1t was decided that with what
money on hand and with the County
and State appropriations, to erect an
imperishable Memorial to those who
served and suffered In the war and
have public and permanent remind
er of their heroism and devotion to
duty.
idaho County was hard hit by the
war having lost thirty men more than
any other county In the state and near
ly 800 men were enlisted for service
OF the great number of tentative
designs submitted that would come
within the means of the County to
construct, a picture, or cut of which
is presented, appealed to those pre-
sent, and which has been most favor
ably endorsed by the public, is de-
sign of a Temple consisting of eight
Ionic columns supporting an Archi-
trave, dome. faced clock. with chimes.
In the frieze of the architrave there is
an inscription in raised letters In
side Of this temple is a granite block,
and having on its four sides tablets
to accommodate the names of the Honor
boys. names of those who have enlisted
and the names of the Spanish War
Veterans. To the left and right of this
temple. one of the large guns received
from the Government last year. This
temple setting to be surmounted by
either large bronz eagle or a dough-
hoy. -Four beautiful lamp standards
complete this unique and artistic de-
sign. The designer Of this received his
inspiration from the world famous
painting by Millet known as the "An-
gelus" The tolling of the monastery
bells suggested Chimes, these chimes
calling to all who hear them the
voices of our soldier boys, LEST we
forget, lest we forget"
A suggestion by a designer that
large sum could be saved by using
local material in its construction II
available and committee will be ap-
pointed to investigate this.
1t was the purpose of the late la
mented and deceased Commissioner
John Long to investigate this, just be-
fore his sudden demise Mr. Long lost
a son in the war and was very en-
thusiastic over this project and had
he lived would have been a factor in
it's construction. He had in mind look
ing into the material now being used
in the construction of the Convent and
sent board intend to carry out the same
investigation.
If this material can be utilized 1t
will be a great help and expedite the
construction in more economical man
ner.
At the meeting Of the Commissioners
and the Legion held on Tuesday more
complete and definite arrangements
and plans were formulated and will
he given publicity from time to time.
A special effort will be made to lay the
corner stone of this Memorial on the
fourth of July and If possible to dedi-
cate 1t with appropriate exercises on
November II, Armistice day.
In this connection we feel 1t would
not be out OF place to again publish the
names of our boys who made the su-
preme sacrifice as public memory is
short lived and prone to forget.
