THE TELEGRAPH,
It will soon be Completed to Boiae City.
Boise City will soon be in telegraphic
communication with the whole civilized
world; and the citizens, while availing
themselves of the advantages and privi
leges thus afforded will wonder why the
enterprise was not commenced and com
pleted years a'go. The Avalanche/urnish
es the following information in relation to
the much-needed work :
"Superintendent Pope last'evening rode
out to the camp of the pole-setters on the
line of the telegraph from] here to Boise
City, and furnishes us the following infor
mation in relation to the progress of the
work: The holes are all dug—twenty to
the mile—the entire distance from Boise
City to Boonville, the job having been
completed day before yesterday. Yester
day the crew, which consists of five men,
one of whom cooks and takes care of the
team, commenced setting their poles at this
end of the line, and, before sundown, had
five miles of them up. They will com-!
. , , .. i .. ï
plete the work ot pole-setting the entire
distance to Boise City in ten* day's time,
None of the poles are less than eight inch- !
os in diameter at the butt end, and they arc!
being set to a depth of three feet, which ,
will make the line a verv substantial one
in every respect. The want of wire is now
the only drawback to the speedy construe
tion of the line. It has been shipped j
;
from New York, but has not yet arrived at
Winnemucca.
The recent municipal election at Boise
City resulted in the election of the follow
ing officers: Mayor, John Letup; Conn- j
cilmen, T. C. Maupin, II. C. Branstetter.
Fred Dangel, C. W. Morse, M. Byrd ; Treas
urer, L. Weil; Marshal, Thomas Morrow.
But Iitt% interest was manifested in the
election, and a full vote of the city was not
polled.

D. D. Colton, one of the Directors, are
expected to arrive at lioseburg this

a special train consisting of the Presi

the east side depot about 8 o'clock,
from whence they will convey the
grand party to this city, arriving

came to Redding, the most northern
railroad station on the C. and O. R. R.,
in their own private train, thence to
Roseburg in their own stage. Mr.
Coehler of the 0. and C. R. R., and
Gen. Superintendent Brandt, went this

coma, when they will examine the
condition of the Pacific Division ol the
Northern Pacific Railroad soon to be

For many reasons it is better to
burn letters than to hoard them in this
most uncertain world. Burn if you
would not have the deepest secrets of
your soul made the sport of attorneys.
Burn if you would not have your friend
pained by even an accidental disclos
ure of kindness. Burn if you would
have your costliest secrets continue un
divulged. Burn for your own sake,
and for the sake of others.

Col. N. E. Paine, while plowing «m
his tarin in Westchester county, re
cently, in the locality of Yorktown,
came upon a large stone under which
were found two bushels of cannon
balls and a number of knives and
boyonets. They were near a well dug
and used by the American soldiers.
The ground was being plowed for the
first time, and the appearance of the
balls and knives indicated that they
had lain there undisturbed for a hun
dred years.
Value of Straw as Fodder. —Profess
or Atwater writes to the Agrieultur
id as follows: "Many farmers consid
er straw and corn-stalks as nearly
worthless for fodder. Others feed
them to their stock and fiud them
very valuable. On English farms
you may see straw stacked as careful
ly as hay and sold at a guinea ($5
gold) per ton, for mixing with other
food for stock, and in France and Ger
many straw is as staple an article of
fodder as hay. I recall one case in
Germany when oat-straw was rated at
$5.50, and field beets at $2.15 gold
per ton; another where barley straw
was valued at $4.33 and clover hay at
$13 per ton, these being the prices at
which these materials were actually
bought and sold for fodder, and in
those parts of this country, and of Eu
rope especially, which are most noted
or their successful agriculture, straw
uid like fodder materials are used
with profit, not only stored for cattle
and sheep but also for horses, work
ing oxen, milk cows, and fattening
cattle."
