Sanborn, one of the county commissioners of Whitman county, there is no truth in the statements made by Geo. Morscheck and others who had visited the Whitman commissioners in regard to the "missing link" on highway between Genesee and Lewiston and that the statements that they had refused to build the road is not founded on "real facts."
There are those who would like to know just what the Whitman commissioners did mean, then, when they made the statement that they had money, no rock crusher, and did not know when they could build the link, after making the statement that they could not accept the proposition made by Mr. Morscheck that if they did not have the money to build it, Genesee and Lewiston would either build it or furnish the money with which to build the link, and yet they refused to take any action in the matter.
But all's well that ends well as the report from Lewiston shows:
The special road committee on the "missing link" of the north and south highway went to Colfax on Friday and attended a meeting of the Whitman county board of commissioners, A. satisfactory conference was held and negotiations are now in progress looking to a permanent settlement of the question. The committee included Messrs. E. A. White and Frank Thompson of the Lewiston highway commissioners, and Messrs. R. J. Jenks, Lloyd Harris, J. E. Kincaid and A. A. Seaborg, of the Lewiston Commercial club's road committee.
