PROVIDES ONE MILLION
FOR STATE HIGHWAYS

The million dollar good road
bond issue bill that originated in
the house of representatives, was
passed by that body Saturday af-
ternoon and sent to the senate.
If approved by the upper house
and signed by the governor, Ida
no will be placed in a position to
do greater internal road develop
ment within the next two years
than at any other time in its his

NEW ORDER HAS
ONE HUNDRED MEMBERS

The Knights and Ladies of
Security, the new order which was
recently formed here, held its
second meeting Monday night in
the Eagle Hall. A class of
twenty-four was initiated into the
order by the officers with the as
sistance of the district manager,
Harry Roman.
The order is founded on prin-
ciDles of benefit and contains an
insurance which is proving very
acceptable. The regular meet
ings of the order will be held on
the second and fourth Mondays of
each month. A class of seven
teen aspir.nts will be. taken in
to the mysteries of the lodge at
the next meeting, making over
one hundred members in all.
After the lodge work was COM
pleted last night a banquet and
dance was participated in and all
thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

WASTE PAPER is
BEING GATHERED

The gathering Of waste paper is
still on the increase in this city
as we'll as elsewhere. The M. e..
Ladies Aid on Saturday shipped
1900 pounds to the Northern
Board and Paper company. The
ladies are planning to make
monthly shipments of paper to
this company and wish that all
would assist in making the ship
Inents as large as possible. The
basement of the church is the de-
pository and all donations will be
gladly received and cared for.
The Presbyterian Sunday
school recently shipped 1881
pounds of waste paper to Spokane
it being the first shipment that
was sent out of the city
A considerable quantity of waste
paper Of various kinds coulC
probably be collected in the city
which, at the present high price
of paper, would realize con
siderable sum.

MORE STRINGENT
PROHIBITION LAW

Idaho is going to have the
bone-dry prohibition laws OF
other states shaded into oblivion,
if the recommendation of the
house of representatives on
house bill No. 1863, the prohibi-
ton codihcation act, is carried
out to the letter. The bill has
been in the committee of the
whole, was recommended out for
passage and the report adopted
without conflict. AS drafted this
bill makes possession of any kind

vents its transportation, and IN
fact, gives John Barleycorn the
last blow he could possibly re-

FRIDAY NIGHT

The local high school basket
ball team will make its final ap-
pearance on the home floor next
Friday night when it will battle
with its old rival, the Plummer
high school. The ST. Maries boys
have never yet succeeded in de-
feating the Plummer team, but it
is thought the latter will stand Il
poorer chance this year against
the fast home team. Plummer
refused a game early in the sea-

feating the Tekoa team last week
