Phelan's Boulevard is a wonderful
piece of road building. 1t follows
along the west side of the South Fork
possibly a thousand feet above the
bed of the river, and the roadway is
cut out of the hillside so steep as to
make one almost dizzy to look down.
Great masses Of granite were drilled
and blown up, vast quantities Of earth
were moved, copious springs were cul-
verted and great walls of solid rock
were built on the lower side to retain
the earth fill and prevent washouts

Uncle Sam builds a road, he doesn't
go off and forget all about it; he
provides for its upkeep. Every week
Otto Schultz, a forest employe who
lives at the terminus of the road, ira

it in repair. Rocks are raked off and
the roadbed is kept as smooth as a
floor.

fish absolutely ignore any kind Of

Coupled with this pride in Idaho
must go deep appreciation of what
Uncle Sam has done and is doing
through his forestry department to
make easy of access these scenic won
derlands. Roads that are real roads
have been built where it seemed i'm
possible for a mountain goat to make
his way and automobiles now travel
where pack horses formerly feared to
tread One of these roads was last
year completed from Garden valley to

road. That is a splendid road, too,
and very beautiful in scenic effects.
Alongside the road, about half way
between Garden valley and Banks,

Blazing the trail for this highway
was difficult and dangerous work for
Guy Mains and his assistants, and Mr..
Mains had at least one hair-raising
experience. AS he was rounding cor
ner of granite rocks, he came upon a
full grown cougar that had been TAX
ing nap in the sun. The cougar
awoke and for few moments the two
stared at each other, both too sur
prised to move. Then Guy happened
to think that he had business else
where and the speed with which he
scaled the PERCEPTIONS hillside made
even the cougar ashamed of himself.

Germans in Hold During Search
Hide Four Days.

Two German seamen, who escaped
from internment in Spain and lay snug

at Ellis Island yesterday. They were
Franz Wischnewsh and August Halen-

man steamer Belgrano, interned at Co.
runna, Spain, at the outbreak of the
war. For the five days they were in
hiding they lived on sea water and
black bread.
Two months ago, the pair said, they
decided they could bear inactivity no
longer, and made a break for liberty.
They lodged their guards and fled to
Cadiz. There they obtained jobs as
longshoremen and helped load the An
tonic Lopez. Although realizing New
York was the next port of call, they hid
in the hold, where they nearl y sufo.

later. they were so emaciated that they
were placed under the doctors care in

ported to the immigration officials yes
terday morning and were sent 10 Ellis
Island pending the hearing of their
case. The German Consulate and vari-
Gus German societies have offered to
aid them.

John J. Brown, manager Of the
Kelley Institute at White Plains, de-
clares there has been no quarrel be-
tween him and his wife. But she wants
TO live in New York, while his heart is
filed with patriotic love for the West
chester town. SO he inserted the fol-
lowing advertisement in the New York
papers:

Mr.. Brown, who is cOnvalescing from
an attack of pneumonia, admitted yes

rated two months
"Our separation was brought about
by temperamental disagreement" he
said. There was no quarrel between
Mrs. Brown and myself My wife al
ways wanted TO reside in Manhattan,

impossible That may have caused q
little friction"
Mr.. Brown was president Of the viii

"CLEARERS" STRIKE;
LEAVE THEATRES FLAT
Furniture Shifters Quit; Demand
S1.50 a Show.

Four hundred "clearers"-the men
who place furniture on the stage and
then remove it-served notice on New
York theatrical managers at noon yes
terday that they had gone on strike. In
theatres haying matinees there was an
immediate rush 70 obtain substitutes.
The worst shortage occurred at the
Hippodrome. where eighty men walked
out. The minstrel part of the show re-
quires that AIS chairs be put in place
and then carried away, all within a
certain period of time, and yesterday
afternoon this work had TO be done by
six men.
The clearers are assistant property
men and have nothing TO do with the
scenery. Two weeks ago they served
notice on the United Managers Pro
tective Association that they would not
work for less than $3.50 performance.
The managers refused TO meet this
scale. On Sunday the union met again,
and the strike order was issued.
