FREE DELIVERY
RE|NAUCURATED
Grocery Men Compromise By
Establishing Free So Min.
imum Service

Beginning Wednesday morning
those local grocery stores who belong
to the Union Delivery, readopted free
delivery system for. packages and par.
GELS whose combined value exceeds
three dollars. 1t is believed by gro.
cerymen that this system will meet
the objections raised to the 10 cent
charge in force heretofore and at the
same time will prevent infringements
upon the free delivery privilege which
housewives have been charged with
in the past and which was largely the
basis for Inauguration of delivery
tax. .
No reason has been forthcoming for
the adoption of the new regulations
but it is assumed to be due quite
largely to Intellectual efforts to popu-
larize the charge delivery system.
General popular disapproval of the
course adopted by the grocery stores
led to steadfast refusal on the part of
many customers to patronize deiiyefies
and resulted in an normous expansion
OF the business of the cooperative
store which seized the opportunity to
put on two free delivery wagons to
handle largely augmented business,
Decide Last Week.
Decision to modify the delivery
charge regulations is believed to have
been made at meeting of the inter
ested grocerymen week ago but NO
official announcement of the new
policy was then Forthcoming. At that
time, the three meat markets, who par
ticularly suffered as consequence of
the regulation though inability to pro-
vide, for small orders at prices which
might compete with those offered by
peddlers, went back to the free de-
livery system beginning October l.
Representatives of the Ames Whole
sale company of Boise have been look
ing over the local field with view of
establishing a branch house here. 1t
is understood that their program of
expansion in Caldwell was due quite
largely to the. delivery charge in vogue
here making this a particularly favor
able field to enter. This concern, by
handling large quantities of groceries
at wholesale prices, has built up an
enyiable good will and enjoys a large
trade from outlying districts. Whole
sale prices on a retail basis is their
method of conducting business.

SALE AT .H0MEDALE
CLEARS UP TANGLE
OLD CONTROVERSY WIPED
FROM SLATE WHEN STATE
LANDS GO.

BOISE-(SpeciaD-A land tangle
that has bothered state land boards
caused litigation and figured in poll
teal campaigns since 1912 was
cleared up last week when /. H. Nash
state land commissioners, sold at pub
lie auction 1921 acres of state land in
the Gem irrigation district for a total
of $527, 1888.
Difficulties first arose over the land
when the state found itself unable to
pay the maintenance assessments
taxed against it BY the district. The
state supreme court held that the dis
trict, bing a municipal corporation,
could not tax the state The assess
ments continued to. pile up, and to
clear up the situation the 1917 legis-
lature decided to give the land to the
district by appropriating 5000, the
amount of back assessments, to the
district to "buy" the lands from the
state. The supreme court held this
also unconstitutional.
The present administration. headed
by Governor d. w. Davis, decided to
clean up the mess. Accordingly the
last legislature appropriated $4,000
to pay the assessments so the land
could be turned over to purchasers
with a clear title. Through their sale
the state has recovered all this appro-
priation and approximately SOC, O00
besides, and future wrangles over the
land have been headed off.

Almost without, exception, she col
lectcd donations Of only one dollar and
her returns totalled $3.50.
One pleasing feature of the cam
paign to those who had the work in
charge was the willingness with which
people assisted the drive. Objections
to contributing to the Salvation
Army fund were few and far between.
This fact is taken as evidence of the
popularity of the work which the Sal
Walton Army did in France and the
good word spoken for the organiza-
ton by service men upon their return.

Canyon county's quota was 5000 of
which each Nampa and Caldwell were

effort to put that end of the county
