any manner, against the people of
those counties in which the lands lie,
but on the contrary, they are willing
and greatly in favor of such co-opera-
tive Improvements, as can be made,
within the bounds of a reasonable
amount of money expended on trails
and roads which will open up the
resources of mineral and timber lands,
and facilitate the commerce of the
states or counties.
MIR. Mcpherson was also requested
to address the Club, and he gave the
members clear and concise idea of
what the department had done and is
doing in the matter of opening up the
sections of the country now held in
reservation. AT present he and his
forces are engaged in work on the
South Fork trail, and he made plain
the fact that it was of much value to
the taxpayer to have those trails cut
through in every place it was possible
for one to be run. 1t does not matter
where it leads from or to, il is open
ing up the country and adding to the
available resources of the county, and
that means more population, more
business and more wealth, and offers
encouragement for settlers to come to
this part of the country.
Pres. Hattabaugh then called on
Charles A. Parsons, state representa-
tive, who gave the Club short talk
on the work of the Tenth legislature,
insofar as it pertained to the interests
of our county, and the history of the
{ memorial to congress, which asks the
government to give this county
$4,000 with which to construct
wagon roads in the forest reserve in
: the county.
' L. M. Harris was called to the
| front and gave the status of the fund:
, already procured for the South Fork
trail, and an estimate of what is still
p needed in the work at this time. Hi
, efforts to secure sufficient amount tc
D complete the trail were commended
and endorsed by the Club, and shoult
be by every citizen of the county.
4 1t is the desire of the Commercial
p Club to assist the county and every
il one in it. Grangeville is the count!
n seat, and from Grangeville it is righ
: and proper that such movement
should eminate. If her citizens will
: but realize that every dollar that come
# to the country is an added factor t.
e the increased wealth of all; if tn
county at large will look upon the in
g coming investor as capable of judginI
: where he will invest, and all of tn
n people get the habit of boosting TO
p the county, and not for one particula
spot, as against some other, there Wi
e be more chance of each man gettln
# on the prosperity wave which alway
,r follows in the footsteps of harmonlou
i action, than if each trys to get it TO
; themselves, and in the end drives
G from our midst.
Mr.. Kincaid, who is member c
the Lewiston Commercial Club, an
n a live one, too, gave very lnterestIn
description of the methods now beln
~ used by that body to assist the tow
{, and the county to build up and de
N yelop. He stated that they had learne

,e helping themselves. That no ma

could expect to gain by running tn
other; but that he would be the bette
n off, by far, if he would help the oths
