August 23, an important confer
ence was held in Lewiston between
members of the Lewiston Commer
cial Club and representatives of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce, the
object of wbicb was to further the
early construction of the Lewis anti
Clark Highway.
The -meeting was brought about
by the Lewiston Commercial Clul
and the people of the entire Clear
water Valley are under obligations
to that organization for Us activity
In this matter which is of so great
moment to the whole region.
Mr. M. J. Corrigan, enatrman oi
the good roads and tourist commit
tee of the Seattle Chamber of Com
merce, stated that the purpose of
the visit of the Seattle delegation
was to promote the completion or
the highway and among other things
said; "The Seattle Chamber ot
Commerce is going to aid you in
every way possible in working out
a solution of the Lolo pass highway.
We come to consult y- i and to ad
vise with you as to what remains to
be done and the best way to do it."
This is most cheering news. Al
ready \ver a quarter of a million
dollars have been expended on the
highway. Nearly 25 miles of thé
road, including a bridge across the
Middle Fork that cost over $30,000,
have been built. Definite location
surveys for 25 miles more have been
made. The entire project has been
approved by the U. S. Forest Service
and also by the State of Idaho.
There now remains the providing of
j
necessary funds and the order of
the Secretary of Agriculture for the
construction. Legislation now pend
ing in Congress contemplates ap
propriations of five million dollars

of Its schools awakens more unity
of purpose in any community than

The Elk River school has been
conducted with splendid success for
many years and has been under

attention to their duties, with the

stories of men who forgot this pre- »
caution in handling dynamite and
other dangerous thingB, yet dyna
mite and gun-cotten and nitroglycer
in and even the justly ctltbrated T.
N. T. are perfectly tractable when
proper consideration is paid to their
peculiar forcefulneas In resenting
rough handling. Men who have i
associattd for years with these ex
plosives never—or almost never—
forgot this supersensitiveness. It la
worth remembering.
The picric acid for distribution
has been allotted to tht States ac
cording to areas of cut-over lands
therein. An agency will be desig
nated In each State to coop: rats [
with the department in he distribu
tion in that State, and the agrtcul
ural college in each State has been 1
asked to act in this capacity. All
individual orders for the explosive
should be placed with the State
agencies. The Bureau of Public
Roads will not receive individual or
ders or remittances. Such orders
will be combined-by the state agen
cies into carload lots, as less-than
carload shipments can not be made
owing to high freight rates.
The Department of Agriculture
has arranged for the distribution of
picric acid to be used for blasting
stumps or similar work on the farm,
through the University of Idaho. It
is necessary that a car load consist
ing of 24,000 pounds be ordered
with individual orders for the whole 1
amount and no single order to ex- '
ceed 1000 pounds.
The acid is a slow explosive and
considered more powerful than a
low per centage dynamite. It can
be laid down at some wwntral rail
road point in Idaho at from ten to
twelve cents per pound.
If parties desiring to order this
acid will send their names and the
amount needed to the Bank of Oro
fino these orders will be sent for
ward, provided that a car load can
be arranged for. There have already
been a number who have placed
their orders. Write or call by
phone.
Instructions for the use of this
are on file with the bank.
