We Should Build the Road.

There lies strip of country in Sho-
shone county on the North Fork Of the
Clearwater river, in the vicinity Of Elk
creek, that is inhabited by several fami-
lies who desire to trade in this city, and
all that is necessary to get this trade is
to build a few miles of grade down the
river to a point named Joseph, recently
established on the Clearwater extension
of the Northern Pacific Ry.
Sam Stewart, who is we'll known by
old-timers of this city and lives in Dent,
in the neighborhood of the above section
of country, states that this new road if
opened down the water grade of the
river, would be traversible at all times of
the year, whereas the only outlet the
settlers have now is over mountain bar
rier of several miles and down to Ken
drick, and this route for several months
in the year is impossible.
This project should be taken up by the
commercial club of this city, looked into,
and something done if possible TO give
these people the relief they SO urgently
desire.

City Council Met.

The council met in special session Mon
day night, with Mayor Weisgerber pre-
siding and all councilmen present except
Wilkinson.
The body resolved itself into Board
of Equalization for the purpose of re-
ceiving the report and inspecting the as
sessment rolls of 1899, as returned by
Assessor Barnett, who was present
The rolls show total assessable prop
erty, both real and personal, $S3o,9I7.8o,
Widows exemption, SIG, ,285. Forty poll
taxes were collected. by which $50 was
realized and turned into the treasurer,
less SS commission.
No taxpayers were present to protest
against the assessed valuation of their
respective properties, and it is evident no
raise will be made by the board as il was
the consensus of opinion that the valua
tions were placed high enough.
Mrs. w. w Leeper, Mrs. w. c. Fritter
and Mrs. l.. Ross appeared as a commit
tee before the council, asking that COM
mittees be named to act in conjunction
with like committees to make arrange
ments for the proper reception of our vol.
untcers, Company B, aud also Company c
of Grangeville.
Councilman Tannahill made motion,
which prevailed, that the mayor appoint
three committees-to consist of Arrange
ments, Reception aud Special Commit
tee-to go as far as Riparia to meet the
volunteers and escort them to the city.
The mayor stated that he would name
the committees at an early day.
The ladies were of the opinion that the
programme should consist of a reception
and banquet and grand ball. and to
hold out all inducements possible to have
as many Grangeville people come to our
city as possible and join in the festivities
Councilman Russell stated that he un-
derstopd the volunteers were all to go to
Boise in body, and wanted TO know
what effect that would have regarding a
reception here.
He was assured by all present that it
would make no material difference; the
soldiers should be banqueted here any
way.
The committee of ladies, when they
were about to withdrew from the council
room. were given to understand that the
council would stand by them and aid
them i'll every way possible i'll getting up
and carrying out successfully a suitable
programme.
The assessment roll was read by Clerk
Poe to the letter NJ, and upon motion the
council adjourned until Tuesday evening.
A quorum failed to appear last evening,
and at $50 Mayor Weisgerber adjourned
until 7 O'Clock this evening, at which
time it is hoped to finish the work as a

What is considered the finest band in the southern hemisphere is com posed entirely of criminals It is the Convict band of Noumea, New Gale donil, Australasia. The kiosk in which the cOnvicts play is in the Place des CocoieTs, and is surrounded by cCC0anut trees and. flame trees with their scarlet flowers. which give the place gay appearance. The band, which is generally about thirty strong, is made up cf first class convicts. The performances take place On Tuesdays and Thursdays at D. m., under the supervision of armed warders. who march round and round the musicians. The music is classical.
