Will Build to Payette Lakes.


y The announcement has been made
that as the ranchmen in the valley
have provided the right of way the
Idaho Northern Railroad which is at
present working on an extension
from Emmett to Smiths Ferry, will
not stop there but construction work
will be rushed rapidly on a line from
Emmett TO Payette Lakes. The word
is given out that the work will be
turned over to construction contract
ors at once and that every effort will
be made TO have the road in operatioz
by next year. With this announce
ment also comes another that the
p. l. n. railroad with its present ter
minus at New Meadows will be ex-
tended down Long Valley to the
Payette Lakes. This would all seem
to mean that the great productive
grain region in and around Long
Valley is about to be tap. ,ed and
means great deal TO this section Of
Idaho

With a large force of men contin-
ually on the jump trying to get out
sufficient brick to fill back orders
/ the brick plant of VIM. Sherwood
east Of the city on Payette Heights
is indeed busy place. At present
the force of men consists OF thir-
teen the installing of modern ma
ehinery and more up-to-date methods
having enabled Mr. Sherwood to
cut down the force a little and
still make more brick.
For the last few weeks the force
has been turning cut 1880 brick
per day and they have all been sold
almost as fast as they could be de-
livered. The big building in course
OF construction by the Payette Cold
Storage Company taking $50 900 Of
them and the balance going to the
nearby outside towns where Sher-
woods building brick have long ago
made for themselves a creditable rep
utation.
The factory began work in April
and will continue until October and
longer II weather conditions will
permit and the proprietor hopes to
make and sell million and half
Of brick this season.
For twenty years VIII Sherwood
has been making brick in Payette
first starting with a small, insignifi-
cant plant, but today it can be reck-
oned as one of the real substantial
industries in Payette. The machin-
cry is all Of the latest type and the
power used is electric. A large
twenty horse power motor runs the
big crusher and moulding machine
where the brick are first made
while a seven and a half horse pow
er runs the new forced draught
blower that furnishes a better and
hotter fire for the big kilns when
they are fired up
Year by year the brick plant has
grown until those who have not been
accustomed to visiting it would be
surprised at the magnitude OF op-
erations being carried on there.
When the factory first starts in |
April until the close of the season
when it is possible to make brick
the weekly pay roll runs from $3.50
to $500 per week, a considerable sum
when one stops to consider hat it
wages paid to families
that live in Payette and that buy
their clothing and groceries here. 1t
is small industries that employ lab
orers that help greatly in building
up cities and Payette would be all
the better off for a dozen more man
ufacturing plants like the Sherwod
brick yard

new ROAD LAW
Provides for the Creation of High
way Districts.
SEVERAL TO Be CREATED
Means Better Roads for Thiclly
Settled Communities.

Through a bill passed by the last
legislature, known as the "highway
road law" provisions were made for
the creation of road districts by the
communities and the taking of the
matter entirely out of the hands of the
county commissioners and giving to
the people Of the districts created the
power to look after their own road
affairs.
The law, among other things, pro-
vides that where fifty or more tax
payers Of district of not less than
twenty thousand acres of contiguous
territory petition the commissioners
for the calling of an election to deter
mine whether or not district shall be
created, the commissioners shall call
such an election and If a majority of
the voters Of the proposed district vote
tor it's formation the same shall be
created and thereafter the roads of
that district shall be under the super
vision Of board of three, the first
board to be appointed by the COVER
nor and at the expiration of their
term future directors shall be elected.
The law provides that 95 per cent
of the monies collected from the said
district for the general road fund shall
be paid over to the board and this
board shall also have the power to
make special road levies, let contracts
for road work and have the entire su-
pervision Of all roads and road matters
in the district. 1t is proposed by the
people of the west side to create three
or four districts, Salmon river people
are contemplating such move as are
also the people Of the Clearwater Sec
tion.
Where adopted the plan will keep
the money paid for roads in the dis
trict and will be the means Of giving
some sections some mighty good roads
but may work. hardship on the
mountain people. However, if the
prairie and thickly settled sections
adopt the plan the forest reserve money
will be an ample fund to keep the
mountains in shape.
Auditor Bradbury has number of
copies of the law which he will be glad
to give to those interested. As the
supply is rather limited those who
desire further knowledge on the law
should apply early to the auditor.

