goes on to moralize a little bit,
and tell of the condition of

fact that Charles Sweeny, for
the great firm of Clark &

$2so,ooo cash for the Big Buff

further, how does he combat

goes on to say that "Grange.

1t is, good friend, and a grow.
ing one at that. Why, in your
section of country it would be
a large agricultural city. 1t is
in the center of a large, fertile
prairie, IS miles square, which
nets 40 bushels of wheat to the
acre; and allowing that only

our friend can reckon what the
production is: One year age
today Grangeville had on hel
list forty-eight licences issued
to merchants and professional
men; today the number is 1870
and growing every day. "The
proof Of the pudding is in the
eating thereof" and all these
are facts, only to be substanti
ated by an examination. The
really significant feature of thu
above interview is the fact
that it was sent over the wires

Hump is the question which is agi-
tating all who are interested in the
welfare of Buffalo Hump and the
surrounding country, at the pres
ent. Rufus Hawley, of the Crack
erjack and Santa Rosa mines, gave
the Press quite an extended inter
view on the subject this morning.
He said: "The proposed road will
leave the Florence road at some
point to be determined later, be-
tween Slate creek and Adams camp,
taking the grade, and will probably
strike Slate creek near the falls
above Costen's, climbing out at
some point near Koontzs cabin,
then following the best grades, as
per survey, obtainable to Buffalo
Hump. 1t will keep in the timber
as much as possible. When the
survey is completed active meas
ures should be taken Immediately
to procure the necessary funds,
with the aid of the county, to COM
plete the road by September to al
low sufficient time to forward the
supplies for the winter to avoid the
exorbitant expense of freight at
tendant on shipping goods in over
the snow. This should be done
prior to snow.
1.-THE county commissioners should
awaken to the realization of the ne
cessity and Importance of assisting
literally in the matter. No one
thing can be done Of more absolute
Importance to the merchants OF
Grangeville, the farmers of Camas
prairie and the people in general
than the immediate completion OF
this road. This is a matter when
is certainly worthy Of a special
meeting of the county commission
ers for its consideration.
IT will say that without eXcep-
ton the mining men of the camp
have manifested the livliest inter,
est in the matter, and one and all
who have been approached have
promised and stated their intention
to assist the enterprise both win
; money and labor. The business
men of Grangeville, as far as
have been able to ascertain, realize
} the vast Importance OF the prolec'
and are willing and ready to sno'
scribe literally"

GIVE THE BOYS A CHANCE
g,lp the Band. II Costs Little and
Gives Pleasure to All.

In every city and town there are
certain institutions which should
be properly supported both by IT,
nancial aid and moral support, and
the Press believes that band is
one Of them.
It has Just been announced that
the local band has disorganized,
through the fact that, although the
boys freely gave their time for both
practice and performance, they
have not received any encourage
ment from the citizens in a none
tary way. This seems too bad.
GAS a matter of fact the town has
paid very little towards supplying
the boys with q musical instructor,
the last three months, nothing"
said w. F. Schmadaka to a Press
reporter. :sThe town should at
least pay this expense. Why, we
have even personally paid for our
own sheet music, and l have never
charged the band one cent for the
use Of my hall upstairs for prac-
tice. You see it would be differ
emit if the town was large enough
to give us an opportunity to play
at social functions and earn money.
but it has not as yet arrived at tina,
stage, so you see that after careful
and mature deliberation we have
decided to disband for the present
OF course, if we had any real en-
couragement we would gladly re
organize"
This matter should be taken ny
by some Of our representative citi
Gems and looked into, in view o
the fact that the boys are comm.
home from the PHILIPPINES, and w
must positively have band to re
ceive them, and the band must b.
in shape to do honor both to them
selves and the city. This coul'
easily be done by popular subscrip
ton.
