ters with Supervisor Grandjean, saws
the Capital News.
He has been spending the summer
looking over the work done in the re-
serves of the west and states that
nearly 100000 has been spent in max
ing permanent improvements such as
trails, roads, telephone lines, pasture
| fences, etc, and at present there have
been constructed 2,400 miles of tele-
phone lines, $500 miles of trail. 200
miles of wagon road. 400 miles of fence
and have about $50 cabins completed
or nearly so.
In Idaho, he states, the reserves
would spend $4,000 in improvements
which would be more than any other
state in the Union received, with the
exception of Montana, which would re-
ceive about the same amount, and Cal
ifornia. which would get $4,000 more.
OF this amount $4,000 would be spent
in the Sawtooth reserve and about S.
900 in the Payette reserve. The re-
serve has already donated $4,000 for
improving the road between Twin
Springs and Atlanta and gave $3.50 to-
ward repairing the road between
Meadows and Payette lakes An aver
age of 1920 miles of trail has been
built in the Sawtooth reserve and
about 40 miles in the Payette reserve.
Next year, he said, the telephone line
which IS now in construct on to Allan
ia would be extended to Stanley down
to Lowman and to Idaho City, making
a complete circuit of over 200 miles
and putting the head office in connec-
ton with several forest ranger head
quarters
In the Occur d'Alene section, work
is being pushed, he stated, and a great
deal of new country is being opened
up with trails and up to date they have
26O miles completed and are building
fine trail on the state line between
Idaho and Montana and win spend

the trouble-the feeding the fuel into

plan he evolved: Instead Of passing
the coal into the furnace in the old
fashioned way he fed it in pulverized
form into a happer whence 1t passed
by air pressure through two wrought
iron pipes into the furnace. Combus-
ton instantly took place and the coal

is reduced by 60 to 70 per cent.
