VOLUME 26. NUMBER 27. . COTTONWOOD, IDAHO, FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1918. ROAD AND STREET WORK ORDERED) Contractor McCully Gets Contract for Grading. Our highway road commission- ers met Saturday to consider bids for macadamizing the several miles of county roads adjoining town, for which bids were adver- tised in this paper. Contractor J. B. McCully of Nezperce, who is building the new road across Lawyers canyon at the Joe Eller place, was awarded the contract for the grading of the county work. There were only two bids for the work of macadamizing—J. W. Poe of Moscow and the Eslick Co. of Spokane. In the opinion of the highway commissioners both bids were unreasonably high—be- ing about double the price usually paid for such work. Therefore the board very properly rejected both bids, and we understand that it is their intention to superintend | * this part of the work themseltres. In this manner the work can be divided between our local people with their teams whenever they can spare the time, and thus keep the money in circulation among our own people. Oureity council met Monday evening and authorized Engineer Warren to prepare the necessary plans and specifications for ma- cadamizing our principal streets, and this work is also to begin at once. Attorney Fred Butler of Lewis- # ton, legal adviser for our highway commission and city council, was present also at these meetings. | Engineer Warren wants to get in touch with everybody in this part of the country having any kind of road equipment. He asks that all such report to him at once. Give it your full support. best. ———— The United States Government Cooperates with the 7,600 member banks in maintaining the Federal Reserve Banking System for the protection of the business interests of the country.

That isa momentous victory. | It is not like the Marne, where dogged determination stopped the invasion. It is small in numbers| —but it is great in spirit. It is like the soul of Joan of Arc lead-| ing an offensive warfare against the invaders. Itis prophetic of the attack that will carry the war into Germany—when the hulking brute of Prussianism will begin to pray for mercy. America expected the Marines to do as much—for America, with her other clean, heroic traditions, believes in heredity.
