Help To Build the Road.

In another column of this issue of
Mining News appears an editorial on
road repairing, or, rather, road history,
in Idaho county, taken from the last
issue of the Grangeville Free Press.
The editorial is inspired from CORE
spondence the executive committee of
the Elk City Good Roads league has had
with business men and the Get-Together
club in Grangeville, and similar to
the campaign that is being carried on
with other gateway points to raise a
sum of money equal to the state appro-
priation that is to be expended for the
Improvement, this summer, of the Elk
City wagon road.
The Free Press editorial deals with
historical facts on which there doubtless
will be difference of opinion, as has been
heard expressed already, but there is
no lack of grateful feeling over this
way for Grangeville for the aid it has
given in the past, and certainly there
will be none in the future if the advise
the Free Press gives the business men
of the county seat is acted upon in the
proper manner. The editor of Mining
News has no way of knowing as to the
genuineness of the data set forth by the
Free Press, but we can assure the
brother, with the assurance backed by
the bright prospect of the new prosper
ity that is now at hand in the mining
districts in central Idaho, that the
money expended on the roads in the
past were investments which in a short
time will yield big returns for all Idaho
That was the idea that carried the ap
preparation bill through the legislator,
last winter, donating $40, 600 with which
to improve the wagon road to this dis
trict. And it was the idea of a goo'
investment in Governor Gooding'
mind when he affixed his signature AM
made the bill law, after he had vetoe'
all but one of the road and bridge ap
preparation bills passed by the legisla
ture.

last week soliciting the assistance of
Grangeville business men toward fe-
pairing the Elk City wagon road recalls
the fact that in earlier days before the
advent of the railroad, Grangeville was
always a willing helper in matters of
this kind. The appropriation for build
ing state wagon road from Riebold's
to Elk City, was introduced and lobbied
through the legislature by Grangeville
citizens, and when it was found that the
appropriation would only build road as
far as Newsome creek, Grangevllle
business men got together and com
pleted the road from Newsome to the
Thirty-Mile tree, distance of II miles,
The gap OF ten miles from the Thirty
Mile tree to Elk City was also aided by
Grangeville business men; there not be-
ing sufficient population in the camp to
complete it unaided. Grangeville bust
ness men also built the first wagon road
from Elk City to Relief creek, which
was later improved and extended to the
Badger mine, and finally completed into
Buffalo Hump. Grangeville money also
built the wagon road into Salmon river,
the wagon road into Buffalo Hump, and
many other similar enterprises.
With the completion of the Culdesac
railroad into growing Grangeville it is
certain that a largo portion of the
mountain trade which of late years has
been diverted elsewhere will be again
tributary to this city, and in view of
this fact it is important that our busiz
ness men contribute as literally as they
feel able towards the maintenance of
all highways leading to the mines in the
mountain ranges. Liberality in this re-
spect is feature which has paid our
business men big dividends in the past,
and it's as sure as daylight that history
will repeat itself under like circum-
| stances.

Since the two-cent fare bills were
passed last winter by the legislatures in
several of tie middle west states, the
Western Passenger association has been
demonstrating to the dear public that
in their case there is more than one
mean by which the end can be reached.
Latest announcement from headquart-
ers in Chicago is that no reduced rate
will be granted for state, district or
county fairs, chautauquas and similar
public gatherings. Will the railway
companies ever see what is sure to re-
suit if they persist in their methods of
retaliation. Government ownership is
an untravelled road that the wisest hest
tate to take, but it may yet be accepted
as a last resort.

BORROWING TROUBLE.


