The wagon road to ~
Hump via Adams camp M
completed at once. This \ VM
verdict rendered by the
vile board of trade at the
evening meeting, Not onlH
the road be pushed through
it's present terminus
Moore's camp to the Hump,
soon as that is completed

to do away with the steep
of Gospel Hill and shorte
route three miles, thus br
Grangeville within AZ miles
Hump, just a good days ride
A number of improvement
also be made between herr
Adams camp in the way Of
ing the sharpest pitches. Al
wagon road suitable for the
est traffic must be opened4 h
maintained between Grand3
and Buffalo Hump and al
responsibility OF doing this de{
largely upon the business NJ
Grangeville, and the mining:
of Buffalo Hump, the boa'
trade felt it was the duty Of
organization to take the matt
hand. 1t was the spirit o.
meeting that an effort shoul
made to raise the sum of $4OO
subscription and Geo. K.
H. E. Heppner and Frank B
were named as q soliciting
mittee to raise the amonnt
report at a special meeting Q
board of trade to be called q
carly day. 1t is believed
this amount will put the

the other above mentioned
provements. At the next mt
the matter of selecting . co
ent man to take charge @
work will be settled, and &
representation of business N
requested. It is to be hoped
everyone will appreciate tn
portance Of the wagon 70,
general and it's relations to Gl
Vile and respond to the call
soliciting committee in as lib
way as possible. The time
arrived when quick acti
necessary. Another Z
