Saythe Fairbaven Herald: ^It may^not be gcnerullv known that high in the^bosom of ( liuckaiiut mountain there lie^two beautiful little lakes about a mile^aud a half apart, and in extent about live^U^'res. The one nearest the city is buck^of Fairbaveii height*, is very deep and^cl.-ur and abounds in trout. 1 lie other is^similar to the lit st in area, and a mile and^a half eastward, it is thlHcult to reach,^and, so lar as known, thtiv are but few^who have v:s:ted this little iak^l reposing*^in solitude, a most on the brow of a con*^sulirable moiifitain.
Theend of the track at the Pacific ex^^tension baa reached tho crossing of Two^Medicine creek, Mi*i^oiila county, Mont.,^fcay* the J^iilrtKtd d'azetlr, where a hrMiie^Ik tween M aiid K)J feet lonff and 210 f^ el^high is to be constructed. It will possih'y^M two mouths before the track is lai I^over the completed brldfre, This bridge^is thirty milt s norlhw -st Sj| the lliackfiet^and Piegail agency and thirteen miles^from the btimmitof the l: ^rUy m iiintaiiiH.^A Isjfpi number of ssjsj who have been^working on grading west of the mount^^ains have been transferred to the becliotis^from Two Med cine creek west.
Mr.Devea, the wealthy stockman, will^shii) 2^^ I head of line horses front Spiagia*^to-day, says the A'di'i fisef, 'J hey ssj^driven from bis ranch, some twenty-three^miles out of the city, yesterday. The^baud euiiMsts of iVicle rons and t lyile^^^dales. They will be taken to northern^Montana, where the grass is waist high^Mini as thick as the hair on a dog s back.^The re,i^oii of the removal of the horses^is a shortage of pasturage. Mr. Devea^has left on his ranch 4 U)J head of sheep^and fj| heail of cattle. lie intends to^winter his hor.ses in Montana.
Aradier singular aeciilent occurred at^the stables of the L*. C. H. T. company^early the other morning, says the On-^ijuHuni, Some young man w bo was evi^^dently about to start out on a boar hunt^!: el his trunk lilled with guns, powilt r,^cartridge* and niacin*-, and us the Hunk^was being leaded on to a truck in the^Usual baggage-master lushinn, the^matches ignited, the powder exploded^and the trunk was blown into a thousand^pieces. r^oi Uii.ately no one was hurt.^'1 hu owner of the trunk has not called^for it yet, and when be presents his check^be will doubtless be surprised to get it^back on the installment plan. There is^barely enough of the trunk left to identify^it, and the powder is a minus quantity.

He was serving^a ll yiar sentence in the state peniten^^tiary ior that day's work and died^;n that institution, having served^only about two years of his long^sentence. 11 ^ died July L Pwf some rea-^MSJ i r another the news has not been^sent out through the rufcu'ar channels,^but was gleaned by a MsjffVjWj repre^^sentative lrom an tinfortunaie ami fellow^prisoner of Deutiee's who was sent up^from Seattle and has just returned, hav^^ing si rved out bis sentence.
Trampshave been in .the habit of visit^^ing Al 1 bmill's f beep cam;^ near Meacham^and purloining provisions and mutton^ilutin/ the herder's absence, says the^East Oi * yonian. Keccntly the herder^bkinned a l.ttti-i which bad died from poi-^^sjsj ami bung it up in a sack outside the^eabui to shew Mi. Kotith ^ hen he arrived^how lat the sheep were. The Iamb was^stolen by some vagabond, who doubtless^provided a good meal for himself and^comrades from the remains. It is a good^j iKe on tla^ tramp; but still the tourist^iratcrmiy might sit down to a dish of^poisoned mutton^if they didn't know it^was poisotn-d^with the same satisfaction^that an epicure consults ipiail on toast.
