GOOD ROADS MOVE
MENT LAUNCHED
IN COUNTY
MEETING OF ASSOCIATION TODAY
BRINGS LARGE OUTSIDE AT
MAKE Way FOR BOND ISSUE
$500,0O0 Bond Issue to Voters in
the Near Future.

Marked by an outside attendance of
over FORTY leading citizens of their res.
pective section, the good road meeting
being held in Grangeville today is prov
ing one of the most enthusiastic ever
held in Idaho county. The meeting was
called for the purpose of having the
views of the association expressed to
the Idaho county legislators, Senator
N. B. Pettibone and Representatives
Hussman and Quinlan, who are in atten-
dance. The association is working as a
unit and action taken yesterday was of
a unanimous character, there being no
question as to where Idaho county
stands on the good road movement.
From the sentiment expressed it is
evident this county is prepared to go as
far or farther than any other county
in the state when it comes to building
a system of better highways, realizing
fully the necessity and advantage that
occurs from better highways.
The meeting was called to convene at
ten this morning and the forenoon ses-
sion was taken up with routine matters
and after luncheon at the Imperial as
guests of the commercial club, the after
noon session convened at one thirty and
adjourned at six in the evening during
which time the views of the associa-
tion were obtained and the legislators
enlightened as to what Idaho county
would do if given proper assistance by
the state.
In a motion offered by Frank Fogg
and seconded by s. A. Anderson, going
through by an unanimous vote, it was
expressed as the sense of the meeting
that at the proper time the county com
missioners of Idaho county submit to
the voters the proposition of issuing
bonds in the sum of not less than $500,
900 for the purpose of road construction
in the county; providing that an equi
table distribution of the same be made
to the various sections of the county.

SERIOUSLY INJURED
. ON THE MOUNTAIN
SUNDAY
STEVE RosSITER RECEIVES SERI-
GUS INJURIES BY BEING DRAG
GED UNDER LOADED SLED.
RECEIVED internal INJURIES
Remains Unconscious and Outcome
Very Grave-Unable to Explain
How Accident Occurred.

A mighty serious accident which may
result in the death of Steve Rossiter, a
well known citizen of this city, occurred
Sunday afternoon when Mr.. Rossiter
was on his way from the foothills to
the city with load of wood and poles.
1t appears Rossiter had left for town
some time Sunday afternoon with a
load of wood and poles and reached
the top of the hill when in some way he
was knocked from the load, presumably
by a pole which struck him when the
load shifted, and fell under the sled,
being dragged some little distance un-
der the sled. Charles Calkins, who was
some little distance ahead of Rossiter
with load, was the first to discover
the man, the Rossiter team running
down the road to where Calkins was.
Calkins realized something had happen
ed and made his way up the hill near the
top of which he found Rossiter, cut
and bleeding and unconscious.
Shortly after James Chandler, who
was following Rossiter, arrived on the
scene and the two men loaded up the
victim of the accident and brought him
to his home in this city. DR.. Stockton
was Immediately called and found Mr..
Rossiter suffering from internal IN
ternal injuries and in great pain.
He has remained more or less uncon-
scious since the accident, occasionally
for a short time regaining his normal
condition unable to explain just how
the accident happened before again re-
lapsing into Inconsistencies. He is be-
ing made as comfortable as possible
and everything being done that can be
but apparently has received internal
injuries which make his recovery doubt
full. 1t is the hope of his many friends
that turn for the better will occur
and his recovery be brought about.

PASS THE APPLE ROUND AGAIN.
When every pool in Eden a mirror
That unto Eve her dainty charms proclaimed
She went undraped without single fear or y
Thought that she had need to be ashamed
Twas only when she'd eaten of the apple
That she became inclined to be a prude i
And found that evermore she'd have to grappe
With the much debated problem of the nude L
Thereafter she devoted her attention
Her time and all her money to her clothes
And that was the beginning of convention
And modesty, WE'LL so 1 suppose
Reactions came about in fashions recent
Now girls conceal so little from the men,
1t would seem that in the name of all that's decent
Some one ought to pass the apple round again

