ON MARSHALL LAKE WORKINGS
State Mine Inspector Tells CT Proper
ties In Idaho County.

State Mine Inspector Robert N Bell,
who recently visited Grangeville. spoke
interestingly of Idaho county mines in
an interview published last week in
the Wallace Miner. That portion deal
ing with idaho county properties is re-
produced herewith:
"Among the gold camps in the Mar
shall Lake district, in Idaho county, the
Holt mine has developed a high grade
gold ore deposit that is credited with
an output of 5000, 900 with 25-ton mill
since November a year ago.
"The success Of this enterprise has
induced much prospecting in the dis
trict and has resulted in the disclosure
of several other very promising gold ore
deposits.
"In the same county cyanide mill
, of 300 tons daily capacity has recently
been completed by a Spokane company
for the treatment of big deposit
of low grade gold ore. This in
stallation is in the nature of pilot mill
and it's successful handling of the de-
Pposit at any decent margin of profit
will probably result in the property be
| ing equipped with a mill of 1000 tons
| daily capacity.
"At the Dewey mine, on the Clear
water, near Grangeville, o5-ton test
mill was completed to treat the exten-
sive deposit Of copper-gold ore already
disclosed and ] am advised that much
larger plant is in contemplation in the
near future. -

RHOADES RESIGNS
PLACE ON IDAHO
COUNTY BOARD
TELLS GOVERNOR HE DESIRES TO
NO LONGER SERVE ON
COMMISSION.
SUCCESSOR NOT SELECTED
Alexander Expected to Appoint Demo-
crat to Fill Unexpired Term End
ing in January, 1919.

Jay o. Rhoades of Pollock has resign
ed as member of the board Of com
missioners of Idaho county. Mr..
Rhoades' resignation was sent to Cover
nor Alexander this week, and it is pre-
sumed will be accepted by the state Is
chief executive. A successor to Mr..
Rhoades will, under the law, be ap-
pointed by the governor. It is not
known whom the governor has in mind
for the new member of the Idaho
county board.
Business Demands Time.
Mr., Rhoades, so far as is known in
drangeville, has given no specific rea-
son for his resignation. However, it is
known that he has felt he should devote
more time to his private business af-
fairs than has been possible for him to
do during the period he has held the
office of commissioner. Mr.. Rhoades,
who i member of the firm of Holt e.
Rhoades, is big stockman of the Sal
mon river country. Owing to the dis.
tance from Pollock to Grangeville, il
has been with difficulty that Commits
sioner Rhoades has attended the meet
ings of the board.
Mr.. Rhoades was elected commission
er on the Democratic ticket in the fall
of 1916, and took office Jan. s, 1917.
He has served practically year. His
successor will be appointed by the gov
ernor to fill the unexpired term, which
ends Jan. 13, 1919.
Democrat to be Named.
Resignation of Mr.. Rhoades from the
county board does not mean that the
political complexion of the board will be
changed, for Governor Alexander is ex-
pected to appoint Democrat to fill
the unexpired term. The board consists
of three members, twofeof the commits
sioners now being Republicans. John d.
Long Of Grangeyille is chairman of the
board and Dale Clark of Kooskia
commissioner.

HOW SOLDIERS ARE MOVED.

The American soldier is wearing
seven league boots these days. Some
idea of how quickly the continent is
being spanned by the khaki contingent
can be obtained from statement by
officials of the railroads war board
that 5000 soldiers have just been moved
from the Pacific to the Atlantic, 300
miles, in just six and one-half days.
The men carried all their equipment
with them and were provided with sleep
ing cars by the Pullman company. The
trains operated in sixteen sections and
consisted of twelve tourist cars and two
baggage cars. There were five hundred
men to the train. To assure the safety
of soldiers in transit, the railroads have
adopted an average speed of twenty
five miles an hour for all troop trains
except when freight cars are included
when the speed is reduced to twenty
miles an hour,

fore by monthly subscriptions from the
business men of the town and the
Civies club. The financial demands OF
the men of Grangeville have so increas
ed, the many. important and pressing
needs to which they are asked to con
tribute have grown to such proportions
that some have asked that their sub
scriptions be cancelled.
Recently cash box was placed il
the room and it averages about rs cent
week, still this leaves a deficit Of

Ciyics club can no longer meet. There

FOREST SERVICE WOULD BE OF
ASSISTANCE TO LOCAL CON-
SUMERS OF FUEL.
Make REQUESTS FOR DATA
Acting Supervisor Takes Inventory of
Supplies In Grangeville-Let-
ters Sent Out.

