(,rangeville was the host on Wednes-

X GOOD roads boosters from all over
I,nlo county. enc the local CONNER
dal club made the visitors their guests
1t a splendid luncheon given at the
imperial hotel dining room, at which
sorne seventy were participants.
The occasion Of the meeting was the
recent call made by the executive COM
nittee Of the Idaho County Good Roads
association for joint meeting of the
executive and advisory committees, to-
gether with representative citizens the
county over, to counsel and advise to-
gether as to the best plans for success
fully accomplishing the work for which
ihe organization was originally started,
&, good roads for Idaho county and
adequate highway connection with the
outside world.
The meeting recently held at Cotton
Bood was corker. The meeting held
this week lacked much of the enthus-
iasm and harmony shown in the pre-
Eious meeting, one reason probably
being that the time had arrived for
each SECTION Of the county to present
is needs and ask for its portion of the
innds 70 be expended in case a $780,
geo bond issue was made.
There was good representative at
tendance, a speech was made by A.

lpflcal data on early day good roads
experiences, with finaf figures on the
amounts to be received through the
state and national appropriations in
