Projected Line From Salt Lake to the
". Occur d'Alenes. 4,
The prospectus of the Seattle, Boise 81
Lalt Lake railroad has just been issued.
The paper sets forth the fact that the COM
pany is "a corporation duly organized and
incorporated under the laws of Idaho, on
the 9th day Of December, A. D. 1890, to
build a standard guage railroad from Salt
Lake City, Utah, northwesterly and north
erly to Cour d'Alene and in some point in
norther Idaho. on the Washington state line
convenient where from to continue on to
Seattle or some other point of the sound"
The capital stook is $40, 00O, 900 in zoe. 600
shares, of the par value of 800 each.
This road can truly and appropriately
be called the Idaho route and should be
considered by the people of Idaho as the
pet road of the state. Entering the state as
it does in the southwesterly portion thereof,
thence running northeasterly to the town
OF Payette, situated on the west side of the
state and midway between the north and
south boundaries, thence north to the
Occur d'Alene country, thus becoming the
connecting link of vitality Of the state, it
can properly be called the spinal road of
Idaho"
From the Snake river the road continues
OH northerly through the rich and fertile
plains of the western part of Ada county,
uAo y ~ ~ bAO AOoAoOS Rim
into the extensive and beautiful valley of
tho Payette river, where it reaches the
town of Payette. From this place the line
of road is continued northward through
Washington county, passing through the
rich and populous valleys Of Crane, Little
Weiser. Middle Fork of Weiser, Council
and Salmon meadows, tapping Middle val
ley, Salubria, Indian valley and the War
rem and Alton mining districts and Long
valley. And at Council valley the diver
gency is made to the famous cope mines
of the Seven Devils mining district and the
gold and silver mines of Placer basin, SUM
mer's Camp. Rapid river and Bear creek.
From the Salon Meadows the road will be
continued northward to the rich agrlcul-
tural and mineral localities of northern
Idaho, thus completing the vital and spinal
connection of the state and preserving it
into itself, and providing the long needed
avenue of transportation from one part of
the state to the other, as we'll az providing
an outlet for the whole.
The construction Of the road will be
commenced at the town of Payette for
the convenience of obtaining ties and tim
Der from the Payette river, and at which
place a junction can be made with the
Oregon Short Line road to receive rails and
other supplies needed in the construction.

read the report of an analysis made by Professor
Thomas Price d Son, of yolr spring water, l
found that it is not only a pure drinking water,
but it is of gre 1T therapeutic value for many dis
eases, viz: BlIiousness, indi ~sestion, constipa-
ton, liver, kidney and bad Ter diseases, as also
for those suffering with gravel. | am justified in
recommending your spring water to those SITTER

using the wator for two or three weeks it will re-
commend itself. Very truly yours.

Plate Glass and the Tariff.

In the year 1873 Mir. De Pauw, of New Albany, Ind, started the first plate glass works in this country. Possessed of a long purse and indomitable will, MT. De Pauw sank, it is estimated, over a million dollars before he succeeded in placing the industry on remunerative basis. Another enterprise in the same line was not long afterward begun at Crystal City, Mo-, near St. Louis, which also exhausted the resources of three or four stock companies. One of the great aids to the plate glass industry was the imposition of the present duty. Before this tariff was placed the representatives of the foreign companies invariably shaded the prices little below what the American manufacturer could afford to sell for. But with the foreign product barred out by formidable duty the American industry commenced to thrive. Improved processes and labor saving in ventions speedily reduced the cost of manufacture.
 The first plate glass made at New AL bany in 1873 cost $2.50 per square foot. Today the price averages from seventy five to ninety cents. Fifteen years ago of the total amount consumed per cent. only was American. Five years later the percentage had crept up to 30. Three years ago 70 per cent. represented the standing of American plate glass, and in the last two years the importation of plate glass for glazing has entirely ceased. There is a considerable amount of plate glass still imported for silvering, but it is confidently expected that this will soon stop. Plates for silvering must be of the finest quality, requiring careful selection.
 The demand on the American estab- lishments has been so urgent that it has been found impossible to select from stock plates for silvering. The quality of plate glass made in this country is said to be fully up to the standard re- quired for mirrors, and when American manufacturers shall have accumulated stocks large enough to permit of selec- tion for silvering, it is supposed that the importation of plate glass will cease en- tirely.-Chicago Economist.

"Siamese" Twins in Cannes.