In order to be of assistance to the
people of Grangeville in event of coal
shortage, and to cooperate with the fed
eral government in dealing with the fuel
situation, the Grangeville office of the
Nezperce National forest is taking an
inventory of the fuel supply in Grange
vile, and calling on cumsumers to esti-
mate the amount of fuel they will need
for the winter, in addition to the stock
of fuel already on hand.
Letters have been sent by Frank J.
Jefferson, acting supervisor of the for
est in the absence of Supervisor Me-
Harg. to consumers in Grangeville, ask
ing them for the data. Consumers are
requested to substitute, in every case
possible, wood for coal, because of the
coal shortage, and difficulty of railroads
in caring for shipments.
May Open New Roads.
Should the demand for wood be so
great as to warrant such action by the
forest service, new roads will be opened
this fall by the service into timbered
areas in the hills south Of Grangeville.
The letter sent out by Mr.. jefferson
follows:
'On account of the unusual demand
for ears for army work and the in
creased demand for coal by manufac-
turing plants working on war orders, it
appears that atcoal shortage is probable
throughout the west. In view of the
above conditions, it is altogether pro-
hable that those communities which are
far from an available wood supply will
be given a preference in the delivery
of coal.
"Since Grangeville has an excellent
opportunity to substitute wood for coal
it is my opinion that, should a serious
coal storage develop, the shipment of
coal to this vicinity would be reduced
to a minimum in order to provide a
supply for prairie communities. Tt is
the intention of the forest service to
render every possible aid in making
wood supplies available for community
use. by the construction of roads, etc
Before making any expenditures. how
ever, for road purposes, it is necessary
for us to know that the present avail
able supply is not sufficient to meet the
need this winter.
Want Answers to Questions.
"In order to decide upon this vour
nelp is necessary. ] would, therefore,,
be very glad to have you fill in answers
to the questions on the enclosed card
and mail it at your postoffice. No
postage will be necessary upon this card.
"Since war demands at present are
rushing both railroad companies and
mine operators to the limit. believe
that as a patriotic duty wood should be
substituted for coal wherever possible. F"
The questions deal with present fuel
supplies and future needs.

HAVE NO RIGHT TO NAME
Poland China Hogs Allowed to Retain
Cognomen Because They Had
Been Long So Called.

The Poland-China hog originated
in Butler and Warren counties, O..
In 1916 the Society of Shakers in
Warren county, brought some breed
ing hogs from Philadelphia. Some
of them were pure white and others
white, with black spots. They were
represented to the Shakers as Of pure
Chinese blood and were called Big
Chinas. The descendants of these
hogs were widely distributed in War
rem and Butler counties and were
known by different names, among
others as Poland-Chinas, because it
was said they had been crossed with
a Poland breed. They were also
called Magees. In 1872 a commit
tee which had been appointed to in
vestigate the figin of the breed re-
ported its findings to the National
Swine Breeders congress. This
committee reported against the the
DRY that the Chinas had been crossed
with Polands, but as the name Po-
land-China had been adopted and
was in general use, the committee
advised that it be retained, and it
was. The name Magee never repre-
sented rival breed of hogs, but was
one of the names by which the Po-
land-Chinas were sometimes called.
The Ohio oland-China Record was
organized in 1877, the Central Po-
land-China association in 1880, and
in 1906 these two associations ANAL
gamated as the National Poland
China Record Company.
