to say:
|. The southern portion of Idaho is
already connected with the panhandle
of Idaho by the Utah Northern and
Northern Pacific railways, which form a
connected line which leaves the Oregon
Short Line ut Pocatello, and runs north
through portions of Idaho and Montana
cutting across the panhandle of Idaho at
Pen dOreille lake.
2. Our surveys show that an excel
lent railroad route exists from Hunting
ton, the terminus of the Oregon Short
Line down Snake river to Lewiston, at
the mouth of Clearwater river; and that
thence the country tributary to the
Clearwater may be reached by railroad
up the Clearwater and one of its forks in
the direction of Missoula, Montana.
These are lines that our people will be
obliged to build in the near future, if
they wish to hold the business of the
northwest.
3. We have also found practicable
route from Weissr on the Oregon Short
Line up Weiser river; thence down the
Little Salmon and Salmon rivers to the
mouth of the Salmon river. 1t is not
probable that all this will be built for
many years to come, but portions Of it
may be built as branches to the main
stem. extending down Snake river.
4. The upper Salmon country can be
reached by line running northwestly
from Camas on the Utah and Northern
railroad crossing the range and thence
passing down Letnhi river to Salmon
city.
s. The upper Salmon river region
may also be reached by extending our
line from Ketchum northwardly cross
ing the Sawtooth range and thence
prabably extending down Rock creek
and beyond.
BY inspecting the map enclosed here
with, upon which the lines above mem
toned have been indicated, you will see
that the different sections of Idaho ter
ritory are situated well as regards pro-
jected lines of transportation-and that
communication between the northern
and southern portions of the territory
will be good. No detailed surveys Of
the upper Salmon river country have
ever been made by the company, there
having arisen no demand for such sur
veys.
There is every probability that rail-
road communication between north
efn and southern Idaho will be per-
fected long before it will be between
Idaho and Nevada.
Southern Idaho is traversed by the
Oregon Short Line, which, with the
projected extension down the Snake
river will in the near future be the
great trunk line of the northwest; and
it will form with its tributary lines good
communication between the northern
and southern portions of the territory.
Yours respectfully
V. G.. BoGUE,
Chief Engineer.

Each soul bid proposed,

That mighty pit to dig,
And often thought at first,
The hole was all too big,

But see how well the old boss knew!

Celery as Food and Medicine.


Numerous cures of rheumatism by the
use of celery have recently been announced
in English papers; but the following more
in detail, is given on the authority of the
New York Times;
''New discoveries-or what claim to be
discoveries-of the healing virtues of plants
are continually being made. One Of the
latest is that celery is cure for rheuma-
tism; indeed it is asserted that the disease
is impossible if the vegetable be cooked and
freely eaten The fact that it is always
put on the table raw, prevents its therapeu-
tic powers from being known. The celery
should be cut into bits, boiled in water un-
til soft, and the water drank by the patient.
Put new milk, with little flour and nut
meg, into saucepan with the boiled celery,
serve it warm with pieces Of toast, eat it
with potatoes and the painful ailment will
soon yield. Such is the declaration of a
physician who has again and again tried the
experiment, and with uniform success. He
adds that cold or damp never produces but
simply develops the disease, Of which acid
blood is the primary and sustaining cause,
and that while the blood is alkaline there
can be neither rheumatism or govt. Eng
fish statistics show that in one year Cl976)
2,640 persons died of rheumatism, and in
every case, it is claimed, might have been
cured or prevented by the adoption of the
remedy mentioned. At least two-thirds Of
the cases named heart disease are ascriba-
BILE to rheumatism and its agonizing ally,
govt. Smallpox, so much dreaded, is not
half so destructive as rheumatism, which,
it is maintained by many physicians, can
be prevented by obeying natures laws in
diet But if you have incurred it, boiled
celery is pronounced unhesitatingly to be a
specific. u
The proper way to eat celery is to have
it cooked as vegetable after the manner
above described. The writer makes con-
slant use of it in this way. Try it once
and you would sooner do without any veg
etable, with the single exception of the
potato, rather than celery. Cooked celery
is a delicious dish for the table, and the
most conducive to health of any vegetable
which can be mentioned.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1888-06-09

A correspondent of the Jeaoelers' Weekly
relates the following Eastern legend about
the origin of the earring. When Hagar
ran away to escape the wrath of Abrams
wife, so the story goes, Sarai vowed that if
her handmade ever returned she would
cause her to be mutilated, thinking thus to
destroy her beauty and prevent her causing
any further domestic infelicity. Time,
however, had the effect of so cooling Sarai' S
wrath, that when Hagar came back and
pleaded with her she decided to forego her
vengeance and restored her ex-handmaid to
favor. But an oath was not thing to be
trihed with, and as Sarai had solemnly
vowed to mutilate Hagar, she was in a
quandary how to do this without injuring
her or marring her fair face. Finally, she
hit upon the expedient of piercing small
hole in each of Hagar's ears, and it is said
that Abram, to offset the pretty handmade S
punishment, presented her with two beau
tiful jewels to suspend from the holes.
Her appearance thus adorned so excited
the admiration of the other women of the
tribe that the wearing of earrings soon be-
came general among them.
