State Ready to Proceed with
Road Construction Down
South Fork

State department of public works
Will within the next month call for
bids for construction of a 16-foot high
way between Harpster and Sites, ac-
cording to advices from Boise. This
road, to be known as the Camas
Prairie highway, has long been needed
by the people of the Harpster and
Clearwater country to provide ready
outlet to down-riyer points. The pres
ent road from Harpster to Sites is
in deplorable condition.
Clearwater Highway district several
years ago voted a $4,000 bond issue
to aid in construction of the Sites
Harpster highway, but had not offered
the bonds for SALE due to uncertainty
as to time actual building of the road
would be undertaken.
Commissioners of the highway dis
trict have just been advised by the
state department of public works to
proceed with sale of the bonds as the
districts part in financing the road,
approximately nine miles in length.
The road will follow the South Fork
of the Clearwater river. State and
federal cooperative funds will be used
on the project.

RECORD
Estimate of 1923 Crop in Gem
State Is 1856, 900
Bushels

With harvest well along through
the northwest, government crop esti-
mates for Idaho, Oregon and Wash
ington, as of August 1, show a total
production of 112,914,O00 bushels of
wheat. This is divided as 69,277,0
winter wheat, and 1861, 900, spring.
The figures are taken from the
monthly report of the bureau of crop
estimates by G. S. Ray for Washing
ton, f. L. Kent for Oregon and julius
III. Jacobson for Idaho.
The wheat yield is close to a record
that of Idaho actually sets a record
with 2S,656,000 bushels. The Wash
ington yield of 5S,202,000 bushels is
far in excess of the 5-year average
and Oregon, with 26056,000 bushels,
also far exceeds the 5-year average
for that state.

In order to disprove vilifying state
ments concerning the North and South

the Idaho State Automobile associa-
ton, and former state game warden,
arrived in Grangeville from Boise
Sunday afternoon at 2:40, having
driven the 25S miles between the
state capital and Grangeville in nine
hours and twenty-five minutes, an av-
erage of more than twenty-seven miles
an hour. Mr.. Jones left Boise at 5 rs,
mountain time, Sunday morning,
stopped one hour in higgins for lunch,
and reached Grangeville at 40, Pa
cli1c time. He spent ten minutes here
and proceeded to Spokane, expecting
to reach that city Sunday night.
Il am making this trip" said Mr..
Jones, TO prove to the people of south
Idaho that the North and South high
way Is the shortest, quickest and best
roule from Boise to Spokane.
There have been so many dispar-
aging reports concerning the condition
OF the North and South highway,
mat | determined to make q test run.
Aside from about twenty miles be-
tween higgins and New Meadows, the
highway is in first class condition.
for about twenty miles there are
rocks In the road and it is high
IN the center, but this condition can
easily be remedied, and the road be
put In good travelable condition. At
present, one must drive carefully over
this section of the road"

GAS PRICE DROPS
CENTS ON GALLON

Price of gasoline in Grangeyille de
clined 2 cents a gallon during the

cents a gallon at filing stations.
This price includes cents tax.
Wholesale gasoline in barrel lots is
23h cents, where purchaser furnishes
the barrel.
Peak of gasoline prices was reached
in Grangeville in the summer of 1921,
when the wholesale price was 39%
cents a gallon.
War on gasoline prices in the mid

states have undertaken distribution of
gas at cost to consumers in order to
reduce prices, is believed to be re-
sponsible for the voluntary reduction
on the part of the local oil company.

TO FIX PRICE ON WHEAT CROP

A resolution calling upon President

to aid the wheatgrower was adopted
in Moscow Saturday by an assemblage

The resolution, calls President Cool

price is far below the actual cost of
production and that if this continued
loss and drain on the farmers resour-
ces has brought a crisis that means
disaster to both the farmers and bus
mess men of the wheat growing states
