SUSPENSION BRIDGE.
Now Spans the North Fork Short Dis
tance Above Prichard.

Under the direction Of E. c. Pulaski,
district forester. of this city, the gov
ernment forest service has completed
the construction of a suspension bridge
across the North Fork Of the Occur
d'A1ene river at point about quar-
ter Of a mile above Prichard. The
former bridge was carried out by high
water last winter. The new bridge
is suspended upon piers 2S feet above
high water mark, and having no pier
in the channel it is believed that 1t
will escape damage from future fioods'
The main span is ITS feet in length
and another span leading from the
bank is 70 feet. The bridge Is not
wide enough to accommodate vehicles
and is designed only for the use OF
footmen and pack horses.

IDAHO CARBONATE HILL.
Shaft is Down Almost 400 Feet
Underground lmprovements.

w, Earl Greenough, manager of the
Idaho Carbonate Hill Consolidated
Mining company, is quoted this week
as stating that the shaft on the prop
erty is now down 365 feet and is be-
ing extended at the rate of about 115
feet per month A new blacksmith
shop, 16 by rs feet, will be provided
under ground to prevent damage from
possible snowslides. The gulch in
which the tunnel has it's portal was
the scene of a disastrous slide last
winter, doing great damage at the
Reindeer and killing the manager. The
Idaho Carbonate is providing against
serious results in the event another
slide comes down.

Silver Rance

After prosecuting 70 feet and cut

drifting is now in progress upon very
favorable mineral showing, according
to a statement from E. M. Burt, man
ager Of the Silver Range Mining &
Milling company, which is developing
a group of claims on the west fork Of
Placer creek. The company owns a
group of claims joining the Chicago
Boston on the east and presumably
covering the same vein. Samples
brought to the city are described as
quartz and iron with particles of ga
lena. Mr.. Burt says that work will
soon be suspended until spring.

1t would be difficult to select more
desirable trio for commissioners OF
Shoshone county than the candidates
selected by the republican party. In
the first place, each Of them Is bona
fide resident of the district he aspires
to represent. Two of them, Fremont
S. Rowe, Of the first district, and DR..
D. e. Keys, of the third. have served
as members of the board of county
commissioners before and the record
they made then is their best recon-
mendation. The candidate from the
second district, e. w. Miller, has never
held public office, but his record as
a private citizen marks him as a man
admirably qualified for the position he
seeks. All are successful men, have
resided many years in the county, and
have the confidence and respect OF
all who know them. Under their ad-
ministration all the roads of all the
county would receive the attention to
which they are entitled, and the public
funds of the county would be dis
I,bursed in a business like manner and
in keeping with the progressive spirit
of the people of the county.

GOVERNORS 36 STATES
IN ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Mr. Baker Says War Has Proved

State Governments.

Annapolis, Md, Dec 19.-Thirty-
six state governors and governors
elect in annual conference held here
were told by Secretary Baker that
war had proven the indispeasibilitv
of strong state governments in peace

agencies for mobilizing and demobi-
lizing armies. finding work for re-
turning soldiers and developing bet
ter methods of physical training for

pleaded that state authorities give
cities more freedom to work out
their individual local problems.
Early disbandment OF the draft
boards and state branches of the
council Of national defense as fed
eral agencies was advocated by the
secretary who urged. however, that
both remain in existence informally
to aid local authorities in solving
problems Of the readjustment period.
Secretary Houston addressing the
governors, suggested that state Cow
ernors ascertain Immediately what
farming lands might be available
for use of returning soldiers. He
cautioned. however, against throw

agricultural pursuits without pre-
vious experience.
Reconstruction problems, particu-
1arly those relating to labor, educa-
tion and public lands will be dis
cussed by the governors at their
meetings.
Secretary Baker said his principal
purpose in addressing the conference
ives to express thanks for the re-
markable manner in which state and
local authorities through defense
councils, draft boards and other Of
ficials, had carried out the federal
governments wishes throughout the
war.
This demonstration OF the ability
OF democracy to carry out great
undertakings. using its constituted
authorities, is one OF the greatest
lessons OF the war" the secretary
said.
Instead OF adding to the aggre-
gate of centralized power this war
tas strengthened state governments
and made them more indispensable
than ever in our scheme of govern
ments"

WILD RUMORS ABOUT
IMPURITIES IN WATER
MADAME GOSSIP RUNS RIOT IN
LOOSE TALK CONCERNING AL
LEGGED CONDITIONS OF clTY's
LIQUID SUPPLY.

Making a mountain out of a MOLE
hill is only a brief before-breakfast
mental exercise compared with an
imaginary slaughter of the entire
population of a city of seven thous-
and people through the agency OF
the invisible kingdom of deadly
germs, particularly of the typhoid
species. Yet this was the job Mad
anne Gossip undertook to perform the
other day when she launched reports
to the effect that the city's water
supply was polluted, that the city
health authorities had found in one
specimen of the water enough germs
to kill all the people In Lee county
and have some to spare for ex-
perimental purposes on the more
hardy and longer-lived politicians OF
st. Francis county. 1t was alleged
that when the superintendent OF the
water system had the reservoir
cleaned out on Sunday last the putri-
fled carcasses of several stray dogs,
whose owners had noted their abb
sence, were found and that a sub
stantial quorum of Marianna's feline
population had committed suicide by
drowning all their martial troubles
in the city's reservoir. 1t has been
limited that perhaps the local meat
shortage was due to the probability
that porkers had rooted out Of their
pens and sought surcease from sor-
row byo joining the dogs and the cats
in water voyage to animal glory.
Willing tongues eagerly seized up
on these sweet morsels of diet that
are SO appetizing to the gossipers
and had 1t not been for the quick ap-
plication of the antidote OF truth 1t
is probable many people would have
succumbed to hydrophobia or fright.
The city authorities were fully cog
infant of the fact that the water
was not up to standard; that 1t hal
an unpleasant odor and a worse
taste. The reservoir was thoroughly
cleaned Sunday and some sediments
and foreign substances of harmless
nature were found, but nothing was
discovered that could be an injury
to public health. 1t has since been
determined that the new pipes and
the escapement of some oil from the
new pumps are responsible for the
odor and the bad taste Of the water.
Steps are being taken to relieve the
situation and within a few days 1t
is thought the water will be all right.
In the meantime, so far as the city
health officer now knows, the water
may be used with perfect safetv-
Several days ago the health depart
ment sent a specimen Of the water

but the bottle was broken In transit

Secretary Houston said there Is
every reason to anticipate increased
farm yields this year. He added tnat
the promise does not justify relaxed
efforts for greater production and
for greater conservation and called
upon the people of towns and cities
to realize that the farmer cannot
work miracles and lend him the as
sistance needed at harvest time.
Realization of a winter wheat crop
as large as that forecast would bring
this years harvest of that grain as
a third largest ever gathered. the
estimate is 12,50O,O00 bushels more
