Repair Old Bridge
to Render It Safe
Road Gang Fixes Up
Canyon Hill Structure
to Bear. Heavy Traffic.

Men, under the direction Of The
county road department, have been
employed the past week repairing the
Canyon Hill bridge across Boise river
New piling has been driven into the
river bed and will be used to support
the structure which was condemned
IS unsafe by the board Of county
commissioners some time ago. No
effort will be made to permanently
repair the bridge, II being the inten-
tion to make it safe until such time
Is It IS possible to erect new struc-
ture. RW
Provision has been made in the
1920 county assessment roll for funds
to pay for new bridge, or at least
q portion of it. This money, as soon
as. it become available, will be used
in putting in concrete piers just be-
low the present bridge site where the
new supsrstructure will. be erected.
Only enough funds ar provided IN
this years tax roll for half the es-
innate cost of the bridge. It is ex-
pected that the incoming board of
county commissioners will follow the
plan outlined and complete the new
bridge with all possible speed. I'm
expectedly heavy traffic. which has
been far beyond the safety point for
the present bridge which was erected
many vars ago when heavily loaded
trucks were unknown, made the old
bridge unsafe and necessitated the
erection of a new one.

SELLS MANY AGRICULTURAL
h FILMS TO STATE AGENCIES

Numerous sales Of United States
dcpartnaent Of agriculture films. have
been made to Agricultural colleges, ex-
tension divisions, and other organiza-
tons co-operating with the federal
department. Constant requests for
the films, which picturize wide range
sof agricultural activities, are being re-
Hceived from many quarters. and the
number OF sales is increasing rapid
", under an arrangement BY which
the purchaser pays the contract charge
OF commercial manufacturer. TN
The film library Of the department.;
which now includes liz agricultural
subjects. offers AN opportunity for
state and local agricultural organiza-
tons and agencies to establish or add
to their stocks of motion pictures.
Establishment of film Libraries in the
states will go far, according to men
in charge of motion picture work for
the federal department, toward work
ing out efficient and inexpensive
methods of motion picture distribu-
ton among agricultural agencies.
The latest purchaser among the
state colleges is Washington state,
which bought copy of the film, "Se-
Letting Laying Hen" The picture
will be circulated throughout the
state, and poultry specialists expect it
to be beneficial in demonstrating good
methods of culling poultry. Other
sales have been made to the director
of agricultural extension in Lousisia,
who bought copies of Home Demon
stration Agent" Government Poul-
try Farm" and "Embryology of the
Egg" The North Carolina extension

Operators Plan to Halt
Speculation From Mine
Propose Limitation on All
Reconsignmenfs of Cars
Shipped TO Tide,pater Ports

WASHINGTON, July 3l.-Measures
20 eliminate speculation in shipments
OF coal from the mines to tidewater
ports were taken up at conference
mere to-day of representative opera
tors OF oltuminous coal. The measures
alscussed covered bituminous coal, both
Tor domestic use and for export.
The conference was called by Colonel
u b. Vent. of Philadelphia, president
OF the National Coal Association. rep
resentlng more than 1000 bituminous
coal operators.
committee was appointed to formu-
late practical plans, involving a severe
limitation on the reeons ignment of cars
"a practice now ID vogue and utilized
by spectators to keep coal from the
market for higher prices. The plans
VIII be submitted for approval to the
ASSOCIATION of Railway Executives and
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
1t was recognized by to-day's CON
ference that Speculation in EXPORT coal
has been material factor in the short
age and high prices of fuel
During the conference it developed
that speculation in coal along the At
lantlc coast is made possible by liberal
reconslgnment privileges extended to
Shippers by the railways. Other causes
are demurrage and other provisions Of
the tidewater coal pools which are man
aged and operated by the railways
under sanction of the Interstate Com
merce Commission and the methods of
handling tidewater shipments on diff
ferent railways
The exporters at to-day's conference
were unanimous in their conviction
that the present methods result in ex-
cessive delays to cars of coal, conges-
ton in yards and terminals, and play
directly into the hands of spectators,
who have no real interest in the pro
duction and equitable distribution of
coal nor any regard for the public in
terest.
Information before the conferees
points to the conclusion that, as the
railroads are at present handling tide
water shipments, 5000 more cars are
being used in this movement daily than
are necessary. If spectators can be
denied the use of these cars the OPP
portunity for such speculation, with
the high prices this practice brings,
will be prevented
This misuse of transportation by
spectators in the Atlantic seaboard
states, the operators say, is affecting
the production, transportation and dis
tribution of coal in all the territory
east of the Allegheny Mountains.
