oDDsh FOURTH <


The following resolution Az
imously adopted by the board I. l
Be it resolved by the board OF co
missioners of Idaho county, Tha1
whereas, portion of the Nez Perce
Indian reservation now being opened
to settlement lies within the limits of
this county and whereas the opening
Of said reservation will render acces-
sible and open up to settlement
large portion of her lands adjoining
the reservation lands situated in this
county And whereas, the said TO be
opened and developed, possesses pos
sibilities of marked deyelopement in
agricultural, horticultural, live stock
and mining interests; And whereas
the settlement of the said lands viii
add largely TO the taxable property
both real and personal in this county
and thereby benefit and aid the pub
lie institutions of this county and of
this state.
And whereas, the settlement and
deyelopement of the same will be re-
tarded for many years unless trans
POI ltation facilities be provided; and
whereas, the county is so rugged, aud
the expense of building railroads
through the same so great, that it is
probable that it will be many years
before it will be provided with any
railroad line, and IT may never be-
And whereas, the Clearwater river
runs to and through these lands, and
it by the expenditure of a reasonable
sum is susceptible Of affording trans
portation facilities for this country.
Therefore in order to make known
to the senators and representative
in congress, Of Idaho, and other Of
fiicials charged with duty in the prem
ises, the. Importance which the people
Of this county attach to the improve
ment of the Clearwater river.
