ATHENA SOLVES PROBLEM

Athena's street improvements con-
tinue to be the text OF considerable
mention in papers throughout the north
west. In addition to increasing the
valuation Of Athena property the town
is gaining much favorable mention and
extensive advertising as the result OF
this street making enterprise. AS an in
stance we quote the following from a
recent issue OF the Spokesman Review:
"Athena, Ore, seems to have found a
solution to the poor street problem.
It is problem that every small town
has to meet, or, rather, ought to meet;
for, if there is any thing that makes a
town unattractive or acts as handicap
upon its trade it is bad thoroughfares.
'There are many communities that
drift along, paying little attention to the
principal streets except to growl when
bad weather makes them impossible.
The thoroughfares are deep dust in
summer, with mud to the axles In win
ter. The town feels that 1t can not af-
ford to indulge in any sort of paving,
and year after year the main trade ar
teries serve but poorly to fulfill the
purpose for which they were intended
"In Athena, however, these condi-
tions do not exist. The property own
ers there have inaugurated work on
grading, guttering and putting rock on
nine blocks OF the main business streets
and will make it a hard, solid driveway
that sheds water like roof and is in
good condition for traffic summer and
winter.
"This work has been done under the
ultcCLlOu VI tu0 tOWuS Wllh nO Outldy
for contracting middle men, and the
expense has amounted to no more than
80 cents to 81 per front foot The town
owns its crusher and quarry, and rock
is placed on the street 80 per cent cheap
er than contractors offered to do it.
Grading and guttering bringing the cost
up to about 81 front foot, and for this
reasonable outlay the town is provided
with fine business street that is nearly
as servicable as the asphalt, stone, brick
or wood paved thoroughfares Of the
large cities,
ut is not strange, therefore, that the
people of Athena are proud OF their
good streets or that other towns of the
Inland Empire are making inquiries as
to how it is done"

MUCH INTEREST in
MEETING TONIGHT
The Public Eye Turning From
Local to National
Politics.

The eyes of the local politicians are all
turning toward the national situation
now. and interest in the coming presi-
Dental election is growing.
X The Parker Club organized tho other
night is growing rapidly in membership.
and Mr., Thomas 3. Hicks. the treasurer
of the organization added long list OF
names yesterday. He also gave out a
large number OF Parker buttons, and
these were displayed on many a Demo-,
cratic lapel last night.
The club Is going to be powerful fac
tor In favor OF the New York jurists cam
paign In this State, and some Of the most
prominent Democrats here are becoming
members.
The meeting OF the City Democratic
Committee tonight promises to be Of in
terest and Importance. The question of
the mode OF selecting delegates to the
State convention will be the chief one
under consideration. and 1t looks as II
the primary method will be adopted Il
There is also talk of placing on the
the voter as to whether or not the State
primary principle OF making party nomi-
nations shall be maintained.
This Is certain to provoke fight, and
the two factions In the body will line
up on the subject.
There will be contest over the matter
OF the method of selecting the delegates
as well. but there is little doubt that the
primary method will be chosen. The
question OF expense is the main one in
v.lved, but the opinion seems to be that
there will be no trouble in raising the
money required.
The attendance OF members is ee-
pected to be large, and a great many
local politicians will be on hand. Chair
man Doherty and other prominent mem
bers favor holding a primary in prefer
ence to ward meetings.
