JUNE CONSTRUCTION
VOLUME OFF "A PCT.
Building Contracts for Month in
Southeastern States Total
$47, AIS, 600

NEW YORK, July 12.-June
construction volume was IA per
cent under May, according to F.
W. Dodge Corporation. The de-
cline was general except in por-
lions of the Central West. Total
contracts awarded during June in
the SO Eastern States (including
about 7-8 of the total volume in
the country amounted to S371,-
034,000. In spite of the decline.
this figure indicates a large vol
ume of work started. Any month
that shows more than $35O,OOO,-
600 for these SO states is heavy
month. The decline from June,
1922, was per, cent.
Last months total included
$136,313,0OO or 81 per cent for
residential buildings; SIS, 1896, 900
or 20 per cent for public works and
utilities; $55,866, 900, or Is per
cent for industrial buildings; S44,-
727, 900 or II pc rcent for business
buildings; and $26,4100O0 or :
per cent educational buildings.
The June figure brought the to-
tai for the first half of the year
up to $2,IO9, $4,000. The in
crease over the corresponding
period of last year was 8 per cent.
During the past three months the
lead over vast year has been dwin-
ding. 1t seems probable that the
peak of this years construction
volume was passed in May. AL
though the second half Of the year
is not likely to have quite so large
a construction volume as the first
half, activity seems likely to keep
on at a very considerable rate.
Residential buildings continued
to lead all other classes during the
past. six months, amounting to
1898, 1856, 900, or AZ per cent, of
the total construction. This is one
Of the three classes which shows
an increase over the first half of
1922, the increase being 20 per
cent. Public works, and utilities in
creased 3 per cent, and industrial
buildings increased 68 per cent,
the biggest increase recorded.
Contemplated new work report
ed in June amounted to 569,OO8,-

This saving should be reflected in

Best for the West

Keep away from Los Angeles
will soon he a national watchword'
Judging from the persistent reports
that the southern California bubble
has finally been pricked. Los Angeles
is no place today for 4 man without
money unless he be a skilled work
man. Ordinary labor cannot find en-
ployment there. according to persis-
tant reports brought back. to this
section by southern California visi-
tors. Indeed. the great trek to south
ern California, while it continues. Is
making little Roadway Tor people are
leaving there as rapidly as they arrive
Los Angeles growth has been UNI
precented. Nowhere in all America
can 4 parallel be found. But the hey
day seems to have past. just as II
always does.
The ordinary person will assume
a sort OF 81 told you So attitude
Perhaps. as MORALS usually do, he will
indulge in a little mental exultauon
because it is characteristic OF America
to gloat when a champion falls. And
Los Angeles has been. in way. a
champion among cities.
But the VESTS best bet today are
cities on the coast with millions OF
people. Cities consume vast quanti-
ties of food products. And the west
needs market that will completely
eliminate the long haul to the east.
Los Angeles. \ city OF millions, would
be the finest thing Idaho could wish
for today.

Lesson to Learn

Wouldn't it be fine i Caldwell had
a few hundred thousand dollars avail
able right now to spend on municipal
improvements. Wouldn't it be fine
il we had funds to have taken ad-
vantage OF the unusually favorable
fall and early winter to sand and
gravel roads and streets?
But no. We vote bonds when times
are good, spend the money when labor
is high and scarce and costs OF con-
struction are at the peak. When the
the time comes that the work
would really serve a need in the COM
munity. when it would fill worth
while purpose. the money is gone.
And we pay with dear dollars for
what we ordered when money was
cheap.
Somehow. we can never seem TO
learn. Do you think there is any
possibility that the time will come
when we can vote bonds when times
are good and we are in a mood to do
il. and then spend the money when
times are not so good and men need
the opportunity to earn a few dollars.

DOES NOT CAUSE SOUR SOILS
No Ground for Common Belief That
Use of Acid Phosphate Will
Prove Injurious.

Contrary to popular belief, the use
of acid phosphate will not produce
acidity in the soils, according to
statement made by the workers in the
field Of agronomy at the New York
state college of agriculture at Ithaca.
The college long has advocated a
greater use of acid phosphate with
or without manure for fertilizing soils.
Some farmers however, have feared
that to do this would mean that great
ly increased quantities of limestone
or lime would then be required for
the growth Of clover and alfalfa.
These fears, however. are ground
less, it is stated. Indeed, experiments
made at Rhode Island show that acid
phosphate actually served to reduce
soil acidity. Or. Burgess, who made
the test, declares positively that
there is no foundation for the state
ment that soils will become more acid
from the continuous use of acid phos-
plate"
The soil specialists state, however,
that sour soil should be lined in adj
vance of the application of acid phos-
plate. s.Do not fear soil acidity from
the use of acid phosphate" conclude
the workers at Cornell who add that
with legumes and manure about 200
pounds of acid phosphate a year, on
an average, when used for grain and
hay crops, give excellent results.

APPAREL OF PRESENT SEASON
Close Alliance in the Making of All
WearabIes Is One of the
Dominant Features.

All articles of apparel are closely
allied this season in their making !:
soutache braiding has been introduced
on the short jackets and on dresses,
and the milliners of Paris made some
very clever hats in this mode as well.
The first hats of this type which came
into the country were not stressed to
any very great extent here, but as the
season has progressed retail shops
featured them. Naturally enough,
these hats are always in black or dark
brown and are rarely trimmed in any
thing except soutache buttons or per-
haps a tab of fur.
1t is interesting to know just how
important the dancing turban has be-
come and at all smart restaurants one
sees it worn in increasing quantities.
Gold or silver lame cloths make these
turbans for the most part, and al
though there are smart brocades In
tinsel and color shown in the shops
and worn, these are very much in the
minority. Probably the reason is that
the colored brocades are so much moro
expensive than the plain gold and sill.
