TANA HIGHWAY.

The county commissioners will lend
strong hand in furthering the pur-
pose of the Central Idaho Good Roads

in favor of the Idaho-Montana high
way proposed by the state highway
commission. So much was determin-
ed upon at a special meeting of the
Central association held Monday
night, when the county commission

did not then say in so many words
that they would give financial aid
toward the object sought but encours
agement TO the hope was given in eff
feet that they would pay the expenses
OF al least one man to remain on the
ground with one man from the asso-
citation TO urge our claims before the
Legislature while the needed state ap-
preparation shall be pending. 1t
seemed to be the opinion of all the
gathering that the commissioners
should pay for keeping two Lemhi
representatives on the ground
Then the matter of expense of such
"a delegation came up, when a sub
scription was started right then and
there, with the result that upward OF
$50 was raised on the spot Two of
the local bankers. George II. Monk
'and Walter c. Shoup, were named to
continue the work of getting money
from the membership outside the
fneeting and from business men OF
fne community generally. The sub
0scribers set lively pace in paying
IOver sums of from FIVE to twenty dol
BARS.

officers of the association in this con-
Ference together indicated that two OF
