BAND CONCERTS ARE POPULAR

The band concerts given every Sun
day evening on the street by the To-
cal musical aggregation, have come
to be looked forward to as one of
the regular weekly treats. These con
certs are very popular and attract
large crowds on Main street, quite a
change from the usual Sunday even
ing street scenes in interior cities.
Instead of being a detriment to the
churches they are q benefit, for the
people dress earlier and come out to
hear the band, and when the musical
program Is concluded they proceed on
their way to church, as a rule reach
ing there in time to Join in the open
ing song service and hear the text
announced, instead Of drifting in
some time after the sermon has be
gun.
Our band Is a hard one to beat
and is one of our city's assets thai
Is worth encouraging and maintain
ing at all hazards. Great improve
ment in the character of music rem
dered is apparent under the leader
ship Of DR.. Riggs.

THEY WALKED THE TRIP

Harold Alexander and T. D. Ger
Tough, two Boise high school boys,
arrived in the city last Friday from
the capital city, steering the rudder
of a we'll loaded pack horse. The
boys, who are two of the crack ath-
letes of south Idaho. the former q
baseballist and football bucker, and
the latter the long distance sprinter
who headed off Ernest DeHaven,
Grangeville's speedy racer, this spring
at Moscow in the mile heat, walked
all the way from the southland, TAX
ing occasional side trips enroute.
When the boys first hove in sight,
there was something of a panic
among the timid ones who seemed
to fear that it might mean an inva-
sion by Mexico, from the tan and
travel stains with which they were
marked. However. after they gave
Harold Harris the high sign, peace
was restored, and they soon secured
permanent jobs with George Stephens
in the harvest field, and have an
nounced that they will stay with ut
until after Border Days. anyway.

BRING YOUR TENTS WITH YOU

From the favorable reports which
continue to come in, in regard to
the attendance at Border Days,
Grangeville is going to be crowded
to the very city limits with sight
seers and recreation seekers. and our
citizens have at last awakened to
the fact that they will have all they
can attend to to take care of the
crowds during the nights. But they
have made up their minds that they
will accommodate the visitors regard
less of numbers.
In view of this fact they request
that every citizen of Idaho county
and contiguous counties, who has a
tent will bring 1t with them when
they come to Border Days, with such
bedding as will fit them out, and de-
sirable locations on the lawns of the
citizens and level lots will be pre-
pared for them to pitch their tent"
on, and thus help the good work
along.
Grangeville has an opportunity on
this occasion to show what it can do
In the way Of entertaining crowds
what is crowds" and upon the sue
cessful outcome OF its efforts-fuE
ly as much as the character of the
show-will depend the favorable or
unfavorable advertising 1t will re-
ceive from those In attendance when
they disperse to their various homes.
The next move Is to devise some
thorough and systematic manner OF
working, so that there may be nc
hitch.

CHANGE
IN STATE ROAD
Would Have New Road Go
via Culdesac Instead
of Waha.

1uSIe nave Deeu some !uulCdllOuS
since State Engineer Kings trip thru
the north over the proposed line of
the new state highway, that the
towns in Lewis county were not we'll
pleased with the route talked of from
Grangevillc to Lewiston, believing
that more people and a larger area
of farming country would be served
by following the more northerly
course along the railroad to Guide
sac. This feeling has now taken
tangible form as shown by the follow
ing article from the Vollmer Spokes
man. 1t says:
An organized effort Is being made
this week in the towns between here
and Lewiston to have the proposed
the line of towns along the railroad
instead of traverisng the unsettled
district over the top of the mountain.
AS was recently pointed out In this
paper, the present plan Of the road
touches no town In this county and
but one postoffice. Yet the county
will be asked to pay its half Of the
cost of construction.
1t is thought that an equally good
road can be obtained down the Cul-
desac canyon as by the Waha grade
and at the same time the road will
be of great local benefit to the towns
along the road. 1t is also suggested
that If the road could be brought neal
the big bridge it would thus include
one of the greatest scenic works Of
the state.
The movement is being carried on
e in every town along the line this
I week where the idea is being talked
ed. c. B. Updegraff of Culdesac is
: one of the prime movers in the work
and is taking the lead in it. Fol

| ing circulated in Vollmer:
