| FER FIRST DEGREE

Saturday evening about fifty
members of the Odd Fellow lodge
of Troy and twenty members of
Leland arrived in this city and at
7:3O in the evening they gathered at
the Fraternal Temple and lodge was
called to order. The third degree
of Odd Fellowship was conferred to
one candidate and then the Troy
team put on the first degree for the
benefit of two candidates from the
Leland lodge. After the degree was
conferred a portion of the evening
was spent by the members in a
social manner. Considerable of
time was spent listening to short
talks by the visitors. A nice lunch
con was served after which the re-
mainder of the evening was spent
socially. The Troy team is due
much credit for the manner in which
they handled the degree work, they
are up-to- the minute in the work and
have the proper regaila to put on
the work. Some one said that they
would have to get the Troy Editor
out and confer the work on him
again in order to get him in the
game. Come in Brother the water
is fine.

Coming Corn State

Three or four years ago it was gen.
orally believed that corn in CONNER
cial quantities could not be grown in
Idaho. Only within the last two
years has the corn crop really
amounted to anything. The year
past thousands of acres were planted
to corn and the quantity and quality
produced shows that Idaho is one of
the coming corn states of the
country. If any one were still un-
convinced of the fact that Idaho
leads the world as corn state, the
recent award given this state at the
national corn exposition at Dallas,
Texas would be sufficient to convince
him. Official reports of results there
have been received and show that
Idaho leads. We won the cash for
the best ear of corn and the Indiana
trophy, worth 81, 200, for the best
10 ears of corn exhibited. The
prizes are officially known as zone
sweepstakes for the best single ear
and for the best 10 ears.
Idaho also wins the grand cham
pionship of the world on alsike clover
seed, second in the world for al
falfa seed, third in the world for
red clover seed and fourth in the
world for timothy seed. These
awards are what were made up on
February IL in classes wherein Ida
no was included.-Caldwell Tribune.

POOR PLACE FOR
POLITICS TO Be

4ucSOdy, Lewiston 1llOune-A
meeting of Lewiston Orchards as
sembly held last evening resulted in
the passage of a resolution condemn
ing Governor ]. M. Haines for his
action in appointing a member of
the Lewiston Orchard highway
commission not recommended by
the district and authorizing the ap-
pointment of a committee with in
structions to circulate a petition for
the disorganization of the highway
district recently created. The reso-
luton also asked that the commits
sion named by Governor Haines pro-
ceed to perfect its organization in
order that the disorganization pro-
ceedings may be carried out.
The action taken by the residents
of Lewiston Orchards has been
brought about by the action of
Governor Haines in naming Storey
Buck as a member of tbs highway
commission in the place of Tracy
Keedy, recommended by the resi-
dents of the district. At a meeting
following the election authorizing
the creation of the district the names
of P. w. Clark, Tracy Reedy and
R. S. Erb we're unanimously re-
commended to Governor Haines
for appointment as commissioners.
These names also appeared on pet
itions for appointment that had been
generally signed. When the ap-
pointments were made Mr.. Keedy
was omitted and Mr.. Buck was
named by Governor Haines to serve
with Messrs. Clark and Erb.
The residents of the district took
exception to the action of Governor
Haines and letters and kilograms
were sent him asking that the ap.
pointmnet of Mr.. Buck be withdrawn
and the name of Mr.. Keedy be sub
stituted. Following this action q
meeting was held in the district
which was attended by 48 property
owners, including Mr.. Buck. Al
that time SO of the members by
standing vote supported motion
asking for the resignation of Mr.
Buck, the other nine attending de.
clining to vote. This action, how.
ever, was fruitless of the desired re.
suit and the action was taken las
night to disorganize the district.
Mr.. Bucks appointment, state
mept was made, was upon politica
endorsement, some of these late
being withdrawn when the partie!
understood the situation. The un
fortunate development resulting
from the naming of the commission
ers will delay the proposed improve
ment perhaps indefinitely. Th'
work of circulating the petitions will
be taken up at once and statement i
made the property owners will act il
1.-THE same united manner in the dis
organization of the district that they
did in its creation.

