ROAD BILL
PASSED HOUSE
BILL APPROPRIATES $4,000
FOR ROAD TO RIVER
PASSED BY BIG VOTE

An appropriation bill, intro
duced by Representative Lloyd
Fem, of Kooskia, Idaho counties
representative in the lower
house of the legislature, carry
ing with it an appropriation of
$25, 900 for the construction of a
wagon road from Grave Creek to
Cottonwood passed the lower
house of the state legislature by
an overwhelming vote of Id to
81 last Friday afternoon. The
bill as introduced, and passed by
the house of representatives
places the money to be spent
under the supervision of the
Fem, Keuterville and Joseph
highway commissioners, who
are to spend the money as they
best see fit, and in no way will
the state highway have any con-
troll over the $4,000. The news
of the passing of a bill was re-
ceived with great JOY in Cotton
wood Saturday morning.
The bill now is up to the SEN
ate and hopes are entertained
that Senator Jones will be able
to obtain the same results as
those accomplished by Represen-
tative Fem.
The road to be built with the
$4,000 appropriation, should it
pass, will connect with a road
now nearing completion and be-
ing built by the Joseph highway
district. The Joseph people are
at the present time working on
their road and have only three
miles more to build in order to
complete their road to the river.
These people voted a 100000
bond issue and after spending
$4,000 for road equipment had
the remainder of the bond issue
TO build a road from Joseph
Plains to the river. AT the
present time they have S11, 1000
in their treasury to complete the
three miles of road left to con-
struct and with the costliest part
of the highway completed can
easily finish the work with the
remainder of the money and per-
haps have a small surplus re-
naming. They are at the pre-
sent time working 18 men whom
they pay $3.50 a day. They ex-
pect to travel over the newly
constructed highway with wag-
ons within the next so days.
Many people who have seen
this road claim that the Joseph
highway has received more real
road values for the money spent
than any district in the state OF
Idaho, which certainly speaks
well for those at the head of the
work.

SAWDUST SIDEWALK.

Did you ever see or walk on a
sawdust sidewalk? Many no
doubt in the early days had the
pleasure, if you care to call it
such to place one foot on an iron
railing and the other one on a
sawdust floor but few perhaps
have had the privilege to walk
on a sawdust sidewalk for any
great distance. Cottonwood soon
will have a sawdust sidewalk
leading from its city limits to the
Felix MartZen and Gus Seubert
farms. Those two gentlemen
plan to construct such a sidewalk
in the near future.

 Twenty years ago the Dodge broth- CTS were journeymen machinists in Michigan. About that time they went to Detroit and started a shop with II men.

A million a year for one brother was the result of this business move.

Public Sympathy Is
 With Admiral Sims

7T1HE farewell given to Admiral
 U Sims on his departure from England yesterday leaves little doubt of the way English people feel toward this plain-speaking American. Admiral Sims is popu- lar in England, not only because he is pro- British in his sympathies, but because he is gallant naval of f1cer who distinguished himself in the World war. The British always admire the type of man who says what he thinks and stands by his convictions. Incidentally, the American people do likewise.
 Admiral Sims has by no means offended the bulk of the American people by his remarks "hy- phenated" Americans. He may have committed breach of propriety in saying as much as he did, in the cir cumstances, but the Harding admin istration realizes that it won't do to make an example of Sims. When the reports of his alleged speech in London first reached Washington there was stir in official circles and it looked as if he might be sum- marily dealt with, but it isn't likely that anything. further will be done to humiliate the admiral, who is se- curely entrenched in the favor of the navy personnel and will not lack defenders in the United States if any defense is needed.
 Admiral Sims was called home and his leave of absence revoked. That in itself constitutes repri- mand. If the republican administra- ton does more it will justly be charged with catering to the "hy- phenated" vote in the United States. President Harding received practically the solid support of the 'hyphenates" in the presidential election. Possibly that is one fea- ture of the campaign that he would like to tosforget.
 This. country is weary of "hy- phenism" and all it's works. Ad- miral Sims told the truth in Lon don, as he has done on previous oc- casions in America, and in his book. It was the truth that hurt.
