A Road up the Palouse.

The attention which the Ruby creek
has been receiving of late, has
not been confined solely to those in
terested in the mines there. Railroad
men have also taken into consideration
the question of revenue to be obtained
by providing facilities for transporting
the rapidly increasing output OF the
mines, and from reliable sources it is
learned that the Northern Pacific will
extend their spur at Palouse City,
which connects with the Skeels mill,
on into the Ruby creek country. The
route decided upon will be up the
Palouse river to near Starner; from
there it will diverge southwark and
cross the divide into the Potlatch,
through nat ural pass, and thence on
to Ruby creek.
Such road would be of greatest
benefit to the country through which
it would pass, and be sure of receiving
heavy business, not only from the
mines, but from the vast timber ship
ments which would come from thu
belts it would open up and which would
thus be made marketable. To thu
mines especially it would prove a yer!
important factor, as the large quantities
of low grade ore which are now value
less, owing to the cost of transportation
could be utilized at profit and tn
mines made doubly productive. 1t j
reported that those who are most in
terested in this extension are desirou
of turning the business of the mines
which must increase from develop
ment-to Spokane.-Rain Belt.

Masque Ball.

Samuel ], Pritchard, deputy United
States marshal and secretary of the Re-
publican central committee of Idaho.
was Friday, at Oreana, Owyhee county,
shot and instantly killed by Constable
William Fleming. At the present
writing the bloody deed appears to
have peen cruel butchery. A special
from Reyolds Creek at 7:30 o'clock of
the same night related that Pritchard,
who had been drinking to some extent,
had had quarrel with man whose
maine was not given, and whom he
chastised. A warrant for his arrest
was placed in the hands of the con-
stable. Fleming found Pritchard sitting
in one Of the stores ut Oreana, which
is small place twenty miles east of
Silver City, and he Immediately or
dered him to throw up his hands.
Pritchard, evidently very much sur
prised, did not do SO. Almost inn
mediately the constable fired three
shots. Pritchard died almost instantly
1t was afterward found that the un.
fortunate man was unarmed, proving
the murder to have been wholly unnec-
essary. The news of the crime was a
great shock to many of the citizens Of
Boise, and last night it was the sole
topic of discussion. Pritchard was In
town only a week ago. He was always
quiet and unassuming, and many peo
pie were under the impression that he
was not drinking man. Pritchard
had great many friends. In 1880 he
was elected assessor of Owyhee county
Several months ago he was appointed
a deputy by United States Marsha
Pinkham, and the latter said last nigh
that Pritchard had been one OF his bes
men. The victim of the tragedy wa
a man Of about 35 years. He leaves
wife and one child, who reside a
Oreana. United States Marshal Pink
J ham will leave today for the scene G
the murder.

Electric Lights.

Lewiston will have electric lights in
twenty days. The Lewiston Water 4
Light Co. have their plant in part al
ready on the ground and many of the
fittings will be put up this week. F.
w. Kettenbach reports that the COM
pany will be ready by April first to
furnish both arc and incandescent
lamps. The Edison Co. has made a
bond to have the plant in operation by
that time. Lights can be furnished
with from four to fifty candle power, as
desired by the applicant. Many have
already made application for the ser
vice and the lines will be put up this
week. The plant will be put up and
operated from the water works engine
house. Wires and fittings have been
bought for 500 lamp service. The
company will have a complete supply
of ornamental fittings on exhibit at the
Office and will be pleased to have its pa
irons call and examine. The plant as
run at present will furnish power and
light till II p. m, but arrangements
will be made in the fail to give an all
night service. The rates are placed ex
ceptionally low and are the ones used
in the Olympia Co., water power
plant and are consequently very low
Lights for commercial purposes will bt
placed in for $l.25 to $3.50 per month
depending on the number taken. Fol
private houses the rates viii! be 81 q
per light, down to SOC, depending or
the service required. These rates arr
lew and reasonable, and more than I
hundred lights have already beel
placed by the company.

"Will the result have any damaging
effect on the success of the Republican
party in Idaho?"
Not the slightest. Nor would Il

if had been unseated and Claggett
given the senatorship. There are more
Republicans in Idaho than there are
Democrats. They are Republicans be-
cause they believe the best interests Vt
the state and country are conditioned
on the success of Republican principles,
They are not Republicans because
Ciaggett or myself are, nor win they b

Senatorial Contest.

The famous Idaho contested election
case is at last ended. After weeks of
discussion and after Claggett's persist
ent fight for whole year, the senate
has decided to seat Dubois. The vote
was 55 yeas, 5 nays.
A vote was reached after Gray had
contributed few remarks in favor of
Claggett, and Morgan had offered a
resolution which the senate by decid-
ed majority declared out of order.
Morgan's resolution was intended ap-
parently to correct an alleged legisla-
tive mistake in Idaho, but it really
would have legislated Dubois out of
his seat.
When the test question was finally
reached, every republican present, ex-
cept Stewart and twenty democrats,
voted for Dubois. Sanders would have
voted for Claggett but he was paired
with Power, absent on account of sick
ness. Eight democrats who would
have voted for Claggett were paired
with republicans who would have voted
for Dubois. The negative votes were
George, Harris, Kyle, Pascoe and
Stewart.
The announcement Of the vote was
greeted with demonstrations of pleas
ure. Dubois was Immediately sur.
rounded by prominent senators who
warmly congratulated him. In The
senate lobby a large number of his
friends here were congregated and hs
held a continued ovation.
When a reporter asked him to sa,
something, now that the case wa
ended, Senator Dubois said: "The ter
mination of the contest is not surpris
ing to me. l admit that Clagett re
ceived more votes than expected h
would. 1t seemed certain to me, evel
to the day when the committee re
,, ported, that he could not get vote
His thanks are due to Stewart for hi
, votes, as, without this gentleman's re
, markable energy, there would hav

LEWISTON. IDEH0. NERcH 10. 1892.

Rev. Sam'l Woods has just received
a Sunday school library of fifty volumes
which will be opened for the use of the
Sabbath school of the Presbyterian
church perhaps by next week. This
is move in the proper direction.
Lewiston is greatly in need of public
libraries, reading rooms and other ele-
waiting influences. We are glad to note
that some one is working energetically
in this field.
The l. 0. O. F. lodge have decided
upon a brick building and have let the
contract this week to Harry Madgwick
for $1,000. The building as now plan
ned will be two stories with seven
foot basement. The first floor will be
a store room and is to be occupied by
the Mitchell 4 Lewis, Staver Co. The
second floor will comprise the lodge
room, spacious hall 80 by SO feet with
II foot ceiling, two ante-rooms and q
club room. The whole building is tt
be 50 by SO feet with an iron front. II
will be handsome and serviceablt
building when completed, and the
lodge as well as the city is to be con
graduated that the change was made
from the proposed frame structure. AL
week the teams have been busy max
ing the excavations for the basement
and the foundations, and rock is nov
being hauled to lay them.
