Repairs All Paid.

The rededicatory sermon was
preached in he morning by Rev. Dr.

for his text Psalms 1852, "What

Electric Storm on Prairie.

An electric storm visited this and
other sections of Camas Prairie last
week but did very little damage
with the exception of setting fire to
Joe Sorrows house, striking tele-
phone poles and putting two elec-
trio transformers out of commits
sion. The lightning struck the
electric light company's wires at
Sorrows house and set fire to the
roof and ceiling. The fire alarm
was sounded and was quickly re-
sponded to by the fire department
which soon extinguished the flame +;
most of the damage was from water
and moving the furniture. Fer
tunately no one was in the house
when it was struck, as loss of life
would have resulted.

What About 1t.

There is movement on foot
among the business men of Florence
and the miners Of the Bear Creek
district to construct a wagon road
from a point five and a half miles
below Florence, on the old state
road, east four miles to the Old
Wire Bridge ON the Salmon river
and operating here a ferry, the
object of the movement being to
open up wagon road that would
be accessible the entire year around
to Bear Creek mines.
With q road such as is suggested
freight could be laid down at the
mines from Grangeville for not to
exceed "a cents q pound as against
three cents, the present rate from
the south. The construction of
this four miles of road. would not
be difficult task as considerable uf
the work could be done with plow
and scraper. The people Of Flor
enca stand ready to put in the fer
ry and contributions from the
mining district and the people of
that part Of the county can be
counted upon.
With the completion of this road
Grangeville would have firm grip
on the trade of the district and
miners claim they would be will
ing to put in their supplies in FIVE
and six ton lots. A great deal Of
the freight comes up from the
south during the late summer
months but with q cent rate from
here as against three cents from
the south, and an all winter route
through from Grangeville against a
four months route from the other
way, we ought to be able to handle
all of the business. The PROPOSE.
tion should be looked into and the
columns OF the Free Press are open
to discussion both pro and con.

Prosperous at White Bird.

q. W. Durham OF White Bird,
secretary OF the Idaho County
Live Stock Association, brought
up number OF beef cattle from
his ranch down on the Salmon
Saturday to Messrs. Ingram &
Brust. He says crops never look ed
better and while earlier in the
season there was some doubt as to
the yield the late rains have
brought the grain out in fine shape.
Harvesting will be in full blast
along about July 6. OF the fruit
there will be considerable Of acrop
as the frost did not damage all of
it. The cattle industry is bring
ing in lots OF revenue to the
people Of that vicinity, something
like two.thousand head Of beef
cattle having been sold by the
ranchers during the past four
weeks. Most Of the stock is for
government use, going to an
Indian reservation in North Da-
kotar The next meeting of the
live stock association will be held
at White Bird ON August 3. At
this meeting the advisability OF
OF the association assisting in a
financial way to hold stock show
here this fall will be brought up.
The cattle industry of this county
ranks second with that of any
other in the state and every en-
couragement should be given the
ranchers to improve their stock
and we know OF no better method
than an annual exhibition where
stock may be shown and notes ex-
changed. Now is the time to work
up the feeling.

Good Crops at Green Creek

Good Crops at Green Creek.
M. F. Rogers, one OF the best
known and most prosperous citi-
zens OF the Green Creek country,
was in the city on business the
last of the week. In speaking OF
the crop prospects for that section
of the prairie, Mr.. Rogers en-
ployed the highest words of praise.
While more rain would be appre-
ciated just at present, the grains
are not suffering at all andif the
future crop conditions of the
season may be judged by the past
few months, a banner yield may
be expected. Mr.. Rogers reports
that the Red Rock Telephone COM
pany has been formed in his local
ity recently and the farmers are
enjoying the conveniences of a
modern telephone line. The Red
Rock line connects with the Co.
lumbus line, which extends north
from this city, and messages car

Promising Crop Prospects.

From all parts of the county high
ly encouraging reports that the
late rains have practically made
the crop of growing grains, and at
present the indications are that
the Weld of all kinds Of farm pro-
duce in this county will certainly
exceed the good crop Of last year.
The cold dry back ward weather OF
May and early June greatly re-
tarded the growth, and general
shortage of timothy and spring
grain was apprehended. But the
late rains have made good at a
most opportnne time, and from
present appearances the crop ol
1907 promises to be record break.
er. The fall grain in particular il
very heavy, and SOME fabulous
yields are looked for. The croI
of fruit is coming on pace and
will be something enormous.
Eastern people who are looking fol
lands and homes in a country where
crops never fail, should turn botf
optics towards good old Camal
Prairie.

Game Galore.

M. S. Mason. deputy game war;
den, returned last week from q two
weeks trip to the country between
the Snake and Salmon river from
Pittsburg Landing to Goff. He
reports that entire section alive
with grouse and deer, and fish in
every stream. He saw the deer
grazing in the meadows and grain
fields, and grouse were everywhere,
as many as one hundred or more
were seen at one spring.
Every one he saw took out a
hunting and fishing license. They
seem to be anxious for the preserva-
ton of the game aud observe the
laws made for that purpose strictly
to the letter. He visited and in.
spected the Blue Jacket mine which
is being operated under the man
agement of F. E. Johness.
The ore body is now fourty-si
feet wide and carries satisfactory
values in copper and gold. Three
eight hour shifts are emyloy-
ed and work is progressing rapidly.
A new tunnel will be commenced in
a few days which will tap the ore
body two hundred feet deeper than
the present workings. New build
ings will be elected to accommodate
the incresed force OF miners which
will be employed when the com.
pressor and Burleigh drills are
installed. Mr.. Mason visited
White Bird, Pittsburg Landing
Blue Jacket, Lucille, Goff, higgins
and Pollock and was royaly enter
tanned by the citizens of those en-
terprising places.
