 The work in this district this year was done in building trail up Canyon creek and also in cutting a trail between Moose creek and Steele creek, along the Forty Mile river.

This year the mile of road that had been stripped in 1917 was graded and four miles more had been stripped of moss and the clearing of the timber has been completed. The work this year was done at cost of $9,619.81.
 Nearly the whole of this road ia built on the low ridge between Spruce creek and Tamarack creek and the country is covered for almost the entire distance with small scrub by spruce. and moss to the depth oi from six inches to eighteen inches deep. When this moss Is removed 1t uncovers clay or glacier mud which, when 1t Is given time to dry and drain makes a hard road mater ial, but when 1t Is first uncovered the sun thaws out the ground and many layers of ice are interspersed with the clay, making 8 soft. spongy condition of ground. We have found that 1t Is possible to partially grade this by grading in the spring as soon as the frost is out to the depth oi about six inches, or before 1t Is out deep enough to mire horses in work ing. The work in the past season was not begun early enough to dc much grading on the frost. but the four miles that have been stripped should be graded in the last part oi May and the first of June. otherwise 1t will not be possible to grade until

Dealers Face KnOtty
Problem In Adjusting
Revenue Tax To Prices

The confectionery stores in Salem
and vendors Of compounded or mixed
drinks found themselves in a rather un
satisfactory position today when they
began to realize that the tax on luxur
les went into effect today.
For instance, there is the familiar rec
cream cone. Dealers viii either have to
sell at four cents and collect the one
cent revenue from the youngssrr, or sell
at the usual iitney and call for penny
on the side.
Then there is the usual ten cent
! drinks such as soda water, and others
which are mixed over the eounser. The
customer who just drops IA VIM be
obliged to pay the usual dime and then
fish out a penny. as the law plainly
reads that the purchaser must pay the
luxury tax. The local men are doing
some tan figuring today whether to
charge cents for the drink and collect
the one cent internal revenue when the
dime is paid. There are three or four
drinks that come under this schedule,
all mixed or compounded.
Then there is the l5eent drink. Con-
fectionery men are in session this after
noon and this evening to decide whether
to charge Is cents for the o1RA and
collect the two cents revenue when the
IS cents is paid, or whether to force the
customer to go into q sidepoeket and
dig up two eoppers. For the revenue is
10 per cent and if there is a fraction
of a cent, it goes on 10 another extra
cent.
For the 20-eent dring, there is the
problem of charging is cents and col
leeting the revenue with the 20, Or to
charge % cents and make the sale even
twO-bits, including revenue.
All soft drinks are taxed the ten per
cent, but if one should buy two drinks
at 10 cents each, instead Of paying TWO
cents on each, it is legal and lawful
and correct to pay the ten per cent on
the total Or from 30 cents, hand out
three cents in revenue.
1t is the penny and the penny enange
that the local men are fighting shy of.
Not that they do not want the extra
nenny, but thev know the average pub
lie would appreciate some way Of not
toting around so much loose copper
chance. They feel that the public
spends its money easier when it is made
easier TO spend.
Now in any of the Salem eonfoetion-
cry or other stores serving mixed or
compound drinks, there is 10 per cent
tax on such things as are served from
the fountain, including coco cola, lem
onade, root beer, milk shakes, ice cream
The internal revenue laws says "mixed
or compounded.
But if the Salemite wants just
drink Of coffee. hot tea, iced butter
milk, ginger ale, Phez or Loiu, and
these are not mixed or carbonated with
anything else, they are not taxable. One
may take bromo seltzer, seidlitz pow.
ders. castor 'oi or such ana mn pay
the government 10 por cent. These are
not mixed drinks.
However, for the benefit of the drink
ing public and those who like to drop
in for the compounded mixtures, the
men intend to make it as
Easy as possible to spend money in Sa-
em and hope at the meeting this after.
