kept

In order to avoid accidents, the pub
lie safety department Of the city. Is
asking autoists TO park their cars
only on the river side Of the Absolute
road near the bathing beach at the
foot OF the hill. 1t has been the
practice to park cars on both sides OF
the road, but on account OF the num-
Der of cars being parked this way,
there is little room left for clearance
of autos going along the road. BY
parking along the river side only, 1t
is believed that the danger of acct
dents will be lessened.
Police officers will be on duty at
the beach in the evenings and Sun.
days, and will direct the auto drivers
in the parking of their cars. This
will help to avoid any confusion and
will keep the machines in a line at
the proper side of the road.
For the last week or 50, people
have been patronizing the beach IN
large crowds. Many of them are drlv'
ing out in their cars, and leave them
at the side of the road. Other peo-
pie drive up to watch the bathers,
with the result that there is double
line Of cars parked on both sides OF
the highway. This leaves very
narrow space in the center for traffic,
and while the drivers have been care
full, so far, there Is the constant pos
sibility of smash. Attention OF the
city officials was called to this condi-
ton of affairs. and they are asking
the people to please park only on the
river side. This will allow room on

JOSEPN-DOUMECQ
ROAD BONDS VOTED
Vote Almost UnanimouS--117
For and 20 Against.

The citizens of the Joseph-Doumecq
country at road meeting Friday al
most unanimously voted to bond the
district for $4,000 with which to
build new road to the river to con-
meet with the Gravecreek road to Cot
tonwood. Only 20 out of 1877 votes
were against the proposition.
1t is the intention to start work on
the new road early next Spring and
have it completed before Fall. A
new era of prosperity is in store for
the many enterprising citizens of that
country when this road is completed.
Yves Hockersmith of Salmon river
was in town Tuesday and informed us
that the Gravecreek road, is now in
shape for wagon travel-in fact it is
now in better shape than it ever was
before. For this work about $3.50
was subscribed in cash and work
more than half Of it in cash by the
public-spirited citizens of Cottonwood
Next summer it is the intention to
further improve this road so that
autos can travel over it.
Mr.. Hockersmith says that since
the new road is to be built and pro-
vision made to get out by wagon to do
their trading and market their prod
ucts, a number of people who had
planned to move away from that por-
tion of the country, have changed their
minds and will remain here.
Among these is Mr.. Hockersmith,
who conducts the ferry and hotel or
stopping place on the river at the
mouth of Rocky canyon, four miles
below where Gravecreek empties into
Rocky canyon creek, He is now haul
ing lumber over the Gravecreek road,
with which to enlarge his house, and
says that it is his intention next sum-
mer to make weekly trips with team
to Cottonwood for supplies for the
people Of his locality.
