MUST HAVE FIRE PERMIT.

In order to keep check on
campfires built on areas most
frequently visited in the Nez-
perez forset during the fire dam
ger period a system of camp fire
permits will be put into effect
beginning July 1. The areas
where these permits will be put
in use are on or adjacent to the
Adams road from the forest
boundary to the Adams ranger
station and thence to Slate creek

forest boundary to the Castle
creek ranger station and the Red
river hot springs.
Several thousand tourists and
campers visit these areas every
year and in order to insure these
areas against destruction by
careless burning, it is necessary
to emphasize the need of care
with fire and to keep before the
public their duty and response
bifty.
These permits will be issued
without charge and contain the
regulations governing the use OF
camp fires and show how they
can be made safe. Permits fol

ENGINEERS
INVESTIGATE
HAVE SET ASIDE $4,000 FOR
N. & S. HIGHWAY
TO TWIN HOUSES.

Federal Engineer Roy Shoe
maker with headquarters at
Ogden, Utah and State Engineer
Adams, working under the juris-
diction of the state highway de-
partment made an investigation
of the proposed new route for
the North and South highway
via the Twin houses which road
leads out of the Cottonwood
district towards Fem and
Grangeville. 1t is believed that
the change will be granted by
the federal and state engineers,
who requested the Cottonwood
highway commissioners to pre-
pare and passed the necessary
resolution effecting this change.
This has already been done and
forwarded to the Commissioner.
of Public Works, w. ]. Hall at
Boise.
Two weeks ago, petitions were
circulated in the district asking
the commissioners of the Cotton
wood highway district to grade
and gravel the road leading to
the twin houses, thereby also ex-
pressing their wishes that the
old survey through the Schnider
ranch be abandoned and to use
the old road to the west line of
the district. The petition was
signed by at least 80 per cent of
the taxpayers in the district.
This fact, of the taxpayers in
this district desiring the change
was made known to W. J. Hall,
commissioner of public works, at
Boise, who in turn ordered his
engineer to at once make an in
vestigation and report to him as
to their findings. Federal Engi-
neer Shoemaker, acting for the
federal government, who must
first give his approval Of the pro-
ject in order for the district tc
receive federal aid was also pre-
sent at the investigation ant
without any question of doubt
the proposed change will b(
granted after which the district
will receive federal aid, dollar fol
dollar.
The engineers will again make
another inspection of the pro
posed change in July, when al
details will be worked out.
1t is estimated by the com
missioners of the Cottonwood
district that the work of grading
and graveling the road, approx
mately two miles in length, will
cost $4,000, half Of which will
be paid by the district and thu
other half by the federal govern
ment. The figures agreed upol
by the commissioners are takel
from the basis of $1.85 per cubl
yard for crushed rock, the pric
they are now paying for simila
work and the grading and ETC., a
estimated being the same as the,
paid for the road construction
last year.
