MERIDIAN GETS THE STATE HIGHWAY
This Means An Important Road, Running Along First
Street, Instead of Missing the Town by Following
the Section Line Half Mile North
Insures the Growth of Meridian

afternoon by the state highway
commission, which has been in
session and had the matter under
consideration since Monday.
Two routes for the state high.
way down the Boise valley from
the capital to Nampa we're con
sidered by the board. These
routes were the same as far as NJ
ridian leaving Boise via the con
crete road past the fair grounds.
and due west along the macadam
highway to the Forth limits of the
town of Meridian.
The selection of route from
Meridian to Nempa aroused con-
siderable contention, and citizens
of Nampa, of Meridian and ranch
ers of the McDermott- Victory
Soma section appeared before the
state commission to support claims
for their three respective routes.
The board after making a per-
sonal inspection of the proposed
routes between Boise and Nampa
taking into consideration h g
number of people to be served by
The road, aud the further fact that
certain business men Of Nampa
have agreed to stand the expense
OF reducing the grade Of the route
over the hill north Of Nampa to a
maximum grade Of > per cent,
unanimously decided that h e
state road down the valley be
located as follows;
Starting from Boise, proceeding
west along the present concrete
and macadam road to the north
limits Of Meridian, thence south
through Meridian one mile, thence
west along the present section line
road to the northeast corner ol
section Is, township 3 north, range
| west; thence south along the
section line for distance of one
and one-quarter miles to an inter
section with the present road run
ming east from Nampa; thence
west on said road to Nampa From
Nampa to Caldwell the route fol
lows the boulevard, paralleling tht
Idaho Traction line.

The news of the selection of the
"route through Meridian" came
too late for mention in last week 9
Times, but WAS received with more
evident satisfaction by the people
than anything that has occurred
for many day.
The selection Of First street as
the route through Meridian means
that this will need to be opened
mp through the Nonrse land, and
it is understood that Mr.. Nonrse
will cooperate with the city in get
ting the matter settled in salts
factory manner. The new street
starting from Harry Champlin's
residence and extending north foI
the half mile to the present county
road, will open up new and de.
sirable residence district.
The new state highway, after
leaving Meridian, will follow the
Interurban line practically all the
way to Caldwell via Nampa.
That the state highway did not
go half mile north Of town anc
practically pass ne by" was due
largely to some very energetic
work done by the business men 81
Meridian. They appeared before
the board at Boise, and presented
an able argument, contending tina
the Meridian way would no
only properly serve Meridian ant
| Nampa but would be accessible t
the greater number Of farmers

dressed the board were: Mayo

LOST RESOLUTION DIS
COVERED IN WASTE BASKET

Stating it modestly, there was
some earelessness ON the part Of at
taches of the last SESSION of the legis-
lature. A joint and concurrent reso-
luton amending the constitution, SO
as to leave out the Official oath all that
part which makes an official swear a
lot about not fighting duels, nor TAX.
ing part in duels, etc, was passed by
the legislature two years ago, properly
signed, advertised, and published In
the statutes. At the last session, il
was again up, according to the law in
such cases and was passed without op-
position. But it did not appear in
the final papers Of the session. No one
having any ak to grind, little atten-
tion was given to the disappearance
After the Legislative business was ali
over, and the Tax commission had
been using the assembly chamber for
Offices for months, L. F. Adamson, in
getting ready to move to other quart
ers, found the bill among a lot of old
papers. He took the resolution to
Governor Oddie, who signed it, and
transmitted it to the secretary of
state. The bill not coming to the
secretary in the regular way, and at
the regular time, he asked Attorney
General Thatcher for an opinion as
to whether it was sufficiently regular
to be put on the official ballot to be
voted for at the coming election. Yes
terday Mr.. Thatcher handed him his
opinion in writing, saying in sub
stance that, though the amendment
had not been properly transmitted the

