Kamiah Considering $4,000 High
way Bond Issue.

A bond issue Of $4,000 to be
used I'M building the Nezperce-
Kamiah highway is the PROPOSE
ton now occupying the attention
Of voters Of the Kamiah highway
district. No official move has
been made by the commissioners
Of the district, but DR.. Bridwell,
the chairman and prime mover
in all road enterprises in this
valley, is busy feeling the
pulse" of people and as far as
he has been around among them
he has found an overwhelming
sentiment in favor of the bond
issue.
The sentiment as regards the
two roads is also quite pro-
nounced in favor Of the road up
the hill as against the canyon
route. Every one is for a road,
one place or the other, and some
will oppose bonds specifying one
route while there will be a like
opposition to bonds for the
other; but it seems that, based on
DR.. Bridwell's "straw VOTE" the
bonds for the hill road are most
in favor.
1t is likely that the election
will be ordered ere long, as
everybody has the opinion that
whatever is to be done should be
done as quickly as is reasonable
in order to provide work for a
large number Of men who need it.
The building Of this road will
place quite a sum of money in cir
culation and provide work for
men for several months. And,
too, the sooner the road is COM
pleted, the sooner will its bene-
fits be made use of.
A bond issue of $4,000 will
mean tax of but $4.00 on each
$1,000 of assessed valuation for
ten years, after which it will be
higher, as payment Of the bonds
must be taken care of after that
time. .-Kamiah Progress.

Making Park Beautiful.

On Tuesday afternoon con-
tingent of the local War Mothers
organization, assisted by Legion
boys, set out quantity Of shrub
berry to form background for
the Soldiers Memorial Monu-
ment, which is to be raised this
summer on the terraced eminence
in Memorial Park. The plant
ings included rows Of red and
white roses and purple and white
lilacs, and when these have grown
and are in blossom they will make
a picture whose beauty will be
the pride of the county which
honors every lad it sent to the
front in his country's cause.

THE BEST SENIOR PLAY.

1t has been the pleasure of the
writer to witness the play pre-
sented by the senior classes of the
Nezperce High School each ses-
sion during the past twelve years.
He is not influenced otherwise
than by merit when he says, that
Of the class of 20, given at the
auditorium last Friday night
was probably the best yet.
This keen comedy Of mystery
in three acts" And Home Came
Ted either just fitted the tai
ent at hand, or the talent fitted
it, so well that each actor had no
trouble in making the most of his
part. And this statement applies
in due consideration of the effort
of instructors and actors to make
the whole show the fine success
it was. Possibly the credit is due
partly to the advantage of obser-
vation and experience this class
has had through attending prev
ious like presentations, and also
the patience and perseverance Of
the instructors comes in for fair
share.
AS usual, a packed house was
on hand, and by the ready and
generous applause of the audi
ence, and numerous opinions ex-
verbally, one is more i'm
PEELED to make the foregoing COM
ment.
Besides the cast, those contrib
uting the evenings success were:
Miss Marjorie Miller in read
ing and encore. Miss Iawan Man
ring in vocal solo and encore,
accompanied on the piano by
Miss Marie Rowe. The Hyde and
orchestra provided fine
music throughout the evening.

Are We Behind the Times?

Idaho and Nez Perce counties
have, by action of their county
commissioners, engaged tn ell
respective county agents for an
other year, thus putting the
stamp Of approval on the work
of these offices. Which leads one
to wonder if Lewis county did
not take backward step when
its commissioners dispensed with
the office in this county. The
matter was brought up at a re-
cent meeting of the governing
board Of the Kamiah Commercial
Club. The marketing COMMITTEES
found right on the start that
its work was handicapped to
some extent by the lack of a
county agent to guide them, and
what little discussion there was
at the board meeting showed
up considerable sentiment i'll
favor Of an agricultural adviser
for this county-Kamiah Pro
0reSS.

Mail Carrier Does 10000 Miles

Eighteen years on any one Jot
is a pretty good record, but wher
man has the staying qualities
to withstand the wear and tear
of a rural mail carrier for that
length of time, with slight inter
mission, he is exceptional and the
people he serves must be kind
ly, likable class.
This applies to the record
made by Frank Billups, carrier
of route No. l out of Nezperce.
Yesterday, April 26, completed
his eighteen years of continuous
service as carrier out of this
place; at first on route 3, but
for the greater part of the time
on route l. Last year he had a
vacation Of several months, the
first of any considerable length
during his carriership. In max.
ing his daily rounds as rural
postman he has travelled approx
imately 10000 miles and has de-
livered 100000 pieces of mail.
He appears not much the worse
for wear, has lived as well or
better than the average person,
and looks good for another eigh-
teen years on the job, if he does
not care to sooner retire and
start a hank.

