made upon the battle field by the
martyred Lincoln has become a classic,
a marvel of deep thoughted simplicity
The one made at the same place last

BACK FROM A TRIP TO
MEXICO.

Mining Engineer Roy Wither-
ed, of Ainsworth, B. c., arrived
in Grangeville last Saturday and
remained over Sunday visiting
with his mother, Mrs. Eliza Ever
EFT Mr.. Withered was on his way
home to Ainsworth from a trip to
Monterey, Mexico, where his COM
pany has mining interests. He en-
tered Mexico at Laredo, some three
weeks ago, and as he made the
run of $50 miles to Monterey, the
rebels as they reached the inter-
ior, burned the bridges behind
them. Most of the mines in the
vicinity of Monterey, Mr.. Wither-
ed says, are operating on a more
or less extensive scale, and the
miners are kept fully armed for
self protection. Recently they re
pulsed a band of two hundred
Mexican guerrillas near Monte
rey, who undertook to raid their
camps for supplies; but as a rule,
lie says the Americans in that see
tion are treated with the greatest
consideration by both sides. He
says if necessity required, he
would not hesitate to enter the
camps of either side of the contro-
versy, and is certain he would be
treated with courtesy. On the re-
turn trip, Mr.. Withered says, as
they reached the town of Polamas
they witnessed the closing OF a
battle in which the federals were
worsted. Mr.. Withered spent
three years in the Mexican mining
districts before the deposing OF
Diaz, and is somewhat familiar
with conditions in that country
He continued his trip on to Aims
worth ON Tuesday morning.

NO CAUSE FOR HARD
FEELINGS.

The Kooskia Mountaineer take
sensible view of the annexation
and county division questions,
which it sets forth in the follow
Zig manner:
The Kamiah people and others
who were working for the annex
alton movement failed to connect,
but there should be no hard feel
ings over the outcome. There are
none here. We realize the fact
that Kamiah was not alone at the
bottom Of the move. Several IA
miah people, business men and
others, worked openly for the
annexation move. That was their
privilege. And some people living
within d mile or so of kooskla,
two or three of them property
owners of our town, favored the
proposition. That was their privl-
lege, too, but their judgement was
bad. Now that the matter has
been settled let's drop it. The
people of Kamiah are pulling for
their own town. Nothing else can
be expected. Kooskia and other
towns are doing the same. But
in boosting for the home bailiwicl
there is no reason on earth why
any animosity should exist be-
tween neighboring towns. Slight
differences are bound to arise
occasionally, but we can be neigh
borly through it all. In all matters
of public nature the local news

And the Mountaineer always gets
in. 1t may not always get on the
right side-lays no claim to in.

question, moral or otherwise, fol-
any party or faction, fact wei

MATERIAL FOR
W. U. TEL. LINE
Three Cars Received; Local
Independent Office in
Imperial Hotel.

1t has been understood for a
number of months that the West
ern Union intended putting in an
independent uptown office in
Grangeville, and the talk was that
the office would be established at
the Imperial hotel, where, it was
said, desirable office room could
be secured at very reasonable
figure, which together with the
surroundings offered the most fav
orable location. The following
article taken from the Lewiston
Tribune, indicates that the wish
es of the citizens are about to be
met. 1t says
Three car loads of equipment
to be used by the Western Union
in the construction of line from
Lewiston to Grangeville have
reached this city, and it is pre-
sumed work is to start early. The
equipment received consists prin
cipally of wire, with one car loaC
of poles.
Manager Talcott, of the Lewis
ton office of the company, statec
yesterday that the wire would b.
strung on the poles of the Cama'
Prairie Railroad company, so al
towns reached by the railroad
will be served. AT all informed
late points a joint office will b.
maintained with the railroad com
pany, but at Grangeville an indie
pendent office will be provided
This office will be located in tn

AREOLD ROADS
TO TAKE HAND
Indications are that Owners
of the High Line will Try
for Better Route.

