Railroad News to Date.

Both passenger and freight traffic on
on the Clearwater short line show
heavy increase for October.
Between 10000 and $4,000 colonists
have gone into the far western, north.
western and southwestern states during
the months of September and October,
says the Railway World. The move
ment of homeseekers and settlers has
never before been so great in the history
OF western railroads. During the past
week, which was the last of the x33 rate
to the Pacific coast, the railroads carried
fully 10000 colonists out of Chicago, St.
Paul, st. Louis and other large cities in
the middle west. The Santa Fe alone
carried at least 5000 persons during the
week. Similar rates will be put into ef.
feet next spring, when, it is expected,
the movement of the last two months
will be exceeded, as thousands of in.
quiries are being received by every west
ern road regarding homes and conditions
in every part Of the west.
Considerable interest is manifest in the
work being done up the Clearwater by
the O. R. & N. surveying party. II is
confidently. believed that with the open.
ing of spring construction will be begun
by that road on a line extending to the
Camas prairie country. 1t is we'll known
that early in the summer party of high
officers of both the Northern Pacific and
0. X. & N. made tour of the Camas
prairie country. What these men saw
at that time is doubtless reflected in the
work of the surveying party. Should
the line be built it will doubtless connect
with the P. & I. N. road at Council, thus
giving an outlet to both the eastern and
coast markets for the products of that
rich section.
The Clearwater short line during
October was taxed to its utmost capacity
to handle the business rendered and the
condition for November promises to be
equally as heavy.

Thunder's First criminal Case.

Perhaps no new mining camp has had
so marked an absence OF law-breaking
and crime of various degrees as has the
Thunder Mountain section. There has
been practically no disorder of any kind.
The first criminal case occurred early last
spring, aud is considered to be possibly
the most fragrant violation Of law in the
camp and the severely with which the
matter was handled has probably deferred
others from any outbreak.
Bill Borden, desperate known az
"Sheep Herder Bill" who was then in
hard lines, though he subsequently Sc
cured several thousand dollars from the
sale of some mining property and which
he spent in less than month in Boise
was temporarily left in charge of the
camps then only bar and the booze had
not yet become acclimated to the square
and upright atmosphere of the new gold
camp, and still retained some of the ele-
ments of the land where it was distilled.
It inspired Bill to open the till and ex-
tract meerschaum pipe, butcher knife
aud $3.50. His crime became known in
short order and Borden was dragged be-
fore the tribunal of justice. He was tried
before Lige Woods, Ward Robinson,
Frank HAWTHORN and others and was in
formed in advance that if found guilty
he would be hnaged without ceremony
and if found innocent he would be ID.

The Wheat Smut Problem.
