DAHo's PUBLIC ROADS.
Official Government Report Shows
More Than 10, 300 Miles If
Highway.

A Washington dispatch says that
a report just issued by Logan W..
Page, director of the Office of Pub
lie Roads, Department of Agricul-
ture, shows 1S, 1000 miles of public
road in the state of Idaho. OF this
mileage, 1876 were surfaced
with gravel and II miles with stone,
making in all 212 miles of improved
road. 1t will be seen from these
figures that aboat l.2 per cent of
the roads have been improved. By
comparing the total road mileage
with the area of the state it appears
that there was O.2 of mile Of pub
lie road per square mile of area. A
comparison of mileage with popula-
tlon shows that there was | mile of
road to every 8 inhabitants and
mile of improved road to every 663
inhabitants.
The rate Of taxation for road pur-
poses is fixed by the boards Of coun
ty commissioners. This tax must
not be less than 10 nor more than
so cents on each 800 worth of tax
able property. This tax may be
worked out.
Every male inhabitant over 81
and under so years of age is re-
quired to perform two days labor
annually on the public roads or pay
to the overseer a Communication tax
of 81, or such smaller sum as the
board of county commissioners may
fix.
The amount derived from the
property tax and devoted to road
improvements was $40. .e75.85 in
1904. BY comparing the total ex
penditure with the total mileage OF
public road and with the population
of the state, it is found that the
funds collected and expended fol-
road purposes amounted to $3.7s
per mile of public road, or 81. II
per inhabitant.

who viii finish this year are former
students of several eastern and
western schools. This fact alone
speaks high praise for the school.
The lectures combined with the
practical experiments, including sam
pling, crushing ore, assaying gold,
silver and lead, chemical tests of
important metals, wet assaying, ETC.,
thoroughly equip mining student
taking a four years course. This
course is constantly adjusted to meet
the changing conditions in the min
ing industry.
The new equipment which will be
installed IN these two new buildings
will give the mining student prac-
tical knowledge of the work he is
expected to do npon leaving school
and entering the mines. In the
past the student completed his
course under adverse conditions;
now when he steps forth to seek his
livelihood in the great mining fields,
he will know the "whys" and
"wherefores"-he has had practical
experience. Moscow Journal.

Development Work Begun on Copper
King and Other Properties
Gypsum Deposit Discov-
cred near Town.

James Lindsay received the con-
tract for the work outlined on the
Copper King company's ground in
the copper belt, and Tuesday he
loaded up a wagon with supplies
and taking crew of men went up
to the property. Jim will be there
the greater part of the winter, as the
company is in position TO have
considerable more work done than
they at first anticipated. Their
treasury is in good shape and as
long as the money holds out they
will push development work on
their properties, which includes FIVE
claims. Considerable stock IN this
company has recently changed
hands, probably owing to the fine
showing being made IN the Bonne-
vile group which lie just south Of
and adjoining the Copper King
ground.
Development work was also start
ed this week on a bunch of claims
in the vicinity of the Copper King
claims, and owned by Messrs. Red
man, Harris, Birch, Hoff and Beck
man. These claims lie to the north
of the Copper King but on the same
lead, and there is good showing
on the work SO far done.
Manager Eastman went to Salt
Lake the latter part Of last week to
look after the shipment of ore sent
down by the Bonneville company.
Owing to the congestion on the rail
way lines the car OF ore was nearly
a week in getting to the smelter.
The Examiner has not learned what
return was had from the shipment.
M. L. DeJulien returned from the
east this week, full of encourage
ment and ready for active develop-
ment on the Bonanza Company's
properties. W hile he is not vet
ready to outline the company's
plans, he did state that capitalists
have been interested and that they
have plenty Of monay to prosecute
work.
Besides the copper and phosphate
industries, which now give promise
of developing into permanent and
paying properties, there are pros
poets of another industry being
added to our list of resources in the
shape of gypsum deposit This
deposit, which was recently dis
covered, ls within six miles of town
and is in location to be easily and
cheaply handled. If it proves to be
an excellent a quality of gypsum as
the locators have reason to believe
1t is, 1t will become a source of
revenue to the city in the way OF
furnishing work for large number
of men. We understand that sever
al eastern capitalists are figuring on
taking hold of the property with
the view of developing it on an ex'
tensive scale. The development ol
this industry would make it possible
to get cement right at home fol
building purposes.

MUST STAND TRIAL
Habeas Corpus Denied Moyef and
Haywood by U. 5. Supreme Court
DECISION RENDERED MONDAY
Court Holds that Method Of Extradition
Was not Material Justice Nc
Kenna DiSsented.

