We kept a close &C
count Of every detail Of the work Of
macadamizing the road in the hope
that our figures might assist other
localities in getting basis on which
to estimate the probable cost. While
the total cost to us was $9O8.5O, it
must be taken into consideration that
a large amount of the crushed rock
had to hauled three miles and halt.
A shorter haul would considerably
decrease the expense on that item"
There is plenty Of rock in this
section with which to macadamize.
also many miles Of bad road, and it
looks as though such plan could be
carried out here to advantage to all
and at lesser cost than the Palouse
farmers found necessary. The city Of
Grangeville has rock crusher and
also steam roller and there is little
doubt but that the same could be pro-
cured by the farmers. Good roads
enhance the value Of farms just
about as rapidly as anything that can
be done.

During the month Of May the post
office department issued an order re-

were handled here; the exact figures
being 80, ,497. Of this amount 33, ,343

Two Idaho County Mining Men
Lose Life at Porcupine.
WE|S AND KING VICTIMS
Presumed Other Members Of Ida.
no County Colony Escaped.

Through forest fire in northern
Ontario last week, the new gold min
ing camp Of Porcupine was FIRE swept
and desolation and ruin left in wake
of the flames. Reports from there
indicate that close to two hundred
people lost their lives and among
that number are several from Idaho
county. Among those are Robert
Weis and VIM. King. Weis will be
remembered as the corpulent mining
engineer who was sent into the Ten
Mile district by New York capitalists
at the time the Harmon Il Morrow
property was under bond to the eastern
syndicate. He was q most competent
man and while here made q number
Of friends. Last year he was trans
ferred by his company to Porcupine
and was in charge Of q mine up there
at the time he lost his life. Shortly
after taking up the management Of
the property in Ontario through his
influence several other mining men
from this section went to the North
land, among them being VIM. King,
who owns considerable mining prop
erty in this section, among other
claims being the King and York mine
in the Ten Mile. At the time of the
fire King was employed by Weis and
it is said lost his life in an attempt to
save that of his employer and his
family. There are several other
Idaho county citizens in the district,
Frank Peck having heavy interests
there which he is personally directing,
and Jack Bringolf and Andy Ander-
son. But the last word received by
friends in this city from the trio was
written from a town thirty miles north
of the fire zone and it is presumed
they escaped.

ing the case to another county will
be seriously opposed.
Makes Good Beer.

"Ambrew" has come to town to
muddle the intellects Of the bibulous
and rack the brains of the lawyers.
"Ambrew' is touted as the concen-
trated extract of malt. 1t is sent out
from Cincinnati in small cans and is
advertised as having conformed to all
pure food laws. A can the size of an
ordinary tumbler will make 10 gal
Ions of beer. All that is necessary is
to add sugar, yeast and water and the
thing is done.
The question, may "Ambrew" be
freely distributed in "dry" territory in
defiance of all local laws and or
dinances? The problem reached the
office Of Attorney General McDougall
yesterday, coming direct from Prose-
cutting Attorney G. W. Suppiger of
Latah county. This official says he
has had the stuff analyzed. He finds
that it contains no alcohol, but he
finds that with the addition Of sugar,
yeast and water, it will make beer.
1t is asserted by those who have
looked into the laws that might be
expected to bear on "Ambrew" that
they have been unable to discover
any decisions covering just such stuff
as Andrew" that it would be equally
a violation of the statutes to sell bar
ley to brewery with the knowledge
that the barley is to be utilized in the
manufacture Of beer.
The whole question, together with a
sample package Of the "Ambrew," has
been submitted to Attorney General
McDougall, and this means naturally
that someone is destined to do some
digging among the law books before a
correct solution is reached. No doubt
the same problem has been up in other
states and the case pursued there will
be looked into with deep interest, not
only by the attorneys but by those
friends of prohibition who will natur.
ally see in "Ambrew' another deadly
enemy to their cause.-Idaho World

Palouse Farmers Have Solution
for Road Problem.
WOULD APPLY HERE
Best Roads in the World be Built
for $500 Mile.

