The ginnings to January l6 this year were 10,570000 bales.

 New Orleans, March 19.--While cotton bulged to new high records in the early trading today on general buying, it re- acted later on the new price fixing att tempt report at Washington, falling to a small net decline. Late in the day the market was again showing strength, due to the marking up of spot prices by 50 points, middling being quoted at 8. l3c. Sales all told were 2300 bales We would call attention to the fact that at the highest levels today, the highest ever quoted in this contract market, March stood at only 32.50c Briefly. the new price fixing programme is designed to regulate all basic materials used in mstll- ing war goods, The early buying was continuation of movement of yesterday, Liverpool taking prominent part in it. Outside interest in the market was greater than usual, and there was no supplying the demand until profit talk ing in volume came from satisfied longs At the highest the active months were 26 to 8 points up. Price fixing reports toward noon caused a sharp break on which the market fell to level to F points under the close of yesterday. In months were again about 10 points over yesterdays final figures.
 In view of reports from New York that cotton goods are selling on the basis of 65 cents a pound for raw cot ton, we do not see how the government can attempt with any confidence to fix prices of raw cotton. Again, it has been realized all along that price fixing would surely reduce the acreage. We are dis posed to await more complete reports regarding the intentions of the govern ment before drawing any hard and fast conclusions from todays developments Shepard & Gluck.

NEED FOR SCIENTIFIC
DISTRIBUTION OF LABOR.

For long time the scientific
distribution of labor has been a
problem for those with the in
terests of labor at heart. Until
within the last few years it has
been almost wholly at the mercy
of chance. Where labor has
been plentiful in one part of the
country 1t has been scarce in an
other, perhaps not far away.
The public employment offices
have helped the situation to
some extent. But they can do
much more, and it is the aim of
the association to help them to
do more. At this time, OF all
times, there is no good reason
why the men who are able and
willing to work should not have
work to do and should not be
placed where their labor would
be fairly paid for.

PLENTY OF TURKEY FOR ALL
But Birds Are Not AS Fat AS Usual,
Due TO Fact That They Were

Today, Thanksgiving day, is to be
generally observed in Grangeville by

family gatherings are to be held. No
public Thanksgiving services are to take
place.
Stores arranged to close at 10 a. m,
while banks, county and federal offices
were closed Wednesday night for the
holiday.
Numerous hunting parties have gone
to the woods in search of deer and elk.
Since the open season on these animals
closes Saturday, local hunters who have
not shot the limit allowed by law are
putting forth = final effort to bring in
trophies.
For the Thanksgiving dinner, turkeys
seem to be plentiful, while local markets
have a big supply of chickens Geese
and ducks are not overly abundant.
Many of the turkeys, however, are not
as fat as usual due, it is believed, to
their not having been fed grain by farm
ers. With grain at high prices farmers
were disposed to allow the turkeys to
find their own feed, and few of the
birds are plump.

Miles +. Reed, president of the Idaho
Technical institute at Pocatello, and a
former resident of Idaho county, died of
heart disease on Nov. 81, while on a
hunting trip near Aberdeen, Ida. Presi-
dent Reed was one of the leading edu-
Gators of the state, and was widely
known throughout Idaho, especially by
the large number of former students
who had passed through his classrooms.
Career of President Reed.
President Reed had for twenty years
been prominent in educational circles
in the state, and he was a pioneer in
technical education. He was an alumnus
of the University of New York, and
formerly was head of the department
of physics and chemistry of the Lewis
ton State Normal school. Also, he was
at one time a member of the faculty of
the University of Idaho. He had been
with the Academy of Idaho and the
Idaho Technical institute at Pocatello
for more than eleven years and was
largely responsible for the growth and
success of this school.
Because he was suffering from heart
disease, New York specialists recently
ordered President Reed to take three
months rest from his work, but on ac-
count Of the pressing war emergency in
training of students at tee Idaho Tech,
President Reed did not heed the ad-
ices Of his physicians, but on the other
han worked lone and late in the in
terest of the men in training at the
Pocatello institute.
President Reeds body was taken 10
Pocatello from Aberdeen.

The roadbed is so narrow that it is i'm
possible for teams to pass on the grade,
except at turnouts which are only too
infrequent to accommodate the rapidly
increasing traffic over this road. Nnm-
erous accidents, some of which have
terminated fatally, have resulted from
teams and drivers going over the grade,
and tumbling into the canyon, hun
dreds of feet below.
Rise 1920 Feet in Is Miles.
The climb from the Salmon river
with an elevation of 1870 feet, to the
summit, at height of 1890 feet, will be
accomplished by what is known in high
way construction as a ladder, or zig
gag road which will wind back and
forth on the mountain side until the
rise of 1920 feet is accomplished. At
one point on the grade it will be posi-
BILE for one to look downward upon nine
different sections of the road. This, it
is pointed out, is one of the most in
teresting engineering problems in road
building in the west.
The Lewiston hin grade, just outside
Lewiston, over which the Lewiston
state highway climbs distance of POO
feet, has been compared to the Column
bia highway from road construction
standpoint and from its scenic value.
The Whitebird grade, it is said, will ex-
cell the Lewiston grade in that it is
longer and clibms in almost as short
distance to a greater height, offering
a wonderful panoramic view of the great
Salmon river basin country. The Lew
iston grade rises 200 feet in eight and
a half miles. The Whitebird grade win
rise its 5000 feet in thirteen miles.
Part of the highway will be gravel
surfaced. Standing timber on 10 acres
of land will have to be cleared away;
a total of $4,000 cubic yards of solid
rock will be removed together with 76,
600 yards of loose rock. 1t is estimated
that IN some places construction work
along the grade will cost $4,000 a mile.
Road Wanted For Years.
Construction of the North and South /
highway has been urged for years, but
it has only been within the last two or
three years that definite steps have +
been taken to accomplish the building of
this very important road. The road is
to be built by funds made available by
the state and federal governments and
by the communities through which the
road passes. Orieirllv each was to pro- !
vide one third of the money, but, in
view Of the need for more funds, the

to provide their respective shares of
the money needed, while the board Of
