A scenic highway, whereby tourists

pass over their right-of-ways. Chas-
Johnson, city councilman, has asked
and secured from the city council.
moral and financial backing to as
sure the establishment of such
scenic road, subject to the granting OF
the permits by the two public service
corporations.
In detail, It is planned to connect
the short road which runs at present
from the Snake river wagon bridge al
most to the railroad bridge, and the
junction OF 16th street with the riv-
er. To do this, the highway would
have To pass under the railroad bridge
and cross eight OF the power COM

the street which runs from the old
opera house down to the Snake.
There are both economic and safe
ty advantages TO be gained from such
an improvement besides the scenic
side of the proposition. One OF tho
most important, as Mr. Johnson points
out, Is that Il Will enable sheep ana
cattle coming from the west bank OK
the Snake TO go through town to the
highways going south without having
| to cross the railroad track, with all
it's attendant dangers TO stock, at any
fpoint. He mentioned further that
should the $4,000 bond issue be ac-
cepted by the voters of American
Falls. this new highway will cut Off
at least half mile haul OF gravel
to the streets to be graded In the
southern part OF town, and particu-
larly those around 18th street. The
gravel Is secured from the river
dredge and a saving In haul Of one
half mile IL quite a nitem OF expense.
Council Votes Appropriation.
The city council at recent meeting
voted TO authorize an appropriation To-
make the necessary steps TO put such
road in condition should the com
panies grant the permits, and work Is
dependent now upon word to the lat
ter effect. II is estimated that not
much more than $50 will be needed
to make the highway passable.
The lots OF the Idaho Power Ce-
which they are asking TO pass over,
are useless in themselves. The earth

combine our work in such a way that

farmer and business man behind IL,
this proposed Organization will be
able TO demand attention from the
state officials and will convince them
that we are a real live community
awake to the demands OF the times and
ready and willing to do our part that
we may deserve whatever help is
awarded us. Another point is that
we intend TO give every farmer and
worker in the county an opportunity
to use his teams and his labor al

county highways. Federal aid has
been promised us and we shall bent

Three hundred thousand dollars for
road improvement in highway district
No. / of Power county will be avail
able if the proposal of the highway
commissioners to float $150,000 bond
issue meets with the favor of the
people. The commissioners can OBJ
tain from the state fifty cents for
every dollar spent on state highways.
For money spent on post roads the
federal government will spend dollar
for dollar for all state and district
appropriations. For instance, should
the district from it's bond issue ap-
propriate the sum of say $4,000, we
could obtain from the state $4,000
and from the federal government an
additional amount of 100000. There
fore If highway district No. l voted
to expend $150,000 it would mean that
come from the state, and the district
would have available large amount
to be used in the surfacing of its own
local roads. Such is the plan an
nounced this week by the highway
commissioners of this district who
have been considering for several
months ways and means of improving
the county roads.
Not until last week were the COM
misisoners assured that the state and
federal aid would be forthcoming in
such a liberal amount.
Money Stays at Home.

government was procured through a
petition of the highway commission
ers to the state and through the Of
fices of o. R. Baum who represented
the petitioning body at Boise.

the commissioners are working on g
plan that they believe will allow prac

to be spent at home. At the farmers

that, I'VE are planning to provide
