Snake River Line
Contract Let Soon
Charleston Republic Gives Date July
Tenth-coaI Prospect At
Pittsbure.

We have a railroad rumor from
a reliable source, all our own says
the Charleston Republic. 1t is that
a high official of the Hartman lines
said in private conversation, but a
few days ago, that in all probability
the Utah Construction company
would be given the contract for grad
ing the Huntington line about July 10
and that work will commence in
Charleston at this end of the line
about July Is.
Coal at Pittsburs Landing.
The same paper gives the following
item: The Electrolytic Copper
company held it's annual election at
its office In Charleston Thursday,
when the old officers were all re.
elected. The company has a fine
property up the Snake River. w.
Campbell of Spokane and A. L. Ober
of Chatfield, Minnn were among those
in attendance. These gentlemen are
also looking up what they think is a
promising coal prospect in the vicinity
of Pittsburg Landing. They report
that it is generally thought that the
o. S. line will lush the Huntington
line down the river to Charleston as
fast as possible.

HEAVY CLIP AND
FINEST QUALITY
REPORTS OF sHEARlNe PLANTS
CONFIRM EARLY ESTIMATES
SEASON ABOUT OVER.

The total wool clip of the county
comes up to the highest preshear-
ing estimates. At the three princi.
pal plants 1886 fleeces were clip.
ed and the weight is close to 10
pounds per fleece. In addition many
thousands were sheared by hand.
The Htch plant IA miles north
east Of Enterprise finished July
=, having been in operation
21h days, during which 47.OOO
sheep passed through the hands Of
the shearers. The size of the force
varied from 15 to 27, with an average
OF about 90. The largest single days
run was 5000. Mr.. Litch says the
quality Of the wool was fine, and
e. A. Rumble who received the wool
for the buyers says it is A No.
staple.
At the E. o. Maxim plant, eight
miles east Of Enterprise, the 30h
days run was finished July Z, when
the total Of sheep sheared reached
$4,000. Fifteen shearers were en-
pfoyed and the best days was 22S7.
Mr.. Maxim says the fleeces were
heavier than usual while the quail
ty was never better. Mr.. Maxim had
5000 yearlings that averaged over
10 pounds, and he thinks the general
average was close to that figure.
The Peter Baudan plant on upper
Prairie Creek completed its run with
1886 as the total. 1t started June
IL and was closed four or five days
on account of wet weather. The
shearers have averaged 21 in number
and the average number of sheep
per day was 1850. The wool is of
extra fine quality. C. l.. Hartshorn
had 1000 yearlings that sheared 1871
pounds, and were sold for $3.50 a
head.

Maxim place seemed to be the
center of the damage area
and there fences were WASHED out

damage is estimated by Mr.. Maxim
at $500 and it will take 10 days to
straighten things up.

They Need No ProtAction

Inc superintendent of q South
carolina cotton mill has made some
interesting statements to a renorter

lie says that the southern mills are
earning large dividends--manv of
them from 25 to 40 per cent. wear
In most cases what is earned over
ten per cent. is put into new buildings
and improvements. That helps to ex-
pain why the number of sDindIes in
the south has risen in ten wears from
4'ooo'OOO to 100000 and why that
section consumed more bales of cot.
ton last year than New England and
Canada
The big dividends of the southern
mills serve to explain the absence of
enthusiasm among southern senator's
Tor the reduction of the duties in the
cotton schedule and their perfunctory
opposition to whatever increases were
made 1t is true that the increases do
not AFFECT the cheaper grades of goods
TO whose manufacture the south de.
votes itself almost exclusively. but
the owners of the southern mills are
looking forward to the time when thew
VIII begin to rival New England in
the production of finer goods.

BRYAN and Bailey.

Mr. William j. Bryan is making
speeches in Texas in advocacy of the
policy on which he wishes the dis
united Democracy to unte-a tariff
for revenue only, with free raw mate
rials. Senator Bailey is making
speeches in support of tariff for rev.
enue only with low duties on raw ma.
terials. He says that was the Demo-
cratic doctrine in 1876, when Polk
was president. Mr.. Bryan contends
that President Cleveland, who was for
free raw materials, represented the
modern convictions of the party
The two statesmen have been firing
at each other at long range. Some
body proposed that they should have
a joint debate and thresh out the
question. 1t is one in which the Tex
of them who, while denying vigorous.
ly that they are protectionists, ap-
prove of stiff duties on wool and lum.
ber. and who disliked the removal of
the duty on hides.
But Mr.. Bryan, who likes to be the
only star in the sky, and who per.
haps. is unwilling to meet at close
quarters so strong a debater as Sena-
tor Bailey, does not take kindly 70
the suggestion. He says he will not
consider a joint meeting unless Sena-
tor Bailey shall make a personal re.
quest for it. He thinks it would tend
TO turn attention from his tentative
platform to individuals-to Bailey as
we'll as Bryan. The senator says that,
in view of Mr.. Bryan's opinion that
a joint debate would affect the ma.
tional party, he is averse to forcing
it. How the Democratic party, which
is cropping blindly for an issue ac-
ceptabie to the great mass of it's mem
bers, can be harmed by a Joint de-
bate between two of its leaders is not
apparent. 1t seems rather as if 1t
would tend to clear up the situation
and enable the Democrats to know
what they ought to believe and preach
as to the tariff question. At present
they are badly mixed, in Texas as well
as the rest of the union.

A colored man from Georgia had

OF course the two Samaritans We're
somewhat taken aback by this unus-
