Splendid Trophies Hung Up for Junior
Farm Bureau Enthusiasts.

Canyon county jurnior farm bureau
members, who belong to the various
livestock clubs, are in line for many
worth while prizes this fall, according
to Miss Edna Black, county club
leader. In addition to the county
awards and prizes which may be hung

outside business firms, interested in
better livestock, have offered many

incentive to Canyon county club mem
bers.
The Union Stock Yards of North
Portland, Oregon has offered $4,000
free trip to the Pacific International,
to be held at Portland, Oregon Nov
ember IA to 10, inclusive. This award

lively early in the season, it is expect
ed that many additional prizes will
be added to the constantly growing
list.

County Handcuffed
on Wilder Highway
Commissioners Cannot Repair Road
Without Big Financial Loss

1.-THE county has made overtures
to the state highway department ask
ing permission to improve the Wilder
road south of Caldwell with county
funds, the money expended there to
be credited to the county when the
state highway district begins con-
struction. This offer has been re-
fused" said c. Ben Ross, county
commissioner, Saturday, in explaining
the poor condition of the road which
leads south from Caldwell to Wilder.
This highway has been designated
a state highway and considerable
money has been expended in running
surveys. Since that time, no main
tenance. work has been done on the
road and numbers of complaints have
been filed by persons who frequently
use the road. 1t is freely asserted to
be in worse condition than any other
improved and we'll travelled highway
in the county.
In answer to letters written the
state highway department by persons
who are interested in that road, the
response has been received to the
effect that since the state has not
actually begun construction on the
road in accordance with the usual
plan of making highways, that main
tenance still devolves on the county.
But Mr.. Ross asserts that because
of the conditions it is impossible for
the county to expend money on the
road. Requests have been made by
county officials, according to Mr..
Ross, to take over the county's share
. of the construction but state highway
officials have informed the Canyon
: county commissioners in substance
that the county does not know how
to build roads. Every effort thus
far to obtain from the state the speci
fications for making the road stat,
highway that the county might d.
the work according to those plans
have failed.
Constant travel over the road
without any effort to maintain il
has resulted in cutting it up badl
until it is almost impossible becaus
of its roughness. According to Nj
Ross, there is nothing which can
done at present, the county not feel
ing obligated to spend money use
lessly on the road when what wor
the county road building gang ma
do, will not be in accordance wit
the plans for its Improvement DRAFT

Borah to Address
Voters of County
Idaho Senior Senator to Speak on
League Issue Shortly.

Senator William E. Borah will give
at least two addresses in Canyon
county, probably next week, on the
league of nations. Following a meet
ing of the Republican county central
committee held at the city hall last
Saturday afternoon, F. c. Ramsey,
secretary of the ways and means
campaign, telephoned an invitation
to the Idaho senator to address Can
yon county voters. Mr.. Borah &C
cepted the invitation butt the dates
and place for the addresses could
not be definitely set by the senator
at the time. 1t is expected, however,
that he will speak .rere in the near
future, probably next week.
Considerable interest in county
politics was displayed at the Satur-
day meeting of the county commit
tee, large per cent of the members
being present. Discussion centered
largely in the ways and means of
conducting the county primary cleo
ton. Precinct committeeman were
instructed to make necessary prepar-
atoms in the way of providing cleo
ton quarters, judges and clerks. 1t
was assumed that each precinct would
bear the expense of conducting the
election, officials contributing their
services for the day.
Considerable discussion conferred in
the features of the new election law
under which the primaries will be
held this year.

LOCAL TW|RLER
PERMITS BOISE
ONLY TWO HITS
Malloy Easily Star of
Baseball Game Sunday
Which Caldwell Hand
lily Wins by AZ Score.

Malloy, resident of Caldwell now
for more than month, Sunday
awakened Boise and the Boise scribes
to the fact that he is pitching gild
edged, if tattoo, ball in the Alfalfa
Loop league. Incidentally the shine
ball artist was never better than he
was Sunday when he let the pen
nant grabbing Boise aggregation
down with two hits and as
many runs. 1t was not Malloy's fault
that he is not credited with a shut
out. neither Of the brace of tallies
credited to the Capital City aggre-
CATION having been earned.
1t was the fourth time in as many
starts that Boise has succumbed to
the prowess of the rejuvinated Cald-
we'll aggregation. However, two of
the games were not league battles
and hence are not credited in the
official games won" for Caldwell.
Sixteen men succumbed by the strike
out route to Malloy's fast breaking
curves and the two hits earned by
Boise were of the scratchiest variety.
Score in First.
AS usual, Caldwell started early to
put the game on ice. After Youmans
has gone out, Cornell got bingle,
went to third when Benedict also
clouted one and both scored on Rine-
harris long drive. In the fourth in
ming, Caldwell again annexed couple
of runs, this time one hit, by Gill, an
error, wild pitch and on out, ac-
counting for the tallies.
Cornell and Benedict bobbled in the
seventh frame and kept Malloy from
being credited with a we'll earned shut
out. Cooley walked, stole second and
scored on Wells single. Wells sub
sequently scored on errors by Cornell
and Benedict. The inning looked pro-
pitious for Boise but Malloy frightened
up and disposed of the side without
difficulty. Nelson, with three-bag-
Der in the ninth inning, got his usual
healthy poke at the pill. He failed
to score, however. Fast fielding
robbed Caldwell batters of several
apparently sure bingles and nipped
possible rallies in the bud. Wyman
evidently has ceased to be an enigma
for the locals, nine hits having been
garnered off his delivery. Benedict,
Cornell and Nelson are each credited
with two safe bingles. Cornell was
robbed of a hit in the ninth by a nice
catch by Jordan in deep center.

MUST REPLACE
PRESENT BOISE
RIVER BRIDGE
Structure Near Caldwell
Can Last Only One
Year; Commissioners
to Outline Plan.

That the wagon bridge across the
Boise river north of Caldwell will
not be safe for general use for more
than another year, is the assertion
of Canyon county commissioners.
Immediate steps must be taken to
replace the structure, according to
c. Ben Ross. To that end, a meet
ing of Caldwell business men, in
terested in good roads and bridges.
has been called for Tuesday evening
at the Commercial club rooms where
Mr.. Ross will outline plan for the
construction of new bridge.
Orders are now pending compell-
ing drivers of heavy oil tank trucks
and other similar vehicles to cross
the river at Notus and come to Cald-
well on the south side of the river
in order to relieve the heavy and
continuous traffic to which the bridge
is subjected.
Already, theb ridge has been rein
forced at least once by the addition
of heavy timbers and steps are now
being taken to have the county road
gang, Immediately upon completion
of the present work on the Parma
road, to give the bridge another
thorough overhauling. Braces will
be placed under the bridge between
spans but even this is not expected
to prove sufficient to warrant con-
tinued use of the structure under
existing traffic conditions. 1t is
pointed out that the bridge was orig
inally designed for wagon traffic
The use of automobiles has SO in
creased the burden placed on the
structure that the time is now rare
when at least one passenger car or
truck is not using the bridge.
Likelihood that bond issue would
not carry and the present condition Of
the bond market in the event the
county should vote bonds to build
the bridge have led Mr.. Ross to de-
wise a different plan of financing the
structure which will bep laced before
local business men at the Tuesday
evening meeting. 1t is to get thu
sanction and support of representa-
tive interested person before pro-
ceeding with the plan that the meet
ing has been called.
