KAMIAH GRADE ASSURED;
BONDS CARRY STRONG.
Mondays Bond Election, With Record
Vote out, Indicates Great Desire
for Valley Grade.

The big item in the connecting link
between the Lewis and Clark Highway
at Kamiah and the North and South
Highway at Craigmont-the Kamiah
grade-was made certainty Monday,
when the people of the Kamiah High
way District voted a $4,000 bond is-
sue by casting 298 for and 70 against
the proposition With this and the
state and government money which
will be made available it is considered
ample funds will be at hand for the
construction of the six mile five per
cent grade from the valley to the prai-
rie and bringing of the road to state
specifications, except the surfacing, to
the east line of the Prairie Highway
district.
This latter district is already max
ing plans to carry the road on through
Nezperce across its breadth to connect
with a lateral through the North
Highway district and the Central
Highway district to the North and
South highway at Craigmont This
arrangement, developing every day in
to a reality, will bring the large travel
over the Lewis and Clark across a
fine section of the prairie and open it
up to outsiders in a way that means
greater development and extensive
improvement all along the line.
The great interest in this project
among the people of the Kamiah High
way district is impressed by the fact
that of the 800 voters registered there
were 357 who participated in this
business and all other matter were for
busines and all other matter were for
the moment set aside. 1t was gi-
gantic accomplishment, and the re-
suits win reach far into the future
generations who will call this beauti-
full domain their home.

Admiggion to sundays Ban Came.

1t takes considerable funds to run
even an all-home ball team, especially
of the quality Nezperce has the honor
of having, and the only system Of rails
ing these funds is through the gate
receipts at each game. This gives
every fan who enjoys a good game
chance to share his part of the up
keep of the team and works no hard
ship on any individual or group. 1t
has been found that 25-cent admis-
sion fee is inadequate, and therefore,
the charge to next Sundays game be-
tween Winchester and Nezperce-the
final League game to be played on our
home grounds-will be so cents for
adults. 1t is the hope of the team
management that all will see the fair
ness of this and everybody will there
by help the home town base ball club.
Thank you.

crowd learned from Prof Stone thai
Martin Thorsen, one of the two broth
ers responsible TO this showing, held
the Idaho pig club championship.
Then across the country sped the
cars to JAS. T. Stanton Is place, where
his showing of Short Horns and Pol
and -Chinas proved worth the gas.
Back then to the broad reaches of
the Turner Bros. ranch the crowd
viewed the extensive improvements
under way and then dropped further
down on the same place to see one of
the finest shire stations ever used on
a farm, and he is the head of a herd
of 25 pure-blood mares of the same
type. Now here is bunch of horses
very few countries can match on any
one farm.
Last, but not least, was the Mat.
Schmidlkofer herd of Holsteins, the
milk and butter producers-a select
and well-kept bunch, which has helped
wonderfully in these trying times for
the farmer to make them less trying
Lee Swartz, the Red Polled breeder
west of town, was absent from home
ana his herd was not visited on this
account.
The day was finished with gencr
GUS and finely done dinner provided
by the War Mothers at the Community

Nezperce railroad from Nezperce have
been reduced 20 per cent and from

71a cents and now it is 6; from Chris
man it was cents and is now Az.
Considering that around 100000 bush

Athletic Program Interesting

The athletic program at the fire
hall last Saturday evening provided
an interesting two hours to those who
were fortunate enough to be present.
Martin Youngdahl and Gibson went
26 minutes on the mat before Gibson
finally pinned his man. Youngdahl
was not in the best of shape and did
not care to go on for another fall. He
should beat Gibson when in condition.
An interesting feature of the enter
tainment was an exhibition by Lavon
Gibson Of Glendale, II year old boy
athlete. He had number of good
stunts and was heartily applauded.
Ted Bartlett and r. ]. Wilson stepped
three 2-minute rounds with the gloves,
Referee Wilson declaring the bout a
draw. These boys are getting SO they
can step right out and go. Ted has
bad arm which would handicap him,
but r. j. is likely to be heard from
later on if he decides to follow it up.
The main attraction was the match
between Hagensick and Hill. Hag
caught tartar and the match lasted
a few minutes over an hour, when
Hagensick bumped his head on spot
where the padding was too thin and
was obliged to discontinue. He prob
ably would have beaten Hill in an
other ten minutes, however. Hill ID
a good, strong young fellow, and with
more experience will soon get to the
top.