Pioneer Past Away

Lee K. Carlton was born October
18, 1849, near Mansfield. Ohio, and
died at his home on American
Ridge March 9. 1914, aged 81
years five months and twenty one
days. In early life Mr.. Carlton was
engaged in railroading and express
messenger. Later he moved to
Camden Point. Missouri. when in
September 1880. he was united in
marriage to Miss Olive Pomphry to
this reunion was born three children
Mrs. Walter Taylor. of Boville. Ida
no, Mrs. George Davidson, of
American Ridge, and Allan. who
died about one year ago.
Mr.. Carlton moved from Missouri
to Colorado where he lived about
two years. In 1882 he came by
team to American Ridge and filed
on the piece of land where he has
lived Until his death.
Mr.. Carlton has teen a great
sufferer for about one year, often
unable to either sleep or eat. The
writer has been personally acquaint-
ed with Mr.. and Mrs. Carlton for
twenty nine years. we have often
enjoyed their hospitalities and kind
ness at their home and when we say
, that no man ever lived on American
Ridge who had more friends and
fewer enemies than Mr.. Carlton.
We know whereof we speak it can
be said truthfully that a good man
has fallen. Mr.. Carlton was ever
ready with his means to assist the
poor and needy. it has been said
of Mr.. Carlton that he never said
no when solicited for funds for the
needy or any church work.
While Mr.. Carlton never united
with any church, we understand
that he sought the Lord and found
him, it is believed by his own family
that the death of Allan, his son,
hastened the end of life. for Mr.
Carlton almost worshiped his boy
The remains were taken to Mos.
cow on Tuesday the 10 tn and was
buried by the side of his dear boy,
to await the final judgement of all

Ridge drove to Moscow to attend
the funeral. To Mrs. Carlton and
two daughters the writer wishes tc
extend his sympathy to them in thi:
sad hour of affliction in the death ol
a beloved husband and kind
: father.

GOOD
ROADS
MAINTENANCE OF GOOD ROAD
To Prevent Water From Standing on
Travelled Way Surface Should Be
Raised IN Center.

n you look at the ordinary country
road after a shower, you viii see small
puddles along the wheel ruts and some
times larger pools. This water stays
on the road surface because It cannot
drain away into the side bitches. II
you look closely you will see said
bitches which have grown up with
bushes and weeds in many cases, and
which are so far from the travelled
part OF the road that the rain water
does not drain into them. That part
OF the roadway where the wagons
travel Is called the travelled way. To
prevent water from standing on the
travelled way. the road should be raised
In the center and should slope gently
into broad, shallow bitches. 1t Is then
said to have q crown. II II Is ten feet
from the center OF the road to the side
ditch, the surface at the side ditch
should be at least ten inches lower than
II is at the center where the horses
travel. The road then has a teninch
crown. The rain that falls on a road
properly crowned will run quickly to
the side and not soak into the surface
or form pools. The side bitches for
surface water should run parallel to
the right of way. and should be open
at every low point so that the water
can run out of them into neighboring
brooks or streams. II the bitches
merely collect the water from the road
surface and 1t cannot run away, large
pools will be formed along the road
side, which will gradually soak into
the soil beneath the road and make 1t
so soft that the wheels of wagons will
cut through the road surface and soon
destroy It,
Sometimes water runs from land
along the road into the road, and
forms little stream down the wheel
tracks or in the middle. where the
horses travel. When driveways into
farm yards are built across the side
bitches they frequently form channels
for water from the farm yard to run
into the road The pipes under drive
ways become filed with leaves or rub
bish and the water can no longer run
away. II the driveways that stop the
ditch water were rebuilt so that no
pipes were necessary and the ditch
could be left open, much trouble from
surface water would be stopped.
To keep road smooth and crowned
the best method is to drag 1t with
road drag. A road drag is made easily
with two halves Of log which has
been split. The log should be about
about six or eight feet long. The two
halves OF the log are set three feet

apart with the smooth faces forward
and upright They are then fastened
together with braces set in holes bored
through the log. A pair of horses may
be used to drag the road, and are
hitched to a chain fastened to the front
half OF the log. The road drag should
move forward SO that It slants across
the road in such a way that a small
amount OF earth will slide past the
smooth face Of the log toward the CEN
ter OF the road. thus forming the
crown. The edges of the logs will
smooth out the ruts. The best way to
drag 10 to begin at the side ditch and
go up one side of the road. and then
down the other. In the next trip the
drag should be started a little nearer
the center, and the last trip over the
road the drag may work close to the
center itself. Small ridges OF earth
will be thrown In the horse track and
smeared by the round side OF the log
smoothly over the road. Smearing the
earth by the drag Is called pudding"
and It tends to make the surface OF the
road smooth and water tight after the
sun comes out. The road is always
dragged after It has rained. and not
when 1t Is dry. A good. strong pair OF
horses with a wellbuiit drag can drag
three or four miles of road in day,
and It is the best way 10 maintain good
roads. In every county some farmer
along each four miles OF road should
own a drag and drag the road when II
rains. and he would always find the
road in good condition when he goes
TO market.
