ronte that can betraveled winter and
summer. The companies here are
willing to assist in constructing q
road towards the capital. 1t would
he most advisable to the Boise City
people TO take the necessary steps and
organize; issuing say $4,000. ! am
certain half of it will be taken in At
lanta. Build 1t on the grade OF a rail-
road, and by and by when the Il. X.
Co. construct their road as far as
Boise City, the wagon road 20. can
sell out to them. We are also in ia
vor of the Rocky Bar folks building
their road, which is already surveyed
and estimated to cost fifteen thousand
dollars. The more roads the better.
The Rocky Bar people have organ
lied and incorporated telegraph Go.
with capital stock of fifteen thousand
dollars. to bui d line from Atlanta,
by way of the Bar, to Boise City. 1t
is very much needed, and we hope
they will make u success of their ell
terprise, but certainly good wagon
road would be a great deal more SER
viceable to them, and tend to make
Atlanta what she will be in the near
future, the greatest camp on the
coast
Our inconvenience this fall is suffi-
cient to prove that wagon road is
important to develop the rich mines of
Atlanta. We haw, paid as high as
five cents per pound from the Bar to
here, and none lower than two cents.
Now let our Boise City friends give
this question due consideration, and
take the right step TO meet Atlanta
half way, and the road will be built.
1t is an enterprise that will pay hand
somely for the amount invested.
We are enjoying the finest weather
that any of us ever experienced at
this time of year in those high noun
tains. There is no snow on the south
hillsides, and onl y two feet on Bald
Mountain. Pack-trains have been
running up to the second of this
month. There is sufficient supplies to
last until spring. The people appear
to enjoy themselves in getting up
dances and social parties. On last
Saturday evening several ladies and
gentlemen concluded to have mas
qucrade surprise party down at the
Buffalo Co.'S. new mill As Pnf.
Goodliffe and VIM. Abbott were re.
turning home in company with their
girls. they Jagged behind little, and
and all at once were attacked by two
wild animals. As retreat was impos
sible, the first one, Mr.. Abbott, ran to
a tree and climed up out of danger
Mr.. Goodliffe, seeing his friend so
we'll secured, wanted place by his
side. lie also started to climb, but
the big boots he wore made it quite a
difficult task to accomplish. He
threw his boots away and in mo-
ment was out of danger away ND in
the tree where both were found in the
morning singing their favorite song,
Pull down your vest" All the nails
being frozen off Goodliffc's toes, he is
unable to wear his boots yet. Both
of these gentlemen say the next sur
prise party they 60 to it won't he in
company with girls who run away
from them when danger is at hand.
