Total credit to convict cost
 of the work-13.2 per cent $11. .36o.03
 The above actual cost figures include in the case of every camp some out side road maintenance work, hauling chert, etc, which should not be in cluded Camp No. 3 notably should be credited with 13 per cent of such out side work, which would make the total actual saving by convict cost over the above free labor contract basis 16.6 per cent, or the sum of S13,598.50.
 In substance this represents work on par with contract basis. less contrac- tors profit.
 In addition to the large and increasing amounts of general road maintenance work annually demanded as above out lined, and which cannot be neglected or set aside, as well as concrete bridge con struction, the following list of new work was authorized by the board during 1915 and is now in progress the approximate estimates of cost therefor being as stated:

DISTRICT COURT JUNE te
Opening Date of June Term Delayed
One Week

County Clerk f. M. Hobbs has
been instructed by his honor, Judge
Bothwell, to give notice to all attor,
neys and persons having business be-
fore the District court that the date
oil opening of the June term in this
county viii be delayed one week
from the date set, The court will
convene in Mountain Home on Mon
day, June 10.
The calendar for this term carries
about the same number of cases as
was up for consideration at the
March term, and among them are
two cases of unusual interest, DO h
being appeals from orders of the
county commissioners. The first Of
these appeals was filed by ]. w.
Caldwell who takes exception to the
order OF the commissioners allowing
the claim of G. h. Wetherell for
some 81 10000 for abstract work
contracted for by the commissioners
in connection with the foreclosure
on tax liens. rhe other appeal was
filed by w. Ii. Evans and has to do
with the salary fixed for the Probate
judge during the coming term of two
years. The position Mr. Evans takes
Is that the amount allowed by the
commissioners, $4,000 per annum, is
not sufficient to adequately com
pensate capable, competent man
for devoting his time to the office
and at such salary the county must
sacrifice, either by getting a man
who is not qualified or by not having
