That an effort will be made
to secure aid from the federal
government for the construc-
tion and maintenance of good
roads in Idaho, is evidenced
by the fact that Congressman
Addison It. Smith has already
introduced a bill in the house
of representatives providing
for the appropriation of
SO, acres of timbered land
in the national forest reserves
for that purpose. While the
measure may not pass con-
gress at this special session,
there is but little doubt but
that it will pass at the next
regular session, for Idaho's
delegation in both houses of
congress will push the mea-
sure with all Vigor. The fact
that Idaho has taken a step
in the right direction ON the
good roads question, will
have considerable bearing
with the congressman in con-
sidering the bill just intro
duced by Mr.. Smith.
With a 100000 state bond
issue and the license from
automobiles, together with
the prospects of securing a
large sum each year from the
sale of timber land, as provid-
ed in the Smith bill, should
be an incentive for the citi-
zens in every county in Idaho
to vote bonds for the building
of good roads.
1t would be a good idea for
the board of commissioners
in every county in Idaho to
adopt and forward to congress
a memorial asking that body
to pass the Smith bill. This
would convince the national
law makers that Idaho was
fully awake to the Importance
of constructing good roads.
If a number of counties would
go a step further and vote
bonds, congress would be
more fully convinced that We
are entitled to federal aid.
The old fogies who have
been content to travel over
country roads in any and all
kinds Of conditions, might as
well realize right now that
the people are not going tic
put up with the present con
ditions any longer. The sen
timent in favor of good roads
is growing day by day and
within a very short time those
who oppose the issue of bonds
for road building will find
themselves numbered among
a small and hopeless minor
ity.

We are told to swat the fly.
It's not giving the fly his deserts.
We should be told to swat him twice,
to be sure he's dead and that he re-

is the typhaid, tuberculosis, cholera,
dysentery, smallpox, cerebro-spinal
meningitis, contagious ophthalma,
diptheria and other diseases fly.
He starts out alone az the be-

end his family is increased to ~

the boy with word Of apology,
told the teacher that his example
was not complete. Then he wrote,

LYCAN NOT ON COMMITTEE

emo, I cannot act on the committee
who have in charge the new tourist
hotel proposition" said F. S. Lycan
today, "But will do all can toward
pushing the proposition. I do not
want to take the active management
of the hotel, but will see to it that the
RICH kind of a man will take it,"
With this encouragement the COM
mittee soliciting funds for the sum-
mer hotel across lake Bemidji are
now awaiting plans for the construc-
ton of the building, choosing and
laying out of the site. ... F.
H. E. Reynolds has been added to
the committee and will also submit
plans and drawings for the proposed
hotel. Tams Bixby who left for his
home in Muskogee, Oklahoma, asked
that he be given an opportunity to
submit plans according to his idea
and these are expected to reach Be-
midi soon. .a@ -z--. y. ....+
The site offered by Mr.. Bixby
which is at the north end of Lake Be-
midi appears the most favorable, but
nothing definite has been done to-
ward accepting site. A. G. Wedge,
chairman of the committee, has the
subscription list in hand, headed with
$1,000 worth Of stock taken by Tams
