ton work has been a very serious
thing the past season for travellers
between here and Salt Lake City.
While construction was under way
in Utah very little attention was
made to making detours So travellers
could get around the work. The de-
tours around given piece of road
had to be made great deal longer
because of the time it took for the
cement work to ripen. With the
bitulithic construction in the Fort
Hall sand belt, travel could be
switched back onto the new ma
cadam just as soon as the steam
roller was done rolling it down. If
it had been cement work, granting
that it takes fifteen or twenty or
thirty days longer for it to 'be ready
for traffic, and having all the travel
diverted thru the sand that much
longer, it would have been quite
serious matter and Inconvenience to;
the travelling public. When one
sticks around and hears all the argu-
ments that are being shot back and
forth on the subject of the two kinds
of construction, these are some of
the things that he will hear. We
thought you would like to know
about it.

| all property should be assessed and
everybody made to pay taxes on
everything they have. If this were
put into practice in Bingham county
| and not done in the rest of the
Istate, then Bingham, County would
pay practically three or four times
as much state taxes as it does now
and probably three or four times as
much as its proper pro ratio. Here
is the way that comes about: The
county commissioners sit as a board
Of equalization to pass upon the in
equalities of assessment in their own
county and certain date is fixed
when people may comes in to pro-
test against the valuation placed upon
their property. After that is all done
the state board of equalization and
the different counties having turned
in their totals of the different kinds
Of property are passed upon by the
board of equalization and the county
assessors representing their respec-
tive county seek to gain adjustments
the same as individuals do appear
ing before the county board. One
county may make the plea that range
is poor and the livestock is not as
good as usual and the livestock as
sessments would be cut down some
what, or that industry favored in
their district. Another county, may
claim that its dry farmers are lab
Oring under an unusual difficulty and
want the dry farm lands assessed
at a lower price. Some other as
SCISSOR may claim that by reason of
the visits Of ten billions Of crickets
in his county that the irrigation far
mers ought to be favored this year,
and so they 60 on with their conten-
lions each county trying to get some
favors for its people. In the scrap
to shift the burden from its own
shoulders, each county seeks to keep
down its assessed valuation and fix
the rate in it's, county high enough
to. get the amount Of county taxes
they want without turning too gem
erOus an amount to the state. Long
years ago they settled down to try

cause that plan was rejected and
another plan adopted, some of the
citizens of this county who had ex-
Apected to get positions or jobs in
laying the cement, sought to stop all
road work by an injunction in the
month of June when everything was
ready for road construction and &C
tive, effective operation. People will
remember that a stiff fight was made
against the plans of the. injunctioners
and they were put to rout by a thoro
exposition of the facts in the case.
Paving At Idaho Falls
City engineer ]. H. Wilson Of
Idaho Falls says they have made
slight repairs in their cement paw
ing twice since it was laid in 1916
and it needs some more now. They
pour tar in the places where it gives
out, these being mostly at the joints.
Our Present Paving
The paving laid four years ago in
Blackfoot cost SLIP yard, very
low price, said to be the lowest of
any laid in the state. One reason
why we could get such low price
was that out at Arco, where the
sugar company loads the coarse lime
rock, it had dumped out heavy bodies
of the fine rock of the size suitable
for laying bitulithic paving. In the
old days when freight rates were
very low, Bingham county had Sc
cured rate of SO cent yard for
hauling that kind of lime rock down
to lay the macadam road from the
fair grounds up to the sugar factory
spur. That old rate, once estab-
1ished had never been withdrawn and
in 1916 when the bitulithic people
found the lime rock was just what
they needed and that they could get
the SO cent rate on it, they seized
the opportunity and got the rock
delivered here for nearly nothing,
while II they had been obliged to get
rock from some other source and
crush it themselves, we could not
have got the paving laid for $1.72
or anything near that amount. First,
the supply Of that kind of crushed
rock at Arco is already exhausted
or at least there is not any consid-
cradle quantity ready for shipment
and the freight rate is said to be
more than three times what it was
then, the old special rate having
been cancelled long ago.
The price we are paying under the
present contract with the Mcguire
Construction company for city work
is 1922 yard as compared with
$1.72 four years ago and under the
peculiar conditions we have de-
scribed.
Repairs and Detours
1t is persistently urged that It is
very difficult to make repairs on ce-
ment paving and that the patch al
ways looks bad, wears bad and is
bad at the places where it joins the
original work. Our readers probably
know to what extent this is true.
It is also urged that bitulithic paving
can be patched If necessary and a
thin or thick coat Of the bitumin can
be welded on to the original coat
and II will roll down until 1t cannot
be noticed. Y
1t will be remembered that the

CorbeIl. father of Mrs. LeBaron, yes terday testified in the suit of Mrs LeBaron against Edwin LeBaron ask ing for the custody of their three chil- dren and share in an estate of $13,oo that he feared she was guilty of the charge on which she was arrested be- cause he found her in jail when he went to Los Angeles after her arrest. Had he known the facts in the case. he said, which came up when tde affi- davits were secured from the Me Leods. he never would have permit ted the suit being tried without a de- fense.
 Mrs. Peggy Mcleod. who was on the stand in the morning, said she had told F. C. CorbelI. brother of Mrs. LeBaron. at the time that he went to Venice in November. 1919, to secure affidavits from herself and husband, that so far as she knew, Mrs. LeBaron was a good woman.

MISSION CHOCOLATE SHOP IN CHANDLER IS ID OPEN WEDNESDAY

The finest store of it's kind on the south side, the Mission Chocolate Shop of Chandler, will throw open it's doors to the public nexs Wednesday, June g. The Mission Chocolate Shop occupies the old Chandler nostOffice building, and in every respect it is con sidered an establishment of the high est class.
 The owners are l.. c. Updike and Albert Anderson, both business men of northern Arizona. MT. UpdiSe win be in active charge of the Chandler store, while Mr. Anderson remains in
 the north directing the business af- fairs of the partners from his home at St. Johns.
 A marvellous transformation has been wrought in the interior of the old postoffice in the fitting up of the new
 store. The effect is old mission. | Spanish style of finish being used 1 throughout. The fitting up of the es- l tablishment cost $14. .000, and those who
 have seen it declare it one of the most attractive places in the valley. A handsome marble soda fountain, | the latest in affairs of this kind, stands | to the left of the entrance. It is topped l by a Spanish hood of mission and red | roofing On the left at the end of the | fountain are steam tables for food and | refrigerating plate glass case for pas try. Just off of this and in the rear ! | yellow leaves and full electrical effect. Under the arbor are six booths, all in
 mission and lighted by cluster brush | brass lamps. which predominate in the | lighting system.
 On the right side are plate glass
 showcases for cigars, candies, station
 cry and art goods. Imported white Italian marble is used for the fountain,
 while Spanish tiling is used for the
 baseboards, with blue gray wood trim
 mings. The effect is a symphony of
 color and harmony. The shop has it's
 own gas plant with an up- to- date
 kitchen in the rear.
 The place will be lined with fans,
 with as perfect ventilation as is possi- 1 ble. The motto of the shop will be
 cleanliness and quality. Home cooking will be furnished in everything. The l service is of silver and the equipment
 is the most sanitary procurable. The
 chairs are Spanish leather covered and.
 in fact, everything about the place is
 up to the minute.
 A musical entertainment will be
 given the opening night, and every l body is invited.
