CHANGE METHOD
OF ROAD WAGES

The county commissioners have
changed the method of payment for
work on the county roads from the
day system to the hour system, and
wages for this year will be as fol-
lows:
One man, 25 cents per hour; man
and team. SO cents per hour, and 20
cents for each additional team fur
nished by the same party; road over
GERS, 321z cents per hour; paid quar-
terly as other salaries.
These rates make payment prac-
tically the same as before, but make
more accurate small divisions of time
and permit longer hours than under
the former system based on an eight
hour day.
The salaries of court bailiffs was
set at $3.50 per day while on duty.

SMALL PAPERS MAY SUSPEND
Publishers Fear Shutdown Because Of
Shortage in News Print Supply

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Announce-
ment has been made by the federal
trade commission that while the COM
missions print paper investigation is
not yet completed, sufficient informa-
ton is at hand to show that large
number of the smaller dailies and
weeklies are paying from to 8 cents
pound for their news print paper
in comparison with a price from to 5
cents at the beginning of 1916. Re
ports of the increasing shortage of
paper have made these publishers
fearful lest they be forced to sus-
pend publication because of the failure
of their paper supply or the prohib-
tive price which they are compelled
to pay.

SCHEME TO SAVE 100000

Bonds to State Banks Reducing
Interest

BOISE, Jan. PA saving of $780,
600 in interest on the s1000.000 road
bond issue asked for by the state
highway department can be effected
if the legislature will enact measure
permitting the state banks of Idaho
to invest per cent of reserve funds
in these bonds. That, in brief, is the
suggestion of John w. Eagleson, state
treasurer. who says it would mean the
sale in Idaho of all state bonds and
reduce the rate of interest on them
from to 31a per cent. He has writ
ten letters to the 1870 state banks
asking their opinion of such a plan.

President Brannon delivered the ad-

PLANTATION of the functions of the uni
versity which, he stated, is not local
but a state institution dedicated to
the moral welfare of the state. He
explained how the many auxiliary in
stitutions of the university over the
state and the extension departments
staff are carrying into every nook and
corner of Idaho the benefits accruing
from the presence of the university.

PLAY W.S.C. HERE
FRIDAY EVENING

| When the Idaho basket ball team
meets w. S. c. Friday night, the local
fans hope to see the fast-going col
lege team stopned.
Last year this same Aggregation
won the Northwest championship
This year they have already defeated
the University of Washington four
times, Whitman college twice, and
the Spokane Athletic club once.
Idaho has defeated Gonzaga on her
own f1oor--the first team from the
local institution that ever turned the
trick. Gonzaga in turn defeated the
Oklahoma team now touring the west
The latter team had lost only four
games out of fifty. w. s. c. and
Idaho each beat Whitman college by
similar scores.
Since their trip into Montana the
local team has been working at fast
clip.
Coach Edmundson expects a large
crowd at the game Friday evening,
and plenty of excitement. The col
lege band will play, and it is quite
possible, he states, that prelimin-
ary game will be arranged between
the Short Horns" and the w. S. c.
Props so that those who come early
will be entertained.
The Idaho lineup will probably be
as follows: Blackmer and Grey, for
wards; Martinson, center; H. Hyde,
captain, and Telford or Thomas,
guards.

MEN CROWDED IN

BUT CONDITIONS IN BARRACKS
ARE NOT AS BAD AS AT FIRST
REPORTED, SAYS MR. WALKER

BOISE, Jan. 24.-The committee OF
the senate and lower house did not re-
port yesterday on conditions at the
Boise barracks. The joint committees
met Monday afternoon and secured all
available information but no official
report has been obtained.
That some of the companies went
home for week at holiday time, that
measles broke out in camp and quar-
antine was necessary, and that the
men are too much crowded to permit
a hasty inventory of the regiments
equipment are cited as reasons for de-
lay in rehabilitation.
There is no doubt that the condi-
tions at the barracks are not nearly

tor Walker of Boundary county. "A

own account. This morning he stated:
"The conditions are crowded. There is
no doubt about it. 1 went to see the
worst places. In one room about 70

hunks. In this room a good fire could
not be kept up on account of heat
ing facilities and lack of fuel. The
food ! found to be of the best quail
ity with the exception possibly of cof-
fee, and in some places the food gets
cooled off before it is eaten. l do not
think the local authorities are respon-
sible in any way for the detention of
