5 SOLDIER BOYS
HOME FROM WAR
Lads Are So Eager to Re-
turn That They Drive
Day and Night

Homesick and weary because OF
thirty days intensive training at Fort
Douglas, Salt Lake, Utah, five
Grangeville recruits arrived home
Sunday evening, after having had
their first taste of army life.
The lads who reached home were
Ebert Burrows, Sidney King, Stanley
King, Paul Eimers and Raymond
Droogs. Another member of the party
James Geary, left his companions at
Pocatello, and proceeded to Mackay
to visit an uncle.
The boys made the trip to and from
Salt Lake by automobile, and on their
homeward journey were in such bur.
nv to return to Grangeville that they
drove day and night, taking turns at
the steering wheel, while others slept
in the speeding automobile. They left
Salt Lake at 8 o'clock Friday after
noon and arrived home at 8 Sunday
night. At one place on the homeward
Journey, they were extremely fatigued,
and when one lad fell asleep at the
steering wheel, they decided it was
time to stop for a few hours, so they
pulled the car to the side of the road,
and soon all were in the land of
dreams.
The boys show no ill effects from
army life, but they were happy to re-
turn to mothers cooking, in preference
to army chow.

Selecting fair dates less than two
months away, September 10, III and
II directors of the Idaho County
Fair association are rushing plans
for the fall exhibition.
The Idaho county exhibits this
-ear, 1t is pointed out, will probably
excel those of any other fair in this
section, owing to the fact that this
region has been more favored with
rain than neighboring regions where
crops are reported as being the
Ightest in years. Special attention,
1t is promised, will be given to agri-
cultural displays, and in the livestock
section it is proposed to arrange more
liberal premiums and provide for a
larger classification of exhibits.
Plan for Big Fair
In the face of conditions that are
discouraging other fairs from attempt
ing to repeat their former successes,
the directors of the Idaho County fair
propose to make the 1924 fair bigger
and better than ever, and they pro-
pose to have exhibits that will be a
revelation in the way of showing the
remarkable productivity Of Camas
Prairie in one Of the dryest seasons
on. record.
The fair this year, according to the
directors, will be a farmers fair. II
through the exhibits interest can be
renewed and stimulated In the pro-
duction of still better crops and the
breeding of purebred stock, and the
advancement of dairying and other
activities associated with successful
farming, the directors feel that the
lsA fair will have been all they hope
1or 1t, And if other people and par
ueulariy visitors and tourists go away
impressed with the natural advantages
OF Camas Prairie from a farming and
livestock standpoint, it will be splendid
community advertising and the bene
nus OF this favorable publicity will
eventually be enjoyed by the farmers
and tOwnspeople of Camas Prairie.

EDITORS TOUR
COMES TO END
AT UNIVERSITY

See Indian Pow-Wow
Proceeding toward Lewiston, the
caravan halted at Spalding, where a
pow-wow was being held by the Nez
Perez Indians. A half hour was de-
voted to a visit to the Indian village.
In the nearby cemetery, graves Of the
Rev. Henry Spalding and his wife,
Eliza Spalding, pioneer missionaries
to the Nez Perces, attracted the at
tention of members of the party.
At Lewiston, the Idaho newspaper
men were entertained by the Lewis

the Iewis-Clark hotel. Following a
brief visit to the Lewiston Normal

1918 IN FAVOR
|0F ISSUE AND.
|l2ARE AGAINST
Voters Overwhelmingly Favor
Financing Road to Connect
Grangeville and Cottonwood
State Department of Public
Works Will Soon Call for
Proposals for Construction

By the overwhelming majority or
313 to II, voters of the Grangeville
Highway district, at special cleo
ton Tuesday, approved $4,000
bond issue, for the purpose of defray-
ing the districts share in cost OF con-
structing approximately five and
half miles of the North and South
highway.
This highway will be a part of the
Grangeville- Cottonwood link Of the
state road system, and will extend
westward from Grangeville to the
line Of the Fem Highway district.
The road will be of standard con-
struction, and will be surfaced with
crushed rock. The districts $4,000
will be AZ percent of cost of this road,
and will be matched by So percent Of
federal money.
Fem Votes Bonds
The Feun Highway district, several
months ago, voted $4,000 bond Is
sue, which will pay that districts por-
ton of cost of building seven and a
half miles of road from the Grange
vile district line, through Fem, to
the Cottonwood Highway district.
Cottonwood will build about two miles
If highway, but will not vote bonds
for this purpose. Cottonwood will
raise its money for these two miles by
direct levy.
Bonds of the Grangeville and Fem
Highway districts, it is declared, will
be Immediately offered for sale, and
when the proceeds of the bond sales
are received, the districts part in the
project will be completed.
The road will be built by the state
department of public works, bureau Of
highways, which will shortly call for
bids for the job. 1t is expected that
construction of the Grangeville-Co Cot
tonw0od link will be under way within
few weeks, and when the road is
finished the last section in the
North and South highway in central
Idaho, with exception of short
stretches on Salmon river, will be
completed
Vote Proves Pleasing
The almost unanimous vote In
Grangeville. Tuesday, in favor OF the
bond issue, was O surprise to many
who had expected more opposition. 1t
was ruInOred that certain sections of
the district, through which the pro-
posed road would not pass, would OPP
pose the bond issue, but this reported
opposition did not materialize at the
ballot box. While there was no an
ticipation that the bonds would not be
voted, it was felt that perhaps fifty
adverse votes might be cast, and the
fact that only twelve votes were cast
in opposition to the bonds proved a
pleasant surprise to good-roads advo-
Gates. In order that the bond issue
might carry, it was necessary that
twO-thirds of the total vote be in favor
of the measure.
Mrs. A. G. Cunningham was clerk
of the election and G. II. Wood and
Mrs Joe Sorrow were judges. The
polling place was in the district court
room.
