Good Roads Day Proves
A Brilliant Success

The Bingham county auto and good
roads association demonstrated it's
| worth In the community today when
sixty-seven members put their cars
at the disposal of the ladies and men
volunteers, who responded to the call
for better roads in Bingham county.
Cars loaded with people and tools of
all kinds assembled early at the Stand
rod bank and were soon on the roads
leading to Blackfoot covering points
from the city to the various county
lines digging out rocks, shovelling dirt
into holes, tamping the ground and
otherwise making the thoroughfares
In the county the most beautiful drive
ways in the state.
Dr. w. e. Patrie as originator Of
the movement, assisted by ]. H. Early
and others, have set an example for
other counties to follow. The cars
were out less than five hours and
trip for inspection made by the writer
gave convincing proof of the fact that
no one was idle. This movement is
the direct means of securing good
roads and should be carried out at
regular intervals throughout the year.
The farmers are the most benefited
as they carry the largest loads over
the roads. In all there were 1856
people working reads from the city,
and no estimate could be given as to
how many farmers there were out.
1t was the greatest demonstration ev-
er made for good roads in this county
and the originators feel amply repaid
for their efforts to awaken interest.
Ladies driving cars did not confine
themselves alone to serving lemonade,
but with rakes and hoes helped to
I'LL the ruts and smooth tho rough
places. The drivers among the fair
sex were Mrs. Jim Ryan, Mrs. c. w.
Bergman, Mrs. L. p. Batway, VINO
filled their cars with ladies to dc
monstrate that they could build roads
as good as men. 1t was a great day
with benefit and satisfaction to al
participants.
