In 1914, at the age of 43. Scott published anony-

succession By that matchless series of romances, un-
broken up to 1923, within three years of his death. The
world knows what marvellous achievements he wrought
in that brief span Of years. What a life of splendor and
misery, fame and pathos: Yet his works breathe purity,
courage, honor and sweetness.

FOR BETTER ROADS
Ada County Has Taken UP the Prob
Tenn Under the New Law

Montpelier Examiner
The question of better roads is one
that sooner or later is going to COM
mand the earnest attention Of the
farmers in every county throughout
the nation. Ada county has already
grappled the question by submitting
to the people the proposition to vote
bonds with which to construct sys-
TEN of good highways In that county.
The last legislature passed a law
which provides that counties or por-
tions of counties can be organized in
to good road districts and issue bonds
to secure funds for the purpose of
constructing roads Ada is the first
county in the state to avail itself of
the provisions of the law.
The money expended In the con-
struction of good roads is returned to
the farmers many fold by lessening
the cost of transporting produce to
market. This is being practically
demonstrated in some sections Of the
United States where modern and sys-
tematic methods of road construction
have prevailed The condition of the
roads In Bear Lake county during the
past two weeks have certainly been
deplorable enough to awaken desire
in our farmers for change.

gain would be s.4 times Is cents, or
approximately 1928.
Hauling With Wagons

gain would be 81 times ID cents, or
approximately 1923.
Hauling With Wagons
Let us see what that amounts to
In year In hauling but q portion OF
the products which traverse the coun-
try roads in wagons. The United
States department of agriculture,
through Its Office Of public roads, has
collected the figures, and they may
be accepted as approximately accur-
ate. During the crop year of 1866,
85, 487. 100000 pounds OF farm pro-
ducts consisting Of barley. corn, cot
ton, naxseed. hemp, hops, oats, beans,
rice, tobacco, wheat and wool. were
hauled from the places where they
originated to shipping points. This
vast weight did not, by any means,
include all Of the crops produced, the
most notable exceptions being truck
products and orchard products, the
tonnage Of those two amounting high
In the millions. Neither did It include
any figures for forest or mine pro-
ducts. nor for those things which go
in wagons from the cities back to
the country districts. Were all these
included, one may easily see what a
vast annual saving would be made.
As 1t Is. however. Of the figures quot
ed above, at a saving of 13 cents per
ton per mile, the cash benefit to the
farmers would be $58.900 900
A Conservative Estimate
Beyond that, however. the inter-
state commerce commission has as
sembled other freight figures, a most
conservative estimate and most lib
|eral deductions from their figures
tending to prove that $50, 90. 000,-
900 pounds are annually hauled. BY
the same method OF figuring as that
adopted above. the hauling Of this
would result In saving Of about
$500, 100000 a year. It would APP
pear that SO vast a sum should not
be annually thrown away. simply be-
cause those responsible for appropri-
ations of money to construct roads
cannot be brought to a realization Of
their tremendous Importance. The
time for an awakening is here, and
the quicker the awakening occurs'the
greater the benefit the farmer will
enjoy.

to buy from your neighbors. By SO do

arising with his animals ana will be

PooR ROADS - GREAT EXPENSE
Scientific American Comments on thu
Economy Of Maintaining Good
ThorOughfares

In a very interesting article con-
corning the political economy Of good
roads, the Scientific American In a
recent issue says: Poor roads impose
an unnecessary financial burden, not
only upon those who most constantly
use them, but upon the men and
women who consume the products
grown In the rural sections and
brought to cities and towns by farm
ers.
No study can be more convincing
than that OF the economic waste plac-
ed upon the shoulders of the 5,000,-
900 people Of this land from the all
most criminally shameful condition
Of 1000 900 miles of road. Every
pound Of farm products brought from
rural sections to thickly-populated
centers has placed upon 1t fictitious
value, because II costs the farmer
more to transport 1t than It would
cost him were the roads In passable
condition. The price Of the lamb chop
that Brooklyn eats for breakfast is
based, not upon the real value Of the
lamb, but upon the cost of bringing
that lamb from the western fields to
the Brooklyn breakfast table. The cost
Of the breakfast roll would be trifling
did 1t not cost the farmer who grew
the wheat from which the roll was
made is cents a bushel more to draw
that wheat from his farm nine miles
to railroad station than it costs to
carry a bushel Of wheat from New
York to Liverpool a distance Of 300
miles, The cost of soft-boiled egg.
which Is also closely related to the
American breakfast. is established by
the cost Of transporting the product
OF the hen to the hotel. and not be-
cause the egg was at all intrinsically
worth what was charged for 1t.
Would Save Money
Everybody who thinks must con-
cede the evident fact that II farmer
with two horses can draw but 900
pounds to market in five hours. he
would save money If with one horse
he could pull 1900 pounds in two
hours. We're the roads in good con-
dition. he could do that and more
Any saving In hauling a ton Of farm
product would bring a benefit. not
alone to the farmer. but to the con
sumer, and If the product hauled eacf
year was large, it is not hard to figure
that the saving would be large
Figures have been assembled to prove
that owing to the frightful condition
OF almost all American roads, 1t cost
rs cents ton mile to haul. TIT
superb roads of the old countrie,
OF Europe make possible the hauling
of farm products at ~ cents tol
mile. Therefore, every ton hauled
costs the American farmer Is cent
more per mile than the farmers o
che old country are forced to pay
The average length Of haul Of farm
products In the United States is 81
miles; therefore. were our roads Al
good as those of France, the farmer