Over in the Palouse section, in the
neighborhood of Pullman. the farmers
are solving the road problem in Q
most practical way. The soil over
there is to great extent similar to
that Of Camas prairie and what would
work out there ought to be applicable
in Idaho county. Three miles Of road
was macadamized there this summer
at cost of 5000 mile.
The entire expense, with the ex-
ception Of the cost of crushing the
rock, which was done by the county
crusher, was borne by the farmers.
Five hundred loads of crushed rock
were required to complete the work,
the macadam being laid eight inches
deep. Twelve days were consumed
in crushing the rock and from twelve
to fifteen teams were required to
haul the rock as fast as it was
crushed. The total cost of macad-
amizing the road trihe less than
mile, was $9O8.5O.
The farmers who worked out all
or part Of their subscription were
paid at the rate of 81 load for man
and team, four and five loads being
hauled by each team every day.
In speaking Of the work, the gen.
tleman having the same in charge
says:
"The farmers are always ready and
willing to subscribe money toward
the Improvement Of the public high
ways. The subscription list for the
road just recently completed had not
been in my hands half day until
the success Of the project was as-
sured. A very significant fact in
connection with the subscriptions for
this road was the large number Of
renters Of farms who willingly sub
scribed cash and labor toward the

a1-Payers Satisfied With Cash
Value Assessment.
But L|TTLE OBJECTION
Board Visits Bridge Site-Proba.
bly, Adjourn Saturday.

The board of county commissioners
concluded its session as board of equal
ization last week and contrary to re-
ports circulated by scheming politicians
had less objections to meet than here
tofore. In fact it was said there was q
smaller number of people before the
board this year than previously. The
assessment Of the local water plant
was reduced from $4,000 to 500, 900
a. was also the assessment on several
pieces of the poorer land. The state
board meets the second Monday in
August and at that meeting Idaho
county will probably be represented by
Assessor Nash and Auditor Bradbury.
The people Of Idaho county approve
of the cash value assessment and are
at least willing that trial of the same
be had before condemnation. The old
hit and miss scheme had its advantage,
especially to the tax dodger and the
money men.
Monday Mr.. Rice and Schiller visit
ed the site of the Salmon river bridge,
near Gof, and inspected the work on
the approaches, contract for which was
let to c. A. johnson, and is now COM
pleted. The cement for the bridge
has arrived over the "Pin" road and
is now at the Meadows. The steel
and the other material will be assem-
bled on the ground as it is needed.
The remainder of the week will be put
in by the board going over the claim
list and looking after sundry matters.
Adjournment will perhaps occur on
Saturday.

Operate Three Combines.

There was unloaded at Fem this
week a gasoline combine harvester by
the Holt Mfg. Co., who have sold the
same to Wren Il Greenow, the rail
road contractors who own 1000
acre wheat farm over that way. This
is the first machine of this kind to be
used in Idaho county, heretofore all
combines not only being drawn with
horses but the power for the machin-
cry was the same. The power neces-
sary to operate this machine is gener-
ated by a gas engine and horses are
used only to draw it over the fields
A swath "a feet wide is cut and the
way it eats up a harvest field is simply
marvellous. This makes the third
combine that firm has in operation,
this years heavy yield making it
necessary to have additional machin-
cry with which to harvest the crop.

Harvest On.

The hay harvest is on in full blast
on Camas Prairie now and the grain
is ripening fast. The hay crop is ex-
cellent and from present indications
the yield of grain will be the heaviest
ON the Prairie for years. With the ad-
vent of the harvest comes news Of q
scarcity Of labor and already the sur
plus laborers Of the town and all who
desire to work have hied to the coun-
try. Over on the reservation ram
chers are offering as high as three
dollars day for harvest hands and it
Jocks as though that price will not be
the highwater mark before the crop is
harvested.
