Chautauqua at More
land Opens This Week

A lively program of entertainment
is promised by the chautauqua which
opens at Moreland October 2 and
continues for five days. The enter
tainment is well balanced with fun,
music and serious lectures, all of
which is educational and exceptional
enough to make it worth many times
the admission prices to those who do
not spend at least month a year
travelling, or visiting in big cities.
Even to them it is always highly
worth while.

Substantial Bridge Approaches
In connection with the county roat
construction, the approaches to the
Snake river brigde west of Blackfoo
are being rebuilt. An abutment Oh
retaining wall has been built at each
end of the bridge on each side of the
road extending out like wings from
! the bridge and steel gerders EN-.
| bedded in cement will constitute the
connection between the main bridge
and the bithulithic road bed. Com
pletion of this part Of the work Is
being held up awaiting the arrival
of the steel.
Ready for Bithulithic
The road from the Snake river
bridge to the city limits has been
graded perfectly and three coats of
crushed rock rolled into it. This
forms the base for the bithulithic
paving and is expected that 1t will
form good road bed until the paw
ing is laid, tho it may have to be
turned up again on the surface when
that work is commenced.
Delay From Break Down
From the Snake river bridge, west
ward, the finishing of the road bed
has been delayed by various circum-
stances. The grading was COM
menced there on June 7. 1t was nee
essary to haul clay from the hill west
of Blackfoot to coat all of the grade
from the Snake river bridge west
ward for about four miles. No other
deposit of clay could be found and
the gravel for mixing with the clay,
and for making the top coat, has to
be hauled from the gravel pit and
crusher two miles west of the bridge.
A short time ago the elevator at this
rock crusher completely collapsed
and 1t will not be possible to get 1t
rebuilt in time to use it again this
fall. SO the gravel for finishing the
road, as far east as the Snake river
bridge, will be hauled from the
Riverside-Thomas gravel pit a mile
and half west from the crusher
that collapsed. This rock crusher
was too small caliber and it was
costing about 80 cents per ton to put
the gravel thru it. They were crowd
ing it to its fullest capacity to try to
make it serve all the trucks when it
broke down.

Electrical Accident
Occurred at Aberdeen,

Last Thursday while James Hurt
was moving hay derrick at his
fathers farm south OF Aberdeen, and
while passing the derrick under the
power line, the steel cable Of the
derrick came in contact with the
power cable and took the current
down thru the derrick, setting ii
afire. One Of the horses stepped
back on the steel doubletree and re-
ceiyed the current, transmitting 1t
to the ohter three horses, killing all
of them instantly.
Mr.. Hurt laid hold of a tug and
singletree to unhook it and received
a shock that burned his hand and
his foot, but did not greatly injure
him. The horses were valued at
about $500 apiece. a

south branch of the Trego ditch
I under the new highway. It is built
low enough so that cars will not
have to make the rise as they did tC
/; cross over the old bridge.
il Expense of Bridges
Just west of the Trego ditch the
4 Watson slough crosses the road into
the farm now owned by Henry Felt
! and crosses back again a few hun
4 dred feet westward. The estimate
| for new bridges at these places calls
| for an expenditure of about $4,000
1 and it was found that canal could
be cut thru on the south side of the
road to connect them at an expense
of about $500 SO it was decided to
build that canal and. fill up the old
channel. After this arrangement
was made the farms on both sides
of the road were sold and Mr.. Felt
the new owner of the farm on the
north side of the road, objects to the
present arrangement on the ground
that it would deprive him of the
privilege of watering his stock in the
Watson slough. They are trying now
to devise some plan for delivering
water thru pipe line, under the
grade, to accommodate Mr.. Felt, but
nothing definite has been agreed
upon.
Constructing Good Bridges
4, At a point west of Thomas, where
sthe old road crosses the Peoples
Iditch, south of the Joseph Merrill
farm, it followed the meanderings
sof a small lateral and the new high
way is being built straight thru on
the section line. This necessitates
some heavy fills on both sides OF the
Peoples canal. The canal will be
ispanned by a thirty-foot steel bridge
with cement floor.
f.f Economy in Practice
AT a point about one mile south of
Swan Berg's place a branch Of the
Peoples canal crosses the roadway
to the west within few hundred
yards. Heretofore the travel has
followed the meanderings of. the
ditch, but in building the new high
way straight thru two bridges would
he necessary where the ditch runs
nearly parallel with the road. The
new fine Uf ditch will be built tod
keep it away from the road and save
the expense Of the bridges.
A Beautiful Driveway
Grading is in progress on the road
east of Pingree and couple Of miles
south of Pingree, where the road
leads westward to Springfield over
the big hill. A twelve-foot grade is
being built at the foot Of the hill. |
The construction work along the |
Springfield lake has been completed |
and it makes very beautiful drive
