OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
THAT ATLANTA ROAD

At a meeting of the state high
ways commission yesterday it was
decided to readvertise at once for
bids for Atlanta road improvements,
as the only bid received did not
come within the funds provided.
The bid received was from ]. w.
Smith, as follows: Construction of
unfinished portion of road, $18, :
$50, repair on present road $500.
The amount of money that has
cen raised by the state, county,
forest service and other interests
concerned for the improve ments is
SIS, 1000, and it is the OPT MON of
members of the commi ssion that
bids can be secured under that
amount.
State Engineer Stephenson after
the meeting yesterday left to visit
the Elk City-Ore-G wagon
road and view the work in progress
there and to attend meeting of
the road commission. Before re-
turning to Boise he will meet
with the Meadows-P ayettc wagon
road commission.
In referring to the above from
the Boise Statesman party who is
thoroughly familiar with the
country to be travcrsed by the pro-
posed road says that the amount
submitted in the bid is not too high
for the construction of the road
called for. The country is unusual
ly rough, material and provisions
will have 10 be hauled long way
and the labor will be an expensive
item to be considered. No, the
bid is not too high for a good first
class road that will be open to
traffic and fit for the hauling of
heavy loads.
Boise has been agitating this
road for number of years, but the
proposition has never worked up
very much popular enthusiasm.
Popular subscriptions have been Sc
licited from time to time and the
Forest Reserve appealed to and
finally the sum of SIS, 900 pledged.
But when they felt that they had
enough to carry the work through
they find themselves short several
thousand dollars.
The traffic and business Boise
is trying to reach by this new
proposed road is the business going
through Mountain Home at the
present time. But the roads are in
dangerous condition in places and
almost entirely impossible the
greater part of the year. If this
business is of such vast importance
to Boise IT is certain that il is
worth an effort on the part of Noun
tian Home citizens TO retain IT if
the repairing of this road will do
SO. The road to Atlanta is already
through and all that it needs is
grading and repairing at a few
points to put it in condition for the
heavy freighters that are going
out every day during the summer.
1t would require only small
amount of the sum to hold the bus
mess that will be loss unless some
thing is done to improve the roads.

A LEGEND OF WORMS.
Prophecy Of the Jewisss Gage and Its
Strange FuifiIIment.

Prophecy of the Jewish Gage and Its
Strange FuifiIIment.
Rashi lived during the time Of the
first crusade, and one Of the legends
Of Worms connects him with this
event. He was one day seated with
his pupils, when knight. full pano-
piled, made his way into the school
house and with threatening mien thus
addressed him: rabbi, thy name fer
wisdom has reached me and fam would
learn my fate from thee. have
assembled a host wherewith / purpose
to drive the infidel Turk from the Holy
City, but before set out | demand to
know whether my undertaking will
succeed. Answer me at once. have
no time for delay
The rabbi replied: ",Thou wouldst
learn the future from me? Alas, am
unable to foretell it. God alone can
say what the future will bring forth.
have no powers OF divination, and
my faith forbids the assumption Of
them. Pray, therefore. forgive me If
am unable to accede to thy request"
RABBI" exclaimed the knight in
tones of passion, Il will listen to no
refusal. Well I know that thou canst
foretell the future il thou wilt AS
truly as / am Godfrey of BouiIlon, so
truly do promise to protect thee and
thy community from all harm, even If
thou shouldst foretell disaster to me.
But IL it is a successful issue that thou
hast In store for me will right roy
ally reward thee ia addition on my re-
turn. What? Art thou silent? Speak
or by heaven my sword shall open thy
mouth wide enough
MY fege lord" answered the jew
ish sage, there is only one above who
can penetrate the future. Unless I
would deceive thee. which / dare not
do, at most can but venture an opin-
lon of what will happen TO thee. Thy
undertaking viii only succeed in part.
OF thy immense host but three men
and one horses head will return In
safety With blanched countenance
Godfrey of Bouillon turned to depart,
exclaiming as he went, "Take care,
Jew, If return to find thou hast de-
ceived me!'' Godfrey of Bouillon went
up to Jerusalem, captured ID and be-
came its first king
But his success was short lived. and
the tide of war turned against him.
Defeat and disease decimated his vast
host until there remained but four rid
ers of them all who made their way
to Worms. THE Jew has not spoken
the TRUTH" he remarked as the gates
Of the city came In sight. 'He said
we should return with only three rid
ers and horses head. He has lost his
reward" They rode up to the gates
and demanded admission. The massive
door behind was raised, and they pass
ed through. But as the fourth rider
was about to follow it fell down again
with heavy thud, decapitating the
horse and leaving its trunk and burden
outside the city. Conduct me to the
rabbi" said Godfrey of Bouillon. Il
must see him at once" But the rabbi
had long since left Germany.

