Will build the Road,

An enthusiastic meeting of the
Grangeville board of trade Mas
had at the Office of Judge Hart
man on Monday evening at p. IN.
for the purpose Of taking immed
late action on the proposed wagon
road to the Hump via Slate
creek. The report of Surveyor
Wilson, of Walla Walla. who was
employed to survey and estimate
the cost of the road, was rca,i,
accepted and placed cn file. The
report shows that cut off at
Slate creek will bring Adams
camp and Moore's camp within
nine miles of each other on " good
grade ranging from level to ten
per cent. grade, on good ground,
with very little rock W ork or cord
uroy, a good summer road on hard
ground and good winter road in
the canyon, protected by timber
SO that the snow will not drift.
1t was estimated by the board of
trade committee, who accompanied
Mr.. Wilson on his survey, that
the road could be built from
Adams camp to Moore's camp at
~ cost not to exceed $4,000, which
amount has been about subscribed.
The approximate cost of building
the road from Moore's on into the
Hump should not exceed $4,000
An executive committee, con-
sisting of Geo. Smith, Geo. Reed
and Mr.. Heppner, was appointed
to have full power to proceed te
collect all funds subscribed anC
have work on the proposed route
begin Immediately. A committed
consisting of w. w. Brown, f
London and Mayor Wax wcr'
appointed to have an interview
with Charles Sweeney, who was il
town and find out how much h
would subscribe towards the road
He expressed his willingness tt
give $1,000, and further stated iha
it was his desire to see two road
leading to the Hump 30 that on
or the other could be kept passab
through the winter months; tina
owing to his company having sue
a large amount of machiner
awaiting transportation into tn
Aump he would continue the col
struction Of the road from Badge
camp as fast as possible.