Grabbed Stove Peddlers.

Several weeks ago a number of
stove peddlers invaded the country
around Grangeville and succeeded in
unloading 67 steel ranges. Last week
these ranges arrived and Assessor
Nash dropped down Saturday and
held the same for taxes. As these
people are doing business in Idaho
county it is only right that they
should pay their share of the tax
necessary to keep going the little
red school house, build the roads and
bridges and pay other expenses. Of
course there was the usual howl and
although Nash is little he has some
we'll pronounced convictions and no
line Of talk, bluff or argument will
make him recede As result of his
visit the stove peddlers paid $1O5
into the Idaho county treasury.

Odd Fellows and Rebekahs Enjoy
Hospitality Of Nezperce.
AT TOWN OF SITES NEXT YEAR
Whitebird Rebekahs and Grange
vile Odd Fellows Excel.

The district convention of Idaho
and Lewis county Odd Fellows and
Rebekahs came to a close last Satur.
day night after two days of most in
teresting deliberations. This year s
session was held at Nezperce, the
county seat Of the new Lewis county,
and as usual that city did itself proud
in the way Of hospitality to- the visi-
tors. The lodges belonging to this
district include besides Idaho and
Lewis county orders, several from the
towns in Clearwater county, there
being close to two hundred delegates
in attendance.
Friday, in a competitive drill by
the degree staffs Of the various Rebek-
abs lodges, Whitebird was awarded
the first place. 1t is said the work
by the Grangeville degree staff was of
a high order but that the Whitebird
ladies excelled in the ritualistic work,
and was awarded the silk banner. A
game of ball between l. o. o. F.
teams from Idaho county and Lewis
county, Friday, drew a good crowd
and was won by the Idaho county
members by score of 8 to Z. Friday
nights work was closed with a BAN
quet rendered the visitors by the
citizens Of Nezperce.
Saturday was given over to lodge
work, among other things the elec-
ton Of officers taking place and the
meeting place for next year selected.
The convention next year will be
held on the third Friday and Satur-
day Of June and at the town Of Sites.
The following are the officers elected
for the coming year:
President-C. j. johnson, Kamiah.
Vice president-W. A. Newman,
Whitebird.
Secretary. A. Seabury, Sites.

Saturday night competitive work
by the degree stafis of Nezperce,
Kamiah and Grangeville was put on
and the prize, a fifty dollar silk ban
ner, won by the Grangeville staff,
they exemplifying the work Of the
initiatory degree. Heretofore it has
been the custom to give prize Of
fifty dollars, which was won last year
BY Grangeville, but this year ban
ner was selected which is to become
the property Of any lodge which wins
it twice in succession.

State Horticultural Inspector Here
This Week.
MUCH cAB IN ORCHARDS
Law Will be Enforced and Disease
Stamped Out.

