have with her many very attractive
little garments with which to illus

bridge. 1t is not this straw vote that
they tell US SO much about or. the
packed mass meetings nor is il the
scare that they are trying to create by
telling us that if we don't keep quiet
the bridge will not be built Now if
there is any one so weak in the head
that he thinks that this bridge is not
going to be built, would advise him
to invest in bottle of Tanlac, for the
bridge will be built. The money is ap-
propriated for it, and it is now only
matter Of locating same However,
should they succeed in bringing pres
sure enough to bear on the proper au-
thorities to have the bridge located
near the Nampa Ferry, then it will be
up to the courts to decide on the loca-
ton, which of course will cause a
delay.
Another item to show how unfair
they are in this matter, the middle
bridge site due east from Claytonia
with an estimated cost of $4,000 90 or
81 | 10000 less than the Nampa Ferry
site, besides eliminating the grade up
by Lizard Butte on the road leading
north from the bridge at cost of ap-
proximatelv 100000, and the grade
from Nampa Ferry to tho dam from
100000 to $8,0O000 Now they even
refuse to consider this site which we
would be, willing to compromise on.
A bridge in the middle site would
eliminate both ferries. But it seems
that the new townsite, and the Nampa
dream of having the equalizer of the
reservoir bridged so that they could
hold the trade from the Riverside
country and the Gem District. and
eventually connect the Gem District
to the new county of Nampa This is
surely great combination for trade
at the expense of the taxpayers and
the Inconvenience of the majority Of
people. D. G. RUBY
