County Commissioners

The good roads committee, con-
sisting of M. V. Thomas, E. P.
Atchinson, Ralph Knepper and John
Waide, from Kendrick and G. w.
Jessup, ]. e. Hamil and James
Langdon of Juliaetta, met last Sat
urday morning for the purpose of
getting action upon the construc-
tion of the Observation-Disclosures road.
The committee authorized Mr..
Thomas and Mr.. Langdon to met
with the county commissioners at
an early date and to inform them
that the two towns had raised sum
OF money which they deemed
sufficient, with a like amount from
the county, to put both the Powell
and Hamil hills on a five percent
grade. This committee of two was
given full power to make arrange
ments with the commissioners to let
contract for the job if reason
able bid could be secured.
At this meeting it was agreed by
those present that the expense of
grading the Hamil hill should be
shared equally by the two towns
and that the committee Of Mr..
Thomas and Mr.. Langdon had the
power to include the grading of
this hill in the contract to be let
for grading the Powell hill, if
these gentlemen saw fit to do so.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
this committee of two constituted
the executive committee and that
they be given full power to handle
the road situation in any manner in
which they saw fit.

"The Idaho Lincoln Day Memorial
Association" is the only credit Lin
coin received. This was as it should
be in such a gathering for it is well
known that were Lincoln living
in the present day he would be in
France as Wilson democrat. It
is admitted that Ex-Governor Good
ing made the hit of the evening in
his harangue of self-laudation.
He is still claiming, 81 would
rather have made the fight and lost
than never to have made the fight
and won.' To say the least this
statement is growing little stale.
One of the chief addresses at the
above banquet was made by Boise's
Fighting Parson," "Our Willsie," !"
the Reverend Martin (who was the
chief laudator of Roosevelt last
Sunday evening.) On this occasion
he brought "a message from
France" and this is the message:

ROAD MEETING HELD
TUESDAY NIGHT
Banquet Served at Kendrick
Hotel To Large Crowd.

you feed the brutes they'll come
out" The truth of this assertion
was again proved by the large at
tendance at the "good roads feed"
held at the Kendrick Hotel last
Tuesday evening.
A crowd of over fifty business
men of the town and a few outside
guests assembled at the appointed
hour of $50 to partake OF banquet
served by the hotel management,
and to talk over the matter of good
roads in general as we'll as to re-
ceive the report of COMMITTEES.
The banquet was all that could be
desired. A long table the length
of the spacious dining room was
loaded with good things which were
disposed of in the proper manner.
The service was excellent.
After the cigars were lighted Mr..
Thomas reported that he, as the re-
preventative from Kendrick and
James Langdon as the representa-
tive of Juliaetta, had consulted
with the county commissioners the
day previous and that the commls-
sioners would Immediately en-
deavor to get bids on the construc-
tion of the proposed five percent
grade between Juliaetta and Kend-
rick. 1t was thought best to let a
contract for the construction Of the
grade over both the Powell and
Hamil hills, providing a conserva-
tive bid might be received. 1t was
decided at the committee meeting
Saturday morning that Kendrick
would go fifty-ftty with Juliaetta
on the expense of putting the Hamil
hill on five percent grade.
Other speakers followed Mr..
Thomas, the last one being Byron
Detenbach of the firm of Defenbach
and Sons, expert accountants Of
Lewiston, Idaho. Mr.. Defenbach is
very interesting speaker and made
number of references to the roads
in the vicinity of Kendrick. One of
them being to the effect that he had
always judged the state Of enlight-
enment of community, not by it's
educational system or its churches,
but by the condition of it's roads.
He judged that, after having travel
ed over the roads IN this section,
the inhabitants must be semi-bar-
barous. 1t was also a mystery to
him why Kendrick was not city of
million inhabitants or more, as it
was so easy to get into the town but
so very difficult to get out of it.
After spending a social hour to-
gether the meeting adjourned.
1t might be we'll to mention that
the honor of promoting this splen-
did community meeting is due to
Charles McKeever. 1t was through
his efforts that the pleasant and
profitable evening was spent by the
business men of the town. Mr.. Nc
Keever acted as chairman for the
evening.
