CANYON COUNTY ROADS.

While other neighboring counties
and highway districts are voting bonds
for road Improvement, Canyon count }
goes merrily along without a single
cent of road bond indebtedness. Roads
in this section of the state are nothing
to be proud of; indeed, many are
hopelessly bad. But Canyon county is
goin gahead. Her roads are improv-
ing in systematic manner which will
produce results If consistently ad-
hered to.
1t must be recalled, when you feel an
inclination to grumble at series OF
disastrous chuck holes, that practi-
cally all of Canyon county roads arc
comparatively new. Roads come with
years of care and travel. They can't
be constructed overnight And it is
this very thing which makes Canyon
county road construction a problem,
requiring best methods, best efforts
and care in expanding such funds az
are available.
Four years ago, Canyon county had
no road policy. Funds disappeare
under a miniature pork barrel system.
Nothing more definite was accomp-
lished than a considerable knowledge
of pinochle by not a few overseers
who drew county salaries while they
became opponents of that indoor pas
time.
Today, any fair minded person will
admit that the county is working,
slowly but certainly, toward a system
of satisfactory highways. Time and a
continuation of the present policy
will give this section good roads
And we won't be bonded out OF sight
when we get them.

WHY NoTa

In lieu of the general public dis
approval of the action of local gro
Gerry stores and meat markets in plac-
ing ten cent delivery charge on each
of their deliveries after September /,
it might be interesting to examine the
merits of their position. According
to statements made by representative
grocerymen, it SENS that the assess
ment was deemed necessary because
of two reasons.
One of these is the fact that many
customers of various stores, either
thoughtlessly or with sheer disregard
for the rights of others, were fire.
quently in the habit of placing small
orders simultaneously at several
stores. Not infrequently, none Of
these orders were of sufficient value
to have paid delivery charges and too
often the things ordered could easily
have been waited for. 1t was to dis
courage this practice that the present
regulation was adopted.
The other reason relates to delivery
costs. Truck drivers insisted on more
pay. Inefficiency in delivering made
them compensate purchasers for many
lost parcels. They objected to this on
the ground that their salary was not
large enough to warrant paying those
liabilities.
As it stands, this latter reason is
merely a matter of better business,
better organization and better meth
DDS. That it cannot be relieved is an
admission of inability to cope with
situation which is not impossible of
solution. And the first reason is no
reason at all.
Caldwell business houses who
adopted the delivery charge have a
central organization. Then why not
utilize that organization to inform
patrons who abuse delivery privileges
that no orders of less value than
some particular established amount
will be sent to them? No single gro
ceryman need jeopardize his trade by
such a move because it comes from
central organization. And no house
wife would care to oppose such a
~.

 WASHINGTON, March l. - With hostilities at an end, the Government is now laying the basis for one oi the greater of it's peace time tasks the decennial inventory Of the ohlteu States, it's people, lands, lnduS'ry' and livestock, that is called the cen sus. Secretary of Commerce heu field the other day signed the oruer that transferred one Of the largest of the temporary war buildings put up in Washington, that formerly housing the army's department oi aeronautics, to Director of the census Rogers and his staff.
 Actually, the Government began it's job some months ago, assemolihs its plans and forces. By law, the beginning of the census of l9zo Is July 1, 1919, though it will not De until year from April that the enumerators will be set to work. It is then that every individual 1n Amer ica, or some one acting Tor the ln- diyidual. will be asked the series of questions that must be answered.
 There will be 20 of these questions in the 1920 census, according to the present design of Director Roger dummy cards, which now are being given the exhaustive study Of statls ticians. The more complex question naires that go to industrial estab- lishments, schools, farms, and every other permanent institution Of the country are likewise in the develop ment stage, undergoing critical exam ination in the light of experience the Government has gained in conducting 12 inventories of the kind.
 Chiefly the bureau is engaged in preparing for the classification and tabulation of the vast quantity of material which will be assembled. "The
 1920 census tabulation will be for the , first time almost completely ma. chine operation, conducted by means of devices useful only to the census bureau of the United States which have been invented and are now be ing built by men in it's employ. Flee
 tric machines will first transfer the l written information coming in on the enumerators' sheets to cards, not by writing, but by punching holes at
 proper points Then the punched cards will be handed in their mil lions to another battery of machines, the tabulators, an amazing product of human ingenuity. E. M. Boiteaux, who devised them, has been with the census for IS years, and is now su- perintending the construction of 25 machines, the operations of which he will direct.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, June 26.-Further
advances were scored by cotton to-
day, putting the market to new high
records for the present upward move
ment. Contracts went far above
spots, the new crop months COM
manding premiums on the spot quot
alton for middling which never were
heard of before.
Around the opening, the market was
nervous and irregular and for short
time was at a decline mainly as the
result of realizing on the long side.
The wet weather map and the fore
cast of more rain, soon increased the
demand, which was strengthened by
flood of extremely unfavorable
crop reports from private sources ano
by twd private bureau reports on con-
,dition, one of II and the other of
10. The advance was helped in the
afternoon by the rumor that another
private bureau would come out to-
morrow with condition figures of I'M
der 70. The close was 81 to 1872
points net higher.
Spots were raised Is points to
$3.50 for middling while July at its
best traded at 34.15 and October at
33.45.
Cotton closed steady at an advan-
ce of 81 to 1872 points.

Chicago Grain.

Chicago, June 26.-Rapid fluctua-
tons within comparatively narrow
limits were the rule today in the corn
market which displayed an unsettled
condition. The close was weak with
prices unchanged to 7-8 lower
with July at $1.79 So to $1.79 ga,
September $1.75 So to $1.75 Sd and
December $1.53 IL to $1.53 58.
Oats declined from So to 7-8. There
was evidence of fair eastern de-
mand with sales around forty thou
sand bushels. The cash commodity
ranged from 1 to 3 cents over the
July delivery.
Oats emulated corn in the rapidity
of price fluctuations but kept nearer
the higher level. Dry weather in the
Canadian northwest territories and in
Western fields offest pressure on the
low spots. The trading was largely
local.
Provisions exhibited few changes
and offerings were readily absorbed.

COTTON JUMPS S.
A BALE ON CROP
CONDITION Of 10

New York, June 26.-There was an
advance Of approximately one cent
pound in the cotton market here
today, with all deliveries making new
high records on bullish crop and
trade advices. The general list
closed strong at net advance of 80
to 100 points.
There was some irregularity during
the early trading which was suppos-
ed to reflect nervousness over polit-
ical conditions. The opening was
steady at an advance on reports of
rain in the belt, steady cables and
bullish reports from the goods trade.
There was considerable realizing,
however, and prices eased off directly
after the call Trade interests were
buyers on this setback however, and
after receipt of reports that the Ger
man ENJOYS were on their way to sign
the peace treaty, buying on bulllsh
crop advices became more active and
excited.
Stop orders were uncovered as
prices worked above the 80 cent level.
The close was only a few points
off, from the best under realizing.
Two private crop reports were is
sued, one making the condition TOT
and the other 70.5 compared with
the official condition of 1856 last
month, S5.S June last year, and S0.3,
the 10-year average. The lowest
endJune condition on record in 1917
was 70.3.
