What Bad Roads Cost Farmers.

The Department of Agriculture estimates the
cost OF moving produce from the farm to market at
from II to 15 cents ton per mile over good concrete
graveled roads, and at 25 to 80 cents ton per mile
over bad dirt roads.
Thirty thousand tons of wheat have been ship
ped from American Falls this year. Estimating the
average distance this was hauled at fifteen miles,
makes 100000 ton-mes of hauling To see what this
hauling costs the farmers, according to the estimate
of the department of agriculture, multiply the
ber of ton-miles by the difference in cost over good
and over bad roads, 10 cents mile makes the start
ling figure of $45,000 To be conservative we will
reduce this one half
The roads of this county can certainly be classed
as bad, especially during the wheat hauling season.
We will use the governments highest estimate for
good roads, Is cents per ton per mile and reduce its
cost over bad roads to 20 cents mile, making the
difference of cost between good roads and bad only
five cents ton per mile -Four hundred and fifty
thousand ton-miles at cents make total of
22,50O This amount would pay the interest on a
$1800O0 bond issue, provide sinking fund of per
cent, and have a surplus of $4,000.
Say that we need 100000 to build good roads
A bond issue at six per cent would make an annual
interest charge of $4,000 five per cent sinking
fund would add $4,000 more making total of SILL
OOO Deduct this from S22, 800, the governments
than over good, and it leaves balance of $115OO
that farmers paying in direct and indirect
hauling charges more than would be necessary if we
bonded and built good roads
With good roads once built, their expense for
up-keep would not be greet as is now annually
paid for our present eNcnsssy u, s "

checks on the local banks. He is now
languishing In the county jail and

time for repentance.
A few minutes before six o'clock
Monday evening the young man, whose

Store and proceeded to purchase mer-
chandise to the amount OF $15.75, for

he attached the name, McGee.

the street TO the Golden Rule, and by
the time he got there he had changed
his name TO McNee. and his banking
business had been changed from the
First National to the Evans State.
Here McNee secured a maekinaw and
made his check large enough to draw
down a couple OF dollars IN change.

short lived. however. for Mr.. Brad

HOW AMERICAN FALLS
CELEBRATED FLOUR is MADE
Manager Ehrlich, of the American
Falls Milling Company, Explains
Process to W0man's Club.

/ american Falls -four Is know far
and wide for its excellence. The
quality of wheat grown here is usual
I ly given credit for its superiority but
Manager Ehrlich of the American
Falls Milling company must be given
n large measure of credit for knowing
how TO make the most out of the best
material. Mr. Ehrlich addressed the
civic section of the American Falls
Womans Club at It's meeting on Fri
day of last week on the manufacture
of flour
The company. he said used nothing
but hard wheat, or Turkey Red. and
had used no other kind for more than
a year. When he took charge of the
mill he had laboratory tests made at
Minneapolis, and found that mixture
of rs per cent hard wheat flour aud 25
per cent soft wheat flour, made the
largest loaf The next year the best
results were secured by using only
5 per cent of the soft wheat aour, and
since that time the hard wheat -four
alone had given the best results. The
mill has since installed laboratory
and makes frequent tests to deter
mine how TO keep the quality OF the
product up to Its high standard. Flour
made from hard wheat averages $40
loaves Of bread to the barrel. while the
soft wheat -four averages only 2S3 to
the barrel The hard wheat -four
makes a larger loaf by eleven cubic
inches, than -four made from soft
wheat, therefore making the hard
wheat flour the cheapest az well rs the
best, for either family or bakery pur-
poses.
In the manufacture of -four Mr.
Ehrlich explained that the wheat used
In It's manufacture was cleaned four
times, then washed and dried. making
II perfectly clean and sanitary before
II went through the rollers. There
Is only one other mill IN this part OF
the state, he said In answer to a Ques-
ton. that washed It's wheat before

The wheat Is reduced fourteen times,
with from three to five separations, at
each reduction. Twenty-four distinct
grades of -four are produced by this
process, which are blended into three
grades.
The speaker explained how he made
bread to test the -four, explaining the
process In detail and tinged II with
delicate humor that added much
TO its interest
He advised the ladies that II they

of severe poverty and deprivation
Their cattle were as poor as any
have ever seen, They stayed all night
at the ranch and the next day the men
took horses and rode into the valley
They returned in the evening highly
elated. believing they had found
veritable Paradise. With all the land
of the entire valley to chose from,
with the exception of the place settled
upon by Mr.. Valdez, il always i'm
pressed me that they located on
about the very poorest there was.
They did not believe in crowding in
those days, so this party left Valdez
in entire possession of the east fork
of the creek, and went up the south
fork Adshead located about five
miles beyond Rockland on land that
is not near as good as the average
for the valley. Taysom located on

Brown got all of itValdez did not do
much better, having taken about the
worst niece on the east fork. The
