between the greater portion of Ne
braSka and other states en- route west.
1t was a pleasure to ride across the
southern portion OF your state.
LAS for the southern Idaho roads,
they are so great an improvement over
those of other states we passed over
that my enthusiasm prevents me from
expressing just how direct the con-
trast really is. Why, it was like strik-
state, when you compare the roads we
had to travel over in other states. That
was true from the time we reached
the eastern border and arrived at
Boise. They tell me the roads are just
as good west from here.
THE scenery afforded in the south
ern portion of this state is simply Won
derful. The great Shoshone Falls are
magnificent. Twin Falls are also beau
sand Springs are worth going many
miles to see. Western Idaho presents
beautiful sight this time of the year
with its orchards in full blossom.
You are certainly to be congrat-
ulated upon your roads. This Is espe-
cially true of the state highway sys-

the Boise Motor Car company four
REQ speed wagon combination pas
senger and freight trucks, represent :
ing an investment of more than $4,000.
The distance traversed by Mr.. Free

Meeting link of the highway that will
make the north and south so much
better friends and relieve us of the
every two-year occurrence of a dis
cussion anent the splitting of this
state into two parts.
ESTABLISHES DAILY SERVICE
This service, both passenger and
freight, is daily except Sunday, and
will start May 1. 1t will make direct
connections with trains at Grangeville
and New Meadows and the rates are
reasonable, covering the following
points
Grangeville to Whitebird. to Lucille,
to higgins, to Pollock, to New Mead
ows, and from New Meadows to Round
Valley, to Clay Station. to Potter's, to
Pollock, to Higgins, to whitebird, to
Grangeviile. E. Q. Bown will manage
the Grangeville- higgins division and
Mr.. Freeman himself will manage the
New Meadows higgins division.
One Of the REQ speed wagon com
bination trucks, made especially to the
order of the owner, is already in com
mission and the others are ready to be
commissioned, or will be by May !.
THE ordinary touring car will not
stand up for such service" said Mr.
Freeman Saturday, land after looking
the field over I decided that the best
all -round truck to suit our purposes
was the REQ, hence my purchases O.

Although Mr.. Freeman has lived II
Idaho 80 years he is not, as might bt
supposed AN old man. He is a youns
fellow, As years Of age, who, when Il
years old, heard the call of the ives
and came here from Virginia. He be
lieves that Idaho is the greatest stat,
in the union and makes no bone
about saying so. and he said Saturda!

he also knew that Boise was the finest
place In the world to live.
REAuIIEuI SCENERY

He believes that much Of the seem
cry along the highway is Of such gran
deur that tourists, when once educated
TO its beauties, will come from all
parts of the country to view it.
Special mention was made Saturday
OF Fall creek, on the Little Salmon,
that in its way is just as beautiful
as Multnomah Falls on the Columbia
highway Little Fish lake at New
Meadows is another wonder spot on
the highway that needs no descrip-
ton to hundreds familiar with 1t.
One view og the Little Salmon, from
which the road, although nearby, is
entirely hidden, Mr.. Freeman thinks
is so beautiful that "it hurts"
Then take Rapid river ,emptying
into the Little Salmon said Mr.
Freeman, "if a more wonderful spot
can be found anywhere I should like
to view 1t. He also spoke of a view
from Higgins, looking south, where 1t
apears the mountains opened up for
Higgins to be seen. I could so on"
said Mr.. Freeman, but / am a busy
man and have the new line very much
on my mind, but some day / hope to
find the man who in print can do jus
tice to this magnificent stretch OF
! country. When that is done California
will indeed have use for all the live
wire ad clubs she can muster, for
Idaho will push her hard as the place
to go for real country"

Boise Motor company, Is naturally
proud of his sales to this pioneer, who

there must be spare horses ready to
replace animals temporarily incapaci-
tated another charge of so cents a
day against each horse actively en-
ployed. In some cases there will be
still further charges against the horse
equipment when the stable is large
enough to demand the employment of
extra managers, superintendent. help
ers, clerks, etc. For the ordinary
horse drawn transport system we have
named the inevitable charges that are
usually overlook ed And we must re-
member that the average horse trans
portation outfit is less scientifically
handler than the average motor truck
outfit.
In the total we find these hidden
charges $l.75 day per horse. BY the
time we have added in SO for the
drivers wage, 81 for feed and. say, %
cents for shoeing and veterinary fees,
we get Sc per diem as the cost of
keeping u one -horse rig on the road
for one day, Obviously this figure
vary in different localities, but it is
near enough to a fair average to serve
as Il basis for our inquiry. Also we
have purposely omitted the item of in
terest on the investment in horses
harness and other equipment because
of the wide divergence in the capital
sums, but the concern investigating
the comparative merits of horses and
motor trucks must by no means for
get this item.
The working year of the transporta-
ton system will average about 800
10 90
on regardless of whether the vehicles
are in use or not, and in some in
stances these are higher with the
truck than with the horse outfit, but
in one particular the horse gives his
owner all the worst of it; he insists
upon eating regardless of whether he
is working or not. With the motor
truck in the garage operation eX
penses cease automatically.
EFFICIENCY CONSIDERED.
Comprehensive tests have shown
that a motor truck will carry four
times as heavy a load four times as
fast as a horse-drawn outfit. In
other words the truck working at 100
per cent efficiency will do the work
of 16 horses. obviously no vehicle
can reach 100 per cent efficiency, so
we will cut the number Of horses to
eight. The daily cost of maintaining
the truck will scarcely run below S12,
but even so the record of economy is
all in favor of the truck. The cost of
maintaining the horse drawn equip
ment will certainly not be below 81
per day, even allowing for the team
ing of the thorses which cuts the
driver expense in half. Eight horses
at 81 per day means a total of s32
as against the Sl2 of the truck.
Further. the overhead expense of
stabling eight horses is enormously
greater than of garaging single mo-
tor truck. In cities this item is espe-
cially important, as the centers of
population are already crowded and
the saving in floor space is fast be-
coming vitality necessary.
All this is designed to emphasize
the vital necessity of the operator
employing horse drawn equipment and
considering a change to motor trucks,
with the inevitable comparison, to be
certain that he is including all the
obscure charges against his Transport

Praised for War Efforts.

