The Railroad Situation.

There have been but few developments
in railroad circles this week. The o. r .
& n. engineers are camped on the north
side of Snake river below the junction
of the Clearwater and they are definitely
locating the Snake River Valley road
between Lewiston and Riparia. This
section of road has not been definitely
located over large'portion of this route.
Every thing points to the early com
mencement OF campaign of construction
along this line. There are some camps
of rockworkers on this line. Ii seems
from the general appearance at this time
that this river line is to be made the
summer work of the O. r. & n without
any farther extension in this direction
The Snake River Valley road ends at
the junction of the rivers and it is
probable that the present places of con
struction do not include the Clearwater
valley route for this year
The Northern Pacific is prosecuting its
surveys down the south side of Snake
with good deal of energy. The Ellison
party of surveyors have proceeded as
far as the Kelly fruit farm and they are
locating as they proceed. This is the
Clearwater cutoff 1t is the intention to
extend this route to Pasco and thus effect
the long talked of cut off between the
Bitter Root Valley and the Columbia
river.
The Northern Pacific is prosecuting its
work of location toward the Bitter Root
mountains from the Clearwater river as
fast as the snow will let them proceed.
The o. r. & n. people are i'll the same
| region and the two companies seem to
be contending for the same passes out
| from the Clearwater with perhaps
different objective points on the summit
of the dividing range. The o. r. & n
people are pressing forward up the Lock.
saw branch of the Middle fork of the
Clearwater. The snow is deep in that
region and the supplies for the men are
conveyed by cordelling bateaux up the
swift stream
An observing business man remarks
( that these opposing roads are all the time
/ contending for the same narrow pass in
| all this broad district. He said it looked
to him like the object was to finally
compromise on one line and that the
| roads seem to think the conditions OF
compromise depend upon local adj
vantages along the river and in the
| passes.

Cutting Affray in the House.

The press dispatches of Monday said:
The hot blood engendered in the house
by the arbitrary rulings of Speaker Ev-
ans led to collision this afternoon in
which Representative Allen c. Hess, of
Fremont county, was slashed in the side
by Representative Averitt, also of FIRE.
mont. The affair caused an immense SEN
sation both in the house and throughout
the city, the news of it rapidly spreading
and the nature of the trouble as we'll as
the injury inflicted being greatly magni-
fed. Hess is not dangerously hurt.
though he has an ugly flesh wound i'll
his left side Just at the lower rib, He is
is in the hospital.
1t was all done SO quickly that very few
of the members saw the actual occurrence
but the foregoing are substantially the
facts in the matter.
There was immediately great uproar
in the house, but Speaker Evans raped
members to their seats, while Hess was
led out to the room of the president OF
the senate, where hurried examination
was made of his wound. He was bleed
| ing profusely. In little while a stretch
er was brought in and he was taken to
the hospital, where it was found he was
not dangerously hurt. The cash was
about two inches long, the knife having
struck lower rib.
Mr.. Averitt claims that he did not in
tentionally strike at Hess, and that he
does not know how the wound was in
flicted. This agrees with the statements
of persons in the galleries who saw the
occurrence and who state that Averit
threw out his arms spasmodically as h,
fell backward after receiving the blow
No arrest has been made and tonight eff
forts are being made by friends of botl
parties to hush the matter up.
Late tonight Representative Hes
made statement in which he claim
Averitt took out his knife during the con
troversy, and some time before the blov
was struck. Finally Averitt cut him
and he tHess) then used his fists.

The Buffalo Camp.

