SHALL POWER COUNTY
BOND FOR GOOD ROADS
Question That the County Commissioners Now Up
Against Must Eventually be Answered by the People.
Every Taxpayer Should Give Serious Consideration.

= Ever since the creation of Pow
Ier county there has been more or
less agitation in favor of banding
the county for the purpose of put
ting in first class system of high
ways throughout the county, and
now the county commissioners are
cons dering the question more seri-
ousiv than ever before. The
reason for the changed attitude
lies in the fact that if the county
is to get the benefit of having the
state highway built through the
length OF the county, the county it,
self must bear two-thirds of the
expense of making the grade, the
state sharing only one-third of
that expense but afterward puts on
the hard surface and maintains and
keeps iu repair the thoroughfare for
ever This state highway will bene-
fit a great number of people. but
if the commissioners decide to meet
the states proposition and bond the
county for that particular strip of
.oad, would it not be a mark of
good business judgment to go one
step further and issue bonds for a
sufficient amount to build trunk
! loads of the same quality into the
other portions of the county. This

are just now engaged in hauling
in their wheat crop, and it is be-
lieved that if the commissioners de-
eide to submit the question of bond
ing to the people at all it will be
with this idea in mind.
Power county is just starting
and the greater portion of it's area
is only in a state of primary de-
velopment, so the argument il
favor of a good bond issue has
much merit. Spending anywhere
from fifteen to thirty thousand dol

though, and neither was the monu-
ment erected, the reason for the
delay being that the county COM
missioners had not given much seri-
Gus thought to the matter and the
result was that the amount which
this county will be expected to con-
tribute. some $16,O00.O0 had not
been provided for. D..
However, the visit of state Of
ficials was productive of good re-
suits for the county commissioners

two bodies held a joint session with
the result that tentative under
standing was reached as to the
route of the proposed highway and
t is believed that the county will
now do its share in meeting the ex-
pense of it's construction.
The following paragraph is taken
from the Pocatello Tribune of Tues
day. the 2sth, and no doubt ex-
presses the position taken by the

PROGRESS AT THE SCHOOLS
Action Has Been Taken by the,
Board of Trustees Look
ing to Improvement.

At a meeting OF the Board of
Trustees of Independent school d s
trict No. 1 held one night last
week it was decided to make some
Improvements that will place our
educational institution among the
best in the state.
Probably the most important NOV
was to have certain teachers do
special work throughout the entire
school instead of just looking af-
ter their own particular grades.
Miss Drum, the primary teacher,
will take mechanical indergarten
work in the first three grades, Miss
Salee will teach music throughout
the school Miss Drake will have
art and drawing, Miss Jones do
mestie art in the grades, Miss Pow
elson domestic art in the high
school, and Miss Hughes will teach
penmansh'p throughout the school
Another teacher will be added to
the present corps who will have
charge of the sixth grade and will
also teach elocution in all grades.
Rooms are to be fitted up for
the sixth grade and also for lunch
room. Cal Logan was awarded a
contract for doing this work.

The Child as Heir of the Past,
was the subject of an address deliv-
cred by Prof. Vincent O'Shea at the
city auditorium Wednesday morn

He showed the similarity between
plant. animal, and human life,
similarity because of reversion, that
is. a tendency to revert to form
er type of ancestors.
I'm the plant world, examples are
at every hand, but they are
especially numerous at the home OF
Luther Burbank, near Santa Rosa
California. The great plant wizard
has there produced many and i'm

and vegetables. His keenness OF
perception of ght variation IN
plant life and the rapldity Win

made all these creations possible.

the liberal patronage they received.

years ago would have seemed ut
terly impossible. The government
and states and counties in all parts
are giving more attention to this
absorbing industrial question and
the result is that it has been shown
that it is an economy for any sub
division of government to provide
good, substantial roads which can
be traversed at any season of the
year and regardless of weather con-
ditions. Many of the counties of
this state have bonded for large
sums for the purpose of establish
ing traversable highways for the
rural districts and those counties
are rapidly becoming the most de-
sirable places to live. Therefore
the question resolves itself to this:
Shall the commissioners take ac-
ton that will have for its purpose
the establishment of good, solid
roads, or shall we go on for fifteeH
or twenty years try ng to get along
with highways the condition OF
which will never be much betta1
chan they are at present, and then
in the end, bond to build roads OF
the good substantial kind?
The commissioners expected tc
take up the matter of issuing
] bonds for the purpose of taking uI
the outstanding warrant indebted
ness at a meeting Tuesday of this
week, but owing to the fact that thi
new phase has come up, action has
been deferred for one week. On mex
Tuesday the commissioners will
meet for the purpose of going int
this question and it would seem t
be within the province of every vot
err and taxpayer to let these count,
officials know their sentiment as t.

the people are in favor of goin,

part of the people at this time ma
be the means of saving a consider

If public sent ment seems t
