USED BUSINESS JUDGMENT

In locating the north and south
state highway the state engineer
only used good business judgment
in order to get the best route for
the least money to serve the great
est numbersof people. By a COM
parison of facts and figures it is
shown that he decided correctly
and the Register cannot see how
he could have selected a better
route, or one more benefit to the
state as a whole, when he located
it through Idaho and Lewis coun-
ties. The location of the route,
had to do with serving the inter
ests of the entire state, from the
state engineers viewpoint and
also from any other point of cor
rect reasoning. Because nature
now and then had placed a COM
munity a little to the side of the
beaten path is no reason for any
one getting alarmed, as it will
only be a short time till good lat
eral highways will be constructed
connecting up with the main
highways and will be benefited
thereby. Fact is, right now the
highway boards of the Central
and Evergreen districts are con-
sidering plans that. will work to
that end.
Personally we would be pleased
to see the state highway reach
every town and hemlet in Lewis
county, but, we could not reason
ably expect it at this time, there
fore, it is simply the duty of every
good citizen of the county to do
all in his power to aid the early
completion of the north and south
state highway as located.
We must start to build roads
from some point and this is our
chance.-Ilo Register.

FRIDAY, FEB. 81, 1919
EXPERIENCE WILL TELL

The form of government of the
state of Idaho was radically
changed February 5, when the
house passed senate bill No. 10
by a vote of 43 to II after amend
ments were adopted eliminating
from the jurisdiction of the mea-
sure the public utilities commits
sion, the industrial accident board,
the state fish and game depart
ment; the state mine inspector
and all advisory boards except the
one attached to the department of
agriculture. After the senate con-
ours, Governor Davis will sign the
measure, which goes into effect
March 81. All existing statutory
commissions and boards except
those named will then go out of
existence and in their place will
come a cabinet of nine heads of
as many departments under which
will be consolidated present de-
partments. These commissioners
will be paid $500 a year and will
be appointed anda be directly res
ponsible to the governor. Whe-
ther this change will prove an adj
vance step in the science and
economy of state government only
experience can demonstrate.

Youngster Beats
Player Who Beat
Father at Tennis

Abraham Bassford, Sd, the sixteen
County, achieved one of the fondcst
ambitions of Abraham Bassford, jr.,
his father, by defeating Samuel Rob
ert McAllister yesterday afternoon in
the final round of the annual cham
pionship lawn tennis tournament OF
the 7th Regiment Tennis Club. Young
Bassford won at 1-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3,
60, rallying in the face of almost
seeming defeat and outplaying the vet
eran McAliister by q sudden change of
tactics. The result came as a great sur
prise to the gallery, which had re-
garded the older player as an almost
certain winner.
Bassford the schoolboy has been
coached on the court by Bassford the
father for the last three years and
his development has been gradual but
sure. Yesterday the boy repaid the
debt by winning q tournament, and it
is doubtful if his pleasure was as great
as that of his father.
In the opening set the youngster
started off with a rush, trying to meet
McAllister's careful driving game BY
volleying at the net. At this style he
met with dlSmaf failure, for the veter-
an piled up the points by beautiful
deep court driving down the sidelines.
Bassford took the second set by OBJ
serving more caution and delaying his
rushes until he had forced the open
ings. In the third set, however, he
grew overambitious again and Meal
lister ran into a lead of SO on
games. The boys father was watch
ing him from the sideiines, and the
chip of the old block, seeing him, sud
denly came to life and won the next
three games, staying in back court
and forcing McAllister to cover a
great amount of court.
The boy lost this set at 3-6, but he
had taken lot of energy out of the
older player by his great rally, and in
the last two sets he continued to stick
10 the backcourt game, forcing
McAllister to do q lot of running.
The latter, who was suffering from a
heavy cold, could not hold the fest
pace and Brassford won the last two
sets at 6-S, 6--2, taking the match
and the championship. He is the
youngest title holder who ever held
the championship,

Army and Navy to
Clash ON CridirOn
Here on Nov. 20

WEST POINT, N. Y, March ID
Nine games comprise the Armys foot
ball schedule as officially announced
to-day by Captain M. B. Ridgway, sec
rotary and treasurer of the Army Ath-
letic Council.
The Army gridders will go into &C
ton for their first game against Mid
dlebury College on the last Saturday in
September, and that college is the only
new one on the cadets schedule. SYRIA
cuse, Tufts and Notre Dame feature
the home games, while the one big
thing on the card for the soldiers is
the battle with the Navy, which will be
played on the Polo Grounds in New
York at the wind-up of the season.
November 20 is "big Navy day"
The resumption of the football con-
tests between the Army and Navy acad-
emies IS source of much delight for
followers of the gridiron sport. The
two elevens have not met since 1916.
Notre Danes eleven will be the main
home attraction, without doubt. The
Hoosiers have been furnishing the ca
diets with thrills annually since their
initial appearance here in 1918, at
which time they opened the ewes of
Eastern football experts to the posi-
bilities of the forward pass. The SOL
diers took leaf from Notrc Danes
book. and with the redoubtable "for-
ward pass monopoly" of Prichard and
Westerners on the occasion of their
second visit, year later, and also
showed the Navy under at the Polo
Grounds the same year with a mem
orabc exhibition of the air line of
fence.
Nobody knows just how the Army's
material for football will size up next
fall. There are but few cadets here
now who have ever played Army foot

of that fall. McQuarrie, a big, heavy
backfeld man, who played here for a
part of two seasons, is. the sole nu-
cleus for the Army coaches to build on

comes with a reputation for speed and
football sense. He captained the Uni
