The residents of the Fem highway
district are to be congratulated on hav
ing and maintaining some of the best
highways in Idaho county and we hope
they appreciate them fully as much as
the autoists who travel there whenever
occasion will permit. OF course, roads
are easy to build in that district but il
takes work to keep them in the best
condition, as can be easily seen by a
comparison of the roads that are drag
ged with those where the drag is sell
dom used. 1t might be time well spent
for the residents of this and other dis
tricts on the prairie to travel the Fem
roads occasionally and appreciate how
good they really are. : Cottonwood
Chronicle.
