A Spring Rush.

Extensive preparations are in progress
to meet the demand for transportation to
the mines in the spring. w. +. Travis
will have seventeen coaches on the route
between Lewiston and Buffalo. 1t is
planned to put two big daily coaches Oh
regular schedule next month, and with
these will be extras in waiting to meet
all emergencies, This one line alone
will employ 100 horses and fifty men.
A daily stage will carry the mail on
time by Waha, but the extras will go by
the Fountain road as soon as it is iii good
condition The trip will be made i'll one
day to Grangeville. The coaches will be
the very best Concord thoroughbraces,
and the travelling public will be provided
with every convenience.
In addition to Mr. Travis regular mail
| line there will be independent lines and
private conveyance in this service. 1t i.
estimated that hundreds of men will &C
over this road daily soon as spring opens
Besides the preparations for convey
ance, there must be eating houses al
along the road. 1t will require elaborate
preparation to meet these demands, no
only here in Lewiston, but all along th'
line, a distance of $50 miles, and at TIN
destination--at Buffalo, at Florence, a
Elk and at Badger.

The Seven Devils Road.

The New York Financial News of
February g, contains this important in
formation concerning the road which it
is proposed to build down the Snake
river:
THE Northwest Railway company has
executed a contract for the completion of
its line from Maggie, Ore, to Tramway
Junction. The road is already graded
for number of miles out Of Maggie. The
contractors are Orman & Crook, of
Pueblo, Col. who built the Colorado
Midland railroad, and have done much
other railroad construction work i'll the
Rocky Mountain regions and its canyons.
Mr.. J. b. Ornan, senior member of the
firm, is the present mayor of Pueblo.
"The contract is dated February I.
Work must be begun on the contract
within IS days from the date and must
be completed within six months under
the usual daily cash penalties.
"This shortens the date of the opening
of the Seven Devils copper country OF
| Idaho by three months, as compared
with previous statements. The hasten
| ing of the work is due to an effort to re-
lieve the stringency in copper which, il
has been remarked, is now scarcer than
gold.
1.-The specifications show that the road
is to be constructed upon the best up-to
date standard models, and Will be a frs
class line i'll every way"

Where Major McC0nville was Killed

A special to the New York Herald
gives the following thrilling account of
the battle of Manila and thus describes
the incidents in which the Idaho boys
participated:
The troops waded the stream and
marched into the open as if they were on
drill. From the stone houses, nipa huts
and earthworks the enemy poured bullets
upon the Americans, while Battery D. Of
the Sixth artillery, uuAer Captain Dyers,
and Hawthorne's separate Montana bat
terry continued to shell the enemy
inagni6cently over the heads Of the adj
vancing troops.
AT San Pedro Macati the position Of
the insurgents seemed inpregnable, but
Lieutenant Haven, Of Company !, A,
Engineers Corps, forced way back OF
the town, and, by plutky work, made the
position untenable for the enemy.
Washington troops swan the estuary
under fire, and later the Idaho troops
with one company Of Washington men
swept the insurgents toward the left.
One hundred of the Filipinos jumped
into the Pasig river, but only twenty sue
ceeded in getting across the stream.
The village was burned on every side
to dislodge the guerilas The smoke o
fire and battle encircled the city.
An improvised river gunboat, witt
Captain Randolph, of the Third artiller,
commanding, riddled Santa Ana with it
guns. The Idaho troops charged thu
bastion fort, and Major McConville wa
killed. Two Krupp guns were captured
Sixty-6ve dead insurgents were found II
one heap. The rice fields were dotte'
with dead and wounded Filipinos. TIL
hospital corps did splendid work TO
both friend and enemy.
The insurgents, once dislodged, ra
miles back into the country, all alon
the line swept by the First division.

A Magnificent Production.

A Cuban war play founded upon our
late war with Spain should be an attrac-
ton above all others to win the hearts of
our citizens The Prisoner Of Spain is
said to contain some we'll known actors.
The unfailing success of this play is i'll
part owing to the splendid and pictur-
esque scenery with which the piece is
dressed--the stage settings are as &C
curate in detail as they are beautiful in
effect. The comedy is first class and the
dramatic element is singularly fascinat-
ing, possessing as it does stirring and
romantic martial spirit, tempered with
the qualities Of refined and high class
drama. The play is in every way de
serving of the remarkable success which
has attended it. I'd be at the Grostein s
Binnard opera house Feb. az.

Sh0up and the VOlunseers.

The pressure on western senators and
representatives to secure the discharge Of
soldiers now at Manila has not abated
since the Instruction ofthe Filipinos has
broke out, says special to the States
man Since the signing Of the protocol
letters have been coming into Washing
ton from soldiers and their relatives and
friends asking for individual discharges
Senator Shoup, of Idaho, has been es-
pecially busy in the war department try
ing to secure the discharge of Idaho vol
unteers, particularly those members who
because Of sickness or important BUSH
ness wish to come home, and those I'M
der age who desire to return to complete
their education; but owing to the urgent
necessity of retaining the troops in the
PHILIPPINES until the arrival of the regu-
| lars, and the fact that if even discharged
| the men could not return until the ar
rival of the transports at Manila, the de-
partment has steadily declined to grant
any discharges. No senator has been
more proud Of the troops from his state
or more industrious for their interest
than Mr. Shoup, and the failure to secure
the discharge Of the Idaho volunteers AZ
a regiment or individually has been duo
solely to circumstances entirely beyond
his control.
The senator feels deep sympathy TO
the relatives and friends of those heroe
who have lost their lives in defense o
their country, and said to-day: II desir
to extend my coincidence to the relative
and friends Of fallen Idahoans, and t
express my grief over the death OF $
many of Idaho's brave sons who hav
gone down to never-dying fame and ever
lasting glory. l trust all those now q
Manila will be spared to return safely q
the earliest possible date.
Senator Shoup, approaching the &C
yantages to the western volunteers of
complete toar aronnd the world, has r.
. quested the adjutant general to retur
them to this country via the Suez cana
!, He is very hopeful Of securing favorab
!, action upon this request, as it is his d
sire that these soldiers may receive a
possible advantages from their enlis
ment.
The senator has also asked that trav
>, paw be allowed to all volunteers who d
r. sire to remain in Honolulu or Manila
: ter their discharge, and he believes IL
RI will also be granted.
