Notice Regarding
Federal Road Aid

The secretary of agriculture gave out
statement recently to refute the re-
port that states desiring to obtain mon
ey for roads under the federal aid road
act, which appropriated ss5, ,OOO, 600 90,
must build only expensive roads, and to
make it clear that no particular kind of
material will be required or favored by
the department of agriculture to the
detriment of other materials.
'There is no. the slightest truth in
such report" said Secretary Houston.
"This department, which is charged
with the administration of the federal
aid road act, has placed absolutely no
either direct or implied,
upon the kinds of highways to be con
structed. States may submit for ap
proval any kind of road, even earth
road, and approval will be given if the
be substantial in eharac
ter, suitable for traffic needs, and meets
The terms of the federal act. To give
state legislators and highway officials
,he impression that this department ia
7ors only costly types of road, or dis
eliminates in favor Of any special ma
erial, results not only in spreading
nisinformation, bat in placing BARRIERS
n the way OF states which wish to avail
themselves Of federal aid in road con-
trucffon."

Friendly Mems
Bible Class

Tuesday evening the Friendly Mems
Bible class held its postponed monthly
meeting in the assembly room of the
City Library, fifty members and guests
being present. Following the devotion
al exercises the severel committee re-
ports we're received and commented on,
with the exception of the refreshment
committee, which withheld its report
until the evenings program was finish
ed, and the assembly waited very ap.
petizingly for the APPOINTED time.
The building committee reported its
progress, which was so hattering that
tn" class decided to Immediately put in
to execution their plans to provide
home for themselves, by building a
I6x30 addition on the frame building
back of the First Presbyterian church,
formerly occupied by E. Kerrick as
an office, and who kindly presented it
to the class.
Judge NJ. l. Church of Boise, being
guest of the class, was very fttingly
introduced by Judge Russell, and ad-
dressed the class statisticaIly on the pro-
gress and development of Sunday school
work, and dwelt on the subject Of the
power for good that can be accomplish
ed by strongly organized mems bible
clasaes. His address was greatly en-
joyed and appreciated by all present, as
was, also, the small talk made by Rev.
Gauss.
At this stage of the procee iings the
refreshment committee made varied
material report.
