Hobart VI. Richardson.

We were greatly shocked and deeply
grieved to hear of the death of Hobart W.
Richardson of the Portland -1dcertiser, one
of the most able and scholarly of Maine
editors. We have read the Adrertiser now
for many years and always turned to the
persual of its pages, confident of finding
them filed with matter of more than oidi-
nary interest. Mr.. Richardson was a man
possessed of qualities which won the es-
TEEN of his fellow men. He was honest.
modest. ingenious and fearless. His Mt.
terances were prompted by principle and
not by policy. He aimed high, seeking to
make clean, heightened. independent jour
nal whose influence should be for good
and success most signally crowned his eff
forts. In short he has left vacancy in
Maine journalism which will be hard to
all.

The second election will therefore be con

A LARGE MILL DEAL
Sale of the Pillsbury System
at Minneapolis,
ENGLISH CAPITAL THE BUYER
The Consideration Said to Be Over
Five Millions-Mr Pills
bury's Statement.

MrNNEAPoLIs, Oct. 2s.---rhe recent re-
port that the G. G. Washburn mills had
been sold is followed tonight by the an
nouncement that the sale of the Pills
bury mills and also of the Washburn
mills is about to be consummated. For
the first time in connection with these
deals the price is given as regards Pills.
bury's interest. IL is that the option on
his system OF mills and elevators calls
for S., 200, 900 The purchasers are an
English syndicate heretofore mentioned,
and the sale is on the same plan AS out
lined in these dispatches some time
since. The Pillsbury mill will retain an
interest in the new company.
When seen by reporter of the Asso-
ciated Press late tonight and asked re-
gardng the sale of the mills, Pillsbury
handed him the following typewriter
statement, In addition to which he
would say nothing:
''lf the property is sold IL will be to a
joint stock company, In which we shall
retain very large interest, and we shall
agree to continue in the management OF
the same. The sale, If made, will be
made to company organized in New
York or some other Eastern city, and so
far as the public are concerned can not
see how II will affect them one way oil
another"

THE NEVADA CENTRAL.
II WIN Probably BE Extended to
Boise City and into Montana.


MIR. c. W. Hinchclifl, superintendent
of the Nevada Central railway, and
Messrs. w. J. Highlands and George Nc
MILAN, capitalists of Cleveland, Ohio
are in the city, and yesterday had inter-
esting conferences with Governor Shoup,
Mayor Pinney and other leading oiti-
zens.
The attention of the Nevada Central
people has been for several years direct.
cd to Boise and this section of Idaho
during which time they have been col
lecting data with view of possible fi-
ture extension of their road into this
promising region. They have recently
become convinced that the time for TAX
ing some action in the matter has ar
rived hence the present visit of these
gentlemen to Boise,
The only portion of the Nevada Cen
tral built and in operation is that from
Austin, Idaho, To Battle Mountain, n
station OH the Central Pacific railroad i'm
the same state. IL is now proposed to
build the road from Battle Mountain to
Boise by the way of Tuscarosa, Nevada,
Squaw valley, near the Idaho line,
thence skirting South Mountain and
down the Bruneau valley to Snake river
and across the Snake river plains to
Boise. Battle Mountain is 250 miles
south from Boise. The grades are so
easy on this route and the engineering
difficulties so few that the road can
very nearly follow the air line. This
route would be very much shorter and
more direct between Boise and San
Francisco than the Oregon Pacific, the
Donohue. road or any other projected
line. 80.
From Boise, it is proposed to
build the road eastward into
Montana with the probable tor
minus at Butte City; the route
from Boise passing up the Boise river to
the South Boise, which will be followed
to the Smoky Fork, and thence to Belle
vue, distant from Boise l30 miles. From
Bellevue the road follows the edge of
Camas prairie, skirting the Wood river
and Lost river hills to Challis in Custer
county, distance of sixty miles.
Thence the route COOS to Salmon City,
and thence crossing the main chain OF the
Rocky mountains by a comparatively
low divide, and on to Butte. The esti-
mated distance from Bellevue to Butte,
Mont, is 400 miles, which, with the 100
miles between Bellevue and Boise, gives
$50 miles from Boise to Butte. Governor
Shoup and others familiar with the
country through which the proposed
road will pass, express the opinion that
the freight trains on this route would
make tho road a better paying invest
ment than any other road, or section of
