BOISE. Idaho, Jan. 10--A discus
sion in the house relative to the lax
manner in which the clerk compiled
the journal. supposed to show the
transactions Of Tuesday, brought out
the fact that the stationery which the
senator's, representatives and legisla-
tive attaches win use this session, was
purchased and printed in Portland,
Ore
The material was shipped by freight
more than a week ago. but has not vet
reached the state house. Chief Clerk
Moore said he had been given to un-
derstand that the secretary OF state
placed the order for the stationery and
printing with Portland house.
The house passed written resolu-
ton by Rossi, to the effect that here
after all persons charged with buying
such supplies, procure them in Idaho
The matter OF accepting the printing

actly who ordered the work done OUT

printing committee. A large number
OF the members are in favor Of refuse
ing to accept the stationery and print-
ing.
Cavanah moved an adjournment UNI
til 10 o'clock today, but on roll call OF
the house the motion was lost.
Mullaly said there was the important
matter Of an appropriation for the OK

bill to the clerks desk. The speaker
stated that the rules had not been
printed and that the house could not
proceed without rules
motion was made that considera-
tions Of the bill proceed under unfin-
ished business and the motion pre-
vailed. Mullaly then moved a. suspen-
sion of the rules and that the bill be

The speaker ruled that there were
no rules to be suspended. and without

ROAD BUILDERS OF
WINDHAM COUNTY
Their Meeting Last Friday With State
Highway Commissioner Charles W.
Gates Brought About Better
Understanding of Law.

The meeting of the road commission
rs Of the towns of Windham county
| in Festival hail last Friday morning
! and afternoon with State Commissioner
Charles 5. Gates of Franklin was un-
usually profitable. The meeting was
called to order soon after 1890 with
the commissioners present from prac-
| tcaLy all the towns in the county.
Mr. Gates at the opening of the meet
i ing made a speech explaining thorough
" the methods in which the state mon
ey is TO be distributed among the towns
Of the state and county and saying
| that practically $4,000 has been voted
by the different towns of the state
Under the provisions of the law recent
y enacted by the legislature each town
had the privilege of voting a certain
amount of money for use in permanent
work On the town highways to be de,
cided upon by the commissioner, ana
the state would duplicate the amounts
voted by the towns. Brattleboro yoteu
70 use $500 in special work and the
amount which will be received from
the state is $500 which makes $9Ooo
besides the usual amount, in all about
$4,000.
After mentioning the amounts when
will be spent by the towns OF the
county Mr.. Gates told of the method OF
building roads best suited to the con
ditions Of the state. He said the build
ing of macadam roads was impractlc-
able on account Of the expense as TINS
state is not as rich in taxable property
as the states Of Massachusetts ana
Connecticut, also that three-fourths OIL
the land Of the state is either waste
Or woodland and roads through sucn
land need not be of the best quallty
since there is almost no travel over
Ilem from one year s end to the other
Inc nils make it necessary to bulld a
ROAD of good foundation with good
oralnage to prevent washing. Inc
plans Of the National Good Roads asso-
cation which held a meeting here last
summer were not good for building
roads in Vermont. Their experience had
oeen gained in building roads across
Ile level prairie states where it IS an
easy matter to grade the road, put on
coating of crushed stone or graVei
ana then roll it solid with a steam
roller: One thing especially that this
association advocated, hauling a scrap

.lI'Iy lmpracticable in three-fourths OF
