Another rocky point about half
way to Boulder creek. Boulder
creek very rocky filled with large
loose boulders and on both sides of
the stream. Better to bridge on
that account. From Boulder creek
to base of Little Salmon Mountain
no impediments except loose rock.
From base of the mountain to top
distance 4 miles very steep. From
top to bottom on South side,
miles also steep. A wagon road
the mountains would be imprac-
ticable. The only practicable routes
would be to around. By the right
the road would go through a pass
much lower than the summit of
the mountain, but still quite high;
the better way would be to follow
the river canon which is now i'm
passable on account of fallen
timber. From top of the noun
tain | could see more than half of
the canon, and saw nothing that
would prevent the building of "a
road. Arrived in camp on the
Little Salmon at 3:45 p. IN. Dis
lance 2 miles from the trail at base
of mountain. Grazing very good
except from Boulder creek to base
of mountain on South side. On
Salmon Meadows grazing excellent.
Fuel abundant. Fine timber for
bridging purposes.
Tuesday, June IL 3 a. tn a. m,
Courier Pike Davenport arrived in
camp with instructions from Col.
Wheaton for my return to Mt.
Idaho on account of the Bannock
outbreak. My animals being very
tired from the last 2 days march
ing concluded to give them rest
and lay over until the next day
also for the purpose of going down
the canon from this side and seeing
that part of it that / could not
see from the top of mountain.
One point found very bad and
do not think it could be worked
through as the soil loose and OF
account of the steepness of thu
bluff would be continually filling
the road bed but l think a goot
road could be built up around TIL,
base of this point. The current o
the Little Salmon River through
Salmon Meadows in sluggish
Bottom and approaches miry.

Itinerary of the route from Mt.
Idaho, l. r., to Little Salmon
Meadows, l. II.
Thursday June 6, rs, in compli-
:ance with Par. 5 Special Or
ders No. 81 Headquarters,
Department of the Columbia,
dated May 18th, 1878, l left Camp
Howard, Mt. Idaho, l. r., at 2 p.
m, with enlisted men and
packer, and went down White
Bird to within ) miles of its mouth
and camped. Distance travelled,
IS miles,
From Camp Howard to the head
of White Bird canon, 10 miles, the
road passes over Camas prairie and
is very good, except in a few places
a little rocky, and in others miry,
owing to small streams coming
from the mountains, fed by snow
water. Late in the season these
streams all dry up, but for the
greater part of the year give
trouble; by draining or corduroy
ing these miry places could be
prevented.
The Iext miles is down the
canon and verv steep, the grade
lon the present road cannot be
made less steep than it is to this
point, but l think a better road
could be made by following Harris
guich, to the left of this road and
intersecting it just below its steep
est part. The road however could
be greatly improved by widening
and removing loose rocks. The
remainder of the distance 4 miles
which is more or less steep and
rocky could be made a very good
road by grading and increasing the
radii of the curves.
Grazing excellent; water on
Camas prairie scarce; no fuel nearer
than the mountains which is from
2 to miles from the road. After
reaching White Bird creek, fuel
and water in abundance. This
stream is fordable at all seasons OF
the year, with hard bottom and
good approaches.
The country passed over is very
fertile but owing to the altitude,
the seasons on Camas prairie is
quite late. In White Bird vegeta-
ton is much farther advanced.
The head of White Bird canon
above its mouth is about 1000 feet.
Friday June 18th, broke camp at
$50 a. m. The grade TO top of
bluff overlooking the Salmon, dis
lance / mile, very steep, to make
road for wagons over it would
require several windings. The
grade from top of bluff to the Sal
mon quite gentle. Along the river
for u miles the trail winds along
the base of high bluffs until we
reach Browns store. The next
miles is very much the same with
q little more bottom land. This
brings us to Skookum Chuck creek
From this point to McKenzies
creek, distance 4 miles there is
still more bottom land, but still
requiring great deal of grading.
From McKenzies creek to Slate
creek is the worst part of the II
miles from White Bird to the latter
place. There are two trails from
McKenzies creek, low water trail
and high water trail Owing to
high water / had to cross over the
latter, but for a wagon road the
grade would have to be made
between them.
On both sides of the Salmon river

