Many new corners who are
spending their first winter in Idaho
express themselves as delighted
with the climate. So far the
thermometer has at no time regis
tered lower than seven degrees
above zero and only reached that
point once. The bad roads are the
greatest draw back to the comfort
of the people in central Idaho.

More Road Suggestions.

Now that the season OF the year
is approaching when our roads will
become in some places almost i'm
passable, and throughout the state
in general the people are awaken
to the fact that with better roads
more work in the way OF hauling
could be done with less horse-fesh,
and less horse flesh means less feed
bills and less money invested in
horse-hesh, why would it
not be good idea for the people
along some particular road that is
much travelled take up the propo-
sition of building piece OF road
BY popular subscription. Say for
instance the road between here and
the mountain over which all of
our fuel comes, and when the
roads are bad this is one Of the
worst pieces Of road in the county.
Would it not be good idea for
the city Of Grangeville to loan
without charge the rock-crusher
to the people for the pur-
pose of crushing sufficient rock to
pave that road from the mountains
to the city limits; then it will be
our prediction that after seeing
, the good results the road from the
south city limits would soon be
paved by the city. Let us stop to
consider what it would mean te
the residents Of the city at large
We think that it would reduce the
price of wood $1.OO per cord Il
the residents of the city and tina
would mean a saving of severa
;. thousand dollars each and ever.
