A THE annual meeting of the
~ Shoshone County Good Roads
I association in the parIor of
the Samuels hotel Tuesday
evening, NJ. II. Sullivan, of Kellogg,
was reelected president Mr. SuIIi-
van protested against this action, but
finally submitted to the unanimous
vote OF the meeting Mr.. Sullivan ex-
planned that his reason for desiring to
retire was not through lack of inter
est in the work of the organization;
quite the contrary. He pointed to the
small attendance at the meeting, and
to the total membership of only 118
m the county. II was evident, he said,
that something was wrong with the
good roads association, ana his idea
in retiring from the presidency was
based upon the belief that if the or
ganizatiOn had a new head it would
probably result in arousing greater
interest in the work and greatly in
crease the number of members. He
felt that considering the population of
the county, about 1900, the good
roads association should at least have
double the present membership The
meeting, however having expressed
its unanimous desire to have him
serve another year, Mr.. Sullivan con-
scnted and expressed the hope that
steps would be taken to increase the
membership and generally awaken
public interest in the work of the as

Snow on Summit.
Gus Ellars. who had been engaged
in an attempt to open the road across
the Idaho Montana summit, reported
progress. He and two other men were
sent up by the county while the state
supplied them with INT
with which to loosen the snow. the
idea being that the air would cause
it to melt rapidly. Mr. Ellars stated
that he had shot the snow at in
tervals Of about Is feet; that it broke
to the ground without damage to the
roadway and by breaking up the snow
for radius of about u feet around
each hole the melting process would
be facilitated. However, he was not
overly optimistic regarding the out
come. He said he had used about 500
pounds of INT and he estimated
that he would require at least 500
pounds additional to complete the
Job, the distance being about three
miles, which the executive committee
was authorized to provide.
While there is no doubt that these
Efforts will assist in opening the
road it was the opinion that the time
required would be too long. For this
reason it was ordered that bids be
invited to remove the snow, these to
be filed with T. E. Stone, secretary,
and referred by him to the county
Airplane Service.
Secretary Stone read a letter from
the Yellowstone Aerial Route associ-
alton Of Miles City which proposes
TO establish air service between Chi
oago and Seattle, and invited the
good roads association to take mem
oership and provide a landing field.
He said the board of trade had al
ready taken a membership.
T. p. Wormward of Kellogg, said
that Kellogg was preparing a landing
place and felt sure that that city
would take a membership in the pro-
posed aerial route. He referred to
the growing Importance of Kellogg
and the friendly rivalry that existed
in that city toward Wallace He did
not believe there was any ground for
the prejudice that had existed due to
The fact that the larger business af-
fairs of the district had heretofore
come to Wallace. Kellogg had now
advanced ahead of Wallace in popu-
ation, according to the last census,
