EARLY APPEAL
FOR N-SIR0AD
Parker's Efforts for High
way in Pioneer Days Retold

, Perhaps the earliest move made in
the Territory of Idaho for North
and South road was in 1889, when
the Hon. A. +. Parker Idaho county
pioneer, made an eloquent appeal
before the territorial legislature at
Boise for passage of what was known
as the wagon Road Bill" provid-
ing for the building of wagon road
from Mt Idaho, in Idaho county, to
Salmon Meadows, then in Washing
ton County
Following reprint ON Mr.. Parker's
appeal is from the Idaho Democrat.
pioneer Idaho newspaper, publish
ed at Boise. The Democrat, for Jan.
20, 1889, said:
Before the Idaho Legislature
There is no measure before the
legislature which promises more bene
ficial results to the Territory at large
than Days H. b. 81, providing for
the building of wagon road from
Mt. Idaho, in Idaho county. to Sal
mon Meadows, in Washington coun-
ty, by way of Salmon river. There
is an impression that this road is
designed for the exclusive benefit
of the Panhandle portion of the Ter |
ritory, but this impression is entire |
ly erroneous. The country traversed |
by and contiguous to the new road
is the very heart of the Territory.

sentially territorial thorougfare
and will form the connecting link
between the hitherto remote sections
of our territory, opening up to ex-
area in the heart of our territory
which is now practically inaccessible
for lack Of the transportation ia
cilities which this road will provide.
The richest country in the world is
worthless if it cannot be got at.
Wagon-roads are the forerunners of
railroads. They are the arteries
through which the commercial blood
of the country flows, and without
them the resources of the country
remain undeveloped, the precious
minerals remain in the undeveloped
leads, the timber remains uncut, no
towns can grow because there can
be no trade and the whole country
languished for lack of roads.
IF there is an honest desire on the !
part of members from the southern
counties TO retain the Territory of |
Idaho in its entirety the passage of
the wagon road bill will be an i'm
the consumation wished. The Pan
handle and the south will then be
joined not only in the profitable in
terchange of trade but in that inter
course which will familiarize those
alien people with each other. From

with Walters holding forth unusual promise as a distance star. Together
 with Nal Douglas, Yale captain, Will
 liam Elliott, of Stanford, and Jack
 Ross, of University of California, they complete field that promises to push the victor to close to record time. The only 1923 point scorers on this
 list are Kirby and Douglas, who fin- ished third. The Cornellian's victory in 4:1T 4-5 was one of the most bril- liant college performances of the year. proof of which is that 1t marked the seventh time that 4:19 had been since 1876.
 It was not until 1909 that the mile record was put below that level by W. c. Paul. of Pennsylvania. who was clocked in the same time as Kirby. John Paul Jones, greatest of all Cor nell distance stars. ushered in a re- cord-shattering streak in 1911. lower ing the time that year to f15 2-5 and in 1913 to the present record Of 4:14 2-5. after his famous dead heat with Norman Taber. Of Brown. in 1912. Since then the most sensational per- formance has been that of another Ithacan. l.. V windnagle. who coered the distance in 4:15 in 1916. Jimmy Connolly, of Penn State also have beaten 4:19.
 Kirby thus will carry on where a long line Of Comedians have biazed a path to athletic glory. The Ithacans, under Jack Moakley. have captured nine mile championships and shared fin holding a tenth. more than any other rival. Pennsylvania has won eight, Harvard seven, Princeton six. Yale four and wesIysn three. while seven other colleges have furnished one or two winners.
