Work is being rushed rapidly on the
survey for the portion of the North and
South highway between Grangeyille and
Whitebird, said f. NJ. Booth, former
state highway engineer, who was in
Grangeville Friday, after having in
spected highway work in the Salmon
river country. Mr.. Booth was accom-
panied by H. G. Allen of Wallace, who
has been appointed state highway en-
gineer. Mr.. Booth resigned his posi-
tion to enlist in the L. s. army.
The surveyors are now engaged in
clearing up the work, in order to make

to have surveys made of both routes;
the two will then be compared, and
the permanent location, says the Lewis

Feels Call of His Country
When the state highway commission
was in session in Boise last month, Mr.
Booth presented his resignation because
he intended to join the colors. Mr.
Booth took the stand that he could not
serve two masters and that, as his
country needed him and he is without
immediate dependents, it was his duty
to enlist Some time ago he made ap
| plication to join the engineers and
within a short time he will be wearing
the uniform of his country. He ha.
agreed to lend the new state highway
engineer every assistance that he can

HONE GUARD TO

IN THE STATE.
War Department Declines to
Permit Battalion of Ma
tional Guard to Be Per
fected.
Plan Would Interfere With
Draft Law Soon to Be-
come Effective Again
Federal Recognition for
Home Troops.

While the war department declined
to permit the organization of bat
TALON of national guard because of the
draft which will draw upon available
men within age limitations for military
service. the adjutant general of the
army will permit organization of state
guards which will receive the recog-
milton of the war department, and will
be empowered to guard life and prop
erty within the state when needed.
Suggestive plans for the organization
of such guard are asked from all
state adjutant generals, and Adjutant
General C. S. Moody of Idaho has for
warded some suggestions. he says.
GOVERNOR MADE REQUEST.
It was announced a short time ago
by Governor Alexander that he had
requested the adjutant general to Sc
cure permission from the war depart
ment to organize a battalion of 400
men, or four companies of 100 men
each, the companies to be located in
various cities advaEtageously located
In various parts of the state. General
Moody complied with the request. The
adjutant general has since informed
him that the second draft Is about to
20 into effect and the organization of
troops under the national guard would
draw upon those llen and in that
way interfere with the draft. While
declining to permit the springing up
of national guard organization, he
said that the war department will give
recognition to q state guard.
The plans for the state guard which
numerous states in the union beside
Idaho now want, are ing formed on
the plans and suggestions submitted by
tho adjutant generals Of the various
states.
COUNCIL so RECOMMENDED.
lit is likely that the organization
will take on the appearance Of a home

Gil of defense requested organized some
time ago. The members OF the home

easily as members Of the old nationa