Sam SilNermaN, the great Buffalo pro
moter, was in the city over last night
He is on his way to Buffalo, in the inter
est of the Buffalo Development Company,
which is improving some valuable prop
erty this winter.
Mr.. Silverman saws good road is be
ing constructed by the way Of Badger to
Buffalo and that all travel will be by that
route i'll a short time This work is be
ing hurried SO that hoisting works for
development can be hurried on by the
company which purchased the Big Buff
falo. The Badger mill will also he taken
i'll over this road i'll the spring and set up,
with conceutrators added, to work ore
from these big mines. To the mill will
be added other machinery To meet the
demands as the ledges are developed
The camp will 60 forward till il will be
the Most active in the northwest next
summer.
Charley Rice SAID new company had
been organized, including three claims
i'll the heart of the camp, which is called
the Hump Mining Co. 1t is composed of
Spokane and British Columbia mining
men, with ample capital, and that devel-
opment work would begin on this prop
erty i'll about SIX weeks Charley Rice
has been elected manager of This compa-
ny, and he will have charge of the work
when it starts up,
The SHOW is very deep in the Buffalo
camp and it Is falling almost daily. Those
who have had charge of the road con-
structiou have had heavy falls of new
snow to contend with. The snow on the
hump is rs feet deep and it is believed
several feet more will fall within the next
six weeks, as March is the great snow
month for this region.

Prof. C. o. Knepper Dead.

Prof. c. o. Knepper, of the normal,
a brother of the president of that institu-
ton, died at the family home on the hill
last Monday morning at three O'Clock.
Prof. c. 0 Knepper has been engaged as
a teacher in the normal, only during the
present term of school. He has, how
ever, been a resident of this city for about
two years, during which time he has
made many friends and earned the re-
spect of all classes.
Prof. Kneppner has been an educator
for over forty years. He earned repu-
tation that is far more than local. He
is authority on subjects related to mental
science in the highest circles i'll the
United States. His search in psychology
has been of inestimable value in educa-
tional circles. He was recognized as
authority on this and kindred subjects
He took full theological course in ad-
diton to the usual classic college course,
for the single purpose of fitting him for
his life-work of teaching i'll the school
room and through the medium of the
press. He spent many years in the class
room and as superintendent of high
school systems. He was then called to a
chair of bellies lettres and literature in
the college at tMercersburg, Penn, where
he remained for a period of nineteen
years. He filled this place with degree
of proficiency that gained for him wide
reputation as thinker and writer along
special lines.
.xHe then became associated with his
brother Prof. G. E. Knepper in the
publication of the Santa Barbara Press
for a term of four years. He left that
post to establish an educational journal
which would be in line with his chosen
work. The Inland Journal of this place
was the outcome of that desire. This
Journal was the idol of his heart. He
may have failed of the realization of the
good work he hoped to accomplish with
out delays but he hoped even to the last
to make the Inland Journal power in
the western educational field.
| The loss of the distinguished educator
| is serious one. The obstruction of an
edi6ce that may have been the handi-
work of an artist is not distinct loss com
pared to bright mental light extinguish
ed. The artisans of the world cannot re
place the great mind in the sphere from
which it passed in death. Lewiston
mourns the loss of good man, and tn,
work he laid down will be interrupted
for long time before it can fully bs
taken up by another, equally efficient.
The funeral of Prof. c. o. Kneppel
was observed at the Methodist church il
this city yesterday. Rev. Smith wh'
had been pupil Of deceased delivered
the commemorative sermon. The nor
NAL school turned out in body and tn
pail bearers were chosen from the senio
class of the school in which he had beer

Volunteers from the West.

The New York Journal recalls the cir
cumstance that latter General Merritt
had been selected to command the Philip
pine expedition, he wrote letter to the
president from which the following is an
extract
II desire to point in very emphatic
terms to the fact that the volunteers
from the northwest are not as we'll drilled
or disciplined as those from any state in
the east or interior. For that reason |
urgently request the number of regular
troops have asked for"
These are the same volunteers re-
marks the Journal, that swan rivers,
faced hidden, savage foes, and engaged
them in hand-to-hand combat in the fight
ing around Manila. What they lacked
in drilling and discipline they made up
in native courage, dash and energy. !"

A dispatch from Boise indicates that
Lewiston normal will receive SI6,25S
from the state for the next two years.
This perhaps covers the bond issue for
the construction of the dormitories.
Even in this event the sum is quite
satisfactory to the friends Of the school
and it insures the continued good in
fiuences of this institution to Lewiston
and to the state.
The Odd Fellows of this city initiated
their iooth member last Tuesday night.
The lodge now has 100 members in good

Lewiston lodge the second If not the
FIRST in the state.

