individual citizens make such sub
scriptions there is no necessity for
any taxpayer to be thrown into
spasms at the thought of SO 200 of
additional taxation. 1t is only
three dollars on the 81 900 added
to our taxes, and the burden is
equally distributed. The benefits
to accrue can only be measured by
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The $4,000 is simply the seed grain
from which we reap a bountiful
harvest. There is not man in
the community, official or tax
payer, but would act promptly if
he were the county personiiied and
the matter was one purely of his
individual concern. If any one
man, commissioner or taxpayer,
owned the whole county worth say,
a million dollars, he would not
hesitate moment to invest $4,000
from his abundant store to improve
his property directly to double that
sum, and indirectly to an almost
incalculable extent. The state has
already expended $4,000, and it
will be Il suicidal course if that cx-
penditure is allowed to go to waste.
Every cent is for the development
and improvement of the county.
What do we pay taxes for, anyhow? :?
For years, we have hammered on
this topic. 1t has been the ambi-
ton of fifteen of the best years of
our life to open up this royal infant
of Idaho county, that men from
the outside world might be ena-
bled to travel through our rich
agricultural and mining regions
that has been SO long a "terra in
cognita" and Tom Tiddlers'
ground )" SO that old Idaho county
one of the mother counties of the
state-might take her proper place
in population and taxable wealth
as she takes it in geographical
area. No other county has such
vast and varied resources.
Let us take advantage of the
present golden opportunity to open
the doors to our treasure vaults.
We have no bonded debts. The
back of the hard times is broken,
and the extra burden is so equally
distributed that no individual will
feel it. And there is a good deal
more involved than the mere com
pletion of the road to Elk City.
That is simply ii main stem, from
which will radiate other roads
tributary thereto and equally i'm
portant. Southwark from Elk
City the road will be extended by
private enterprise over Buffalo
Hill. and across American river to
Gold Hill, and Wheeler and
Campbell gulches across Red river
to Relief creek, Crooked river
Twenty Mile and Buffalo Hump

Eastward the road will be speedily
built to the Red river meadows
and thence to Dixie in one direc-
ton and on over the Bitter Root
summit to Montana, thus open.

through neglect, into atrocious maladies, dan
gerous in themselves and productive Of other 8.
It is the disregard of the earlier indications Of
Ill health which leads to the establishment Of
all sorts Of maladies on q chronic basis. More
over, there are certain disorders incident to the
season, such as malaria and rheumatism,
against which IT is always desirable to fortify
the system after exposure to the conditions
which produce them. Cold damp and niasma
are surely counteracted by Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. After you have incurred risk from
these influences, wineglassful of Hostetter's

At this season everyone should take

must be purified or you will be neglect

Nature for help, and unless there is

will be liable to serious illness.

WEARY OF LIFE.

o. w. Holmes came running down
town to DR.. Morris Office last night
about nine o'clock to summon him to
the bedside of his wife who had taken
big dose of chloroform.
When he arrived she was unconscious
and breathed very heavily. An emetic
was given her and after couple of
hours hard work, the effects of the
deadly drug was overcome and the
patient began to revive, She told the
doctor she desired to go from this
world of trouble and sorrow.
Mrs. Holmes was formerly Mrs. Tay-
Tor and the couple were married few
months ago. She and he get along all
right but her Oldest girl, who opposed
the marriage it is claimed makes life
as bitter as gall for her mother. This
event it is hoped will bring about a
reconciliation which will finally culmi-
nate in a happy family.

burned Monday morning.

o'clock, the rear or kitchen part was
all in flames and an alarm was turned

the building so it would be of any use.
Mr.. Whitford was in Dowagiac where
he is working this summer and Mrs.
Whtford was visiting her people in
Kent Co Mrs. Bert King had
rented a portion OF the house and a day
or two before had moved her goods In

and contents of 81 900, in companies