After a warm session through
the legal steps leading up to the

day morning Leslie L. Roth, as
sistant cashier of this bank, was
arraigned on like charge to Wat
erman s, and took the statutory
time to plead. On Tuesday morn
ing his counsel, Fred E. Butler,
of Lewiston, filed and was denied
motion to quash the informa-
ZION. A demurrer was then filed
and overruled, whereupon he en-
tered his plea of not guilty, and
thereupon he filed a motion for
change of venue to Nez Perez
county ON the grounds Of bias
and prejudice Argument ON this
point Immediately followed, and
the court took the matter under
advisement until Wednesday
morning, when his decision was
rendered denying the motion on
the grounds that the showing to
sustain the claim was insufficient.
On Tuesday morning Geo. III.
Waterman was arraigned and
took until Wednesday morning
to enter his plea, when, after the
same procedure that was taken in
the Roth case as to motion to
quash and the demurrer, the de-
fendant plead not guilty. Then
over the objection of the counsel
for defense, Miles I'll. johnson,
the case was set for .next Thurs
day
Roth's case will follow the
Waterman trial.
In the meantime, Judge Scales
will open the Grangeville term of
court next Monday and
with the business thereof
until Thursday

Legion Minstrel Play Neighbol
Towns

The minstrel show given here
three weeks ago by the local
Legion post won such high favor
that it has been decided to give
lit at three of the neighbor towns,
the main objective Of the tour
being raising of funds to apply
on the cost of the monument
which Lewis county viii unveil
this summer as a memorial to the
men who lost their lives in the
Great War.
On tomorrow (Friday) night
the boys will appear at Craig
mont, and on the following Fri
day night, May 5, at Winchester.
They will make Kamiah at lat
er date, which has not yet been
set. The boys put up a real en-
tertainment, chock full of fun, in
this minstrel production and
those who enjoy a hearty laugh
will not regret the investment of
the price of admission. Further
more, the net proceeds go to a
purpose which we are all proud
to assist in. Quite number of
local people have expressed their
intention of accompanying the
troupe on its tour.

Turner Brothers, the well
known big farmers of this sec
ton, this week bought from I'll
w. Merritt, of Rosalia, Wash.
the undefeated grand champion
Shire stallion, George Washing
ton. This horse was the big at
traction at all the leading shows
and fairs of the Northwest on ac-
count of his size and action and
is pronounced by the leading
Judges to be one of the best Shire
horses ever shown on the coast,
winning three silver cups and a
medal from the Shire Horse As
sociation Of England.
The Turner boys have a num-
ber Of choice registered mares
and will feature this strain OF
stock in their farm operations.
Mr. Merritt raised this horse and
has his dame and sire at Rosalia.
His full sister was only defeated
once for the grand championship
and that was by her stable mate
and half sister.

railroad yards and many house,
would be in line of fire Col
I Morrow replied that there wa,
cnly one way he, knew of and thai
was for the train to get out Of
our sector and stay out. The Japs
said they would have to take part
with the Semenoff troops against
| the Americans if trouble started
Ibut they would do what they
could to get the train out. The
Japs took the train out and NO
more came into our sector until
the forepart of January. General
Oi, of the japanese and a repres-
entative of Semenoff, came to
Col. Morrow and asked permits
sion to run the armored trains
through our sector in order that
they might go to Irkutsk to as
sist in holding the city. Col. Nor
row gave permission for them to
pass through, providing they
would go quietly and would not
molest the people in the villages.
They promised to do this and two
trains passed through the sector
without any trouble as they
agreed. The third train, how
ever, stopped at Verkne Udinsk
and a guard was sent to the home
Of the assistant station command
ant. His home was robbed and
he was taken prisoner and placed
en- board the bronovik. His
friends Immediately sent word to
Col. Morrow, who went at once toI
the train where he demanded the
mans release. At first the Off
Ger III charge refused to give upI
their prisoner, but after he knew
it was going to make trouble they
agreed to turn him loose, stating
that it did not make any differ
ence, that it was only the life of
one man and that they would get
him some. other time. This same
train left Verkne Udinsk that
night about 1000 and proceeded
westward about Is miles to a
place called Ploposkaya where
we had a detachment of 33 men
guarding the railroad. Here they
opened fire with their machine
guns on the cars used as head
quarters for our men and but for
he fact that the wife Of one of
he sergeants, who by the way
i Russion woman, obtained infor-
nation as to what was going to
AXE place, and notified her hus-
,and, all would have been killed.
After the train had passed the
ength of the cars occupied by
,ur boys and was pulling slowly
~, our men opened fire on them
With hand grenades and rifles
md succeeded in killing IL and
disabling the engine, and with
he assistance of other detach-
nents of our men stationed up
he line, captured the train. This
will go down in history as the
,reatest achievement accomplish
d by the A. E. F. in Siberia. Our
oss was two killed and two! !

people we were sent in there to
