Idaho Highways

The headline Energetic Idaho
undermining Her Highway Sy-
stem," leads an article in the Nov
ember l issue of Motor West, a
magazine devoted to roadways and
automobiles in western states.
Willard J. Hall, state commits
sioner of public works, is credited
with the preparation of the story.
"Idaho," the article sets forth,
"will spend over $17, 100000 in 1919
and 1920 for additions and improve
ments." 1t shows that funds avail
able under federal aid are far short
of what are required and speaks of
30 state highways, of which four
trunk roads run north and south
and four east and west.
Among the mileage statistics
contained in the article are found
the following figures indicating the
disposition of the 624.7 miles of
roadway under construction or plan
ned.
Gravel and crushed rock surfac-
ing 314.3 miles; earth and crushed
rock 2O3.5 miles; concrete and bith-
ulitlc 66 miles; sand and clay, 40
miles.
The article is illustrated with
views of the Boise. .Arrowrock high
way and of the Lewiston grades, as
we'll as with highway map of the
state calling attention to the diff
cult portion OF the projected high
way through the mountainous
country from New Meadows to
Grangeville.

Talked on Highways

Engineer Dice, assistant in the
highway district office at Moscow
gave very interesting and instruc-
tive talk at the town hall Tuesday
afternoon. He was invited to come
here by the Kendrick Highway
commissioners tor the purpose of
giving information that would be
of assistance to the commissioners
in proceeding witt, the road prob
lens which confront them.
In his remarks he gave it as his
opinion that this section has the
most. difficult and expensive road
construction work of any highway
district in Latah county. However,
he stated that there was no reason
why the district could not proceed
with the idea in mind. Of getting
permanent roads as fast as they
could be built and as long as the
money could be made available.
While here he drove over the
road from Kendrlck to the mouth
of Pine Creek and up the grade on
the Bear ridge side, at that point.
He also viewed the gulch north of
the point of ear,rldge, which pas
ses through the place formerly
owned by Charles Riggle. He said
the strip Of road between Kendrick
and the mouth of Wandschere gulch
could be built with comparatively
small expense, as all that would be
needed in the way of construction Is
a small amount of grading and also
slightly wider road bed. 1t would
then be ready for surfacing.
Mr.. Dice gave it as his opinion
that the first step toward securing
federal aid is to vote bonds. He
said that until the district had
taken this step it wasn't likely the
state highway board would take
much interest in an application for
federal aid. The next step is the
preliminary survey of the district
from which a project.statement can
be made and sent in to thesstate
highway commissioners at Boise,
from there it will be sent to Port
land and from there to Washington,
D. c., where, if allowed, the money
Will be set aside and the notlfica-
tion of same returned to the state
engineers Office at Boise.
Mr.. Dice's estimate on the cost OF
constructing highways IN this sec.
tion is approximately $4,000 pei
mile. The Kendrick Highway Dis
trict can vote at least 100000
bonds and can secure approximately
100000 of federal aid. This will
give an idea as to the mileage thai
can be built with the money avail
able.

Want New Rural Route

A petition is being circulated in
the Cameron and Southwick vicinity
asking that rural route out of
Kendrick be established so that
these two communities may nave
the service that they justly deserve.
The petition is being literally
signed and everything seems to in
dlcate that it is only a matter of
unwindlng the required amount of
redItape to have the route establish
ed.
The proposed route leads from
Kendrick up Wandschere gulch to
Cameron, taking the south road to
point where it intersects the
present Southwlck rural route, fol-
lowing this rural route and return
by way of the north road to Cam
eron and then back track to Kend-
rick. This would make a route of
approximately 20 miles, covering
thickly populated rural district and
greatly increasing the efficiency of
the mail service to the patrons on
the route. This proposed route
would do away with the pre-
sent Southwick rural route, which
is approximately II miles in length
and would give the patrons of this
route direct daily mail commune
cation with a railroad point. The
service these people get today is not
what they have right to expect
in this day and age. The mail
leaves Kendrick on the stage about
two o'clock and is held over in
Southwick all night. leaving the
next morning by rural carrier.
Anyone on the route who wishes to
post letter would have it carried
by rural mail carrier to South
wick, to remain there until the next
day and then carried to Kendrick by
stage. When the new rural route
is in operation letter mailed to-
day would reach the railroad point
the same day, giving more direct
service.
There are many points in favor ol
the new route and so far nothing OF
Importance has been brought uI
against it. 1t has been suggested
that If the rural route were pu
into effect it would do away with
the Southwlck post office. This
; however, is not the case. The Office
can be maintained as before as i
serves considerable territory tina
, is not touched by the proposed rura
, route.

