POTLATCH CREEK.

We are often asked the origin of the
name Of Potlatch creek. The have given
one or two versions Of the circumstances
but we will give one more. We term
'.potlatch" in Nez Perez ito give" In the
high water what we call the Potlatch creek
is full aod sometimes SWIMMING near its
mouth. When the miners were going to
Orc Fiao they travelled up the north bank
of Clearwater, and when they would reach
the Potlatch they often found it swollen.
and had to apply to the Indians to get
tn, m and their traps across. The Indians
usually charged them quarter of dollar
On one occasion some parties had occasion
to cross. They had already taken over
their luggage and then were to take the
men over on ponies. A large man who
weighed fully $50 pounds was to he taken
across; he got on the pony behind the In
dian and they were making their way over,
when the pony by some means stumbled
and threw off the large man, and as the
current was strong he was carried down
the stream to the Clearwater and came near
drowning, but fortunately was rescued,
when the Indian saw he was saved,
he came up to him and says "potlatch quar-.
ter" and from this circumstance the creek
hiss since been called Pota'ch.

WHAT HARRISON WANTS

WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-The north
western republicans are mixed and mud
died on the subject Of an extra session
No two Of them from any state think
alike if they can help it. Word is given
out by apparent authority that General
Harrison has sent word here that he
wants the Union Pacific funding bill
passed, so as to relieve bis admnistra
ton OF that vexed measure. He also
wants something done for the territories
if possible. 1t is claimed that he prefe,
to have had the direct tax bill lett
over for his administration, SO as to fire
the Northern heart in his behalf He
is believed to be anxious to be relieved
of as many cares as possible, in order
that he may dew tie the first year of his
official life in turning the rascals out and
the hungry in. General Browne, of In
dian, is quoted as saying: 81 am sure
positively sure, that General Harrison
does not want to be obliged to call ar
extra session.

A NEW TOWN ON THE POT
LATCH.

We we're told yesterday that new
town had been projected on the Potlatch,
some distance below the town OF Julietta.
A German owning the ground had offered
quantity Of land for TOWNSHIP on bis
place if parties would build town there,
that the site is good one, much better
than Julietta, the land being much better,
and it is much nearer the Clearwater and
directly along the newly projected railroad
and easy OF access from all the Potlatch
travel in this direction. We are further
told that parties Lave accepted the propo'
sitiou and will survey of and attempt to
build q towa there. More the merrier,
if they can build up town which will
not swamp the Inhabitants. We are not
yet fully advised Of the intentions OF the
Spokane l. Palousc in regard 10 theii
movements after reaching the Clearwater
But the inference is that they will connec'
with the Idaho Transit near Lewiston.

night: "Mr. Wizards private secretary
this morning stated that that gentleman
was too busy to discuss the statement
published on Wall street to day by the
most reliable Of all the news agencies to
the effect that he was trying to sell out
100, 900 shares Of Oregon Navigation to
German brokers, with the provision that
the voting power was to be retained by
him for from three to five years. The
statement went on to say that the Union
Pacific may take control Of the Oregon
Transcontinenlal Company next June on
the ground that Mr.. Willard is working
too much in the interest of himself and
the Northern Pacific company. Later
Mr.. Willard sent word to the writer that
he docs not believe that the Union
Pacific people made this statement.

The First Sign

OF failing health, whether in the for,A of
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in .
sense Of General WEAKNESS and Loss OF
Appetite, should suggest the use Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to the enfeebfed system, pro-
noting the digestion and assimilation Of
food, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
ing, enriching, and vitalizing the blood.
