From all over the east where the
road laws are similar to ours at the

complaint about the vast amount of
money being spent OH the roads with
no beneficial results.
We have before us Nebraska
paper which tells the tale about as
we will be called upon to tell it ten
years hence if the present system is
adhered to. 1t says:

Deputies from the office of pure food
inspector Wallis visited Jerome man
nnunced last week, and proceeded al
once To investigate general conditions as
relating to our mercantile houses, and
other conditions touching upon the ques-
tion of sanitation, etc.
We are pleased Ia state that after u
thorough investigation OF matters here, u
clean bill OF health was given Jerome.
Our sister town of Shoshone however did
not fare AS well, and as result of the
visit OF the deputies there, general havoc
prevailed, and at the conclusion oi his
labors, about every butcher shop and
boarding house in the town was COM
PEELED To close its doors, and several
other reforms oi sanitary nature were
ordered.
Inspector Wallis is one who believes in
enforcing the laws that have bearing

this he certainly has the support oI tn,

Entertained.

Jerome was honored last Saturday by
a visit from several Of the editors OF
Southern Idaho, who came here upon
the invitation Of Maj Fred r. Reed.
The object OF this meeting was not for
the particular purpose Of boosting Jerome
or the North Side tract but was CON
ceived in the mind OF the open hearted
Major, that the boys might get together
and talk over matters Of paramount in
terest, not only to this immediate vicinity,
but to all portions OF Southern Idaho,
and We believe that after hearing the ex-
piessOns from the various visitors, and
noting the general good feeling that was
manifested among the fraternity, the
Maj. could not help but feel that his la
bors In bringing about this meeting had
not been in vain. There was not as
been anticipated, but the enthusiasm
shown 10y those present in building NJ