SIR:-In compliance with s.
o. No. 81, Par. 5, dated May 18th,
1878, from your Headquarters, |
have the honor to enclose here
with my itinerary of the route gone

tions as / could make in the one
furnished mel from Mt. Idaho to
Little Salmon Meadows, at which
place / received orders recalling
me. had gone over all the worst
part of the road from Mt. Idaho to
Whites on the Little Wciser. The
remainder of the road would give
no trouble. A road over the route
travelled is not at all impracticable
and in fact from all / can learn is
the only practicable one for a
wagon road from Mt. Idaho to the
Weiser, for the following reasons:
on account of it's being more easily
Rfducu, DtIiiS inuoi ihOip VII W.
than by way of Florence, and being
except in very severe winters open
all the year, whereas on the Flor
ence route it is impossible on ac-
count of snow from 6 to s months
of the year.
Not having had experience in
making roads, l am unable to ar
rive at the cost of a road over such
a rough country. The citizens
who have had some experience in
road making say a road could be
built for $50, 900, but l cannot agree
with them as. l think good road
from Mt. Idaho to the Weiser
could not be built for less than
from $4,000 to 100000.
In building road on the Salmon
it would be advisable to commence
at the Little Salmon Meadows and
work down as all the timber for
bridging would have to be gotten
in that neighborhood, and it is
impossible to float it down.
I am, sir, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

How to get a Railway.

The people of Clallam county can, if
they are sd minded, build a railroad
within the county by their own means
and exertions which would solve the
problem of transportation and connec-
ton with the outside world. Within
their own resources they could organ
lie company and build few miles
at time. A road five miles out from
Port Angeles toward the lakes would
reach sufficient timber to make good
income. Seventyfive thousand doll
ars for material and labor would more
than put that much in operation
Then it could be extended by the same
methods and bonding that which was
built, to the lakes. A small steamer
on Lake Sutherland would open up
and bring all the travel and traffic over
the road from the Quillayute country
From that point the projectors would
find little difficulty in extending their
road down into the Quillayute and on
south towards Gray's harbor, eventual
ly forming a junction with the road
now building west from Shelton in
Mason county.-Tribune-Times.

The Apple Tingis and Aphides.

This species of leaf-lice is thickly
covering some OF the leaves on young
apple trees. The name of the insect is
"Corythuca arcuata" commonly called
Apple Tingis or applelace-wing. The
season of injury from these lice is near
ly past in September, because fruit
trees both young and old should ripen
their wood and cease growing, but
where the lice thickly cover the leaves.
they should be destroyed before escap-
ing. One OF: the very best remedies is
quassia and soap according to the for
mula Of one pound of quassia chips,
one pound soft soap to seven gallons
water. Boil the chips about half an
hour or soak few hours in hot water
strain off the chips and add the SOAP.
The mixture should be stirred as it
cools.
Immediately after the fruit has been
gathered is the best time to attack the
woody aphis on bearing fruit trees.
The station at Berkeley, California, has
demonstrated that the Bordeaux mix
ture, arsenited, was good destroyer of
these pests. 1t can be used according
to formula of pounds blue-stone, 10
pounds lime, 10 gallons water, and if
Paris green is added the amount should
be ounces( q pound).
The most effective remedy used in
the orchards of Washington last year
was the lime, sulphur and salt This
spray should be thoroughly boiled and
prepared, and used as early as possible
after fruit-picking.
Double strength of the quassia and
soap solution is one of the best RENE
dies for woolly aphis during foliage
season, The formula is one pound
quassia chips. one pound soap to four
gallons water, prepared in the same
as for the general solution.
The sprays should be directed on the
stems of the trees as much as possible. J

A MAN who rides for health and
pleasure and not to race or score cen
turies says that his plan is never to go
so fast that he must breathe thou gh
his mouth. AS long as his nostrils
can supply sufficient air he knows
that he is not over-exerting himself.
AS soon as he feels an inclination to
breathe through his mouth he slack
ems his pace. The New York Herald
says that a special meeting of leading
dentists of that city was lately held to
consider a new feature in dentistry
caused by breathing through the
mouth, when riding the bicycle. It
causes the gums to get sore and in=
famed and the teeth to finally fall
out.

A County Fair.

