STEVENSON CROSSING
rs NOW IN SERVICE.
Lawyers Canyon No Longer Bugaboo
to Travelers.-May 10 "Clean-
up Day. ."-other CONNER
cial Club Activities.


After the reorganization of the local
Commercial Club a fortnight ago, the
matter of getting the Stevenson cross
ing grade at lawyers canyon, due
south of town, in proper condition for
travel was taken up with characteristic
Nezperce zeal and to-day this crossing
is on 4 five per cent grade and, while
the surfacing is yet to be done, it is
so far superior to any highway means
before provided for intercourse be-
tween the Camas and Nez Perez prai-
ries, that large proportion of the
travel back and forth will hencefor-
ward use it exclusively.
On Tuesday of last week so men
from this community put needed finish
ing touches on the south grade, and
yesterday about 80 Nezpercers put in
the day smoothing up this side-remov<
ing loose rock and covering with dirt
beds of sharp rock whore blasting had
been done.
These are tangible results that the
Club may point to with pride.

WINCHESTER AND COTTONWOOD
VOTE HIGHWAY BONDS.

On last Saturday. the Winchester
Highway District voted bonds in the
amount of 100000 to carry out that
district s program for the north and
south state highway. A total of 129
votes were cast and only three votes
were cast against the bond issue.
The district has bonded itself to the
maximum amount allowed by the law
on its assessed valuation, and the
bonds will be sold and the money
made available for highway contruc-
ton, as soon as the permanent location
has been made. Under the provisions
of the state law distriits with an as
sessed valuation not exceeding $1,000
600 will receive state aid in the con
struction of state highways to the
amount of so per cent, and this will
be available for construction work
through the district.
The financing of the highway con
struction through the Winchester dis
trict furnishes the last link to be fl
nanced between Lewiston and south
idaho and between; Lewiston and a
point beyond Moscow. The Camas
prairie districts voted bonds last year,
but it has been necessary for the Cot
tonwood district to float a new issue
to provide money for the state highway
construction and the construction of
laterals, while the first bond issue
voted in the Ferdinand district will
not be sufficient to complete the high
way from the Cottonwood district to
the Lewis county line.
The construction work between
Grangeville and Whitebird was com
menced early in the winter and the
Lapwai valley is now engaged in sur
facing about seven miles of the state
highway from Lapwai to Jacques Spur.
The Cottonwood highway district on
Monday voted bonds in the amount Of
100000 to provide funds for the com
pletion of the north and south state
highway through the district, and pro-
vide for lateral construction. A total
of 275 votes were cast and only 81
were against the bonds. This is the
second issue floated by the Cottonwood
district to provide for the highway con
struction, and considerable grade work
and some surfacing has been completed.
The commissioners have not indicated
what lateral construction will be first
taken up, but it is understood a good
highway will be constructed into the
Keuterville section, and further i'm
provements will be made on the Green
creek road and Improvements will be
made on the road tapping the Icicle
flat section.

The exceedingly strong Liverpool of Saturday was mainly re- sponsible for the early improvement which carried prices 30 to 4s points above the level of last weeks close.

The weather map was more favorable and this worked against values to some extent Texas is getting rains that were badly needed and all sections of the belt are experiencing Just what to expect from the weekly crop reports tomorrow, it is difficult to say for the better weather comes rather late in the week and cold weather pre- vailed over large area earlier in the week. Political news is usually feature less so that the course of the market tomorrow will probably depend largely on the construction placed on the crop returns.

July sold at 17soc' and December at r. 14c, or + to GO points above last night s closing figures. Houses with New Orleans connections were good buyers on the advance which was accom- panied by reports that hedges were oelhg covered aeainst business in the spot mar ket and that spot prices were advancing There may also have been some buying on private cables from Brazil reporting strong primary markets, but the advance met a great deal of realizing and there WAS a sharp break in the afternoon Tn conseuuence Part of the selling came from houses with western connections and may have been influenced by the weakness in grain. July closed at rLooc hid. while December sold off to l665c wltn the market closing net unchanged to 10 points lower.

New Orleans Cotton

By Associated Press
 New Orleans April 29.-While there were fairly wide advances in the early trading in cotton today. the. market turned soft later and in the afternon went to a net decline. The close showed net losses of to II points. Easiness was due to heavy liquidation from the long side and liberal offerings of short cot ton from traders who were working for a reaction, which they considered was overdue
 The opening was higher and the ad- vance continued until the trading months were 30 to 4S points above the level Of Saturdays close This improvement was the reflection Of the sensational strength in Liverpool yesterday. As the market rose. offerings increased from traders who wanted their profits on long cotton and from traders who were encouraged to sell short by reports that badly needed rams were falling in Texas. By the noon hour, the greater part of the advance was iost and in the afternon prices were sent 1' to 3e points under the close Of ssituroay
 From 26.6S, July was sent do"n .o 25S. May at one time traded at Z"'o' a new high prices for the new contract: At one time May was at premium or 12 points over board prices for spots' which quoted middling at 2765c.

