forces ready to ask Congress to make
suitable appropriations for the build.
Ing Of great National Hie hwsys reach
ing along the line of the old trails and
thru other favorable routes from East
to West and from. North 10 South.
/ The tentative plan provides for three
great highways running each way and
looks toward the building of state and
county roads to hsrmenize with the
great system.
During the past week G. F.. Bethel
OF the Nationsl Highways Associ iation
was in town, consulting with the Com.
mercial Club and outlining the plan
OF the Association. He spent several
days here securing members who
pledged themselves to work for the
furtherance of the parent plan. Each
member enrolled contributed the cum
of 81. 80 which goes into the organiza-
ton fund, some forty members being
secured here. F. II. Behnke interested
himself in the membership proposition
and it is expected that Mr.. Bethel will
return again later to work up further
interest in the matter.
Before any project of great magni-
tnde is adopted by the Federal Gov.
ernment it is necessary that complete
Investigations be made and q plan
mapped out SO that Congress has
something definite to work upon.
This is the object of the Organization
OF the Highways Association. Con-
gress must be made to realize that the
whole country is Interested in the
question and then National High
ways Commission can be and will be
appointed to look into the matter Just
as commissions have investigated and
prepared data previous to the under
taking OF the building of the Panama
Canal and other Federal projects.
The securing of the appointments of
such a Commission is the immediate
object of the Association.

Obituary.

Suddenly and without warning,
Mrs Albert j. Schrsmm passed away
Wednesday evening shortly after $50
O'Clock. Death was due to apoplexy.
Mrs. Schramm had been in poor
health for some years, but on the day
in question she appeared to Sc in
better spirits and feeling better than
she had for some time. She had only
recently recovered from an illness of
several months from rheum attsm
which confined her to her bed most of
the summer. She visited in the even.
ing with her daughter Mrs. Otto
English and started for home about 9
O'Clock accompanied by her l3 year
old nephew, Leonard Augustin. When
they reached the house, she told the
boy to open the door and get her .
glass Of water ss she was not feeling
we'll. When he returned he found his
aunt seated on . chair outside with
her head 0rooping forward and when
she failed to respond to his calls, he
ran to the neighbors. Mrs. Mary
Kral and Capt. Jos. c. Hofmeister
came at once and carried Mrs.
Schramm, who was then dying, into
the house and summoned the doctor
who arrived shortly but could do
nothing to revive her.
The deceased was born in Manito.
voc County, Wisconsin, October 20,
1868 and was therefore only so years
old when she died. She was q small
child when her parents came west In
1858 and settled the following year on
. farm in the Town Of Burnstown.
She was married to her surviving
husband June 30, 1885 and lived with
him in the west end Of the County until
wears ago when they removed to
New Ulm and have since resided here.
Four daughters were born to them
Who are all living. They are Mrs.
Otto English, Mrs. Herbert Grussen-
dorf, Misses Louise and Minnie who
sre still at home. She is also sur.
vived by brother, Jos. B. Augustin
and Mrs. Geo Rubey, . sister, who
i've near Springfield. Owing to the
illness and absence of Mr.. Schrsmm
her death becomes more painful and
neartrending. Mr.. Schramm returned
Friday afternoon from Cherokee, J
Iowa where he had been receiving
treatment.
At the time of her death, the de.
ceased was q member of the Lady |
Forester Society at Springfield and 9

In the belief that the present re-
quirements of the new federal game
law are not in accord with the needs
of this state, the Idaho State Sports
mems association has undertaken the
task of securing dispensation such
as is in effect in Oregon and Wash

The desire of the sportsmen is that it
shall be from October l to January Is.
The season in Oregon and Washing
ton has been fixed by the federal law
to conform with those dates, and since
conditions are the same in Idaho as in
Oregon and Washington, the plea is
that conditions are the same in Idaho
as in Washington and Oregon.
The association has brought the
matter to the attention of the secre-
tary of agriculture and expects to Sc
cure some action before the opening of
the next shooting season. Special ex-
ceptions were made for Oregon and
Washington in the wording of the bill
as passed. Idaho, attempted to gain
the same concessions, but by the time

PROBLEMS SOLVED
Arrangements complete for Finishing
Lost River Project,

The Big Lost River project will be
financed and re-organized within the
next As days, according to Deputy
Receiver j. T. Henderson of the pro-
ject who was a Blackfoot visitor, en-
route from Arco to Boise, Saturday
night. "All arrangements for taking
over the project at the receivers sale
have been made" Mr.. Henderson stat
ed. "The sale has been postponed
until January 81. This was done in
order that some legal matters may be
cleared up before transfer of the
property. We have been assured that
a bid sufficient to cover Corey Broth
ers' Judgment Of $650,000 and other
matters which will bring the figures
to approximately 100000 will be
made.
"We are also advised that plans
have been completed by the prospec-
tive purchasers to commence actual
construction work as early in the
spring as weather will permit. The
work will be rushed to completion,
making valuable addition to the ir-
rigated area of this section of the

in.
Last Saturday the Settlers Associa-
ton met at HOLSTER to consider a
proposition of the bondholders. The
proposition, while very liberal as to
time of payments, appeared to ma
jority of those present to shoulder the
financial burden of rejuvenating the
tract on the settlers. | did not at
tend the meeting, but / have heard
many express themselves who did, as
not being averse to shouldering some
of the burden, but as being opposed
to bearing all of the expense of the
mistakes of others, and it is said that
that is the reason the proposition of
the bondholders was rejected.
