walla walla Statesman.
Capt. McCarty is one of the
survivors of the White Bird
fight, which took place in
White Bird canyon, near Sal
mon river in 1887. Now that
the bodies of the slain have
been removed to Walla Walla
he proposes to erect a monu-
ment to their memory at his
own expense. The idea is a
good one, but he should not
be allowed to pay the whole
expense himself, although he
is perfectly willing. He was
sergeant major of the First
Cavalry at that time, and his
own escape was little short of
miraculous.

A Little Shooting Scrape.

There was a shooting scrape at Cotton
wood last Saturday night in which Price
Yandell came very near passing in his
checks. The young man had been on
the rampage and terrorising the town
for some time past, and Saturday even
ing, after making a show of himself in
Nugents place. he started over to the
Cottonwood house and attempted to run
w. III. Chambers out of it at the end of
pistol. Chambers seized Spencer
rifle and blazed away at the aggressor
and shot hole through his cheek which
put timely check upon his career, for
he was fast drifting into bold, bad
mana sort of character for which this
community has no earthly use. Cham
bers came over and surrendered him
self, but the testimony was 50 strong
that the shot was fred in self defense,
that he was promptly discharged. There
are number of hoodlums in this town
who are rapidly going to the dogs and
who will surely be shot dead in their
tracks unless they take warning by
fandell's fate and mend their ways.

The agricultural College.

Matters connected with the
Agricultural College move
ment are progressing favora-
bly,. The meetings in the
country have been we'll attend
ed and much interest has been
manifested, and many enthusi-
astic workers are up and doing.
The subcommittee met yes
terday in Grange hall and
heard reports, and had a gen.
eral discussion of the matter,
with the result that much pro-
gress has made out of the in
terchange of views. Several
liberal propositions are said to
have been made in behalf of
sundry localities, but it is
deemed bad policy to create
discord by introducing local
rivalries. These will there
fore be ignored and the matter
will be proceeded with, solely
with a view to secure the To-
cation of the College on Camas
Prairie in the first place
When this is accomplished,
then the claims of the several
local candidates can be con-
sidered. Everything thus far
has progressed very harmoni-
ously, and there is really a
good prospect of our capturing
the College.
The executive committee
will meet at Grange hall to-
morrow, Saturday, morning,
and the final mass meeting at
one o'clock p. m.

Elk Cry. Dec. 8. 1890,

Elk City, Dec s, $780,
EDITOR PREss:-You wished to have
the views of your readers as to the best
method of getting a wagon road into
Elk City. As this is what we need here
very much, for the benefit of the far
mer as well as the miner, | will give
you what think will be the best plan.
Give some one person or company q
charter for toll road for certain num-
Der OF years, say ten. Perhaps by that
time the county will be able to buy the
road. This is the best way l know Of to
get road. There are great many
taxpayers that object to being taxed for
read in here because it would not ben
eht them any-that is they say so.
Therefore toll road would not hurt
them any unless.they used it. 1t would
only tax those who travelled over the
road. La the next place, it would be i,
better road than the county or state
would build-it would be kept in better
order than either one would keep j..
That Is my experience with roads in
California. For an example, whenever
there was camp struck that payed, no
matter how far back in the mountains,
or how difficult of access, there would
be road to it. Had it not been for toll
roads they would have been like Elk
% years behind the times. | drove
freight teams over a number of those
roads when they were toll roads and az
ter they had passed into the hands Of
the county, but they never were as
good roads by half as when they were
toll roads, That is why | advocate toll
road in here, but if any one has better
way let us hear from them through the
Press. Not only any one but every one
who is interested in the welfare of Ida
ho county. PRosPEcToR.

A Creditable Institution.

There is probably no one individual
enterprise which can accomplish more
to build up or pull down town than a
hotel. In this particular Grangeville
can congratulate itself upon having ex.
traordinary good luck, as in the case Of
the Jersey House We have hotel that
can hold its head up in every particular
with the best in the land. The comfort
OF guests, whether transient or perma-
nent. is carefully looked after, and the
table is SO liberal that a complaint is
never heard. Landlords of hotels and
eating houses as a general rule in this
western country are the very last to
learn the important lesson that a good
table creates good business, and that
when person pays so cents for a meal
he is at least entitled to get something
for his money. Mr.. Edwards, of the
Jersey House, is conducting hotel that
is credit to the town, and as natural
result he is prospecting accordingly. He
showed us through his cellars the other
day, and there we saw fruits and vege-
tables and other good things stored
away in quantities sufficient to feed an
army

The Blockade Stiil On.

Telesraphic dispatches from San
Francisco are to the effort that the
snow blockade on the Central Pacific
is still as formidable as ever. 1t is
understood that the railroad company
is trying to communicate with Reno
by wire for the purpose OF ordering
trains back to Ogden, says the Com
mercal, so as to transfer their pas
sengers to the Southern ronte. In
some places in the Sierra Mountains
the snow is reported to be sixteen
feet deep Tho mistake the Central
Pacific made, was not providing rotary
snow plows earlier in the season. 1t
is another instance of locking the door
after the horse is stolen.

as to the Mormon question in Idaho
politics on the line of Mormon tactics
Wilson, Budge's attorney, stayed
away and the committee adjourned
until Friday morning. Wilson has
delayed the discussion now for three
weeks. 1t is thought that his non.

WAS to aid Dubois and Mcconnell in

that in the immediate neig hborhood OF

hay is for sale and would be Dough,
and fed the starving animals if the
owners, who must know that stock is

THE fight On THE SIERKAS.

Salt Lake Tribunc.)
In his sun-burst on Napoleon, Col.
1"gersoll speaks OF the Russian win
ter "where the infantry of the snow
and tho cavalry Of the wild blast
scattered his legions like winters
with-red leaves" One thinks of
that while contemplating the unequal
battle which the eleven thousand
workmen Of the Central Pacific Rail.
road Company have bee" engaged,
amid the higher Sierras, during the
past twelve days. There the infantry
Of the snow has pressed such an attack
AZ it never does on the low lands of
Russia; there the wheeling squadrons
OF the wild blast have charged inces-
sanity aud made all efforts to oppose
them vain. There, too, the frost has
joined with the storm and all the
terrors of the mountains have been
called up to intimida,e the workers.
The voices OF the streams have died
away; the mighty pines have intoned
the anthems of the winds, and closer
and closer has the tempes, drawn its
white win,ling sheet around the hushed
mountains, as though the world had
died and the old undertaken winter
had been sent to compose it for its
everlasting rest. To blaze trail
through this an Amy Of men and all
tho available steam power Of the com.
pany has been struggling. In such a
contest the utmost that human power
can accomplish is to held its place un.
til the storm exhausts itself. The
present has been the hardest fight in
the history Of the road, at least since
the lower sheds were constructed.
The fountains OF the great deep seem
to be broken up on this side of the
continent, and tho precipitation has
been something fearful. Measured IN
water 1t is near Y six feet in depth,
measured in snow it is twenty, and
when the wind comes to roll this awful
mass irto drifts, they simply become
mountains, The infantry of the snow
and the wheeling sqnadrons of the
wild blast make together something
before which the locomotive itself
tires and gives up, and nothing can
10 done until the storm has spent it's
force and the sullen winds have gone
back, lamenting, to their caves.
