ABOUT A HOTEL
MerTconnected with the First
bill. But those who are interest
ed in tho growth of the place
know that it is wise to go to the
fullest consistent extent to pro
vide a hotel that will not only
meet present renuircmonts, but
utional Bank of the city have that will answer tho purpose for
ken up the proposition to put
a modern hotel in Burns and
e matter should have serious
nsideration of local men who
e asKeil to assise in nnancing
The major portion of the
inunt renuired to put up a
kel to cost between $40,000 and
60,000 is in sight but the busi-
bss men of Burns are asked to
bbscribe some stock toward it.
iiis is a move that should be
icouraged as the time is now
,'ht for such a building. Mod-
fn town builders give a hotel
jo first consideration.
The writer was most favorably
i pressed with this fact during
some time to come, and be a dis
tinctive feature of tho town,
something practically typifying
its sturdiness, its prosperity, and
its future.
Too little attention was paid to
J the hotel question in the earlier
history of Idaho towns. Tho
lessons seen all around us today
show it beyond any question. A
first-class hotel, built on the very
foundation stones of a town, is a
powerful factor in town develop
ment, and it should be a source
of both direct and indirect profit
to the builders.

great work for good roads. Mr.

gineer E. Frank, is going to
make a tour of all the principal

gentlemen will bo in Tho Dalles

thoir trip from there with tho
idea of compiling an accurate
road map. Reliable road infor
mation in this state is very scarce
and with a good map available
tourists' automobiles from all
parts of the United States will bo
almost as plentiful on tho coun

is not all. Up in eastern Oregon
is an enumerator, who is a Dem
ocrat and who has been, during
tho past few days, tho recipient
of many experiences. Ho is,
personally, a great friend of tho
supervisor, and because of his
qualification he was asked to be
ono of tho enumerators, and said
ho did not want tho job. He at
last said that, in case of great
need, or in case there happened
to be a district that no other man
would cover, as a matter of per
sonal friendship ho would take a
district Ho took one, nnd ho
tells about it in tho following
letter to tho superviser:
'Dear Beach I received

Homes scattered. I walked nine
miles to tho Seventeenth precihet
to get half a mile, owing to lack
of bridgeB across tho Powder
river. Not a hotel or public
house in the district. Very diffi
cult to find a place to sleep.
"I walked five miles ono night
over the mountains before find
ing a place to sleep. Roads aro
good, though. Sometimes I walk
three or four miles into or out of
my place to find a rancher. A
number of places have changed

day a child grabbed my hat and
threw it into tho watering trough

it nnd giving it to tho dog.
"There is seldom a table on
which to write, at any houso,

Probably not one farmer in a

at them and Bee how dull they
are. Some" day before haying,
when you have a little time, just
take them all out and sharpen
them. You have no idea how

is to keep calm and go straight
