Gossip About
Road Building
Continued from page one

and in that event we would report it
to our readers.
We have been keeping our chief
sleuth on the lookout ever since, re-
porting the progress of the work.
When we got hold of any interesting
gossip regarding road work we have
recited it to the public. We keep
pumping these fellows about road
work in season and out of season,
when they are feeling good and
think they have everything coming
as it should, and again we pump
them when they are feeling blue and
afraid things are all going to the
dickens. BY watching their work
and remembering everything we see
and hear, we make pretty good
guess as to which way they are
headed and where they will get off,
That Riverside Road
The road from Blackfoot west
thru Riverside via the Snake river
bridge has the heaviest travel, and
they had that torn up the longest.
Mr. Van Akin, who lives just west
Of the end of the bridge, kept sweet
all summer notwithstanding the fact
that they had his outlet to the
bridge torn up from the sixth of June
till about Thanksgiving time, and he
said he had to travel three for one
on his way to town, which was only
a sample of what the whole string
of farmers were up against for
months. They had a fleet of motor
trucks hauling clay one way and
gravel the other, and they wore out
all the parallel roads buildings the
thru line and yet could not seem to
finish.
Farmers Helped Us
Our sleuth man explained what
Superintendent Stone told him about
the elevator being overworked on
the crusher-loader east Of Riverside
and that it was not thought advisable
to rebuild it after it collapsed. Then
they had to haul gravel from the
next crusher-loader plant west Of
Riverside to coat the grade all the
way to Snake river bridge and the
city limits. Some of the farmers de-
clared they could have made a
checker board and figured out better
plans for operating the motor trucks
and not have the job last forever.
I. A. Starkweather looked wise and
said he never saw such road making
in his life, but he had only lived part
of century. J. H. Augustine, who
owned the land where the first
crusher plant stood, didn't say much,
but he said it wasn't hardly right.
He isD one of these sweet-tempered
fellows who doesn't want to say too
much.
