And Still They Come

Hon. NJ A Bates is a cand date for
the position of forest supervisor, to sue
ceed Emil Grandjean, and it would
seem that Mark has good chance to
land the position. We hope ne does.
Mark Is born forester and lover of ma
ture and spends more time in the soli-
tudes OF forest and stream than he does
in the sanctum sanctorum of the Parma
Herald
Mark is a sterling democrat of the
old school without any OF the frills.
But that doesn't count much in the Job
he is after. We would be found boost
ing for him at this juncture if he were
the rankest republican that ever ranked.
But the fact remains that being a DEM
ocrat and good one he is eligible under
modern political standards for a posi-.
ton for which he is eminently suited.
1t has been the writer's privilege to
accompany the sage of Parma on some
of his trips into the wilds of the lakes.
Here he becomes an entirely different
being. He is in his element. To see
him catch trout is liberal education in
ichthyology.
He is suited for the job, the job suits
him, and he deserves the recognition.
Here's hoping, Mark -Owyhee Mug.

Boise county into two counties The
western half is fighting to break away
from the eastern half and the county
seat fight in the late election resulted in

to vote the democratic ticket at the pri-
maries which resulted in county divis
ion candidates being nominated.
Cassia county may be divided al
though the fight which is on there is
said to show but little on the surface
but is very deepseated. Albion the
present county seat will retain the ceur,
house of old Cassia county and the new
county will have it's headquarters at
either Oakley or Burley whichever town
puts up the best fight. This county di-
vision fight has originated over the fact
| .- I bs.
road Oakley and Burley are both on
the railroad and claim they should be
considered as being more accessible
than Albion and therefore have desired
the county seat in the past. To settle
this county seat fight it is possible that
county division may be asked.
There has been a persistent rumor
during the last six months that Ada
county was going to get into the county
division fights, too There has been &
great amount Of talk that new county

,valse Of Good Roads

The value Of good roads be-
comes evident when we look at.
the financial side OF the problem.
The cost Of hauling one ton one
mile is nine cents in Germany and
twenty-five cents in the United
States, the difference is largely
one OF road bed. II we apply
these figures to hauling, say
5000 bushels Of wheat 5 miles,
the cost in Europe would be
$67.5O, in the United States
$1S7.5O, or $12O more. 1t will
be safe to say that where 5000
bushels OF wheat is raised a. much
more hauling will be done which
would represent another $3.50
or $240, the extra outlay caus-
ed by poor roads. This is only
one item. Good roads increase
the value Of the land. $500 an
