WOOD RIVER AND CANVAS PRAIRIE.
The Two Roads Almost impossible for
Heavy 1ea,ns-A Natural Road that
Can be Opened ut Moderate Cost.

Register Pound, of the Land Office,
Jos: NJ. Burke.t and r. A. White, of
this city, accompanied by TINES re-
porter, went out to Camas Prairie, last
Saturday, to look it over, and, at the
same time, examine into the possibil-
ity of making a better road between
the Prairie and HALEY. They went by
the new grade, and returned by the
old one.
Leaving here at half past they
reached Crichton-about "a miles
away-by halr-past o'clock, after an
easy drive. The road runs up Croy
gu!ch to Kelly gulch, where it enters
the mountain range. At Terroux's
two roads divcrgc; that to the righ'
being the first made, and that to the
left the second. The first zig-zags up
"a mountain side, and has two steep
grades that make it well-nigh imprac-
ticable. 1t was made in the summer
Of 1881, and adopted as the route be-
tween Haley, Camas Prairie, Rocky
Bar, and west to Boise, Oregon and
Washington Territory. A stage coach
overturning soon after, at the head of
the grade, the road was abandoned.
In 1882 the second grade was made.
This is "A very good road for horsemen
and light vehicles; but is rather steep
for heavy loads, although entirely prac-
ticable. 1t is even "A much better road
than the Sawtooth grade, above Ga
lena, the Rocky Bar or Atlanta road,
the Carson and Bellevile road, in Ne
vaia, or dozens Of other stage routes,
and it saves l. to IL miles in distance
from the prairie to Wood River. But
as the long road over the prairie to
Bellevue is somewhat easier and the
ranchcrs are never much pressed 70,
time, they prefer to go the long way
rather than make cutoff by the
grade.
For heavy loads the two roads ma,
therefore b: said to be we'll nigh i'm
practicable. Still another road can b,
made. down Camp creek. This new
road would leave the second road "a
the Big Camas mine and follow dow
Camp creek, avoiding all the steel
mountains, ia Camas Prairie. and say
ing all OF Is miles in distance. |
this road were made, it would be-
adopted at once by the sawmll, min
ING and stock and ranchmen, and b,
generally used. Mr.. Sifcrs, the saw
mill man, said that he had IA larg,
quantity Of rough and dressed lumbe
at his mill for which there was com
parativcly not much demand, but if
road were made down Camp creek h.
could haul to Il market at HALEY. Nj
Glenn, of the other sawmill, wouI.
doubtless agree with Mr.. Sifers: am
the mining men of Smoky and tn
ranchers Of Camas would probably us
i: cheerfully, as many OF them informe
the gentlemen above named that the
would.
The cost Of making the new grad
would be about 81 800. At least ore
third of this amount, ranchers state
would be paid in labor and team Sc,
vice by Camas Prairie rancicrs; tn
mining and sawmill men would prot
ably supply another third, part in cas-
aud part in labor; the remainder wi
have to be supplied in cash by Woo
River

played such artistic ingenuity at the work
that his father sent him to a drawing school
when he was but nine years old Soon after
his father was obliged to flee from Austria
for expressing too freely his political
opinions, leaving Joseph to assist his mother
In the candy business. At the age Of twelve
years he was admitted to the Academy of
Design in his native city, where he remained
for two years, showing in the meanwhile To-
markable proficiency in art with tendency
toward the buriesque.
In the hope of a higher study OF art he
made a pilgrimage TO Italy ON foot, paying
his expenses during the journey by portrait
making, on the way thither he fell in with a
theatrical troupe which he joined returning
with them to Vienna, where he played before
the foot-lights for three years, spending his
spare time In negative retouching for photo
grnphers and supplying humorous illustra-
tions for the comic papers Of the city.
His father, who was then in St Louis,
wrote requesting him to come to America,
which he did, going on the stage of the Ap-
polo theatre in St Louis, and six months
ihter ne conifnenced In tnat CITY tne puDilca-
ton Of Puck, which was discontinued at the
end of two years, in consequence of the death
of his partner, Mr.. Herrold. We next find
him at Frank Leslies, in New York, where
he did some excellent work. In 1876 he re-
vivcd "Puck," printing it the first six months
only in German, then printing an English
edition, and so successful did the enterprise
become that the sale of the German edition
was alone sufficient to pay all the expenses,
the English or larger edition being a clear
profit. OF Mr.. Keppler's cartoons in
Puck, it is needless to say much. they being
so widely known, only that they improve at
each issue, and are aimed at friend and foe

