COMMISSIONERS GO
AFTER ROADlMONEY
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS GOES
TO BOISE AND ASKS FOR FOR
EST AND STATE FUNDS FOR
ROADS IN CUSTER COUNTY.

The new board of County Commits
sioners which was sworn into office
a week ago last Monday, as one of
their first official acts appointed Da
yid M. Williams, commissioner from
District No. 2, to represent the Board
at road meeting held at Boise on
the 18th and 18th of January, when
District Forester Rutledge of Ogden,
was present to consider applications
of the various counties in the State
for Federal aid on roads within Ma
tional Forests in this State.
Mr.. Williams left here Tuesday and
on Wednesday appeared before the
meeting at Boise, where he set forth
the facts that Custer County had re-
ceived very little aid for roads as
compared to the other counties in
the State, and that the County was
just as dependent upon outside aid
for our roads as the other counties
which had been receiving the major
lty OF the aid.
Mr.. Williams returned home last
Friday evening and reports that Mr..
Rutledge informed him that his re-
quest would be considered and he is
confident that we will: receive aid on
the Ketchum-Clayton highway the
coming summer
While in Boise Mr.. Williams called
at the Department Of Public Works
and had conference with. Commits
efoner Hall. chief of the Department
and received the assurance from Mr..
Hall that the link in the State High.

buttons. And If 1t had been made the
request would have been ignored. And
yet there are mail order houses that
receive more money out of This com
munity each year than do many local
business houses. The former pay no
taxes, they build no schools Or chur.
ches, they pave no streets, they add
nothing to the progress or life Of this
community.
This matter was brought forcibly
to our attention the other day when
somebody stated to US he had just
mailed $40 10 a distant house for an
order of goods. He could have bought
these goods from any one of half
dozen places in this city and just as
cheaply. He would have had the pri-
vilege of inspecting them before buy
ing and taking them with him that
day. Yet he sent his money away.
This case becomes more subject to
criticism in face of the fact that this
particular individual is carried on the
books of at least one local business
house for some hundreds of dollars.
When credit must be extended the
home merchant is asked to carry the
load and when cash can be paid the
mail order house gets it. That atti-
tude is all wrong and it might be ad
ded is not the least among the caus-
es that might be mentioned as con-
tributing to the poor business and E.
economic conditions of this territory

this county lies mostly in the hands

MANY times we have called at
tention to the wisdom of patronizins
the home merchants. There are ma
ny people in this county who send a
way to mail order houses for many
OF their purchases. They do this in
the belief that better bargains are
offered them by the distant business
places and that they can make a bet
ter deal. But it is a mistaken idea
and were it true it would yet be out
weighed many times by other consid-
erations. This community would be
quite sufficient for itself and far
more prosperous if the money that
is made here were also spent here
But the mail order houses get a
good share of it. In sending his mon
ey away the mail order customer
fails to take into consideration many
matters that rightly hold a claim up
On his attention.
The home merchant is your neigh
Dor and your friend. He is in touch
with your affairs and concerned a.
bout your success. He bears his part
in building the community and the
advantages ii offers. He pays TO keep
going schools. government and pro-
vide Improvements. He contributes
literally to churches and hundred
activities of one kind and another
that help to make the community
better place in which to live.
Within the past year numerous de-
