BACK FROM WARREN,
The Only Route Now Open to Thunder
Mountain is Via GfanSoVille.
ROADS NOW IN GOOD CONDITION
Nine Feet of Snow on Southern
Route and Effort to Re-
open it Abandoned.

Tom Watson and Sam. Elkins
returned last Sunday from the
road breaking trip which they
made over the state road to it's
junction with the Secesh summit
route from Weiser at the instiga-
ton of Grangeville business men.
They made the return trip in three
and one-half days. They report
having left the road wide open and
in splendid condition for any kind
of travel over. the Grangeville-
Warren Gateway.
The much lauded Weiser-C -Coun-
Gil route has been absolutely inn
passable for travel of any kind for
the past month, and is closed as
tight as bottle at the present
time, owing to the snow blockade
on the Secesh summit. The
Weiser people have had big
crew at work for several weeks
trying to shovel off the snow from
that summit SO as to open the road
for snowshoers, but when Watkins
and Elkins left, the summit was
closed tighter than ever, and the
crew had definitely abandoned the
attempt to open it, so that it will
remain closed for some indefinite
time until the snow goes off. But
there are other difliculties--not to
say dangers-attending the travel
over the Secesh summit route, not
the least of which is the high
water over the raging Payette
river, which will be impossible
until July. This wicked and
dangerous stream, full of quick.
sands, has to be forded nine times,
while the Squaw Meadows, the
terror of travellers at all seasons Of
the year, still remains the quag-
mire which it always has been
The plain truth of the matter
remains-that the best, the earliest
and most practicable route into
Thunder Mountain, is now, as il
has been for the past 40 years, the
Grange ville-Warren Gateway
The highest point on thu
Grangevile-Warren Gateway
is Cape Horn, between
Grangevile and Florence. Cape
Horn is 1900 feet lower than the
Big Bald mountain, between Stite'
and Newsome creek, and more
than 1000 feet lower than thu
crossing of Secesh summit. Thes'
are incontrovertible and indisputa
. BILE facts, and no amount OF hurrah
ing about other routes can eve
overcome them.

Review quotes the altitude of the

The upper Missouri river would
prove OF greater benefit to the peo>
pie if its waters could be used in
the reclamation of arid wastes, than
to be permitted to flow in its chan
mel, carrying few thousands OF
tons of merchandise. The same
amount of money spent annually in
maintaining channel for craft, in
its comparatively shallow waters,
would supply the means to have its
waters distributed over vast bodies
of arid land No one knows this
fact better probably than President
Roosevelt
