D0umecq Highway Bond Election.
The bounced Highway bond election
has been called for the 28th inst, to
provide funds to help build the bridge
across Salmon river near White Bird
creek, and for improvements on the
other roads In the district
The citizens have been anxiously
awaiting the opportunity to do their
part i'm this great Improvement, and
only the press of late spring work has
retarded the movement. There does
not seem to be N dissenting voice
among the voters, against the bond Is
sue, and we confidently look for a
unanimous consent 70 the bond. For
part of Doumecq Plains, road down
Rice creek would be more convenient
To railroad communication provided
that there was a road on the east side
OF the Salmon river To connect with
Realizing the impossibility OF any such
connection ut the present time the citi-
zens Of that part OF the plains who
would be directly benefited by 1t, have
decided that their immediate interests
will be better served by the connec-
ton now offered with the north and
south highway: this makes the whole
territory unit on the question, and
It will be merely matter of counting
the votes and making the returns TO
satisfy the bond buyers.
The citizenry Of the Doumecq are
noted for their hard-headed common
sense, and though some belief was at
one time expressed OF the possibility
OF the failure OF bond issue In that
district, no one with a knowledge of
the conditions there, ever thought that
they would turn down the offer Of
$17.5O0 so generously provided by the
other two districts. The immense re-
sources Of this rich table land win be-
come better known to the outside world
when a means Of ingress Is provided
that will be safer than at present
