CITY MAY GET
FEDERAL Aid
GOVERNMENT MONEY FOR POST
ROADS is NOW AVAILABLE FOR
ROUTES THROUGH TOWNS
MATTER Is BEFORE COUNCIL
Prompt Action May Mean More Money
for Streets OF BOnners Ferry

County Clerk j. b. Brody is in re-
cept of a letter from w. l. Bassett,
state district engineer, in which he
informs the county commissioners of
new federal ruling providing for the
securing of federal road aid on post
routes leading through cities of less
than $500 population.
The information is now in the hands
of the Bonners Ferry board of trus-
tees and it is likely that some action
Will be taken in the matter by the
council in the near future as the new
ruling may be interpreted to mean
that Bonners Ferry can get federal
aid for its main travelled thorough
fares which are used for the purpose
of carrying rural mail.
Details of the new ruling are con-
tanned In the following letter written
by c. IL. Purcell, acting district engi-
neer, of Portland, Oregon, and ad-
dressed to the Director of Highways
of the State of Idaho:
experimenting our letter OF July
20, in reply to yours Of July %, rela-
tive to proposed post road project
in Mountain Home, we have received
a decision from our Washington cffice
to the effect that federal aid, If re-
quested on project traversing the
limits of a town.. will be allotted in
the usual way, based on an estimate
for width approximately the same as
that on the contiguous highway at
either end.
IF the town wishes to construct "A
greater width of road, this bureau
would not offer objection, but allot-
ment would be made on the basis in
Dictated above.
By the provisions of the act a pro-
lject through town having popula-
ton of less than $500 is eligible to
Federal aid without consideration OF
the proximity of the buildings thereon
The government will cooperate in
the bitulithic pavement to the extent
indicated above, but in case the pave
ment is a patented one, the govern
ment Will not pay any share of the
royalty, unless such pavement is OBJ
tanned on open, actual competitive
I bidding at the same or less cost than
unpatented pavement equally suita-
bic for the same purposes.
} "Curbing being presumably de-
} signed in connection with width of
, roadway in excess of the standard,
! would for this reason be excluded
from federal participation
AS regards the width to be regarded
as standard from the viewpoint of
/ this bureau, this will accordingly vary
according to the locality and condi-
= tons governing contiguous pavement
' but 1t is believed that a maximum OF
: 20 feet may be assumed"
| If, according to the above letter, il
is possible for Boomers Ferry to Sc
E cure federal aid, it will be possible to
. put three main roads leading out OF
l the city, in frstclass shape, providing
e of course that the petition for the
= new mail route to Naples is approved
I The city could figure on getting in
Y the neighborhood OF $4,000 or more
0 additional money for road work within
@ the limits of the town.

INSPECTS LOCAL
POSTAL ROUTE

f. +. Whitney, postal route inspector
of the U. S. government. arrived here
Wednesday and spent several days
in this locality investigating the pro-
posed rural mail route from Boomers
Ferry to Naples and return by way of
Paradise Valley and Cow Creek, the
petition for the establishment of the
route having been signed by over 100
people who would be patrons of the
route, and having been forwarded to
the postal department over month
ago.
Inspector Whitney, Postmaster j..
r. Wiley and County Auditor J. b.
Brody made the trip over the proposed
rural route on Thursday with the idea
of ascertaining the feasibility 6f at
tempting to make the trip regularly
and to get certain facts which are
required before the government will
establish new rural mail routes.
Mr.. Whitney learned that all those
who signed the petition were bona
fide residents and would be benefited
by the proposed mail route and were
anxious to see it established. He al
so found that many people had not
signed the petition who would be very
greatly benefited by the route and who
would have signed If they had had the
opportunity.
Inspector Whitney stated while here
that there are now pending before the
postal department the petitions for al
least $4,000 new rural routes.
He did not express himself as tc
whether or not his report would be
favorable one or not but there is
every reason to believe that the pc.
tition now in the hands of the pos
! tai department, will be granted.
If the new rural route is established
II means that Boundary county may
be able to secure approximately $50,
900 from the government in the way
of road money for rural route roads
and if this money were secured the
county would be in a position to ex
pend 100000 OF its own money anC
100000 of state money on the roat
from Porthill through to the Bonner
Boundary county line which would be
come a state highway. In Bonnie
county the road boosters are endeay
oring to establish a new rural mai
route leading from Standpoint toward
the Boundary county line in order tina
the county may secure federal as we
as state aid for the construction Q
it's part of the North and South high
way.

Things Are Changed

Where late the frenzied fight
ers through fields of carnage
burst, now able bodied writers
are doing of their worst the
gifted lads are pouring out lam
guage weird and soaring, where
late y guns were roarlne, and
muddy soldiers cursed. Where
are the reutons CORY: Where
are the dauntless Serbs? !?
They've left the field OF glory
to raise string beans and herbs;
and writers throng the places
where warfare left its traces;
and they get down to cases and
shoot forth nouns and verbs.
No more Bills mighty legions
along the landscape reach; no
more in sunny regions the shell
and shrapnel screech; the peas
ant is not yelling while foeman
burn his dwelling; but writer's
bold are shelling the world with
parts of speech. No more the
Prussians clamor to Gott in
their despair; but musty chunks
of grammar are whlzzlng
through the air; where Ludy
used to hurry, where Hinden
used to worry, the shade Of
Lindley Murray now walks, de-
MED a chair. Oh, hoch and don
nerwetter, relieved we all must
feel; war of words is better
than is war of steel; Sc let the
scribes be swarming in ranks
for further storming, their
bloodless deeds performing
where armies used to reel.
