Largely through the efforts of the
,eague the State Highway Commits
sion and the Boise-Yellowston Com
MS sion have decided to adopt the
road running through Mountain Home
IND parallel with the 0. S. l.. as
lhe route for the highway through
Gilmore County. This will result in
many tourists passing through our
city, especially in 1915, and cannot
help but accrue to our benefit In
addition to this the league has taken
great interest in having good roads
built and maintained throughout the
county and were largely instrument
tal in having road built to Smiths
Pralrle which is now being construct
ed. We have a standing committee
on roads who are pleased to take up
road matters at any old time.

acknowledged by adj to have been one
OF the most enjoyable affairs ever
held here was pulled off under the
auspices of the league.

a very good impression on the minds
Of our visitors, and they left our city |
feeling that we were at least alive
here, and worthy of a place on the
map. Without this or some similar
we fear that they would
nave come and gone without even
the taste of sweet cherries in their
