For Milady Of The Wheel
By AGNES c. BARLEY.

= INDIVIDUALITY. eccentricity and
various other characteristics of
i feminine charms have all had their
influence in the development Of pres
emit day motor cars. The massive up
holstering of the limousine. the DASH
Ing lines Of the sport roadster, and
the clever arrangement of all clover
leaf models have all arrived upon
the market. merely at the beck and
call of the enthusiastic and fair mo-
torist. But aside from these qualities,
there is still another feature Of fem
mime personality whose power has
been reflected quite prominently in
the motor world in general. this be-
ing the undeniable influence Of per-
sonal hobbies" and fortunately for
the motor industry, the hobby or pet
diversion" OF many women today is
their car.
There are some women whose crav-
ing OF the inner self demands beauti-
ful hats OF elegant boots or some
other particular article upon which all
their admiration and desires are cen
tered They haunt the millinery
shops or the boOteries. They purchase
a new model which they have recent
" discovered and which is Just their
style" or at regular intervals they
take their old bonnet to the milliner
to have a dainty flower added or a bit
of soft velvet. or if their exhilaration
is allowed TO soar to its utmost limit
they leave the shop triumphantly be-
hated in a lovely bonnet crowned
with bird OF paradise.
For the women who regard their
car as the object ftheir pleasure
and pride, there is no end TO the num-
Der of improvements and equipments
which they are continually bestOwing
upon the car for the sake Of its ap-
pearance and convenience in handling.
Not only are they sustaining the mar
ket of such articles but they are con-
stantly creating new ideas for de-
signers to work out. Their desires
are the draftman's guides and mo-
tor dealers in general solicit these
personal demands from the drivers of
their cars that they may keep full
filling each request by adding more
and more advantages to the list of
perfecting qualities OF their particu-
lar make
II is only true then that the woman
whose hobby or quaint little touches
about her car, for the latest device
and accessories or for special paint
work are very valuable asests to the

1914, 1915 and 1916 by reason of ad-
ditional appropriations this work has
been accomplished in part, with the
above result. 1t is probable that the
company has about completed the selec-
tions of all lands that will come with
in the grant limits.
AS the railroad was constructed in
1888 for all these subsequent years this
land has remained non taxable, due to
the failure to make surveys. 1t is not
important now to place the blame for
this delay, but instead satisfaction
should be felt that the land has finally
been selected and now become isolated
from the forest reserve and subject to
taxation. The development is also un-
doubtedly important in the matter of the
plans long entertained by the Northern
Pacific for building its through line
from Missoula through the Clearwater
country. 1t would now not have to
traverse so much forest reserve country,
but be serving its own lands in large
part, whether the route be by the Mid
die Fork or the North Fork.
AS the valuation of Clearwater
county is now about $l0,000,000 it will
be seen that it will be increased to
probably $11,OOO,000. The average
price of this class of property in the
different counties has been from $l2 to
as high as $15 per acre. This means
that taxation will be lighter on the
residents of the county and the lands
will share in the responsibility of meet
ing road and school and other levies.
The situation should tend to encourage
the Clearwater good roads move and
should also further enlist interest there
in the through state highway to
Montana.
The lands selected in February and
October will go on this year tax rolls,
while the selections made this week will
be added next yeareLewiston Tri-

SOLDIERS GAIN ON

SAYS REPORT
BARRACKS REPORT NOW FILED
PUTS DIRECTORS IN
BAD LIGHT.
IDAHO PEOPLE URGED BOISE
Reports by War Department and Legis-
lative Committee In Accord in Plac-
ing Blame for Incidental Hardships

In view of the agitation over condi-
tions at the Boise barracks, and the
published statement that the troops
have not been properly fed, the official
records on the rations given the men of
the Second Idaho infantry are given
below. The entire net ration is re-
quired to be drawn for each man.
With the exception of fresh meat and
bread it is drawn in Today periods,
allowing combinations of dlsnes not
otherwise possible. Ibis IS the regular
army ration and has been pronounced
by physicians the world over to be the
best balanced ration that can be de-
vised.
The best answer to the statement
| that the soldiers are not properly fed
| is the fact that the men have galled
| an average of over 10 pounds apiece
since entry into the federal service.
| Following are the daily rations:
Fresh beef, 20 ounces.
Flour or bread, Is ounces.
| Beans, "a ounces.
Prunes, apples or peaches, l.2S
ounces.
| Coffee, 1.12 ounces.
| Sugar, 3.2 ounces.
Milk evaporated, 0.5 ounce.
Salt, 0.64 ounce.
| Pepper, 0.04 ounce.
| Lard, 0.64 ounce.
Butter, 0.5 ounce.
Sirup, 0.32 gill.
Flavoring extract, 0.014 ounce.
All food supplies are purchased in
the open market on contract prices and
costs 1913 cents per day per man. If
purchased in small quantities it will
readily be seen that it would cost con-
siderable more. The cooks, fuel, cook
ing utensils, houses and stoves are fur
nished and paid for by the government
and the 1873 cents represents the bulk
net cost of the ration for one man fol
one day.

"For the good of the service' and in
order to put at rest the repeated
charges made with regard to the Bois,
barracks and the handling of the Sc
cond Idaho regiment, Colonel J. B. Nc
Donald, inspector general for the west

at the request of Major Amos Martir
who this week wired the San Francisco

regiment, making indirect charges ant

CLEARWATER FOR 100000 ROAD
BONDS.

Clearwater county is arranging to
float a 100000 bond issue, the money
realized from the sale of the bonds to
be used in road improvements. With
an assessed valuation in our neighbor-
ing county of close to ten million and
the crying need there as well as else
where in Idaho for good roads, it ap-
pears to the average citizen as a worthy
move and one that deserves the united
support of every citizen in that county
and from all indications there is not
sufficient opposition against it to be
worth counting.
