Detter from Depot Springs, Depot Springs, W. T., July 17, 1880. Ed. Teller:— The N. P. R. R. is pushing its way quite as rapid ly as could be expected under the, circumstances in which they are placed. Nothing could be done ex cept to grade the road up to this time, as the want of lumber for ties and trestles would prevent the laying of track even if all the iron wos on hand. Only twenty-five miles of track is laid and to do that, the ties had to be placed five feet apart. The grading is all complete, except small pieces of rock work, 108 miles up to the «town of Sprague near the upper end of j Lake Colville, or Big Lake it is com monly called, and l he graders are at work about 15 miles further on. It is expected the whole road will be grad and ready for the trestle, ties and rails before the middle of September, up to the Colter A McBean contract, 133 miles from Ainsworth, and the ad vance parties of graders be several miles beyond Spokan Falls on the fur ther end of the contract at the same time. The want of .lumber to lay the track as fast as the grading proceeded necessitated supplies beiug hauled by teams from the end of the track, a very slow and expensive way of doing it. In May last one of* your old friends, A. S. Abernethey, was sent out on the line of the road to ^select the best places for stations and towns, and the work is about done now ; towns having been surveyed at the fol lowing places : First from Ainsworth, about 75 miles at Providence Springs, or Big Springs, in the Providence course, about 53 acres was laid in blocks and lots in the course above the springs, on section 25. The sur rounding country on l>oth sides for many miles is lieautifully situated for a j j 1 that region and below it, with its great | j distance from any market heretofore has prevented a ly settlements and though i now fast filling up, time will lie ru quired to show whether the soil will be productive or not. If it should prove oven moderately productive, that must prove an important point. Ten and one-half miles above, on the same course and surrounded by very much tha same character of country another town is surveyed, on section 23 Tp 19 35 e. This is adjoining the tract se lected by Phillip Ritz, for his large farm of 8,000 acres. TTie large exped ience he has had as a cultivator of the soil in this upper country ought to be sufficient reccommendation for its capability to produce. At both these towns the good farming lands comes to the line of the road on both sides. The next place "Harriston," named for the efficient superintendent of con struction of the road, is 13 miles above Ritsville, in a gravelly plain two miles below lake Colville. It will be the i outlet for the products-of a large nor i r or I fi° n th* Crab creek country and ! north of it, and a part of Rock cteck country southeast. About two miles above the head of lake Colville the town of Sprague is located, 10J miles above Harriston; this is where the main Colville road from W. W. crosses the railroad- It will be an important point as all the upper Crab Creek, and country north of it, must find its out let there, and also the Rock lake and Rock caeek country south of it, both extensive tracts of farming coflli tre. The last town surveyed at this line is at Depot Springs, as it is called, on sec. 13 tp. 23 N 41 e, about 10 miles below Spokan Falls. This will be the depot for all the country about the Medical lakes, or Four Lake coun j jugs being on the latter. No try, also the Deep creek and White | bluff prairies, and all north of those i places, and for the Pine Grove, Rock creek ond other neighborhoods to the south, a road which will be the shortest and best route to the railroad from all that region. As all thes e places are now well settled, and soon will be thickly settled, this cannot help being a very important station. On the 10th inst. a meeting of dele gates from all the precincts of Spokan county agreed almost unarniously, to vote for this place for county seat at the next election. All the towns have been laid out on one plan. The blocks one 250 feet by 212 feet, the 12 feet being an alley between the streets, the lots being 50 by 100 and the streets 60 feet wide, except the railroad streets which are 100 feet on one side and 125 on the other, the depot budd arrange raents have yet been made to sell the lots, but no doubt they will soon be offered for sale, and then several are al ready to buy and bu ild in each of them. The last named place will soon grow into a town of importanceif appearances do not deceive. In the near future we will see a wonderful change in 'his northeasern portion of Washington and Idaho, which 1 hope will expedite the admission of both in one state. * one Unaccountable*. ery side in that great city at the rate | from 100 to 150 per day from heat Can we truthfully say otherwise than the perhelian is operating among us. an< t exhaustion.

