put up $4,000 on the bridge, which
would have furnished the means for

INCREASING FOREST FIRE
FIGHTERS AS PRECAUTTON.

noresC supervisor McHarg put ON
ten new men the first of August as
supplementary fire fighters, and Ave
more will go on within a few days.
Not that there have been any new
fires started as yet since the fire at
the Smith Bros mine in Ten Mile was
gotten under control, but as a precau-
tionary step on account of the extreme
dry weather and the consequent liza
bility Of fires starting at any time.
-Four of the new men viii be put to
work on the South Fork trail which
suffered such hardships during the
flood period in May, getting it in shape
for use again. Four will go to the
brakes of the Salmon river south Of
Buffalo Hump, where the very best
late grazing Is found; while the others
will be scattered around at convenient
places where they can be utilized to
the best advantage temporarily and
can readily be called into action in case
of fire.
The Missoula department announces
that on account of the long drouth a
serious situation has been brought
about in the Montana and Idaho for
est5, and that 100 fires have sprung
into existance within ten days in those
two states.

Evergreen Party Carried Away
BY Scenery But Cussed
the Road.
.EATTRACTIVE ROUTE
For National Highway and
Will Recommend It To
Government.

Fred LYDIA and Walter McAdams,
returned last Thursday night from
New Meadows where they took t.le
Evergreen Highway officials In their
tour of the country from the north
west to the southeast. The expedition
left this place at O'Clock In the after
noon Wednesday, and the gentlemen
were delivered at New Meadows I'm
good repair at i o'clock that night,
the trip being made without Eishap,
not even the puncturing Of a tire oc-
curing to impede their progress.
The travellers were simply carried
away with the unsurpassed scenery
which the Salmon river valley affords,
pronouncing it the equal of anything
they had ever witnessed They were
surprised that such an attractive route
for the national highway could exist
and be kept so completely from the
knowledge of the travelling public
They praised the scenery and cussed
the road. all of them agreeing that
they had never seen as poor an excuse
for a Estate road' as the Salmon river
road furnishes. Chadwick Ayers, the
moving picture representative, declar-
ed that he had Travelled from almost
as far north as the Arctic explorers
and ventured to a few degrees this side
the torrid zone, and that he would
make afiidavit that the Salmon river
road was the worst he had ever been
called upon to navigate. 1t was the
unanimous verdict that If there was
any section on earth i'm need Of road
improvement, 1t Is the Salmon country.
The gentlemen were equally unan-
imous in their expression that when
the state highway Is once completed
there viii be no more popular route
for auto excursionists In the northwest,
or anywhere else, for that matter,
and they will be enthusiastic boosters
for the adoption of this route for the
extension of the Evergreen Highway,
and VIII also recommend ii to the gov
ernment for an authorized military
route
The travellers complimented the two
chauffeurs on their proficiency and
Judgment, but informed them that had
they known the kind Of road they were
to travel they would have compelled
them to produce their chauffeur license
before embarking on their crafts and
themselves to their care
The boys were given the choice of
cash in payment for their services, or
a new set all around of Goodyear
tires. which would cost $120. They
chose the latter, and were promised
that the tires would he sent to them
as soon as proper representations
could be made to the company.
