PROPOSED PLANS
FOR HIGHWAYS
Lewiston Men Interested in
Project

The Lewiston business men will
extend their activities toward high
way construction beyond the limits
of the Lewiston highway district
and will endeavor 40 secure favor
able action by the board of county
commissioners for the construction
Of a highway along Clearwater
river above Arrow Junction. These
plans were disclosed at a meeting
of the Commercial club when Presi-
dent P. R. Bevis stated that R. l..
Spiker is engaged in the organiza-
tion of delegation to go before
the commissioners and ask for some
action that would bring about the
highway construction along the
upper Clearwater.
A plan for a river highway has
been under discussion for several
years and Clearwater county has
indicated it's willingness to join in
the plans and has inaugurated con-
struction work at a number of
points where such improvements
will fit into the plans for a river
highway that will conform to the
plans and specifications of the state
highway system.
The plans to be proposed to the
commissioners provide for the open
ing of three miles of new highway
this year. 1t is stated much vol
unteer work would be furnished by
residents of the district affected
and that by getting the cohstruc
tion work under way it is felt th'
matter of extending the road to th'
Nez Perce-C Clearwater county lin'
. can be successfully handled.
Attorney w. q. Counter CAV
notice to the board that he woul'
: later ask that the Commercial clul
join in the movement to secure tn
construction of a highway fron
Leland to Fir Bluff on the Clear
water. 1t is explained this high
way would connect the Potlatc
country with the proposed rive
highway and would serve larg
community. would bring larg
section to- the Clearwater river t1a
now is practically isolated fror
transportation facilities.-Tribune

BASEBALL BOOSTERS
! met WEDNESDAY
Much Enthusiasm Displayed
! by Business Men.

The Kendrick baseball club held
a boosters meeting at the Barnum
Hall Wednesday evening. Walter
Thomas acted as chairman and
..Adolph Wegner secretary. The
purpose of the meeting was to start
the baseball season in good shape
financially. Many plans were dis
cussed and a benefit dance and
basket social was finally decided
upon. The Kendrick Orchestra
volunteered to furnish music for the
dance free of charge and Mr.. Bar
mum offered to donate the use of
the hall for. that night. A pro-
gram committee of three. Walter
McCrea, H. Busse and A. V. Dunkle,
was then appointed.
1t was agreed that all who in
tend to try for position on the
team, should deposit three dollars
with the treasurer. This money is
to remain in the treasury providing
the one who makes the deposit be-
comes member of the team, other
wise fifty cents and a season ticket
to the games will be refunded.
A committee consisting of George
Barnum, o. E. Macpherson and O..
K. Hill was appointed. This COM
mittee will receive subscriptions,
attend to season tickets and in fact,
do anything to rustic the coin.
A committee of five was then ap-
pointed to meet with the Kendrick
Fair Board and endeavor to make
arrangements with the board to
have the ball grounds fenced.
Norris Walker, Guy Lewis, Prof.
Best. Adolph Wegner and Frank
Candee were the members chosen
to act on this committee.
One of the most serious draw
backs to the financial success of a
ball club has been the lack of an
inclosed park. Ii the grounds were
fenced so that all admissions might
be collected, there is no question
but that Hendricks baseball team
would be self-supporting. Ken
drick is an enthusiastic baseball
town and is always willing to stanC
back of a good team.
Mr.. George P. Barnum was
made permanent manager of the
Kendrick club. He has had severa
seasons experience in looking aftel
the interests of the ball fans of th'
town and with a goodly number O.
boosters back Of him, will turn ou
winning team again this year.
It is planned to have big open
ing game on the home grounds
Friday, April %. If the plans ar
carried out there will be a parad
at 1:3O to the ball park headed b
the Kendrick Band In the even
ing big dance and basket socia
will take place. Sure sounds like
good time.
