Flint, Cottonwood Boise, Idaho, May 5, 1919 Sincere congratulations. on the magnifiicent results you have achieved in Idaho zounty. We appreciate the great difficulties under which you have labored and _ your success is a monument to your faithful and loyalty to our state and nation.

Last Saturday .even- ing the county was_ behind $110,000, Cottonwood being the only city in the county over the top: but with the closing of the Victory bond subscription books Wednesday evening the county had subscribed its quota.. Much of the honor in Idaho county go- ing over the top is due to the hard work of Chairman Flint who worked for the subscrip- tion since its being placed on the market from early day to late at night and for the past four weeks has sacrificed his personal business in order to hold the county in the honor roll. The Victory loan, the last one to be put on by the govern- ment was subscribed in Idaho county. by volunteer - subscrip- tion no one being forced to buy bonds as was done in some of the former drives. Cottonwod Oversubscribed. Cottonwood is' the only city in the county to oversubscribe its quota and went over the top with 33 1-3 percent to the good, its quota being $72,000 and the subscription received here being $96,000. Grangeville, Ferdinand and Stites reach their quota. Whitebird and Kooskia are far behind in subscribing its quota, Whitebird having less than 50 percent of its quota and Koos- kia being a little more than 50 percent. Idaho county in the future ean always look back with great pride to the war record it has attained in the Great War, sub- scribing its quota at each and every one of the bond drives as well-as-doing its share in other war work. Cottonwood and vicinity especially have cause for great joy and pride in the last drive-in making the splen- did record. it did. Following are subscribers who last. publicatin.

District for $90,000 carried by a vote of 316 for to 60 against or better than 5 to 1 for the bonding issue. The vote cast at this election was one of the heaviest ever re- corded in Cottonwood on. any similar occasion and practically every qualified voter went to the polls and either expressed his wishes for or against the proposition.. Severel automobiles were busy from the’ opening hour of the polls until the last minute conveying -voters to the polls. The result of the election Monday clerrly shows that the people of this vicinity want good roads ard are willing to do everything in their power to show state officials that the community ‘wants the North and South highway to pass through Cottonwood which route has al- ready been designated by the state highway board and all that was wanted was money to help byild the state highway through the ‘Cottonwood dis- trict. Cottonwood, now with-| out a doubt will be on the main line of the new state highway, as well as having money left, when the: bonds are sold to do considerable work in other sec- tins of the district. "The good road boosters of Cottonwood and vicinity are highly: elated over the splendid vote recorded in’ favor of the bond issue. BRING HIM BIG RETURNS It is not very often that three cows and a few chickens will bring in an income of $82.56 for one month. This however, was the experience of D. A. McKin- ley a farmer residing four miles from Cottonwood on the new Greencreek highway and locat- ed on what is known: as. the Plumb Grove ranch. Mr. Me- Kinley stated that he kept. a very accurate account of, the re- turns of his three cows and chickens last month and found that they brought him $82.56. He also sold last week 12 nine months old pigs for which he received $514.12. an neat little sum itself. the hogs averaging $57.84 per head. CARLOAD POWDER HERE A earlnad of nowder for the Joseph.