Liverpool was also a .SII and as the market eased off the south also selling gradual feeling is spread ing that possibly the improved weather would cause holders to liquidate, togesAer with the fact that even if peace is signed it may be some time before exports can be made In fact, many of the factors which brought about the recent adN$hce arpear for the moment at least to have been discontinued, so that reaction Of moment would be quite natural.-Hub- ha rd Bros & Co.

ALL NEW MONTHS IN HIGH GROUND
 IN COTTON MARKET
Old Style Months Were About , Points Lower to 20 Points Higher Than
 Monday
By AssoeIafrd Ptns,


 New York, April 29.-An early advance of about 30 to 45 points carried all the new months into high ground in the cot ton market today. but there was heavy realizing around 2719c for July and 25.S5c for October and prices then broke sharply. July sold off 10 266 and October to 2479c or 26 to 34 points below last nights closing, but recovered several points of the loss in the last few minutes and closed very steady net 20 points higher to 8 points lower Old style months were about points lower to 70 higher
 The market opened firm at an advance of 1S to 40 points on the new style posi- tions in response to the strong showing of Liverpool over the four days holiday Private cables attributed this to old months ealing, the marHet may have also been influenced by the resumption or Lancashire mills spinning American cot ton after having been closed since the 18th of April until yesterday. Houses with Liverpol connections were good buy CTS here and the early advance was pro- noted by prospects for local gains in the eastern belt. Realizing was active from the start, however, and during the early afternoon the selling became more ag- gressive, particularly though houses with western connections whose operations were thought to be connected with the break in the grain market Reports to local authority indicating that there would not be a heavy reduction in acre age in the Carolinas and Georgia and southwestern report placing the crop at S6.2 did not attract much attention early, but may have been factor on the re- action of 65 to 75 points from the early high level The close showed rallies ot 9 or 90 points from the lowest on cover ing Exports today were 25S2 bales max ing 3,S2S,0S6 so far is season Port re- ceipts 15,5s2.

MANY NEW ISSUES
 WERE QUOTED ON STOCK EXCHANGE
Events Across the Water Were Not Figured as Fac tors During Yester-
 days Trading
By AmoeIstsd P-sss

New York, April 29-The scope of the trading on the stock exchange to- day expanded visibly, a greater variety of issues being quoted than at any of the recent active sessions.
 Less attention was directed towards events across the water, greater in- terest being manifested in the quarter ly meeting of the United States Steel directors. which did not. convene until after the markets close.
 United States Steel was dull and hesitant until midday when heavy buy ing sent the stock up to 102, from which it reacted sharply, closing at 101h, gain of 5s. The action of the steel board in passing the extra" 1 per cent common dividend occasioned no surprise in conservative circles.
 Marked strength was shown by utili- ties. especially telegraph and telephone shares, presumably as a result of Post master General Burleson's recommenda- tion that the cable lines be soon re- stored to private ownership.
 Shippings led the entire market un- der guidance of Atlantic Gulf at net gain of Sh points, marine common ad- vancing almost points and Pacific Mail 3ss. Material advances in Inter- national and United Fruit were dssi- pated at the end.
 Food and allied specialties displayed unwonted activity sugar shares rising from to 9 points, with variable gains for National biscuit, California Pack ing and American and Continentals.
 Oils were unstable on high offerings of Royal Dutch and American Petrol cum, although some of the less prom inent issues were firm to steady with gains of l to points in secondary rails were Iargly cancelled.
 Railroad bonds were strong on fur ther buying of low grade issues, the Liberty group was firmer and foreign issues made slight gains. Total sales (par value) aggregated S13,250,O00. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Over Stewart's Wire

New Orleans, April 2s.-Strength in Liverpool, the adoption of the league covenant without amendments, strong dry goods reports the strong attitude in Wall street and the expectation of a oullish weekly crop report were the considera- tions which produced 20 to 40 points fur ther advance in the market in the early trading.
 Liverpool scored as much as 52 points advance yesterday and was about 20 net higher than due this morning on openin
 Latest dry goods report says Cotton goods market stronger and prices higher some print cloths advanced IA to F cent Ginghams more active and advancing.
 Stock market transactions reached enor nous proportion with an undercurren' strength reflecting broader confidence.
 The Italian situation still seems acute as Ambassador Page left Rome and there is silence in press on the subject this morning, but there is an opinion that the quick adoption of the league covenant to which Italy is a party eliminates dan ger. and the rumor from Paris that the head of the Swiss federation has been called to Paris, is presumably to act as arbiter in the case, also tended to allay apprehension.
 Good rains have fallen since Saturday in the northwestern quarter of the belt and indications today are for generally un- settled rainy weather which is favor able.
 Spots are firm. There is less willingness to sell and the basis is stiffening again.
 Liverpool advises an increase in Ameri- can stock of 7lSS bales and an increase in all kinds of 3s145.
 After holding steady around 25 points up to within the last hour of the session the market turned weak and on the de- cline ran into stop-loss orders reaching the low point of the day After ranging within a limit of 50 to 70 points, the mar ket closed steady 3 off to up from pre- vious close
 Spots are 12 points up, middling T75c; sales 1757 bales.
 Interior spot markets are unchanged to 50 points up with a good business done during the day.
