NEW HUMP TRAIL.
Work TO Be Commenced on the Cutoff
to the Camp.

Work is to commence on the new
cutoff to the Hump this week.
Frank Brown is raising a fund for
the purpose of prosecuting this en-
terprise and is meeting with flat
tering encouragement.
Mr.. Brown explains that howev-
err deep or soft the snow may be in
the vicinity of the Hump, there
will be long portion of the trail
altogether clear of snow. 1t is ill.,
tended to take advantage of this
and push the trail to where the
snow becomes deep and impossible.
Here goods and horse feed will be
cached and stored, at a point about
fifteen miles from the camp.
From this point the trial will be
gradually broken through the deep
snow until there is clear trail to
the Hump for pack animals.
While the undertaking is not a
light one, there is so much at stake
that those interested in the camp
are determined to use every effort
to get the scheme in working order.
The trail starting from Mt. Idaho,
will follow the breaks of the Clear
water, keeping this side of the
river instead of crossing it twice as
the old trail at present does. The
principal work will have to be done
between the Cove and the mouth of
Johns creek. 1t is estimated that
the cost of making the trail will
not exceed six or seven hundred
dollars.
With this trail completed the
trip to the Hump will be shortened
almost fifteen miles. When the
snow goes off man on horseback
can make the trip to the Hump
from Grangevile in one day.

OF the regulations governing tb;s
matter and governing the forest
reserve generally, by droppinp n
card to Superintendent Glendsn
ming at Grangeville.
In q letter yesterday received
from the Hon. Commissioner of tbe
general land Office, that official saws.
You will endeavor to make it pen.
orally understood that ii is NOT in
tended to withhold from the genera,
use OF the public the areas covered
by the forest reserves, and practic.
ally lock up their resources. but
the intent is to maintain and utilize
their forest products in a state Of
the highest combined production
for the direct benefit of the people
dependent thereon and to supr,lv
local demands within the state in
which the timber grows The
preservation and conservation Of
the waterfalls is also of prime
Importance.
1.-The laws creating and regulat-
ing the reservations especially
declare that it is not intended 10
include lands chiefly valuable for
agriculture and minerals. And the
miner, as miner, has every right
on the reserve he has elsewhere.
another objection made by the
bears OF the Hump country is that
here is no provision for a town
site on the reservation. Asa matter
OF fact the law provides that the
president can at any time set apart
any part of the reservation for anv
reason. The letter above
to me contains directions to myself
and Supt. Glendenning to make "a
personal examination of that part
OF the reserve containing the Hump
and also certain land without the
reservation and to make recon-
mendations showing the lands
which you deem should be elimin-
ated or added to such reservation.
We shall begin this examination at
an early date and make speedy
report thereon.
$50 you will observe that every
demand toward the de
velopment of the country will be
met. At present all miners and
prospectors are lawfully entitled to
carry on their business on the res
ervation. If the camp shows such
permanency as to require land for
a townsite, the president will no
doubt set it aside and lots for bust
ness purposes could he purchased
and occupied. A patented mining
claim on the reserve could also be
used Tor business purposes, but
until claim is patented the claim
ant has only the right of occupancy
for his own individual mining work
and has no power to snb-let any
part of the claim for any purpose.

COUNTY CONVICT FARMS.
How Counties May Use Short-Term
Convicts to Advantage.

PERHAPS the ill of greatest import
auce passed during the day was that
introduced some time ago by Mr.. Win
ston. of BERTHE. providing for the estab-
lishment of county convict farms, and
for working convicts on the public roads
1ne bill permits the county commission
ers of each county in the State to pur-
chase county farm upon which con-
victs are to be employed. 1t also pro-
vides for working them on the county
roads under such regulations as the said
commissioners may prescribe.
IL a county does not purchase farm
the court is to sentence convicted per-
sons to the farms of other counties. All
persons sentenced to as much as five
years must go to these farms.
Mr.. Winston gave an interesting &C
count of the working of convicts in Ber-
tie county. That county has a farm
upon which the Home for the Aged and
Iniirm is located The work has been
the raising of food supplies for the poor
and prisoners and results in saving at
least thousand dollars annually.
Mr. Winston said that tins use Of
convicts had effected saving of over
81 900 a year for the past three years
in BERTHE. The convietS available for
such use are those under sentence of
FIVE years or less.
The bill passed without debate, mem
hers remarking on all sides that they
regarded it as an excellent measure.
The law is not obligatory, but gives
The counties power if desired to thus
dispose Of their convicts, and also to
take convicts from counties which may
not desire to avail themselves of the
law.
This bill will relieve the penitentiarv
of more than half it's convicts and vii
greatly simplify the management of that
institution. 1t would result in purchas-
ing at least one farm for State convicts.

HAT OF SPUN GLASS.

A guest at one of the leading New
Orleans hotels put in an appearance in
the office wearing very peculiar look
ing hat. At first glance it seemed to be
of finely woven brown straw, but closer
scrutiny showed that the material was
evidently something else. TWAS passed
around among group of friends, and
they all took guess. One thought it
was prepared silk, and another thought
it was asbestos, says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat.

man; sit is made of spun glass. You
can see it has considerable elasticity,
and I fancy it would be about as hard
to break as an ordinary Panama. ]
