KAMIAH HIGHWAY
NOW COMPLETED
sursacing and Grading of Road
Brought to Close saturday.-win
Be Great Connecting Link.

No more win the beautiful view
which comes before the motorist as hs
starts down the Kamiah hill, be marred
and Jared by the irregularity of cnas
part of the earth 8 surface. No more
will Old Sol gaze laughingly down up
on friend husband as he vainly tries
to reorganize the shattered remnants
of once good tire, which had Just
recently come into personal contact
with one of those fine jagged rocks
which so plentifully adorned the grade.
For now there is new road leading
down into the valley-such road as
would be an asset to any community,
even in such modern times as we are
enjoying today. No sleeper than five
per cent and grayelled in its entirety
the highway is now standing invita-
tion for prairie folks to journey down
and visit with their valley neighbors,
and vice versa. Yes they are neigh
bors now-for one does not now have
to run the gauntlet of punctures, blow
outs and boiling engines to negotiate
that little old hill
The road has been under construc-
tion since February, 1923, with the
Triangle Construction Co. holding the
contract. The cost for the road com
pleted was $4,000, $4,000 furnished
by the Kamiah Highway district and
the remainder supplied by the county.
With the completion of this grade
a connecting link has now been estab
lished between all of the highways Of
the prairie and valley. The tourist
travel which viii soon be pouring over
the Lewis-C Clark highway will have a
splendid road over the hill and down
into the Lewiston country by way of
the Winchester Culdesae grade. The
highway east from Nezperce is prac-
9ically completed, all but the surfacing,
and the good dirt road between this
place and Craigmont will make the run
through to the North and South high

CAR sMAsHUP NEAR COTTON

Cottonwood, July 14.-Frank Bosse,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Bosse of
Cottonwood, lies in serious condi-
ton at the J. F. Jenny farm, north of
town, with five broken ribs and q
punctured lung, as result of his car
turning over last evening when he and
eight Others were returning from a
baseball game at Greencreek.
Henry Forsman, Jr., one of the party,
suffered broken arm, and Elizabeth,
a sister of Frank Bosse, sustained o.
dislocated shoulder and broken wrist.
Other members of the party received
only minor bruises or cuts, while Clar-
ence Bosse, cousin of Frank was the
only one fthe nine to escape unin-
jured. The party was composed of
members of the Bosse and Forsman
families.
The accident happened opposite the
Jenny farm, On the North and South
highway, mile north of town. Frank
Bosse, who was driving, is said to have
become dizzy and drove toward the
edge of the road at the point of a con
siderable fill. He turned the wheel
back just as it started over the em-
bankment and the sudden turn, served
to topple the car off the grade and it
landed squarely on top of the oecu
pants.
1t was soon ascertained that Frank
Bosse was the only person seriously
injured and he was moved short dis
tance to the Jenny home and a ply
sician summoned The physician treat
ed the injuries and advised that he be
not moved. His physician reported
this evening that he showed some i'm
provement, but that his condition is
serious.

take over the books of the desunct
Union State Bank. Chancey Wallace
who has been in charge for the past
two and one half years, rendered his
resignation some time ago, but has had

AMERICA WINS EIGHTH SUCCESS
sIvE OLYMPIC VICTORY.

America left the Olympic battlefield
Sunday triumphant in track and field
for the eighth successive time since
the modern revival of the Olympic
games. But when dusk brought a
close to the greatest and most spec
tacular fight ever witnessed for inter
national athletic honors, America
shared the final glory with her gar
liant rival from the north, Finland.
Although the Americans in con
vincing and final demonstration of
their all-around supremacy shattered
two more world records and one
Olympic record, the premier mantle of
Olympic triumph went to the new
Finnish hero, Alben Stenroos, who
raced under blazing sun to tae
classic marathon championship, a vic
tory which capped the climax of Fin
lands clean sweep of the distance
races and gave the little Nordic coun
try the greatest athletic laurels it has
ever known.
Nezperce hasn t the local interest
it had in the 1920 Olympiad, but new
crtheless, we can always appreciate
any. victory of Uncle Sans and when
we realize what this all means-that
America IS manhood is the best in the
world, that our country is the great
leader then it will be easier to work
and pull together, politically and So
cially, in an effort to keep the Gold
en- Eagle loftily perched above them
all.

DAHo CROP REPORT FOR July.

There was NO relief from the drongh
during June exceut for some local

but dry land crops not so good. Grail
crops were pincheds by some hot winds

turn of the secoud and third crops OF
alfalfa. All fruit remaining for har.
vest is developing rapidly and sizing
up well.
Wheat Crop 81 per cent Of Last Year
Wheat condition dropped to new low
levels, 60 per cent of normal for winter
wheat and 68 per cent for spring
wheat compared with 9S per cent and
97 per cent a year ago. Total wheat
prospects are 15,734,000 bushels or 52.2
per cent of last years record crop of
30,1I5,000 bushels. Intense heat the
past two weeks and some hot winds
did their work well. Dry land yields
win be light but rain in Idaho County
caused some Improvement and irri-
gated wheat is still in good condition.
Corn Acreage Still Increasing
Idaho's corn acreage totals $4,000
acres, 8 per cent increase over last
year. Acreage has been increasing
steadily since 1917 when only $4,000
acres were grown in the state or an
increase of 344 per cent in years.
With the hot weather, the irrigated
crop made remarkable growth but the
north Idaho and dry land crop was
injured by drought. Prospects indi-
Gates $4,000 bushels against last
years. crop of 3,066,000 bushels.
The United States corn crop has the
exceptionally low condition of 72 per
cent of normal. In 1903 the July |
was 79.4 but in no other year
during fifty years of Government Crop
has the condition been be-
low so per cent on July /. Based on
present rate of consumption, the Ma
ton Is requirements are for crop Of
2, $50, 100000 bushels. The July fore
cast is 2,515, ,3s5,0O0 bushels.
Hay Prospect Less Than 1928

mates compared with $4,000 acres in
