VOLUME 81.
Over The County

Jullaetta Record: w. H. Mahon is
here this week making preparations
to start the canning plant about the
first of the week. There has been
a little delay IN starting the plant
owing to pears coming on a little
later than was expected. However,
they are about ready and Mr.. Mahon
expects to get the work started. He
expects to can some apples and a
few pruneS in addition to pears and
will employ about 20 people if he
can get them.
Troy News: The taxes for this
municipality are the highest of any
IN Latah county this year, with
Bovill, Desry and Moscow following
an the order named. Juliaetta has
the lowest assessment. The matter
of interest, however, is the dis
position of the money. The total
tax per 500 for Troy is $6.48, and
$3.50 OF this is for village expenses,
S1.72 for school tax, GA cents for
highway tax, 81 cents for state and
rs cents for county taxes. The
municipal expense item IS the high
est of any town in'the county, while
Moscow, Genesee, kendrick and
Deary have higher item of
school tax. The highway tax for
this village is among the lowest in
the county.
Deary Press: A. Wllmot of Kend-
rick proprietor of the lines which
supply electric enegy to the towns
,ot Troy, Kendrlck and luliaetta,
was in Deary, Wednesday, looking
over the town with the view OF lay
ing before the citizens proposition
to run his light and power wires
from Troy, a distance of l3 miles,
to this place. He was favorably
impressed with the prospect for
business here and outlined his
proposition to the village council
at an informal meeting called fol-
the purpose.
Within a few days it is expected
that the matter Will have assumed
tangible shape, and that some defin
ite statement concerning it can be
made. Mr.. Wilmot's activities il
the towns mentioned have beer
successful. He is rendering goot
service at very reasonable rate.
Genesee News: There is still mucl
agitation going on for an "Al
Idaho" road from Genesee to Lewis
ton which will eliminate the half
mile section over IN Washington.
This is as it should be. 1t the oa
is built it should be built within
the state. Washington has no in
terest in this small piece OF roa
and it is hardly probable that the
will ever build 1T regardless OF tn
fact that repeated promises to DO S
have been made. An all Idaho roa
would guarantee a great deal NOR
travel over the north and south roa
throuh Genesee, Moscow and on
the north, thence to Spokane.
would give the tourist much fine
scenery and would save them se'
,eral miles travel - consequent
much time and gas.
The ruad, as proposed, can vel
easily be built, and while 1t wou
cost a few dollars more, the fac
that the road is to be built IN ldat
makes 1t worth the price -especia
iy since the Washington people {
not seem to care whether the Idat
travellers come their way or not.
Let's all boost for an Gall Idaho
road north and southland ther
by allow Idaho travellers to trav
in a state that really appreclat
them and wants them. Let's go!
Since the above was put in ty
word has been received from Lew
ton to the effect that they we
ready to begin work on putting t
missing link" in passabIe &C
.dItlon for this winter by putt
some 500 wards of rock on it a
that Genesee and Rlmrock distri'
are asked to raise S400 as the
share of the expense.
