The Crangeville Route.

G. B. Stunenberg, state land
agent, who sold state school lands
in Idaho, Nez Perch, Latah and
Shoshone counties during the first
week in January gives his views on
the best route to Thunder Noun
tain to the Boise Statesman as
follows:
At Wallace, Mr.. Steunenberg
says he found the town dead and
unemployed men walking the
streets. None of the mines are
working a full force of men and
several of the properties are clos ed
down. But er,body there is
talking Thunder Mountain and the
day he left eight men left Wallace
en- route to the new camp, going
in via Grangevile to Warren.
"The Northern Pacific is adver-
Using the Spokane, Lewiston and
Grangeville route to Thunder
Mountain, and many are making
the journey that way from those
points. Others are going in by
Dixie and Elk City. In Wallace,
Moscow, Grangeville, Lewiston
and the entire northwest, there
exists great Thunder Mountain
enthusiasm and every other man
you talk to is going in to the camp
and I am satisfied that hundreds
will make the journey from the
northern section before early
spring.
"rhere is good wagon road
from Grangeville to Warren" con-
tinued Mr.. Steunenberg, "and the
route via Elk City and Dixie is
over part wagon road, but the
largest part of the distance is only
a trail. The railroad company is
getting out literature and maps
showing the route from the Grange
vile point to the camp. The Boise
route is little discussed where
visited and the capital city will
have to display some enterprise if

AID can be handled at trifliDg
cost, owing to the abrupt charac-

sight, they also possessed them
