Victor Murdoch
At ChataGqua

Regardless Of conflicting polit-
zeal opinions, Victor Murdoch of
Kansas is one of our national
figures whom true Americans
keenly admire. He has the ring
ing RoOsveltian punch to his
thought, speech and manner
which cOmpells attention. Muir
dock stirs an audience, there is
edge and an incisive twist to his
remarks that keeps people all
atingle while he is speaking.
There is no rehash about Muir
dock. The only thing about a
Murdoch speech that repeats is
The interest which it creates. His
great lecture Uncle Sans To-
morrow is an up-to-the-minute
eye witness exposition of con-
temporary events at home ami
ahroad, and their bearing upon
the future.
Securing Victor Murdoch for
this great circuit was SCOOP for
western Chautauquas, and his
coming is everywhere anticipat-
cd with interest.

Reports On North
And South Highway

TO build the north and south
highway connecting the two di-
vided sections of this state will
cost over a half million dollars.
according to the estimates of
state Highway Engineer E. NJ.
Booth. Those familiar with the
route to be travelled declare that
10 would be the most profitable
half million dollars the state
could expend and would do much
toward developing an interior
part of the state that is entitled
10 transportation facilities and
opening up by both a good high
way and a railroad. Data re-
earding the cost of construction
Is given by State Highway En-
slneer Booth i'm a letter he has
issued to A. +. Parker of Grange
VILE, one of the members of the
north and south railroad commits
sion created by the legislature
and appointed by the governor.
In an explanatory statement to
Mr.. Parker, State Highway En-
gineer Booth gives some interest
ing data. He says:
The record. [volume] (St. Maries, Idaho) 1913-1918, 1916-07-25

AS per your request l am in
closing a tabulation Of the cost Of
the north and south highway
from Weiser to the Idaho-Lewis
county line. We are unable to
furnish the cost data from the
Lewis county line to Lewiston.
This estimate is made up from
a survey made in 19I3-14 and is
merely approximate as portions
of the line will have to be relO-
Gated and probably a great many
changes made before construction
can be started. However, this
Will give you a general idea of the
cost
You will note that the 20 miles
on the prairie is really not an es-
innate but a guess as very little
information is at hand on this
section.
If the county is sufficiently in
terested we can probably arrange
for a detailed survey of that sec
ton from White Bird to Grange
Vile in the near future and give
you a definite estimate of cost.
The estimate of S9i,t4O for the
"A miles in Washington county
I believe is about right and the
63 miles in Adams county, esti-
mated at S12I,5OO, is probably
low. I also believe the esti-
mate of S247, 900 for Idaho cOun-
ty is low.
To the total cost Of s462,6lO
should be added Approximately 3
per cent for engineering and 10
per cent for contingencies. max
ing total of S532,O36 as the cost
OF grading, bridges, culverts, etc.

Should Hear Jones
At Chatauqua

Too bad that George V and his
distinguished relative, the Kaiser,
and their belligerent contempor-
aries could not have attended a
Chautauqua with s. Plat Jones
holding the platform down, before
they proceeded to shoot each
other up. IL is a certainty that
there would not be any war. You
can't be happy and fight at the
same time.
At one Chautauqua while Jones
was holding forth to an audience
That could scarcely contain it,
self, there was one old crab who
had not laughed for forty-two
years. He could have eaten oats
out of a churn dasher. It was
necessary TO take nine stitches i'm

night of the Chautauqua and

derstand the slogan of the talent
who succeed him" Keeping up

is under the direct supervise

lowing visit through the

The visit to the jail developed
general complaints from the in
mates that not only has their
food supply been cut down, but
that what they have been given
TO eat has been served in a negli-
gent and uncleanly manner.
A score of the prisoners Friday
signed a letter to the commission
ers, asking for an immediate con-
ference on a matter of great I'M
portance." The commissioners
Immediately complied with their
request.
Among the complaints put be-
fore the commissioners were that
half-cooked meat is being served
70 the prisoners, that the pota-
tees they get are cooked several
days before they are served, and
that when the food gets to them
1t is stale.

When the inmates used to get
one bowl of sugar to every IL
men, they are now allowed only
half a bowl of sugar to every 20

The commissioners found that
the food was being served to the
inmate in old rusty tins.
Following the visit, Commits
sioner Reed declared that the sit
uation would be put up to Sheriff
Longmire Immediately and that
an investigation would be started
at once to see that the county
prisoners get proper treatment.

A hurricane was blowing and
made it impossible to launch the

and crews from becoming an
untold sea mystery.
