OF Interest to the People.


An expedition which should be
of much interest to the people of
Idaho is the proposed Congress
sional -junket which will visit the
state during the month of August
to look into the much debated
question of National Forest res
boundaries. The most frequent
complaint against the National
Forest administration has been
that lands were administered
which not forrested, and that Oy
such inclusion in the Forest un-
Just grazing fees have been levied
and land which otherwise would
be settled have been withdrawn.
Some opponents of the Forest
Service have gone so far as to
saw that one half or more of the
area withdrawn as National For
est not naturally forest land. To
settle the matter at first hand,
therefore, party consisting OF
Senator Borah, Secretary Wilson
Secretary Ballinger, Senator
Dolliver of Iowa, and possibly
other members OF Congress will
come to see for themselves. II
is not known whether this party
will visit this section, but it is
very probable that the boundar
les OF the Challis National Forest
will be considered in this connec
ton during the coming summer
The whole matter is now before
the people, if they wish elimin
ations from the Forest, addition
to them or to allow them to re
| main as they are. they shoul'
: lose no time in pertirioning thei
+ Senators and Congressman witt
an expression of their views. Con
. gress is very likely to take what
ever action on the subject tina
I the people chiefly interested de
| man0

Custer and Vicinity.

The first wheels out Of Custer
left May 3rd.this spring. While
there is some bare ground along
the roads and on the south ex-
posures of the hills, the greatest
amount of snow on and near the
SUBMITS still remain unmelted.
Mr.. W. A. Ellis of Sunbeam
while hauling provisions up Jor-
dan creek was badly injured by
being kicked by a horse. DR..
Kirtley of Custer attended to the
injuries and put several stitches
in the wound made by the hors-
e's shoe. 1t is reported that Mr..
Ellis up and doing well. 1t was
very fortunate that no bones
were broken.
The total precipitation for the
month of April at Bonanza as
measured by the Bonanza wealth
er observatory was only 10 inch
es. This is very much below
normal for this district.
John H. Hickey's liquor licen-
Sc expired on May 1st, and he
has closed up the saloon and
left for Mackay on vacation.
Since X. Mckenzie of Custer and
Mrs. LaSalle of Sunbeam have
also closed, and there only re-
mains two saloons open for bust
ness in this district, w. H. Caste
of Custer and Mr.. Miller of Sun
beam.

COUNTY BONDS.

In it's last issue the Miner is
opposed to bonds for improving
roads and bridges in Custer
county, for the reason that this
end of the county wants the big
end of the bonds, and always has
had the lions share. That last
statement is not absolutely true.
The west end of Custer county
has three times as much terri
tory as Lost River, and is very
mountainous country and it costs
considerable more to build and
maintain roads in the up-river
section than on Lost river. Then
again, we have an idea that it
costs more to bridge Salmon riv
er than Lost river.
That paper is afraid that this
end of the county is be benefited
too much, and goes on to state
that Dist. l wants S28,5O0, which
includes $4,000 for wagon
road to Loon creek; District No.
2 wants S14, 1000, and Dist. No. 3
THE Lost river district-Only
asks for $4,000. The Miner is
willing to allow the bonds to go
through on these terms-Dist.
No. can have 1000, Dist. No.
9, $4,000 and Dist. No. 3, IS, 900.
He says that is the terms, or else
the bond issue is off. 1t is very
essential to build the Loon creek
road, if not, probably it will be
built from Salmon City to con-
meet with the railroad at that
point. The Loon creek road in
few years will pay back the
county five dollars for every dol
| lar invested in it. But we new
er have thought the bonds could
be carried if a two-thirds vote is
,, required, and much less if one
district which was supposed tC
be in favor of bonds is selfish fol
fear that another district will gel
.. more than their share. We no
= tice that the Miner claims tina
g this district wants $4,000 for ;
: bridge across Pahsamaroi river
0 That probably is not so, for
: would not take half that sum