Third Section Arrives.
At $3.50 o'elock the third and be-
lated section of the Second Idaho regi-
ment train crept into Boise. A great
crowd was at the depot, especially
mothers and friends of the members of
Company H-Boise's IS pride, but as they
scattered from the train in the dark
ness many missed their relatives and
friends. They were united later. 1t
was learned that the third section
started second from Nogales, but had a
break down near Yuma and was passed
by the third section. From that time
ON it had bad luck and did not make
good time on the entire trip.
1t was planned before reaching Boise
that no attempt would be made to
move any of the equipment or march
to the barracks but that the men would
occupy the sleepers over night, being
released upon arriving here to go where
they desired, but with orders for those
who did not have homes in Boise to re
turn to the train by midnight. Need
less to say there was no holding the
men of Company H when the train stop.

soon as it arrived, they found empty
coaches or could just see line of
khaki uniforms making an exit at the
other end.
Men Like Quarters.
Thanks to the activity of Major Mar
fo.n
Adjutant General Moody, together with
their assistants, the barracks were in
excellent shape to receive the regiment.
Incidentally the warm buildings felt
mighty good to the troops, judging from
the expressions heard. "'Say, but this
is a cold country - remarked one vcuth
as he shivered. "Why, down at
Nogales it $ summer compared to this

Similar remarks were heard from many
other soldiers. They admitted it was
cold at Nogales at night, but declared
they always managed to thaw out in the
daytime. They seemed to be well pleasd
over the preparations that had been

at the barracks looked inviting. The

This rock stands to the per rcpdicular height of 225 feet, and from this point a person can set good view of the country, both south and west, fo! many miles. One is n0t compelled to go to the rocky peaks of Colorado to see a beautiful sunset for from this rock there is none much prettier As the sun sinks behind the blue ridge in the west it iooKs as though it were a ball of fire and the clouds tented by it's rays together with tl.e mjrrow of the sun in the river below forms a picture prettier than any artist has ever been able to paint.
 There are several places in Arkan- sas called Lovers Leep' but the but is said to be facts. The Fort was once owned by Captain Logan H. Roots. a captain in the U. $. Army, from whom it took it's name. Captain Roots sold it to the U. S. for an army post. The reservation contains HOO acres.
 Here is the story cf how this par ticular point got it's name Of Lovers Leap: Captain Roots had daugh- ter, who was in love with a private in the |. s. army. He refused to let her see him. Her lover took sick and while on his death bed. he sent Tor her and begged the Captain to let her come. but the privates request was denied He died not getting to tell her bood-bye. After his death, the daugh- ter was so grieved and heart broken that she took her own life by leaping from the Big Rock. She dropped her handkerchief on the rock This was tie means by which they found her body mangled on the rocks 225 feet below. Hence. in tradition this rock is known as Lovers Leep."

TWENTY-FOUR
FULL GROWN
AFRICAN LIONS

Twenty-four full grown, jungle
bred, man-eating African lions in one
bunch is a very unusual spectacle
unusual even in these days of great
things in every line. More particular
ly is this true when such a sight may
be witnessed for ones entertainment.
Some centuries have passed since
Nero introduced man-eating cats as a
form of entertainment, and while di-
| abolical scenes such as those perpe-
trated by him, cannot now be witness
ed, there are scenes in which lions are
used, of decidedly thrilling charac-
| ter.
A sensational, thrilling act of this
nature is introduced on the program
| of the Barnes Circus, the lions being
| in charge of Herr. Louie Roth, one
of the worlds most famed trainers
of wild animals.
Twentyfour of the great beasts are
assembled in an act, headed by Caesar,
said to be the finest and fercest spe-
cimen of his race in captivity. The
very acme of trained lion perfection is
represented in this groupe and their
value is placed at $4,000.
The entire lot are turned loose at
one time in the steel-barred arena in
the center ofthe shows big tent, Herr
Roth along in their midst. The mas
terly control exercised by Roth over
the great cats is very remarkable and
amazing.
Crowding his way among them,
armed only with a small whip, he,
with sharp words of command, makes
every lion go through some maneuver
Mounting them into a pyramid, with
Caesar at the top, Roth climbs up and
straddles the snarling beasts back.
After arranging the animals in a
pile on the floor, the trainer lies on the
topmost one. The daring of this chap
is fairly "devilish," and the audience
gets thrill after thrill.
Though of a quiet, unassuming dis
position, Roth's control over wild ami
mails is fairly electrifying When ask
ed if this influence is hypnotic, Roth
says he doesn't know. To the onlook-
er, however, it looks like the simon
pure stuff.
