Alder Creek District
COMMISSIONERS LOOKING OVER ROUTE

Money May Be Used on It

County Commissioners G.. n.
DoWnie and +. w. Esgate came
up from Occur d'Alene Wednes-
day evening and went up TO Alder
creek from whore they started on
a trip to look over a route for a
highway to accommodate the sett-
lers in that neighborhood.
The county does not cOntem-
plate the building of the road at
the present time as all of the avail
able county money will be needed
ON the trunk line highways tina
the commissioners are building.
There is however, considerable
district highway money available
i'm that district and both the seti-
lers and the commissioners are
anxious to see it expended where
the work will be permanant and al
the same time be of benefit to tn"
settlers i'm furnishing them a way
of ingress and egress TO their
places. For that reason they are
desirious of having the road laid
cut at this time.
The commissioners trip is for
the purpose OF going over tho
ground with the settlers and agree
ing on a route after which the
county surveyor will be sent in
to survey the road.
This will be done at once i'm or
der to give the settlers a chance to
put what work they can on it this
summer.
A representative of This paper
had a short interview with the
commissioners, and among other
things touched upon political mat
ters were spoken of. Mr.. Downie
said that there was not much do
ing in that line as yet.
Most of the prospective candi-
oates are waiting until after The
plltform conventions have met
and adopted their platforms be
fore making their formal an
ouncements
He stated that all three G.: the
present commissioners would be
candidates for denomination. he
expected that there would be a
rumber of other candidates ign
each district for the repubncan
nomination but up to the present
aihe only one person had come
out with a formal announcement
rhat was Mr.. Doty, a neightog of
Nr. Downie who had published am
announcement that he would be a
candidate for the republican nom
nation in this district.
Mr.. Downie stated that n had
Understood that there were TO lac
two or three candidates froIa ST.
Maries and this vicinity for tho
place but that he had no posi-
tive knowledge.

The deal has been pending for
some little time and was prac-
tically closed several days ago

iiy of signing up the papers but
has been kept quiet for fear that
something might turn up at the
last moment to break the deal
and not until after the papers
were signed yesterday morning
would Mr.. Kasemeyer say any
thing for publication.
Mr.. Croonquist is an exper-
fenced merchant and Will in an

excellent work on this road. A
part of it is cut through the rock
and all is graded and furnished
with an excellent hard road bed
When completed it will be .
popular drive for automobiles
when a day or so outing is de-
sired as it will not only be a good
road but will afford excellent
scenery as we'll.
