OF Colonel Cocktails and the extraor-

up enthusiasm among his men:

Logs For Many Years.

Last week the Elk River Sentinel
published an interesting article on the
subject Of the timber supply tributary
to the mills OF Elk River, which is
worthy Of peyusal by any one who is
interested in our resources. The fol-
lowing extracts are from the article:
"A logging railroad that will carry
more than a billion feet Of timber, that
will alone be able to feed the mill here
to full capacity for eighteen years, and
that will be at least 20 miles long, has
just been begun, and large crew will
work on it until snow stops them.
Heretofore the logging in this vicin-
ity has been confined to little spurs
running out a mile or two from town
or branching off the Milwaukee track
close to town. This line is the first
step in the systematic development Of
the timber tributary to Elk River, and
it gives a glimpse Of the magnitude and

Elk River has certainly shown
that it has no prejudice against
this part Of the county, as it cast
q larger proportion of votes for
the court house bonds than Oro-
fino precinct did. The people Of
Elk River considered that the re-
quest of the commissioners for
$25, 10000 for a court house was
reasonable, and that it would be
better to build a court house for
that amount now, than to wait a
few years and then build one
costing double that sum.

Latah county had a court house
bond election on Tuesday, and
voted down the proposition to
issue bonds for a new court house
and jail. It is hard to understand
just why the people of that
county are opposed to such inn
provements. They need a court
house as bad as any county we
know of, and there must be a lot
Of knot heads" in that county,

something to do with the result.

cost Of woods operation in the pineries.
As originally located the railroad was to
be built at an estimated cost Of 81, 900
per mile without including right-of-way,
buildings or sidings. Some changes
have since been made in the route but
not enough to materially alter the prob
able outlay.
1.-THE new track will branch off the
Milwaukee at point about four miles
from town, or a little more than half
that in an air line. It will run south
then west and north in wide crescent,
most of which will be in the northern
part of township 1872 east; it will then
curve to the west and then in gen.
eral southwesterly direction through
township 1911 east to the northeast cor
ner of township $751; west At its ter
minal it will be seven or eight miles
north Of southwick, which lies in rich
and beautiful farming country in the
southeastern part OF Latah county.
1.-THE timber to be tapped byth rail-
road between here and Three Bear
creek, little stream at its terminal,
consists mainly Of white pine with the
usual proportion Of cedar, red and
white fir and larch. II is understood
that the Potlatch company's cruisers
have estimated the total stand at slightly
more than billion feet. Setting the
average annual cut Of the Elk River
mill at IS, OOO, 600, this tract would feed
it from next fall until Christmas 1891,
even if the line is not extended or no
new timber purchases made.
another important new line which
the company has in view will run into
the Swamp Creek country in township
1913 east. This railroad will be difficult
and expensive owing to the rough brok-
en- country it will traverse and only
preliminary "Reminiscences have been
made, so nothing definite can be stated
as to it's location or cost, when it will
be started or the amount Of timber it
will tap. There is great deal Of fine
white pine on Swamp creek and q rea-
sonably good grade will insure in addi-
ton that all the timber lying west Of
the North Fork and Of the Little North
Fork as far north as tp Ala east will
be brought to Elk River for manufac-
ture.. The Swamp creek logs will alone
feed this plant to capacity for ten to
twelve years and if those lying to the
north Of 1873 can be brought in on a
reasonable grade, as now seems certain,
second mill, equal in capacity to the
present, must be built. Adding the
timber on Elk creek due north of town
and reaching to within pistol shot Of the
village limits, there is enough to keep
two big mills busy for more than fifty
years"
