pected to cost between Is and 20 cents a

$4,000 to $4,000, but it will be built
on commission basis as the most
economical, and the smaller sum is
expected to cover it.
Roping off the Avenue, as at in
auguration time, will cost a maximum
of $4,000 and a minimum of $1,000,
according to Maj Pullman. AS the
line of march is a comparatively short

run over $500. 1t is not thought any
money will be needed for roping off
at the Union station, or for any other
arrangements there. but that the sta

GRAIN GRADING TO
BE DEMONSTRATED
MEETINGS WILL BE HELD IN
COTTONWOOD AND IN
GRANGEVILLE

Under auspices of the Idaho county
farm bureau, b. F. Sheehan, state seed
commissioner and agronomy specialist
for the university extension service will
hold two grain grading demonstrations
in Idaho county. The first will be held
September 20 at 2 p. m. in Cottonwood.
The second will be on September 80 at
2 p. m. in Grangeville.
Objects of these meetings is to demon
strate to farmers the proper way of
grading grain and to show how and why
different docks are made.
"'There is no oubt buta that grain
grading has come to stay" says John
Finley, county agent. "The days of
penalizing a farmer for raising good
wheat are past, providing the grading
is properly done. Every farmer should
be in a position to grade his own grain
as well as to know when it is being pro-
perly graded. Armed with this infor-
nation, every farmer knows the mar
ket value of his product, and will be
able to go on to the market and intel
ligently sell to the highest bidder and
know whether he is getting premium
or it's face value.''

CONTRACT LET FOR
CAPITOL WINGS AT
BOISE FOR $4,000
ADDITIONS TO STATE HOUSE
MUST BE COMPLETED BY
NOV. 20, 1920

James Stewart and Co. of Salt Lake
have been awarded contract by w. j..
Hall, commissioner of public works, for
the construction of the capitol wings
at Boise. The Salt Lake firm will
handle all building materials and in
stall the plumbing, heating and wiring.
Lack of funds made necessary the
elimination of marble wainscoting and
the use of enameled wood in the wings,
and as result the bid submitted by
James Stewart & Co. was trimmed to
fit the appropriation made by the last
legislature. The work on the wings
to be done by the Salt Lake firm will
cost between $750,00O and $770,0OQ~
The architects estimated that the
wings would cost more than 100000,
but the legislature declined to appro-
pirate more than 100000 for the
work, and that, coupled with the mount
ing cost of materials, said Mr. Hall,
forced him to make alterations which
will allow Of the completion of the CAPT
tol without destroying the artistic beau
ty put int Ceaoihrmdfdfwardly
ty put into by the architects.
Put in Marble Later
The wings will be completed inside
in such manner as to allow marble TO be
put in place when additional funds are
available. The columns designed for
the wings will be finished temporarily
in white plaster and later the scaglOla
of artificial marble will be added
Marble floors and base boards will be
used, but the marble pilasters will give
way to an enameled wood. The archi-
tects promise that the wood can be re-
moved at any time and the marble put
in place.
BY making the alterations $4,000 was
saved, Mr.. Hall declared, and the wings
can be finished James Stewart & Co.
offered to complete the building for
$S65,O0O. That was the lowest bid
submitted, but it was considered too
high. The easements and the granite
have cost the state almost 100000 and
it is estimated that the furniture for the /
wings will cost $4,000. That left less
than 100000 for the work which re-
mains to be done on the building. BY
enameled wood for mar
BILE temporarily where that could be
done and eliminating new boiler for
the heating plant from the plans and
specifications ends can be made to meet.
$4,000 for New Walks
There will be available approximate
" 1000 for new walks and handicap |
ing, the architects announced.
The contract given the Salt Lake
firm by Mr.. Hall stipulates that the
wings will be completed and ready for
not later than Nov 20, 1920.
That will give the state time in which |
to furnish the wings before the next
legislature meets.
