STATE TO ASSIST GEM DIS
TRICT.

The State Land Board has gone on
record as supporting request to be
made to the next legislature for funds
to pay the states portion of assess
ments levied upon lands with the
boundaries of the Gem Irrigation dis
trict. The board at it's meeting last
week adopted the following resolu-
tons:
Whereas, it appears that the state
of Idaho owns over 5000 acres OF
lands under the canals, in the Gem
district in Owyhee county, Idaho,
which is subject to assessment under
the laws of this state, for its proper
tionate share of all expenses incurred
annually on account of administering
said water system; and
Whereas, the legislature of this
state has heretofore appropriated such
sums as were necessary to bear such
burden on this and similar enterprises;
Now therefore, we favor and re-
commend to the next Legislature that
such sum be appropriated as may be
necessary to pay all back assessments
due by the state ON said lands"
Dow Dunning made a strong plea
before the board for survey of the
states lands included in Owyhee
county. Mr.. Dunning pointed out that
IT the state board would appropriate
sufficient money for the survey it
would be of great assistance to the
settlers now on state lands. He in
formed the board that ettlers are go
ing INTO the district every day.

of the greatest value and benefit to
the entire state.
Northwestern COMING

Northwestern Coming.
The people of Idaho Falls feel that
the Northwestern Railway is about to
invade eastern Idaho. The Idaho Falls
Register credits the Chicago Tribune
& Northwestern as called for 900 steel
center stills. Ten new steel bridges
are being built by the Chicago &
Northwestern for the peninsular divi-
sion, while the same road will con-
struct ESQ mile extension from Lam
der, Wyo., to Idaho Falls, Idaho"
The Idaho Falls paper also states
that the Chicago, Burlington & Quin-
cy is also headed this way and that
the indications are good for an extern
sion by this company. This railway
activity is gratifying to the entire
state. While Idaho Falls will be the
first city to receive benefit from these
railroads it is reasonable to assume
that Idaho Falls is not the objective
point of either line. In case either or
both of these railways enter Idaho
they will not feel satisfied until they
reach the coast and western Idaho
will ultimately receive benefits from
greater and better railroad facilities.
There is no question but that Idaho
is attracting attention in railroad cir
cles. The next few years should see
more actual construction work than
the past rs years. If confidence has
been restored, and capital is no longer
afraid, and we are so assured by our
leading statesmen, journals and bust
ness men, it will be but short time
until Idaho will enter upon the second
era of prosperity and development.

Few of the motorcyclists who rode
on the statewide tours to Dayton, O.,
where the annual convention of the
Ohio F. A M. was held recently, dis
played the enthusiasm and real enjoy
ment of the recreation that was shown
by Mrs. Henry Atop of Toledo, the
only woman who drove her own ma
chine through the trip.
Il never enjoyed a motorcycle trip
more than that trip" declared this en-
thusiastic rider. On the good roads we
sped along at an exhilarating pace, and
the cushion forks and shock absorbers
of the up-to- date machines made rid
ing comfortable even on the rough
stretches. The road was quite sandy
at some places, too, but rode through
that easily simply by drawing the con-
troll lever back into low gear, so that
the big machine forged right ahead"
And Mrs. Atop found no difficulty in
keeping up with the men riders. In
fact her husband had to work hard to
keep pace with her. AT first Mr.. AL
top doubted my ability to keep up with
the other riders" says Mrs. Atop
But after he had ridden behind me
through some of the rough and muddy
roads which we encountered, he said
that he didn't need to worry about my
being able to take care of myself"
However, Mrs. Atop does not take
especial credit for the ease with which
she operated the powerful machine
For, as she declares, motorcycles are
made nowadays so that almost anyone
can handle them easily, and are so re-
liable that they rarely ever get out OF
order.
Mrs Atop has taken part in a num-
Der of long distance runs, having won
a gold medal last year in the 367-mile
endurance run of the Toledo Motorcycle
club,

ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Should Be CONSTANT

Highway improvement, like the
growth of population, should be pro-
gressive, argues a student of the sub
ject. Each stage should be suited to
the requirements of its period. This
contemplates, first, the proper locat-
ing. grading and drainage of the sub
base essential to and good road.
This .sub-base can be used as an
earth road during the years when
traffic is light and can be kept in very
aerviceable condition by dragging after
spring and fall rains at a cost of $50
year per mile.
The second step is to make a gravel
road, When travel increases or funds
become available, by applying several
inches of sharp, clean gravel after
dragging and rolling the earth road,
This can be done in most places for a
few hundred dollars a mile, and main
tenance will cost about 500 a mile.
When the gravel road is outgrown
1t forms an excellent foundation for a
concrete surface. 1t is only necessary
to loosen up the gravel and roll 1t to
uniform compaetness. then lay a
course of hydraulic concrete to carry
heavy traffic. The surface construc-
ton costs Approximately $3.50 square
yard. Maintenance should not average
more than $50 a mile.
The final step in progressive road
building, when heavy teaming and mo-
tor trucking predominant is to lay
course of vitrified brick or granite
sets grouted with cement on a sand
cushion on top of the concrete. Or. if
part of the road should become a resi-
dence street or be set apart as boule-
ward, quiet pavement of wood blocks,
| sheet asphalt or asphalt blocks can
be laid on the concrete.
This is the most practical and eco
npmical road plan, providing for vary
ing volumes and kinds of traffic over
century or more of use and involving
no loss of investment in pavements
that are excessively costly to main
tain and which are not essential IS
foundation in the final type of high
way.

AUTO Statesmen
CALLED TO front
Russian Count and Austrian
Cavalry Officer Handled
the Maxwell.

Some little anxiety is felt at the
Detroit office of the Maxwell Motor
company concerning the whereabouts
of several of its representatives.
Arnold Forester, Maxwell repre-
sentative in Austria, and captain of
a cavalry troop in the Austrian army,
has undoubtedly Joined his troop as
no communication has been received
from him in several days. Mr.. Forester
is thoroughly trained in army tactics.
and has won several medals of honor
in the service of his country.
Another foreigner. whose patriotism
has called him to his country's aid, is
a Russian, Count KrysanoWsky, one of
the ablest men in the MaXwell's for
eign field. Count Krysanowsky was
last heard from in Paris on his way to
Brussels. He also holds q captaincy
in the army of his fatherland and
without doubt has returned to Russia.
Among the thousands of Americans
marooned on foreign soil is Charles +.
Redden, American sales manager of
the Maxwell Motor company. Mr.
Redden has been abroad for several
weeks past in the interest of his COM
pany. His itinerary has included most
of the large cities and has taken him
into all the countries now involved in
the war. When last heard from Mr.
Redden was on his way to Berlin, and
expected to go from there to London.
1t is the opinion at the Maxwell office
in Detroit that Mr.. Redden has been
forced to cancel all business engage
ments, and is quietly waiting for the
first opportunity to return to this
country

IN THE
ANDES MOUNTAINS
Much Needed Oil May Come
From South America in
the Future.

1t has been known for some time
that petroleum exists in many parts
of even the high Andes mountains,
although in but a very few cases up
to the present has the output been so
abundant as to encourage commercial
study of its possibilities. Recent in
vestigations, details of which have
been sent to the Pan-American union,
have, haWever, given a new turn to
the problem. According to a report
now in the hands of Director General
Barrett of the Pan American union,
the Espejos (mirror) spring, about SO
miles from Santa Cruz in Bolivia, Is a
fair sample of the character and kind
of petroleum surface manifestations
found in the region extending from
the northern boundary of the Argen-
tine republic to the Madre de Dios
river. This river is close to the south
ern boundary of western Brazil, and
with the Beni into which it runs,
finally joins the Mamore river to form
the Madeira river The Espejos spring
yields petroleum by oozing from it's
surface flow, an analysis of which
shows a content of 1872 per cent of
Kerosene 17.5 per cent of lubricatirg
oil, and 4.S per cent of coke. The in
dications are all favorable to the pros
pect that gushers may be found by
boring to the proper depth, although
as yet no shafts have been sunk in
this neighborhood. Investigations
have gone no farther, because of the
inaccessibility of the place. Santa
Cruz is in the republic of Bolivia,
about latitude Is degrees south, and
longitude 63 degrees west Green
wich), and lying outside of the trav-
eled route OF commerce. A railway
Is projected to it westward from the
Paraguay river frontier, but at present
the only way of reaching the region
is by cart road across the interior of
South America.
Careful geologic examinations of
go to support the probability that
petroleum in paying quantities will be
found in other parts as we'll as in the
neighborhood of Santa Cruz. Thus
disable supply may be expected in
practically every geographic area of
the continent. In Argentina it is now
being obtained from the southern third
of the republic; in Chile are several
wells, and greater results are expect
ed in Peru oil in very satisfactory
quantities has been exploited for some
time; in Ecuador, Columbia and Ven
ezuela oil is known to exist, and ex-
perts are constantly In the field CT
location expeditions. The southern
continent may therefore prove as rich
in this respect as the northern.
