The sentiment generally seems t
iavor the location across the reserva

people to be served. 1t is explaine
mat Lewis county will not join in
oond issue to provide money to con
struct the highway from the Levi
county line above Waha to the Idah
county line beyond Forest, but If the lo
cation is made through Reubens. lie
vollmer and across Lawyers canyon
ferdinand, the Lewis county people wi
eadiy provide the funds necessary
pay the county's portion of such cor
struction.
IL Is stated Nez Perce county wi
also meet the same opposition to a Dor
issue In the event the location is mad
from Lewiston to waha, where only
