ance to the community were discussed.
The good roads committee was instruct
ed to confer with the city council with
view of devising system to insure
regular and correct use of the split log
drag on the roads and streets and the
proposition of asking the railroad COM
pany to build short spur at the stock
yards at the depot was also taken up.

PROGRAM SUNDAY.

Memorial services will be held at
the cemetery Decoration Day, Saturday,
May 80, in the shape of informal cere-
monies by the few surviving veterans
of the war of '61 and other patriotic
citizens. No program has been prepar-
ed owing to the fact that the local G..
A. K. post disbanded some time ago
and the services will consist of plac-
ing flower and flag decorations upon
the graves of the departed soldiers.
There are only three old soldiers now
living in Grangeville, according to
Charles F. Brown, and they are Mr..
Brown, J. F. bearing and w. l.. Cost
ley. Two other wearers of the bronze
button, w. o. Fray and j. Bentley,
reside west of town. Mr.. Brown saws
that 10 old soldiers who were members
of the local G. A. R. post when it was
organized, have since passed over the
Great Divide and all are at rest in the
local cemetery.

IDAHO FIRST AGAIN.
State Building at frisco Exposition
First to be Completed.

Two distinctions have come to the
state of Idaho in its relation to the
Panama Pacific International EXPOSE
ton. Idaho was the first of the states
to complete her state building upon the
exposition grounds, also the first state
to officially honor woman with the
position of "official hostess
Mrs. w. H. Ridenbaugh, who is the
to be the Idaho state building, will no
doubt be the first of many hostesses,
for the idea has met with the warmest
approval of everyone connected with
the exposition and other states are ex-
pected to follow. The duties Of hostess
being with the completion of the state
building and continue through the
period Of entertainment that will mark
the ten months of the, exposition in
1915.
Mrs. Ridenbaugh is resident of
Boise, and is former regent of the
University of Idaho and is president Of
the Columbian club.
In the presence Of great throng, the
former residents, citizens and official
representatives Of the state of Idaho
dedicated Idaho g state building, May
IA. Joseph H. Hutchinson, formerly
lieutenant governor Of Idaho, acted as
chairman of the day. The dedicatory
address was made by Major Fred R.
Reed, who represented Governor
Haines; vice president of the exposition
R. B. Hale spoke for the president and
directors of the exposition and Frank
R. Coffin, first treasurer of the state
of Idaho made strong address; Mrs
A. H. Boomer, formerly of Idaho, but
now living in San Jose, California
raised the flag.
In his remarks, Commissioner Fred R
Reed said in part:
CAN Of the products Of Idaho will be
in evidence in the different buildings Of
the exposition and the idaho building
will be filled with the products Of the

TRAPPERs HAVE GOOD LUCK.

Tom Allison and son, Willie, came
out from their camp on Three Link
creek on the Selway river the first of
the week where they have been trap
ping the past winter. They report a
very good years work with total of
10 bear, cougar, Is mink, marten,
two red fox, one lynx, two bob cats and
numerous skunks and weasels. The
total value of the hides will run to al
most $1,000, certainly fair profit, to
say nothing of the sport enjoyed in
getting them. All the bears were freed
by the Allison dogs, said to be the best
pack of hounds in the country.

HOME FOR SHORT VISIT.

Deputy U. 8. Marshal Howe came in
Thursday night and remained until Sun
day morning visiting with his family.
Mark has been kept mighty busy during
the past several weeks, the session of
the federal court at Moscow being a
rather strenuous one for the officers.
Court convened at Occur d'Alene Mon
day and as it was necessary for him to
be on hand his visit was cut rather
short. He likes his new work first
straight and from reports received
from those who are in a position to
know 1t appears he is proving a very
satisfactory officer.

Keep Mouth Shut and Drag.

'Hot air never built road'' said
King, land the reason | am here before
you today is because l have done some
thing and you have faith in me. You
do not need orators to make your roads !;
what you need is the drag and deter
mination to go to work. Drag the half
mile of road in front of your house
when you go home, drag it four or five
times. just as soon as your road be-
gins to look nice and is in shape your
neighbor will come out to pick fuss
with you. He will try and for an ex-
cuse for the replorable condition Of the
road in front of his place, some reason
for not having dragged it, Keep on
dragging and keep your mouth shut.
1t is ctaching and it won t be long be-
fore our neighbor is out with drag.
Drag the road and keep your mouth
shut is the best advice can give
"To secure the best results one must
drag regularly. Never allow the rain
to come on the road without finding
it smooth, so that it may run off. No
water can stand on the smooth, ovel
crown. The road is not hurt by the
water falling on it, but it is hurt by
the water that stands on it.
Gone can't place too high the value
of the hard crust formed on road
after IS or 20 years of travel Any
person who goes upon this road with
any implement and breaks this crust
is guilty of a crime, and the time is
coming when you will put him in Jail. -
Have Log Drags Everywhere.
Mr.. King then explained how the
drag may build up a road, gradually
forming crown, and without there
being at any time surface of loose
soil.
"The time is coming when there
will be split-log drag in front of every
farmer rs gate, as there is in my com
munity. There is only one man in the
entire township where live who does
not drag the roads, and every man
woman and child knows who he is
There is no law that compels us to, bu,
public sentiment. We drag our road,
for the same reason that people coml
their heads. The man is not considered
decent who has mud holes between hi
place and town. I have dragged tn,
one-half mile Of road between my ow,
front gate and my neighbours from
gate toward town, Is years and neve
received cent for it. But that roa,

even speech"
In closing Mr.. King gave his formula
for good roads as follows:
"First. Build split-log road drag
according to instructions and l beg of
you to not make any improvements
until at least one year and l take it
that by that time you will have decided
your improvement is not necessary.
"Seeondly. Go out on the road when
the soil mixes well and is not sticky
and drag on the right wheel track from
the front door, in the direction of town.
When you get to your neighbor' s front
gate, turn and come back on the other
side.'
Demonstrate Simple Tool.
At the close of the meeting Mr..
King gave practical demonstration of
the drag on strip of road on Hall
street that convinced any who were
doubtful of the adaptibility of the drag
to this country. The meeting is going
to result in good, just how much is
problematical but if as small a number
as three split-log road drags are put
in active use in the entire county the
money paid Mr.. King was well spent.
There is no question as to the marvel
GUS results that can be attained through
the use of the King drag and it is only
a question of time until all will be
brought to a realization of the ease and
low cost with which most excellent dirt
roads may thus be built.
