ELK CITY BOOSTER VISITS.

clash Watson, that excellent
miner who has been in the Hump for
years holding down some valuable
claims, came out from Elk City the
first of the week to look after some
matters of business here and left Tues
day for Lapwai where he will spend
several days with his brother before
returning to the mountains He is now
a full-fledged merchant having, in
partnership with Geo. Esch, opened a
first class general merchandise store
in the Elk camp. They >have built up
a fine business for the short time open
and besides carrying full line of ner-
chandise have added butcher depart
ment. "Lash', who for a number of
years was telegraph operator on the
Mexican Central, is quite familiar with
the country of our troublesome southern
neighbor and takes more than a passing
interest in the news on the Mexican
situation. Clash says they are just
about 1900 years behind the times

excellent place to live its developments

PIONEER MINER Is SURPRISED BY
SHOWING AT FAMOUS PROP
ERTY IN HISTORIC
OLD CAMP.

Word comes from Henry s.. Hazlitt,
the veteran mining engineer and
pioneer of Dixie, to the effect that the
development work on the famous Black
Pine at Elk City to date discloses an
ore shoot of practically 40 feet in
length, and the vein, where cross cut
is made, is about 20 feet wide between
walls. Mr.. Hazlitt recently visited
Grangeville on business mission and
stopped at Elk City on his return to
Dixie for short time.
Regarding the work at the Black
Pine mine at Elk and general conditions
at the camp Judge Hazlitt, who is
known as one of the leading men of the
states mining fraternity, writes in
part:
Idaho County free press. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho Territory) 1886-current, 1914-05-07

tnere are approximately 2,3S0,0OO miles
OF roads in the United States and that
only III per cent of these highways are
improved roads. To maintain these
roads the people of this country are
paying out the enormous sum of about
elgtny million dollars "a year, or ap-
proximately $40 per mile.
= A good road leading into your town
Is an asset, a business getter; bad
road is business loser. AS came
across the prairie today 1 noticed that
your roads are well laid out but they
have not been worked correctly. You
don t want two bitches on the side and
four bitches in the middle. And don 4
be afraid you III lose little rain: build
your road so that some of the water. at
least, will run off. The soil on this
prairie is as fine as any | have ever
seen and you can have roads to equal
soil if you use the split log drag prop
erly.
Urges Correct Use of Drag.
The time to use the split log drag
is Immediately after a rain. Don t use
drag on the roads when the roads are
dry. The ordinary road worker or
farmer plows his fields when the
ground is practically dry; he wants to
work the road under the same condi-
tlons and he expects God to perform a
miracle by keeping the field soil pull
verized and MISUNDERSTANDING and the
road soil caked hard and smooth. You
can't plaster a wall with dry plaster;
you can't use dry cement and YOU can
not pack dry dirt. But you can pud-
die mud into good roads with a split
log drag, properly used.
There s a plain dirt road entirely
across the state of Iowa from the Mis-
sissippi river to the Missouri. 1t has
been maintained for several seasons by
the farmer with split log drags at a
cost of $3.50 per mile. The same re-
suit can be had on any dirt rOad.''
King to Talk and Demonstrate.
Mr.. Speed humorously alluded to his
ride from the local depot to the I'M
perial in bus and suggested that the
city folk hesitate to plan to teach the
farmers how to build good roads until
some of the local streets are kept in
better condition. "But you have good
horses here" he added; eff you didn It
have, l d be down at the depot yet
While all the plans for the King good
roads meeting have not been formulated
it is probable that a lecture by Mr..
King and a practical demonstration of
the use of the drag on local street will
be the principal features. All the high
way commissioners in the county will
be urged to be present, as well as all
the farmers, road builders and citizens
generally, in order to receive the bene-
fit of this nationally famous expert IS
views and experience. In case of sunny
weather and dry roads Mr.. Speed says
that Mr.. King with the aid of the local
street sprinkler will readily put piece
Of dirt roadbed in shape for his DEM
onstration of the drag. The good roads
committee of the Commercial club with
officers of the Idaho County Good
Roads Association will probably have
charge of the meeting, particulars of
which will be announced shortly.
