A vote in favor of pending bond is

to Power county practically all of

FEDERAL AID READY
If BONDS ARE VOTED
State Director of Highways Has Sent
Project Statement TO Washington
Asking Promised Government As
sistance- Wapi Road Is Post Road.

Highway district No. / has received
a letter from Mr. Olsen, the state di-
rector of highways in which he states
that he notices that highway district
No. 1 desires that work on the state
highways and post roads be begun as
soon as possible after August 29th
(the date of the bond election) pro
vided the bonds carry He writes that
his office is already making out a
project statement requesting federal
aid and expects to forward II to Wash
ingtOn this week.
The state has a survey party on the
Roosevelt highway in Minidolta ana
Blaine counties and Il is their inten-
ton to connect with the portion of
the road which lies within Power
county as soon as they can get to 1t
this summer
The Roosevelt highway runs direct
ly west from American Falls through
the wheat country TO Wapl, and fed
cral aid can be secured on this road
owing to the fact that II Is post
road This would give Power county
a good gravelcd road out into Pleasant
Valley
Federal and state aid cannot be OBJ
tanned unless our district puts up q
portion Of the money required to build
the roads and this cannot be done
without a bond issue.

not even carry interest by local tax
alton but will be paid in whole by the
state and federal government.
Third. The city Of American Falls
proposes to spend $4,000 for street
improvements and all Of this work
will be done by the city engineer who
will perform the work by day labor
instead Of contract. In this way only
local farmers will be hired for im-
provement work and that additional
amount Of money will be put into cir
culation and kept at home.
Fourth. Highway district No. OF
Rockland proposes 10 vote $4,000 for
hetter roads and this money also VIII
be spent among the people OF the dis
triGt who will do the construction
work Federal aid will probably bt
procured to boost this amount con
siderably.
Fifth. Local bankers have assured

ed to buy necessary seed and feed.
Sixth The highway commissioners
Of district No. ] and the city council
OF American Falls have promised TO
assist in every way TO procure feed
for highway workers at cost and ex-
pedite in every way the passage OF
the bonds, the procuring Of the money
and the distribution Of II in guch a
way as 10 benefit every farmer In tie
county who desires aid In the procur-
ing feed and seed.
5. BY voting fayorably on the
bond issues pending the county
will obtain for immediate circnla-
ton among people at home, sum
Of money aggreagting $4O1,O 900.
This money we believe will be
the only practical solution Of the
feed and seed problem. The mon
1 ey obtained by farmers from
/ working the roads or from their
expressed intention to work them
/ after seed and feed have been
procured, is az far as we can as
certain, the only aid or relief that
can be expected this fall.

"WHAT is A POST R0ADF
ASKS VOTER.

A post road is any road ofer
which regular mail route is
carried. We have in our dis
trict 67 miles of post roads. The
Star route is the postal route
west of American Falls that
passes through Fairvief, Pros
perity and Pleasant Valley. 1t
makes circuit in the district
west of American Falls and Gov
ers in length 26 miles.
The Raft river road is q post
road and extends south in dis
trict No. l 90 miles. Towards
Rockland along the county high
way there is 81 miles of post
roads. This makes II total of
SO miles of post roads in the
county besides the roads that
are proposed for Cold Creek and
Sunbeam, but which are not yet
opened.
The Roosevelt highway which
extends southwest through Wapi
has not been considered and
will add one more good graveled
road for the district west OF Am
prican Falls. In all that dis
trict will get al least four post
roads that will receive state or
federal aid or both.