GOOD ROADS ASSURED

Caldwell Tribune
1t lie now beginning to look as
though something tangible in the way
of good country roads will soon be
accomplished in Canyon county. From
every nook and corner comes word OF
the awakening OF the people to =
sense OF the necessity and desirapii-
ity Of negotiable public highways. The
campaign of education waged through
out the country is commencing to
bear fruit. The people everywhere
are interested and 1t Will not be long
now, before we will have before US
Ia practical demonstration OF the util-
ity and benefits OF good roads. In
Caldwell we have with lis Mr.. B. +.
Heidel, government expert on the.
subject. He proposes to build mile.
OF model country road as an illustra-.
ton OF what can be done with the ma
terial available at a reasonable cost.
The Tribune Is convinced that the
cost question was ever a bugaboo in.
the minds OF the people and taxpay-
|ers. 1t is necessary to cor vine, the
people that good roads are profit
able investment at any COST. 1t is
more necessary to convince them that
good roads are obtainable at a rea-
sonable cost. Good roads might be
a paying investment at cost Of $I0,-
900 per mile; but this is beside the
question II you have not and can not
get the $40 900. In this country OF
magnificent distances, sparce settle
ments and new people, 1t Is essential
that the cost of good roads be low.
We are convinced that the people will
find the cost Of first-class country
roads much lower than they antici-
pate.
At this time we simply wish to
commend the work of the Caldwell
Commercial club for going at the
matter in thorough and systematic
manner. Mr.. A. e. Gipson is also de-
serving Of a word of commentator.
The matter of finding out how to
construct good roads in this county In
some manner or other he has brought
to Caldwell the man to tell us how to
build them. Not only will he tell us
how but he will also show us how by
actually building stretch Of model
road. When this is accomplished we
apprehend that little trouble will be
met with In continuing the good road
program. As with many other good
things in this world, we would long
ago have had, had we known how to
get them, good roads. About half
of getting anything is the knowledge
.pf how to get it.

A temporary organization Of the
Association of Pure Food Officials
of the western states" was effected

meeting all of the western states
will be urged to send representatives.
This afternoon committee is at
work drafting the constitution and
4 by laws. A committee composed of
Willard Hansen, E. w. Burkand DR..
G. E. Hyde. the later president Of the
state board of health of Idaho was
appointed to make a study Of the pure
food laws in the western states and to
draw up recommendations to submit
to the legislature of the states with
in the organization.
At the meeting this morning the
| following resolutions were adopted.
Whereas. it being the sentiment
OF the members of the temporary as
ISOLATION that greater good is ac-
complished by working in harmony
and whereas it Is fully realized that
| it is difficult for manufacturers to
carry on business in the various
states and whereas 1t is the desire of
! the members of the association to
help and protect manufacturers:
Therefore, be 1t resolved that this
association make 1t special object
to work toward the uniformity of
laws in the various states, and be 1t
further resolved that the object Of
this association shall be to bring our
state laws as near as possible into
uniformity with the national laws
Resolved, That we appreciate to
the fullest extent the cordial treat
ment and royal reception we have re-
ceived from the manufacturers and
iobbers OF Utah, and assure them that
they have no better friends in their
honest efforts to comply with the law
than those OF us who have been called
ito enforce its provisions.

HENRY G.. KNIGHT,
Committee.
Commissioner Wallis spoke of the
pleasure it was to the Idaho officials
to meet with the manufacturers Of
Utah, in connection with the state
officials of Wyoming. It was the pur-
pose of the Idaho officials to admin.
lister the pure food laws with the OBJ
iect of helping the legitimate manu-
facturer and jobber The laws were
never intended to put the dealer out

Of the law to throw out all the protec-
ton possible. If the manufacturers

Recognizing the, difference of opin-
