A POLITICAL POINTER.

The republicans Of Idaho county
are whistling to keep their courage
up and profess to believe that they
have a chance to carry this county
at the next election. II their lead
ers will take the trouble to poll the
county they will find that the i'm
migration Of the last two years has
been heavily democratic, and that
they have about as much chance of
winning out on a full vote as they
have Of carrying Texas. When the
vote comes in from Green Greek,
Ferdinand, Keuterville, Cotton
wood and the reservation precincts
next fall they will be disagreeably
surprised at the unexpected devel-
opment Of democratic strength in
old Idaho county. Meanwhile, the
republican brethren have our per-
mission to keep on whistling.

THE RAILROAD SITUATION.

We may say with authority that
the route to be adopted by the rail
road from the Clearwater river to
Camas Prairie and Grangeville is
not yet settled, and for all practical
purposes the Clearwater railroad
war is still on between the North
ern Pacific and Union Pacific COM
panies. But that one or both OF
these roads will in the near future
build into this section is beyond
reasonable doubt. The Union Pa
cific system has it's right-of-way
located and paid for from the Clear
water river at Peck through the
Big and Little canyons to Nezperce,
Cottonwood, Denver and Grange
vile, this route giving the best
grades which have yet been found.
The Northern Pacific have sur
veyed an entirely practicable route
from Sites, the present terminus,
to Grangeville, and while their
right-of-way is not yet purchased
there is hope in the fact that their
filings in the general land office
have specified this route as their
finally located line. The probable
outcome of the deadlock may re-
suit in the construction of both
lines on these routes. Camas Prai-
rie is big enough and rich enough
to support two railroad lines, and
whatever temporary arrangements
may be entered into by the riva1
companies, they will be merely
temporary, and two lines Of rail
road is what we will ultimately get

Comment from susquehanna.

The Susquehanna Transcript of Sat-
urday contains the following comments
on the game that was to have been
played in that place, but was stopped
by rain:
"'Our Pets of Carbondale scheduled
to cross bats with the home team at
Beebe's park this afternoon, are accom-
panied by fifty 'rooters,' who upon
their arrival We're met, welcomed and
accorded the freedom of this city,"
"The mere mention of ball game
between Carbondale and Susquehanna
seems sufficient to bring rain"
>'"Michael Kilrow, Great Bends hand
some base ball player, who is filling an
engagement with the Susquehanna
team, Notwithstanding the unexpected
rain, was contentedly picking his
teeth on the Cascade house porch this
afternoon"
Susquehanna has two paid men from
out of town, this year. They are
schmaltz, of Pittston, one of the four
Pittston brothers. who is catcher. and
kilrow, of Great Bend, who is a fielder.
OGara, formerly of Carbondale, is still
pitching, Notwithstanding the stories to
the contrary that Schmaltz was to go
in the box.
Susquehanna will play in this citv
with the Crescents the first week of
August.
