we'll attended.

TO EXTEND
STATE HIGHWAY
Southern Counties Plan to
Connect With Oregon and
Nevada and Tap Lincoln
Highway to California.

State Highway Engineer Booth
who reached the city yesterday
from Boise, brings the informa-
tion of a further important de-
velopment in connection with the
north and south state highway.
The development applies to plans
now receiving initial attention
for connecting the highway with
a link to run through Oregon and
Winnemucca into Nevada and
there connecting with the Lin
coin highway affording a con-
venient route into California.
The movement organized t
Caldwell. The north and south
road reaches Caldwell after pass
ing through Weiser. The people
Of the northwestern section of
Owyhee county are joining with
the Caldwell people for thirty
mile road from Caldwell that will
reach the Oregon line, here strik-
ing Malhuer county. The people
of the latter county are organiz-
ing to carry the road through
that country to the Nevada line,
when the Winnemucca people
will promote the construction
to connection with the Lincoln
highway.
The plans have proceeded to
such point that in the early
spring, Engineer Booth will,
with Malhuer county and Win
nemucca people, make a trip over
the route.
Mr.. Booth will spend about
week in Lewiston and vicinity.
While here he will meet the
commissioners of the Lapwai and
Clearwater highway districts and
will also make an inspection of
the progress of work on the Lew
iston Hill state highway. Mon

Coleman Now Be Paroled

Boise, Dec. %. - The state
board of pardons today recon-
sidered the application of Fred
Coleman, former defaulting dep
uty state treasurer who confessed
to the embezzlement Of 500, 900
for which he is serving time in
the state penitentiary, and will
release him in February. This
was accomplished by fixing his
sentence at two and a half years.
Coleman was sentenced Decem-
ber 26, 1914, to from two and a
half to ten years. By fixing his
sentence after serving the mini
mum he will serve but another
month. Good time accounts for
the minimum expiring then.
The entire board refused to
pardon either Coleman or Allen,
defaulting treasurer, yesterday.
Today it denied Allen a parole.
Secretary of State Barker asked
consideration of the Coleman
case on the grounds he thought
ne was entitled to leniency for
helping the state trace the falsi-
fled treasury book i. s.records SO
that it could recover losses from
the looting of the treasury, He
moved to fix the sentence and
voted to do so with Attorney
General Peterson. Gov. Alex
ander voted against it. The
Coleman confession two years
ago created statewide sensa-
tion, as did Aliens.
The board also granted par
don to Joseph Siciliano, sentenced
from Bannock county for second
degree murder to serve from 35
years to life. He started service
of sentence January ID, 1914.
Siciliano murdered q fellow
countryman in restaurant at
Pocatello.

Idaho Regiment at Boise

Boise, Dec. %. The Second
Idaho regiment which returned
to Boise today from Nogales
where six months were spent in
border duty was given a noisy,
enthusiastic welcome by thous-
ands of people. Tonight the reg
iment is comfortably quartered
in the buildings at the Boise bar
racks. The first battalion arriv-
at 3:55 o'clock, the second q half
hour later and the third in the
evening. Officers and enlisted
men look the picture of health.
There is not a man on the hospit-
al list. From the warm climate
of the border they travelled across
Idaho today in a mild December
snow storm. The regiment will
be held here for rehabilitation
until after the converting of the
legislature Jan. 9th.
Whistles screamed, bells rang
and shouts from the multitude of
people at the Oregon Short Line
depot greeted the returning SOL
diers. AS each battalion arrived
it marched through a dense mass
of people in the business section
of the city, to the stirring music
of the regimental band. Thun-
derous cheers greeted them. Of
ficers and enlisted men declare
they are as happy to be home as
Idahoans are to see them. There
has been no military demonstra-
ton like the one in Boise today
for many years.

Another Trusty Goes Wrong

One of the convicts from the
road camp known in White Bird
as Happy, a name adopted by
himself, for some reason un-
known to the good people of
White Bird, last week forged the
name of one of the Salmon River
State Banks customers, which
was detected when presented to
the bank, the same being passed
on party in Grangeville.
The White Bird bank is a mem
ber Of the American Bankers
Association, which has the SER
vices of the Burns Detective
Agency to look after all depreda-
tions, against member banks.
Happy" will no doubt be re-
turned to Boise for safe keeping.
DIR. Macneill of this place, ac-
cepted the check which was
forged with the name of C. M.
Cone and endorsed by Happy, 3"
for professional services. But
the forgery did not get further
than the cashiers window. -

Sign for New Lyceum Course

Miss B. Mawrence, business
representative of the Redpath
Lyceum bureau, was in the city
yesterday and closed a contract
last evening with the commercial
club for a lyceum course for the
winter of 1918. The numbers
of the present course have prov
en- so highly satisfactory that the
club had little hesitancy in con-
tracing for a course for next
winter, and by so doing will
bring to Cottonwood some of the
finest musical and educational
talent in the entire country,
which many of our people would
otherwise not have an opportu-
nifty of hearing.
The course contracted for yes
terday consists of the following
numbers: The Ada Roach COM
pany of six people in a light op-
eretta, "The Heart of the Emf
grant," t h e Means-Anderson
trio, the Homeland male quar-
tette, the St. Clair sisters and
Rollo Mcbride, lecturer. These
are some exceptionally fine num-
bers and are sure to please the
local public. Season tickets will
be placed on sale early in the
summer.

Christmas Tree a Success

The community Christmas tree
and entertainment given last
Sunday evening at the K. of c..
hall proved a complete success
in every sense of the word. The
big hall was filled to full capacity
at an early hour and the moving
picture program was thoroughly
enjoyed. Afterward the special
Christmas program was rendered
and the recitations, music and
songs met with rounds of ap-
plause, the selections of the male
quartet meeting with especial ap-
prOval. The tree was beauti-
fully decorated and was aglow
from top to bottom with colored
electric lights and when old
Santa appeared on the scene
the little folks went wild with
excitement and joy. Following
the distribution of gifts from the
tree, packages of candy, fruit
and nuts were presented to each
child as the crowd left the hall
and many hearts were thereby
made happy that otherwise
might have thought Christmas
nought but an empty name.

Break Convict Camp Friday

County Commissioner John D.
Long was notified yesterday by
Engineer Hazard, in charge of
the convict camp at White Bird,
where they have been working
this season on the North and
South highway, that camp would
be broken there Friday morning
and the men would start at once
on their trip to southern Idaho.
Mr.. Hazard stated that the work
on the road would be completed
today and that the funds having
been exhausted they would not
be able to remain longer. The
engineers made a decidedly in
accurate estimate on the cost of
the construction of the road from
White Bird to the ferry, after
wards revising the first estimate
a time or two without arriving at
a correct conclusion. AS is now
being left, there is really no con-
nection with the new road from
White Bird and it still requires a
considerable sum of money to
complete it in shape for heavy
hauling, as it will be necessary
to put a bridge across White Bird
reek.-Globe.
