WE MUST HAVE BETTER ROADS.

WE MUST HAVE BETTER ROADS
The recent heavy rains have shown
again the absolute necessity of hav-
ing better highways in Latah county
The past five months have been un-
unusually wet and the result has been
that the roads have been impossible
in many places for a good portion OF
that time. The roads are not all bad,
nor is any road bad for its entire
length, but all roads have some bad
spots in them and. the wet weather has
given a splendid opportunity to locate
these worst spots, which, if repaired
as they can be, would give fairly good
roads for the greater part of the
season.
1t is not going to be necessary to
build all hard surfaced roads. That
would be impossible. 1t would take
too large a portion of the taxable
wealth of Latah county to do this.
But good roads can be built without
being hard surfaced and at a very
small per cent of the cost of hard
surfaced roads
There are long sections of road in
the Princetown- Harvard district that
can be graded and graveled for $1,000
per mile, and make good roads for al
most the entire year" said j. e. john
son, of Harvard 1T will cost from
$4,000 to $4,000 a mile to hard sur
face these roads, but they can be
well graded and graveled for $1,000
per mile and we can build from 10 to
IL miles of this kind of road which
will satisfy the people of the district,
for the cost of one mile of the hard
surfaced road The gravel is there
and it will need to be hauled only
from few rods to one mile. If
something is not done to improve
these roads this summer it will be
impossible to travel over some of
them on horse back next winter
What Mr.. Johnson says of his dis
trict is true of many districts in
Latah county. Intelligent work in i'm
proving bad spots from a few feet to
a few rods in length during this
summer, will mean fairly good roads
for the entire length of the road next
winter.
Every highway or road district
should take this matter up now and
insist upon culverts being put in
where needed low places raised and
graded to give proper drainage and .
all of the worst spots improved before !
the wet season begins next fall.

Too ooos . Chance TO Lose

The French chancellor, Henri Fran
co.'s d'Aguesseau, to whom his native
country owes much for his enduring
improvements in its legal conditions,
never would come to decision with
out at first mutely examining and
questioning everything bearing on the
matter His son, who was also law
yer. was exactly the opposite, and
moreover, paid no attention to his
fathers excellent example.
One day, during a heated argument
between the two, the young man, who
expected to give his father sharp
thrust, said sarcastically, ''My dear
father, you know everything but de-
eide about nothing"
"And you, my son. know nothing
but decide about everything" was
the quick reply.

Fish Caught in Dry Dock It s.lbo.


When the gates of the dry dock at
Balboa are opened for the docking of
vessel number of fish usually
swim in; and when the dock is pump
ed out they are left stranded on the
floor, as only small ones can go
through the grating over the pump
intakes. Those which are edible are
usually gathered by the men at the
dock, and the inedible ones are
thrown cut.
During recent docking a school of
fish swan in. When the dock was
unwatered the floor was covered with
them. In addition to those which
the men took, and some $50 pounds
taken by the Commissary Division,
between 2 and 3 tons were dumped
over the gates into the open sea.
They were scooped into large buckets
which were swung up over the gates
by crane operating from the side
wall of the dock. Most of them re-
covered and swan away. The Com
missary Division realized 400 pounds
of cleaned fish, which were sold as
second grade stock at IL cents a
pound.

Auto Record Broken

On Wednesday afternoon two Ford
cars came over Cochetopa Pass driven
by A. J. Milford and Arthur Tabor,
of Alliance, Nebraska, and Otis Bris-
coe. of Lincoln, Kansas. The first
two left Alliance on February 26th
and had little trouble or bad reads
till they reached Cochetopa Pass.
Here they were caught up with by
Mr.. Briscoe, who it turned out was
an o'd boyhood friend of Mr.. Milford.
Together they started on .and soon
Mr.. Briscoe ran his car off the grade
turning over couple of times and
sustaining severe injuries to his per-
son. A bad cut on the head, several
broken ribs and minor injuries were
his lot. All are ex-service boys and
they had first aid kit which was put
to work and then the injured man
was taken to Saguache and given
treatment.
On being fixed up he was able to
continue on his way and they all
reached this place without, further
miShap.
The Nebraska boys are out seeking
land and will go on to the Naturita
country as soon as they can get over
Blue Mesa, while Mr. Briscoe will re-
main here till he recuperates from
his injury.
Without question the boys busted
the record on early making of the
pass and they are all proud of the

FIRST VACATION IN 16 YEARS
Ill Health Forces John w. Aiken to
Take Rest.