"Infant phenomena" in the style of the Siamese twins have, according to a telegram received from Cannes, just made their appearance in village in the neighborhood of that town. The babies, who belong to the fairsex, are connected by ligament which binds them back to back, but, barring this eccentricity of nature, they are described as being re- markedly we'll formed, and apparently very healthy. Their mother is French woman of 25 summers, whose family had been settled in the village for years
 It is needless to say that the infants are being examined with considerable curiosity by the doctors in that part of the country, who are of opinion that the death of one of the twins would at once be attended with fatal results to the other, so that their lives may be regarded as hanging literally on a thread. This was the case with the Siamese twins, and with one or two other phenomena of the same character.-London Tit-Bits.

INTERNAL. COMMERCE.
Our Immense Dsmsstic Trade and Hou
 UnrivaIed Market.

I ~--~~ UnrivaIed Market.
 One or two comparisons will convey some idea of our stupeudous internal commerce. The tonnage which passed through the Detroit river alone during the 234 days of navigation in 1889 ex- ceeded by 2, ,46S, 127 tons the entire British and foreign tonnage which entered and cleared at LorAlon and Liverpool that year in the foreign and coastwise trade.
 The freight which passed through the St. Mary's Falls canal in 1890 exceeded by 2,257, ,S76 tons the entire tonnage of all nations which passed through the Suez canal in 1889.
 The freight carried on railroads of the United States in 1890 exceeded by over 8, ,000, 900 tons the aggregate carried on all the railroads of Great Britain, Ger many, France and Russia in 1sS9
 Commodities are interchanged among our own people with greater facility and at cheaper rates, distance being consid- cred, than in any other country on earth. The increase of national wealth and prosperity, largely due to this system of Protection to our home markets and do- nestle trade and to the generous devel- opmenS of these instrumentalities of commerce, has become the marvel of the world. Take few comparisons based upon the United States census of 1880, and upon figures furnished by MT. Mul- hall, the English statistician.
 In manufactures we exceed Great Britain in. 1880 by $1, ,579, ,570, ,191, France by $2,115,O ,0OO, and Germany by s, ,305, ,000, ,000. .. r". =.
 In products of agriculture we excelled Great Britain by S1 ,425, 900 ,000, France by $625, 100000, and Germany by $925,- l GOO, ,000.
 Our earnings or income for 1880 from commerce, agriculture, mining, manu- factures, the carrying trade and bank ing exceeded those of Great Britain from the same sources by $1 ,250, ,000, 900, France by $2,395, ,000, 900, and Germany by 8, ,775, ,000,0 900. ....
 In 1880 our home markets consumed about Sl0,000,000 worth of our own products, an amount equal to the entire accumulated wealth of Spain, three times the increase of wealth in Great Britain for ten years, and seven times the increase of France for the same pe- riod. Our home markets that year ab- sorbed five times as much of our manu- factured products as Great Britain ex- ported of hers to all the markets of the world.-From Secretary Windom's last | Speech

Bassett can't vote or exercise the rights of citizenship. On the other hand, however, he has no taxes to pay or jury duty to perform.
 When Bassett moved to this island it was covered with trees and underbrush. He cleared the ground, leaving only a few choice forest monarchs to afford him shade, built a comfortable house and surrounded it with flower and vegetable gardens. He lives alone and nothing is known of his early history, for about personal matters he is reticent. But when he comes in contact with his fel- lows, which is seldom, he proves de- lightful companion. Heis we'll educated, takes numerous papers and magazines and has an excellent library.

We have been successful in finding just the food, and now offer to the orange grower our Orange Tree Fertilizer" It Is an article thoroughly adapted to this tree, consisting of bone, potash, phosphoric acid ammonia and other ingredients, and is a complete manure for growing trees from time of setting out to full maturity Gophers will not work where this fertilizer Is .used, on account of their distaste for the phosphoric acid, which Is very helpful to the tree-either orange or lemon.

Arresting a Funeral Procession.

The police force of Cicero, suburb of Chicago, is continuing its war against funeral processions using Washington boulevard as thoroughfare contrary to ordinance, Last week a procession con- sisting of two carriages, on their way to the cemetery, was halted by the officers. The first carriage contained the body of a child. The carriages, drivers, mourn CTS and corpse were taken to the town hall, and fine was imposed upon one of the drivers who confessed knowledge of the ordinance. The funeral then pro- ceeded to the burying ground by an- other route. -Philadelnhia ledger.