THE LIGHT FANTASTIC TOE,
What a Fashionable Professor of
Dancing and Deportment Says.

What Fashionable Professor of
Dancing and Deportment Says.
Philadelphia Timesl
There will be no radical changes or de-
partures from the dances of last season.
The german will this winter receive new i'm
petus from several startling and novel figures
TO he introduced. Among them may men
tion the roller-skate figure, which promises
TO be very popular. A very light pattern Of
skate has been produced especially for this
purpose and will be used in the dance. Other
figures likely to be much danced are the
four-in-hand and tandem, the paper bag,
Sockey, mirror, triangle and dice-throwing
figures. Favors will bs unprecedently costly,
and will include fnger-rings, bracelets.
scarf-pins and $50 gold pieces, on one side
OF which a monogram will be engraved. An
almost endless variety of new figures are
contemplated.
In waltzing, the fashionable Newport glide
will become the favorite. The regular waltz
glide will remain the dance Of great many
who do not follow the changes of fashion In
dancing. The racquet will be in better favor
this year among watchful mammas, the step
having been brought down to the trois
temps, which keeps the feet nearer the floor
and robs the dance Of the somewhat indecor-
Gus kick hitherto considered so Objectionable
The ripple, n western step, will be much
danced, while the double glide will have per
haps more admirers than ever. The Sara
toga lancers will be one Of the most popular
dances this winter on account of its having
been so much danced at the seashore during
the summer. The minuet lancers will also be
In favor on account Of the easy grace of the
movement
In quadrilles there will be added the Co
quette and caulihower figures, sometimes
terminating with the new year and Tempete
figures. The Caledonian quadrille, a beauti-
fully arranged dance, will be among the
seasons favorites. La Varsoviana, with the
old mazourka waltz step, will be revived
with great deal of enthusiasm by the young
people. The schottische will be danced, with
the addition of the glide waltz, which, OF
course, will make the step more graceful
The polka galop, very interesting dance,
without the laborious movement of the old
polka, will be classed among the favorites,
on account Of its easy grace of movement
The effort made by the Society of Profess
sors Of Dancing to secure uniformity in dane
ing throughout the country has not met with
the success that was appreciated The far
inland cities have proved stumbling blocks
with their deep rooted provincialisms and
their unwillingness TO make any change in
the prevailing styles The successful season
at Long Branch, Saratoga and Naragansett
Pier, where dancing has been the rage, will
give great impetus to the winters dancing in
large cities.

The Vol ume Had Come


A New Yorker who was up In the hill
country a week or so ago, shooting rabbits,
had occasion to call at country store for
some ammunition.
"Yes, I've got POWDER" replied the little
old man behind the counter. "How much
did ye wants"
an take a pound"
"What, hull poundn
"Yss, sir"
The merchant came from behind his
counter, slowly adjusted his steel bowed spec
tacles, and for long minute looked the New
Yorker over as one might read circus bill.
Finally he said: "A hull pound, and you are
going TO pay cash DOWN.
YES, sir"
"Well-um-weil! Mister, for the past
fifteen years I've been contending that the
volume of floating currency was not large
enough to do the business Of the country, and
I never expected to see this day. Cash
down for q hull pound Of powder. Wait a
