On Being Grateful.

When we live constantly in the
spirit Of gratitude. we not only re-
move worry from our minds, but we
remove the cause Of worry from our
daily lives. To be grateful for the
good that we now have is to open the
way for better things, and better
things every day has nothing to wor-
ry about.
Here we should remember that
there are few things that have great
er power to brighten the future and
smooth the pathway of life than that
of continuous whole-souled gratitude.
There is always gratitude. There Is
always something to be grateful for.
Begin with that something and ey-
cry day will bring you more to be
grateful for, until your life is full
Therefore, 10 train the spirit with
In to express a greater and a higher
abundance of gratitude is a method of
the highest possible value.

TRAMwAY ON CLEARWATER.

). F. Worum, a Charleston man who
owns the Juliaetta wheat tramway. is
figuring on a $4,000 tram to handle
grain from the Gilbert bench, near
Orofino down to the Northern Pacific.
In similar location at Rock Island,
Washington, the ranchers put in a grain
chute of 3-inch galvanized pipe which
has given excellent service at low cost.
1t is about $500 feet long and has a
set of feed hoppers at the top of the
bluff and delivery bins at the sidetrack
below. One side of a wire loon runs
through the pipe and pulls out obstruc-
tions with series of 5-S inch star
scraper of steel. The pipe is loosely an
chored at intervals to deadmen and ex-
pansion is taken up by a connection
with wooden slip chute in the roof Of
the receiving warehouse. A short tele
phone places the two men who operate
the chute in communication.

CALL ISSUED THIS WEEK FOR
GOOD ROADS RALLY AT THE
COUNTY SEAT-BI0 FEED
y AT NIGHT.

On last Saturday the second meeting
of the committee of three highway CON-
missioners appointed at the time of the
good roads meeting in Grangeville last
July, was held at the Imperial hotel,
VIM. Hussman of the westside, James
Surridge of the mountain section and
John Powell of the prairie, being pre-
sent. A number of matters were taken
up and discussed and it was finally
decided to issue a call for county good
roads meeting to be held in this city
at the court house on January 81 and
in accordance with this plan notices are
being sent out to the various COM
missiOners in the county as well as the
press and others who may be interested.
The meeting held last July was in
strumental in stirring up a lot of en-
thusiasm and has set the people to
thinking. The July meeting consisted
principally of the talk of Mr.. Burrell,
the government expert, who told Of
road construction that was best adapt
ed to the various sections of the coun-
try. Some thought there was little too
much theory in his talk and such may
have been the case. Conditions here
as we all realize present some very
difficult problems when it comes to
road construction of permanent
character. The January meeting will
be devoted to talks by Idaho county
men who will relate actual experiences
and give some practical advice. There
will be no oratorical efforts and it is
the desire of the committee to hear
tried and tested methods of road build
ing explained in common language
rather than a polished talk.
The meeting will be in charge of the
commissioners and those who are in
terested in good roads, cordial in
yitation being extended to all to come
and learn or impart their knowledge to
others.
A permanent organization Of county
commissioners will be effected
during the day and effort made to here
after work along systematic lines.
The business men Of Grangeville,
realizing that call work no play
makes Jack duh boy" are ar
ranging for banquet in the evening at
which life . busy cares will be cast to

Commissioners of the
County Meet Here January 2l

one side and spirit of genuine fun
will prevail; in other words hard work
and knowledge during the day and fun
and frivolity at night. Taken all in
all, the meeting should be the biggest
kind of success.
The following is the copy of the call
now being sent out: - 49,
Call For Good Roads Meetings.
At a good road meeting held at
Grangeville during July, the subject of
county organization comprising the
commissioners of the highway districts
in the county of Idaho was discussed at
some length with the result that q com.
mittee was appointed to take charge of
the matter and to work toward that end.
The committee consisting of w. B.
Hussman Of Keuterville, James Sur
ridge of Harpster and j. A. Powell of
Grangeville, met in Grangeville this
Saturday, December 81, 1913 and select
ed Wednesday, Jan. 81, 1914, at 10 a. m.
for general meeting to be held at
Grangeville at the court house at which
time it is sought to accomplish a per-
manent organization.
As success at the present day is only
assured by cooperation and believing
that good roads is the most important
subject before the people of Idaho
county today and as there is no matter
more directly under the control of the
people than road construction, and the
people are all interested in getting the
best construction for their money. and
having elected their district commits
sioners for this purpose, we believe that
something can be learned that will be a
benefit to all along this line, we the
appointed committee issue this call.
The following subjects among Others
will be discussed:
Purpose of organization.
Cooperation of highway districts.
Bonding highway districts.
Bookkeeping methods for highway
districts
Collecting road poll taxes.
Methods of road construction.
Getting results.
Construction of dobe roads.
Use of road roller.
Indian lands should be taxed for
road purposes.
Construction of side-hill roads.
North and south state road.
Respectfully,
John A. Powell, James, Surridge, W.
