The case of j. F. Ailshie VS..
Idaho county was heard in the
Probate Court last Friday. Messrs.
Fogg & Ailshie appeared for the
plaintiff and w. N. Scales Esq,
for the county. The plaintiff in
troduced the records of the Board
of County Commissioners to show
the authority of Mr.. Telcher to
employ counsel, and writing from
Mr.. Telcher to the Board, which
plaintiff contended was a contract
of employment. Mr.. Ailshie then
took the stand and said that he had
performed about two weeks work
on the State Wagon Road case.
Attorney II. f. Samuels was in
troduced and testified that he con-
sidered $500, the amount sued for
a reasonable fee. The plaintiff
then closed his case, relying solely
on the writing signed by Mr.. Tel
cher and addressed to the Board
of County Commissioners, to prove
that he was employed.
The defendant introduced Mr..
Telcher. Judge CARRIER ruled that
any conversation as to employment
had before the writing was made
(Which was made and signed after
the Supreme Court had decided the
Wagon Road case) was not compe-
tent testimony, but witness could
say whether any fraud had been
practised on him and whether he
understood the wording Of the writ
ing. Under this ruling Mr.. Tel
cher said he intended this writing
as nothing but recommendation
to the Board of County Commits
sioners, and that it should not in
any case whatever bind the county;
and that when he signed it he did
not think it could possibly be con-
strued into a contract. Counsel
for defendant claimed the writing
was mere statement and in no
sense a contract, and asked Mr..
Telcher if he ever employed the
plaintiff. The court would not
allow the witness to answer the
question, under his former ruling.
Counsel asked Mr.. Telcher if he
had not repeatedly refused to
employ the plaintiff although
plaintiff had repeatedly solicit
ted him to do so. The
court, under its ruling above re-
ferred to would not permit Mr..
Telcher to reply to the question.
Here defendant closed and the case
was submitted without argument
and the court took it under advise
ment until tomorrow, June 10th.

In Memorian.- Mrs. @. f. Smith.

DIED.-On the South Fork of
Salmon river, Idaho Co., Idaho,
June 5, 1894, Mrs. G. f. Smith, a
native of Oregon.
A private letter from a friend in
Warrens states that Mrs. Smith
died on her husbands ranch at
3 o'clock on the morning of June
9th. Mrs. Smith had left Warrens
a week before to visit her family
on the ranch and in due time she
started to return to the camp, but
took sick on the trail and had to
be taken back to the ranch, where
she died. Frank and Mrs. Smith
have lived in Warrens and on the
South Fork of Salmon for IS
years, and family of six children,
the youngest a little over three
years old, are left with our friend
Frank to mourn the loss of the
best wife and mother that ever
lived. A more generous hearted
and sympathetic lady never breath
ed than Mrs. Smith, and hundreds
of men throughout that mountain
region who have experienced the
hospitality Of her household will
shed a silent tear when they learn
the sad news that the grim reaper
has called her hence. The hard
ships of life in that isolated region
Mrs. Smith endured with wonder
ful courage and fortitude, and
adapted herself to the exigencies
of the situation with great common
sense and heartiness, and was in
fact an angel of mercy to the sick
and suffering in Warrens camp.
The vacancy left in the family
circle can never be filled, since the
Almighty hath called her up to sit
at his right hand as Il reward for
her good works on earth. To the
bereaved family the united condol-
ence of the community is tenderly
and sympathetically extended.

The Kendrick. Wagon Road.

Mr.. Worth returned from Spo-
kane Tuesday and reports that the
immigration Bureau and Shippers
Association of that metropolis had
pledged over $500 to aid in the
construction of the new wagon road
between Camas Prairie and Clear
water. All that money is to be
spent on this side of the river and
is to be disbursed as follows: One
half when the road is half COM
pleted, the other half when the
road is finished. The canvassing
committee secured subscriptions to
the amount of 1885 in two hours,
and the sum may be increased
to 81 900.
The Kendrick people are said to
have built l miles of the worst
part of the road across the river,
and the Julietta people are rushing
their section through. 1t is time
for Camas Prairie people to be
making their plans if the road is to
be built this year. AS we said last
week, nothing but teams and labor
will be required from our people.
Let the good work proceed. Give
us the Kendrick, and Julietta and
Elk City roads, and then let the
Commissioners repair the State
road to Warrens and you shall see
Camas Prairie and its tributary
mining camps boom with a boom
that eclipse the biggest booms ever
known in any of the boom States.

Cost of clearing, 10000
Total, SS,O41.36
The maximum grade from Dem
yer to where the new road inter-
scots the SHELLS Mill road, this
side of Clearwater river, twelve
miles from Notwithstanding
both sides of the Clearwater cam
yon-is made 10 per cent, or 20
inches to the rod. From the above
point to the head of Wandscheer
gulch is III per cent. The new
road down this gulch is about half
constructed and is built ON the
east slope, and will soon be COM
pleted with the large force employ
ed. From the mouth of the gulch
to town the road is practically lev
el and in good repair. These esti-
mates are made on solid ten foot
road bed, and the cast dirt will
make it twelve to fifteen feet wide.
At Lawyers Canyon the maxi
mum grade is 10 per cent. on the
south side and 8 per cent. on the
north side. From Denver to the
breaks of Lawyers Canyon, and
from that point to the Clearwater
Canyon, the country is a rolling
prairie. From the breaks of Clear
water to SHELLS Mill road is rolling
and sparsely timbered. The engin-
eer in charge, Mr.. j. H. Moragne,
and his assistants, all speak in the
highest praise of the entire route,
and was surprised to find such an
easy grade all the way through,
and feel satisfied that with the
amount estimated and judicious
management in their labor and
construction the road from Ken
drick to Camas Prairie will be a
grand success and a road establish
ed that will be easily travelled for
all purposes.
