Where the West Beams

Out where the hand clasps little stronger,
Out where the smile dwell's little longer
That's where the West begins.
Out where the suns little brighter,
Where the that falls is trihe whittier,
Where the bonds of home are wee bit tighter
That's where the West begins.
Out where the skies are trihe bluer
Out where friendships little truer,
Out where everything is newer
That's where the West begins
Out where fresher breeze is blowing,
Where there's laughter in every streamlet flowing,
Where thtres more of reaping and less of sowing
That's where the West begins.
Out where the West is in the making,
Where fewer hearts with despair are aching,
Where there's more of giving and less of taking
That's where the West begins.
Where there's of singing and less of signing,
Where there's more of giving and less of buying
And makes friends without half trying
That's where the West begins.

STATE HIGHWAY
ABANDONED
Inability of Some Counties to
Meet Their Part of Expense
Was Cause of Matter Being
Dropped for the Present.

Construction of the north and
south highway between Weiser
and Grangeville was abandoned
by the State Highway Commits
sion through decision reached
last week at meeting of that
body at Boise, due to the fact
that Adams county is not prepar-
ed, nor can it afford at this time,
to vote bond issue to raise two
thirds of the cost Of construction
or its proportionate share for
building the highway in that
county. The highway commits
sion, in session at the secretary
of states Office went into the
matter of building this highway
as outlined by the old commits
sion, but found itself thwarted
from going ahead with the plans
with the information given the
commission by Commissioner Van
Sicklin that Adams county noti-
fed him it could not raise its
share of the cost of construction.
AS Idaho countyydoes".no feel
able to-t the additional ex-
pense, the commission could dc
nothings.elseJ sbutN abandon the
plan, it is understood.
1t was the hope of the good
roads enthusiasts that the north
and south highway could be con-
structed due to the immense a
mount of benefit that it would be
to the state as a whole... connect
ing as it would northern and
southern Idaho with the first
modern highway over which
travel could proceed with COM
parative ease. The fact that the
country is somewhat mountainous
made the estimated cost of con-
struction high, but the road would
have been worthy of the expense,
and this due to the fact it would
open very beautiful scenic Sec
ton of the state.
Under the plans as proposed
each of the counties through
which the highway was to pass,
or Washington, Adams and Ida
no, were to raise two-thirds of
the cost as apportioned to their
respective territories and the
state was to apportion the other
third. Adams county does not
feel that it can afford the ex-
pense. The decision of the CON-
mission means that construction
work on the connecting link will
not be taken up during the next
two years.
The commission will soon have
on hand 5000, 900, receipts from
the sale of state highway bonds.
At its meeting Tuesday an esti.
mate was made of the amount
that will be available for giving
the county aid. 1t was calculated
that $75, 900 will be required to
meet obligations of the commits
sion to the counties which were
contracted during the past two
years.
There will remain $125, 900
The commission will apportior
! this sum among the various coun
} ties, and will keep it on hand fol
a reasonable period, so that thu
counties may receive their variou,
shares if they do their part. A
| the expiration of what the com
, mission deems a reasonable tim,
: i.he money apportioned to coun
: ty which has not taken advantag,
of the law will be expended b.

) sections of the state.

CENTRAL IDAHO
IS FORTUNATE
w. H. Ralph Tells of Poverty
in Colorado and Says Busi-
ness There is at a Standstill
Nothing Like That Here.

Nothing Like That Here.
The central Idaho country is
much blessed according to the
version of W. H. Ralph, Nezperce
au,t oneer, who returned Monday
from two months trip through
south Idaho, Utah, Colorado and
New Mexico. Mr.. Ralph has
been engaged in buying war
horses for the past several months
and his business took him quite
extensively over the states men,
toned.
"The people of central Idaho
and the tributary sections of east
EN- Washington do not know
there are hard times and suffer-
ing 80 close to home," said Mr..
Ralph. "In south Idaho the farm
ers were confronted with a poor
market for their hay and pota-
toes. The same condition existed
in Utah and the stockmen who
bought CATTLE. to feed for the
market experienced very severe
loss. The fact is they paid more
for stock cattle than the finished
product will now bring.
"In Colorado the mining troub-
lie, the closing of smelters and
general activities.s .shave thrown
thousands of men out of employ
ment and this means thousands of
familiesiare.deprived of means
of securing the necessities of life.
The same conditions prevail in
New Mexico.
1T was nothing uncommon to
see men, women and children
poorly clad and with their feet
wrapped in sacks, securing the
country for sagebrush with which
to maintain. fires. Large. numbers
of families spentisthe].winter in
tents and there has been real
suffering in these localities.
"These conditionsls mean the
business in the towns is poor, the
business men are discouraged and
there is little buying from whole
salers, practically no improve
ments being carried on and a
general atmosphere of depression.
There are so many pitiable condi-
tions brought to the attention of
the traveller that one becomes
depressed.
Coming home to the central
Idaho country with it's activities
and evidences of prosperity and
comfort is much the same as be-
ing awakened from bad dream.
The building of the electric line,
the large sum being expended in
the Orchards paved road, the
Preparations for the big celebra-
tlon, reports from the prairies OF
activities of farmers, many pur-
chases of automobiles and prepa-
rations of families for departures

