The Railroad Outlook.


Special to Spokane Review
Lewiston. Idaho, June 2.-lSpecial.]
RAILROAD matters have taken new
st,rt. Mr.. Howell, Of the well-known
contracting finn Of Mcdonald Howell,
left this morning in company with }. +.
Vollmer for Camas prairie to go over
the route and estimate the probable cost
of building a railroad from Lewiston to
Grangeyile. The road would be an ex.
tension of the Spokane & Palouse, and
will follow the route surveyed by the
Idaho Transit Company some four years
AGO. In the absence of authoritative IN
formation from the Northern Pacihc
heado,arters concerning railroad exten'
sion into this country by that corpora
ton the people Of the great Clearwater
basin are looking to other sources for
relief. PROMPT action Is being taken by
the citizens of Nez Perez and Idaho
counties to open negotiations WIN
view to induce George Hunt, protector
of the Hunt system, to visit this coun-
try and undertake the construction OF
railroad to develop the Clearwater basin.
The time is ripe for action and the peo-
ple will aid Literally the first company
which takes the field. The whest crop
in the fork of the Snake and Clearwater
will produce this year nearly l,OOO.000
bushels for export. Asotln county wili
have about the same quantity, all OF
which will be shipped through Lewis
ton. The Union Pacific line OF steam
boats are being rehtted with new ma
chinery in expection OF hauling the
crop. The acreage is larger than ever,
and the prospects for greater yield per
acre were never better. The backward
spring and long continued spell of cold
weather have given the stand fine
hold, deep in the soil. In fact Lewiston
and the Lewiston country are strictly in
IL this year.

A. F. Parker of Grangevile returned
from southern Idaho yesterday and re-
ports that President S. ii. II. Clark and
Fred l.. Ames Of the Union Pacific sys
tenn were in Omaha yesterday to confer
in regard to the construction of the Ida
no North South railroad which starts
from Weiser in south Idaho, follows up
the Weiser river to Salmon Meadows;
thence ascends the Little Salmon and
main Salmon rivers to White Bird;
thence crosses Camas prairie and the
Nez Perces reservation to theClehrwater
river; thence to Lewiston, This route
is entirely practicable and traverses the
richest mineral zone in the Pacific
northwest. Prominent citizens OF
Weiser, Lewiston and Camas prairie
were present at the conference and the
result, if favorable and speedily acted
on, will do more to develop the re-
sources of the heart of Idaho and adj
vance our interests more materially
than any other enterprise that could be
projected. The mineral wealth of Ida
no is far greater than that of Colorado
or Montana, and rapid transportation is
the one thing needed to put this COM
monwealth at the head of the list OF
mineral producing states.

No less an authority than the presi-
dent of the Institute Of Civil Engineers
has declared that the sulphurous vapor
produced during the combustion of coal
Is most beneficial TO the inhabitants Of
London, disagreeable as it undoubtedly
Is.
AS many as $50 tons of sulphur are
thrown into the air in one winters day,
and the enormous amount Of sulphurous
acid generated from it deodorizes and
disinfects the air, destroying disagree
able smells emanating from refuse heaps
and sewers and killing the disease germs
which find their way into the atmos-
phere.
There may be a good deal of truth in
this view, but there is undoubtedly an
other side TO the question. 1t is an old
comparison that a doctor and his drugs
bear a relationship to the patient and
the disease like that Of a policeman to-
ward a householder attacked by gar
roter. The policeman lays about with
his truncheon; sometimes he hits the
householder, sometimes the garrOter,
and the good or i'll which results from
his interference will depend upon which
party happens to get the most and the
heaviest blows.
This simile is admirably suited to sui
phurous acid in London fogs, for al
though it may be beneficial to the Lon
don householders by destroying mi
crobes it certainly frequently does them
harm by attacking their lungs and
bringing ON bronchitis and asthma,
which sometimes prove rapidly fatal, TO
say nothing of the minor discomforts Of
disagreeable taste, filthy smell, stuffed
nose, husky throat, smarting eyes and
headache.-London Lancet.

