rect outlet for the product of the smelters

The above is from the Salt Lake
Tribune, of the l7lh inst, and is part
of an interview that journal had with
W. L. Andrews, manager (?) of the
Seven Devils Copper Company, of
Washington county, Idaho. The
statement that Mr.. Andrews is man
ager OF said company strikes the
people of Weiser rather suddenly, as
we have all been under the impression
that Isaac Blake had some claims to
that distinction. But some other
statements in the interview lead us
to conclude that this is another enter
prise heard of here for the first time.
For instance, il WAS stated that the
erection of smcltcr was begun and
would be blown in under the direc-
ton of Mr. Andrews Sept list This
news comes with such suddenness
as to be startling. The statements
regarding the railroad proposition
are a remarkable veriGcaton OF the
adage, "lhat it is always better not
to know so much, than to know so
much that isn't so. AS Mr. An
drews has never visited the locality
that he paints in such rosy colors,
the conclusion is that he has been
imposed upon numerically. The
idea of railroad ''sixty miles out of
Huntington to Snake river on the
east, and again, of completed
grade for the projected road, " are
such absurdities AS to hardly cause
comment here where the facts are
known, but to the outside world |
might pass for facts Wa wish 70

RErRIBUTION.

That the discovery Of immense de.
posits of gold in the Klondyke and
along the line of our northwest bound
airy should lead to trouble with Eng
land, is only reasonable conjecture
and our next war with that people
will be for the control of the Arctic
gold fields. This apple of discord
has been cast down between the two
nations for purpose. For greed of
gold both have sacrificed every at
tribute of humanity and of national
honor, and covered the earth with
crime and misery. Gold you want,
gold you shall have, and the price
thereof shall he blood and suffering.

Union Pacific Master Mechanic Shot Down
by Discharged EMPLOYEE.

Ellis. Kas-, Aug is e II Easter
brook. division master mechanic of the
Union Pacific Railroad. with hcadquar-
lcrs here. was shot and mortally wound
ed ut o'clock tonight by William Leach.
u discharged employee. who waylmid him
on the principal street of the town.
Leach, who had been drinking, fred
four bullets into the lungs and stomach
of his victim. Leach was arrested and
taken to Hays City. it being considered
advisable to take him out of town owing
TO the great excitement over the shooting
Easterhrook cannot live. Leach blam-
ed Mr.. Easterbrook for his discharge.
The above is fully as serious and
worthy of notice as was the shooting
of Mr.. Canovas, and the chances are
that E. II. Easterbrook in his way
did more good for the world, and
less harm than the late prime minis
ter of Spain, and the real cause of
these bloody events is obvious to any
thinking person, but unfortunately a
cause is never tangible enough to re-
ceive punishment by legal means.

A PROFITABLE POLICY.

A Portland Commercial publica
ton gives the following list of YES
sells that are to transport the products
of this north west county to for
eign market
The list shows % British ships,
American and | German, and out of
Il total tonnage of 43, All tons only
l710 tons are American, showing
that under existing laws the products
OF our soil and mines must, at the
outset, begin the payment of tribute
to foreign countries, and this in face
Of the fact that the United States by
virtue Of its immense sea coast and
internal water avenues should be the
leading maritime power Of the earth
Increased protection to American
ships and more exclusive methods
regarding foreign, would not only
extend our commerce, but would es-
tablish an ocean prestige that would
make our flag familiar object in
lands that now so seldom see it that
it is an object of curiosity, and the
great nation whose emblem it is n
questionable myth But, praise God,
horn button factories and such are
duly protected

state that the grade aforesaid is a

intended for a wagon road, and not
practicable for that. With grades
from 8 to 20 per cent, and, as it has
not been used for the past seven
years, is at present in u dilapidated

for five years more than to suffer the
results of a failure that would surely
follow this ridiculous transportation
scheme.

Count of Turin and Prince Henri,
Of Orleans, have just pulled Off II
duel with swords AS this is the
first instance on record among this
class where any blood was ever shed
IN like encounters, the event fills the
people and press of France and Italy
with amazement and horror. Prince
Henri was slightly wounded in the
fracas and the Count lost a suspender

cowboys fought II duel with pistols
the other day, and when it was all
over it was found that each man had
six bullet holes in his body That

1t is reported that, beginning next
October, Explorer Nansen will deliver
in this country a series of fifty illus

Lee Merriwether, one of the candi-
dates for the mayoralty in st. Louis,
came into notice few years ago by a
lively little book telling how he saw
Europe on 80 cents a day.
1t is said that Ras Alula, the great
Abyssinian chief whose death may en-
courage Italy to another Abyssinian
campaign, began life as groom. He
erded it by freeing his country.
1t is rumored in Paris that Prince
Henri dOrleans, who is now on his
way to Abyssinia, has other than sci
entific objects in view, and that his
journey is made in the interests of a
great commercial and mining syndi-
cate.
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,, is
said to be one of the best read men in

memory, and can quote in an instant's
notice the particular verse or passage
of prose which he regards fitting for
any particular occasion.
