OBITUARY

/ Mention was made last week of
the accidental death of David Ma
soner. Funeral services were on
Sunday afternoon at the Presby-
terian church of which he had been
long time member. The number of
people who came to express sym
pathy and appreciation, was a fine
tribute to a man who never thot
of himself as any more than plain
honest citizen. Probably none of
those present thot differently; but
the occasion made it more certain
that in the final estimate it is the
plain honest citizen that gets clos
est to our hearts.
He was Just two days past IL
when death took him Missouri was
the state of his infancy, but he fol-
lowed the advice" and moved west.

vast territory had been admitted to
statehood, and last to Idaho in 1897

He was married to Lucy McFad-

children were born to them. One

were present also the son-in-law.

of Boise. The Grange of which
he was member, furnished the pail
bearers, but their kindly offices
would have been rendered by any
of the others present if there had
been need. The feeling was that it
was an honor to show him respect.
A sudden death is a shock to loved
ones that we all bope to escape. But
so far as Dave" is concerned, it
is certain he would have chosen a
sudden, rather than a long linger-
ing transition from the present form
of life to the other form for which
he had made full preparation. A
good man loved by all who knew
him. May it be possible for some
one to write it of each of us when
our time comes.

that her plans will be made as events
may lead; but wherever she may go
She will carry precious memories OF
nearly half-century of happy we'd
led life.

harmful In other words, every
state and every community of state
which have gone at the road prob
lem on the basis of building roads
from now ON upon which the truck
can travel, without injury to the
road or excessive depreciation to the
truck, have found themselves with a
great increase in wealth, due not
only to the personal property valua-
tions of the trucks themselves as an
investment, but the fact that the
possibilities of oprating trucks has
made land in these counties much
more valuable. =
The era of the railroads building
struggling, non-paying branch lines
has passed in the financial history
of this country.
Railroads are not going to be per-
mitted to take their revenues from
main line or trunk line traffic and
pay out losses in revenues created by
lines which did not have enough
freight possibilities in their territory
to operate at profit.
With all due respect to the many
excellent arguments which are ad
yanced on the basis of tourists trav-
ell for the improvement of connect
ed good roads, the fact that the
tourist travels or not, does not de-
termine whether or not the county
or a section of the state is going to
be prosperous on the basis of the de-
of its own resources and
the production of its own wealth.
If such system of roads, con-
with smooth hard surface
and of sufficient strength to with
stand heavy trucks will for only
one season save the crops of COM
by quickly transporting Ia
Dor and likewise quickly transport
ing the crop, then that roadway has
been a wonderful investment be-
cause the element of failure in crop
operations from the standpoints of
has been eliminated.
If the county in which you live
should build one such highway, con
Meeting as a part of the general sys-
tenn such as the Evergreen National
and would have your coun
ty engineer estimate the amount of
tonnage at the end of the year which
had moved over its surface by truck
you would be surprised that you had
started a young railroad operation
for the benefit of your people in
the matter of hauling freight with
out really realizing that you were
doing so.
This letter has been rather long
and, l fear, rambling, but if my
writing you has even the slightest
influence of helping the improve
ment of our highways, particularly
for the agricultural section of our
country for the purpose Of giving
the truck an opportunity to show
what it can do in Increasing the
wealth of your community, l shall
be very happy indeed.
Yours, truly,
George Waddle,
Director of Dealer Relations.

The full German delegation which
 is to receive the terms of the Allies
 late this week, is now at Versailles.
 It is expected that the initial meet
 ing will be held on Friday, but it may
 be found impossible to prepare the
 treaty for presentation before Satur-
 daX[
 A day or two will be given for questions concerning interpretations
 of different phases of the convention,
 without, however, involving a pro longed discussion.
 Reports from Berlin are somewhat contradictory concerning Germany s purposes, as some reports indicate | that an early signing of the treaty is probable, while others say that it is doubtful whether the pact will be signed at all. These reports, coming from different sources, indicate a lack of concerted attitude as to the treaty and show there is disposition to leave the decision largely with the Ger 1 man plenipotentaries who are now at Versailles.
 When the German pIenipotentaries arrived at Vaucresson, near Yer sailles, last night, it was seen that the l trip across France had been marked | by, at least one demonstration, a win | dow in one of the railway cars being broken by a, missile. The German

ASSEMBLY HONOR 1O2ND VETERANS PARADINC- TODAY Legislature suspends Ses- sion at Noon to Welcome
 Soldiers. COLORS GIVEN
 BACK TO STATE Considerable Debate on Trolley Commission Bill
 This Morning.

Hartford, April 3O-To honor the
 veterans of the 102nd Infantry and
 the 1O1st Machine Gun Battalion, the
 General Assembly took a recess this
 noon. The members also took part
 in the exercises of delivery by the
 two commands of their colors to the
 state, Governor Holconb receiving
 tkem for Judgment at this time in the
 capitol.
 The comission biI! was taken up by
 the Senate yesterday just before ad-
 journment. Its rejection then had
 been forecast and an attack upon tha
 measure began today as soon as Sen
 ator Adams of the railroads commit tee had asked the Senators to look upon it in a fair light He said the measure aimed to create a way of de- termining the real condition of troll ley companies and to guide the next
 session iri remedial legislation. Senator Hough spoke for the bill. saying that the special commission of which he was a member did not have
 time to learn everything about the companies. Senator Leonard, in op- position. said that SenaSor Hough to- day admitted the commission did not know as much about the trolleys as 1 1t claimed to know yesterday Senator Bisseu opposed that part of the bill which provided for an, ap- praisaI of trolley property
 Senator De Laney believed the pub | lie utilities commission should do the | work of inquiry. Senator Dillon said | it was obvious that a commission ] which issues orders and enforces rAg- | ulation upon the trolley companies 1 cannot investigate it's new acts witE | any degree of satisfaction. He of 1 fered in amendment striking out ol | the bill provisions for an appraisa | of property and addition of clerica l and expert assistants to the commis- sion.
 | Senator Hemenway opposed the amendment and the bill on the gen.
 eral ground of unnecessary expense. The Houss indefinitely postponed
 the resolution proposing an equa
 suffrage amendment to the constitu- 1 tion on the ground of the discovery l that it's phrasing was defective. A ! new resolution will be started. Both 1 trolley bills rejected by the Senate 1 yesterday were rejected in concur.
 renee. These would havef relieved 1 trolley companies of paving anG l highway bridge costs.

NO BEER MADE
 AFTER MAY l
U. S. Agents Will Ferret Out Those Who Disobey
 Law.

Washington, April 30.---Agents oH the department of justice have been instructed to obtain evidence showing what brewers continue to manafac- ture beer after midnight tomorrow when prohibition of the use of foods in manufacture of beer, wines or other intoxicating liquors becomes eff fective.
 This evidence may or may not be used in prosecution ot brewers, de- pending largely on what the federal court in New York decides in the beer case now pending there. Whether production of near beer after tomor- row midnight is prohibited,' the de- partment of justice has not ruled.
 Manufacturers Of wine or beer who continue to operate after May 1 will do so at their own risk, although the department has noc indicated any in tention Of causing immediate arrests.
