REPORT OF THE
STATE HIGHWAY
Engineer Smith Surveys Over
400 Miles
EXPLAINS DELAYS IN ACTIVE
CONSTRUCTION
State Expends S65,000 in Actual Con-
struction in Conjunction with Sew
eral Counties.

Fourteen hundred and forty miles of
proposed state highways have been
surveyed between October /, 1918, and
December l, 1914, according to the re-
port of Edward S. Smith, state high
way engineer, submitted Friday to the
state highway commission. This sur
yey was made at an average cost of
$1539 a mile.
Mr.. Smiths report gives in detail
the preliminary work which the COM
mission has accomplished during the
first is months of it's existence Ac-
cording to Mr.. Smith, actual construc-
ton work has been under way only a
short time and there is not at this
time much completed highway. How
ever, total of 233 miles is under con-
struction and so additional miles is
under contract, to be completed next
spring.
Mr.. Smith asserts that, while the
public at large expects great results
the first year it does not realize that
an entirely new department is being
organized and the work requires much
time and much preliminary details,
not only in field operations but in get
ting arrangements made for necessary
funds, selection of routes, securing of
right of ways, advertising and read
vertising of bids and the awarding of
contracts.
The report shows that the Meridian
Nampa portion of the Idaho-Pacific
highway is about so per cent COM
pleted in Ada county and 40 per cent
in Canyon. The Pocatello- Portneuf
road in Bannock county is the only
one which has been entirely complet-
ed, although the Spokane highway is
nearly finished as is the Nampa boule-
ward
The state expended s65,19955 in ac-
tual construction work which includes
the two-thirds which the counties will
have to refund the state. 1t will cost
approximately 1901 ,632 to complete
the work which has already been con-
tracted.
Mr.. Smith begins his report with the
following foreword: There is a tre-
mendous public demand in Idaho for
better highways as evidenced by the
number of inquiries from nearly every
county and highway district in the
state requesting information as how to
proceed to take advantage Of the pro-
visions of the state highway law in
the matter of cooperation between
the state and the counties. During the
past year delegations and committees
have been sent from all parts of the
state to confer with the highway COM
mission advising that their respective
localities are ready to provide the nee
essary appropriations and requesting
that the work be started Immediately"

POPULAR SHOW COMING
Richards & Pringle Company is Real
Minstrel Show.

One swallow does not make sum
mer,' neither does one comedian make
a minstrel show.
Managers of the old school used to
contend that one real actor and fifteen
or sixteen sticks and a band of ten
pieces tit was usually eight was suf-
ficient for a minstrel show, and tnat
the public would accept them. History
proves the truth of their contention,
for the public did accept such organi-
cations; whether or not the public
were satisfied Is a question open to
argument
But there have been vast changes In
the last few years. The day Of the
one-man minstrel show Is over. The
public demand a company Of uniform
excellence
Mistakes are to the wise man but
stepping stones to success. The man
agement of Richards & Pringle's Fh-
nous Georgia MinstrelB were the first
to realize that II minstrelsy was to
thrive and flourish radical and i'm
portant changes were necessary. Such
changes called for the outlay of a con-
siderable fortune, but time and results
have testified to the truth Of their con-
tention- This company stands today
the acknowledged leader. in this
branch of the amusement business, and
no well-informed student of the stage
will challenge this statement. They
travel in their own palace cars and

THEN. AS NOW.

Men whose political memory runs
| back twenty years are finding close
and curious parallel between the Pc.
jlitical conditions of 1895 and those OF
l1915. The country then had demo-
cratic admins tration cleveland s.
The country today has democratic
observation-disclosures. The coun-
try then had a democratic tariff law
the Wilson-Gorman bill The coun-
try today has democratic tariff law
the Underwood Simmons bill. Then,
as now, there was widespread unem-
ployment and deep discomfort all
over the land. Then, as now, the
country had just experienced sweep
ing republican victories in the cleo
lions of the previous loft year
Then, as now, the municipal elections
of the springtime showed the con-
tinued sweep of republican ascend
ancy. Then, as now. the country was
looking forward with eagerness to its
approaching relief from democratic
administration and to the restoration
OF the republican party to power
The political indications OF 1895 found
their fulfillment in the election of an
other republican president in 1916.

CORN DISEASES COSTLY.

Iowa needs TO give special attention
to some of the fungus diseases that
last year made their appearance in
good many corn fields OF the state.
Dr.. L. II. Pammel OF the Iowa sgricul-
tural experiment station at Ames estt-
mates that annually the farmers OF
the state suffer loss amounting to
IS. O0O. 900 because of corn smut, corn
rust and like diseases.
DIR. Pammel's study Of several new
fungus corn diseases last year brought
out a number of valuable facts which
are presented in Circular No. 81, just
issued by the experiment station.
They we're found in corn fields in
Story. Boone, Carroll. Harrison, Potta-
wattamie. Monona, Woodbury., Polk
Lee. Appanoose, Monroe. Davis, Van
Buren,. Marshall and Clay counties,
and perhaps were prevalent in many
others In infected fields, the yield
was reduced from 10 to Is bushels per
acre, or frequently 25 to 30 per cent.
In some fields 10 stalks out of %
were attacked; in others as high as
% out OF 26. From one BADLY infect
ed field only half a crop was secured.
The only rational treatment for
such fungus diseases is rotation OF
crops says DR.. Pammel. Corn should
never follow corn on ground infested
with the disease. FoTnalin at the
rate OF one pint to forty-fve gallons
of water is an effective means of kill
ing the spores. The corn should be
soaked in the solution fifteen I-inutes

THE BUSINESS REVIVAL

He Is indeed a con- irmed pessimist
who cannot find a deal of comfort in
the present business situation in the
United States. We are rapidly climb

which unwise legislation flung us and
in which calamatOus war seemed
for a time to have buried us. The
whole world is coming to us for food
and clothing. and the various prod
ucts of the fields, the mines and the
mills. Our foreign trade is stupendous
in it's magnitude Our financial condi.
ton is excellent; our banks have un.
usually large reserves of cash. and
money is easily obtainable for legiti
mate enterprises, says the St. Louis

Returning never whence began their

They speed their ceaseless way with

Through endless time and limitless

First hurled them forth to spin in

What beauty lures them on through

so that for them is to be to advance?

What good is the little furrow that

not, but once these old skin muscles.
now almost dead after centuries of

those of a horse. A few-a very few
people-can switch their ears like a
dog, and do so instinctively when
startled. and cases do occasionally oc-

In one very interesting case men
