least one-half inch thick. To receive
the horn a square tapered hole should

Real Saving

Give credit where it is due. Canyon
county commissioners have saved
taxpayers $4,000. On a wealth or
per capita basis. that reduction in the
cost of running the county doesn't
amount to much. Less than fifty
cents for each citizen, in fact. But
still it is there.
More significant is the fact that it
has been raining. the first fall percipi-
tation. This rain is related to county
affairs because il paves the way for a
little constructive work by the Canyon
county commissioners. Right now is
the time to get out with drags on the
county roads. right now is the time TO
