SNAKE RIVER CANYON ROUTE.
Point Selected for Crossing to the
Idaho Side of River.

George Henderson, one of the men,
bers of the oregon Short Line survey
ing party which has been engaged in
closing up the surveys on the Lewis
ton Huntington road, arrived in the
city yesterday afternoon and left last
night on business connected with the
railroad, says the Lewiston Tribune.
While chatting with reporter last
evening Mr.. Henderson said that the
maps and profiles of the Snake river
road between the two cities had been
sent to the headquarters of the COM
pany in Omaha and he looked for
some interesting announcements at
an early date. In view of the fact
that the sections of the road from the
mouth of Burnt river to the Iron
Dyke mines had been already let, Mi.
Henderson was of the opinion that
other sections would be given to the
contractors in the near future.
Mr.. Henderson stated that Engineer
Jordan's party which left Huntington
in April last, and which is just clos
ing the survey in the vicinity of Pitts
burg landing, found many of the
preliminary stakes set out by 7. A,
Clarke's exploring party which was
sent out from Boise in 1882 by the
Union Pacific, and which reached
Lewiston in July, 1888. The stakes
were set in rock foundations and rs
years have not obliterated all of them,
| The Jordan party lost one of its men,
hers, W. E. Stark, who was drowned
in the swamping of boat In the
Box conyon country, and when the
remaining members came upon the
graves OF Martin Love and Black
ledge, drowned a quarter Of century
before while helping Engineer Clark
explore the precipitous canyon, they
huilt up the neglected mounds, and
placed wild mountain flowers upon
them. Love and Blackledge lost theil
lives insmuch the same manner a:
Stark. The Clark party of 20 mer
| occupied four large canoes. When this
canoe containing the two unfortu'
mates attempted to pass through tht
swift and rocky channel in the canyor
they lost control of their boat, which
swung abreast Of the current and fill
ed. The five occupants clung to tn,
boat as long as they could. One mar
was picked up 10 miles below the can
yen.
In all probability. Mr.. Henderson
states, the crossing to the Idaho sid
will be made at some point above tn,
mouth of the Grand Ronde river
Soundings have been made for pier
and the Cache creek mar is spoker
OF as n most favorable place Clark
party made the crossing at Pittsburt
landing, some 20 miles above tn
present site. Mr.. Henderson esti
mates that it will take in the neigh
borhood of two or three years to con
struch the line into Lewiston.

Would Like More Cold.
The change to warmer weather Is
not welcomed by Athena farmers by
any means. 1t is believed that had
the winter weather held on until a
few weeks later, spring would have
opened and made It possible for plow-
ing to have progressed during the
latter part of February at least.
Growing wheat was we'll protected
from frost during the severe cold
weather for the reason that blan-

fall sown grain after seeding time
soon came up and the stand is con-
sidered to be we'll above the average,
the result being a flattering prospect
for large yield, unless extreme freez-

OWL FIGHTS LIKE EAGLE.
Huntsman Interferes with Its Pursuit
 of Squirrel.

Allentown, Pa.-Adam Bohlinger, of Upper Milford, the other morning started for the Coleraine mountains on a squirrel hunt. He started early, so as to arrive just before sunrise, when the squirrels begin to feed.
 Just as dawn was breaking MT Boh- finger saw a monster owl fitting through the woods. and the next in- stant it darted for squirrel.
 It missed and tried again. Then Bohlinger fired. It dropped and Boh- finger tried to pick it up and immedi- stely discovered that instead of kill Ing 1t he had only succeeded in break ing its wing.
 The wounded owl fastened its talons in Bohlingers hand and put up so des- perate a fight that before the hunter succeeded in killing it his face and hands were torn and scratched in a frightful manner and he was totally exhausted.
 A physician dressed and cauterized his wounds.
 { The owl Is one of the biggest seen Hong these mountains in many years. aud Bohlinger will have it stuffed and mApnted.

WILD TRIBE OF POETS.
Picturesque People That Are Found In
 the Philippines.

Among the wild tribes to be found in the Philippines are the Bogobos, the most picturesque people in the tropics Their origin is unknown, and all sorts of opinions have been expressed concerning them. One tale told of them is that their first ances- tors were all poets and musicians, and that the dislike for the practical which is always noticeable among them has come down through the gen. erations.
 Those that have taught among the Bogobos say that given 8 song or a poem to learn and they will study and dream over it for hours, but give the Bogobo a problem in arithmetic and he immediately becomes ill and wants to go home.
 Living at Santa Cruz, in the Davao district, is Miss Benedict, Chicago university woman, who is collecting everything peculiar to the Bogobo.
 1t has been found that the bead work done by them is quite like that of the American Indian, but there is no other likeness in the races be- yond that.

Mrs Ellen Nagle, 414 4th street, Green Bay, Wis, writes:
 T have often heard Peruna praised and it is more widely known here than any other medicine, but l never knew what splendid medicine it really was until few weeks ago when I caught a bad cold which settled all over me.
 "The doctor wanted to prescribe, but I told him 1 was going to try Peruna and sent for a bottle and tried it.
 Il felt much better the next morning and within five days 1 had not trace of any lameness or any cough.

GOAT STARVES HIMSELF.
Fine Mountain Specimen In Pittsbure
 Refuses to Eat.

ittsburg.-Intended as a gift to the zoo of Riverview park, Allegheny, a fine mountain goat, brought from British Columbia by D. c. Byers of Sewickley, will instead, as the result of an incident, go to the Carnegie museum The incident was the death of the goat.
 MT. Byers and w. R. Scalfe re- turned from hunting trip of sev- eral weeks in Canada. The goat, fine specimen, weighing more than 250 pounds, was captured in the Stickline river, on the border line between Alaska and British Columbia. It is supposed to have been chased into the water by a bear
 The death of the goat was directly due to starvation. He refused to eat a bite while in captivity. On only two or three occasions did the goat drink any water, either. It was ex. pected, however, that after his being taken from the box in which he was shipped to Pittsburg he would begin eating. Instead, he shied at food more than ever.
 MT. Byers says the goat has a fine pair of horns and is a magnificent specimen in every way. When he reaches the museum and is mounted proudly on a rocky pedestal, 1t is ex- pected he will attract almost as much attention as if he were alive in a zoo

Peanuts. chest Luts and all other nuts in their sea son are eaten by MT. Sylvester. The only time he breaks his diet is Christ mas and Thanksgiving.
 Mastication is the most important thing in living on nuts," said MT.