It has no doubt occurred to many of
our readers, when they read about the
splendid local fairs held in other en-
terprising communities of Washing
ton, and recall the good old times at
the eastern county fairs, why Mason
County does not organize fair asso-
citation. A start can be made on a
small scale, and with the work of some
energetic people, before we know it,
we can get up an exhibition that will
attract everybody in this, as we'll as
adjoining counties The Shelton prai-
rie, scarce a half mile from Shelton
offers a perfect ground, and little
building and improving, would afford
a good race track, baseball grounds,
stock sheds for exhibitions, and what
ever else was necessary.
This would stimulate the raising of
blooded stock, weed out scrubs, afford
amusement and recreation, and en-
courage a good natured rivalry and
interest among the farmers of the
county. The grounds could be fenced
and after the start was made, we
believe, such scheme could he made
self supporting, even if it did not pay
anything to its projectors. If they
were interested in the welfare and pro-
gress OF Mason County, they would be
amply repaid in many ways for their
outlay.
Mason County produces abundantly
and the big things of its fruit, vege-
table and cereal crops, would, il
gathered together, form a pleasing and
interesting sight. The finest fruit
grown could be shown here, and a
great many of our home people would
be greatly surprised. The advantages
to come from this part of the exhibit
tons are numerous. They would show
the visitor what We can grow, encour-
age The farmers and fruit growers
bring them together to compare notes,
and cause them to put forth best eff
orts. The farmers wives and daugh-
tiers would have an opportunity to
show their handicraft in butter max
! ing, poultry raising and other work
which falls to them about the farm.
1t is too late for anything this year,
but not too late to begin talking this
matter up for next year. In 1896, the
JOURNAL hopes to see good beginning
toward the best County fair in the
State. 1t is something in which
everybody is Interested

A Timely Reminder.

Each season forces upon our consid
Grafton its own peculiar peri1s TO health
The advent of fall finds many reduc
ed in strength and vigor, poorly pre-
pared to continue the business of life
The stomach and bowels, the great
highway of animal economy, is espec-
tally liable to disorder in the fall. The
nervous system has also suffered in
the struggle. Typhoid fever and NAL
aria in particular find in the fall that
combination of earth, air and water
that mark this season as especially
dangerous The falling leaves, the
decaying vegetables contribute their
share of contamination. Hoods Sar-
saparil1a furnishes a most valuable
safeguard at these important points,
and should be used in the fall before
serious sickness has laid you low.

4 New Lumber Trust.

In order to successfully meet the
strong competition the British Column
bia lumber, aided by free trade, is MAX
ing against the American product, a
new lumber trust or combination has
been formed in San Francisco, which
includes nearly all the big mill owners
in Oregon and Washington. 1t is said
that Victoria and Vancouver mills
have been shipping lumber into Cali.
fornia for less than cost of manufac-
ture on this side.
If the new combine is a success it
will be far reaching in it's operations.
Not only it is intended to fight the
mills OF British Columbia on the coast,
but the trust will reach out for foreign
trade, of which at present the Ameri-
can manufacturers have a small share.
1t is argued that there is big field for
this trade, which requires only capital
and energy to develop into source of
immense profit.
1t is asserted that for the past three
years the lumber fraternity of the Pa
cific coast has been losing annually
round million dollars. The milling
capacity during that time is said to
{ have been between 1000, 100000 and
1,200,00O,000 feet of lumber yearly,
while the demand, including ofcoast
cargOes, has never exceeded 400 100000
feet year. To make the situation
more distressing, the Victoria and
Vancouver mills have a capacity of
between 200,000,000 and 100000 900
feet a year, and they come in direct
competition with the American mills,
cutting under them in price. In
Southern California there has been
building boom of late, but, according
to Mr. Bib, the bulk of material ship
ped to Southern ports has come from
British Columbia.
One of the most impo rtant moves
which the trust will make wilrbe to
keep up the price of material. How
they can do this in the face of such
strong competition from the British
Columbia mills is one of the secrets of
the combine.

Mason County Should Have Creamery

One of the growing industries of
this state is the creamery business
and from the advantages of climate
pasturage, pure water in abundance.
and conyeniences for reaching the
worlds markets, there can be no cues
ton that the creamery industry is des-
tined to reach greater proportions each
succeeding year.
1t Is often the case that one industry
creates Cor increases at ,east) the de-
mand for the output OF another. Such
Is the case with creameries. Since
their rapid increase in this state there
has been a growing demand for the
production of tub and bucket factories.
and the few of these latter institutions
have found their business becoming
greater and more profitable.
The best material for making these
articles of wood, especially those in
which to pack butter, is the spruce. be-
cause the wood does not affect the
taste of the butter. This timber is
not found everywhere, even in this
wonderfully wooded state, but it grows
IN abundance in the country tributary
to Gray's harbor-Montesano Vidette