should be grateful for our pros

less fortunate.

advertised on the outside and
expect to see a heavy immigra
ton into this section within tn

ing at Portland that same even
ing. The next day the boats will
start for Astoria. The fare from

carte. If you wish to avail your.
self of the opportunity of this
excursion would advise you tc
send a check to cover the berth
and ticket desired, as the number
that can take the trip is quite
limited owing to the capacity oi
the boats, and the big demand
for reservations. Address al
communications to E. D. Potvin
chairman of the Transportation
Committee, Lewiston, Idaho.
Ed. Blake was in town Wed
nesday from Keuterville anC

to see their roads kept up in flint
condition in future.

The bandits blew open the safe in the express car The loot according to railroad officials, con sisted of four registered packages Of small value. The passengers were not mol;sted.
 The bandits bearded the "blind baggage" at Page, Okla. Several tramps were on the blind at the time and shortly Ei:fore the bandit , brought the train to a stop they drew their revolvers and forced the tramps to jump off.
 Hobo Gives Alarm.
 One of the tramps realized a hold up was about to occur and ran to Acorn, a distance of several miles, where he gave the alarm. Th:i au- thorities here were immediately n3ti- fled and sent officers aboard a freight engine to the scene. When they arrived no trace of the bandits could be found. Several posses, how ever, were pu. to work.
 When the train was about three miles north of Eagleton the robbers covered Engineer c. D. Covert and fireInanf Fem Andrews ~-s wirh revcf1 vers and brought the train to stop. Cover. was taken out of the engine by enc bandit and was forced to cut the train behind the mail car. The bandits then forced the crew to pro- ceed two miles farther with the ex- presss and mail cars.

The ban dits did not stop t2 pick up anything, but turned quickly to the mail car.
 At the first sign of impending trouble the mail clerks had locked the doors of the cars. When the bandits battered upon the entrances the clerks did no. answer.
 "Open the door, boys or we'll kill your engineer shouted one of the ribbers. Still there was no reply Then one of the bandits plac:d re- yolver at Ccvert's head.
 "Telr 'em to open up or you are d goner," the robber said. The clerks opened the door moment later. AS |vhey did s2 the bandits sprang into the mail car.

CONGRESS PLANS
 TO RECESS OVER
 HOLIDAYS TODAY

Washington. Dec. 16.-The house today, by vote of 205 to 198, passed the resolution continuing for. one year the emergency war tax law.
 A six-hour session of the house opened the general revenue and tariff battle between the Republicans and Democrats which will continue throughout the present session of con- gress.
 All the old tariffs and direct taxa tion arguments that congress has heard for years, were dragged out of their hiding places and paraded on the floor. A few phases of the situa- ton were developed.
 Republicans painted gruesOme picture of woe, of ruined industry and starving workmen, of people groan- ing under the heavy burden of taxa tion. and blamed it all on the Demo- cratic Underwood tariff The Democrats said that the Un- derwood tariff was just and equita- ble measure, and that it was working we'll. They blamed the treasury def- cit on the disastrous effects of the European war on American commerce and industry. On the whole, both sides made it day of political re- cOrd-making.
 The resolution will go to the sen ate tomorrow where arrangements have been made for speedy action. An effort will be made to pass the meas art and clear the way for adjourn mont tomorrow night, over the Christ mas holidays.
 The senate finance committee au- thorized Chairman Simmons to make a favorable report on the house bill.