checking up to see if he can afford
a new suit or a pair of shoes. The
family eye is turning TO Christmas
and is bright with expectation.
YuIetide joy is lowering in the
offing and all arms are extended
to it. But what will you give?
That is the old, old story-the one
which each person must determine
for himself.

Treating Grain For Smut

Idaho farmers are being mislead
by certain commercial concerns and
agricultural papers which have
been advocating llme-sulphur and
powdered sulphur for use in seed
treatment. Neither Of these SUBJ
stances have proven of positive
value to controlling smut. The
fungicidal value of both of them
depends upon their being subjected
to higher temperatures than obtain
ed in the soil at seeding time.
Careful tests have shown that
neither of these substances can be
depended upon to even kill the
smut which is on the seed under all
conditions.
The best authorities who have
been years in the study of smut con-
troll are agreed that the two meth
DDS of seed treatment which are
most satisfactory are the formalde-
hyde method and the copper sui
phate method. Formaldehyde is
the cheaper and safer method to use
where the soil is not infected with
the smut organism. Copper sui.
phate or blue vitrol, as it is some.
times called is more satisfactory
for treatment of fall sown wheat
where soil infection obtains. For
maldehyde is the better treating
agent for barley, oats and spring
SoWn wheat.

Business Men Organize

The business men of Kendrick,
numbering over fifty, held get
together meeting IN the dining
room of the Guy Hotel last Friday
evening. The management of the
hotel served a splendid banquet,
with places at the tables for the
entire crowd. After the good things
had been properly disposed of,
Charles McKeever, toastmaster for
the evening, called on a number to
express their ideas of the proposed
new rural route out Of Kendrlck.
A committee from Cameron, con-
=sisting of H. Blum, H. E. Bramer
and George Ehlers, each responded
to an invitation to give their
opinion in regard to the benefits
which they would derive from the
new route. They were very favor
able indeed and indicated that when
the people Of Cameron and South
wick had the matter explained to
them in detail, there would be
very little, if any, opposition to the
plan. The Kendrick business men
enjoyed very much the association
with their neighbors from Cam
seron.
During the latter part Of the
evening the talk gradually drifted
around to the matter of forming a
commercial club. At first there
was considerable opposition to the
idea, as the name commercial
club" brought up memories of con-
siderable wasted effort and also
lack of effort, which occurred under
the administration of commercial
clubs in the past. However the
substitution of the name "Get
Together Club" seemed to satisfy
the opposition to such an extent
that when the matter was put to
vote it was unanimously carried.
The fact that practically every live
town in the United States is work
ing under the direction of either a
commercial club or chamber of
commerce, didn't carry much
weight. The idea seemed to be
prevalent to some extent at least,
that Hendricks club didn't work
successfully under any such name
as commercial club" so the other
name was adopted.
Officers were elected as follows
Charles McKeever, president; G. F
Walker, secretary; M. B. McCon.
nell, treasurer. That the choice Of
officers was good one will be prac
tically demonstrated during the
coming year ir the splendid re.
suits which are going to be accomp-
lished.
No definite dates will be fixed fol
meeting and no stated dues collect
ed. Whenever there is anything
that needs attention the chairman
is empowered to call a meeting
Whenever money is needed th'
members of the club have promised
that it will be forthcoming. 4
simple but practical plan.

