who may not have met Mr.. Field, and
who may therefore take him seriously.
As to Mr.. Harper, | will say he has
given a good account of his steward
ship, and has given value received for
every dollar spent on the roads in his
district.
Mr.. Field makes three charges !:
first, that the affairs of Road District
No. "a are being run against the
wishes of all the good people of the
district; second, that certain cherry
trees were either destroyed or serious
ly injured in road building; and third
that public money is being uselessly
expended in the district.
As to the charge, can say that, so
far as | know, no census has been
taken to find out the exact number
of persons in the district who agree
ever, that the management of the
roads has been conducted without
consulting Mr.. Field in the past; and
so far | am personally concerned, |
trust that they will be managed in
the future without consulting his
wishes or taking advantage of the ex-
ample of his great financial and en-
gineering abilities.
As to the charge that road work
recently done on Cherry Lane destroy
ed or injured fruit trees growing in
the public highway, | viii say that the
trees are still there and the results of
road work on the trees can be seen by
any person who cares to know the
facts.
As to the charge Of extravaganza
and disregard for the interest of tax
payers, will say that, even if this
charge were true. Mr.. Field is not the
person to raise the point. The records
viii show that NJ. Field has not paid
one cent of tax for more than five
years, and he probably never will pay
tax. If the taxes have been paid on
the property occupied by him, they |
has been paid by his creditors and not
Mr. Field. If "by your fruits shall We
know them" is TO be the rule by which /
we are to judge, then in all matters of
usefulness 20 the community, we have
some very worm-eaten fruit to judge |
by in the case of my critic. To be per-
fectly plain, do not have enough adj
miration for either the honesty or the |
business ability Of Mr.. Field as to
take his wishes for my guide when |
am acting for the public.
There is no truth in the charge of
extravaganza made by MIR. Field. The
fact is that Mr.. Field, and some others
of his stripe, desire that about all the
money spent in the district be spent
locally in this neighborhood. The gem

Hollands WindmiIls.

IT was at one time stated that there
were in Holland at least $500 large
windmills, of which the sails ranged
from 60 to 100 feet long. AT that time
their yearly cost was reported to be
nearly S10,000000. The mills are used

Freeze Out Hill leading to Ada County
was in need of repairs last year, and
that the money spent there was not

so many years that truth to him is

year had continued IN, evidence. But
while transactions have in some i'm

though in the east the moderation of
temperatures has brought welcome re-
lief and betterment In worjSing com

hesitation nearly everywhere because
Of existing doubt as to future econom-

With outputs further reduced, II has
become increasingly difficult and in

pfoftable contracts have of necessity
been rejected.
The general leval OF commodity
quotations is still much higher than a
year ago and bank elearings at lead
ing cities outside New York this week
disclose gain of 1926 per cent. But

CHICAGO GRAIN.
By JOSEPH. F.. PRIrcHARD.

Chicago. Jan. 1.-THE feature Of the corn
market today was selling for future delivery by
longs and strength shown under this pressure
today. The buying power in corn was mainly on
short account. and this demand was a reflection
OF the unfavorable weather conditions for the
increment, coupled with car scarcity in all po-
sitions. .-t
The cash situation in corn was quiet and slow
today. Interest in the main future Is large.
The shorts are scattered from one end Of the
country to the other. and the same may be said
Of the longs Speculation Is largely in that ftl-
ture. as it has been more or less dangerous TO
put out short line Of the nearby months
owing to the imposSbilty OF securing corn for
delivery on contracts
The feature in the provision market was the
buying Of futures by outside interests The
market clased strong. with advances Of nc TO
DC. Prices at the yards were lower for hon.

SHARP DECLINES
CAUSE net LOSSES
Passing of Peace Prospects Brings
Quiet to Market.

New York, Jan. 1L-Net losses were
recorded In nearly all issues In Wall
Street today and the market was
quiet. The reason for this decline was
collapse of the speculative belief In
an early peace and announcement BY
the income tax department that taxes
would be collected on stock dividends
regardless OF the Supreme Courts de-
cision. s.
There was also q general snowstorm
In the West which pleased the far
mers. but tied up traffic on the rsii-
roads. q.
withdrawal by Germany of the Of
fer to make peace with all the world
did not stagger the market to any ex-
tent. "
Tobacco stocks strong.
In the early part Of the session
great strength was displayed by To-
bacco stocks, while Marine preferred
held strong throughout most OF the
day. The street talk is that another
payment on account of the back
dividends on Marine preferred u to
be discussed at the meeting next
week. "
Tobacco stocks owed their earl,
strength to a rise in American Su.
matra. United Cigar Stores was also
strong on the theory that the stock
dividend planned at the time the late
pool was manipulating the market
would now be issued. Official an
nouncement from Washington that
the tax would be collected on stock
dividends killed this new hope. All
the Tobacco stocks then reacted
sharply! -
Russian Bonds Weak.
Heavy selling of Steel and Betlle-
hem B. seemed to come from strong
speculative interest. The borrowing
by American Can of 900 failed
to have any market effect, because
everybody had known for weeks thai
the company would have to borrow
heavily this year.
Like General Electric and Beth
Iehem. the Can Company Is over
whelmed with business. Its earnings
/ for 1918 should run about 30 per cent
on the common stock.
! Weakness Of Russian bonds was a
| feature of the outside market. where
also there was much interest IN
| United Motors. Nobody takes seri-
ously the report that Russia will re-
! pudiate all debts, the reason being
that even the Socialists, IL they get
! charge of Russia, will want to dc
! some business with the outside world
