FEDERAL HELP
IS POSSIBLE
FOR ROADS
Dean Francis Thompson OF u
of l., Now Investigating
Mining Districts.

A committee representing the local
club has been at work in
with the representatives OF
the Northwest Mining association in an
effort to secure federal aid in building
roads into the mining regions in this
section thereby permitting increased
production of gold. 1t has recently
been given out that gold is now In
cluded in the war metals by the school
of mines of the University of Idaho,
and a survey of the central Idaho
mining districts will be made by Dean
Francis A. Thompson of the university
school of mines. Dean Thompson will
soon head a party to go into the Clear
water mining districts and If favorable
reports are made it is not improbable
that road construction to encourage
the development of the gold producing
properties will result.
In discussing the plans of the
school of mines and the extent of the
trip into the central Idaho mining
districts, Dean Thompson has given
out the following statement at Mos
cow:
"The school of mines geological sur
vey in its Investigations of the war
mineral resources.of the state of Idaho
has decided to include gold in the list
of war minerals, for while neither the
U. S. geological survey nor the U. 5.
bureau of mines has yet done this 1t
is clearly only matter or time until
they will be forced to do so, owing to
the dire need for gold production at
this time.
1T is well known that the three
great undeveloped gold areas of west
ern America are Alaska, Plumas coun-
ty, California, and central Idaho. In
connection with the stimulation OF
gold production from the last named
region we are planning reconnais-
sance survey of gold resources of the
area which includes Elk City, Dixie,
Buffalo Hump, Orogrande, Pierce City
and adjoining camps. This will not
in any sense be a precise geological
survey but rather a general inyestiga-
ton from "a strictly economic point of
view of the possibilities for gold pro-
duction from this area.
"The extent and so far as possible
the value of development as well as
potential ore bodies will be estimated
and ore treatment problems will be
studied on the ground with a view to
their investigation in detail in cooper
alton with the U. S. bureau of mines
at the school of mines laboratories.
Il expect to leave at once fol
Grangeyille and will probably go into
Elk City by way of the trail up the
south fork of the Clearwater along
which doubtless the main transports
ton road for this district will eventu
ally. and we hope before long, bt

investigation Will probably be mad
of the gold-producing area to the nortl
of Boise and in Owyhee county"

cumbed to Cancer.

A letter bearing the sad intelligence
of the death of former superintendent
of schools of Idaho county and also
of the local schools, John j. Staley,
was received Tuesday evening by Mrs.
Amos Markham of this city.
Prof. Staley was compelled to re-
sign his position as city superintend-
ent on account of throat trouble after
visiting specialists on the coast. He
then went to Mayo Bros, at Rochester,
Mimi, his family joining him shortly
afterward at Ashland, Wis. The let
ter, which was written on August 10,
reads as follows:
II am writing this letter for Mrs.
Staley to tell you that Mr.. Staley

Where Was TOwnley?


Where Was TOwnley?
While Dubois was negotiating with
the Nonpartisan League leaders in
Idaho, during the league convention,
and keeping in touch with both Demo
cratic and Nonpartisan League leaders
in Washington, the row occurred over
Townley appearing in Boise.
1t was announced by local league
leaders he would be here. This, it was
known, would result in a protest of
citizens, irrespective of political divis-
ions, as had happened in other states,
on account of Townley's utterances
concerning the war. which had been
alleged to reflect disloyalty
The protest was recorded in Boise,
as expected. 1t was then stated that
Townley would not come, having been
| halted Ell route in Montana. Now it
| is stated that Townley was in Wash
lington all the time helping to fix the
Idaho deal with Democratic leaders
and that he had no intention of coming
to Idaho at that time. 1t is charged
that the announcement of his coming
made by local league leaders, was for
the purpose of stirring up a rumpus
for advertising ends.
/ Samuel's Absence.
/ Another interesting story is related
in that connection. Delegates to the
league convention will recall that there
was considerable delay during part of
the proceedings. That was caused by
the negotiations by wire with Wash
ington.
, During that time II. +. Samuels
named as a candidate for governor
was not in sight. Delegates were told

3OOOSACKS WHEAT AND OATS
DESTROYED BY INCENDIARY
BLAZE THIS MORNING
Grain From 300 Acres Belonging to Percy Puye Went UP
in Smoke; Undoubtedly Set BY Some Mscreant
in League With Kaiser.

