There seems to be no opposing in

Fork road into Elk City The great
benefits to be derived from this road
are too apparent to even the most OBJ
tuse to admit of conflicting opinions
on the subject. Its construction is
only a matter of raising the where
withall to promote the project The
government has said through its Off
cials that it is ready to do its part
the state has passed a bill authoriz-
ing a million dollar bond issue for
road construction in the state. 1t
is up to the citizens Of Idaho county
In the case of the South Fork road,
the same as with the north and south
highway, to make the next move. The
mining congress recently in session at
Spokane appreciates the benefit to the
mining industry to be derived from the
South Fork road, and went on record
in the following resolutions:
Whereas, Idaho county, state of Ida
no, famous during the early sixties for
the production Of $3.50, ,000) placer

torians as one of the spots illumining
a much needed support to the national

the federal government for aid in
building a water grade road up the
South Fork of the Clearwater river
through the national forest to Elk City.

Opinion Of the Chief Of the Swiss Gen.
eral staff.
Contrast this maximum of 1872 hours
of training Iii our national guard with
the training considered necessary in
Switzerland. Our military attache tel
egraphed under date of March 9, 1916.
this opinion of the chief of the Swiss
general staff:
For our soldiers who have the
spirit of the soldier and the taste for
the military service consider the
following number of days (full days,
not hours) necessary to prepare a sol
dier to enter In war: Infantry, 200
days; cavalry, IL months; field artil-
lery, 300 days. AS for our officers, the
course of instruction is much too short.
They should especially have more SER
vice with troops"
| 1t should be understood in this con-
nection, as General Scott points out,
that the average Swiss youth is very
well trained in rifle shooting as an

Too Much Politics Among COngressmen
Questions asked by Mr.. Gordon OF
the committee, at another point In the
hearing, were Illuminating as reveal.
ing the mistaken belief I'm the minds
of some members of congress that the
national guard system is popular
with the voters and that universal
training would be unpopular.
The main objection that we have,
testified General Scott, "is that ws
have not the men directly under fed
eral control. And the act does no
give us the time necessary 10 max,
soldiers, and that if congress increased
that time you would pur such tax OF
the citizens that they would not en-
list"
''Then what you mean," remarked
Mr.. Gordon, lis that any military
force to satisfy you gentlemen woul,
have to be under absolute federal con
trolT'
"Yes."
WELL" said Mr.. Gordon, there wa
a candidate for president recently VIII
advocated that thing, and he was de
feated by very large majority. ID
you think that congress should, in viey
of that result, attempt to force such
thing on the American peopleY

Representatives of more than a doz-
en- patriotic and fraternal societies of
Spokane have joined the chamber of
commerce committee on military af-
fairs in a telegraphed appeal to con-
gress and the president to give the ma
ton dependable preparedness through
universal military training of the coun-
try's youth. q
If any reader of the Spokesman
Review questions the soundness of that
action, and still holds to hope that
the volunteer system and the national
guard could save this country in a war
with modern armies, ne will do well
to consider the counsel given congress
recently by General Hugh L. Scott,
chief of staff of the United States
army.
General Scott was testifying before
the house committee on military af-
fairs. Representative McKellar had
just remarked that the national guard
boys on the Mexican border were down
there for patriotic purpose and had
made great sacrifices. General Scott
agreed with him heartily on that.
IF that is So" continued Mr.. Nc
Kellar, why should not the depart
ment and those In charge of the army
give this system, which we have in
stituted at great expense to our ma
ton, fair trial?"
Can't Train a Soldier i'm 192 Hours
''The militia system has been given
a fair trial, and the war department
will continue to give 1t fair trial.
replied General Scott. "As / pointed
out before, however, you have provid-
ed in the national defense act a maxi
mum of 1872 hours annual training foI
the national guard. Any military mar
knows that you can not begin to make
a good soldier In that period of train
ing, and that the effort to do so Il
bound to result In failure. Troops
that have had the amount of training
that you propose to give the national
guard have failed on every battlefield
in the past and will continue to fai
on every battlefield in the future wheT
confronted by trained and disciplined
troops. We believe that so far as tn,
whole voluntary system is concerned Il
is a failure. Here is one OF
the fundamental things about it.
read it to you yesterday:
An analysis of the national defens,
act above quoted shows that the ar
mory training required by it amounts
to ~ hours annually. Assuming tina
the total 10 days for field training arr
employed in training at the rate o.

will amount to 120 hours, or tota

GOV. SIGNS BILL CREATING

that the bill creating the Tenth Judic-
ial District, composed Of Idaho, Lewis
and Nez Perce counties had just re-
ceived the approval of Governor Nose
by the affixing thereto Of his auto
graph. The telegram further stated
that the governor had not made public
his choice of judge to fill the new
judicial position and there was no In
dications when the announcement
would be Forthcoming. Judge Steele
was anxious at the time he left here
last Saturday to see the appointment
made and the new judge get busy on
the large Nezperce county docket OF
$50 cases But when he found that
such would not be the case he buckled
on his armor and went to it himself.