I'robablythe most wonderful discovery^ever made in Idaho, and we might say in^the Northwest, is the one that has just^heeu found and was made known to the^l.^-wistow!i Miff last I riday. While^prospecting lie t ween Little Salmon river^Mid lb^t Springs, Mr. l'aron Harry V*^n^Jluber discovered a cave that may in time
proveto he as wonderful to the West as^the Mammoth cave of Kentucky is won^^derful to the South and East. The way^to this cave is to take the wagon road^from this city leading to Mount Idaho^and John Day's ferry. At this place the^wagon road stops; but take the trail and^follow it about six miles, and then turn^to the left and go about a quarter of a^mile and you are at tho spot. This cave^can plainly be seen from the trail. At the^entrance, which is abont the aiio of u^common door, will bt^ found a freely^11 ^wiug spring, the water frcm which^runs direct into tho cave. The cave^is about ten leet in width and fully as^high. Go back about the distance^of one mile, and there will be found a^lake of beautiful clear water, about .H^ by^A) feel in sixe, which is lined with Hue^green moss; and just beyond the lake are^seven entrances to as many more caves.^The explorer did not go any further, us^he had but two candles and they wire^fast burning out and would only last long^enough to find bis way back to the place^of entrance. Mr. Von Hubert said that^the top of the cave was thickly lined with^stalactites, caii-ed by the continual drip^^ping of the water, many of which were^three feet in length. He had a few spec^^imens with him and they were formed^exactly like ic^rlet^ only of a different^color and perfectly harJ.
Fromllu.te to Itnlse.^The Boise Statesman says: The two^points in the intcr-im utitain r* giou now^wailing and now needed to be wedded by^iron bands are Untie, Montana, and Hoise,^the capital city of Idaho. Hutte and the^whol ^ of Western Montana needs a rail^^road connecting thc*o two points, and^Doise ami the whole of Southwest! in^Idaho needs it. For tho people of this^city and valley especially, tb * road is a^1 resent and pressing necessity. Its con^^struction will give a competing lino on^the ibortest and most direct route over^which will go at reduced rates all the or*^chard and farm products of this and^other valley* of this section of Idaho, to^a market that is always a ready and^profitable one. The people of llu'te and^Western Montana will bo equally bone*^Uted by the road, as it will give them a^reliab!.* smirce and means of u uipply of^fruits, grain and vegetables needed by^them. The citizens of liuise should go to^work as one man and never rest until^their city is connected by rail with the^great mining region of which iiut'.e is the^center.
(ihIiu i; Horn* on a gsfjsji'^^ll on. T. J. Younger of Osceola, Mo.,^once a prominent im-mltcr of the Mis^^souri legislature, and who is best known^by his full name, Ttu mas Jellersou^Younger, tells tb.s story in tie* St. Louis^i^rjtvhfie; **Si rue months ago 1 saw^a statement in a St. Lcuis iicw.-paner^ab'itit a r ioster with a spur on his head^that seemed to bo attracting con-^ndi*rabieattention. This apparent freak^of nature can be accomplished by a sim^^ple surgical operation. Take a y^ung^rooster. WIkii bis spur is only a bud^make an incision around the spur, lie n.^with the point of a knife, bit the spur I 11',^taking with it the cartilaginous forma^^tion; ueximakcuTi incision on tie* head,^or any other place where tho bone can^Ik' readied, place the spur therein, clo^^*^tiptightiy tho cuticle around the spur^with a few stitches and keep^the chicken enclosed until the graft or^spur has healed and adhesion has taken^place. The spur will then be as solid as^though nature had caused It to grow there^and it will continue its normal growth.^Tne young spur, or the gi rm of a spur,^call be gralied either on the bead er on^the foot by the same process, w hich is^similar to the grafting of budding^peaches. *Squ re Herry of near Johnson^^ by, St. ( lair county, is an expert at that^business, and while scientific men may^experiment in that directmn. if they^desire, we stand ready to deiuoustratc^it as a fact.
