Now is the Time.
We haze wonderful country here
both in scenic and agricultul way
but it must be admitted we have been
tardy, very tardy in opening up the
same to the outside world. Good
roads is what we need and will do
more for this county than any half
dozen other things. Give the outside
world an easy way of ingress in
Idaho county, its beauties and its
natural advantages will leave lasting
impressions that wills result in untold
benefits. Let us cultivate just
