Lincoln County times. (Jerome, Idaho) 1911-1919, 1911-12-07

Mr.. Monse, of the little town OF
Nampa, started for Wendell with
the notion that this was whistling
post on the Idaho Southern r. R.
and the townsite was adesert of
sage brush peopled by the denizens
of the wild. His enlightment came
quick. He hardly stepped off the
train before he had to make swift
sprint to keep from being run over
by the rival passenger train. After
a half days sight seeing tour he de-
cided that prospects here were about
the best he ever saw. Mr.. Monse

We must have such information
as the above if we expect to pro-
coed intelligently.
If we need the road through Mr..
Dorminey's land tie county should
pay him for it or the damag es to
his property. He should not bear
more of the burden than any other
taxpayer, but the road is a matter
that interests the public, particular
ly of Ben Hill and Telfair.
If camp Brooklyn is the best
place to cross the river it suits us.
We have no interest at either
place, never saw either place, but
the people of Telfair have their
rights and it will be the height of
folly to ignore them in preparing
the route and selecting the Ferry.

Mr.. j. E. Mercer,
Fitzgerald, Ga.
Dear Sir:-I have noticed sever
al little articles you have written
concerning a public road to Lamp
kins Ferry. | saw one in your
today's paper. In the outset |
want to say that my uncle, W. G.
Dorminey and myself own every
foot of land that road would cross.
And we have our pastures from the
River Road back to the river and
these people all come through my
pasture going to Fitzgerald, and we
changed the road just little, not
a mile or so as you might believe,
You remember we have the no
fence law and we people were
compelled to have a pasture some
where and this was our best and
cheapest one. | want to say fur
ther that the county can't build a
road down here that will stand,
the road will 90 right down side of
the river about 1-2 mile and in this
half mile there is three swift lakes
to cross when the river is up a
little, and one of them is washing
lot. AS the road would run a north
easterly direction and our land
lines run north it would cross the
land line between us right at the
edge of the swamp and then go a
little below the center of the next
fractional lot at the ferry. We al
ready have good graded road
right up to the river bank about
1-2 ORR miles above this place.
And a much better place for a
ferry on both sides. Capt. T. L.
Wilcox had a ferry there years ago.
| will say further that to cross up
there would be some nearer to
out awfully fast. Where the ferry
road used to cross this lake on
good solid level dirt it is 10 feet
deep now or deeper in places. |

house | will go and show you or
any other reasonable man that this

use at all, besides damaging Mr.
