BOISE ASSUMES TYPICAL ROLE

LEWISTON. Jan. 23.-Boise, Idaho's
capital, is unfriendly to the North
west Livestock show. At least that
is the inference gained from a briefly
stated but heavily headlined news
item appearing in the Boise Capital
News of January 10. The news item
is as follows:
1.-THE Idaho Cattle and Horse
Growers association, which ended its
session Thursday night, went on rec
ord against the proposed legislative
appropriation for the Lewiston live
stock show but most heartily indorsed
the plan for the organization of a
state fair supported by the state. The
association adopted resolutions favor
ing the state fair idea and identical
resolutions were also adopted by the
Idaho State Dairy association, the
Idaho State Swine Growers associa-
ton, the Idaho Livestock association
and the Idaho State Seed Growers
association"

adam resurTaciNg on tTa maih street,
there is hardly a mile of eve paSSably
good roadway in the town proper. AL
most every roadway is a succession of
ruts and waves that make it very I'M
comfortable to ride in any kind Of We
hicle. even at a very low speed. The
main street through which rum a sin
gle track, Il rail, street car line, is
about as bad as it could be and remain
%passable. 1t is even rougher than the
other streets, and as it has been oiled
apparently without preliminary clean
ing-it is a sea OF oily slime in wet
weather. Unfattering as this descrip-
tion may seem, it is conservative rath-
er than overdra wn. And the town
would suffer little in comparison with
some of its neighbors.
"Whatever the reason for the appar-
ent apathy of small town and city Off
Gals, the results are deplorable. Traf-
hc should be as well accommodated
within communities as between com
munities. and it is difficult to under
stand why there should not be enough
civic pride among the citizens of our
smaller municipalities to refuse to toll
crate such street conditions as exist in
many small cities and large towns"

How They Live In Amsterdam.

frequently men Of large business at
fairs have their residences in their Of

per floors are elegantly fitted up, while
the lower floors are occupied as office
quarters, or the lower floors are used
for residential purposes and the upper
floors are warehouses. These homes

nishings, merchandise, etc., are hoist

POOR TOWN STREETS.

Often In Worse Condition Than the
Adjoining Country Highway.
Comment on the poor streets main
tanned by small cities and towns on
main highways, often far inferior to
the country road, increases and points
more commandingly to the need OF
some comprehensive plan that will In
sure uniformity on main roads, inclu-
sive of routes through villages and
towns. The following is from an edi-
torial in Good Roads:
SIT would seem superfluous to call
attention to the fact that continuous
maintenance is as necessary for the
streets of the smaller cities and the
larger towns as it is for country roads,
yet it Is true that in some sections the
main country roads are in much better
condition than are the city and village
streets. Automobiles are well aware
of this, for 1t is forced upon their no.
tice every time they enter or leave any
settlement of sufficient size to be In
trusted with the care of its own high
ways.
"a New England town which serves
admirably as an example of this con-
dition was recently visited by the
writer. 1t is an ordinarily prosperous
community of some 5000 or 5000 in
habitants; it is ideally situated i'll a
region of great natural beauty; it has
fine water power, an unexcelled water
supply and many other natural advan-
tages. 1t is served by two railroads
and is the home of several large manu-
featuring concerns. 1t has an active
and growing organization of business
men and within the last fifteen years
has become an important summer re-
sort. 1t has several unusually fine
churches. good schools and a well
equipped library. Its fire department
is efficient. its streets are well lighted
and there are sidewalks on most OF
the principal thoroughfares.
But the condition of its streets is
indescribably bad. With the exception
