Austria Is sudden declaration of war
against Servia found the latter, espe.
cially after her two previous Balkan
wars, utterly unprepared both. as to
provisions and as to equipment for her
troops. Entirely cut off from all com.
mercial connection with the rest of the
world, except through the port of Sa.
lonika, which she won through her last
war with Bulgaria, Servia at once
placed immense orders with all of the
importing houses in that city.
She offered the highest possible
prices and the Salonika concerns rap.
idly emptied their warehouses. The
Servian orders continuing, the import
ers began shipping in goods from Aus

found their way into the Austrian com
missariat. Some of the largest com

its mountains and rayines, canyons and
great gorges through which roads must
be built if the country is to be
developed.
Idaho county has contributed much
in annual revenues to the territory
and state of Idaho and has demanded
but little in return. Is it not time that
the actual conditions were made known
to our public men and legislators that
they may come to our assistance7 The
citizens of Grangeville have contribut-
ed literally of their means to build
roads and trails where necessary. Only
last month $1,000 was raised in this
little city by voluntary contributions to
aid in project started by the Nez
Perez forest officials to build a high
way up the south fork of the Clearwa-
ter from Grangeville to Elk City, for
which the forest service appropriated
$4,000, and upon which work is now
proceeding. This road will ultimately
open up the greatest gold producing
country in the state, besides making a
highway giving US direct outlet to the
Montana boundary by the way of the
Nez Perez pass when completed, and
thus forming part of future national
highway. The new state roads commits
sion should certainly include this pro-
ject in its estimates for it's completion
will promote development in the last
stretch of undeveloped frontier in the
Pacific northwest. The richest country
in the world is useless if it cannot be
reached. Wagon roads are the arteries
through which the commercial blood of
the country flows. Without roads the
natural wealth and resources of the
country remain undeveloped The mines
remain unopened, the timber stays un-
cut, the towns cannot grow and the en-
tire region langushes for lack of trans
portation facilities.
The cost of building and eouipping
one first-class battleship would give
us money enough to gridiron the state
of Idaho with necessary wagon roads,
provided that all the funds were not
spent in building automobile highways
in the sage brush counties. Give the
backwoods counties chance to parti
eipate in the expenditures to which
they contribute, and do not pool every
fund into the state treasury to be dis
tribnted share and share alike among
the several counties. Some counties
need mere help than others-and Idaho
county is one of them.