There was a good deal of rail
road talk" yesterday in the city
and seemingly based upon some
responsible information-that the
Northern Pacific and O.-W. R.
& N. were definitely turning at
tention toward the construction of
line running from Lewiston to
the district south and southeast !;
that this work had been under
contemplation some time and that
engineers were now making an in
spection dealing with a final re-
port on the subject. According
to the street reports the line
would be extended at least as far
as Waha.
The development has a pecul-
lar interest in view of the fact
that when the Northern Pacific
and O.-W. R. & N. made peace
few years ago and decided joint
ly to build line into the Prairie
region, through the forming of a
holding company-the Camas Pra
irie organization-a route survey
ed was through the district south
of Lewiston and Waha. The con
sMuction of that line was in fac
seriously contemplated but aftel
much negotiation the Culdesac *
tension was adopted. This latfel
route provided for very heavy
grades in negotiating the Crsas
Mountain climb, and it has sine
been common report that boil
roads felt they made mistake
Whether that matter has prompt
ed the new move, or whether
is due to the developing strengtl
back of the johnson enterprise, t
the Sturm railroad move, or tn
threatened invasion of this dis
trict by the Milwaukee from tn
Potlatch country-all remains

The forest forces, who are dill

for good roads, good trails and
convenient telephones, are now
anxious to see the citizens OF
this section make strong pull
for government aid to assist in
putting in a good wagon road to
the South Fork bridge, and on
Wednesday last Supervisor Ring
appeared at the Commercial Club
luncheon and opened up teasl-
bic plan by which it may be pos
sible to get substantial assistance
from the government to construct
the much needed road from near
Mt. Idaho to the South Fork
bridge, which was put IN some
two years ago by the JOINT
efforts of the citizens of Grange
Vile and the forest forces.
The road would be some elght
miles in length, and 1t IS estl-
mated would cost approximately

last year in the country tributary
to Grangeville, and that practlc-
ally all of this lumber was snip
ned in from outside points. With
tbe completion of the proposed
road the milling industry would
at once take on life and activity,
and would become a source OF
considerable revenue to this sec.

UNIVERSITY FORESTRY
BULLETIN.

The University of Idaho For
estry Department has issued a
bulletin descriptive of the forest
trees best adapted to Idaho, with
instructions how to plant the SAM
and how to secure same from the
department. Following informa-
ton is taken from the bulletin
for the information of those de-
string forest trees;
The Department of Forestry
has about thirty thousand trees
for distribution to residents OF
Idaho at two cents each plus
cost of packing. For each hundred
trees, or fraction thereof, or
dered add twenty-five cents for
packing and drayage. Money
must accompany orders.
In transplanting, all trees
should be placed from one to two
inches deeper than they original
ly grew, the hole should be made
large, roses spread well, and the
earth packed firmly. If the soil
is dry the use of a moderate
amount of water, while filling the
lower part of the hole, is recon-
mended.

School Notes.
The spelling contest on last Fri
day night resulted in the selection
of James Yates, Everett Cheney
and Dick Feaster, out of forty-sev
en- who entered the contest. These
three contestants appeared in the
district contest on the following
night and two of these, James
Yates and Everett Cheney, were
winners and are thus entitled to
appear in the county contest
which comes off next Saturday.
The third successful candidate of
Saturday night last was Ruth By
ers of Mt. Idaho. Naturally we
are hoping that all our contest
ants, James and Everett, will win.
in the county contest.
AT the request of nearly all the
teachers the school board has
granted a spring vacation of one
week beginning Monday, March

At a recent meeting of the
board plan of allowing bills and
system of accounts was adopted
J which will place the finances of

J The chief feature of the plan is
the creation of a finance commit

, ever, must be presented to the

encouragement. The people all
along the proposed route are re-

thusiam and as rule are giving
the right of way out right.
The committee appointed March
9 at a farmers meeting at upper
Tammany to meet z. A. johnson
and confer with him relative to
the building of the johnson Road
give strong support to the enter
prise as is evidenced by letter
the committee has sent to farmers
and landowners of the Tammany
and Waha districts. With this let
ter, statement is also made that the
committee will commence solic-
ing subscriptions in the farming
district next week. The committee
comprises j. G. Jansen of Waha,
president of the Lewiston Valley
Farmers Union; d. S. Wallace
Of Daniels & Wallace, Tammany,
and attorney F. s. Randall, man
ager of the Franklin Potts inter
ests which include ownership of
the well-known "21" ranch and
much other valuable land in the
valley. The attitude taekn by
this committee seems to have
placed the johnson railroad move
ment on such plane as to assure
its success, for it is felt that
with the farmers in such spirit
uniting with the Lewiston people
all necessary conditions can be
met. The letter issued by the COM
mittee is as follows:
