is entirely without warrant and is un.
just in the extreme. The condition OF
the streets is evidence of this fact
1t was not to be expected that road
ways could be made perfect in one
year, but through the unusually wet
spell of two months they stood the
severe test in fine shape. The mud
was not more than surface deep on
the improved streets, where previous
ly it would have been hub deep, and
within 36 hours after the rain stopped
the roadways were as dry as bone.
Critics should at least be fair.

FINDS LONG LOST
PARENTS
George Gaddis, Soldier, Locates Par
ents at Cascade After 13 Years.

George Gaddis, a returned soldier,
was in town last week in search of his
parents, of whom he had lost trace.
Mr.. Gaddis has been in the army for
about IL years, and it appears that
very soon after his first leaving home
his mother, in i'll health, had gone in
to a hospital at San Francisco. The
young man had written after time to
the hospital and getting no informa-
ton as to her whereabouts, had writ
ten to the home town, unsuccessfully,
and to other places where he thought
they might be. His letters were either
lost or returned uncalled for. So finally
he gave up and during all the ensuing
years has feared his mother might
have passed beyond.
At the time of the great war, he
entered camp, but had been sent only
over only a few days before the ar
mistice was signed, and his ship was
recalled. Now, having been discharged
he somehow learned of some former
friends of the family being in En-
NETT and came here. From them he
learned that his parents reside in Cas-
cadeJ and as soon as he could pro-
ceeded on his way. The story be-
speaks a happy reunion of long
separated family circle.

FROZEN DOG RANCH
SOLD
Henry Obermeyer Lucky Pur-
chaser of Famous Property
Pays $4,000

The famous "Frozen Dog Ranch"
was the past week sold to Henry
Obermeyer by Mrs. Nancy Hunter,
widow of Col w. C. Hunter, founder
of the ranch, and mother of the late
Duncan Hunter. The price paid is
$4,000. The new owner will take
possession at once.
Frozen Dog ranch is one of the
noted ranches of the valley. The late
Colonel Hunter made it famous in
verse and story in the literary works
he was the author of, and of recent
years fruit from it's orchards have
made an enviable reputation for quail
ty and perfection in the Eastern mar
kets. 1t is picturesquely situated at
the foot of the hills about four miles
east of Emmett, and the farm house
commands a view of not only the en-
tire lower Payette valley, but also of
Oregon, and the snow capped noun
tains of that state hundred or more
miles away may be seen on clear
day. 1t is said the Colonel" spent
100000 in developing and improving
the property, and it was his cherished
ambition to retire from the rush and
hustle of active business in the East
and spend the sunset of life calmly,
restfully and peacefully on Frozen
Dog. Ere his ambition was realized,
Death claimed him, and two months
ago his son and worthy successor
followed him to that unknown bourne
whence no traveller ere returns. Dun
can Hunters death broke up the fam
lily and Mrs. Hunter, with great re-
luctance, decided to dispose of the
and Henry Obermeyer is the
lucky purchaser.
The ranch comprises $50 acres of
which about half is under cultivation.
1t is one of the finest fruit and alfalfa
farms in the state. The residence is
modern and luxuriously finished. The
comprise large packing
sheds, storage warehouses, etc. The
system is piped.

More Clothing for War Victims

Once more the Red Cross is about
to prove herself the Greatest Mother
in the World as she undertakes to
provide clothing for the needy and
destitute "over there" Last year our

clothing, thrice exceeding the quota.
Now we are asked to furnish tons,
and we can do it. During the week of
March "a the committee with Mrs. o.

packing may begin at once. Clean
clothing of all kinds will be accepted.

ROAD QUESTION UP TO
GEM COUNTY
Federal and State Funds Ready
if This County Will Do
Her Part

With the good roads program of the
federal and state governments defin-
itely launched, the question is now uI
to Gem county as to what part we are
going to take in this much-needed
line of improvement.
Out of the good roads budget bill
passed by the legislature, Gem county
gets 1000 for state funds, providing
the county appropriates like amount
In addition there will probably be avail
able from the Federal Post Road funds
allotted to the state something over a
million dollars that will be apportioned
by the State Highway Commission to
the various counties that are pre-
pared to spend an equal amount upon
their mail routes.
If Gem county can get assistance
from this post road fund, on dollar
for dollar basis, we will be able in
the next few years to complete a
system of good roads for one-half
their actual cost to the taxpayers of
the county. Many miles of our main
roads in this county will be entitled
to the Post Road aid, providing we can
get them designated for such assist
ance by the State Highway Commits
sion and are willing to match the
government appropriation.
The Emmett Commercial Club has
already formulated a plan for a
system of main roads for the county
and laid it before the county com
missioners, who have it under consid-
Grafton. This proposed plan contem-
plate-First, the building of the sec
tion of the Star-McCan road, passing
through this county; second, a good
surfaced road from Montour to Ola;
third, complete the surfacing of the
road between here and Payette;
Fourth, surfaced road the length of
the Mesa; fifth, road to connect with
Indian Valley in Adams county.
The County Commissioners and the
Commercial Club Roads Committee
are having preliminary cost estimates
prepared on this plan and when these
are finished a definite scheme for fin
ancing the program decided upon will
be put before the people.
This system of highways, if COM
pleted, will not only serve every COM
munity in the county, but will also
bring much of the Interstate auto
traffic to our doors.
Just what this may mean to this
valley is hard to realize until we con-
slider some of the road plans IN the
surrounding territory. In this con-
nection, the local Forest office has just
been notified that owing to increased
funds made available for read con-
struction within National Forests, that
work will be begun this
season on the road from Banks to
Stanley and the one from Cascade.
This means that if. Gem county gets
in and builds its section of the Star
Mccall road this year, practically all
Of the summer auto traffic to and
from the Salman river settlement and
southern Montana will pass through
this valley, since the Banks-Stanley |
road will be the only thoroughfare
across Central Idaho.
Let's sall get in and boost for the
Good Roads program for Gem county.