ASuud V1SSSutSVs =.
The United States supreme court
Monday sustained the decisions of
the United States circuit court for
the district Of Idaho, and the state
supreme court of Idaho, denying
application for writ of habeas cor
pus made by Charles H. Meyer,
George A. Pettibone and William
D. Haywood, charged with con-
spiracy to murder the late Governor
Steunenberg, of Idaho.
The effect of the decision will .
to continue to hold the men for trial
in this state.
The decision, which was read by
Justice Harlan, holds that the meth
cd Of extradition was not material.
The merits of the cases were not in
volved, as that phase was not pre-
sented. The only question there
involved was the right Of the state
courts to proceed with the cases, Of
which there could be no doubt.
Announcing his conclusion that
the United States circuit court had
jurisdiction in the habeas corpus
proceeding, Justice Harlan said:
s.Looking first at what was al
legged to have occurred in Colorado,
touching the arrest of the petitioner
and his deportation from that state,
we do not perceive that anything
done there, however hastily or in
considerably done, can be adjudged
to be In violation of the constitution
OF the United States"
lie added that the governor of
that state had not been under COM
pulsion to demand proof beyond
that contained in the extradition
papers. His failure to require inde-
pendent proof of the fact that petl-
TONER was, as alleged, q fugitive
from justice, cannot be regarded as
an infringement of any right Of the
petitioner under the constitution or
laws OF the United States.
He also said that even if there
was fraud in the method of removal
there had been no violation of rights
under the constitution.
After reviewing antecedent de-
cisions he announced tuat the prin.
ciples set forth in them "require an
affirmance of the judgment of the
circuit court" He concluded:
"Any Investigations as to the
motlyes which induced action by
the governors of Idaho and Colo
RADIO would be improper as we'll as
irrelevant to the real question now
to be determined. 1t must be con-
clusiyely presumed that those Of
fcers proceeded throughout this
affair with no evil purpose and with
no other motive than to enforce the
law"
Jnstice McKenna delivered q dis
senting opinion, holding that Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone had right
to invoke the aid of the federal
courts to correct improper methods
used in securing their extradition.
He said that kidnapping under the
law is no more to be justified than
when performed outside the l-w,
where every effort of authority IL
used to prevent and punish it.

path. About four years ago Mr..
Gilbery was afflicted with melan-
cholia from which aff1ictlon he
never recovered. A month ago he
was taken to the Grant county asy-
lum for treatment and care and
there he passed away.

Chicago Firm Says the Knickerbocker
Company Plans to Ruin
Its Business.

Kenosha, Wis, Nov. 17.-Alleging
that men supposed to be in the employ
of the Knickerbocker Ice company
blew up a dam near Camp Lake, the
Getting Bros. Ice company of Chica-
go secured an injunction to prevent the
workmen from digging ditch to con-
meet Camp Lave in this county with
Channel Lake in Illinois.
In the petition for the injunction,
Getting Bros. declare an effort is be-
ing made to drive them out of business
by so lowering the water at Camp
Lake that their property, valued at
$4,000, will be useless for ice houses.
The company also filed suit against
the men alleged to be employed by the
rival ice company for $4,000 and the
abating of the nuisance. 1t is eN-
pected the employees of the two COM
panies will have a pitched battle if
another effort is made to open the
ditch.

A perfect town is that in which
you see the farmer patronizing the
home merchants, the laborers spend
ing the money they earn with their
own tradesmen, and all animated
with spirit that will not purchase
articles abroad if they can be bought
at home. The spirit of reciprocity
between men-the mechanic, trades
man and laborer, farmer and manu-
facturer-results every time in MAX
ing the town a perfect one to do
business in. Perfection" should
always be desired, even where at.
tainment is barely possible, we pre-
sumo, but a perfect town must be
denominated a great rarity until
we reach a more advanced stage
toward the millennium than has yet
been gained.

How to Stop a Chimney Fire.

Here is a simple and easy way Of
stopping a chimney fire, used by
the fire department of the city of
Appleton:
1.-The quickest, sureSt, neatest,
easiest and most effective way to
stop a chimney fire, is to take a
large wet cloth and wind it around
the stove pipe just above the stove.
The moisture from the wet cloth
forms a cloud of steam inside the
pipe which raises and smO6hers the
fire in the chimney almost at once.
This method has proven effective In
the case of chimney fire so fierce
that the stove pipe all the way from
the stove to the chimney was red
hot, and has never been known to
fail. The scheme was worked out
by Fire Chief George P. MCCLELLAN
and Capt. John COnroy OF the No. 1
company from a pointer received
in a casual conversation, and is now
in use in the Appleton fire depart
ment to the exclusion of all other
methods. The chief beauty of the
plan is its simplicity and the ease
with which it can be used by any
one. Simply saturate large cloth
with water, wind it around the
stove pipe at any point where it is
hottie hotter the better-and the
steam generated inside the pipe will
| do the rest.
