The rate hearing on the Nampa-
Meridian irrigation district was fin
ished Wednesday and the case sub
mitted to the county commissioners.
In the hearing the company asked
for a water rate, under the Nampa-
Meridian district, that would net
them a profit of per cent on tehir
investment, which was figured upon
their budget for 1918 and amounted
to practically 1906 per inch The
rate heretofore for the past five or
six years has been 1926 and at the
opening OF the hearing rate of
$3.50 was asked.

SAILORS TO RULE
THEY WILL CONTROL AMERICA
AFTER THE WAR, SAYS SEC
RETARY DANIELs-WilL Try
FOR WORLDWIDE COMMERCE.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 2.-Dis-
cussing what he believes will be the
conditions in this country after the
war, Josephus Daniels, secretary OF
the navy, here today, declared that
the soldiers and sailors, when they
return to civil life, will control
America for the next generation. He
said he believed the conditions after
peace will be far different from
those of pre-war times. Expressing
an opinion that they will try for a
world wide commerce, the secretary
continued:
This will be less concerned as to
whether this is by public or private
ownership than with securing and
enlarging world wide commerce. The
odds are that they will see In gov
eminent ownership and direction the
best agency, but they will discard
that If private ownership insures the
best results.
They will never return to duplica-
ton OF railroad transportation and
competition In terminals and facili-
ties. All the benefits which govern
ment operation of railroads have
given will be continued whether the
railroads are in public or private
ownership. The telephone and teie-
graph probably will be permanent
part of the postal system, though the
men who will rule America win be
open minded enough to discuss the
best method Of communication"

PARIS---AND THE
WINTER OPENINGS

New York, Sept. 4.-There is one
consolation that always comes with
the presentation of winter styles in
summer weather. Just think of the
deliciously cold temperature in store
That is relief, isn't it? 1t stimu-
lates our imagination sufficiently to
actually visualize ourselves in these
clothes, and then we feel the atmos-
phere that comes with them. So
you see winter openings in the heart
of summer-are really worth while.
And such a glorious display the
Paris couturieres are showing. Ev-
cry day one may be easily pleased
with the coming styles, for indeed
there are styles for every type. No
one need be distastefully dressed.
These thoughtful designers have
shown prudence and careful reflec-
ton for all their winter models.
With elaborate simplicity of the
dresses, suits and coats till the most
sought after feature, some little
touch is necessary to give the desir-
ed distinction to each individual gar
ment So the sleeve or the panel or
the waistline must be given some
unusual role to play, and in spite of
the similarity OF line, every design
