Nezperce had about 30 representa-
tives in the assemblage in the upper
Middle Fork river territory last Sun
day, whose object it was to view and
take note of the construction wors
which had been done on the Lewis
and Clark Highway above KooslSia.
This meeting was held at the insti-
cation of the Lewiston Commercial
Club, with other contiguous commun-
tiles cooperating and Kooskia acting
as host and guide. Lewiston has taken
a leading part in securing the means
and pushing the work on this Lewrs
and Clark road-an intermountam
highway to extend to Missoula, Mon
tana, to Lewiston, Idaho, which will
shorten the east and west trans-con-
tinental route 200 miles. 1t is ex-
tremely worth while, and will prove
to be worth to the nation many times
the large investment required Com
paratively few people even in the re-
gion through which it passes are fam
iliar with what has thus far been ac-
complished in its construction. The
interest of all viii hasten its compile

measure, but hampered by the rain of
Saturday evening, which kept many

with agreeable thrills. Kooslia did
her part as host most charmingly and
saw that everyone had plenty to eat.
Bert Savage, as the chief represen-
5ative of the Lewiston Commercial
Club, was busy every minute with the
forestry authorities and others of in
'luence in the road work on plans for
completing the highway.

tions, the price Of white wheat vari-
cites at Nezperce today is 10y, and

THE "DEvIL WEED =

This noxious growth is SO named
because of its hellish effect on the
land it infests, and it is avoided in
farming districts as a pestilence of
the most serious nature. 1t is a short
growth of woody stems with slender
leaves and yellow snap -dragon-like
blossom that is said to produce as hign
as fifty seeds that are easily scatter
ed by the wind Once it gains foot
hold its eradication by any practical
method is said to be out of the ques-
tion. It's roots reach deep into the
earth and spread far and wide; and so
thoroughly does it sap the ground 1t
covers nothing else win grow there.
The recent appearance of this weed
in this section is viewed with alarm,
and farmers are now searching for
methods to prevent its spread.