How many men like hard work? Many
Of us are ready enough to tax our minds
or our muscles to the utmost for a Ger.
tain object, but 1t is the object we love,
not the labor. If we could obtain the
end we covet without exertion, which OF
us would toll and sweat as a matter Of
choice? Horace Greeley, who was one
Of the hardest workers of his day and
generation, used to say that nine-tenths
of those who profess to be enamored of
work are mere hypocrites.
Adam himself was an indolent fellow.
Had it been otherwise the cultivation of
the soil would not have been imposed
upon him as a penalty for his disobedi-
ence. He was quite taken back when
told that ne must live by the sweat OF
his face. He would have preferred the
life Of q gentleman Of leisure, and most
Of his descendants take after him in
that particular. Nevertheless we toll
with an energy and perseverance that
do honor to our-shall we say to our
greed?
But mark our cunning. All the time
we are inventing labor saving machin-
cry, manufacturing dumb slaves to do
our bidding, while we look on and ad
mire their energy.-Pomona Progress.

Eccentricity, and nothing else, distin-
guishes the will proved in 1874 Of Henry
Trigg, of Stonage, of the county of
Hertford, grocer, who directed that his
body should be committed to the west
end of his hovel, to be decently laid
there upon a floor erected by his execu-
tors and only sixty years ago, it is said,
the bones Of Mr.. Trigg still remained
unburied in the rafters at the west end
of his hovel aforesaid. A provision,
quite as bizarre, was made in the will Of
the philosophic Jeremy Bentham, who
enjoined his executors to embalm his
corpse and dress it in the clothes which
he was accustomed TO wear in his life
time. in order that he might form the
text Of lecture TO be delivered annu-
ally at a literary institute held at a
school Of anatomy in Windmill street,
Haymarket.
On the occasion of one of the lectures
on Jeremy Bentham's mummy the ven
erable philosophers head fell of and
came to irremediable grief, whereupOn
an artificial head was modelled in wax
by Miss Margaret Gillies, the distin-
guished miniature painter, but the
mummy with the waxen head has long
since faded out of the public ken.-Lon-

II saw balloon ascension and para
chute drop down in Texas not so long
ago" said Ed Reeder, a well known ball
player now with one Of the Southwest
ern league clubs, "that was very inter
ssting. The balloonist Leroy made an
aerial trip from a small town near Aus
tin one day and was to make parachute
leap. When at an altitude of about
1000 feet he suddenly recollected that
his parachute was brand new one and
had never been tested. Not caring 10
risk the thing he attached fifty pound
sack Of sand (ballas) TO the parachute
and cut 1t loose. As he feared, the thing
failed to work right and did not open at
all.
"The sand and parachute dropped like
streak to the earth, gaining momentum
with every foot Of their descent until
they struck the wooden roof of house
below, crashing through it like through
80 much paper. The balloon scared aloft,
and in due time, as the hot air gradually
escaped sank slowly TO earth in the
midst of farm several miles from the
town. The farm hands had observed its
coming, and when it alghted seized
upon the airship, which was valuable
oiled silk affair, and claimed it as the
property of the owner of the land be-
cause it had landed there. The rights
Of Professor Leroy, who happened TO
have landed right with his property,
were entirely ignored. But the captors
were obdurate and finally the professor
departed
"He obtained a writ of replevin for his
balloon from the nearest squire, and q
constable shortly after restored the cap
tured airship to its rightful owner, The
hole in the roof Of the building caused
by the professors sandbag and the dam
age consequent thereto had to be re-
paired and settled for at his expense.
Had he taken the place Of his sandbag
at the parachute's handle the funeral
expenses would have far exceeded the
damage to the roof. f."-Cincinnat Times

Wilkie Collins made a speciality Of his
medical knowledge, and it was upon
this account that he was induced to un-
dertake an antivivisection novel, which
he published under the name of Heart
and Science" The work was equally
unsatisfactory both to the persons who
inspired it and to the general public.
Wilkie Collins effort in this direction
was a complete failure, and his medical
men and his wonderful drugs could
never have existed outside of his own
imagination.
