To Work COnViCtS
On State Roads

The state highway commission
has decided to make use of the
prisoners confined in the state
penitentiary at Boise to work on
the state roads. About one hun
dred Of the convicts will be put
To work grading on the Shoshone
highway. They will commence
about August ist and it is intend
ed to keep them employed on the
road the remainder of the sum-
mer and all the fall and winter.
The highway commission
arrived at this decision some
time ago but the men could not
be put to work outside the pris-
.on until Warden SnoOks had re-
.ccived authority from the state
board of prison commissioners.
The prison commissioners passed
the necessary resolution at their
meeting Thursday afternoon. The
resolution authorizes the warden
to send as high as one hundred
men and he has begun the task
OF selecting the men to be sent.
The prisoners picked will be those
ir whom the prison officials have
trust.
The necessary guards will be
provided and sent with the men
but the prisoners consider it a
privilege to be permitted to work
outside the prison and the on
cials are confident that those
chosen for this work will live up
to the reputation other convicts
have established on other out
door work for the state and that
they will not violate the trust
placed i'm them. Quarters will
be built for tht men at the place
where they are to work and those
TO be employed will be housed and
kept there all the time.
BY following the plan of put
ting the convicts at work on the
highway it is believed that the
state will not only reap a big ben
aft i'm improved roads but that it
1 will be possible to keep the pris-
oners at work without having
their labor come into competition
, with other labor in the state
The plan has worked satisfactOr-
| lily i'm a number of the states.
Not only their work does not
come into competition with other
labor but the putting of the mer
ON a partial parole system has
been found to be of great benc-
ht to the convicts themselves.

Seattle Company
After Timber
TAKING OPTIONS IN BENEWAH VALLEY
Wants to Buy At Least Three Hundred Million and
Will Build Plant If Amount Is Secured

The Chick Lumber company of
Seattle has representatives hero
who are trying TO secure options
on the timber ON Benewah creek
and ON other tracts of timber ian
this vicinity. 1t is stated that
they are endeavoring to purchase
three hundred million feet at least
and that their purchase of any
is contingent upon their securing
that quantity.
According to one of the repre-
sentatives of the company they
wish to put up a sawmill and
manufacture the logs into lum-
ber themselves and they do not
feel that it would be a safe prop
osition to go to the expense of
building a mill with less than
three hundred million feet of
timber i'm sight
The representative stated that
even that amount of timber would
hardly warrant the building of a
plant such as the company had
planned but if they could secure
options on that amount they will
go on and build the plant and take
chances on securing more timber
after the mill is running. We
understand that the representa-
tives are meeting with good sue
cess i'm securing options and thai
there is every prospect that they
will secure the three hundred
million necessary to assure Tn,
building of the plant.

ONLY TWO FEET IN RESERVOIR
Council Holds Special Meeting TO Discuss Means
Of Putting Stop to Waste Of Water

Others thought this would not be
fair To parties who had spent
money in fixing up lawns and try
ing to bcautify the city and sug-
gesled that the ST.. Maries Lum-
ber company, the Slien Lumber
q Shingle company, the box fac
tory and the two meat markets
were using a large amount of
water and they should be cut Off.
Others opposed doing anything
that would hamper manufacture
ing plant and so nothing was done
the matter being left to the water
committee to confer with the city
attorney and To- prepare some
kind of an ordinance that would
remedy the existing evil. The
general opinion of those present
was that no permanent cure
could be affected until a meter
system was adopted. Mr. Jaqueih.
when asked his opinion of the ef-
leclS Ol meter system, stated
That the experience i'm all cities
where il har been adopted showed
that it, had decreased the use of
water more than one-half.
It was stated during the dis
cussion that even with the i'm
provements contemplated by the
bond issue, including a ten inch
pipe from the river, the city will
experience the same difficulties as
at present unless meters are in -
stalled and that with meters. the
present system would furnish all
the water needed for domestic
purposes and for lawn sprinkling

Quite a number who had been to
