AT WORK ON
STATE HIGHWAY
Arrangements Completed to
Finance Road to Grangeville
Time for Prairie Districts
to Get Busy.

State highway engineer E. M.
Booth was in the city Wednes-
day afternoon enroute from Nez-
perce to Grangeville and spent
several hours discussing the va
rious features Of the north and
south state highway with local
citizens. He went on to Grange
vile that evening where large
meeting was held to plan ways
and means for completing the
financing of the link of state
highway from White Bird to
Grangeville. Citizens from both
Cottonwood and Ferdinand at
tended this meeting and bring
back word that positive assur-
ance was given Engineer Booth
that the $4,000 needed to guar
antee the county's part of this
road construction would be forth
coming whenever the state saw
fit to award the contract for this
piece of work. The sum to be
raised will be secured by a bond
issue in White Bird, Lake and
Grangeville highway districts.
This move places the state high
way commission in position to at
once take up the preliminary
work of building the state road
down Salmon river from the
Adams county line to Grange
vile, the citizens of Adams coun-
ty having voted a 100000 bond
some two weeks ago to complete
" the highway through their coun-
ty.
With full assurance of the road
being completed to Grangeville,
it is now up to the residents of
the prairie country to get busy
and raise the money necessary
to secure the setting aside of
sufficient state and federal funds
to guarantee the construction of
the road to the north line Of the
county north of Ferdinand. The
matter of completing the high
way through the county instead
of stopping temporarily at
Grangeville was discussed with
Engineer Booth, who stated that
if the county's portion of the
money was guaranteed to the
highway commission the states
one-third would be set aside for
such purpose and could not then
be diverted to other projects in
various portions of the state,
which would certainly happen
should the residents of this coun-
ty fail to show the proper spirit
in keeping their promise to the
state in this regard. This does
not mean that the road across
the poairie would be built this
year, but the state fund available
for this work would be appor-
toned and could not be used
elsewhere, while the county
bonds could be voted and not
sold until the money was actually
needed when construction was
commenced.
When the state and federal
funds were apportioned to the
north and south highway project
last winter it was upon the as
surance that the counties to be
traversed would raise their por-
tion of the sum needed at the
proper time and all have done
this except Idaho and Lewis, the
state taking care of all of the
cost of the highway through this
county south from White Bird
and offering to stand one-third
of the cost from that place to the
north county line.
Under existing conditions it is
doubtful if a county bond issue
would carry but it is believed the
road can be constructed across
the prairie by the various high
way districts, each bonding for
sufficient to take care of its por-

If At First You Don't
Succeed, Keep On. But We're
Guaranteeing Happiness

Back east, in New York, Harry Far
mum has got Eyes" from Miss Viola
Trueman. after sparkling her for IL years
and getting the mitten 1000 times.
Someone is likely to get cheated IN
this affair.
ANY woman who has said no TO fell
low thousand times is going to have an
awfully hard time breaking up the habit,
after marriage.
The tendency is. rather, TO say two
noes, after marriage, where one was said
before.
There's a mighty difference between
marrying a girl whom you've courted for
eleven solid years and who has given you
whole clothes-line full of mittens, and
marrying a girl who is so glad that she
lust grabs you and won't let go.
There's the makings Of chronic boss
in the one and the markings of delight
some angel in the other.
Then. too consider the awful big stock
~ anticipation that Harry has worked
NJ for himself.

elderly people who testify that there are
about ten points of fun in anticipation to
one in realization.

countries think otherwise and prefer
gymnastics and games in its place.
Therefore the cure for whatever it is
that ails US, cannot be found in so sim
pie a way.
Train all the youth of this country
and you will have an army, and If the
men who are back of this thing would
stand firmly upon that basis, no one
could do less than agree with them.
II would then be the question Of
whether it was an army or not that We
desire
And we do not Not that kind.
The best that we can say for them
is that they belong to an older genera
ton - the generation that is passing
away; the generation that in all ages is
always passing away, but in its passing
clings to the coat tails of progress and
makes its upward passage that more
burdensome and difficult
We can see these generations in the
past standing by the divine right Of
kings, UNFOLDING as holy institution the
Spanish inqulsltlon; burning witches
calling men who braved public opinion
and stood by their ideals, traitors; send
ing untried prisoners to Siberia; lobby
ing for child labor, claiming lunatics and
throwing them into kennels.
Not that these men who voted for the
Culver bill would do any of these things,
but that this is what the left over gen.
erations always do.
For those who voted against the bill
were the younger men who voted NO
almost TO man.
Are men. then, less courageous today
than formerly?
Are they less prone to exert them
selves and give their lives, If need be,
for great principles?
We do not believe it.
The younger generation, as whole,
looks at this war quite impartially.
II sees no great principle involved.
Should we wish TO instill in our inn
questionable youth the terrible, criminal
fallacy of the glory Of war?

Conspicuous among these IL the fac

that no means should BE- neglected

{ Wasn't, of Course, the
Hiehest Ambition, But Not
Every Man Could Qualify

Edward Barnett, alderman from the
Third ward. whose body will be borne
70 the grave today. was type known
10 politics.
In the Third ward, in the gay cafe life
Of the East Side that is just off Wood
ward. and in Detroit's underworld,
where nobody ever heard of Edward
Barnett. Eddie" Barnett was known by
sisht and called Eddie" by thousands
And in behalf of these, Eddie" Bar
nett called United States senators, con-
rressmen, governors, judges, police
commissioners - all by THEIR first
names, and these same dignitaries liked
70 be called by their first names-lt
gave them chance to call him Eddie.
Eddie" Barnett, in the earlier days
Of unique career. was as essential to
politics and to big men in politics as the
i've spot is to deck of playing cards
when the game is pedro, because ne
could deliver the goods.
The goods" depended upon what was
needed, maybe votes, maybe delegates
maybe just man or number of men.
That is the way he got his start.
The big fish needed him, and he said
% the big fish: THE smaller fish need
me as you bigger fish need me. You
need the smaller fish, too; so, thru me,
you must take care of the smaller fish.
That was the pact and 1T WAS
NEVER BROKEN by Eddie" Barnett.
He drew the unfavorable publicity
times without number and suffered that
bublicity when it belonged to others
when it belonged to men whose stand
hss in the community, socially and
politically, were due to the fact that
eddie" Barnett was WILLING to do
the suffering.
Politics was his profession.
He made a success of it.
As an alderman, he brought to the
common council knowledge of city af-
fairs and conditions and angles possess
I'd by few.
In public Office he had his friends to
serve and his enemies to punish and
INIT diligently on both jobs.
He does not die unadmired of men, by
my means.
He dies mourned by unfortunate men
and women who claimed him from his
hsne at all hours If the night to get
fhHn ont. For these his hand went
frequently into his pocket.
He made the place for himself in poll
ties, in his ward and in his city that he
wanted for himself--which is 10 say,
HE DID WHAT HE SET OUT TO DO.
1t may not have been the Hottest star
to which he hitched his ambition, but
his ambition was achieved.
And it was, by the way, an ambition
not easily to be reached by every man,
because it called first for the absolute
confidence of those bigger men whom
Eddie" Barnett served.
There were some interesting stories
he might have told, but the telling of
them would have meant a trust be-
trayed, and he dies with them untold.
Eddie" Barnett's word was as good
as his bond.
THAT cannot be said of every man.
