THE GOOD ROADS FEVER.
steps Already Put on Foot for the
Improvement of the Roads in
This Section.

Our short reference last week to
the matter of improving the roads In
the jerome section has borne fruit
sooner than we expected. At a meet
ing Of the Business Mems Association
held last Thursday evening the ques-
tion of improving the roads was
brought up, and in the discussion a
plan was evolved whereby 1t was
thought that much good could be ac-
complished by designating a good
roads day, and inviting the farmers
70 turn out and do some work on the
bad places in their respective neigh
borhoods. To this end a committee
consisting OF P. K. Sigsbee. r. S. Fra
zer, l.. G. Phillips and Ed Gill were
appointed to formulate the arrange
ments for such a plan, and they are
now at work on the same. A meet
ing was held last evening, the de-
tails of which will be found on the
local page.
The plan as promulgated is very
commendable one and if entered into
! by the farmers in general will re-
suit in much good being done tenn
porarily to the roads tributary to this
place. 1t will serve 10 relieve to
some extent the burdens of the high
way commissioners especially, until
such time as some means are pro-
vided whereby they can go ahead and
build permanent roads, which OF
course was the object in view at the
time the highway district was organ
lied.
The various highway districts
throughout this section of the state
are going ahead with the good roads
work, and the result of their work
can be seen by taking a short triI
over the country. Jerome cannot af
ford 10 be behind her neighbors II
this matter and the agitation for gooC
roads should not abate until We hav'
trunk lines leading into this tow
from every direction, and with tn
feeders leading to the trunk lines pu
= into condition whereby the farme
can haul full load of produce t
town.

The year 1915 promises to be
most remarkable one in the dairy
world. Already two new world rec
ords have been made one by a Geurn-
s,y and another by Holstein. The
champion of today is the Holstein-
rriesian. Fienderne Holigen Fays.
Her output in three hundred sixty
five days was 24.6l29 pounds milk
and 11l6.O5 pounds butter fat. which
according to the Holstein per cent
approXimates 1902 pounds butter
which is so pounds more than the
low weighed when she started in
the test There are hundreds of COWS
of the different breeds on test and
even now there are those checking Ut
production who have hope of surpas-
sing HE new record. One very nat
urally wonders whether there is any
limit to the quantity of butter anC
milk that a COW may produce.-Ex

fact that this creamery was organ
lied last October with only "A few
patrons, each patron having but
few COWS. The first month, last Oct
ober. this plant made 1000 pounds of
butter. Last month March. $1,000
pounds of butter were made in this
factory. This creamery now has 268
patrons and over 1000 dairy COWS,
with constant increases in patrons
and COWS.
That there are "A sufficient number
OF COWS in the jerome district TO as
sure the success OF creamery has
been fully demonstrated. and it only
remains for the owners of these cows
to become identified with the under
taking. and it is bound to succeed
iSQm the start
This creamery question is also one
OF vast importance to the busincss S
men Of the town as well as the farm
ers. With a creamery here in opera

no small significance. The Co-opr-
rative creamery not long since estab-
lished at Payette. last month paid oul
over $4,000 to the dairymen OF tha'
section. which is considered as al
excellent showing for new concern
Our business men should get behins
this proposition and explain its bene

Home Industry Week.

From all over the state we hear OF
only the most satisfactory results
that have followed Home Industry
Week. No one questions the great
good that results from this attempt
to get the citizens of the state edu-
Gated to the practice of using home
products The plan. however. as
adopted in this state leads the Cald-
we'll Tribune to urge that the plan
be extended to cover the entire Unit
ed States. in the following editorial:
Once year. with more or less
eclat. the people of Idaho put forth
an effort to become acquainted with
Idaho products. The occasion is call
ed Home Industry Week. Ii is very
good idea and should be kept in use
about So weeks in the year. But one
week is a good deal better than none.

office on Wednesday, is the first di-
rector who has ever made a tour of
inspection in the west, so far as
known. says the Statesman. He
came in quietly, expressed his pleas
ure at finding Boise such a pretty
city and the assay Office so nicely To-
Gated and kept, and proceeded on his
way westward without ripple. He
is an af1able gentleman and shows
deep interest in his department Mr..
Wooley said he proposed to visit all
the mints and assay offices once
year, which will keep him pretty
busy He believes the country is on
the verge of great prosperity and pre-
diets a tremendous business revival
within the next six months.
In an interview in Salt Lake City

The bitterness in which those now
in the minority on the horticultural
board and those backing them hold
the governor. it is said. has actually
resulted in the belief on their part
they can carry their fight TO this sue

lous plan has actually been consider

teriy inclined are firmly OF the belief
il is possible 70 accomplish it.
While many who have heard the
reported plan are inclined to the be-
lief that il will result in complete
collapse. they admit that the princi'
pals behind the attacks on the gov
ernOr and his every act are abou

ltuing. even TO go so far as an attempt

4 Governor Without Power.

A short time ago the republican
press was busy telling the people OF
the state that the governor could not
keep his promises simply because he
has no power; that he Is but one
member of numerous boards having
several members and that the state
is governed by these boards. They
were also busy. just after his inaugu-
ration telling how disappointed the
governor was at finding how limited
his power was and how unable he
was finding himself to do the things
he had promised to do We all re-
member these stories Now. however.
the same newspapers are just as busy
telling how everything depends upon
the governor: how impossible il is for
anything TO be done without him and
how he is tieing everything up be
cause of his failure to act Why, ac-
cording to the daily morning KOB
even the school funds of the state
cannot be made TO draw interest be
lcause the governor prevents it

'Tt has been interesting to trace the

been reported IL their announcements
as a German victory ana dsorderly
flight on the part of the Russians The
following day the announcement would
say that tn. German army was sue
cessfully resisting the pressure of the
Russians and on the third day declara-
had great forces AT their disposa! in
the region in question. Such Sc
quence and method of reporting has
heen noticed in the German announce
ments on three different occasions dur
ing the thirty days fighting on the
River DnieSter.
