NEED OF WORK ON
ROADS IS CITED
Open Letter Addressed to
County Commissioners
by Farmers Club.

Meridian. Oct 26.-That the gravel
road running directly south of this
place needs resuriacing and that the
work should be done before the water
from the winter rains penetrates the
coarse gravel and heavy loads passing
over the road injure the roadbed, is
the position of the Farmers Home club,
given publicity at their meeting of
Sept. 20. The position taken by the
club is in the nature of an open letter
to the county commissioners of Ada
county and is as follows:
Meridian, Ida, Oct 20.
To the honorable board of county
commissioners of Ada county. Idaho !.
The members of the Home club of
Farmers respectfully desire to call your
attention to the condition of the gravel
road running directly south from Meri-
dian AS we all reside either directly on
or adjacent to this splendid public
thoroughfare and directly receive more
or less benefit from it's construction we
wish to state that we appreciate the
same very highly and hope to see 1t
continued in the future in the same
fine condition as in the past two years.
1t Is an opinion. however, Of ours
that at the present this extremely
heavily Travelled road Is in urgent need
of resurfacing, the fine surfaceing ma =
terial being gone. of course the gravel
is up to the surface and 1t is our con-
viction that when the water from the
winter rains penetrate this coarse
gravel, heavy loads in passing over
will dislodge and finally break through
this coarse material and permanently
in5ure the roadbed.
AS we are all tax payers and vitally
interested In the economical operation
of the county's affairs, and believing
that comparatively small amount of
work this fall will put the road In fine
condition to stand up during the wet
season, and save the heavy expense of
reconstruction, which in our opinion Is
inevitable, If this matter is neglected,
we take the liberty to present this
matter for your careful consideration.
Respectfully yours,
FARMERS HOME CLUB.

U. r. Milspaugh,

REMOVAL WILL Be
MADE PERMANENT
BY COURT ORDER
Judge Bryan Announces
Ruling in the Christopher
Case-Appeal to Supreme
Court Probable.

Caldwell, Oct. 26.-In letters writ
ten yesterday to III. A. Griffiths of this
city, county attorney for Canyon coun-
ty, and w. A. Stone Of this city; at
torney for the recently deposed county
assessor, A. o. Christopher. Judge Ed
ward L. Bryan of the district court for
Canyon county, advised that an order
would be issued by the court for the
permanent removal from the county
assessors office of Christopher,
through the custer proceedings recent
ly instituted. christopher was temper
arily removed from his office for al
legged failure to conform to the laws
in reference to making reports to the
county at regular intervals.
Christopher is a Republican in poll
tics and was reelected to his office
for the third time two years ago. Pre-
vious to the filing of the complaints
against him a few months ago, his
official integrity never had been ques-
toned and he has possessed a remark =
able political strength in this county,
having been reelected in this county
two years ago when almost all the Re-
publican ticket was defeated.
1t is probable that an appeal will be
taken to the state supreme court from
Judge Bryan's order. The order to
be issued is in no wise connected with
the criminal actions instituted against
the former official by County Attorney
Griffiths. The amount which Christie
pher is alleged to be short in his set
tlement with the county Is in excess of
10000

ANOTHER LOAN TO
GREAT BRITAIN TO
Be MADE AT ONCE
Announcement of the Con-
clusion of Negotiations Is
Made by j. P. Morgan &
Co., of New York.

New York, Oct. 26.-Officiai an
nouncement was made late yesterday
by ]. p. Morgan & Co., that new Bril-
fish loan by American bankers, ag-
gregating s300,000,000. had been ar
ranged. 1t will bear interest as 5R
per cent and is payable in two install
ments. one at three years and one of
five years.
An interesting feature of the loan,
according to the announcement, is
that because of the easy money mar
ket here it was arranged in advance
of the time contemplated by the Brit
ish government. Another is that it
is expected to cause for a time at least
a cessation of the enormous inflow Of
gold to this country, which is said to
have caused apprehension in banking
circles of late because of danger of in
flation and fictitious values.
]. p. Morgan sailed for England re-
Gently to arrange the loan and still is
there.
AUTHORIZED TO PROCEED.
"A new British government loan Of
fering." says the statement, had not
been in contemplation at the present
time, but the prevailing ease of money
and the difficulty which the banks are
having in profitably employing their
funds has led us to indicate to the
British government that the present is
a favorable time for it to establish
additional credits in America. even
though such credits may not be i'm
mediately required. Accordingly, the
British treasury has today accepted
the views of the American bankers
and has authorized them to proceed.
The British treasury has of late re-
newed its shipments of gold to this
country upon a large scale. This con-
tinued influx of the metal has caused
some concern in the banking COM
munity, and 1t is believed that the is
suance of the proposed loan will tend
to cause at least a temporary cessa-
ton in gold imports
Final details have not been arrang-
ed. but the notes to be issued will be
amply secured by high grade COL
lateral"

claim the conditions are different than
when the case was originally presented.
The slides in the car have not been
removed and ships engaged in passing
through it with commerce are rapidly
drifting into foreign trade.
The commission ordered a raise in
freight rates classified as per cent
from Chicago, Is per cent from Pitts
burg, 25 per cent from New York with
no increases from Missouri river points
west. On the long haul under this
order the charge for freight could not
be more than I per cent from Chicago
added to the intermountain haul and
that applied to the other classifications
The carriers claim that many com
modities designated under schedule d
caused great deal of competition and
they are entitled to a greater percent
age in rates. They were allowed what
are known as fixed arbitraries. Where
the rate from Missouri river points to
the Pacific coast was less than rs cents
the rate to intermediate territory was
not to exceed 70 cents but when II ex-
ceeded rs cents then the rate to inter
mediate territory was not to exceed
the rate to the Pacific coast. From
points east of the Missouri river the
commission allowed fixed arbitraries or
rates from Chicago. Pittsburg and New
York which were higher than the 7, Ii
and 25 per cent. The fixed arbitraries
were later discontinued The western
carriers now want the original order
modified on the basis of fixed arbi-
traries.
The action Of the interstate com
merce commission is OF unusual i'm |
portance to intermountain shippers
and the application of the railroads win
be contested at the hearings to be held.
