DIVISION SUPERINT ENDENTS.

The Oregon Short Line is being
thoroughly recognized in all of its
departments. The Idaho Division
is now divided and G. A. Boies, Esq,
is made the new superintendent OF
the northern division. that is from
McCammon to Butte.
We congratulate Superintendent
Boies on his promotion. He is un-
doubtedly the most popular official
of the road in Idaho; he is another
Calvin always kind and courte-
Gus to employees and a perfect gen
tleman in his dealings with the
public. We regret to lose him
from our division, but we are con-
soled with the fact, that our loss is
his gain.

PUBLIC ROADS.

Our county commissioners have
passed an order directing the vari-
Gus Road Overseers of the county
to enforce the road laws. If they
fail TO do their duty it is the inten-
ton OF the Board to remove them
and appoint others who will obey
the law.
We called attention some time
ago to the fact that the road laws
were being constantly violated
with impunity.
There is q certain class of swine
in this county who cannot conceive
that other people than themselves
have any rights to the public high
ways. These swine think nothing
of fencing up public road with
out leaving an outlet for the pub
lie; they deliberately turn their
water INTO the pubnc highways and
thereby obstruct travel
From now on all Road overseers
will DO their duty or every one of
them will be removed. We stated
once before and repeat it whit en-
phasis, that whenever some miser-
able hog fences in a public road,
it is the duty of every good citizen
to cut down his fence and drive |
through on the road. Several |
fences have been cut lately and |
more will be cut in the future.
We hope everybody will see that
the Road Overseers obey the new
order. |