Now, the very worst thing that might
happen, you know,
Are the things that don't happen at
ALL
We fidget and worry, lamepting and
sorry,
In the grasp of expectancy's thrall.
Apprehensive forebodings cucumber our
souls,
Depression weighs down like PAIL
So we wear a long face with very
poor grace
And then nothing happens at all.
When we prophecy storms it is sure
to clear off,
When our moneys gone, something
comes in
And the thoughts of those bills that
have given us chills
Every month shouldn't make us
grow thin
For they fly down the past like the
leaves on the blast,
We settle up, somehow, and why
Do we bother and fret over what we
forget
Before many days have passed by?
We were not carried off by that ter
rible cough,
And in fact, 'twasn't much, come tc
think
All our pains and our aches and oul
dreadful mistakes,
Why, they, too, have slid over the
brink
Of the gulf that forgets; yet we still
wiring our hands,
Predicting some ruinous fall.
Approaching disaster we hail as oul
master
And then nothing happens at all.

FELL INTO DEEP QUARRY PIT
Barre Man Escaped with Bruises and
Broken Arm.

Barre, Nov. 22.-John Boala fell
forty-three feet head foremost at the
quarry of Maclver & Mathieson yes
terday. He was walking on the edge
of the quarry when he slipped on
some ice and plunged to the bottom
of the quarry. He was unconscious
when men went to his rescue but
they saw that he was not dead and a
doctor who was at once summoned
found the mans worst injury to be a
badly broken arm. His face and body
were bruised
That the man was not killed is
probably due to the fact that there
was about three inches of water in
the bottom of the quarry where he
struck, there being a thin coating of
ice over it. Boala is 30 years old
and has family residing in East
Barre. He is employed as head der.
hickman.

HALsEY ATTACKS VALIDITY OF
INDICTMENT
UNITED RAILROADS OFFICIALS
TO FOLLOW SUIT
Base Their Action on Cases of Car
Strike Rioters-Take the Mat
ter to the Supreme
Court
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 2.-The ques-
ton of the validity of the many score
of indictments returned recently by the
oliver grand jury has at last been sub
mitted to the supreme court of California.
Theodore v. Halsey, the Outside man
of the Pacific States Telephone company
now on trial on a charge of bribing Su-
pervisor Lonergan, filed petition yes
terday with the supreme court, appealing
to that body for writ of prohibition
restraining the superior court and Judge
Frank H. Dunno from trying his case.
A similar application for a writ of pro-
hibition against Judge Carroll Cook was
filed on behalf of one of the six carmen
indicted June 26 by the grand jury on
charges of felony alleged to have been
committed in a street car riot. This de-
cision will apply to all six cases.
The attorneys for the indicted officials
of the United Railroads also appeared
in the chambers of the supreme court
yesterday after the filing of the Halsey
petition and announced their intention
of filing similar briefs.
The petitioners in praying for the writ
rely largely upon the opinion given re-
Gently by Judge Cook on a motion to
quash the indictments in the cases of
the strike rioters. In his opinion Judge
Cook held that the acts of the grand
Jury since the new grand jury panel was
drawn In February last are null and void.
Judge Cook refused at the same time
to set aside the indictments, suggesting
that the whole question be passed up to
the supreme court. This question is now
before the body and the indicted ones do
not desire their trials to proceed until
decision Is rendered.

Special to The Herald.
SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 1--WE may
logically look forward to a conflict for
the supremacy of the Pacific ocean. 1t
is not to be supposed that our nation
would consider the possibility of a foreign
power being in control"
Admiral d. H. McCalla, u. s. N, re-
tired, makes this statement in preface
to an appeal to California's congressional
representatives to secure the first step to-
ward the construction of a breakwater
at Santa Barbara, issued today by the
local chamber of commerce.
The sentiment is embodied to preface
in the document discussing the naval
aspect of the harbor The letter. adj
Congressman Smith, asks that federal aid
be secured for the project, and requests
that the preliminary investigation of its
feasibility be made at once.
The strategic Importance of the harbor
as a naval station and especially in time
of war is pointed out, and the undefended
state of our coast is mentioned. The ease
with which an enemy could occupy the
harbor and Channel islands is illustrated
with examples the occupation of Guam
tanamo, near Santiago, during the Span
ish war, and the taking of Elliott island
by Admiral Togo during the selge of
Port Arthur, being named.
The value of the position in time of
peace especially as safe harbor for
commerce after the completion of the
Panama canal, is also urged as a reason
for the undertaking of the work.
