week, and registered at the Teller
!, House. He reports the condition of
the road down Virginia canon as be-
ing fearful and trying on the best
} horseflesh. Mr.. Cullum is a judge
I of fine horse and like all horse
lovers, feels keenly any undue work
being foisted on horse through
: the bad road conditions If this coun-
ty and the cities of Central and Ida
ho Springs appreciated the value of
the Virginia canon road, something
would be done to improve it, How
ever, it is not to be expected that
people who live on hills and noun
tain tops can asphalt roadways, yet
this road is a menace to the horse
in its present condition.
