The Legislature has settled down
bids fair to do large amount of bust.
ness.
Among important measures before
the House this week is the bill by
Jones Of Boise ("Be,t" Jones, well
known in Hsilev) to provide Cor the
construction of wagon road between
Banner. in Boise county, AMI the forks
OF the St Mary's River, i" Kootenai
county. and a branch thereo: from
Dradwood in Boise county to the
mouth of the Yankee Fork of the Sal
mon river, in Custer county. A tax
of one mill on the dollar for three
years is to lie l-vid to meet the ex.
pense of construction. which is ~x-
1; pec,ed to be about 100000, or $500
per mile for the 300 miles Of road.
The bill is ranked by Governor Wiley
a. the most important measure before
the Legislature, rs it will open COM
munication from North Idaho to
South Idaho through the State, and
t.'nd to hArmonize people aud give
them a community Of interest. A
knowledge Of the country to be
t'avers+d ny the roai will show how
it will connect the North with roads
lea ling into Custer county and thence
to Alturss, Bingham and other south
ern counties. The bill will he cor
daily supported by northern mem
bers, and there seems every prob
ability that it will become law.
