ter The cost OF keeping the high
ways in shape is too great and far out
Of proportion to the original cost OF
constructing them"
+. NJ Booth, state highway engi-
neer. in submitting to the commits
sion on the cost Of constructing and
maintaining the roads under the su-
pervision OF the state, said that of
100000 spent on the high ways
since the creation of the commission,
100000 had ben used in grading
and that 100000 had ben expended
in maintaining the dirt roads built
In resolutions adopted by the com
mission it was agreed that the sever
al counties of Southern Idaho thru
which the state highways pass will
be given until July LIST, 1918. in
which TO finance the cost of gravel
ing roads kept up by the state. In
he event that the highways are not
surfaced, the state will not maintain
them.
Counties now engaged in building
highways that are to be maintained
by the state will be given a year
after the completion of he roads In
which to gravel them.
The highway engineer announced
at the netting that the state is spend
ing 20 per cent annually of the origi-
nal cost of dirt roads in keeping them
in condition. Afterward he said that
the money expended for maintenance
purposes did not keep the roads In
shape for travel more than four or
five months out OF the year. His
statement was Endorsed by Commits

WOMAN WITH WHIP
 BOUTS KIDNAPER

Cooks Falls, N. Y, Sept. 17.-Po- lie, are Investigating the complaint of Durand Sawtelle, 29 years old, that a woman horse-whipped him in an un- successful attempt he made to get possession of his four-year-old nep- hew, Louis Sawtelle.
 Sawtelle, who lives in West Pawl- ing, went to the home of his brother, Clarence Sawtells diorced wife, in Gregorytown, near Cooks Falls, and, seizing the boy from the veranda, started to run to taxicab down the road. Mrs. Anna Keegan, who was taking care of the child in the ab- sence of it's mother, ordered Sawtella to drop the youngster. When he re- fused, she grabbed rawhide from a wagon in front of the house and be- gan flogging Sawtelle as he ran. Finally, she lashed him so furiously that he had to put the boy down and run. The police, to whom he showed wets on his arms and legs, refused to interfere when he admitted that Mrs. Sawtelle had divorced her hus- band 4and had legal custody of3 the boy. "He got all that was coming to him." said Mrs. Keegan to the po- lice.
