BIG PROGRAM Of
ROAD BUILDING
DISTRICT NO. : WILL COMPLETE
VIOLA ROAD; 100000 AVAlL
ABLE THIS YEAR

With 100000 available, the highway
commissioners for state highway dis
trlct No. 2, comprising the territory
surrounding this city, will carry out
comprehensive program of road con-
struction and road improvement, ac
cOrdlng to statement made to The
Star-Mirror by G. P. Mix, chairman
of the board of commissioners. A
number of separate projects are plan
ned and work is already under way
on most of these. While the roads
will not be in satisfactory condition
much of the summer, because of the
construction the district will, in the
final analysis, have an excellent sys-
tenn of roads.
Complete Viola-MOscOw Road
Perhaps the most important piece
of work in the district this season is
the completing of the stretch of the
North and South highway between
Viola, and Moscow, beginning at the
top of Moscow mountain. Five miles
of this nine-mile stretch of highway
was graded last year and the other
four miles, from the Moscow city linn
its north, will be graded this season
and the entire distance surfaced The
grading will be done by contract,
contract having been let to j. H. Dew
lin for the first two miles and to
Charles Ayers for the second two
miles. 1t is expected that the grading
will be completed soon after the first
of July and that the surfacing will be
completed before the end of the sum-
mer. A crew of men is now at work
surfac cling the road down this side of
the mountain.
With the completion of the road be-
tween Moscow and Viola, the North
and South highway will be practically
completed from Grangeville to Viola,
distance of about one hundred miles.
A crew Of men is at work grading
the road out by the G. ]. Munson
farm, east of town, to the edge of the
district. A stretch of two miles on
the Lenville road, southeast of the
city, over the divide, will be complet-
ed A crew will begin work on this
road next week
The mile of road required to make
the connection on the Moscow-Blaine
road will be built this year and the
North Main street road, from the city
limits north a distance of two miles,
to the highway, will be graded 1t is
possible, also, that the Orchard ave-
nue. road, for distance of two miles,
may be graded this year.
A short cut will be graded from the
North and South highway, near Viola,
to Thatuna Academy, where there is
a thickly settled district, which is
more or less isolated, under present
road conditions
Mr.. Mix informs The Star-Mirror
that the district is prepared at any
time to build connection with the
Pullman road from Moscow to the
state line 1t is expected that the
Pullman road, in Whitman county,
will be built during the present year,
but there is no assurance as to the
route that will be selected
The Moscow-Joel road, which is a
part of the Moscow-Bovill highway, is
4 secondary state road, and it is nee
essary to await legislative appro-
Drfation before anything further can
De done on this important piece Of
-oad.

CIRCUS ATTRACTS
BIG MOSCOW CROWD
TODAY is GALA DAY FOR YOUNG
STERS-PARADE FEATURES
WILD ANIMALS

Today was a gala day for the young
sters in Moscow and the grownups
seemed to enjoy the visitation of the
circus just as much, but less exuber
antly than the more easily enthralled
youngsters, for the Al G. Barnes four
ring wild animal show arrived here
today with the usual street parade and
afternoon and evening performances.
Crowds thronged Main street short
ly after 10 o'clock this morning, auto
mobiles lined the street, and the Mos
COW kids" put on a show for them
selves in waiting for the first blast
of trumpets, heralding the big pro-
cessional. College boys furnished
amusement with good natured at
tempts to fluster the non-impression-
able members of the circus profess
sion
COllegians See Parade
Attempts to attract the attention of
the be-spangled riders on the part Of
the "out for good time college un-
dergraduates brought forth a good
natured grin here and there. Circus
people as general rule don't like
the college towns, but the university
students did nothing but furnish
amusement for themselves and even
the circus folks.
The parade in itself was good. Lead
off by four women riders carrying
long trumpets and ending up with the
caliope, the parade WAS just enough
"circusy" and mad just enough feat
ures to make It worth while. To the
every wagon was a won0cr
wagon and the reaction of the young
Il lks to the parade was the Joy Of the
older folks.
Tusko . Real Elephant
Tusko, the largest elephant in cap
tivity. leading 3 81 ring of seven 9TH
ers, was real feature and live up to
all expectations. Tusko in addition
to being gigantic Rz1iaMal carries
two long tusks, something seldom
seen in circus elephant. The wild
animals, cage after cage Of lions,
tigers, and all kinds Of bears, upheld
the reputation Of AL G. Barnes as
collector of wild animals.
Crowds flocked to the grounds at
the Fairgrounds where the sbig top"
and the rest of the tents made quite
a little city. The first cars of the
circus arrived in Moscow around 1880
this morning and the circus work
men were surrounded at all times by
many admiring youngsters despite
the threatening weather.
All told, the parade was good and
the big circus lived up to all expec-
tatiOns. The afternoon crowd at the
o'clock performance was good, TAX
ing into consideration the weather
and from advance indications an eq-
ually large crowd will watch the ev-
ening show, starting at o'clock.

NOTICE 10 stBSCRIBEEs:
SUNDAY AFTERNOON WALKS.

Some customs and institutions pass away SO
swiftly and completely that a succeeding gen
grafton can scarcely realize to what extent such
custom was once prevalent and how much it
meant to the generation that came before.
The boys and girls and young men and
women who live in our large cities can not ap-
oreciate how much the pastime known as the
ounday afternoon walk once meant to people
Who are now along in years. This diversion is
lot to be compared to what is known as nix
ng; the Sunday afternoon walk was not so
strenuous and energetic as this latter day form
IF leg-exercise.
The modern hike expects some tangible re-
urns on his investment He is out for air and
exercise and he purposes to get them. Over hill
ind dale along the country road he stretches
lis legs and the more tired he gets the better he
likes it. Though he has no particular distinction
mind and sets no time limit on his perform
lnce, the modern hiker is none the less very
'usiness-ike person.
Not so the Sunday afternoon walker of a
generation or two ago. His was a leisurely pro-
eeding. He was in search neither of romantic
cenery nor of violent exercise. His performance
consisted of nothing more strenuous than an
unable ambling through parts of the city into
which he did not venture every day, or per-
laps his stroll took him a short way out into
he country. Thus accompanied by his loyal
pouse and followed or preceded by troupe of
rom two to four or five children he wended his
way in peace of mind Then home to the Sun
ay evening meal.
But it is gone, this custom. One by one
onditions changed as mechanical inventions
anne in to cut us off from this simple pleasure
he bicycle, the automobile. the motion picture
how. and the commercialized amusement park
all contributed to supplant the Sunday after
DON walk with something more hurried and
=verish than we had ever known before. We
ave become hot in pursuit of pleasure and
versions; we must be always going somewhere,
nd when we get there we must either be en-
srtained or hurry elsewhere.
