Roads in District 81

Inasmuch as more or less of the
difficulties over roads in District No.
81 have become public property we
have thought best to present in the
paper the views held, we think,
/ by nearly all of the residents of this
district. In presenting these views
we make three serious charges against
the present overseer of this district
Mr.. Howard Harper and County Com
missioner Mr.. Knox, who apparently
is supporting the overseer in his VAR
wasteful and useless expenditure of
public funds, Second, with wanton in
jury to private property through
damage to trees along CHERRY Lane"
Third with absolute disregard of the
wishes, desires or opinions of the peo-
pie whom they are supposed to serve.
As is we'll known by all who have
lived in or around Emmett for more
than ten years, the roads in this dis
trict ten years ago were among the
worst in this section of Idaho. During
certain seasons they were practically
impossible Many stories are told to
lltuSlIdlt lfllSs Oilt VI lfit NOISb 10
of a man who had to unhitch four
horses from an empty wagon, near Mr..
Little's, and leave il for six weeks
standing to the hub in mud. About
ten years ago coming of settlers to
lands under the Canyon canal made it
possible for united effort on the
part of these new people and the own
ers of lands under the Last Chance to
undertake an improvement of these
conditions. The first step in this di-
rection was the creation of small
district. The lines were changed once
or twice but finally located as at pre-
sent which is east from a line running
north and south half way between the
Farmers Canal and the Boise road,
and south from Main street running
east and west. The road running to
Pearl and to Boise are in this district,
but all the balance are in the fiat and
slope within three or four miles of
Emmett. About twelve miles of the
latter roads. The district was made
small at the request of the residents,
as they wanted the proposed work to
be community effort and done under
their own eyes. They felt this was
correct, as they planned to tax them
selves as high as the law would allow
and to donate besides large amount
of work or money. With the ground
thus prepared for plan of work the
improvement itself commenced. There
is no use in going into the details of
the work done, but the results are
known to nearly all of the readers of
this paper. Roads which were worst
in southwestern Idaho were trans
formed into the best, and were the
pride not only of those who built
them, but of the town of Emmett and
the community as a whole. The writ
ers of this letter have no figures avail
able, but there is no doubt in their
minds that one-half of the work done

Quarters.

Plans for new brick building to

the M. & II. cigar store have been
completed by John McNish and con-
truction work will be started as soon
as the settled weather is assured. The
new building has been leased by the
garage company, and will give that
firm total floor space of 1875
square feet.
The necessity for this added space
tells story of business expansion
that is almost marvellous. Less than
a year ago this firm was organized,
and June Is, 1917, moved into the
splendid fire proof building, 50xlS0
feet, at the foot of Main street, erect
ed especially for the company by John
McNish. The company's business has
grown by leaps and bounds since then
and the new building that will double
their present quarters has become an
absolute necessity
The company is composed of j. R.
Burton, Dave Murray and Jos. Kelley,
and is a strong combination. Mr..
Burton is a master mechanic and, ably
assisted by Mr.. Kelley, gives his per-
sonal direction to the mechanical end
of the business. Mr.. Murray is in
charge Of the business and sales de-
partment To the ability, trustworthi-
ness, energy and enterprise of this
trio may be attributed the marked
success and rapid growth of their
business.

of road, mile and one quarter lin
length, the owners have planted rows
of sweet cherry trees. AS is provided
feet from the fence line The law
specifically provides for this and states
that the crop shall belong to the owner
of land, and makes any one liable I'M
der the law for injury to trees or crop.
1t so happens that the owners of the
property have donated every dollars
worth of work done on these roads,
with the exception of cement abutment
for two bridges across the Canyon
canal. The owners have done this
work without pay because they were
interested in good roads primarily and
willing to donate to that end. In adj
dition they were anxious that no care
less workman should injure the trees
which has cost them so much money
and care, care which until the year
1917 had brought no financial returns.
Whether or not their efforts in build
ing roads along this land were sue
cessful we will leave to the great
jury of hundreds of people who have
travelled these roads for pleasure and
business, for the last eight years
These roads were graded about "a
feet wide, thus leaving six feet out
side of the trees for cultivation and
irrigation, and six feet between the
trees and the fence for the same pur-
pose. The grading as just done by
the county places the curb within two
and three feet of the trees. This
work injured the trees in two ways;
first, they tore up hundred of roots of
very tender trees, and also made it
impossible to cultivate outside of the
tree row where of course one half of
the roots are. We are unable to I'M
derstand the mind of officials that will
spend many dollars of public money on
a road generally acknowledged to be
the best road in the county when
money is so short for road purposes
and so many roads need work This
last thought has no reference to the
damage to trees, but only calls atten-
ton to the lack of business foresight.
The writer's of this article can see no
motive back of this except the motive
of a vandal or densest ignorance
of road work.

