There seems a lack of interest
among the farmers in subscribing
toward the proposed electric road.
We would like to state right here
that while We believe the building of
the electric road would benefit all
people within the radius of its infiu-
ence, no particular class will receive
the immediate and substantial bene-
fit that the farming class will. Not
only will it insure him a better price
for his grain and products, but by so
doing it will increase the worth of
his land from $40 to $40 per acre.
In no case can the farmer loose.
He does not have to put up one cent
in cash until he realizes in advance
by the building of the road the ben
efts he is asked to pay for. And
for this advance he is asked to sub
scribe for stock and become a part
owner in the road.

Much interest now centers in the
probable action of the federal grand
jury, which meets in Moscow this
week. The government officials
who have been at work on cases
for the past three months, have
been reinforced the last week and
are now working hard, it is pre-
sumed, developing cases for the
consideration of the grand jury.

The prospects now seem bright
for the building of the electric road
between Lewiston, Grangeville and
Nezpercs- The only drawback
seems the jealousy and contention at
Lewiston between the factions,
which have apparently divided them
selves into two camps. Both of
these factions have the means to
build the proposed road and clash
between them seems inevitable. 1t
would be the irony of fate if this en-
terprise, which means SO much to
our country, and which now seem in
a fair way of materializing, should
fall through with for lack of unity
of spirit by those having its welfare
at heart, and perish, Just because
certain strong men of finance wish
its control for selfish motives.
