SHOW SCENES
ON THE SCREEN

AT the *. p. hall last Wednesday
night F.. w. Guilbert and Fred A. Adj
ans, of the National Parks Highway
association, presented several hundred
colored views of the scenery along the
route of the National Parks Highway.
All who saw the pictures stated that
they were the most beautiful and most
pleasingly colored stereoptican views
they had ever seen. The entertain
ment included a short talk by Mr..
Guilbert and a lecture in connection
with the pictures by Mr.. Adams. The
meeting was held under the auspices
of the Bonners Ferry commercial club.
While in this vicinity Messrs. Adams
and Guilbert took a number of local
views which with the several thous-
and pictures they now have will be
shown in eastern cities in hopes of
attracting tourists over the National
Parks Highway route. 1t is estimated
by Messrs. Guilbert and Adams, from
records in the offices of the National
Parks Highway association, that at
least 10000 cars will travel the route
this season.
Mr.. Guilbert stated that the roads
in this county were in deplorable con-
dition and he advised that the county
bond at once for all it is possible to
raise for money for good and perma-
nent roads. He told of the plan now
being considered by the government
to take over and construct where it
is necessary a series of military roads,
four east and west and nine north and
south. One of the proposed east and
west routes would likely go through
this county. The speaker told that
this summer, in the next few weeks,
the National Parks Highway would be
marked with new metal signs which
would be placed by the citizens of the
counties traversed by the highway.
Mr.. Guilbert urged that the people
of Boundary county get together with
Bonner county in the effort to secure
good road from Bonners Ferry tC
Standpoint He stated that the part
, of the highway running through this
. county was far prettier than the other
, two branch routes and that this dis
trict would get the large percentage
, of the tourist business If it kept it:
roads in as good shape as the othel
, districts

BEGINNING ACTIVE ROAD WORK
County Commissioners Inspect Road
Conditions In the County

James A. WEIGH, Fred G. Chambers
and G. S. Collins, county commissions
ers, have recently completed trip
of inspection of all the roads of the
county and are now outlining the work
to be done.
Both the county tractors are doing
fine work and have given no trouble
in any manner. The commissioners
found the road to Eastport in good
condition with the exception of strip
between Sinclair and Addie. The
road supervisors are at work in the
Eastport district and one of the trac-
tors was used in that district this
week.
The drive from Addie to the DAN
quist ranch in the Round Prairie dis
trict was made. From Danquists on
the road is now impossible for cars
but when work now planned is done
good road will be provided. 1t is
now too wet for road work in that
section.
The Twin City tractor was used the
first of last week in the Fitzpatrick
ranch district and the middle of the
week was sent onto the Porthill road.
While the commissioners were at
PASSPORT they drove over into Canada
and found that the Canadians were
just beginning road work. The Can
adams are interested in good roads
and hope to connect with the Eastport
road to the main route in the Calgary
country.
The forestry department has let the
contract for the slashing on the Cope
land-Addie road to Harvey Washburn
and Smith Bros.

MIGHT OFFER
HOSPITAL SITE

All offers of sites for the states
two tuberculosis hospitals, one of
which is to be constructed in north
Idaho and the other in the southern
part of the state, must be in the hands
of j. X. White, state commissioner OF
public welfare, before June 80, ac-
cording to an announcement just made
by Mrs. j. o. Athey, president OF the
state tuberculosis commission.
Several propositions of unusual
merit have already been placed before
the commission" said Mrs. Athey at
Boise the other day, but l feel sure
that there are still many communities
which desire to make and have their
offers considered. Members of the
board have been more than gratified
by the self-evident public spiritedness
which has prompted several cities and
towns to respond as generously as
they have"
The hospital sites will not be Sc
lected until after July 1.
j. X. White, commissioner of pub
lie welfare, wrote the editor of the
Herald this week in regard to the
above proposition and said, There is
no particular reason why your OWL
community should not have aspira
lions in this direction and 1t may bt
that discussion of the proposition
would produce substantial response.
The matter will be taken up by thu
commercial club this evening and /
will be decided whether or not Bon
ners Ferry wishes to make bid TO
the north Idaho hospital.

A STATEWIDE
CLEANUP WEEK

]. X. White, commissioner of public
welfare for Idaho, has issued letters
to the town mayors of the state, urg-
ing them to launch cleanup drives
Immediately and in this connection
has written:
1--WE have decided to forego the
conventional intensive spring clean
up campaign, which usually is con-
fined to a single week, for the purpose
of broadening and amplifying all sucn
endeavor.
Advantages to be derived from sus-
tanned effort in this direction are
numerous. Unemployment problems
and difficulties arising from unsani-
tary conditions would be the first vic
tins to succomb to such a campaign,
and with the solving of these questions
will come the decided benefits Incl
dent to the general Frightening up OF
community. Governor Davis be-
lieves that this activity can be linked
with the w. S. S. campaigns. There
4 is no particular reason why material
collected in the course of campaign
work should not be converted into
Thrift Stamps.
"Woman's clubs, commercial clubs,
rotary clubs, boy scout troops, and
other bodies interested in municipal
welfare will probably be asked to
lend their cooperation. City and the
county officials are expected to begin
their work at once.
TOO much stress cannot be placed
on the early elimination OF the NAL
odorous, fy-breeding manure pile.
Idaho can be made hyless state IL
debris of this description is cleaned
up in the spring and kept cleaned up
throughout the year.