that it had been passed, the ayes noes

1918 A RECORD YEAR IN
TIMBER PRE8ERvATION

The most notable progress yet re-
corded in the chemical treatment OF
timber to prevent decay was made in
1918, according to report recently
issued by the American Wood Pre-
servers association in cooperation
with the forest service of the depart
ment of agriculture.
The report states that 9s wood-pre-
serving plants in 1913 consumed over
los million gallons of creosote oil, 70
million pounds of dry zinc chloride,
and nearly four million gallons of 9th
er LIQUID preservatives. With these
the plants treated over 153 million
cubic feet Of timber, or about % per
cent more than in 1919. The output
from additional plants nnrecorded
would increase the totals given.
Impregnation Of wood with oils and
chemicals to increase its resistance to
decay and insect attack, the report
goes on to say, is an industry which
has become important in the United
States only in recent years. In Great
Britain and most Oh the European
countries practically every wooden
cross-tie and telephone or telegraph
pole receives preservative treatment
In the United States less than 30 pei
cent Of the 1875 million cross-ties an.
nually consumed are treated, and the
pr oper treatment of an annual con
sumption of four million poles may
be said to have scarcely commenced
Real progress in the United States
dates from 1892, when the kysnizinf
process, using bichlorides Of mercury
was developed. In 1897 two othe
processes were introduced. the Bur
nett process using zinc chloride, ant
the Bethel process using coal Ia
creosote. These last processes are
very largely in use today.
The idea of timber preservation a
first made very slow growth in this
country, on account of the large sup
ply Of cheap and durable timbers and
the general disregard shown towart
economy in the use Of natural re
sources. In 1885 there were only
three pressure plants in the United
States; and in 1895 only 10. since
then, however, the industry has grow
rapidly; in 1919 there were III

new SYSTEM OF
mining TAXATION

The State Tax commission has just
issued copies of its new resolution
specifying how the proceeds of mines
shall be determined and how mining
assessments shall jbe levied. The
rule follows:
"The net proceeds of any mine
shall be determined as follows: From
the actual value of the gross yield in
any quarter-year shall be deducted
the following items of expense incur
red in the same quarter:
"O Management: All ordinary
and necessary administrative expense,
excepting: (a) Payments on principal
or interest on bonds or other in
debtedness (b) The expense Of main
tanning Offices outside Of the state Of
Nevada.
(2) Mining: All ordinary and
necessary expenditures actually made
for mining exclusive of general or
administrative expenses) including
the cost of contemporaneous develop
ment and exploration of the mine
itself.
"(3) Transportation: (a) Where
the transportation facilities used in
conveying the mine products from
the mine to the place of reduction or
sale are owned or controlled directly
or indirectly by the company: The
actual cost of operating such plant
facilities, exclusive of general or ad-
ministrative expenses. (b) Where the
mine products are treated in reduction
works owned or controlled directly or
indirectly by the mining company:
The actual expense of reduction or
treatment or sale of the said pro-
ducts.
"The actual necessary expenditures
for the maintenance and repair of
mine, transportation and milling or
reduction plants may be included in
the foregoing deductions but no
charge whatever for depreciation or
the redemption of any investment in
mine ground, development done prior
to the quarter for which the report is
made, or plant construction shall be
allowed.
"sThe sums of items (D, (2), (3)
and az shall constitute the Offset de-
ductions against the value of the
gross yield, and the difference in
each case between the said gross
yleiQ anu tut Sdiu SUM Shall b6 tcCfn-
ed the net proceeds for the purpose of
taxation.
"To equalize the mine assessment
with that of other property, 60 per
cent Of the net proceeds determined
as provided in the foregoing shall be
assessed-this rule applying to all
mines from which the ore is extracted
directly by the owners. In the case
of producing leases the lessee shall
be entitled to deduct, in addition to
the items enumerated, the royalties
actually paid to the lessor, but royal
ties received by any lessor shall be
reported separate from other receipts
and 60 per cent thereof shall be as
sesed with no deduction whatever.

SECURE LEASE ON
HAYSTACK Mine

j. L. Stafford is in Winnemucca
Stafford is a mine examiner and ex.
pert Of repute Latterly he has be.
come interested in Haystack and il
in Winnemucca getting supplies,
working tools and an armstrong hoist
to be installed on the lease which he,
s E. Montgomery and j. H. Douglass
have acquired at Haystaek on the
Truitt Mayday No. 2 claim. Mr.. SAT-
ford expresses himself positively to
the effect that Haystack is one Of the
best showings and finest prospective
districts he has sen in his long career
as q field man and mine engineer
"The DISTRICT he said, "from any
viewpoint, 10 one of merit. There are
ut least to prospects over the wide
area which show veins which give ex-
cellent pannine returns. Three prop
critics show distinct marks of mine
features because most advanced in
work. The Sam Watkins Bolam
gound, q nile from the original
strike, is whopper of showing. In
sinking a shaft 80 feet the workers
have taken out half car of $50 ore.
The original company is taking out
shipping ore and will ship next week.
At present the Austin and Murray
leases are each shipping a car of ore
that will run from $40 to 800 per
ton. This development shows con-
slant improvement.
ITO miy mind the very best show
ing in prospective is ON the Truitt
ground, about one half mile from the
original strike. It is on the Truitt
Mayday No. 2 that Montgomery,
Douglas and myself have the lease

sive showing we have made here
with q little work. We have stripped
