mittee of the chamber of commerce

munity yesterday.
A party of IS Idaho lady teachers,
who were returning from the district
educational association at Spokane,
and at o'clock in the afternoon were
taken through the university grounds
and about the city, by a half dozen
local cars.
Later in the afternoon Mr.. Green as
sembled the automobile owners at the
chamber of commerce and planned a
campaign for better roads, leading in
to the city. A section of road was as
signed to each of several of the lead
ing autoists, as follows:

.Palouse road; DR.. Aspray, the road
from the school section to Blaine; c.

above named parties will take two or
three men with shovels and picks, in
an auto, over the section of road as

city.
In the evening Hunt Potter, G. Ques-
nell and Mr.. Green went to Pullman
