Clearwater NdriOdtiOsl,

The following circular regarding
the navigation of the Clearwater
river was sent out by the general
freight department of the o. r. &
N. CO.:
PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. II, 1895.
To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
An experimental trip was made
by this company with the steamer
Lewiston on the 9Th day of May,
1895, to point within five miles
of Grier's ferry on the Clearwater
river for the purpose of determin-
ing whether the navigation of that
stream would be practicable dur
ing the season of high water.
The results of the venture were
satisfactory. On July 8, 1895.
Captain Baughman started in a
small boat from a point on the
south fork of the Clearwater Cat
the mouth of Big Cottonwood
creek) for the purpose of taking
soundings. His report is as fol-
lows:
"From the middle fork down,
the river is navigable-that is
about six miles above Kamiah.
find no more fall in any place than
where we turned back on the Sth
of May. We were then within
about twenty-five miles of the head
of navigation with the most of the
river good. There is one large
rock in the middle of the channel
in short bend about eight miles
below Kamiah that will have to be
taken out before it will be safe to
come down with loaded boat"
/ 1t has subsequently been arrang-
ed to remove the obstruction re-
ferred to before the close of the
present year. This is to give no.
tice to all persons interested that
the Oregon Railway and Naviga.
ton Co. has added the Clearwater
river to it's system of river lines
for the purposes of navigation. II
is assumed that owing to the shall.
low water between the mouth O.
the Clearwater river and "a point
below Fort Lapwai that service
cannot be given at other times dur
ing the year than the months o
: April, May and June, with tn,
possibility of March also; all de
pending upon the length of sprin.
r season, and provided suificien
traffic offers.
All persons interested in thi
+ matter are requested to call the at
tention of the representatives G
g the state of Idaho at Washington
ID. c., to the practicability of navi
: eating the Clearwater river, and t
r recommend that suitable apprC
a priation be made by Congress t
improve the channel of that river
e that it may be navigated as lon
n as it may be found possible to d
v so. 1t is thought that proper in
e provements will put the river i
n shape to be operated possibly 81
q months of the year if not more.

TOOK the Landlord at His word.

Inhabitants of that part of the Thir
teenth reimbursement Of Paris known as
the Avenue de Choisy are in a state of
exuberant hilaritY owing to a comic
case of substitution which happened in
that neighborhood. M. Schmitt, re-
tired noncommissioned officer of the

mentioned, and he kept dog in it in
defiance of the stipulation relative to
specimens of the canine race contained
in the agreement with his landlord. The

presence Of the dog and said that he
would tolerate any other animal on the
premises except the beast known as the
friend of man. PAS de Chiens" was
the landlords motto, and NJ. Schmitt
took note of the statement about any
other animal. He accordingly chartered
q full grown donkey, helped the quad
ruped up stairs and let it loose in his
kitchen.
All went we'll during the night, but at
the break of day the donkey awoke all
the people in the house by braying in
approved equine style. The unacccCs-
toned sound at the early hour, proceed
ing as it did from the center of the
house. caused a panic among some Of
the tenants, who rushed out of their
rooms and sought shelter in the porter 5
lodge. The landlord was summoned to
the spot, and, the donkey having been
discovered, NJ Schmitt was directed to
appear before the local police commits
sary, who formally charged him with
creating nuisance in his house. The
old soldier arpued his case enerpeticallV
and maintained that the landlord had
empowered him to substitute the donkey
for the dog. He was told to reserve his
defense for the magistrate who was to
try the affair. London Telegraph.
