BIG FILL COMPLETED.
New Road Opened-Canp Moved Il
Bannock Greek

The biggest single piece Of work In
Road District No. 1. Power County
the Spring Hollow fill-was completed
Friday and the road thrown open to
travel. The fill required the removal
of about $4,000 cubic yards OF earth.
and the cutting down of the hill at
either end OF the fill. The road has
been rolled and dragged and will soon
become packed by travel. II is M ex-
cellent road and only requires frequent
dragging to keep 1t In condition.
The greatest Improvement is noted
In the road leading west past the Gif-
fin place. This sandy stretch OF three
miles has been graded and clayed and
from the worst road In the county has
become the best 1t needs rain to
pack It In few places but is III for
heavy traffic all the way. Congress-
man Smith, who was taken over the
new roads Friday. said they were the
best dirt roads he had seen In the
state. Like all new roads settling has
made them little wavy, but dragging
after rains will soon eliminate tho
waves.
A road extending south from near
the Nick Claassen place to Quigley.
over which to move the grain from that
locality. is now being built. Work Is
also In progress on Horse Island. The
camp was moved Sunday to the old
rock ford, about five miles above Ban
mock to work on the new road leading
to Crystal and Arbon.

Less Speed, More Safety.

With the advent of good roads auto accidents are
said to becoming more frequent There is a tendency
evidently to ht er up and try out the roads, There
has also been complaint that few drivers of cars
do not respect the rights Of Others and rush by frac-
tious teams at high rate of speed. Counter COM
plant is made that few teamsters disregard the
rights of autosts refusing to give any part of the
road, after forcing cars to leave the road entirely
pass dangerously near the edge of bad grades No
doubt there some of5each class open to censure
Roads are built for the equal and harmonious use of
both teamsters and autosts. The same consdera-
tion should be given auto by teamster that would
be given to another tean6ter. And in return drivers
of autos should respect the rights Of teamsters and
have consideration enough to slow down and muf-
file the engines when passing fractions teams.
Speeding is the danger, however, to be guarded
against. Twenty-Five miles an hour is not consider
ed fast driving fairly good roads. AS matter of
fact is is 81 feet second and seconds time is ample
to bring about an accident The loss of presence of
mind for fraction Of second may bring disaster
bit of caution is not bad thing to have.

States would not omit "any word OF
any act" to protect its rights. Al
that time Mr.. Bryan made a speech
counseling peaceful measures and
cautious action.
Since then the official relations OF
Mr.. Bryan with the president and the
other cabinet officers have been
somewhat strained, although the
closest personal friendship has been
maintained. Officials of the admins
tration were unanimous Tuesday
night in their expressions of personal
regret. Secretary Tumulty issued a
statement to that eject. and the pres
ident reflected the same sentiment in
his letter. Admiration and praise for
the courageous manner in which Mr.
Bryan had fought for and held to his
convictions were expressed by offic-
iais on every side, including those who
had been most vigorous IN their oppo-
sition to his policies.

Country to See the Good Wheat.

Congressman Addison T.. Smith
spent most of the day here last Friday
meeting many old friends. Mr.. Smith
took advantage of the opportunity to
visit the country and see where the
good wheat grows. He had heard
that Power County produced some
wheat, more In fact than most any
where else, but he wanted to be show
ed. He was taken for an auto trip
about forty miles through Pleasant
valley. and passed through fields of
waving grain nearly all the way. He
was informed that what he had seen
iert ready to beiie~---h In extent, and
told.
Congressman Smith was deeply I'M
pressed and made many inquiries re-
garding conditions. He favors max
ing conditions easier for homestead
ers. and where water is difficult to
secure would do away with residence
requirements entirely. He has thif
I'm mind for future legislation. Th'
homestead bill introduced by him ant
nut through at the last session or con
gress is one OF the most beneflcla
ever enacted, and he is gathering IN
formation that may result In furthe
beneficial legislation.
He was driven to Pocatello Frida.
