Rights OF WAY

The alignment of the present
county road between Frederick
and Magnolia is such that with a
few small straightenings and short
cut-offs a good line can be secured.
Through Magnolia it would prob
ably be advisable TO secure at this
time right Of way Of sufficient
width TO provide, when necessity
arises, for a roadway at least forty
feet wide, excluding grass areas
and sidewalks.
This is merely suggestion bas-
ed on a changing policy Of high
way construction. 1t has been the
experience of nearly all highway
departments to acquire narrow
rights Of way during their early
transactions and later to increase
the width of these rights of way
Land along improved highways al.
most invariably increases in value
thus making the argument favor
ing reasonable rights of way an
economic necessity, as we'll as
avoiding other troubles incident tc
acquiring land along improved
roads.
Outside Of the towns and vii
lagos, a right Of way sixty feet
wide would seem sufficient for the
needs Of a single highway. This
would ultimately, when entirely
completed, be made up of a road
way 80 feet wide with shoulders
and bitches extending to the 81
foot limits. The activities il

M. F. CONFERENCE.
TO MEET In DOVER
Fiftieth Session Convenes In
March

The fiftieth session Of Whining
ton Annual Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church will
meet in Dover, Wednesday, March
20, 1918. Bishop Frank NJ. Bristol,
D. D., LID, Of Chattanooga, TEL
nessee, once the pastor of Pres
ident Mckinley, will preside. The
Wilmington Conference, compris-
ing all the territory of Delaware
and the Eastern Shore of Mary
land and Virginia, was formed
through division of the old
Philadelphia Conference in 1868,
and its first session was held at
Asbury Church, Wilmington, and
! Bishop Matthew Simpson was the
presiding officer. The first session
held in Dover was on March 8,
1871. Nine years later, on March
II, 1880, another session convened
at the State Capital; again on
March Is, 1896, third session was
held in Dover; the fourth session
was held in Dover on March 16,
1904, so that the coming session
will make the fifth time this body
has met in Wesley Church.
The Methodist Episcopal Church
is the dominant religious body Of
Kent and Sussex, numerically sur,
passing all the other denomina-
tions combined. The Conference
brings together nearly two hun.
dred pastors, four district superin-
tendents, and its presiding bishop
representing a membership Of
more than $4,000, Sunday School
enrolment of more than $4,000
with a constituency of twice that
number, representing a property
value of about three and one-halt
millions, and bringing togethe,
approximately 100000 from the
churches as the annual offering
for missionary and other benevol
ent activities.

of at least eighty feet should be &C
quired in the villages in order TO
allow for an ultimate roadway of
forty feet, grass areas and side
walks.
By securing this wide right Of
way at this time it is not at all
necessary that the present road
way should be physically changed.
nor does it mean that all trees need
be cut or front yards and lawns
disturbed. 1t merely means that
all new operations within the right
of way should be controlled by the
State Highway Department and
carried on with the idea in mind
of the final width of right of way
when it should be found necessary.
The present road through Mag
nolia is considerably less than
this, and eighty feet would include
several large trees and some front
yards, but would not necessarily
be in the way of any present pro-
posed construction.
Costs
Regarding the costs, it is prac-
tically impossible at this time to
furnish estimates that are good fOr
even one weeks time. Companies
furnishing road material will quote
prices for five days acceptance
and therefore the basic prices or
which the estimates are made uI
fustuate to such an extent that
exact estimates are impossible.
For your guidance in your con
sideratiOn, if materials are avail
able at all, the Philadelphia Pike

Summary
This completes. briefly. my re-
commendatory report. 1t does not
include, of course, any review of
the work done by the Engineering
Department but shows merely the
results Of our observations.
At first glance it would seem
that the work of the Department
was seriously handicapped, due to
the war emergency which has
arisen just as we were about to
actually commence state highway
construction. But again we are
really fortunate, for the road con-
structiOn in Delaware which
should be first considered and the
roads which the state develop
ments suggest, are really what can
we'll be termed military roads.
Roads which we would have start
ed in normal times to meet the de.
mands of our state traffic are roads
that would, in an emergency, be
most used as military rights OF
way. The construction of essential
roads at this time can we'll be con
sidered as war work.
The location of our state is such
that in an emergency our essentia
highways would be taxed to theil
utmost capacity. That the Della
ware roads, in their present condi
ton, could not meet such demand
goes without saying.
feel that the necessity of roat
construction in 1918 is evident
not only to serve the people O.
Delaware but as an actual wa
measure for the nations use.
Respectfully submitted,
Signed Charles F. Upham,
Chief Engineer

Already the railroads are urging
that whenever possible all freight
should be shipped by motor truck.
This places the highway as a sup
Elementary essential. The con
dition of these essential roads will
play a large part in the economic
program, which just now demands
serious attention and best judg-
ment.

MERIDIAN-BOISE HIGHWAY
SHOULD BE IN BETTER SHAPE

The road between Boise and Mer-
idian is in bad condition. Especially
is this SO as one reaches the three
mile concrete hard surface road end
ing at the fair grounds. Owing to
faulty construction when this was
put in about six years ago, there are
numerous chuck holes that are a
terror to motorists,
There is no reason why this part
should not he repaired and the whole
road from Boise to Nampa, should
not be put in first class condition.
1t is correct to say that more auto
mobiles pass over this road during
the year than any other road in the
state of Idaho. This is a state high
way, and 1t is the duty of the state
to maintain and keep mp all roads
which have been so designated.

DRAFT BOARDS MAY CHANGE
SOME CIASSIFICATIONs


Glass l Week" will be celebrated
from June 18th to Gath by the var
ious draft boards. The object of the
work is to move certain registrants
up from lower classes to class L. An
investigation of the classifications in
Boise and Ada county will be male
and few changes may be MADE be-
fore the investigation is concluded.
Not enough men in class l is the
reason the government has ordered
the investigation.
Among those whose classifications
will be investigated are some of the
newly-weds and the farm laborers.
Included in the list sent by Special
Investigator Herman H. Taylor, to
the governor, with recommendations,
are the following from Meridian.

Gently returned from that Bolsheyit-
XII ridden country where he had a
son in the trenches but managed to
purchase his release and returned
with him to the United States and
the latter is now serving in the army
at Camp Lewis.
In speaking of the situation in
Russia he asserted that Russia will
come back at the Hun. Russia has
never stopped fighting" he says,
meaning the patiotic type of Russian
"and has never made peace with Ger
many. Russia is only beginning the
war and give you my word that the
Russian nation will never stand for
German militarism as long as one
man is left.
Four million, women, from 20 to
80 years of age, forming the Battal-
ion of Death, will die to save Russia
Russia is composed of % nations and
the Bolsheviki is composed of the

nine and Trotsky, are German agita4
tors. When the time is ripe, Ker-
ensky and his followers will prove
to be the sayiors of the nation. When
they strike, Germany will meet her
Waterloo in Russia"
In view of the fact that there are
strong indications that Russia is re-
covering from the blow which sue
cessive revolutions inside her own
borders have dealt as we'll as vile
German propaganda, everyone is ur-
ged to be present at this lecture and
learn the true inwardness of the sit
uation there. Special invitations are
extended to the men to be present