One of Lewiston's observing merchants
remarked this week that our present
need was factories. We want payroll.
In connection is cited the fact that even
a cracker factory would benefit this city.
The outlay for this one item of impor-
tation is enormous. and crackers could
be manufactured here as well as any
place in the world. The local trade de-
mands for this article would consume
the output Of large factory.

Dr. and Mrs. Inman received the sad
news Tuesday of the death of their son /,
Tracy Inman. This young man was a
telegraph operator and had been located
at Colfax for a long time before he en-
listed. He went into the signal service
as Manila volunteer after the volunteers
for field duty had gone. He was shot
while on duty by the rebel sharpshooters.
Word came first to the Red Mems lodge
in Colfax and through them was conf
manicated to the parents. He was first
reported wounded and later that he had
died. Tracy Inman was bright young
man of % years. He visited i'll
Lewiston last spring and will be remem-
bered by many here.
J. II. Harris was arrested yesterday for
selling intoxicants to Indians. Harris
kept small store at Spalding and car
ried several special brands Of bitters
which he sold to Indians. These bitters
were made by Spokane parties, and
were recommended especially for the In
dian trade. 1t turned out that they would
intoxicate, and the Indians soon valued
them highly on that account, and Mr.
Harris did good business for awhile fr
these medicines. He was finally arrested
on this charge, and will have hearing
this evening before Judge O'Neill.

A MINING BOOM.
The Silver State Will Climb on the Band
Wagon and Ride.

ThomasW ren, who has just returned
from an extended business trip through
Eastern Nevada, kindly furnishes the
Journal with the following interview on
the mining situation in this state:
A Eureka the miner are quite pros
porous. Mine owners complain tributers
will only commence work at 8 O'Clock in
the morning and quit at 3 and never work
on Saturday and Sunday but still make
money.
AT Hamilton only a few miners are
working but they are doing well.
1.-The Home Stake mine, formerly own
ed by Oscar j. Smith, A. Jackson and b.
L. Smith, but now l believe, transferred
to a corporation, bids fair to make a for
tune for its owners
AT Ely in White Pine county the
Chinaman mine, for a long time the prin-
clple mine in hat district, is looking re-
markably well. The owners are now
working it and have de, eloped a SPLEEN
did body Of ore. The ptr,I>s who had
the mine bonded mad 1t :nrlrre IA work
ing it through h ignorance and pin
headedness Of their employees.
The Robust company ..a>e developed
fine bodies OF ore, ~onis Of it shipping
ore, both copper and yuuj. In the Robust
mine they have their mill ready to run
and will be crushing ore in a few days.
"The Calumet copper mine IL doing
splendidly, showing fine bodies of ore.
1.-The Pauls, father and sons, who have
tho pilot EnNh md D-oo1- .zal
from Messrs. Cheney, Hip, Sadler and
Wren, have developed a body Of ore 80
feet in width, chiefly gold, most of it as
saying well, and in addition there is good
copper ore and a body of rich rock con-
tanning cinnabar and native quicksilver.
Eastern parties have sonded from
the owners of the Pilot kno and Brook
mines two copper mines, the Star n the
star of the West. for sixty days al $40.
600.
Numerous propositions to buy mines
are being made through eastern Nevada
There is a group of lead-silver, lead-zinl
and zinc mines. 22l miles north Of En-.
reka, n of which, mainly because higl
grade zinc ore has been found in il. ha,
recently been leased for two years mt
bonded for $4,000.
al the present time the indications ar,
that we are going to have a mining boon
in this State during the coming summer
Around Reno there are undoubtedl,
many valuable mining claims, and tn,
owners should put them in shape to tax,
adj vantage OF the boom.
"Forlnerly nothing but silver mine
and silver-lead mines were sought for il
his State, but now copper. zinc, silver
lead and gold mines with sufficient,
encouraging prospects find a read.