LAPSE OF REASONING.
Instances by Two of the Worlds

Instances by Two of the Worlds
Greatest Benefactors.
To illustrate the kind Of lapse of rea-
soning power from which great in
ventors are known to suffer, like that
under influence of which Sir Isaac
Newton cut one hole in wall to let a
cat pass through and then small
hole for the kitten, an old story in the
life of Morse will answer well Long
before he invented the telegraph Morse
was known to the officers Of the patent
Office as persistent applicant for pat
ents. When his great invention Of
"distance writing was about eomplet-
ed he wanted the Baltimore and Ohio
Railway company to try 1t.
To get rid of him the president OF
the road turned him over to subor-
dinate. This official was struck with
the beauty Of the invention and became
SO interested in It that he sat up half
the night discussing 1t with the in
yentor. At length Morse confessed
there was only one thing which baf-
fed him. "As long as the railroad
runs be said, where poles may be
erected it will be easy sailing. but when
we come to the big bridges what Is to
be done then? We can't erect poles
across the stream, and without them
the wire would sag and perhaps breal(
from its own weight / confess don't

"Why don't you fasten the wires to
the bridgeys asked his companion
without moments hesitation. For
a moment Morse gazed at him, with
open mouth, and then exclaimed:
.sWhy not, Indeed? Why, never
thought Of that It's the very way
The laywan's tip put the finishing
touch to NE work Of the great in
ventor, and thus wires came to be
strung on bridges when crossing large
streams.

Miss Saudstrum Fair and Buxon,
Weighing Nearly 200 Pounds
Becomes Mrs. Butler.

John A. Butler OF Agosta has
found wife. It's his fourth, and
Butler thinks that ut last he has
corialled his affinity. She was Miss
Buvennla Eve sandstrum, aged 25,
and she came all the way from At
fanta, Kansas, to become the wife of
the Agosta man.
The marriage OF these two people,
the groom so years old, and the bride
,25, which was solemnized by Justice
II. G. Thompson at his Office on west
Center street, Thursday afternoon,
resulted from most unusual court
ship. Butler and Miss Sandstrum
never saw each other until Tuesday
when the bride, fair and buxom,
weighing upwtFds to 200 ,alighted
from Big -Four train No. SO at
Agosta after the trip from her par
entail home in Kansas.
They had exchanged photographs
and Butler at once recognized the
rotund countenance of his intended.
There was a greeting that was In no
way ostentatious, and then Butler
escorted Miss Sandstrum TO his home.

a. Butler admitted 10 the mayor that
he had been married three times be-
fore. his first wife having died and
the two following having taken their
departure through the divorce court.
Mayor Scherff assured Butler that
he would do everything possible to
help in finding him fourth wife
and the Agosta man went away well
satisfied. The newspapers got hold
of the story and it vas sent broadcast
throughout the country.
Miss Sandstrum, sitting In her
pretty rural home at Atlanta, read of
Buffers wife hunt and she decided as
once that she was the one to fill the
bill. She wrote to the Agosta man
and thus started the acquaintance
which has resulted in their marriage
Butler has four children by for
mer marriages. The Oldest is a young
man in his twenties, but the other
three are small, the Oldest being only
IL yeras old. Since being divorced
from his 6hlrd wife, less than a
year ago, Butler has had no one 10
care for his children and It was
this which urged him on in his hunt
for wife.
The story comes from Agosta that
the wife who WAS divorced a year
ago called on Butler only about a
week ago and sought to effect a
reconciliation. Butler. however was
waiting for the Kansas maiden and
the efforts OF his former wife were
futile.
