The beautiful little drama entitled,
"The Last Loaf was enacted i'm Doucet's
opera house, on Saturday evening last
by the Crystal Falls Dramatic Club, and
was greeted by a crowded house and the
frequent rounds OF applause told that
The audience was an appreciative one.
The association ia composed strictly Of
home talent and was organized especially
20 produce the play for the benefit Of the
Methodist church OF this place, and IL il
n most gratifying feature To know that
their efforts were so well received, which
allowed them To turn over round sum
oil money TO the church, which just now,
at the time OF building and edifice Is very
acceptable. Following Is the

THE MONEY MARKETS.

Bradstreets, April IA: The re-
ceipts of the Treasury averaged
l,25O,OOO daily, this week, and the
surplus continues to increase at the
rate of 100000 daily.
The actual conditions of the New
York market have not changed to any
extent during the past week, though
there is, of course, disposition to re-
gard the delay to which the occur
rences in Congress have subjected the
further consideration of the Bond
Purchase bill as a cause for the mani
festation of conservative feelings in
financial circles. Money, however,
in spite of the unfavo'able appearance
of last weeks bank statement, seems
to be flowing toward this center, and
the fact that pension disbursements
have DUNG the week been large in
the aggregate, tend in sense to
counterfeit the influence of the con.
tinued INSCRIPTIONS by the Treasury
Loans on call have been very easy

HALEY, Idaho. April 21, 1888.
To THE HONORABLE BOARD OF CouN.
TY COMMISSIONERS OF ALTUKAs
COUNTY, IDAHO:
Gentlemen.-As viewers appointed
by your honorable body to view a
proposed wagon road from a point on
the Camas road near Isles ranch,
down Camp creek to Camas Prairie,
we beg leave to submit the following
report:
We began below at the mouth Of
the canyon, at a point to which We
hicles can be driven, and surveyed up
the canyon, finding the distance which
will require more or less grading and
five or six bridges, to be 3 3-16 miles.
We found the grade to be from 4
to inches to the rod, excepting a
few places which may reach 8 inches,
and one place will 60 10 to II inches
No place will exceed II inches to
the rod.
We also found the snow entirely
off the west side of the canyon, down
which most of the road ought to be
built, and nearly all off the east side.
The new road should commence at
Lisle's ranch and intersect the old
Camas road at the eastern branch OF
Willow creek, near Humphreys ranch.
We estimate the cost Of making a
good, practicable wagon road down
said canyon, with road-bed feet
wide, 6 feet on solid ground, to be
from $1,000 to $14OO, cash. The en-.
tire distance through the canyon was
measured and levels taken by Captain
Hammer, G. E.
Inasmuch as said road would prove
great benefit to the citizens OF
Camas Prairie and Smoky; shorten
the distance as now travelled via Don
iphan and Tolmie's by about three
miles, and would make an easy, prac-
ticable summer and winter route with
no long or heavy grades, we therefore
recommend that the proposed line o.
road be declared a public highway
and that sufficient sum be appro
priated to construct and complete the
same ready for travel as soon as pos
sible, for the reason that, while the
ground is soft, it can be built one
fourth cheaper than after the grounc
becomes dry and hard.
Respectfully submitted,
r. BLEDsoE,
II. Il. BURKHAET,
Viewers.

place about 4 miles above HALEY. and serve only
a limited number of mares, as they were imported
from the East for my own use.
Parties wishing to breed to snch stock had
better come and see them. as they must become
satisfied that they are the best animals. on Wood

Captain Hammer, c. E., met them
at the mouth of the canyon on the
other side, from which point the party
measured and took levels to Lisle's
ranch, at this end. They report that
it will not only save three miles or
more in distance, but avoid all the
Objectionable bills between here and
Humphreys The hardest pull en- the
road will be the hill just this side of
Baskerville, or what is known as
Richardson's ranch. This road will
revolutionize and consolidate all
Camas Prairie and Smoky travel, and
will undoubtedly result in the greatest
good to the greatest number of any
road improvement for some time. The
report of the road viewers is herewith
published and the TIMES, from per.
sonal knowledge of the route, heartily
endorses the recommendations there
in made.
