The Road Building Era.

The very atmosphere is surcharged
i with. the spirit of good road construc
tion All conditions seem ripe for
, development, and 1919 will see the en-
tire country busy at providing high
ways and byways over which the auto
|, ist may burn gasoline with maximum
satisfaction-so far as roads are con
cerned.
The long pent desire for better roads
was just ready to break its bonds when
the war stepped in and suppressed it.
1t has grown none the less intense with
the delay, and is taking the first oppor-
tunity to assert itself with the open
ing of the coming spring The need
of extraordinary and immediate en-
ployment for the masses of men being
released from the army and the pecul-
lar adaptibility of many of them to
outdoor work impels the natural turn
ing of the nation to road construction
on gigantic scale this year. The de-
sire of every community TO get its
share in the cut of the government
highway money which is only waiting
for takers is another incentive adding
TO the general impetus.
Lewis county-which has long been
accredited by superior authority with
state (thanks to the drag)--is prepar-
ing for her full share in this big road
movement The Central and Evergreen
Highway districts are busy with plans
for providing funds to handle the
north and south state highway which
has been located thru their districts.
The Kamiah Highway district is figur-
ing out way to fund its share of the
construction of the Lewis and Clark
Highway which is bound to traverse
its territory. The Central Ridge. folks
are preparing to hold an election in
February for the creation of what is
to be known as the North Highway dis
trict of Lewis county, with the idea
of being ready to handle with the least
possible delay and lost motion such
lateral or trunk construction as con-
ditions may extend thru that richly
productive territory. The enterprising
citizens in this section of the county
are studying maps and coming col
umns of figures and working on de-
tails that look to the building of an
east and west line between the Lewis
and Clark Highway at Kamiah and the
north and south highway at Vollmer,
as well as laterals for north and
south service These things all mean
definite results-more good highways,
easier means of human intercourse,
commercially and socially.

HARRY A. BILLOW sUCCUMBs TO
INFLUENZA.

| Harry A. Billow died early Friday
morning, Jan. IL, at the White hos
pital in Lewiston, where he had been
taken for treatment for pneumonia re-
sulting from an attack of influenza.
The deceased had recently arrived with
his family in Charleston, from Canada,
! and had stopped over there for visit
with his wife s folks before thew came
on to Nezperce to again take up their
residence after an absence of six years.
He had suffered an attack of influenza
before leaving Canada, and shortly
after reaching Clarkston relapse over
came him, and after pneumonia devel-
oped he was taken to the hospital,
where heroic efforts were continued to
save him.
The remains were brought to Nez-
perez Friday evening, and the funeral
services were conducted at the Breth-
rem church in this city at IL o'clock
Sunday morning by Elder B. J. Fike,
and interment was made in the local
cemetery.
4 Harry A. Billow was born in Livings
ton county, Missouri, October 30, 1882.
His parents, Mr.. and Mrs. HI. c. Billow,
came west when he was four years Of
age, locating at Colfax, Wn. They later
moved to Palouse and then to Oregon,
whence, after a residence of two years,
they came to this community in 1889,
and the deceased continued his resi-
tdence here until six wears ago last fall,
when he went to Canada to try his
fortune at farming in the big wheat
country. He married Miss Rena Huff
man near Greencreek nine years ago,
and she and son and two daughters
and his aged parents survive him, and
to these, on whom the blow of his un-
timely death falls with most crushing
force, this community extends its sin
cere sympathy.

SHOULD THIS THING
COME TO AMERICA.
Some First-Hand Information On Red
Rag Bolsheviki.-It's He'll
On Earth.

