GRANGEvILLE, IDAHO CO., IDAHO FRIDAY JUNE l, 1894
Elk Cify Road to be Butt.

On May 25 the State Wagon
Road Commissioners let tho. con-
tract for the construction of the
Elk City branch Of the State Wa
gon Road to Cameron & Lynch, of
Spokane, for so much of. the road
as the appropriation will cover.
Their bid last winter was IL miles
on this end of the road for $4,000.
The same firm got the contract for
five miles of the Little Salmon
division for $4,000, absorbing the
remainder of the appropriation for
that branch.
1t is not probable that Cameron
and Lynch will sign these contracts
unless they are pretty sure of sub
letting them to local parties, as the
sums involved are comparatively
small for the work to be done and
there will be very little if any mar
gin on any of the work for the sub
contractors to make profit on.
The encouragement informed
the Commission that in his opinion
the $14,S5O premium arising from
the sale of the bonds could not be
applied on the road fund without
additional legislation. The Com
mission dissented from this view
and ordered that mandamus pro-
ceedings be instituted against the
State auditor in order that the
matter may be tested in the su-
preme court of the State.

Officials Of the Miners Union Announce

circular of the announ cement OF the
settlement of the strike issued by the

IN the hands OF committee consisting
OF the national officers and the district
vice president. The circular continues:
"W lille we have not been able to re-
store Wages to what they We're in the
early part Of 1898, we have in many
cases prevented reductions, and in 9TH
ers secured part Of what we lost.
While we have not succeeded in &C.
complishing everything mapped out by
the national convention, we have se-
cured more for the men than could
have been obtained through local or
sectional efforts, and in our Judgment,
all that could be secured by the present
movement under the conditions by
which we were surrounded, and which
conditions were unforeseen at the time
of the national convention. The bulle-
tin concludes:
''We feel that much has teen accom-
plished and gained by this effort which
could not have been secured by any
other method. We earnestly advise
that you accept the conditions made
and resume work on June IL as pro-
vided in the contract. We are so con-
fident of the correctness of our position
in signing and advising the acceptance
that we stake our reputation as your
servants, and our further continuance
In official position"