For the first time in sixteen years,
John w. Allen, night Waterman of the
residence district south of the state
house. is to take vacation. And even
now his rest has been forced upon him
| by i'll health. r
A severe attack of rheumatism in
his feet, which has troubled him for
the last four months. is the cause of
Aliens decision to take a vacations. He
will remain in Topeka for a time and
if his health does not improve he will
go to Marlin Springs, Tex. Eventually,
however, he will return to the beat
which he has patro1led faithfully every
night for the last sixteen years, with
the exception of a little more than
three weeks.
There are only two occasions on
which Allen has been absent from his
work during that time. The first was
May 10 to IL, 1919, when his wife
died. The other was a period of three
weeks following injuries he received
September Z, 1920, when he was
struck by an automobile driven by
Fred A. Whitton.
Allen came to Topeka thirty-nine
years ago. In 1884 he started his
ment, at the time when Bradford
Miller was mayor. He has held a
commission under every mayor since
that time down to the present admin
istration. with the exception of Mayor
r. L. Cofran and Mayor W. S. Ber-

he held a deputy sheriff's commission.

PICKS ON.KANSAS
TOwnley Has Cleaned Up in
North Dakota, LANCER Says.
He Now Selects This State to
Get Big Money.

''Townley and the Nonpartisan
league have MIXED North Dakota
farmers dry of money, and now they
have selected Kansas as the place next
pest for finding large punches of suck
ers.''
This statement was made at the
Chamber of Commerce this noon by
William LANCER. former attorney gen.
eral of North Dakota, the home and
birthplace of the Nonpartisan league.
DDS thru which Townley and his
satellites and organizers have gained
and are holding control of the political
and financial life of North Dakota. He
branded the league as the enemy of
the farmers which is afraid to come
out in the open with a definite pro-
gram. He declared that the practice
of the League is to ''tie the farmer up
with an investment of eighteen dollars
in League membership and then
leave it to him to back up his money
with his vote" LANCER said the theory
had proved entirely true in North Da-
kota and stated that the farmers of
that state have voted almost as a unit
their state.
He Challenges Townley.
LANCER issued a direct challenge to
a G. Townleys for a. debate. He de-
: clared himself ready and anxious to
> meet the NonPartisan league head on
any platform, anywhere, but he de-
clined to debate on any subject with
any lesser person than Townley him
sseIf. He expressed the belief that
s-'Townley lacks the courage to accept
the challenge"
At the beginning of his talk, Ian
sger definitely linked up Townley and
the high officials of the Nonpartisan
E1eague as I. w. w. members them
tselY,s or close associates and allies, of
sthe I. w. w. theory. He branded
sthem all as Socialists of the radical
sand revolutionary type. including in
sthis category almost every North Da-
fkota state or county official.
4 He spoke of the financial situation
Sin North Dakota, touching especially
on the fact that the Townley created
estate bank of North Dakota can not
ssell it's paper to banks in any other
Estates and declared that thru the
manipulation of this institution and
fthe powers given it by Townley con-
.trolled legislature that North Dakota
Estate bonds are not worth the paper
they e/printed on anywhere outside
sthe state boundaries of North Dakota.
Land Tax Was Increased.
! LANCER showed how the tax on land
has increased almost 900 per cent I'M
der the laws made by the Townley
legislatures. He cited particularly the
ecase of one farmer who in 1918 paid
la land tax of approximately 5000 and
fwho in 1919, under Townley inspired
AJAX laws, was formed TO pay land TAX
