FRED HERRlcK'S FAMOUS
GAME DINNER AT THE
GROTTO ON MAY "a

Announcement is made that
Fred Herrick, the famous hunter
of big game, and equally famous
lumberman of st. Maries, will be
host to a large number of Occur
d'Alene friends on the evening of
May "a at the Grotto, when the
feature of the royal spread will
be choice cuts from big game
killed in the wilds of the Clear
water last fall by Herrick and his
intrepid band of hunters. The
menu will include elk, mountain
goat, bear and perhaps other
toothsome steaks, all of which
have been carefully preserved in
cold storage since the return from
the hunt last fall. 1t was the in
tention of Mr.. Herrick to serve
this dinner soon after the return
of the expedition, but he is a very
busy man and found it impossi-
bic to carry out his purpose until
this time. 1t is needless to say
that his friends in the Occur
d'Alenes will welcome an oppor-
tunity to share his hospitality.

THE NORTH IDAHO CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE.

The Wallace board of trade should
have large representation at the
meeting of the North Idaho chamber
of commerce at ST Maries early in
June. 1t is only by cooperation with
our neighbors that the advancement
of the interests of the northern sec
lions of the state can be secured. The
ten northern counties of Idaho have
long been in a position of great dis
advantage on account of the absence
of organized effort. 1t has been drain
ed of it's substance to enrich com
mercial centers of other states and
its agricultural timber, mineral and
other resources. as we'll as it's charm

been appropriated for the glorihcation
of the pretentious capital of a myth
cal empire Thus northern Idaho was
about to lose its identity as rich
and inviting part of the state of Idaho
until the North Idaho chamber Of
came to the rescue and re-
stored it to it's proper place on the
map. This organization, made up of
the commercial bodies of the ten nor
thern counties of the state, has un-
dertaken the task of making known
to the world the wonderful natural
resources of the north. which include
the most productive agricultural land |
the most extensive bodies of timber
in existence. the most ideal conditions
for stock raising, the most wonderful |
and diversified mineral deposits, and
the most beautiful and romantic lake
and mountain scenic attractions. With

Road Facts Briefly Stated

The longest way round is the short
est way home when the first is an i'm
proved hard surfaced road and the
other mud.
Congress has already appropriated
SIS, 900 900 to be apportioned among
the states for road building purposes
during 1928. 1924 and 1925. Idaho will
be compelled to pay her share of this
sum into the federal treasury Laws
have already been enacted for its col
lection and distribution The only
way Shoshone county can possibly
benefit from the payment of these
federal taxes, of which she will pay
her share. is from federal aid road
funds applied in Shoshone county, and
this should be sufficient reason why
every voter should support the bond
issue. Otherwise Shoshone county's
share Of the government aid will go
back into the federal treasury to be
apportioned among the other counties
Of the state or among the other states
that will quickly grasp the opportunity
to match it on $3.50 basis.
The car is a big part of motoring
the road is the rest. Why not be as
particular about the performance of
the road as about the performance of
your car?
Think of the vast amount Of money
expended in Shoshone county for road
work in the past 10 years-more than
$4,000. What have we to show for
it? An ordinary, below standard,
dangerous. dirt road Not even
third class road as highway standards
are recognized today.
Protection for those who use our
highways must be considered. A wide,
smooth. hard surfaced road is not
fool proof" but much safer.
Roads 80 feet wide from one end
of the country to the other and hard

cago Good Roads congress, which met |

will be realized. Roads must be mod

satisfactory progress driving a cross
cut short distance up the west fork
of Placer creek to cut what is believ-
ed to be the extension of the Galena
vein. The face of the crosscut is
nearing the vein and the showing
exposed on the surface encourages the
expectation that ore will be found
when the vein is reached. Samples
taken from an open cut show parti
cles of gray copper, and Mr. Burt
says the vein has been traced west
practically to the Galena end line.

A Michigan farmer complains of the
small returns he got on his potatoes
which We're shipped to southern vir-
ginia and an Idaho farmer complains
of the small returns he got on his po-
tatoes shipped to Chicago. The two
complaints demonstrate conclusively a
serious defect in our system of distri-
button. Why should the Michigan
farmer be shipping potatoes to Vir-
ginia, nearly 900 miles away, if there
is market in Chicago? Why should
an Idaho farmer ship to Chicago if
there are producers of potatoes in
nearby Michigan hunting for a mar
ket? And, moreover. why should vir-
ginia be buying potatoes in Michigan
when they can be raised in Virginia?
