the city yesterday on his way from
the Hump to eastern points on
mining business, says the Review.
The Hiyu mine is the talk of
central Idaho," he said. when
| was at Florence few DAYS since
the vein in the drift at the 300-foot
level had widened to three and a
half feet and the average value in
gold was s2S per ton, the ore being
absolutely free milling. 1t is PROV
ing to be a fine piece of mining
property and the developments at
depth are doing much to awaken
interest in Florence mines, which
only require similar persistent de-
velopment to make them as valu-
able as the Hiyu.
''The dredging company which
will operate near Florence has
placed an order for l4O, 600 feet of
lumber to be used in the extensive
operations to be undertaken there
this summer.
"Work started Tuesday ON a
new trail to the Hump. Frank
Brown, the Hump store keeper, is
in charge of the work and it will
be pushed with all possible speed.
About 40 head of horses will be
used in opening up the trail up to
the snow line and it will be SHOW
eled out from that point on. There
will be less snow on this route than
on any other and it will be shorter
and more easily travelled. The
route is by the Big Cove and fol-
lows the Blue ridge, which parallels
the water shed between the Clear
water and the Salmon, but is lower
than the summit of the water shed
and therefore less snowy. The ex-
pense is being paid by subscription.

out of the deep snow. There are

tions of the timber reserve agents,

BUFFALO,. HUMP TOWNS,
Walter RI. Hill Describes Their
Location and Advantages.


w. II. Hill is out from the
Hump for a short visit with his
family. He reports much snow in
the mountains this season, and as
ii has settled down to a compact
mass, there is very liable to be ex-
treme high W alter next month.
1.-TWO little towns have sprung UP
i'll the Buffalo Hump region, said
Mr.. Hill; lone. Buffalo, is situated
adjoining and west of the Big Buff
falo group, and the other, Callen-
der, is just below the Winslow, ON
Lake creek, near the site where
Clark Il Sweelly propose to build
their mill. Both towns are grow
ing, and each have some points Of
merit. In winter time Calender
would be the most desirable place
to live, on account of its sheltered
location. lying in canyon and
heavily timbered; while Buffalo.
being high and dry, and on a
southern slope, would be free from
impurities of decaying damp .vege-
tation. The town of Buffaho has
two saloons, a restaurant and lodg-
ing house, while Mt Calender are
located two stores, three saloons,
restaurant, lodging house, DOCTORS
office, barber shop, meat market,
etc.
"As no sawmills have yet been
established in the Hump everyone
is living in tents or roughly thrown
up log frames covered with tents.''
There is crying need for more
public hitching posts in town. The
permanent and transient population
and teams have SO greatly increased
that on Saturdays the people from
the country can find no place for
their teams.

tracklaying will not be begun for

will be turned on the work be-

NEW CEMETERY NEEDED.
Proposition to Disturb the Dead Fails
to Find Favor.

