GOOD ROADS BOOSTERS
WANT HIGHWAY FINISHED
Committee Named to Investigate
Status of PalOuSC- Pullman Road
and Outline Plan of
Campaign

Pullman good roads advocates are
waxing wrathy. That missing link
in the eastern division Of the Inland
Empire highway, Palouse to Pullman
which has been "builded' on promises
and reiterated promises for the past
> years is still only a promise and
as far from realization as at any
time in that u year period Road
matters were discussed at the cham-
ber of commerce meeting TUESDAY
and the Pullman-Palouse highway
bore the brunt Of the attack at the
hands of the disgruntled good roads
enthusiasts. Last year the state leg
islature appropriated a sum of mo-
ney to improve the Palouse-P Pullman
link. Two or three surveys We're
made by large crews Of engineers
and their helpers and it is claimed
that the balance of the money appro-
priated by the Legislature was then
transferred to the Central Ferry
bridge fund,
Prospects for getting another leg
islatiye appropriation for the same
road are considered remote and it
Is believed that if the highway is
constructed it must be by county
funds. with hope for federal assist
ance Meantime, Pullman is not
touched by a state road, and Union
town. Cotton Lewiston and Pomeroy
suffer the loss Of tourist travel
which is routed via Central Ferry
rather than over the scenic Lewiston
hill highway.
At the close OF the discussion
committee Of five, including J. n.
Emerson, Dr. E. A Archer ", l..
Greenawalt +. =. Barnard and +. C..
Forrest was appointed to investigate
the present status Of the proposed
connectiue link in the eastern dlyl-
sion and outline program intended
to secure the Improvement at the
earliest possible date other towns
interested in the highway are eX-
pected to help boost the program.

CRUCIFIXION" AGAIN
PACKS GRAND THEATRE
Hundreds Gather to Hear Second
Rendition of Sacred Cantata--
COlfax Well Pleased

Another capacity house greeted
the choir of the Federated church in
its second rendition of John Stainers S
sacred cantana, THE crucfixion," at
the Grand theatre last Sunday even
ing. The second rendition was even
more finished than the first and the

tive audience and the Colfax Gazette

story of the musical event:
John Stainer's splendid cantata

understanding Of the difficult COM
position which assured the success
OF the rendition from the opening

a result of the findings of the state
supreme court in the appeal carried
up from the Spokane superior court.
which had awarded Mrs Ruth Howe
of Spokane that amount as the re-
suit OF the death Of her husband in
an automobile accident near Steptoe
in March, 1921. The verdict of the
Spokane court was reversed by the
supreme court following the presen-
tation of argument and filing of
briefs by the attorneys for both par
ties. Judge Thomas Neill Of Pull
man was special counsel for Whit
man county in the case and carried
the case to the higher court follow
ing the findings OF the jury in the
Spokane trial

husband was riding struck a defect
in the road and tipped over, her hus-
band receiving injuries from which
he later died She claimed criminal
negligence on the part of the county
for not keeping the highway in bet
ter repair. Counsel for Whitman
county maintained that negligence on
the part of the driver was responsi-
bic for the accident. The case was
tried in Spokane last May and the
jury awarded the full amount sued
for.

The South Seas Barrie

~ EAR SIR: What problem, this
b of Sir James Barrie's! Here
all these years he has been try
ing to write pays that were direct and
lucid, and people will insist upon see
ing in them the whimsical and the
elusive! Even when the eminent Scot
was the guest of the Critics Circle, in
London, a few evenings ago, no less
a person than Mr.. Walkley, of "The
Times" arose to remark upon the
whimsicaiity and elusiveness of the
Barrie creations. This was too much,
and the father of Peter Pan, Mary Rose
and host of others of dear memory
stood up and spoke his mind.
A few weeks previous Sir James, in
speaking at st. Andrews, had sought
to escape respons Utilities for this same
charge of elfn prankishness by de-
claring that his other self, one Nc
Connachie, was to blanca delicious
bit of fooling quite Barriesque. But
now Sir James has quite surpassed
himself in the realm of delightful
whimsy by drawing for his journals
tic audience picture of a magic ISL
and. Fancy Barrie, in his best form,
on such subject!
1t is remote retreat that he paints.
1t is called Typee, and there he dwells