At about l a'clock this morning fire
was discovered in a straw pile near
which was a large pile of sacked
grain on the place of Percy Puyeur,
which lies between Luke's Gulch and
Butcher creek, about 10 miles north
and east of this place. The fire was
first seen by Mrs. V. NJ. Ray, who was
up at that early hour attending to the
needs of a sick child. The lady
awakened Mr.. Ray who departed at
once to notify Mr.Puyeur. Mr.. Puyeur
was on the T. ID. Crea place where he
was threshing and Mrs. Puyeur
aroused the neighbors on all sides by
phone and by thirty minutes more
than twenty men were at the scene Of
the conflagration.
The grain had been threshed in four
settings and the fire was first noticed
at the one nearest the Ray home, but
before the men arrived blazes were
soon seen to start at two other set
tings that were visible from the Ray
home. The fourth setting was on
higher ground and apparently was the
last to be fired and from which place
the ground broke off to the banks Of
the Clearwater river.
Mr.. Puyeur, who is operating a
threshing outfit this season, finished
threshing his crop on this place al
Tuesday noon, there being $50 acres
of wheat and 120 acres of oats, the
latter being about the only good seed
oats in the country. There were more
than 5000 brand new sacks of the

Puyeur over $1,000 He has more thar

DUBOIS COMES BACK" TO
MIX IN STATE POLITICS

Boise. Idaho. Aug 13.-Former Sen
ator Fred T. Dubois is back in Idaho
again. This time he abandons the
camoufiage that characterized his
former visit and comes out squarely
for Senator Nugent's election, stating
in interviews that President Wilson
would be pleased if Nugent were sent
back, but giving the impression, with
out expressly stating it, that the presl-
dent insists upon Nugents election.
The anti-Nugent Democrats point
out that the president would be pleas
ed to have any Democrat sent pack
and that if Mr.. Dubois could have his
way there would be two Democratic
senator's credited to Idaho after the
4th of next March. That was the or
iginal plan.
Mr.. Dubois. acting by wire with
Democratic leaders at Washington
and with local and national leaders OF
the Nonpartisan League arranged the
deal. it is now known, by which the
NonpartiSan League deided to enter
the Democratic primaries. An oppor-
tnity was seen of gathering in the
league organization into the Democrat
ic camp under the guise of the league
/ taking over the Democratic party.

deeply concerned over the senatorship>

/ 900 acres of land under lease In
that neighborhood. His crop was in
sured ON basis of $4,000 per acre
loss aside from the sack bill.
That there are pro-Germans in this
neighborhood, Mr. Puyeur is becoming
firmly convinced. Some several weeks
ago some devil in the guise of man set
Percys big car in motion down hill
toward the canyon to the rear OF his
home, and had the machine missed his
residence there would have been little
Of it left to tell the tale. 1t struck
the corner of his house and moved the
building considerably off its founda-
ton. This occurred early one Sunday
morning. AT that time neighbors had
seen a horseman riding away. And
now when the country is in need OF
every bushel of grain that could be
cleaned from the present harvest un-
doubtedly this same kaiserite has re
turned to do what further damage
was in his power. From the fact thai
the fires did not spread more than two
rods beyond the edges of the straw
stacks is convincing evidence that they
were of incendiary origin.
Mr.. Puyeur is of the opinion tina
some of the grain in the center Of thu
piles will possibly make feed, and h
was in the city today to learn from thu
insurance men what was the prope
method to pursue. Before placing hi
sack piles, about two feet of straw wa
placed on the ground to keep the grail
from absorbing moisture from tn
earth and it is quite possible the sack
will be burning from beneath.