Amsterdam, Dec. 9.-The five cardi-
nal points of bolshevism are, accord
ing to M. Oudendyk, formerly Dutch
minister in Petrograd, as follows:
One-High wages.
Two-Don It work.
Three-Take other peoples proper
ty.
Four-No punishment.
Five-No taxation.
~ wish,o said Mr.. Oudendyk, "to
give a solmn warning to the working
classes of all nations against the high
falutin notions which I have seen in
Russia. Bolshevism, say without ex-
aggeration is the end of civilization.
I have known Russia intimately for 20
years under the old regime and under
the new conditions. Never have the
working classes of Russia suffered as
they are doing at the present time not
withstanding all that the present So
called ruling classes in that country
choose to tell the world.
fnThe bulk of the workmen in Russia
are To-Day IdT dlu away "oioS VII IhN'
they ever have been and the state of
employment is simply terrible. When
I left Petrograd the situation was one
of utter starvation and most people
hardly knew how they would exist
through the following day. Wherever
bolshevism rules the nation has been
beaten to pulp and is utterly help
less. The future to me seems hopeless.
One thing is certain, that, left as she
is now, Russia will be in a state of
utter and complete ruin.
HFactories are at a standstill and
are being ruined and, without the aid
of foreign capital, they can never be
revived. I have never seen or dreamt
of the possibility of such corruption,
tyranny, and the absence of all SEM
blance of freedom as there is in Rus
sia at the present moment.
HMost of the workmen now begin to
see that the regime of bolshevism can
not possibly last. The whole world
must stand shoulder to shoulder so that
out of the ruins something may arise,
but personally know not what"

pretty stories such as are furnished the

very much needed to bolster up their

thru this territorys In fact, there are
a long string of very pertinent why's

catarrh Of Nose. Throat

Chronic catarrh of the nose, throat,
and lungs has been largely RESPONSE
Bile for the terrible influenza epidemic
OF the past six months. 1t is often
the primary cause of many fatal dis
eases like tuberculosis, pneumonia,
asthma and others. 1t is not only an
extremely annoying, disagreeable con
dition, but is positively dangerous,
undermining the strength of the whole
system and certainly making anyone
much more liable to dangerous infec-
tion OF all kinds.
Therefore 1t is extremely important
that anyone suffering from catarrhal
conditions of the nose, throat and
lungs, Immediately take steps to have
it cured. AS nearly all catarrh suf-
ferers know from experience and to
their sorrow, it cannot be cured by
patent medicines, mail order treat
Elents, home remedies and the like,
yet eatarrh is durable.
1t is stubborn disease and it re-
quires the skill of an expert and ex-
perienced specialist to properly rid
the system of catarrh in short time.
The Indiana Catarrh Institute. per-
manently located in Indianapolis at
1895 N. Illinois ST., have representing
them a well known nose, throat and
Jung specialist who has devoted six
teen years to the special study of this
disease. In the past two years this
talented specialist has been in the
Federal Service and has examined and
advised on the nose, throat and lung
conditions of approximately ten thou
sand of our soldiers in the military
service. It would be difficult. to find

garding your condition.

PEACE TERMS
Continued from Page one)

as all compromises must be, a. sacri-
fee of essential principles of all three
conflicting elements. Mr.. Wilson's
American ideal of peace, without bit
terness for the future, has been modi-
fed almost out OF existence by the
economic burdens placed upon Ger
many, burdens which ought of right
to be placed upon her, but as they
mean long standing economic servi-
tude of the country will unquestfon-
ably promote as great bitterness as
did the annexation of territory in other
wars. The theory that Germany would
recognize her sins and accept her loss
in spirit of meekness will not stand
the light of day. 1t is after all, lin a
sense, ridiculous to imagine that how
ever just the sentence passed upon
Germany, it will seem just to the Ger
mans, since it reduces them to sec
ond rate industrial country for an in
definite period of time.
1t Is unnecessary to linger over
other compromises. To the impera-
tive demand of the British colonies.
Mr.. Wilson has yielded, and accepted
the mandatory system which, in fact,
means transfer of German colonies
in the main to the British Empire.
Such conditions as are put upon this
transfer are illusory. The truth is
that Britain, France and Japan will
hold the German colonies as they hold
their own and as far as Germany is
concerned-and this is the capital
poin-she loses them completely and
without hope of restoration.
: The same is true of compromises OF
Athe Saar and Dantzig. Germany loses
both territories, the first for period
of time with the possibility that the
loss will be permanent, the second
permanently. but in each case acquisi
