WHERE IGNORANCE is BLISS.

Relative to the proposed improve
ment OF the Ross Fork road, the edi-
itor of the Idaho Republican reilo yes
himself of most ridiculous SUI
gestion. He questions the advisa-
bility of building a road according to
the specifications of the engineers
who have given the subject their at
tention, and suggests that the road
be oiled; that macadamized road
would break along the edges and
that it would be impractible. Little
attention would be given his opinion
were it not for the fact that there
are still few people reading the
Republican and those who do might
be influenced by the article. In the
first place, AN oiled read would cost
a constant enormous amount A
barrel of oil would cover a surface
one yard square, and only on the sur
face at that There is a depth of
sand on the road of about five feet.
Oil applied would only sink away, an
leave mo- bottom. 1t is probable that
there might be coating over the
road of sufficient strength to hold
up an autom obile but the road is not
intended entirely for automobiles.
AS for a macadamized road break
ing on the edges, one properly con-
structed could mot break, neither
would the sand drift to sufficient
depth to retard progress. Discour-
agements directed toward legitimate
improvements are to- be discounten-
anced in these days of progression in
Idaho. 1t is quite probable that the
gentlemans ignorance of conditions
prevailing outside of the immediate
district surrounding this city, lead
to this splurge ON road building by
him

grand truths which are worthy OF our
consideration.
While all the bible is true, yet the
history portion which we have been
studying is reinforced by discovered
records of the doings of the kings of
Babylon and of Egypt. AS these rec
ords are cut in stone, they are natural
ly very brief and so nothing OF ex-
tended history is found. But there is
sufficient to help bible students to un-

copious and practically all crops are
in excellent condition, but consider