Steamboats are burn ing, coliding and sinking without good assignable reasons on the rivers and oceans of the world. Does not some pervading influence penetrate the brain of jnan to disturb,it as well as an influence that pervades the elements of the globe, making them appear to perform an opposite function from that designed by their creator ? Then from New York comes up the baleful news that men, women and children like rotten sheep, drop lifeless on ev Everybody is hale and hearty in the Cam Prairie country. Sltiftular. While the report of grasshopper ravages are circulating ns a cause for the failure of crops in some states, the assignments of failures of crops from others is rust, while from otliers the reason of the poor harvest is attribu ted to an over abundance of rain. Thus it is, that the voice of woe comes up from weak' humanity, but the peo ple of the present day are so united by the ties of commerce extending around the world, with a power not only to communicate, but to extend assistance before the want is painfully felt, that the world presents rather the appear ance of one grand garden of hills and valleys, and when harmless effects the uplands the lowlands yield, food is in sured for the aggrigate humanity by the powerful ties of union and univer sal understanding. I Arre.tol H. C. Paige. The following from the Oregonian relates to the arrest of H. C. Paige for robbing Wells Fargo's treasure box: "Paige was naturely suspected but was not molested. lie proceeded to fbis city arriving here last Tuesday evening. The agent at Umatilla im mediately notified Mr. S. I). Barstow, assistant superintendent for the company in San Francisco, who ad vised Col. Dudly Evans, the Portland agent, to keep a sharp lookout for Paige and not allow him to escape. Chief of Police Lappeus was also no tified of the robbery by telegraph, and sent Detective Hudson and other offi cer) on Paige's track, and they have shadowed him night and day ever since he arrived here. It was getier | ally known that Paige had been in i straightened circumstances, but upon his arrival in this city he begun series of extravagant debauches. He left at Lentit Jeune'* assaying estab lishment 15 79 ounces of gold dust to be cast in a brick. This he sold to Ladd it Tilton for $247 32. He bought two gold watches, one of which he wore when arrested, and the other was at the jeweler's to be engraved with the initials of some one to whom he intented to give the watch. The detectives also learned where ho ex changed two $100 bills for smaller notes. When arresaed he proclaimed his innoeense, declared that a mistake must have been made. He engaged W. ■ W. Page to defend him. His trial was called in the police court Saturday afternoon, but a hearing was postponed until) Thursday next. In default of $2500 bail ho was coin mi ted to jail. lion. J. N. Dolph will assist Deputy Piosecuting M. F. Mulkey iu the prosecuting of the case. is as to for by to the in by Paige throughout. Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Brit ish Columbia. In his position of traveling agent, he showed more tlmn ordinary skill and pe •sevaranee in fer reting and bringing to justice those who have robbed Wells, Fargo À Go's treasure boxes. In what was known as the Blue Mountain robbery, he not only worked up ilie ense and had the robbers sent to prison, but he took the father of one of theconvicted men, visited the prison and succeeded in as certaining the spot where $5000 Imcf j been buried ; at least the father re ceived the map of the spot. Relum in', the old man attempted to 11 y the | track, but Paige was not to be cut I done, the result being kite restoration of the money to the company. Paige received no remuneration and the com pany growled about the expenses in curred. It is to be supposed he felt aggrieved that his work was not bet ter appreciated. Shortly afterward he was placed in charge of the Baker City office, which he conduced until a year ago, when he was dismissed, and at the time it was said he had riot given up all the keys of the office. Last Winter he brought suit against the company for an amount of mony he claimed due him for office rent. The case was tried in the United States court in this city, but the jury failed to find n verdict for the amount of money lie claimed. He copies from a highly respectable family, a^brother of his having boon chief quartermaster under General Albert Sydney John son at Salt Lake during the Mormon war 1858, H. C. being then quarter masters clerk, a position he filled up to the death of his brother, who died in that year, and whose remains he escorted to the states. He was di vorced from his wife, a handsome, in telligent lady, quite recently. In conversation with an Oregonian reporter in the city jail yesterday af ternoon, Paige said he was entirely in nocent of the robbery, and knew no more about it than he (the reporter) did. He claims that his arrest is ma licious prosecution on the part of John J. Valentine, superintendent, and S. D. Brastow, as assistant superinten dent of the company, both of whom he roundly abused in a series of letters published recently in the 'Mountain Sentinal ani Red rock Democrat. These letters (copies of which Paige gave to the chief of police) are bitter tiranes against the inefficient service of the company. A bet was made last week at Mt Idaho lietween an honorable member lately re turned and the leader of the hand, concern ing who could tell the most improveahle story. After much yarning had been done, the honorable member drew a deep sigh and said that he would now toll something that, was true, wherenpon the stakes were immediately handed over to him. ^ C. G.
