tbs Warrens Wagon Road.

Idaho Free Press.
We hear that Josh Fockler has
offered to-build the proposed wagon
road between Warrens and the Warm
Springs for 81, 600 The distance is
20 miles. Work will only be required
ON apour twelve miles. "A good4road
is already built from the town of War
rens to Gov. Willcy's mill, on Steam
boat creek. distance of four miles
From this point it is claimed that a
good road can be built to StrattOn
creek, distance of three miles, for
$500. From Stratton creek to the
mouth Of Long gulch, distance four
miles more, some work will be re-
quired all the way, but not much
rock work. From Long gulch to the
Warm Springs, distance ter miles,
the route traverses the level stretch
OF beautiful meadows which skirt the
Seccsh creek. The ground here is
soft In the wet season. IL thin surface
of soil rests on gravel, and in few
places corduroy is necessary Secesff
creek is crossed twice. If bridges
are necessary they can be built by
the county government under exist
ing statutes. But bridges could be
dispensed with for time if good
graveled grades were made at the
crossings, so that teams would not
inlre. There will not likely be much
ireighting during the high water
period, and the banks are not more
tnan four feet high at the crossings
If an oler 10 build the road for
81, 600 or any less sum is made, it is
highly probable that the citizens of
Warrens will raise tie amount at once
and provide for the immediate con
struction of the road this summer. 1t
is lot of money Tor SO small num-
Der of people in so isolated country
TO raise; but an emergency exists,
and we believe the people will be
equal to the occasion.
Once the road is built, the revenue
of that road district will be more than
sufficient to keep it in good condition.
1t costs but little if any more to keep
wagon road open than it does a
trail, And wagon roads are essential
TO the prosperity of that country.

the inalienable right of every Amer
lean citizen either to appeal or curse
the court. As we cannot appeal there
is only one alternative left us, and
that is to eternally damn the court,
and this we propose to do, regardless
of consequences. 1t may not hurt
the court but it is great relief to
