sTITEs-ELK POSTAL ROAD.
Business Maa of Sites Appeared Be

The Spokane News Bureau has sent
out the following letter: =
Transportation problem I'm the 90
mile stretch of mountain road from
Sites. Idaho, to the mining districts
OF Elk City have been outlined to
the Spokane Chamber of Commerce by
Phil Hartman, hardware and imple-
mont man of Sites. Mr. Hartman IL
urging support to the plan 10 improve
the road
No railway exists between the two
towns and heavy freight traffic
moves to the mines The parcel post
law proves a boon for Elk City but
has taxed the government to point
where 1t loses ON the business between
the two points and, according to Mr.
Hartman, the postal authorities have
been forced To restrict parcel post de
livery TO 200 pounds daily per indivi-
dual.
In August. September, October and
November 353, 449 pounds of mail were
carried to Elk City," said Mr.. Hart
man. 1t cost the government over
S706S to transport this mail and it re-
ceived less than half that amount. The
road climbs from 1850 feet elevation
at Sites to 1000 feet at Elk City, and
along the way In turn, touches the
high spots as follows: 2600 feet, 1900
feet. 1000 feet, 6T00 feet, 5000 feet and
5000 feet
A water grade road is planned which
will cut the distance to 80 miles. OF
this 30 miles are through the forest
reserve and the forestry service has
appropriated $4,000 for this part of
the road. The new alignment follows
the south fork of the Clearwater river.
OF the Sther 20 miles 10 are in good
shape, Idaho county has offered to give
$1,000 If Sites win raise another $1,000
to connect the roads tapping the gold
and copper and agriculture districts
near Elk City."-Enterprise

ORGANIZATION OF REALTY
MEN

c. NJ. Butler of Sites is in Portland,
Ore, attending a meeting of the Real
Estate Dealers Association, of which
he is a member of the executive board.
Mr. Butler said that there was no
question but an association similar to
the one in Portland would be formed,
composed of central Idaho real estate
dealers with headquarters at Lewiston,
Idaho. No doubt as Mr.. Butler ex-
planned an organization of this char
acter would benefit not only the real
estate dealer, but communities as well,
as no INSCRIPTIONS man would be
allowed to become a member and as
heretofore in many cases prey upon
people who have been seeking homes.
Mr.. Butler said that he would be alb
sent from his Office in Sites until the
9th of this month.-Kooskia Noun

GRIT VS.. GUMPTION.

A valuable bull belonging to Billy
Brockman met sudden death in the
local railway yards last Friday even
ing when it took notion to butt the
passenger train off the track. The
animal was being driven into town
with bunch Of cattle and had been
started for the stock yards. 1t broke
away and had been rounded up again
just as the train pulled into the station.
Seeing the headlight the excited ami
NAL decided here was something to
wreak its anger on and launched itself
down the track at the approaching
train. The engine was equipped with
a snow pillow which threw the animal
clear off the track and it soon died
from its injuries. The bull suffered a
broken jaw, three broken legs and sew
eral broken ribs. The animal was val
ued at about $125.-Chronicle

after two Polled Angus bulls to add to
their herd on the Craig Spencer ranch

are full bloods. were shipped to Boise
from Nebraska with a bunch purchased
by Eagleson Bros, the well known
breeders of that section, and George
went down to bring them home. He

single car with plenty Of feed, they re-
quired little attention and suffered

covered movement to abandon the

thought she was beaten and advo-
cate route from Boise to Emmett
and from there across the summit to
Indian Valley, in Adams county, and
then on through Council and to
New Meadows. Another scheme de-
veloped later which for boldness was
the climax. This was for the enlarge
ment' of the state highway commission
IN order that two more members
might be appointed and then the work
OF the present commission and the
state highway engineer nullified and
changed.
On the recommendation of the com
mittee Messrs. Williams and Stewart
