Good Roads Authorities Hopeful

THE good roads authorities are hope
full that with the existing methods Of
state aid in forty different states and the
proposed federal aid there will be in a
short time four or five roads across the
United States in an east and west di-
rection and the same number north and
south.
There is good assurance that an ade-
quate military transportation system
would be established and maintained in
this country, inasmuch as the govern

Store Adds Fine Counter

T e Cottonwood Mercantile
company installed a fine grocery
counter and accounting system
in their store late last week at an
expense of more than 5000 and
are now better prepared than
ever to look after their trade.
The counter is fitted with some
46 bins for all articles in the gro
Gerry line and small space is
provided in front of each drawer
to be filled with a sample of the
article contained, so the customer
can see from the front of the
counter just what to purchase.
The counter is one of the latest
devices of its kind and is a ma
terial improvement to the store.

the road and it is planned to be-
gin work on the road early in the

permit. With the completion of
a five per cent grade down Seven

Snow Down to Salmon River

The present snow now extends
down to Salmon river and many
of the stockmen have already be-
gun feeding hay to their cattle.
With winter starting in this early
the feed problem will become
serious before spring unless a
break in the season occurs but
many feel that January may
prove to be an open month and
this will aid greatly in tiding
them over until spring. The
stockmen generally are better
prepared with feed than in for
mer years and even should this
prove to be long winter the
losses will not be as great as in
former years.

Eight Big Deer

Miles George and son, William

Woodland drove in last evening
from a two weeks hunting trip
on the Selway, and had with
them eight of the finest bucks
we have seen this season. They
were all of the black tail variety
and averaged from five to six

They stated that the deer were
very plentiful and also the elk,

Idaho Gets the Money

Washington, Dec. 10. The So
licitor of the department of agri-
culture has decided that Idaho
has a state highway system that
conforms to the requirements OF
the federal good roads act, and
entities the state to participate
in federal aid to the fullest ex-
tent.

school land located in the six
northern counties. Of this a.
mount 2040 acres will be offered

state could sell only 16, 900 acres
a year, but will now be able to
sell "a, 900 acres annually.

PLAN GOOD
ROADS MEETING
County Organization to Meet
at Grangeville Next Thurs
day to Outline Plans for Sc
curing Federal Funds.

meeting at Grangevllle, Thurs
day, December 18th, at which
time it is proposed to ascertain
the sentiment of the people on
the proposed bond issue. The
legislators-elect, Messrs. Petit
bone, Hussman and Quinlan, will
also be present and the people
will thus be given an opportunity
to confer with them on proposed
legislation, particularly that per-
tanning to road matters which at
this time is engrossing the atten-
ton of all sections of the county.
While it is not likely that any
action will be taken at this time
to make any definite plans for a
bond issue because matters have
not as yet assumed a character
that would make this advisable
at this time, because much will
depend on the action of the legis-
lature in dealing with state and
federal funds.
However, this is the psycologi-
cal time to deal with this matter
and if we want to share in state
and federal aid it is time some
plan was being worked out
towards that end. The legisla-
tors-elect are anxious to know
the sentiment in general towards
the proposed bond issue for their
efforts in the legislature will de-
pend largely upon whether Idaho
county will fall in line should
they receive liberal state and fed
eral aid.
If our representatives in the
legislature cannot give reason
able assurance that Idaho county
is willing to do something to help
herself and to a. least meet the
terms and conditions approved
by our state Highway Commits
sion it is not likely that the leg
islature will feel we'll disposed
towards our county in alloting
state aid. 1t is a foregone con-
clusion that the legislature will
provide funds to meet the con-
ditions of the federal appropria-
ton so it is only question as tc
where and on what projects that
money will be used.
The way the matter stands the
highway commission has con-
troll over the federal appropria.
ton and the legislature ovel
state funds. 1t is plain therefor
that the highway commission anC
the legislatures must work to
gether and therefor the recomen
dations of the commission will
have a large influence with tina
body. Idaho county is large ant
because of geographical condi
tions needs very, very much
yet her voice in the Legislature
is very small. We are to be con
graduated upon having an abl
representation this session ant
if given the proper encourage
ment at home they will secur
recognition for Idaho county an
no doubt secure a liberal allot
ment of state and federal funds
But if they must ask or beg fo
it without being able to give as
surance that their county will d
something in the way of meetin
them on some reciprocal basis W
no doubt will hold the sack
while longer. This much is Gel
tain they cannot keep other SCI
tions of the state back or figl
the appropriation just becaus
Idaho county is not ready to met
the conditions or unwilling to ia
in line. 1t means state taxt
paid in Idaho for roads built an
maintained in Ada, Bannocl
Boise and other counties.
