HIGHWAYS
MUST HAVE
ATTENTION
Matter Up For Lively Discussion al
Chamber Of Commerce
Luncheon

Fred c. MCGOWAN came to bat again
at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon
today insisting that this community
must do something along the line of
good roads. He insisted that this COM
munity should have both state and
federal help in the construction of
portion of the interstate highway sys-
tenn. LOlo Pass, Mr. MCGOWAN said,
pointed out as the lowest pass over
he Rocky mountains and because of
the grades and the wonderful scenery
it is certain to be the popular trans
continental route, especially for\ the
tremendous eastern and southern
traffic that converges at N1issoula on
the other side. Much of this tourist
travel can be diverted at Arrow and
brought through Moscow by way Of
Juliaetta, Kendrick and Troy if the
people of this community can be in
duced to move with enough energy. |
This road would give a grade of less |
than three per cent compared with the |
Uniontown grade of seven per cent and |
would shorten the road to Spokane by |
25 miles.
Mr. MCGOWAN told of what he saw
at Coulee City in the Big Bend coun-
Try with tourist autos passing through
rom all states. He urged the crea- .
lion of a publicity bureau to work
lnder the auspices of the Chamber of .
Commerce to bring the advantage of .
his proposition forcibly before the cit .
ZenS of Latah county. ,
North and South Road
NJ. E. Lewis, in telling of his jitney 4
rip to southern Idaho, emphasized
very point made by Mr.. MCGOWAN. He
old of his trip south over the north i
nd south road, "the rottenest piece
I road he ever saw" Contracts, he
aid were being let for work on this
Dad, but it will be some time yet be-
ore the way is open to automobiles. b
Senator Lewis returned home by j.
ay of Baker City and Pendleton but r
e insisted that the best roads he ii
'und anywhere were the sand surfac- p
roads of Latah county. He said b
lat where large stones were used in II
Dad construction they were certain d.
work to the surface in time and de- ii
roy the highway. b,
Wants Moscow Sign Posts
One point that Senator Lewis insist
on was the erection of sign posts :,

Republicans be indicted. Al
though the Democratic inspectors de-
clare they did not count or handle the
Republican ballots, the law provides
that the entire board shall canvass

custom which prevailed In the days

probably have TO make explanations

The first case presented to the
Grand Jury for consideration was
that OF the Fifth Election District Of
the Seventeenth Assembly District.
The returns from this district made

night OF the primary showed that

chel 90 more votes than he got and
credited Bennett with 10 votes les,
than were cast for him.
In the Seventh Election District OF
the Eighteenth Assembly District
there Is shown, on the face OF the
ballots and tally slips, discrepancy
OF thirty-fouT votes. The Fifteenth
Election District OF the Sixteenth
Assembly District shows a wrong
count involving thirty-seven ballots.
The others are nearly as bad.
There was no oral evidence in
troduced before the Grand Jury in
the cases submitted to-day. The ball
lots and the tally sheets told their
own story. II Is simply question Of
fact and, in case indictments are re-
turned. the indicted election officials
will have to make plain to jury
how they happened TO count ballots
that were not cast and how they
credited ballots cast for one candidate
10 another.
The District Attorneys Office is
busily engaged in working on ballots
showing erasures or other markings
~hdch should have invalidated them
IN the count. These will be presented
to the Grand Jury as soon as the
election districts which returned false
totals are out OF the way.
