'C[A|M WASTE
|0F MONEY ON
STATE ROADS
County Commissioners, Meet
ing in Boise, Suggest Abol-
ishing Highway Department
Assert Funds Raised by Coun-
ties Largely Spent on Engin-
eering and Overhead Costs

Adjustment of the state highway
department as an extravagant and un
necessary arm of the state government
the State County Commissioners as
ISOLATION, which met in Boise this week.
Recommendation that the resolu-
tions ask the entire adjustment of
the state highway commission came
toward the close of a lively session,
at which twelve or fifteen commits
sioners from counties had declared their
cooperation with the highway depart
ment had proved costly and had not
resulted in the construction of roads,
but that practically all the money
which the counties had been forced 10
put up had been expended in excessive
engineering costs and overhead.
Among the speakers who most
strongly attacked the commission
were r. B. French of Blaine county,
Commissioner Harvey of Bannock, L.
B. Marklson of Payette, B. n. Meek
Of Franklin and Commissioner Can't
well of Valley Many others voiced
4 sentiment that their experience in
cooperation with the state highway
partment had proven detrimental to
Dad construction and costly to the
counties.
The commissioners voted unani-
nously to maintain a legislative com
nittee of five in Boise during the leg
slative session.

Farmers, Attention.

We are now prepared to handle an
increased flow of milk, and with this
purpose are arranging to organize
routes for bringing it in. Such meth
DDS are used very successfully by the
Dry Milk Co. at Anoka, where each
driver has his own truck or team and
his own route, and makes a very sub
stantial monthly return for the haul
ing. We would like to arrange with
several good reliable men to operate
routes, preferably from among the
farmers who live on them, and are
ready to aid such men to buy trucks
or otherwise, and will guarantee them
a steady good paying position. Those
interested in this opportunity should
call at our factory in person.
We are paying S2.65 per 100 lbs. OF
milk, or more than twenty cents a
pound over butterfat prices, and the
satisfaction expressed by those now
selling milk to US makes it apparent
that all the farmers will appreciate
this local high priced market.