Peter Mullin, fireman aboard the

of the Southeast Washington Citizens
Association. Not only did he address
the big assemblage, but he also sub
scribed to two bonds. explaining that
many of the overseas men were lend
ing their money to Uncle Sam to
bring the boys home and finish the
job.
Mullen did duty on transports bring
ing home the overseas men. and
knowing what the soldiers and sailors
went through, he stated, is enough
to induce any person to advance his
money for the good cause.

PERKINS MAKES REPORT
| ON Y.M.C.A. OVERSEAS

NEW YORK. May -7.-Georee W.
Perkins. chairman of the finance COM
mittee of the Young Mems Christian
Association. has made public his Of
fetal report as investigator into the
efficiency and service Of the organiza-
ton overseas.
Indicating the care with which man
and woman Y. NJ. C. A. workers were
selected for overseas work, Mr.. Per-
kins reported that out Of $50, 900 can
didates 10000 were sifted out and
considered in New York. but finally
only 11.229 were sent to Europe Last
month the organization had in Europe
5.693 man and 1861 woman workers
Fourteen secretaries were killed and
1875 others were wounded
Regarding the charge OF profiteer-
| ing in supplies. Mr.. Perkins report
said:
"One day we could get supplies sent
on a government boat without freight
charges. The next day the only way
to send them was to pay almost as
much freight as the goods cost 1t
will be readily seen that 1t was al
most impossible to arrive at anything
like an average cost price at which
to sell these goods.
The Y. NJ. c. A. never solicited
money for the purpose of giving away
it's canteen supplies. The statement
mas been frequently made that the
\. NJ. c. A. charged higher prices
for canteen supplies than the Army
did. This was true at certain periods.
when the cost Of transportation was
exceedingly high. and when it was i'm
possible to determine costs accurate
ly. But the final results OF the Y. NJ.
Z. A. fcanteen service will show a
substantial loss.
The Y. NJ. c. A. handled in France
alone upward Of 1000, 900 900 pack
ages of cigarettes. $4,000. 900 bars of
chocolate. $4,000. 900 cans of smoking
tobacco. 100000 cigars. 10000, 900
chewing gum and 100000 packages
Of candy.
On March l of this year the Y. M.
{. A. had in use in France 587 build
ings erected by itself, 596 under lease
and 1872 centers in tents and Army
buildings. More than 2,25o.000 ath-
letic articles were given to soldiers
IN 1915 and 1919"
Religious Work.
Referring to the religious work of
the Y. NJ. c. A.. in France. Mr.. Perkins
reports:
The Y. NJ. c. A. has been criticised
for the kind of religious services it
held and for the methods used to get
the men to attend them. AS to the
methods used in drawing attendance.
there were instances whore a sched-
uled entertainment of some sort
would be converted into a religious
meeting. Such occurrences were not
part of any organised program of the
Y. NJ. c. A: they were the actions of
certain individuals who were short
sighted and overzealous. and the rea-
huts were in such constant use that
II was impossible to avoid having one
activity overlap another. On the other
hand, 1t must be remembered that in
the many places where the services
have been brolerlX conducted they

Americans Refuse.

The American representatives have
refused this proposition on the ground
that it is not in accord with American
business methods to indorse other
PEOPLES notes. We were perfectly
willing to lend money directly to al
leviate the extremely serious situa-
tion in Europe. The aid. however.
must be furnished by our methods
mortgaging our credit in assuming
other peoples obligations. Such liza
bilities we could neither control nor
regulate. They might turn up at
inconvenient moments and lead into
Objectionable entanglements.
Furthermore per cent loan guar
anteed by the signature of the United
States and offered for sale in America
would have an unfavorable effect on
the per cent liberty bonds. This
guaranteed loan to Germany for the
payment of the first damages further
indicates the folly of the British and
French governments political cam
paign in promising the payment of
the cost of the war by Germany.
1t is evident that the British ex-
perts have come to the conclusion
that Germany may be unable to sell
the securities to make the first pay
ment for damages unless the securi-
ties are guaranteed by more solvent

Even Turned to Germany.

Finally France and even England
turned to Germany as the last hope
of getting the bulk of the war debts
paid by other means than taxation.
A broad Interpretation of the dam
age clause in the treaty has been
adopted to include all pensions be-
sides actual damages. With our civil
war experience we can understand
what an enormous sum will be re-
quired to pay the pensions tor such
armies as were engaged in TINS war.
France had, however. some mlsg1Vlng
about the ability to collect all this
out of Germany and asked as guar
antee the joint continuing military
occupation of the left bank of the
Rhine This both the United States
and Great Britain looked upon with
disfavor as involving too prolonged
joint military action of distasteful
nature.
treat Britain then evolved the idea
that Germany should issue bonds for
the payment of the damage claims
These bonds should be guaranteed by
the allies. True. this bond issue was
to cover the immediate damages pay
able by Germany. but the precedent
once established might well be evoked
for future emergencies.

PARIS. May 5.--Another joint finan-

French and some of the other gov

not dared to suggest to the people
the necessity of taxing themselves to

present the interest is paid with
borrowed money.
Various schemes have been put for
ward from time to time to escape
the unpleasant necessity. One was the
assumption of the joint war debts
by all the nations in the league IN
proportion to population and re-
sources This meant Americas as
