FRIDAY, MARCH %, 1917

Governor Alexander has signed
the million dollar road bill which
insures the building of the north
and south state highway. This
road will pass through Cotton
wood and new survey of the
route across the prairie will no
doubt be made as soon as the
weather will permit. This road
will mean much to Cottonwood
and, with the opening of the
Greencreek cutoff this spring
and possible changes in the road
east of town, together with the
opening of a proposed new road
northwest of town, this town
will soon be on the map as hav-
ing some of the best highways
in this part of the state. The
state highway will also solve the
road problem between Cotton
wood and Ferdinand and will do
away entirely with the present
difficult highway. Good roads
are community's best asset and
Cottonwood has paved the way
for better roads throughout the
county. Citizens of this town
and community secured the pass
age of the present independent
highway law through The legis-
lature and the first highway dis
trict in the county was organized
here. Here also was held the
first meeting for a county move
ment toward good roads and the
securing of the north and south
highway and a local man was
selected as president of the Idaho
County Good Roads association.
Those who are opposed to ad-
vancement of any kind may kick
at the town for its efforts in this
line but they cannot stop prog
ress just the same.
Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1917-03-23

There are a couple of pretty
big nuts to be cracked in Cotton
wood during the coming summer,
and they are not of the Orofino
brand either. If either PROPOSE
ton does not miscarry, and pres
ent indications do not point to
any such possibility, the popula-
ton of this town can be expected
to double within the next few
years. We are not in position to
tip our hand on these PROPOSE
tons just at present but advise
the public to keep an ear to the
ground and they will hear some
thing drop within a reasonably
short time.

With the car of Russia forced
from his throne and King George
of England an acknowledged
blank, and not even considered
by the members of his own par
liment, it looks as if most of the
European crowned heads will be
thrown into the discard when the
war is over and those nations
come forth as republics.

Build a SilO

If you want to save on feed,
Build a silo.
1t will help in time of need;
Build silo.
Build of concrete, if you would;
Build of brick, or build of wood;
Build of anything that's good,
But build a silo.
Dairy feeds are soaringshigh;
Build silo.
Summer seems a-goin' dry;
Build silo.
Cows, too, go dry on hay,
Sort of seem to fall away;
They need silage every day,
So build a silo.
Pasturage costs quite a heap;
Build a silo.
Winter feeds are never cheap;
Build a silo.
Build it wide and build it deep,
'Cordin' to the cows you keep,
And for milk you'll never weep,
So build q silo.
That's the burden of my song,
Build silo.
If you've cows you can't go wrong;
Build a silo.
Milk will flow and smiles'll come,
With the separator's hum,
And you'll shout I'm glad, by gur
l built a silo."
