Meeting Productive of Good

The Cottonwood Commercial,
Club held a very interesting meet
ing Monday noon at the Cotton
wood hotel and at which gather.
ing there were some fifty mem
bers present. Many farmers
were present from various sec.
tions around Cottonwood.
Among some of the important
matters taken up by the club
were the appointment of a County
Agent and the club passed a reso-
luton unanimously endorsing
the movement and asking the
county commissioners of Idaho
county to make an appropriation
necessary to defray the expenses
of such a department.
The club also asked vote
from it's members as to their
present feeling toward a. fair to
be held this fall and according to
the vote recorded on this matter
! it seems that a fair of some ma
ture will be held in Cottonwood
this year as the votes of the
members present seems to ex.
press the sentiment of the peo.
pie as a whole.
Another matter that was
brought to the attention of the
club by Chairman Robertson was
the defraying of the expenses O.
recording soldiers discharges
This matter also received tht
hearty approval of the club. 1t il

to pay all fees connected will

Spring Opening Was a Success

The implement and motor
vehicle exhibition held Saturday
and Monday of last week at the
Hoene Hardware was largely at
tended and successful. There. were
many favorable comments on the
splendid displays of the various
lines. The interesting and instruc-
tive addresses delivered by Mr..
George Steele and Mr.. K. E.
Smith of Portland were enjoyed
by the crowd. That they were
able demonstrators goes without
saying. All those in attendance
will surely profit thereby.
Clothes brushes were distribut-
ed as souvenirs among the men
while the ladies were given broom
holders. All the young folks and
children calling at the store re-
ceived a bag of popcorn, which
they ate with mush relish.
This was the first affair of its
kind held on the prairie and
much credit is due the firm for
their enterprise and progress. 1t
is likely that the results will justi-
fy a repetition of the event.

Pie Social Draws Large Crowd

The pie social given in the high
school building on the evening of
March 26, 1919, for the benefit of
the Boy Scouts, was pronounced a
pleasing success. There were
nearly one-hundred present, and
many more, havingplanned to be
present, were detained by other
interests. A short-snappy, yet
valued program proceeded, the
sellingof the pies. Every pie and
all the ice cream was quickly sold,
netting $4l.00. The boys are GER
tainly persuaded that the people
of the community are interested
in this worthy movement and
these boys, "chips off the ole

are going to make good. The ole

siastic over the sport. The club

ments every Sunday afternoon, if

public is invited.

HEALTH OFFICE CAUTION
Development of Smallpox in Dis
trict Causes Suggestion for Vac
cination of Business Employees.

Discovery of about twenty cases of
smallpox in the District since Janu-
airy l has caused DIR. William c.
Fowler, District health officer, to
write to all business establishments
in the city recommending that en-
ployes be advised to be vaccinated.
None of the cases located is seri-
Gus. DR.. Fowler stated today. and
of the total number discovered about
one-third had made complete recov-
cry before they were located. DIR.
Fowler stated there is no cause for
alarm: even considering the fact that
the number of smallpox cases report
ed since January 1 is larger than
usual.
The District health department, DR..
Fowler stated, will supply vaccine
points and materials for all persons
desiring to use them, but that the
users must make private arrange
ments for the actual vaccination, as
the health department cannot under
take the operation.
Persons who have been success
fully vaccinated within the last year,
DR.. Fowler stated, may be considered
to be reasonably immune and no &C
tuai necessity exists in such cases
for re-vaccination, although to make
absolutely sure it would be better
for every one to be vaccinated and
thus remove any possibility of con-
tracing the disease.

Regards Inactivity as Serious.

The Board of Trade regards this in
activity seriously. not only because of
it's effect on the unemployment of la
borers, but chiefly because of the need
for hundreds of new homes properly
to house the greatly increased popula-
tion of the District.
Rumors are said to have gained cir
culation in the navy yard that the
government plans 10 build houses at
cost between $4,000 and $1,000 and
sell them to It's workers for $4,000.
Such a plan was talked about when
the government first considered build
ing homes for war workers. but so far
as is known never took definite shape,
and is regarded as out of the question
now that the war is over.
This and other rumors about the
possibility of the government going
into the business of home building, al
though without foundation, have the
effect Of causing private builders hes
itate to begin construction, IL was
argued by local builders today.

Points to Navy Yard Projecr.

He cited the case of the proposed
government homes for navy yard
workers in the southeast section of
Washington to illustrate his view. On
a part of the tract bordered by 18th
and 10th streets, Z and East Capitol
streets southeast foundations have
been dug for about 200 navy yard
homes, but the signing of the armi-
stice caused work to be halted on
this and other government housing
projects outside Washington whicn
were less than half completed.
IF Washington builders were sure"
said this local business man, that
work will not be resumed on these
navy yard houses I am confident that
local interests would start irmedi-
ately to erect all the houses that are
needed in the southeast to house The
increased population brought to that
section by the navy yard"
This new explanation of why pri-
vate. building operations have not
been resumed in the District with
the coming of peace was discussed
with interest in local circles, in view
of the fact that the Board of Trade
yesterday began an inquiry to find
out the cause for the apparent stand
still in building operations

Cost Of Materials Also Retard.

1.-THE cost Of materials is having some
effect on the launching of home de-
veIopments." said one local builder,
*but. IN my opinion, these rumors that
the government may continue In peace
the building Of homes which were begun
to meet the war situation Is far
greater deterrent to private projects"
The housing bureau OF the Depart
ment OF Labor. created to build accom-
modations for war workers in Wash
ington and at about ninety-five other
points throughout the country, was es-
tabIished for the period of the war only.
The creation OF this bureau. however,
gave rise to the suggestion In some
quarters that the government continue
TO build model homes for workers.

Wait to See How Many

iDLENESS MAY BE RESULT

Uncertainty as to how far the gov
eminent is planning to go in the erec-
tion of homes for its workers in
Washington is the main reason why
private operators in the District are
not beginning to construct the hun
dreds of new homes needed in this
city. according to man in close
touch with the building industry.
Unless builders, both in Washing
ton and throughout the country, know
within a month or six weeks what
the future policy of the government
is to be in regard to the building of
houses, spring will find laborers and
in big cities still waiting
for private capital to begin activi-
ties" this student of building de-
