are side by side in earnest endeavor
to create lasting peace belt that
shall reach around, the world, en-
circling all col0rs, races and breeds
in its folds.
A stronger argument, however, is
the fact that such a red man as
Charles Alexander Eastman, whose
tribal name was Ohiyesa. and whose
tribe was Souix, whose place of birth
was Redwood Falls, Mimi, should
adopt the ways of the white men and
teach his people to do the same.
Eastman was an Indian boy of fine
build and clear intellect who con-
cluded early in life that it was best
for the red man to accept civiliza-
ton and education and adopt its
ways of living. With the full ap-
proval Of his parents he left his
tribe while still boy, finally worked
his way thru Dartmouth College and
later graduated from the medical
department of the Boston university.
This was in 1890 l believe. He
served as government physician at
the Crow Creek agency at the time
of the big outbreak when both the
red and white men made cruel mis-
takes that caused loss of life on both
sides and destroyed a former con-
fidence the races had begun to sus-
tain. Notwithstanding all, he and his
people suffered he courted and won
white woman for his wife. Elaine
Goodale was a Massachusetts girl
born and reared in good circle of
environment, became interested in
Indian education, taught, and was
married to DR.. Eastman at the Crow
Creek agency. They worked to-
gether for the betterment of the
Indian race, for setting aside the
differences between the two people
and especially for the adoption of
the ways of civilization by the red
man. Both DR.. Eastman and his
wife have written several books that
are to be found on the shelves Of
the white man, while the doctor has
been noted lecturer for dozen
years. l often wonder why he is
not on the chautauqua platform.
Well, one of the ways of civilza-
ton is building roads. The trail of
the red man and the bride way of
the pale face must merge into the
highway of the future of Bingham
county. 1t is as much the duty of
the one to open the way to reach
the outer bounds of the reservation
as it is the other to create access to
the limits of it's boundaries on the
east and on the west.

Portable ways built by other energy

the reservation over which we have
no control. Yes, I'm reaching that
point right now.
The Indian must build good roads
over his own domain, for it is right
and just that he should do so. But
the Indian says no, we have griev-
ance against the white man and will
not make roads for him to receive
benefit from. True, there is a dis
tressing difference still holding in
small ways between the two races,
the justice of which I shall not try
to discuss. Suffice to say, the white
man had an equal one with England

scheme for advertising poster-boards.
But there are sign-boards that do

Hopffgarten makes his signs
beautiful. He put sort Of elaborate
picture-frame around them, and at
the sides he will have a pilastre ef-

figures pretending to support the
pedestal which tops the columns. The
result is remarkable, it is pleasing
to the eye and flattering to the be-
holder, for 1t is nothing more than
the advertisers confession that we
folks have certain sensibilities and
are perhaps family shocked at the
sight OF an unlovely thing, such as
a square board with glaring sign

Dere and Dhere
BY Mrs. Byrd Trego

When my dreams come true there
will be good road leading from the
Fort Hall agency, thru the bottoms,
over the hills and along the creek
leading up to the Blackfoot reservoir.
There will be safe travelling by-ways
branching off from this by which
the curious sight-seer may reach
Mount Putnam, with less wearing
effort than at present.
Mr.. Trego and I went that way
in the little Cub car one Sunday last
fall when Jack Frost had just begun
his annual painting. Oh, but the
yellow and crimson and brown and
gold with dashes of evergreens were
beautiful along the mountain sides.
II it had not been for the expectant
surprises of nature we would not
have had the courage to combat the
ruts and rocks and slides in what
was supposed to be the road.
The Indians hold wonderful
country in that section. of the reser-
walton. The crops looked good too

SAY, MIR. FARMER: READ THIS
Did You Ever Notice

Did you ever notice a big cloud Of
dust following every automobile as
they pass by during the dry days:
Well, that cloud of dust represents
some of your hard earned cash. It
means that about cents worth of
your roads are blowing away to every
mile that the car travels. Just figure
out the number Of cars that pass
your place in certain time and find
out what you are losing. Maybe you
think that it costs some money to buy
"gas" for car! 1t is estimated that
a car can go about fifteen miles to
gallon Of gasoline; some claim as
high as twenty miles to the gallon.
At that rate with gasoline at 80 cents
per gallon it only costs " cen@
per mile for gasoline. Therefore,,
that cloud of dust behind the auto
mobiles is costing you taxpayers just
about as much per mile to
let them run on your roads
as it costs the automobiles
per mile for gas" Think Of it!
You are paying more to furnish the
autoists roads upon which to drive
than they are paying for their gaso-
line. Let that fact sink into yer
pesky hides and see how you like it.
Another fact that you must con-
slider is, that it is estimated that the
farmers are now purchasers of about
55 per cent of the autos. In Other
words, you fellows who own and I'll
the soil are buying more cars than
your city brothers. This means that
you are driving cars over country
roads more than they are, therefore.
If these roads are in bad shape. YOU
farmers are getting "stung" more
than the city fellows and the quicker
you can see it that way, the better
it will be for everyone concerned.
Sum it all up in this manner:
You need the good roads more
than the city man.
You pay more for them than thew
do.
You drive more over them than
they do.
You pay less for good roads in the
long run than you do for gradfhe
and fixing" the old dirt roads.
Your house.. furnishings and
clothes get most of the dust
What're you going to do about it?
Stop patching u pthe roads which
consist merely of dust.
Stop spending the road funds each
year for such work.
insist upon good roads being built
and do it now-every delay costs you
money. Vote bonds for proper road
If there are no funds avail
able for that purpose and get the
good roads now. Then pay off the
bonds with the funds which have
been wasted each year on patching
up old dirt roads which never
to anything when they.
were fixed"

