PLANS DEN ELOPMENT

+. S. Rice, a mining engineer OF
Lewiston, Idaho, gave very inter
esting outline last Friday evening to
the stockholders of the Pullman Min
ing & Milling Co., OF plans OF his
company for the development of
hydro-electric power at the horse
shoe bend of the Salmon river, about
al miles above Lewiston. His COM
pany has obtained the water power
rights at that point, and it is estl-
mated that many thousands Of horse

sary fall being provided by tunneling

The state mine inspector Of Idaho,
Robert n. Bell, in his report for
1917, at page 70, says:
Extending south from Lewiston,
Idaho, along the eastern fall of the
great Snake River canyon, and ex-
tending back from the canyon for 10
to 20 miles east, and for $50 miles
south from Lewiston in Idaho, there
exists one of the most persistently
mineralized copper belts in America. "
The stockholders of the Pullman
Mining & Milling Co. feel very fOrtu-
nate that they have secured copper
property at the most advantageous
point in this great copper belt, be-
ing the triangular tract of 200 acres
of land between the two great gashes

BOOST HARD ROADS
APPEAL GOES OUT TO
la SALE CO. VOTERS
LA SALE GOOD ROADS ASsociA.
TIoN ASKING FOR SUPPORT OF
s6o,o0oooo BOND PROPOSITIONS
FoUR.mlNUTE MEN TO BE CALL.
ED FOR SERVICE.

The La Sale County Cool Roads
Association is sending out its appeals
to every organization in the county
to indorse the 10000, 900 hard road
bond proposition. Letters are being
sent out to every public official, and
during the week before election the
four. minute men will direct their pa.
triotic efforts to the cause of good
roads.
Philip Saunders, president Of the
La Sale County Good Roads Associa-
tion, asks that attention be directed to
two facts in connection with the good
roads campaign:
|. A favorable vote means that the
total number of votes cast in favor
of the bond issue must be equal to a
majority Of all the votes cast for
members OF the general assembly and
that II voter fails to vote for the
bond issue, his failure to do so virtu-
ally amounts to vote against the
bond issue and permanent hard roads
for Illinois.
2. The voter must clearly under
stand that no bonds will be issued or
sold and that no work will be com
mencei until after the war is won,
and when the boys come home the
machinery will be ready to start a
great general improvement that will
utilize surplus labor and materials.
President Explains Project.
In this connection the statement of
William G. Edens, president OF the
state association, is of interest:
every voter OF Illinois should ac-
quaint himself with the merits Of the
good roads bond issue question on the
little ballot in the election Of Nov. },
The fact that this question is put up
to the people for a decision is a dis
inctive demonstration of the differ
ence between our form OF govern
ment and that in Germany. The war
is teaching us a new realization o
the value of our citizenship and the
man who has the interest Of the
state at heart will vote either yes
or no on the good roads bond issue
He will no. let the matter slide by
neglecting to vote.
The man who neglects to vote il
effect casts vote that is counted
against the proposition, because i
must receive a majority of all votes
cast az the election.
A Simple Proposition.
What IS the bond issue proposi
ton? A very simple thing to under
stand. The state proposes to tak'
the license fees paid in by automo
bile owners and construct system o
4,S00 miles of permanent state roads
connecting all the counties and i'm
portant cities and towns. Under tn
license fees fixed by law, approx
mately $l47000,000 will be paid b
motorists to the state In the mex
twenty-five years, Instead of wal
ing to do the work year by year, tn
proposition is to take 60,O00,000 a
soon as convenient after the war an
, build the 4,S00mi.e system in a perio
of five years, or thareabouts.
