ROAD MONEY
APPROPRIATED
ALL0TMENTS MADE TO STATE
PROJECTS AT MEETING HELD
in BOISE TUESDAY
BOUNDARY FOLKS NOT SATISFIED
Urge Highway Department To Consid-
er Bonners Ferry -Eastport Road.

According to a dispatch from Boise
dated April IL, final disposition of
federal road money to be expended
in Idaho this year, has been made,
and an appropriation of $4,000 has
been allotted for the Bonners Ferry
Leonia road but no mention is made
of the $4,000 which had been prom
ised for the Bonners Ferry -Eastport
road by way of Copeland and Round
Prairie.
The road money appropriated thus
far is from forest highway funds and
Section funds and it is possible that
the Bonners Ferry -Eastport road will
yet be taken care of from funds at
the disposal of the forest reserve de-
partment.
The Boise dispatch reads as fol-
lows:
AT the conclusion of the confer
ence between state and federal high
way and forest officials today re-
gerding the allotments of federal
funds to road construction within and
partly within national forests in Ida
no almost complete harmony had been
reached A program covering 10 pro-
jects had been agreed upon and an
other rests only on determination of
the source of funds.
Difference of opinion arose be-
tween state and federal officials as
to whether the Lewis and Clark-Lolo
Pass road should be constructed with
money from the forest highway or
forest development fund. The total
sum for this work is S250,000. The
forestry officials desire. to apply it
all from the forest highway fund,
while the state officials recommend
that 100000 of the amount shall
come from the forest development
fund.
"On other matters, up to the total
sum from the various funds, there
was accord between the state and
federal officials.
Following is the list of projects
agreed upon, with their estimated
costs:

spoke only 'as an individual, Mr.
Hooper's statement said, in part:
Demands Held Too High.
"a wage award which would crush
the railroads would ruin their en-
ployes.
"a wage award which would create
an enormous deficit in every railway
treasury would necessitate the impo-
sition of higher freight rates on the
farmers. producers and shippers of

the Labor Board called for i2 to

The Ruined Life

The pencil falters in my hand as
proceed to tell of Abner Lushington
LeGrand, who's in a padded cell. l
knew him in his younger years,
when he was blithe and gay, and
Joyous as yoke of steers he caroled
On his way. In paths obscure he
plugged along, and gained small
reward. and life was all a grand
sweet song without a minor chord.
At last by chance he conquered
fame. and great was his renown. and
all the snapshot artists came from
every part of town. They snapped
him when he sat to eat his shredded
bran repast. they shot his hat. they
shot his feet and made him Stand
aghast. He couldn't cough or swear
or sneeze but snapshot fans were
there; they snapped the spavins on
his knees, the sandburs in his hair.
He couldn't dodge the fatal lens, it
got his every act. and, madden than
nine setting hens. he felt his brain
contract. The snapshot hends SO
stirred his wrath he tore his beard
and wept; they gor him coming from
the bath, they got him when he
slept. And then his mind gave way,
twas clear. his dome was on the
blink; he had to shift to second gear
when he would try to think. An, it
would make ones bosom bleed to
see HIM sunk SO low; and still the
snapshot hends proceed. and picture
as they go.

GOOD IN MEXICO,
SHEPHERD SAYS

"Some day the United States will

people," declared Alexander r. Shep-

herd of the District. in an address
before the Society of Natives at the
Raleigh Hotel last night, in which
he related his experiences in Mex
for thirty years.

would be enforced il necessary. For
thirty years l have carried bars of
silver and large sums OF money On

Paper on morse Elm.
A paper entitled The Morse Elm
and the Forest PrimevaT was read
by John Ciagett Proctor. historian of

on Pennsylvania avenue were in 1904,
when President Jefferson caused four
rows of Lombardy poplars to be
placed along the Avenue from the
Capitol toDl5th street. when row
was planted on each side of the street
where the curbstone would end and
two more rows at equal distances
from the curbstone and near the CEN
ter Of the Avenue" he said.
From 1888 to 1913 Congress spent
$500 per year in purchase of trees,
and 1t was during this period that,
according to Mr.. Proctor, the Morse
elm was planted at 14th street and
