Just south of town at a point near
the Little Weiser river there is a curve
in the county road to avoid two very
bad mud holes and this curve takes
up about 4 acres of Frank Adams
farm. Not long. since Mr.. Adams
fenced the land in question and the
road then passed through these mud
holes and bridging of them at once
was necessary, but as this would cost
more than to purchase the land the
commissioners chose to do the latter
and we understand have agreed to
pay Mr.. Adams 5000 for the land.

be damaged to the extent of several
thousand dollars We are confident
the saw-mill men are anxious to
comply with the law but as they are
constantly receiving orders for lumber
from parties who are DESTROYS of
erecting buildings and making other
improvements it is not right to COMPEL
them to stop. 1t is also an injustice
to the country in general, as only
during the summer and fall can the
erection of houses and like improve
ments be successfully carried on in
this section of the country.

those to be had in Salubria are not
near as large as those in Weiser it
did not last near as long as the one of
the day before. After it was gone
we amused ourselves by watching

We camped this evening in Council

to mfuse a few sanctimonious
thoughts into our little party on this
perilous journey Ayers read a few
chapters from the old testament and
all retired
WEDNESDAY: The morning was
pleasant and as we logged along we
discussed the biblical lesson of the
evening before. One of the chapters
had told of man named Abel who
was keeper of sheep. Ayers
wondered how a man was Abel to
keep sheep in those days when there
were no railroads. or other facilities
Tor getting his wool to market
Then Harris enlarged upon the theme
of tariff and said it would be fine
thing for politicians if they could
procure statistics showing TO what
extent Abel prospered in the sheep
business then when there was pre-
sumably no tariff on foreign woods.
The discussion grew so heated that it
was decided to discontinue the read
ings, and when we camped on Crooked
river this evening it was unanimously
agreed to read q chapter from Bill
Nye. More anon.

Out on a .Jarant.

On last Monday, without any os-

departed from Weiser, bound for the
Seven Devils, five of the greatest
truth twisters or prevaricators

A. b. Anderson was the first, the
second one was j. w, Ayers and
Frank Harris was the other three.
They all travel together but take
their meals separately. One of the
number has undertaken to furnish
the SIGNAL with daily reports of the
journey. So far we have received
the reports up to yesterday evening.

a well established and popular hotel

you here. If you have any friends
of the same belief bring them also, as
they are needed in this vicinity.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1891.

"a very important subject now
calls for the immediate attention of
the people of Boise City, The state
wagon road commissioners will at an
early day proceed to locate the section
of the road between Horseshoe Bend
and the lower end of Long valley
that is, they will do SO provided a
sum of money is subscribed and made
available which, added to the So, 900
now in the hands Of the commission,
will amount to enough to build the
the section of the road named. -
The foregoing is the opening
paragraph of a short editorial regard
ing the state road in the daily States
man. The Statesman goes on to
impress upon the people of Boise the
necessity of lending financial help
towards having the road located on a
route leading to Boise, saying that
the trade from the Meadows and other
places would be a big thing for her.
1t also says that other towns would
doubtless contend for location of

Edwin Booths Favorite Story.

Edwin Booth, the melancholy Dane,
is very entertaining when he enjoys a
brief convalescence from dyspepsia.
Here is one of the jokes he tells on
Fechter, who played a round of charac.
tiers in this country:
II went one night to hear Fechter in
a melodrama of a tragic cast. In one
part Of the play Fechter had to count
out money. He was very deliberate and
said slowly, One, two, three, four, five,
and so on. The interest of the play was
hanging on the tragedian's having
enough money and paying it over to the
villain. He kept slowly counting, and
the audience grew more restless and
anxious for him to finish. A witty son
of Erin in the topmost gallery, getting
tired, yelled:

lar fruits. The acreage devoted to this
industry is being constantly increased, and
it is desired to stimulate still further plant.
ing as well as to advertise the capabilities of
the soil. District fairs as heretofore carried
on have been of little benefit to the country.
So long as the racing was the chief attrac-
ton little attention was paid to the pavilion
exhibits. AS none of the States apprOpria-
ton is given TO races. it is proposed TO do
away with them and devote the entire atten-
ton to an exhibit of horticultural and agri-
cultural productions. Another reason urged
for the change is that the fair is usually held
so late in the season that creditable exhi-
bition of fruits cannot be made. 1t is pro-
posed to hold the fruit fair in the early part
OF August, and let the horsemen have the
races when they choose. Inquiry among
prominent men shows desire for the change,
but many think sufficient interest would not
be taken to draw crowd.