State Horticultural Inspector j. U.
Mcpherson, in company with Henry
Murry, deputy inspector for Idaho,
Lewis and Clearwater counties, was
in Grangeville and Idaho county
early this week going over the terri
tory with the local deputy. Mr..
Mcpherson states that he finds the
fruit trees fairly free from disease with
the exception of the apple trees on the
Prairie which are badly infected with
scab. But one orchard was found
with scale. The codling moth has
also taken up its abode in Idaho
county orchards and considerable of
the shrubbery is infected with aphos.
The inspector states that while it
is not the desire Of the department to
work any hardships upon the people,
the laws in regard to spraying and
the destruction of diseases and pests
must be adhered to. Some have been
a little negligent in the matter and
paid no heed to the orders of the
local inspector. The head of the de-
partment states that if they continue
to ignore these orders some arrests
will follow. Fifteen arrests have been
made of parties in various parts Of the
state and conviction secured in every
instance. Mr.. Mcpherson states that
while we may not be raising fruit in a
commercial way in Idaho county at
the present time the day is not far
distant when such will be the case and
it is proposed to keep Idaho county
free from tree diseases.
Heretofore the laws in this regard
have been fiagrantly ignored and
Idaho has been the dumping ground
Of all kinds Of diseased trees. This
spring saw change and every ship
ment Of trees and shrubbery had to
pass inspection or be destroyed. Over
100000 trees were inspected and
about five per cent condemned. The
inspector, while young man, is ripe
in experience in horticulture and is
head OF that department Of the state
fair. He is making an effort to Sc
cure fruit exhibit from each county
for the fair and the entire exhibit
will be taken to the land shows in the
east, thus affording fine opportunity
to advertise the counties of the state.
Mr.. Mcpherson seems well pleased
with the work Of Deputy Murry and
stated the people need not feel i'll
towards him fhe is compelled to take
drastic steps to enforce the law as it
duty he as an officer must perform.

Asks for Sunday Permit.

Petitions have been circulated this
week by the management of the Lyric
theater, Grangeville's moving picture
show, asking the council to grant the
theater permission to give shows ON
Sunday. Over majority of the
voters have signed the same and it
will be presented at the next meeting
OF the city council.
A number Of cities in the state are
granting permits for the operation of
picture shows on Sunday and there
cannot be a serious objection to the
same, at least SO think majority Of
the voters in the city. The law pro-
vides that where majority Of the
voters OF city petition for the OPEN
ing Of q picture show the council may
grant the privilege.

Tired of Van Vert.

The Spokesman Review in its issue
of Saturday said:
"Ten bootlegging cases before the
federal court in which the evidence
was collected by Moses Phillips, an
Indian, an Everett Van Wert a
special agent, under indictment by an
Iowa grand jury, were dismissed yes
terday by Federal Judge Frank H.
Rudkin. This action was necessary
because the juries showed an inclina-
ton to acquit all on trial in which
these two had part"
Rev. Van Vert is the preacher
detective who was conspicuous in the
Nez Perce county local option cases
last winter and who was the star wit
ness for the state.

For the Tourist.

As place of scenic beauty, quiet
spot far from the busy whir Of the
wheels Of trade, place where at
night time one may be waited away
in the arms Of morpheus, Idaho coun-
ty with her foothills and mountains,
trout streams and shady hooks, is the
mecca of the tired and weary city
man. No where in the west is more
offered to the tourists and the seeker
after q cool climate. And where is
there . place more accessible? Good
train service to Grangeville, the ter
minus OF the railway, and in but q few
hours ride one may lose himself in
the wild tangles Of nature. Or if you
wish, remain the city, there is trout
fishing within the corporation limits,
dozens of the speckled beauties having
been taken from Three Mile creek, the
dashing little mountain stream which
bounds and leaps from the foothills
through the city.

Look Out for Wallace.

State Sanitary Inspector Wallace
is going to drop into this town some
Of these fine days and it might be
pretty good plan for those who have
not connected with the sewer to do 90
before the inspector arrives as he has
the reputation Of being a mighty
strenuous official. The city has built
sewer system and no doubt the in
spector will insist that the sewerage
be disposed Of through the system and
not in the streams or on the streets.

The Nezperce team came to Ilo-

On Thursday Of last week q deed
was filed for record by VIM. Mulhall
Of Denver conveying the title to 47O
acres Of land, part Of the large
tract which he owns over there, to

paid was $30,566, making this one Of
the largest land sales in Idaho county
for some time Mulhall's land is stu
ated in the cream Of the wheat belt Of
Idaho county and is we'll worth the
figure paid.
