Bonner County Roads
Are In Poor Condition
Officials Are Negligent Of the Northern Auto
Route and the Proposed State Highway
From Standpoint to Elmira

through Bonner county for a state
highway if the road is put in such
shape that it can be taken over
without the state Immediately hav-
ing to rebuild parts of it. This, of
itself, should be reason enough for
Bonner county officials to keep the
road between Elmira and Standpoint
in decent shape.
1t is not necessary to go into the
history of the amount of work which
has been done on this particular
stretch of road this season or the
condition it is in. We have it on
good authority, however, that Bonner
county has had a crew working all
spring on the auto highway from
Standpoint to Clarksfork and Cabinet.
That road is being put into first class
shape, but at the expense of the nor
thern route. 1t looks as though Bon
ner county commissioners have some
object in view in the assignment of
road work, and if so there must be
a strong reason for the great favor
itism shown the southern route. 1t
don't look like a fair deal to the
people of Colburn, Samuels, Elmira,
Macarthur and the districts between.
1t certainly is not fair to the towns
of Boomers Ferry, Libby, and other
localities located along the route for
the National Parks Highway, which
have expended large sums of money
and a great deal of time to put the
roads in their respective districts in
a condition which would attract auto
tourists. When the northerly route
was first talked of Standpoint agreed
and promised to do her part and now
the time has come to make good"

 Sparkling in the morning sky. Where, in long-gone years and ages, Long ere Apache or Navajo was born, Knew the world no mighty sages, Smoked these peaks in silent scorn. Down their valley years unnumbered Where the tourists idly roam, Once the ancient saurian slumbered, Munching herbage from the loam. Thus, in idle fancy dream we Of the past, as down the brook, Back in shadowy ages seem we, As we read from Natures book.
