COST OF BUILDING
NEW ROAD HEAVY

THE building of this road involved
a great deal of expensive and difficult
construction. Some short sections
have been very costly, but the heavy
work and large expense on these sec
lions was decided upon because 1t les
sened the mileage, made the road safer
and more permanent, avoided long
grades, and figures a lesser total cost
than If the longer route with the heavy
grades had been adopted.
AS stated above, the section from
! Weiser to Round valley, slightly more
than 100 miles, is in excellent condi-
ton. Between Cambridge and Coun-
ell the highway passes through the
Mesa orchards, one of the largest fruit
producers in the state. North of
Council the highway enters the Weiser
River canyon, which it follows to Tam
arack. This canyon Is well timbered.
From Tamarack to New Meadows is
rolling timbered country North from
New Meadows the highway follows the
Little Salmon river through meadow
and arabic lands to Round valley.
where it enters the Little Salmon can
y0n, which is followed to the confiu-
ence of the Little Salmon and the
Main Salmon rivers at higgins. The
Little Salmon canyon is heavily tim
bered at its southerly end. The timber
becomes thinner and the canyon deeper
and more rugged towards higgins.
From higgins TO the mouth of White
bird creek the highway follows the
main Salmon river, which it crosses
about mile north Of higgins.
IMPOSING SCENERY

''The Salmon canyon shows some of
the most rugged and imposing scenery
in Idaho. Old hydraulic placer work
ings are in evidence, throughout its
length. From the mouth of Whitebird |
creek this water course is followed |
through Whitebird for about four |
miles, at which point a series of loops |
on a maximum percent grade carry |
the road to the summit, approximately |
1000 feet above the Salmon river at |
the mouth of Whitebird creek. The

Highly Priced Jewel Is Not to Be
Found Within the Shell of the
Edible Oyster.


Occasionally a pearl is found in
an ordinary edible oyster, but it has
little or no market value except as
curiosity, says the Pathfinder. Pearls
are formed by foreign matter, such
as a grain of sand lodging between
mantle and shell Of the oyster. Sand
acts as an irritant and induces in
creased secretion, resulting in pearl
on mantle. Pearl resembles shell on
which it is found. You cannot gather
figs from thistles. Hence it is futile
to expect valuable pearls to grow on
Opaque shell of edible oyster. Only
pearl oysters and certain mollusks
have sufficient irideseence and
translucehce to produce most valu-
able pearls. Pearl oysters are of a
different family than edible oysters.
They grow in the Red sea, Indian
ocean, Gulf of California, Caribbean
sea and warmer parts of the South
Pacific,

Would BE Hard to Trace the Real
Originator of the Compass used
by Mariners.

The origin of the four cardinal
points of the mariners compass
dates back to the invention of the
compass itself and probably even
beyond that. The name South is
believed to be derived from s.sun,v
IS being the direction in which the
sun appears during the heat of the
day; north is, of course, the oppo-
site direction, where the sun does
not appear, but the origin of the
word lie unknown. East comes
from a root that means dawn re-
ferripg again to the sun, while
west is from a root meaning
abiding place." also referring to
the sun. The other points of the
compass, northeast, north-northeast,
northeast by north, etc, are easily.
derived from the cardinal points. It
is not known for certain who in
vented the compass; the Chinese,
Arabians and others are given credit
by various authorities A native of
Naples, Flavio Gioja, introduced the
suspension of the needle in 1902,
first using it on ship. In honor Of
the king Of Naples, Charles Of An
jou, he marked the north point of his
compass with the royal feur-de-lys,
the symbol that is still borne by
mariners compasses among all ma
lions. Exchange.

Memory Of Harcun-Al-Raschid Has
Lcng Been Held in Veneration
by the Mehammedans.

The title to the name of Haroun-
al-Raschid the just is sullied by his
extirpation of the generous, perhaps
the innocent, Barmecides. Yet he
could listen to the complaint of a
poor widow who had been pillaged
by his troops, who dared, from a
passage in the Koran, to threaten the
inattentiye despot with the judgment
of God and posterity.
Haroun-al-Raschid was the third
sultan of the line of ,Ambascides. He
was contemporary of Charlemagne,
to whom he sent an embassy, with a
present of. famous clock, which,
when put in motion by means of
clepsydra, pointed out the hours,
struck them by dropping little balls
on a bell or drum, and caused little
doors to open, and a number of
knights on horseback to come out as
correspondent with the hours. He
was the last of the caliphs who made
! pilgrimage to Mecca, and he Wis
tied the prophets shrine eight diff
ferent times. He was caliph of Bag
lad, 786-809.
