Engineer Spedden and party
finished their preliminary sur
vey of the Grave Creek road
Thursday and secured a fine
grade with easy construction
from the Triplett place down in
to the canyon of Grave creek,
which no doubt will be welcome
news for people across the river.
Some years ago, at the time the
state and county appropriated
100000 for the road down the
creek, a survey was made to get
the distance and TO get a general
idea of the practicability of
making a road there but no
grades were taken and neither
was survey made from the
creek to the top of the hills.
The present survey was started
in Rocky Canyon at the mouth
of Grave creek, thence up the
creek along the route of the pre-
sent road to point where the
trail or cutoff leaves the creek
upthrough the John Hanley
place, topping out at the former
Baune ranch now owned by jim
Triplett. The distance from
the mouth of Grave creek to
where this trail leaves the creek
was found to be little over
three and three quarter miles,
and from the creek to the top Of
the hill near TriplettS house 4
little over one and one-half miles
That part of the road down the
creek would have the heaviest
grades and in some places con-
siderable difficulty might be eX-
perienced to keep it down to )
per cent but from the creek up
no trouble whatever was expert
enced to pet out on a five per-
cent grade along a route where
construction will be compare
lively easy no solid rock bluffs
having been encountered and
neither are the slopes of the hill
so steep that very deep cut
would be necessary to secure
width for a road bed. The Keut-
ervil'e Highway commissioners,
Mr.. Luchtefeld and Mr.. Jungert
accompanied by w. B. Hussman
and John Peterson made an in
spection of the route after the
survey had been completed and
all apreed that the route was d
practical one and the best OBJ
tainable.
Mr.. Spedden cXpressed HIM
self as firmly convinced that the
water coming down the creek in
the spring of year would not

WHEAT GROWERS
TO SELL BONDS
PLAN S500.000 ISSUE BASED
ON WAREHOUSE RECEIPTS
FOR 100000 BUSHELS.

A half million dollars worth
of wheat gold bonds, security
for which will be warehouse re-
ceipts for wheat, will be placed
on the market by the joint ac-
tion of the Washington and Ida
no directors of the wheat grow
ers' association, it was announc-
ed at Spokane Monday.
The wheat gold bonds will be
in denominations of $3.50, $500
and $1,000 and will bear interest
at the rate of 8 per cent, matur-
ing June |, 1921. The associa-
ton reserves the right to redeem
any part of the bonds at any
time after 80 days at the face
value with accrued interest and
a bonus of one-half Of l per cent
for each month of the unexpire'l
time.
AS security for the bonds
warehouse receipts for 100000
bushels of wheat, or one bushel
of wheat for each dollar invest
ed in the bonds, will be deposited
with trustee. The wheat will
lie covered by insurance against
fire loss. After certification by
the trustee the bonds will be
placed on sale and funds obtain
ed will be apportioLed among
members of the association in
accordance with their wheat
stored.
THE bonds will be sold strict
ly as a good business investment
for the purchaser" said George
c. Jewett, general manager Of
the Washington and Idaho
Wheat Growers ASSOCIATE n.
"Of course it is an opportunity
for the investor without risking
his own money to help the wheat
industry of the state and the
farmers. We have made these
bonds so attractive that they
should appeal to the purchaser.
We aren't placing any limit on
the purchase of the bonds.
"The wheat which secures the
bonds will he ample, since it will
lie well insured and with suffici-
ent surplus to cover any possible
drop in price. As we market
the wheat the bonds will be TAX
en- up with a good bonus to the
purchaser if prior to maturity.
Thus any bonds redeemed at the
end of the 30-dav period would
lear interest at the rate of 11la
per cent per annum."
A large number of farmers in
this section are members of the
Idaho Wheat Growers associa-
tion and the above item will be
of great interest to them.

 The commission in a special report to the Senate, in response to a resolution ordering an inquiry, asserted that dur ing 1916-191S, inclusive, more than 200 concerns manufacturing farm imple- ments had combined to fix prices higher than the increased cost of manufacture and materials and that the dealers cooperating had made To- cal agreements supporting the prac- tices, all of which the commission al- legged to be in restraint of trade.
 The International Harvester com pany, the report said, did not center the association" activities relative to price fixing on harvesting machinery, but did so enter as to other imple- ments produced.''
 The trade organizations against which court proceedings were recom- mended are the National Implement ana vehicle association, the Southern Association of Wagon Manufacturers the Carriage Builders National associa- tion' all organizations of manufac- turers and the National Association of Implement and Vehicle Dealers. re- tailers, associations

CLYDE FITCH PLAY BILLIE
 RURKE'S NEWEST VEHICLE

The late Clyde Fitch undoubtedly was one of the most successful playwrights of his day. One of his most popular comedies was ''The F'risky Mrs. John son." and it enjoyed long run in New York. This play has been picturized by Paramount with dainty Billie Burke as the star, and is showing today at the Strand theatre.
 Miss Burke is delightfully."- cast in this picture. She is a gay, charming Amer can widow in Paris and wins the repp- tation of being "frisky" because she IS rr erely unconventional.
