Probably be Started this fall.

verts, A. II. Christensen immediately
came forward and promised that he
would personally see that the cul-
yerts were put in, ven though he
might have to stand the expense per-
sOnally. He also made good his
promise and we like to call attention
to the fact that the %culverts are be-
ing put in and put in right. paddy
Rasmussen, one of Mr.. C~hristensen's
former railroad grade men. is out on
the job and every culvert crossing is
finished up as though it we're a rail-
way grade subject to inspection of
an engineer in charge. The culverts
are being placed a reasonable depth
in the ground with drain burrows
leading from the lower end so that
they will do some good.
The work of putting in the culverts
and finishing the grade aver them
is going to cost considerable money,
a rather heavy load for one man TO
carry. but we can hardly conceive the
idea that Snake River people will
stand for any such a final plan as
that. We feel sure that some of
the business men at least, will. come
forward and divide up the cost a
little. A real highway such as the

for Craig and other towns of the

occasion to get out over the Wyo-

travelling e that road to and from

and they should be glad to merely
contribute a small amount of money
when someone else has the ambition
and the courage to take the lead to
the extent that Mr.. Christensen has.
The State Highway department is
grading up a real road and doing it
as we'll as it can be done. Mr..
Christensen is putting in the ~culverts
and doing that absolutely as we'll as
it can be done. Both are to be con-
graduated for promises fulfilled and
