Agricultural Experiment Station.

On Saturday last Messrs. Forney and
Blake, of the University board of re-
gents arrived here, and at their instga-
ton, meeting of the citizens was con-
vened in the afternoon to discuss the
subject of securing the location of one
of the Agricultural Experiment Stations
ON Camas Prairie. A. +. Parker was
installed as chairman and he called up
on Messrs. Forney and Blake to ex-
plain to the meeting just what was
wanted or expected of the citizens. In
explaining the matter Mr.. Forney stat
ed that there were three of these sta
tons to be located in the state, and that
they were supported by annual appro-
priations of $4,000 by the Federal gov
eminent. In order that the appropria-
lions should be Immediately available
it was necessary that land and suitable
buildings should be provided by the cit
izens, as the appropriations were passed
with "a string tied to them" which pre-
vented any part of it being applied to
the erection of buildings. or purchasing
ground.
The location of the station lies be-
tween Lewiston and Camas Prairie, and
its location here would not affect our
chances for securing the State Agricul-
tural College. After some questioning
by some OF our citizens on various
points, Messrs Forney and Blake salts
fled the audience that the station was
worth striving for, and committee was
finally appointed to canvass the Prairie
for subscriptions and learn what amount
could be secured. Messrs. w. &. Pear
son, j. d. Hendren, Jas. Witt. +. Shiss-
Ter and l.. F. Horning were APPOINTED
and have been hard at it all the week.

of four dollars, and it would
seem that this tax should real
Use sufficient revenue to estab-
lish good, durable and perma-
nent roads in the course Of a
few years. AS a matter of fact
the roads on this Prairie are
not much, if any, better than
they were ten years ago.
In many places they are worse,
because of frequent changes.
All the work ever expended
on our roads is done with a
pillow and consists of summer
following them. There is no
uniformity in the system of
working the roads. Each SUI
per visor is boss in his own dis
trict and does as he pleases.
Every citizen liable for a road
poll tax is allowed to work the
roads as he pleases, when he
pleases or where he pleases.
The roads of to-day are simply
an embargo upon the prospect
ty of Camas Prairie. We are
paying more for poor roads
than good ones would cost,
simply because we don't I'M
derstand how to build right,
and don't realise what a tax
poor roads are upon a commu-
nifty. If only one or two of
the worst places in each dist
riot were fixed up each year
in a thoroughly practical, sub
stantial, durable and perma-
nent manner we would in few
years have good roads all over
the Prairie.

Il Year Of Promise.

The year of grace, 1892,
promises to be memorable in
the history of Camas Prairie.
General good cheer and renew
ed hopefulness are plainly ap-
parent among the people, part
ly in consequence of the i'm
mense crop gathered last fall,
and partly because of the "a
bundant moisture that has al
ready fallen on the land this
winter. The year of drought,
1889, has taught the people a
lesson which they were quick
to learn. 1t has learned them
to be more economical, to vary
their industry and to husband
their resources. More than all,
it has shown them the folly of
going into debt. No more such
trying experiences are likely
to disturb this section as have
fallen to its lot of late years.
Already real estate has risen
in value, and immigrants with
more means are coming from
the east and from adjoining
states, and in nearly all cases
these visitors buy farms and
announce their intention of
making Camas Prairie their
abiding place forever
With an abundant harvest
this year, and with the sure
increase of development of the
mines of Elk City and other
districts back of us railroad
building cannot be delayed for
many months longer. The
opening to settlement of the
surplus lands on the Nez Perez
reservation already begins to
attract wide attention, and a
rush is expected. The best of
these lands are not far from
the railroad and their rapid
development is a foregone con-
clusion. In fact, the opening
of this reservation will trans
form the entire face of the
Clearwater basin into region
ofindustrial activity, enterprise
and wealth.

dings on the mountain this winter, but
still there are several young men wait
ing patiently for the ladies to give them
leap year call, and to their sorrow
there isn't an unmarried lady in the vi,
cnity of Rustic.
Last Friday night at about 7:30 p. m,
when everyone was supposed to be sit
ting around their parlor stoves enjoying
some good story or having a pleasant
chat, the presence of the tinkling sleigh
bells were heard near the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Costley. and on opening
the door they met quite surprise party
just arriving. 1t is needless to say they
spent two-thirds of the night with MIR.
Costley and lady in their new home and
had pleasant time. Each one brought
well-6lled basket and at midnight
they all partook of magnificent supper.

"Granger'' Uants Water FORKS.

"GranDer" Uiants Water UIorhs.
The increase in population
and numerous additions annex
cd to the thriving town of
Grangeville, makes us realize
the necessity of having add
tional water supply. We have
done very well with natural
flow of Three Mile creek, fed
by mountain springs of pure
cold water, and the numerous
springs now supplying us: but
the time has come when we
need a larger supply and a bet
ter system of distributing it.
White Bird creek could be
carried across the divide and
dropped into Three Mile creek.
1t being fed by the high snow
capped peaks would give us an
ample supply, not only to sup
ply the town through a good
water system, but furnish a
large quantity for manufactur-
ing purposes. This enterprise
is the very best opening for
profitable investment to-day
for a limited amount of capital
in northern Idaho, and Grange
vile should not let this oppor-
tunity slip. Her enterprising
citizens should organize and
begin this work at once. Be
ready as soon as the snow is
off to make the survey and put
men to work constructing a
canal. If our wives could sim
ply turn facet in any room of
the house and get a pitcher or
any. desired quantity of pure
water without going out doors
it would be fully appreciated.
The continued prosperity OF
our town demands this addl-
tional improvement, as water
can only be obtained on the
low fat along the creek, while
on the high flats it can only
be had by digging wells more
or less deep at more or less ex-
pense. With flow of five OF
ten hundred inches of water
running into Grangeville what
changes it would make! Large
manufacturing establishments
would surely come, large in.
crease would be made in the
population, our school house
would soon be replaced by one
far more imposing; soon the
electric light would guide us
through the streets of the city
and a general reign of prosper.
