Hall Confers With
County Commits
SiOners
CALL FOR BIDS
Contractors Inspect the Line
An Important Improve
ment Long Delayed

I"HE LOOKOUT pass road seems
assured this summer. The
county commissioners were in
session yesterday afternoon
and conferred with w. j. Hall. com
missioner of public works. and while
no official announcement has been
made regarding their action, IT is
understood that the commissioners
will join the state in the construction
of the road In fact, Mr. Hail, on
behalf of the state, is proceeding to
advertise for bids for the work and
these will be opened on June 8. On
that date the county commissioners
will hold another special meeting
when it is expected that all arrange
ments viii be completed for award
ing the contract The distance to be
constructed is about five miles ex-
tending from the National mill to
the summit at Lookout pass. The
road will follow the grade establish
ed by the state but will not be COM
pleted at this time in conformity
with the state specifications. The
purpose at this time is to prepare the
road for travel with the financial
means available, and then widen it
and otherwise bring it up to the state
standard when ever the funds are
available II is estimated that the
work should be completed within
three months.
Contractors Inspect Route.
In anticipation of bids being invit-
ed for the work, several large con-
struction companies are preparing TO
submit bids Yesterday II. II. Hunt
and A. F. Dibble, representing Grant,
Smith e Co, of Spokane, and c. c.
Donovan, representing the General
Construction company of Spokane,
were looking over the line. repre-
sentative of the IT. II. Boomer com
pany, of Spokane. inspected the route
some time ago Besides these it is
expected that local contractors will
submit bids. 1t is understood that
the contract will be let for the entire
distance in one bid.
Long Delayed Improvement.
The building of the Lookout pass
road is an Improvement that has long
been desired by the people of this
county and also by the people OF
Mineral county Montana It's con-
struction means that great improve
ment in the grade over the divide,
free from danger and also that the
road will open for travel for at least
two months longer than the old road
during the year While men we're
working shovelng snow from the
present road for weeks past the
Lookout summit has been free from
snow for six weeks or more. The
Mineral county commissioners are
prepared to proceed with construc-
ton from the east side and will meet
the Shoshone county road at the sum-
nit The completion of this road will
prove a great factor in popularizing
the Yellowstone highway as a tour
list route and the expenditure for its
is justified from every
point of view.

FINE OPPORTUNITY FOR
YOUNG MEN TO OBTAIN
A MILITARY TRAINING

Major F. L. Quigley, of the or
ganized reserve corps, has been
advised from United States army
headquarters at San Francisco
regarding the plan for training
young men for the organized re-
serves which should prove highly
attractive to every one who can
take advantage of it, Idaho is in
the Ninth corps area and the
training camps are at Camp Lew
is and The Preside at San Fran
cisco. Major Quigley has appli-
cation cards for this training
which he desires to place in the
hands of all young men who are
interested. The camps are desig-
mated as Citizens Military Train
ing camps and are being institut-
ed to interest a large number of
patriotic young men in military
affairs The training will be for
one month. beginning July 6.
There are three courses of one
month each for three years, but
there is no obligation to remain
in the military service. Appli-
cants must be between the ages
of 16 and 95. physically fit of av-
erage intelligence and of good
moral character. The govern
ment pays transportation and all
other expenses. In addition TO the
military training, much attention
is given to athletics. 1t is alto
gether a fine opportunity for pa
triotic and ambitious young men
and the government should be
swamped with applications.

STEAM SHOVEL HANDLED
SNOQUALMIE PASS SNOW
INFORMATION MAY PROVE VAL

methods used in other places for the
removal of snow from the highways.
The use of INT for blasting the snow
no doubt aided materially in melting
the snow. while the spirit that
prompted so or more men to volun-
teer their services in shoveling the
snow from the roadway was fine and
deserves the highest commentator.
These efforts opened the road to ira
vel several weeks before it would 9TH
erwise have been passable However,
there are more expeditions meth
DDS of handling snow upon which it
would be well to secure Information
before the breaking up of another
winter True. we will probably have
the road open over Lookout pass be-
fore the snow flies again which it is
hoped will render the removal Of snow
unnecessary, but as this is a snow
country it is of advantage to know
the most approved methods of han
ding snow in order to be prepared
for emergency.
Opening Snoquamie Pass.
In this connection the manner of
opening Snoqualmie pass in Washing
ton is interesting J. p. Hall, former
ly county surveyor who has given
much attention to the highways, made
inquiry regarding the manner in
which the snow was handled, and re-
ceived the following reply from c. o.
Eidal, of Ellensburg, maintenance
Of permanent high
ways in Kittitas county:

ability. You could find out the full
from Boss & Hampshire,
contractors, who had a contract to
clear eight miles of road through the
Snoqualmie pass-four miles in King
and four miles in Kittitas
a depth of from to s
feet and u feet wide for $4,000. They
used a steam shovel mounted on a
tractor, which worked to
perfection. The exact number of
days I do not know. as they
were delayed by weak bridges. etc.
'Kittitas county cleared about eight
miles of snow for a depth of one to
FIVE feet and just wide enough for
cars to pass through. making passing
places at different turns. We used a
Best caterpillar 60 and a 1O-foot King
grader making the first cut as far
out as possible so as to have room to
place the snow as we neared the road
bed. The exact cost has not been fig
ured up. as we have just completed
the work Time required. about 20
days"

TO Shelter
Fred w Galloway visited the Sid

was most favorably impressed with
the showing exposed. He said the
drift that is being run on the ore at
the place Of discovery was in only
about 20 feet and showed about two
feet of lead-silver ore of shipping
grade. There was quite an accumu-
lation of this class Of ore on the dump
which will soon be moved to the
Bunker Hill smelter. Besides this
high grade there is three or four feet
of lower grade ore. Mr.. Papesh. the
manager Of the property, estimates
that the shipping ore will average so

is understood that drifting will soon
begin on the vein from the main Sid
ney tunnel which will attain a depth
of about 300 feet beneath the surface
workings.
