NOW BUILDING HIGHWAYS.

Engineer Oehler and his company OF
assistants are making cross-sectior
survey of the two miles of highway
extending east from the completed
highway northeast of town. This is
preparatory to the grading of this
hnk of the Nezperce Kamiah road
which win be commenced about the
10th of this month, when Geo. I. Lynn
will arrive from North Dakota to sup
erintend the work.
The work of securing the right-of-
way for the Nezperce-toMohle road
is progressing with the usual s'ifs and
ands and buts,'' and it is the plan to
begin construction on this end of that
highway and get the concrete bridge
across Little Canyon creek as soon as
possible. The highway commissioners
have considerable job ON their hands
in putting this work through, with
little remuneration for their trouble.
Everyone interested should lend what
assistance he can and cheer them
along in the good cause.
While it still boasts, rightly, the
best dirt roads in the state, this dis
trict has been conservative in its con-
struction of surfaced highways, and
by such management has kept out of
debt, and though the tax levy has NOT
exceeded four mills, it has bround
$4,000 to spend on the six miles of
specified highway planned for this
year. We believe the present board
S going to get results, too, in this
construction that will be generally
satisfactory.

HAwLEY NOT A CANDIDATE.

Boise, Idaho, May 12.-Rex Os-
borne, in another forecast, declares
that under no circumstances will ex-
Governor James II. Hawley be can
didate for the United States senate
this year. 1t is known he has been
urged to become the standard bearer
of Idaho's Democracy, but the fore
caster says he will not take the job.
The same authority expresses doubt
if Dean Paul Roberts of the Boise
Episcopal church will accept the Pro
gressive nomination for senator.
On governor the dope still runs: Re-
publican, Moore; Democratic, Ross of
Pocatello; Progressive, Samuels. The
two factions of the Republican party,
the direct primaries and the conve~
will be as thick as thieves
during the 1924 campaign, says the
forecast. The opposition will make
explosive use of this situation, plus
oil, etc. The G.. o. p will meet this
with copious records and non-copious
Coolidge Tt will be red hot cam
paign and perhaps one of the most
disturbing of the many that have set
idaho back.

Editorial Association and Highway
Caravan center History
Making Event.


The executive committee of the Ida
no State Editorial Association has
fixed July as the date for the an
nual convention of the association ar
Grangeville, with SO much of July
10th as may be needed for the business
of the organization Or for sightseeing
purposes in that vicinity.
In connection with the 1924 con-
vention the editors are sponsoring an
automobile caravan over the north and
south highway, Weiser and Occur d.
Alene to Grangeville, in which the
Idaho A. A. A. win participate. 1t is
hoped, the executive committee an
nounces, that there may be 100 autos
in the caravan. Such movement of
cars over the highway connecting the
extremes of the state, it is believed,
will attract national publicity and at
least will have the result of informing
the people of Idaho as to the route and
it's scenic grandeur.
"The date was fixed near the mid
die of July" the executive committee
announces, "because it is felt tho
roads viii then be in the best eondi
tion. Moreover, the possibility of
storms will be minimized.' =
Itinerary or Trip.
The plan outlined by the committee
is for the caravan from the south to
rendezvous at Weiser, the Kiwanis
club of which city is planning an en-
tertainment for the evening of July
T. The caravan will leave Weiser the
morning of the 8th and proceed to
Payette Lakes, for luncheon and a
whirl over the lake as guests of the
Mccall Commercial club. The party
will leave Mccall at $3.50 and drive
through to Grangeville, approximately
100 miles, that afternoon. The trip
from the north win be outlined later.
Governor Moore has stated to the
executives that he will
make the trip, and other state officials
will be invited. The editorial associa-
ton, the announcement states, invites
any motorist to join the party and,
with the editors, to be guests of the
various communities. The Idaho A.
A. A. will undertake to recruit as
many of its emblemed cars as possible.
The committee asks that any desir-
ing to make the trip under these fav-
orable circumstances write the Idaho
State Editorial association, Box 119S
Boise, for registeration, stating the
number in each party and If any ad-
1itional passengers could be carried.

PACKED HOUSE SEES SENIOR
PLAY

Last Friday night the High School
auditorium was packed to standing
room only" when the curtain rose on
the first act of the Senior play, "All
On Account of Polly" This is clev-
er society drama, the plot running
deeper, the dialogue of a finer tone
and the acting required of stronger
character than is usually found in
plays chosen for high school senior
class production. The close attention
given by the large audience as the
Blot was deftly unfolded was, so to
speak, verification of the statement
Of one spectator that whoever selected
the characters for the several parts
was an artist at the job.
The seventeen members of the cast
made a record for their production
that compares favorably with the
work of any of their predecessors on
similar occasions. Each was indiyid-

lwell known pioneer farmer of the
Evergreen district southwest of this
place, ON last Saturday, through the
agency of Judge H. w. Niles of thfs
city and b. J. Fike of Sunnyside, Wn.,
traded his fine ranch of 400 acres of
plow land and 100 acres of timber 20
Chas. S. Meade for 160 acres near
Sunnyside. This is said to be one of
the best and most finely improved
farms in the Yakima valley.
Mr.. Westerman is arranging to move
to his new farm the latter part of this
month. Mr.. Meade, who has made a
success of his operations in the Yaki
ma country, will move with his wife
and child to this place about the same
time. He has rented the Leo Robert
son property and the family will oc-
eupy this, while he directs the work
on the farm just acquired. The COM
munity regrets losing substantial citi-
zens like the Westermans, and the
good wishes of all will follow them to
their new home. At the same time we
are glad to welcome the Meades as
citizens of our town and hope they
will find the country and its people
all they expect. Leo Robertson has

LAST DAY CONTESTS AT HARBKE

The Fairview and Harbke schools
will meet at the Harbke school house
Friday, May 23rd for track meet,
ciphering and spelling contests, and a
base ball game. This event is ex-
pected to be the most important of the
year. The general public is invited.
1t is planned to make the meet an
all-day affair, beginning with the
ciphering at 900 O'Clock in the morn
ing, track meet at 1000 and a big
community dinner at noon. All par.
ents and friends of the schools are
asked to bring lunch. Spelling will
take place at Loo and the base ball
game at 200.
The schools will contest in the fol-
lowing events for their track meet:
50-yard dash.
Shot put.
Running broad jump.
Standing broad jump.
100-yard dash. =.
Relay.
220-yard dash.
High jump.
Pole vault.
Baseball throw.
Discus.
Three-legged race.
Several classes of races will be
made for the smaller children. Events
will also be made for old and young.
Earl Rice, teacher of the Fairview
school, viii bring to the meet some
well trained athletes, and he has much
confidence in Jimmie Goss, an all
around athlete, who is expected to be
the high point man. Fairview has
been defeated twice by the Harbke's Is
in spelling and ciphering, and this
time the yexpect to avenge the past
defeats.
The climax of the days events will
be the ball game to which there is
quite little speculation attached. The
schools have never clashed before in
the great national game. Fairview
viii probably use few girls to fill
out their team, as also will Harbke.
1t will be game worth while.
Remember, everything is free. No
admission, not even collection. Be
there.
