WALLACE AND THE FOURTH OF
JULY CANYON ROAD.

The Occur d'Alene Press serves no.
tice on the people of Shoshone county
that If they want a decent road
through Fourth of July canyon, they
must build it themselves, or they can
go by way Of Harrison il that enter
prising city falls" for the scheme to
build and maintain a road and ferry
across the lake for the accommoda-
ton of Shoshone county. The people
of this county fully appreciate the
difficulties that confront the business
men of Occur d'Alene in connection
with the Fourth of July road, and the
Good Roads association of this coun-
ty has shown a disposition to cooper
ate with them in every way possible,
but we do not feel up here that this
county is called upon to build the
road. However we have already put
$4,000 into it through private sub
scription. The Press misrepresents
the situation when it would make it
appear that the road west is merely
for the pleasure and accommodation
OF the people of Wallace. While it
would unquestionably serve those pur-
poses, and to a great extent it would
be of the same service to the people
of Occur d'Alene, the real advantage
in having a good road to the west is
to attract travel over the Yellowstone
trail and in this Occur d'Alene should
be even more interested than Wallace
The adjacent lakes would prove
great attraction to tourists, who
would be disposed to linger in their
cooling shades Harrison seems to
appreciate these advantages and is 60
ing after the road, and while the Sho-
shone county Good Roads association
would probably prefer good highway
through Fourth of July canyon, the
advantage is hardly sufficient to JUS
.lfy that organization in undertaking
o build it, and if the Press reflects
he attitude of Occur d'Alene on the
enterprise, it is more than likely that
ne association will get behind the
harrison highway and cooperate in
'utting it through.

ANcE OF MEMORIAL DAY.

Official action has been taken by
Mayor Brown to make the observance
of Memorial day this year more i'm
pressive than ever before, step that
meets the approval of all citizens. We
are just entering into a great war, and
1t is right and proper that we should,
while honoring the memory of those
who offered their lives to their country
In the great conflict half a century
ago, rededicate ourselves to our coun-
try in cause that calls again
for the same supreme sacrifice that
war. Again we are called upon to
fight for human liberty, and no man
knows the price that must be paid in
blood and treasure before the flag of
the free is waving in triumph over
the crumbling monarchies of Europe
Let US then on the approaching
Memorial day draw deeper inspiration
for the great task that lies before u.s.
Let us meet 1t with the same spirit
of fortitude and self-sacrifice that
possessed the patriot dead whose
memory we honor.
1t is proposed that our allies in the
war with Germany adopt our Memoir
ial day and observe it by ceremonies
similar to those that prevail in this
country. 1t is most fitting that they
should do so. For three years they
have fought for those principles for
which our government stands, have
driven back the invading Prussian
who would enslave them under his
tyrannous rule. They have fought with
a heroism and valor unknown except
among men who fight for freedom.
Now that we are engaged in the same
conflict 1t is peculiarly fitting that
they should join us in paying honor
to the memory of those who fell fight
ing for a common cause.
