Chief Road Engineer Here.

G. Coykendali, chief road engineer in
district No. for the state highway
commission, was in Webster City Fri
day for a conference with the board
of supervisors and county engineer rela-
tive to Hamilton county claiming her
share of the federal aid money to be
used on Iowa roads.
Z Just what Hamilton county will do
IN this matter has not yet been decided
upon. 1t is certain, however, that the
federal aid will be claimed here this
year because the purpose of the money
the first year is the grading and drain
ing of the primary road system of the
county. The amount available this
year from the government funds will
probably not be over $4,000. This, Of
course, is in addition to the amount
coming from the state from auto license
funds.
The Journal expects later
to be able to give detailed statement
of just what monies may be had and
how they may be used in order the
the voters of this county, il called upon
to do so, may vote intelligently 0n the
question of road improvement.

Town Council by Unanimous
Vote Decides to Pave
And : Gutter the
Streets.
is BIG IMPROVEMENT
Three Blocks cut out of ORR.
ginal Plan for Forty
five Blocks.

Stra tford this summer will pave and
gutter forty-five blocks of paving. Seal,
ed bids on the work will be opened
June "a. Says the Stratford Courier
AT the adjourned hearing for the pro.
posed paving and curb and gutter i'm
provements held Tuesday night, the
town council decided by unanimous vote
to go ahead with both improvements as
provided in the two resolutions Of ne
cessity with the exception of three
blocks, which it was decided not to pave
this year. One block which vas cut
off the original specifications is the one
on Goldsmith street from the j. A.
Strand furniture store corner to the
residence occupied by G. O. Eranksain,
and the other two blocks are on Mil
ton street from the A. A. Dec residence
property to the Sam Swedlund corner.
The first mentioned block was cur ont
of the original program because Of the
objection of the railroad company
which has considerable bearing because
they are now operated by the govern
ment. The last mentioned blocks were
cut off because they are very low and
will require little filling.
Some Objections.
There were number of objections
filed in a petition which was presented
at the hearing, eight reasons being
given why the council ought not to
go ahead with the Improvement, all
bearing on expense.
\ The council are well within their au-
thOrity in going ahead with the i'm
and deserve credit for the
part they have in making stratford a
real live and progressive town.
Everybody should now get behind the
and boost for it. StratfOrd
is not, the only small town in Iowa
that is paving but it is one Of them.

At a mass meeting of Kendrick
business men held at the town hall
last Friday afternoon it was decid-
ed to finance the repairing of the
old Atchison-Van Pelt phone line
between Kendrick and Southwick.
1t is estimated that there are sever
al miles of wire missing on the line
and this the Kendrick business men
are willing to furnish to the far
mers of Potaltch who are interested
in putting the line in serviceable
condition. The Potlatch Telephone
Company has agreed to furnish
switch board service on this line
free of charge.
The matter is being taken up with
interested parties on Potlatch ridge
and it is hoped that service will be
re-established on this line in the
near future.

Two Deaths in One Family

The entire community was sad
dened to learn that Mr.. and Mrs.
William Whybark of Big Bear ridge
have suffered the loss of two little
children, their death being caused
by influenza. All of the members
of the family were i'll with the dis
ease at the time death visited the
home.
Last Friday morning, January 10,
little Nellie Carol Whybark, age
four years, succumbed to the dis
ease. The same night her little
brother, Royal, age six, passed away
from the same cause.
They were particularly attractive
children and will be missed by the
elder ones as we'll as by their little
playmates.
An open air service was held al
the Wild Rose Cemetery which was
conducted by Rev. Gregory of Kend
rick.
The friends of the bereaved fam
! lily extend their heartfelt sympathy
to those who have suffered such ;
heavy loss.

Latah Officials Installed

Last Monday the newly elected
county officials were installed in
their various offices. The demo-
Gratis of the county in an even more
generous manner than usual, vacat-
ed their places in the official family
at the court house and graciously
turned them over to their repub-
lican friends. 1t was apparently a
case of democrats not wanted" as
they were never quite so apparently
conspicuous by their absence. Peace
and harmony should reign for at
least two years in the dilapidated
old court house on the hill.
John L. Woody took over the
Office OF sheriff, the retiring official
Jap Campbell, having held the office
for the past two terms. Miss Ruth
Broman, who resigned prior to elec'
tion, was succeeded by Miss Iona S
Adair, as county treasurer. Mis-:
Lillian Scattaboe was installed a:
county superintendent to succeed
Mrs. Ralph B. Knepper, who alst
resigned before the primary elec
tion.