There is no disposition on the part of

to fall and the winter conditions con-

heavy losses. SO far, there has been
less loss than would naturally be ex-

He opened court at Lewiston on last
Monday.
The question of the formation of
two districts out of the old Second
judicial district has been up for con-
sideration for the past number Of
years, and the discussion as to the
proper way to divide it has at times
grown decidedly heated. Lewiston and
Moscow with their conflicting ambi-
tions, were unalterably opposed to be-
ing associated together In two county
district; and the prairie country was
equally opposed to being dominated by
Lewiston. But 1t had to be done one
of the two ways, or not at all, so the
prairie has been handed the package.
Now If Nose gives the judgeship to
the river port, it will undoubtedly be
heaping 1t up on us. But we are
hoping for better things.

Wonder Mine at Golden and
New York at Newsome to
Have Ten Each.
OPERATE BY MAY lST
Properties Have Much Ore
Blocked Out; Chas. Smith
to Manage Wonder.
(By Joe b. Wade.)

Secretary Wilbur Campbell of the
Wonder Mining company received word
this week from Charles Smith, who
is at Mullan, Idaho, that he had closed
a deal for a 20 stamp mill at that
place. The mill is now being disman-
tied. and will be shipped to Sites and
from there one-half or the mill win
be hauled by sleds to the Wonder mine
at Golden and the other half to the
New York mine near Newsome. The
mill is as good as new having been
run only one month. The stamps, en-
gines and the entire mill equipment
were included In the purchase Mr..
Campbell also announces that Mr..
Smith has been employed to superin-
tend the Wonder mine during the year
1917.
| Mr.. Campbell also said: I'VE now
have ore to the value OF $350,000
blocked out ready for shooting down.
This estimate Is from the report of
one of the best mining engineers in
/ the northwest, who thoroughly sam
pied the ore bodies last fall. The vein
Is from 1S to 80 inches In width and
the average assay value Is $27 ton.
There Is 2300 feet Of tunnel work on
the property opening up the ledge to
a depth of 300 feet. Last summer we
constructed two and one-half miles OF
wagon road from the mine to the
South Fork Of the Clearwater river
where we connected with the wagon
road TO Newsome, thus giving us an
outlet to Grangeville and Sites. We
expended approximately $4,000 In de
velopment work last summer and fall.
Our new mill will be paced about
1900 feet below the entrance to the
fnh 10 fhxa saxyf
point to the water supply. At the new
mill we will install one Wiley and
one Deister table for concentrating and
later may use the fl t;::ion process for
treating the ores. II ~ onr intention
TO have the new plant IN operation by
the first of May" The officers of the
Wonder mining company are: Il. H.
Pennington, Dalles, Oregon, president !;
Wilbur Campbell, Grangeville, secre-
tary; l.. l.. McCurdy, Spokane, Wash
ington Peter McGregor, Hooper Wash
ington; James Martin, Colfax, Wash
ington and Wilbur Campbell, Grange
vile, Idaho, directors.
Ten stamps of the mill purchased
at Mullan will be installed at the
New York mine near Newsome as soon
as weather conditions will permit, This
property is owned by Smith Brothers
ana is SAID TO nave produced bullion
last year to the value or $4,000. The
mill was only run at intervals, the
wagon road from the mine to the mill
a distance of three miles, being inn
) passable for transportation a greater
part of the time. The new mill is to
be placed just below the entrance to
the working tunnel and will eliminate
the difficulty and expense of transpor-
, tation which has been serious handi-
cap. The New York is opened to a
! depth of 45G feet and several drifts
have been run ON the vein exposing ore
bodies that average four feet in width
The ore on an average plates SIT per
ton in gold and Is said to carry one
aud one-half per cent tungsten.

probably take field position which will
necessitate his removal from Grange

to office details, disliking the confine-

onerous duties Not having a suitable

have put the matter off from time 10
time. until his recent trip to Missoula
when he once more laid the matter be-
fore them. with the result that they
