PARKER BACK IN GXANGEvILLE
Returns With Daughter from Exten-
sve Trip ia North Idaho.

A. +. Parker and daughter, Sylvia, re-
turned Sunday from five weeks alb
senee in the northern counties on state
land business. They were going every
day, as there was much field work to be
attended to. Their itinerary included
all the northern counties. and trip was
made to Creston, b. c., where Mr.. Par
ker represented the state of Idaho in
the absence of Senator Borah, in the
kootenai reclamation meeting, which
was attended by representative engi-
neers of the u. s. and Canadian gov
ernments.
From the statements made by the
Canadian authorities, there is no doubt
that there will be joint action on the
part of the two governments within
the near future to attack this problem
by diverting the Kootenai river near
its source into the west arm of the great
Kootenai lake, which will be supple
mented by diking the bottom lands on
both sides of the international bound
ary line. This latter work will be done
by local reclamation districts, and the
cost will run up to probably S65 an acre,
but it will be money well spent, says
Mr.. Parker.
Mr.. Parker talks Interestingly of his
experiences and observations of re-
clamation work in the lake country,
where, he says, water runs uphill, but
is perfectly satisfied to return to Camas
Prairie, where neither irrigation nor
reclamation is needed to ensure pro-
ductive crops. The average rainfall in
all the country north of the Clearwater
water shed averages only II inches a
year, and no rain has fallen in any of
the counties north of the st. Joe in the
last four months, and everything is dry
and bare, with short crops in all eoun-
ties this season.

HEATH Is FOUND NOT GUILTY
Probate Court Jury Acquits Him of
Assault and Battery Charge.

The story of a woman stepping in to
save her husband from severe beating
at the hands of another man was aired
in the court of Probate Judge Campbell
Wednesday, when the case of the state
vs.. George Heath was tried. Heath was
charged with assault and battery, the
complaining witness being A. III. Laugh
lin. jury found Heath not guilty.
The trouble grew out of dispute as
to occupancy o. certain property ON the
Harry Hilbourne ranch near Grange
vile. Mr.. Heath had leased the ranch,
and the residence thereon was occupied
by the Laughlins.
Much bitter feeling was developed
over possession of part of the property
and harsh words ensued. The hurling
of epithets was succeeded by a pugilis-
tie encounter between Heath and Laugh
lin, when Mrs. Laughlin stepped in and
Heath hit her with his fist. Heath, on
the witness stand, declared he did not
intend to strike Mrs Laughlin, but she
put herself in such position that he
could not keep from striking her. He
said he would not Intentionally hit a
woman. The battle took place last
July.

RUSH WORK ON DAM ACROSS
SOUTH FORK OF CLEARWATER

Present calculations are that the dam,
which will be of concrete, will be COM
pleted within six months However, the
time when the job will be finished
will depend upon the depth to which ex-
cayation will be necessary before bed
rock is reached and upon labor condi-
tions.
Difficulty is experienced in procuring
men for the job, although wages are
good. The company seems to be suf-
fering from the general shortage of
labor and from the disposition of many
laborers to remain unemployed. The
men working at the dam are paid $3.50
a day, and are boarded at the company s
camp for 81.
Engineer Shaw, in charge of eonstruc-
tion, declared the work will proceed all
winter. Cold weather, he asserts, will
not interfere with operations.

Work is progressing rapidly on ex
eavation for the dam which the Grange
vile Light & Power Co. will build across
the SouthNFork of the Clearwater river,
at point between the powerhouse and
the present dam.
Forty men are at work excavating on
the east bank of the river. Already
bedrock has been reached at one place,
and the men are digging for a solid
foundation at other points over which
the dam will be constructed. Depth to
which it will be necessary to excavate
has not been determined.
A Golfer dam has been built from the
east bank into the river, and two en-
gines are kept busy hosting dirt and
rock from the pits
Quantities of timber have been cut
and are on the ground for use in the
construction work. A gravel bin has
been built.

COUNTY VOTES $4,000 FOR
new BRIDGE AT HARPSTER
COMMISSIONERS DECIDE TO AID
IN BUILDING STRUCTURE
ACROSS CLEARWATER.

Idaho county commissioners have
voted $4,000 toward construction of a
bridge across the South Fork of the
Clearwater river at Harpster, in place
OF the one destroyed by high water last
spring.
The money for the new bridge will
come from the current expense fund,
since the levy for road and bridge
purposes is considered insufficient to
furnish the amount of cash necessary for
reconstruction Of the bridge, after pay
ing for needed repairs ON roads and
bridges in other parts of the county
The clerk of the board of commission
ers has been instructed to advertise for
bids for construction of the Harpster
bridge. The bids will be opened and
considered November 5, at 10 a. m.
The new bridge will be of benefit to
a large number of residents of Idaho
county, who have been greatly ineon-
venienced since the former bridge was
washed away last spring.

EASTERN CAPITALISTS INTEREST
ED IN TUNNELING UNDER THE
CLEARWATER RIVER.
May sink 2OO-FOOT SHAFT
Grangevile Would Greatly Profit From
Decision to Do Wholesale Work on
the South Fork.

A quarter of u million dollars will be
spent in development in the Dewey min
ing district, on the South Fork of the
Clearwater river, six miles from Grange
VILE, If deal now pending between
local mining men and New York capital
lists is consummated.
Sinking of shaft to a depth of 200
feet beneath the surface, on the west
bank of the river, below the present
camp, and then tunneling under the
Clearwater to workings on the east side,
Is among the plans of the eastern
moneyed men.
Vein of Rich Ore.
A vast quantity of ore, rich in gold
and copper, exists in this section, and
it is believed highly paying vein can
be successfully traced under the water.
course and into the country on the east
bank.
Immediate expenditure of thousands
of dollars in preliminary work, and the
ultimate outlay of $250,0OO in the dis
triet, is the thought of the men con-
cerned. Much improved mining machin-
cry will be taken into this district, if
the deal is consummated, and many men
will be put at work. The men consider
ing the investment will, in case the deal
is closed, go into the Dewey district
with a determination to produce paying
results.
Big Gain to Grangevine
Grangeville would greatly profit from
decision to go ahead with wholesale
development, as all supplies used by the
miners would necessarily pass through
this city. Practically everything bought
by the mining company would be pur-
chased in Grangeville. The payroll at
the mine would be of great proportions,
and much of the miners wages would
find its way here.
Mines in the Dewey section have been
active this summer Huge quantities of
rock have been taken out of the ground
and quartz is daily being brought here
for shipment to smelters. pack train
of twenty mules has been carrying
quartz to the top of the hill, from which
point it has been hauled by wagon to
Grangeville. Also, quartz is hauled by
wagon from the mines to Grangeville by
way of Mount Idaho.
