ing that Elk River has not had a
square deal in the past, it does not
follow that Elk River is entitled
to all revenue from Clearwater county
timber, even if it is located east of
Elk River. By no theory of govern
ment can the Elk Highway district be
justified. It's contamination would
spell disaster to our county, and will
tend to arouse the people and unite
them behind the first proposit on.
If the plan to organize the first high
way district fails it will now amount
to calamity. Failure will spell
disaster. The proposition simply
amounts to the withdrawal by the
timber interests of every acre of their
holdings from general road and bridge
construction, giving Elk River prac-
tically all of the revenue from large
portion of the county.
This is no time to quarrel. Elk
River is entitled to square deal. 1t
has not had it. But under nc circum.
stances can there be any justice in the
creation of the Elk Highway District.

Caldwell Tribune: There is no
cause for alarm over Mr.. Alexander
and his machine. A machine built
by one man and to serve the purpose
of one man only is no stronger than
the man himself. At the last cleo
tion Mr.. Alexander came with an
ace of political Oblivion. He would
have died where he stood under a
fair count. A man no stronger than
Alexander showed himself to be; and
as flimsy in character as he is known
to be; will not go a long way. He
will flutter around the state house for
two more years and then pass away
politically. To last a man must have
lasting qualities. Buncombe takes
for while but no permanent success
was ever found upon buncombe.
Alexander deals in nothing else

ELK HIGHWAY A SCHEME
To PARAL|zE OUR COUNTY

S. Simonson of Elk River arrived
yesterday evening and filed petition
for the Elk Highway District, taking
in everything from Pierce to Dent and
almost to Teakean. According to the
law if the first highway district, in
Guiding all the county except the
Pierce highway district, is successful
at the special election already called,
the proposed Elk Highway Distict
will be forever stopped, but should it
fail it means the creation of the Elk
Highway district will follow. In
this event the entire timber holdings
of the county will be cut off from
county revenue, and the people will
no longer be able to realize penny
from the timber resources Of Clear
water county. Elk River will sit
back and hog it all. If that is a
square deal, we fail to see it, Grant

Is Dancing DemOralizing.

Bull, in south Idaho, an average
town, appears to be having an
average time over the old, old ques
ton Of dancing in her public schools.
In the last issue of the Bull Pioneer
appeared two column writeup Of a
public meeting. Here are few eX-
corps:
DR.. H. w. Goodspeed caused a
number to gasp audibly at the meeting
of the Community Educational Club
Tuesday evening in the high school
building when he stated. after heartily
endorsing dancing in the public schools
that he did not subscribe to the Bible
the New Testament or belief in God
Almighty. Instantly several were on
their feet, but they were prevented
from making a reply by the chairman
ruling that they were out of order,
AMI that the meeting had not been
called to discuss religious differences
or to engage in personalities.
w. S. Hyde threw bomb-shell in
to the audience by stating that there
is business man in Bull who is re-
sponsible for the ruination of six
girls, declaring that he had seen this
man take young girls in his arms in
the da ice hall in such a way that if
he would do the same thing in any
other place than the dance hall it
would cause the girls mothers to
faint. Fright tonight there is here
in Bull young girl with a nameless
child, said Mr.. Hyde, and he in
ferred that her downfall could be at
trbutt to the dance hall. H. S.
Hobson was strongly opposed to dances
in the public schools. He said that
tie public schools belongs to the peo-
Pile; it has been built for educational
purposes, and he thought the people
ought to have right to say whether
dances were to be given therein or
not.
William Ringert cited several
preachers of the Gospel who had gone
wrong in his time, and they didn I
dance either. 1t W his opinion that
young men and women are not ruined
so much by the public dance. the poo
and billiard hall, as by neglect in the
home. He believes that if they are
given the proper training in the home
they will not wander from the path.
The parent, said Mr.. Ringert, tries t(
shift the responsibility from his owl
shou lders.
Ed. Bracket said he had darcec
for fifteen years, and had gone as fal
as one hundred miles to attend ore
and speaking from experience he die
not believe that it was a great physi
cal developer and so far as its atfeg
u2on the morals he knew of no othe,
pastime that was so demoraliZiEg
He was not in favor of dances il
the public schools.

Gravel Roads.

Gravel roads are cheaper and as
good as the rest" DR.. L. |. Hewes
stated this morning, reviewing the
1915 experiments of the office of pub
lie roads, at the Coed Roads school.
Today was engineers day.
New Hampshire has three trunk
roads of gravel running north from
Massachusetts, earring the immense
traffic of the Northwestern coast, =
DR.. Hewes said. "These roads have
proven most satisfactory, because
they have been built and maintained,
not worked and thereafter left to
Providence.
Experiments carried out further
indicate that the sort of material is
not of such Importance in comparison
to the building, and the proper main
tenance. Again, rolling, compaction,
avoidance of soft spots in finished
surface are the keynotes of properly
constructed roadway.
