IL was driving from Shoshone to Boise City.
about dusk one evening going down the
canon road that leads from Camas prairie to the
headwaters Of the Payette-not a settler for miles

young woman from New England

when, as we swung around a bend in the canon,
a man standing in the middle OF the road about
fifty feet ahead with a Winchester rifle lying In
the hollow OF his arm flung up his hand to me.
He was the first human bsing we had seen since

sing Now 1t happens that It is only the national
government that has the necessary facilities for
keeping tab upon the progress and development
of each years cotton crop. Cotton is raised in
30 many states and over wide an area that no
single firm or individual has the facilities for in
forming himself OF the yield in all sections Of
the cotton belt"
And yet accurate advance information as to
the state OF the maturing crop is OF the utmost
importance to tens of thousands OF American
citizens and other tens of thousands OF people
over seas for. be It known. the whole world de-
pends largely upon America for its cotton. The
business, commercial and financial world likes to
have a peep ahead with reference to any agricul-
tural crop In order to make plans accordingly
but in the case OF cotton such foresight Is espe-
cially vital. For. you understand, the condition
OF crop reflected in the countrywide govern
ment reports tells everybody whether there is to
be a good yield a poor yield of cotton and
this in turn indicates to the grower whether he
will get high price or a low price for his fuzzy
white product. And as the forecast hints to the
manufacturer whether he will get his cotton
cheap or not so It signifies TO him what he must
charge for the completed goods as II comes from
mills. And so all down the line to the ultimate
consumer" the cotton crop reports carry in their
hidden meaning a message Of low prices or high
prices

sets forth that there are over 100 peJ-
pie living at the resort who are con-
stantly In need Of transportation to ana
from the camp. and that the only alter
native open to them Is to walk along
the companys right-of-way to the
Peery camp a distance OF one mile,

the canyon when an additional cents

states that the Hermitage resort Is
three-quarters of a mile further up the
canyon, and that these are the only
stopping places made by the street car
people, which Is taken as persistent dis
elimination against the campers at the

the rate from the Peery camp OF 10
cents is unreasonable, exorbitant, Cx-

fixed by reason OF the monopoly of the