was donation pure and simple. In
addition the district levied a special
tax on themselves as high as could be
done. We feel safe is saying that
from 1910 to 1917 at least two thirds
of work done was either donation or
special tax. During these years we
| had overseers who worked with the
people in all ways. While the final
decisions were usually made by them,
| if it involved any amount of work, it
was only made after consulting with
the people most interested. Our coun-
ty commissioners also worked with us
and helped us in every way possible.
Always the overseers and commits
sioners 1.-THE officers through whom we
must work, recognized that in an I'M
usual sense the people of this district
were entitled to consideration. The
overseers deserve great credit for the
work done, but after all the people
who spent freely of their money,
sometimes when they could i'll afford
it, deserve and have in the past re-
ceived the credit which is their due.
With the taking of office by county
commissioner Knox, January, a diff
ferent policy was adopted Mr.. Ho-
ward Harper was appointed overseer
by Mr.. Knox, who as far as we know,
did not consult any resident of the dis
trict as to his appointment. Since
these men took office the wishes of the
residents of the district have been
disregarded and overridden. A great
deal of the work of keeping our roads
in good condition has been done with
the road drag. The use of these drags
on the roads have been forbidden by
the present overseer. Men who have
dragged roads for years to the bene-
fit of the road have been threatened
with arrest if they continued. We
understand that there has been a
slight change of heart in this direction
within the last month or two, but
this has not come to the knowledge of
the writers. The overseer has just
been over nearly all of the roads with
big road grader, using eight horses
and two or three men. At meeting
of residents of the district held short
ly before this grading was done. we
were told that such work was planned
The opinion of those present was
unanimous that such work would be
a detriment to the roads of the dis
trict. Since the work has been done
majority of those present at that
meeting expressed themselves as of
the opinion that damage has been done
just as was expected To say how
they We're damaged we will not go into
here. We understand that the state
ment has been made by officials that
the people of this district know moth
ing of roads or how to make them.
The review of the facts above is suf-
ficient to refute that without argu-
ment, by their fruits you shall
know them"
The browning act of disregard of
the opinions of the people whom Tin
theory our officials are serving, was
done on Friday, March l, and Monday,
March 4. On these dates the over
seer with, we understand Commission
er Knox present, regarded the road
along part of what is known as
Cherry Lane" Along this stretch |

no farther than the exchange of inva-

fact the German war prisoners are
not closely confined in Russia but are
living in the small villages and allow

of them do not care to return to Ger

that Germany would like to have many
of them stay SO as to help circulate
German ideas in Russia and to colon
ize the country as Germans have done
in South America. The Bolsheviki
have tried hard to inculcate their doc

to them on universal brotherhood but

 TOUGH LUCK OF AIRCRAFT.

At French Port.-The United States Navy derigible K-4 landed at her station near this port last night, sore as boil. As far as the navy goes one of the real hard luck stories of the war is hers. For months she has been hankering for a fight with a submarine, and yesterday when she gut her big chance her forward gun was out of commission, strong wind kept her from getting over the sub to drop bombs for some time, and when she finally got into position night came on and the submarine submerged.
 And the hell of it was that sub marine was shelling us all of the time with shrapnel, and there we were with that damned cannon of ours useless and the wind blowing straight against us" walled the airship's captain when he climbed out of the car on the land ing field.
