In our district" said J. c. Litchfield
of Elk. who has been in the city the
past week on business in connection
with case on trial in the district
court and who departed for his home
on Monday.
1.-The Madre Orc is owned by my son,
Stanley" continued Mr.. Litchfield; land
1t indeed shows flattering prospects Of
developing into one of the best pro-
ducing mines p central Idaho. The
work on the tunnel to date shows rich
prospects all the way. The vein is 80
feet wide and right now the men are
handling over six feet of free milling
ore. A recent mill test had at the prop
erty shows about IS ton. This, in
brief. illustrates the value OF the mine
and the extent OF the work so far.
'The new mill Is to be operated by
soon as the fan rains in the mountains
insure enough water. Like the prairie
districts, we have had but very little
rain this summer and on this accoun
the beginning of mill operations at the
Madre ORC has been retarded. The
mill is a Hammond and has a capacity
| OF about seven or eight tons a day. The
Madre Orc mine is located on American
river, about a mile and hree-quarters
| from Elk, across the river from the
Colonel Sellers mine and the work done
| to date indicates that the two properties
are for the most part Identical IN
character. Throughout the camp this
year wherever work has been done good
results have been attained and although
the development in general has not been
as extensive as in former years the
outlook is exceedingly promising for
next summer"
Land OF Farms and Mines.
Great strides are being made in the
Elk City country in an agricultural way.
according to Mr.. Litchfield, who says
that he has field of oats that will
yield 60 bushels per acre this fan. w.
r. Bullock. a neighbor. also has a
similar field. An increased acreage Is
being cleared in that section every year
and many of the older residents that Is,
people who have lived there a number Of
years are devoting their time and ener
gy almost exclusively to farming and
! livestock. One of the objects of Mr..
Litchfield's trip to the prairie at this
time was to purchase a small threshing
machine to be used in the Elk country.
Mr.. Litchfield has $50 acres of the
richest land in that section. He and
Mrs. Litchfield located at Elk 26 years
ago and have made their home there
ever since.

ELECTED much comment was the sew
eral flowers which were not generally
known to be adapted to the climatic and
growing conditions of this part of the
country. While the list of varieties was
large and many different kinds of flow
ers were seen, hollyhocks, sweet pas,
roses and asters predominated.
The judges chosen to officiate at the
show were Mrs NJ. Howard, Mrs
John Wasmund and Mrs Geo. d. Smith
Mrs. Howard and Mrs. wasmund are
members of the two Camas Social clubs,
organizations which have worked with
the Civic clug in bringing about nu-
merous public improvements. Mrs.

During the afternoon and evening Wis

The members of the Civic club are
entitled to unlimited praise for this,
their greatest effort, and likewise for
the many public enterprises which have

MORE FACTS AND FIGURES
. AGAINST COUNTY DIVISION
Why do the Dvsionists Who Have County Seat Amb
tions, Which is the Principal Motive,
Meet These Facts?

The two principal arguments advanced
for the division of Idaho county are: >
1st-Its vast size, which as Parker Of
Cottonwood, division candidate for state
senator says, is capable of making thir-
ty (30) counties. See Sites Enter
prise, August 2S. 1914.
2nd--The assessed valuation of Idaho
county, which they claim Is sufficient
to make three counties of the lowest
class.
How absurd these arguments are is
shown in the following table of the
acreage and taxable property of each
county in the state:
