Idaho county's one great need is
more good roads. Every pound OF pro
duce grown on the farm has to be
hauled over the wagon roads before
1t can be shipped out over the rail-
roads and 1t Is highly essential that
the highways be improved as rapidly
as possible. Every poor piece of road
costs the people who have to travel
1t hundreds OF dollars each year In ex-
cessiye hauling costs, wear and tear
TO rigs, harness and h0rsehesh, and In
money spent to repair and keep road
In passable condition A half million
dollar bond issue may look pretty large
but 1t Is a safe bet that If our roads
could all be placed in first class shape
over night we would never go back
again to- the old state OF affairs, no
matter what the change cost. 1t would
be easier to go back to the time be-
fora railroads, steamships, the tele-
phone and telegraph were In existence
than to get along without good roads.
Why not then, Ii good roads are so
important to the success of a country
aud its people, go after and get them.
Judging from the variety Of express
sions eminating from the three towns
down on the Clearwater 1t looks as IL
