TRAVELLING WITH DIFFICULTY
OVER BAD PLACES IN ROADS

Martin & Hollis auto stage line be-
tween Salmon and Armstead has all the
business possible to be handled. Every
day the vehicles are crowded TO capa-
city both ways. Last Saturday the
stage to Salmon was compelled TO
leave half q dozen passengers at the
Montana end of the line till the next
days stage this way. Besides this
there were two extra auto loads bound
into the Lemhi valley, each machine
carrying ten or dozen men. The
travellers left at Armstead included
Mayor l.. u. Glennon md Peter Nc
Kinney, the latter finally getting home
In the hmping auto OF Martin
Curran, which met with mishap on the
road in from Dillon.
On Saturday also came two other
automobiles from Armstead and Dillon
crowded with men bound to salmon,
Tendoy and Gilmore, showing some.
thing of a stampede.
Travellers are all complaining about
the wretched road conultions partic-
ularly over ON the Montana side of the

which in dry weather has left it knee