One Of the problems now con-
fronting this community and call
ing for speedy solution and
settlement is the purchase of a
plot of ground for cemetery pur-
poses. The present burial ground
is already ovcrcrowded to such an
extent that in digging graves for the
last two burials the diggers exposed
graves already occupied. We un-
derstand further, that the trustees
OF the Grangeville Improvement
association, which owns the present
site. are averse to any more burials
taking place on their property.
We may as well say right here
that we are not in sympathy with
the proposition to exhume the re-
mains of those who now lie buried
in our little pioneer cemetery.
Those who have no personal inter-
est in that spot Of ground beyond a
financial interest cannot sympa-
thise with those to whom it is rem
dered sacred because it contains
the dust of loved departed ones.
We realize to the full that in this
sordid age the commercial and
financial feature predominates in
almost all transactions, but we
have not yet in this section reached
the stage where it can ride rough
shod over the tenderest sympathies
OF our common humanity; and any
proposition looking to the desecra-
ton of our little cemetery is bound
to evoke determined opposition on
the part of those who have vested
interests there.
The talk that the cemetery should
be vacated and the bodies exhumed
and buried elsewhere for sanitary
reasons is not we'll founded. The
experience of the older centers of
civilization in the largest cities of
the Atlantic seaboard proves con-
clusively that cemeteries exist in
the very heart of the most densely
populated thoroughfares without
in the least impairing the sanitary
conditions of the locality or OF the
community. Philadelphia is a case
in point. The city is noted for its
good health and almost perfect sau-
itary condition. Yet on Arch
street, Chestnut street and other
principal streets in the very heart
of the business center occur at in
tervals small enclosures containing
the ashes of those who founded the
city and helped to make it great.
These hallowed spots are made
beautiful and attractive. They are
favorite resort for the population
of the city, and their influence is
decidedly elevating.
How pure in heart and sound in head,
With what divine affection bold,
Should be the man whose thoughts would
An hours communion with the dead.p
There is no reason why Grange
vile should not emulate this course
and make our little graveyard on
the hill a pleasant feature of the
town, instead of hunting like van
dals for the ashes of our dead.
And even if the attempt were
made not one-half the remains
would be found, for more than half
the surface marks of existing graves
are entirely obliterated.
With our system of water works
the idea of the cemetery contamin-
ating our water supply is now an
argument of the past. Give us a
new cemetery by all means, but let
the dead rest in peace.

SURVEY TO BUFFALO HUMP
O. r. & N. Co. Asks Permission
to Enter Forest Reserve.

Under date Of May 2, the Ore
gonian prints the following tele-
gram from Washington:
ssThe president Of the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company
has asked for permission to extend
the surveyed line from Mt. Idaho
to Buffalo Hump, in Idaho. A
large portion of this distance is in
the Bitter Root forest reserve.
The commissioner of the general
land Office recommends to the Sec
rectary that the. survey be made,
but holds that under the law no
construction work can be permitted
until after the survey is favorably
passed upon"

How Oneansfown Got Its Name.

1t had long been, says the royal
biographer, the wish of the Queen
and Prince Consort to visit Ireland,
and it = As hoped that the sympathy
of the sovereign, marked by her
presence among her suffering sub
iects might have cheering influence.
In August, 1919, the Queen and
Prince, with their four children, hav-
ing embarked at Cowes, laaded at
the Cove Of Cork. At the moment
when the Queen stepped for the first
time Cd the Irish shore the sun burst
in splendor from the clouds, and to a
deputation of the townsnen her majesty
communicated her pleasure that the
town of Cove in commemoration OF
her visit, should henceforth bear the
name OF Queenstown. The reception
of the royal party was most enthusiasts
tic. In her journal her majesty wrote;
"The beauty of the women is very
remarkable, and struck us much
such beautiful dark eyes and hair,
and such fine teeth; almost every
third woman was pretty. and some re-

as he opened the door and came in
upon Blank writing away aud scratch
ing his head for ideas. What you
doing? Writing poetry"
"Nope; writing to my sister.
Promised her faithfully I'd write to
her and she's been gone now three
weeks"
The next morning Jones met Blank
III the street and remarked on the dis
vusted look the latter wore.
whats the matter, Billy? Any
thing wrong?"
"Matter enough" returned the
other. "You saw me writing to my
sister last night? Well, 1 stayed
up until IL o'clock and wrote her
the longest letter ever wrote in my
life. Then I walked way over to the
postoffice and put it in the box. When

Armored Express Cara.

General Passenger Agent Heafford,
Of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul, received a letter the other day
from Charles Shanafelt, Of Lawrence,
Kan, describing d contrivance he
has invented for the purpose OF pro-
tecting express cars against train
robbers. The apparatus consists OF
revolving turret set in the middle
Of the express car and provided with
loopholes through which the guards
can operate Winchesters, Calling
guns, or any other form OF artillery.
The turret is supposed to be con-
structed Of armor-plate steel, and is
so arranged that band of train rob-
bers could be annihilated with one
broadside.
