The carnival will open on Thursday night and will close on Saturday night. The slogan of the post is, star the New T ear Right: Attend the American Legion Carni- val This legend appears on all posters which have been distributed throughout all cities and towns in this section of the state. It is expected that large representa- tiOns of Legion naires from surrounding towns will attend and that it will be a difficult job to accommodate the crowd. The officials of the Trum bull factory have displayed much interest and have given their hearty cooperation to the post. The first nights entertainment will consist Of three vaudeville num- bers by professional entertainers. The TerryViile Legion post will present g. farce, entitled, "A Day in the Army" on the second evening. The Universal GIee club from Landers, Frary and Clark, New Britain, will give con cert on Saturday evening.

May Make Films
in Kamiah District
Producer of ParamOunt-Artcraft
Pictures in Kamiah Looking
for Setting for New Play.

George A. Melford, director for
the Famous Players-Lasky corpora

and Aircraft pictures and which IL
owned by number of the leading
movie stars Douglas Fairbanks.
Charlie Chaplin and Mary Pickford
is expected to arrive in Kamiah
this afternoon with view to using
the Kamiah valley as the setting foc
new film picture he is producing.
The preliminary arrangements for
the coming of Mr.. Melford were
made in telephone message re-
berg from Mr.. Stanton, managing
editor of the Lewiston Tribune.
Mr.. Melford has been in Lewiston
looking for the right kind of To-
cation for his picture and Mr., Stan.
ton recommended Kamiah to him az
the ideal place. He will be received
by delegation of our best boosters
and given ample opportunity to get

from all angles. And we miss our
guess If. after he has seen it, he
does not pronounce 1t as beautiful a
spot as he has found in the West.
What the concern wants for its
picture are the following: small
| town. a wide and prettily located
valley, high mountains. running
water in both large and small
streams, rough country, crags, cliffs,
lots of pines. cowboys, Indians and
all the local color that goes with
| these. And Kamiah has them all.
If this place is selected, Mr.. Melford
will bring here a company of about
twenty-five people, included in
which will be many of his biggest
stars. They will arrive in about
a week or ten days and it will re-
quire about two months to make
the picture Further than this, it

for many Of the best productio Of
the great Paramount corporations
and Kamiah scenery will be thrown
on hnudrc1s of screens over the
whole world. The Paramount people
are recognized in motion picturedom
as the leading makers of films and
they spare no expense to get just
what they want for their pictures.
So, even their coming to look at
Kamiah is a compliment to the rep
utation of our valley, but we have
confidence that Melford's visit will
mean much more than this.-Kam-

Plan New Road
at tRecentMeeting
Will Be Fifty Miles Long from
Greer to Bungalow and Pass
Through Weippe and Pierce.

District Engineer G.. H. Lautz. of
Missoula, and Il. ~ Hamilton, Su-
pervisor OF the Clearwater National
Forest, representing the government
forests interests, met Monday night,
in Mr.. Hamilton's Office, with high
way commissioners r. II. Bailey,
Charles l. Carey and John B. Col
Inns and Secretary 7. B. Reed OF
the Pierce Highway District, and
commissioners Matt Erb and Samson
snyder of the Clearwater Highway
District, to consider the construc-
ton of road from Greer to the
bungalow, at the mouth OF the Oro-
2rande, on the North Fork, about
l20 miles up the river from All
sahka. The proposed road will be
over fifty miles in length and will
pass through Weippe and Pierce.
The maximum grade is to be five
per cent With a sixteen foot road
bed. No hard surface to be built at
present, but well crowned dirt
highway will be constructed. This
important highway will be built by
he government forest service, in CO
operation with the Clearwater and
Pierce Highway Districts. If plans
go through survey will possibly be
commenced in three weeks. Survey
is to be made by the Bureau OF Pub
lie Roads, and the construction will
be by contract. The estimated total
cost will be between 100000 and
100000 per mile. Mr.. Lautz re
commends the construction or the
proposed road, and plans must be
forwarded to the Secretary of Agri-
culture, at Washington D. c.. for
final APPROVAL. By a special act Of
congress. appropriations of money,
tor the construction of roads and
trails. wholly or partly within
national forests, is provided for the
protection and administration of the
forests, anf to give employment to
returning soldiers.
The building Of this projected
highway is one of the most import
ant moves, in road construction
that has been undertaken in Clear
water County. 1t will not only open
a vast territory to easy access for
the forest service, but will improve
the transpol tation facilities into the
Fraser, We,ppe and Pierce sections
as we'll as give employment to a
large number of workmen. The
road will be entirely within Clear.
water County. and Will be sub
stantial boost for this favored coun.
try.

In this, no one has been more

note the neatness and exactness of
her stitches.
We thank the ladies one and all
