spelling contest, held at the high
school building Saturday, and con-
Quoted by Miss Lillian Skattaboe,
attracted contestants from almost
every school district IN the county.
Failure to have representatives, on
the part OF few districts, was due
to the road conditions, making it
impossible for the young people to
reach Moscow. The contest was in
every respect success, district con-
tests having been held IN each dis
trict IN the county to select repre-
sentatlves for the county contest.

There seems to be strong sentl
ment in favor CT building the state
road thl ougth this district this sea-
son. 1t is argued that with th'
? main trunk road through the dis
tr,ct located and opened for travel
the building of laterals or feeder
could be undertaken with create
assurance of permanent and salts
factory results. 1t would hardly b.
practicable for the district to un
dertake, without state aid, to bull
and surface the state road, but tn
.cltizens who have discussed the mat
ter IN our hearing believe it shout
be located, graded and opened TO
travel this season. Such an under
taking would necessitate the sale O
another block of bonds. This year
taxes will raise $12, ,718.42- enoug
for ordinary repair work, change:
etc., but not for any extensive roa
building program,

the average sale of the tour prece