Saving in Cost Of Hauling

see.
Saving in Cost Of Hauling
According to authoritative figures
it cost just Is cents to move load
Of one ton a distance of one mile
on the ordinary unimproved high
way. To move the same tonnage
the same distance on a concrete road
costs Is cents.
Suppose the acre of ground in
question, which on account Of the
new highway is costing you "a cents
per year, yields one ton of produce
which must be marketed at some
distance, requiring haul of say
five miles on the concrete road. Saw
ing 10 cents on each ton for every
mile travelled, there would result
total saving of so cents. In other
words, in one trip you have paid off
the cost of the road and netted a
profit of Is cents besides.
In support of this argument, Al
bert Beveridge, our most recognized
statitician is quoted:
Zone of the most conservative and
accurate American econimists has
shown by careful figures that Ameri-
can farmers lost nearly ten hundred
million dollars each year because
they cannot get what they have to
sell within reach of the purchaser"
1t stands to reason that If this
country today possessed a system of
highways as efficient as it's present
degree of wealth and development
along other lines would warrant,
there would be no need of making
the above statement, or of arguing
about the savings in costs of hauling.
Increase in Land Values
Another important item which we
must not overlook in calculating the
profits to be derived by improving
the roads in a community, is the pro-
bable increase in land values. Ac-
cording to bulletin No. 1876 of the
department of agriculture, land val
ues in Manatee county, Fla. after a
system Of improved highways had
been constructed increased $40 to
WV per acre. In Spotsylvania
county, Va. land selling at $24.74I
per acre sold for $44.74 after good
roads were constructed. On eight
pieces of land in Franklin county. Va.
selected at random, an average in
crease of $3.50 per acre was noted,
Other counties in many other Sec
tions of the country also exper-
fenced big increase in land values in
the same manner. Again, the i'm
proved highway in question will cost
you 30 cents per acre per year for
twenty years, or a total of 5000
This figure, compared with the aver
age increase in land values all over
the United States, due to road i'm
provements, is quite insignificant.
From the above line of reasoning
It is very evident that a farmer has
everything to gain and nothing to
loose by getting behind general |
good road movement in his com
nunity. Never yet has there been a
single potent argument against the
construction of efficient highways.
they are most vitality essential to
me welfare and progress of our great
nation.

ORIGINAL ROAD BUILDERS

The Carthaginians started first the
building Of permanent roads and
the Romans continued in their
Wheel-paths. There is something in
the old boast that "all roads lead to
Rome" for the willy Romans made
them for the purpose of going out
and bringing home the bacon to

POLO GROUNDS. NEW YORK, No
vember 29.-SomeWhere between forty
and fifty thousand persons today
filled the stands and lined the field to
watch the Army and Navy in the re-
sumption of their gridiron struggles,
the first since 1916. Ten thousand or
so will watch the test of foot ball
brains and physical strength and
agility with real understanding. while
the others probably will see only the
riot of color-riot of color being the
usual pression-embodied in the
endless lot of gold lace. chrysanthe-
NUNS, shoulder straps and chevrons.
Army people seem to have the eX-
pectant attitude of those that feel
confident of doing exactly what they
have been doing for four consecutive
years. In 1915 and 1916 the games
were little more than recounting OF
the heroic deeds of Elmer Oliphant,

Navy Line May Surprise.
For some reason or other it seems
to be the opinion here that the Army
line, because of it's beef, is going to
outplay the Navy line and win.
Freely opinions are being expressed
in from one end of the press box to
the other that the Navy will never
overcome that advantage of weight
the Army has among it's forwards. In
reality, from what the writer has seen
of the Navy line, the Army line is
pretty sure to find itself up against
the toughest proposition it has faced.
and if the hard driving Navy back

slippery gridiron, the Army mule
is going to have the time of his life

Police today directed attention to
the fact that many motorists seem to
have overlooked two of the important
features of that section of the traffic
regulations requiring that an tutomo-
bile shall not approach within fifteen
feet of street car loading or unload

These two features are:
That the regulation prohibits an ap-

That the regulation prohibits an

shall have left a street car until the
passenger shall have reached place
