CEDAR CREEK RIDGE
TO HAVE GOOD ROAD
GOOD ROADS MEETING AT LIN
DEN EXPECTED TO RESULT
IN NEEDED IMPROVEMENT

The people of Cedar Creek ridge start
ed something last Saturday when they
held their good roads meeting at the hal
at Linden. The object of the meeting
was to ascertain the sentiment of the
ridge concerning the formation of gooC
roads district which would take in both
| the Crescent and Linden country One
of the largest crowds ever assembled
| there was in attendance and showed in
tense interest in the meeting.
M. E. Newhall was selected as tempo
rary chairman and A. G. Wilson as act
ing secretary. After considerable discus
sion as to the advisability of forming a
house at Linden-Kendrick Gazette
thus: How many present are willing
to see the district formed and to vote
bonds for the construction of hard
surfaced road?" Every man in the room
stood up: This is pretty clear indica-
ton that Cedar Creek is going to have
a good road to Kendrick, its nearest
railroad center
1t is considered certainty that the
petition being circulated will have the
necessary number of signatures to put
the matter up to the county commission
ers. The commissioners will then be.
obliged to call an election of the voters
contained W1tll1n the BOUNDARIES OF the
district outlined and if the necessary ma
jority is obtained the district will be
formed. 1t will then be matter of
choice of those in the district whether
bonds should be voted and the amount
of the bonds the district wishes to vote |
When this hard surfaced road is built
there will be no more valuable land any
where in the Potlatch country than on
Cedar Creek ridge 1t is beautiful
country and the soil is as good as the |
best. The ridge embodies many splendid
farms that only need better transporta-
ton facilities to increase their value two
old
To haul load of grain to Kendrick
from any part of the ridge is a good
lays work with existing road conditions.
1t will be but short time, however,
Until the Cedar Creek people will be
lauling their grain, hay, beans, wood,
tc, on motor trucks and making two
rips day easier than they make one
low. Two or three farmers can go in
ogether and purchase truck to do their
Iauling, because there will be no hurry

here are good things in store for the
