SHOULD ASK Federal help
Elk City and GFangeViIle Ought to
Get Busy Now.

The mining industry of this
county has been retarded by the
lack of transportation more than
any one thing and if the camps
were more accessible by good
roads there would be today three
fold the prosperity that now ex-
lists. Take the Elk camp, for
example; if there was a good
wagon road up the South Fork
from Grangeville, many an in
vestor who has visited the camp
would come back enthusiastic
over the prospects, and consider
able capital would have been in
terested. But the way it is now
those who make the trip are
quite often worn out and dis
gusted, due to the hardships of
the trip. The people of the
mountain section should take the
initiative and make a move for a
road up the South Fork from
Grangeville.
If a movement was started by
the Elk people, Grangeville could
be counted upon to join in with
them and do everything in her
power to further the object.
There is no good reason why such
an appropriation could not be Sc
cured. the camp is within the
forest reserve and the govern
ment has always maintained
that it is desirous of assisting the
dev elopment of the reserves. A
united effort asking for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 from the
national government for road
construction is worth the effort
which is very apt to be crowned
with success. Free Press.

A few ENCOURAGING
RAILROAD RUMORS
Reports Indicates Much Activity This
Year.

In summing up the railroad
construction for 1918, the Boise
Statesman gives some very in
teresting conclusions, of course
with Boise the hub around which
all of the projected lines evolve.
The Statesman closes its pipe
dreams by saying: 'Boise ard
southern Idaho are to have
quicker, cheaper and more direct
outlets to the Pacific coast for
their surplus products; north
and south Idaho are to be brought
into direct communication, one
with the other, as the immediate
result of railway development
now under consideration by the
men who control the traffic des-
tiny of the nation -
The part of the article which
is of interest to Lemhi readers
in reference to possible activities
or suggested activities of the
Gilmore & Pittsburg, is as fol-
lows:
Continue the line west to
Weiser, then on north over the
Pacific & Idaho Northern, to
New Meadows; then down the
Little Salmon to Higgins, where
it will tap the present survey of
the Gilmore & Pittsburg on the
Salmon river. From this point
keep right on with an easy grade
into Lewiston, where connections
are made with all points in the
north.
But at Lewiston there is an
other element that enters. From
this point there is to be water
transportation to the coast, and
it is unnecessary to dwell on the
Importance of this factor in the
transportation of lumber, live
STOCK. farm products of all kinds,
and in fact all products in which
the cost of living figures heavily.
This is the first step. For
years the Short Line has figured
on extending its main line throu
this city, leaving what is known
as the main line at a point near
Owinza. The movement by the
opposition to construct a line
from Wells through the Twin
Falls tract on to Boise and Lew
iston has greatly stimulated the
Hartman interests. and this
time the talk of building the
Owinza cutoff into Boise has
much that is tangible back of it,
But this is not all. The taking
over of the Idaho Northern
dewey road) by the Oregon
Short Line will. while tapping E
rich section of country, give the
Hartman interests a long lap il
the race for the north. The
Idaho Northern is to be com
, pleted with all haste to Payettt
Lakes. From there it is no seri
} Gus matter to push on to Riggin.
to a connection with the Gilmore
& Pittsburg, and from Higgins i
would be an even race between
the Harrimans and the opposi
tion to Lewiston and connection
! with all the roads of the north.
If, as has been conjectured b,
the wise ones, the Gilmore {
Pittsburg is backed by the Hill
interests, central Idaho will re
ceive her share of railroad con
struction next year. 1t is gen

How Frostbite Comes.

The first effect of cold on the skin is
to contract the tiny vessels that connect
arteries and veins. Arteries are YES
sells that take blood from the heart.
Veins are those that bring blood back
to the heart. and the connecting yes
sells are called capillaries. While these
little vessels are contracting the skin
itself becomes tenser. In few mo-
ments or minutes the effects change.
The tiny nerves whose stimulation
caused contraction of the capillaries
are more or less paralyzed. and the YES
sells dilate so the skin gets red. Soon
the veins are dilated, and the skin be-
comes blush. Then the nutrient fluid
in the skin (the lymph is coagulated'
and the stretched skin ruptures or
"chaps." If the cold is more severe its
action ia deeper, and the blood itself
may be eoagulated. This is frostbite.

HISTORIC WE'LL

Excavators recently uncovered an
old wen in the heart of New York,
which is thought to be one of the six
wells that the Dutch burgomaster au-
thorized as the city's first water sup
ply. The well, four feet in diameter,
was lined with stones. Near it was
the wall of some ancient building,
bearing faint traces of whitewash,
and two skeletons, which it is
thought may be those of British sol
dic7s. 1t is supposed the well was
dug as early as 1877.