Died in LACROSSE
MRS. l.. III. WHITE PASSED AWAY
THIS MORNING.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. o. White received
a message from Lacrosse, Wis, today
announcing the death in that city at
2 o'clock this morning of the latter's
sister, Mrs. l.. III. White. The cause
of death was prostration.
Her condition is presumed
to have originated from a recent fire
in her home. A daughter, Eloise,
had been i'll of typhoid fever for a
number of weeks and her mother had
been much worn nursing her and her
father, aged "a years, who resided
with her. When the fire broke out
all were safely removed from the
house to a hospital but Mrs. White
was at n confined to bed On ac-
count of her nervous condition. Mr..
and Mrs. w. o. White will depart for
Lacrosse tomorrow.
Mrs. White, deceased, formerly re-
sided in Madison and was married in
this city. She was well known as
Miss Edith Cornelysen, sister of A. j.
Cornelysen, a pioneer resident of
Madison. Her husband, who survives
was formerly a conductor on the S.
M. division of the Milwaukee road,
but of late years has been engaged
in the undertaking business in La
Crosse.

IMMIGRANTS COMING
NINE CARS PASS THROUGH MAD.
ISON TODAY EN- ROUTE
WEST.

A stream of immigration has al
ready set in throughout this and 9TH
er sections of South Dakota. The
last years record of high production
and the fact of available farming
land not yet near the peak price has
induced hundreds of families to buy
farms and take up residence within
our borders. Just today nine cars of
immigrants mostly from Iowa, where
land values have reached a point
that is restrictive to opportunity,
passed through Madison en- route to
points west and northwest. Among
them were Il. Brown, H. C. Barnette,
Otis Peters, H.. Lane and e. Chand-
Ter, all from Lamont, Ia; e. L. Drake
and Roy Brownlee. of Kellerton, and
two men from Corning. This contin-
gent are all practically young men,
who are seeking the best possible adj
vantages for themselves and families,
and all will settle near Artesian.
They have with them stock and farm
ing implements and their intention is
to buy farms and locate permanently.

PERSHING HONORS
SERGT. YUILL CITED FOR EN-
TRAORDINARY HEROISM.

Sioux Falls, March "a Howard
boy has received high honors from
Gen. John j. Pershing in France, ac-
cording to a letter received by ID. A.
Mccullough, of Sioux Falls. The
young ma is Sergt. julius o. Yuill,
company M. 361st infantry. 91st di-
vision, and the citation Gen. Per-
shing gave him as announced at
American headquarters over there,
is as follows:
For extraordinary heroism in ac-
ton near Epinoville, France, Sep
TENDER 2, 1918. Accompanied by m
man Sergt. Yuill went forward to a
German trench, hand bombed it, kill
ing a German officer and two SOL
diers, and held the trench until rein
forced by a party of four. Fearing
that the Germans in the trench would
through sniper and machine gun fire,
cut off their means of escape and
captured 81 prisoners. On the same
day he killed an officer, who with
two men was attempting to set up a
machine gun to ambush the command
group. He followed the Two men in
to their dugout and killed one of
them and with the help Of other
members of the command thoroughly
mopped the place."
In a letter from Sergt. Yuill, dated
February /, to Mr.. Mccullough, he
imodestly refers to the decoration as
follows:
Gen. Black Jack Pershing was
here, inspected and reviewed us last
Monday and seemed real well pleased
with the appearance of the division.
He decorated a few of the boys with
the d. s. C. and I was lucky enough
to draw one. The old boy pinned on
the cross, handed each one a little
salve, shook hands and then took us
up to the reviewing stand with him
and watched the division pass in re-
view. They marched in French mass
formation with fixed bayonets.
There was snow on the ground and
the drab and flashing bayonets loom
ed up fine.
This is one of those long winter
evenings and there is not much to do
around here. Am trying to kill a lit
tie time writing letters. I was lucky
enough to get a real Eice place to
stay here at a private house. They
are talented musicians, so help to
pass many pleasant evenings. Think
we will get home by the first Of
April. II it's all over, / want to get
| home right now, if not we are ready
