NEVADA INTERESTED
in new ROUTE
Humboldt County, Nevada,
Commissioners Looking
Shorter Route To
Idaho Points

Some time ago some agitation on
the matter Of new highway to
Nevada was started. 1t was planned
! to have the new route connect with
the Old Oregon Trail at Mountain
Home, going through Bruneau. Duck
Valley and into the adjoining state.
Nevada people are anxious that
shorter route into Idaho points be
established but at the present time
they are giving more consideration
to the route going through Jordan
Valley and making junction with
the Old Oregon Trail at Caldwell. It
seems that the time is now oppor-
tune for the Mountain Home Com
mercial Club to take this matter up
with the Idaho State Department OF
Public Works and to make an effort
to interest the Nevada people in the
other route The following clipping
IN this regard is taken from the
Reno Evening Gazette;
Declaring that although the pro-
posed highway from Boise. Idaho. to
Winnemucca promises nothing in
the way Of lost cities or great caves.
it is the most important road in New
ada w j. Bell. chairman of the
Humboldt county board of commits
sioners addressed IN eHumboldt lun-
cheon club yesterday at noon on the
topic of highways.
The road, Mr. Bell said, IS highly
important from an industrial stand
point, as It would serve a vast ter
ritory not otherwise open to travel,
while all other great roads in the
state parallel railroads. -
The road, he declared, would con
meet two state capitals. Carson City
and Boise. It would make travel to
Reno from the Idaho city possible In
twelve hours, and would place San
francisco within twenty-four hours
travel from Boise. 1t would also be
the most direct route to Helena,
Mont, he said.
Mr.. Bell believes that by proper
urging of appropriations to state and
national officials It Will be possible
to obtain funds for construction OF
an additional twenty miles OF the
road within year. Twenty miles
already are graveIed. from Winnie
mucca to Paradise Hill and It is the
desire OF the people OF Winnemucca
to obtain aid in construction to the
Oregon state line. The proposed
route of the highway will pass
through the southeastern corner OF
Oregon, in Jordan valley.
1--WE want the road for business
reasons Mr.. Bell declared in urg-
ing Its advantages.

BOARD SETTLES
ON ASSESSMENTS
Maximum Assessment On
Lands Under Local Prof
ect Will Not Exceed $95
Per Acre


The assessment of benefits undel
|. the s25O,OOO.0O bond issue has beeI
made by the Board of Directors Q
the Irrigation District The maxi
mum assessment against any piece o
property will not exceed $95.00. PEI
acre, being the original water righl
price of $500 per acre plus the ad.
ditional assessment of $1,000 pei
acre which is made in order to cover
the total bond issue. The minimum
assessment will therefore be $1,000
per acre where land owner had
paid in full for his water right.
The Board of Directors contem-
plate selling only $2OO,0O0.oO Of the
bonds, retaining the $5O,OOO.0O in
the treasury, which it is hoped will
never have to be sold unless an emer-
gency should arise when it would
be necessary to raise more money
The situation being that only $780,
10000 of the bonds will be sold and
Outstanding, the assessments which
will be necessary to make for interest
and principal win be only on the
bonds sold and not on those held by
the District. This will mean that
where a person owes for the& full
$500 per acre his assessment will
be at the rate of S155 on this
amount which viii pay the inter-
est at 6 per cent and 21s per cent on
the principal The 81a per annum
for the twenty years, the term Of the
bonds, will keep the interest paid
up and pay off the principal within
that time. This is on the amortiza-
ton plan, the same as the Federal
Land Bank farm loans which have
been made recently, In other words,
if no more bonds are sold than the
5000, 10000, the land owner who
owes for his full water right will be
assessed $7221z per acre per pear
for 20 years when his total bonded
Indebtedness under the bond issue
will be paid up. The land owner
who has paid half Of his water right,
or still owes $42.50 per acre will be
assessed 1886 per acre per year for
20 years when his bonded indebted
ness will be fully paid up, and so on
in proportion to what person still
owes on his water right. In addition
to this he will of course have his
regular annual maintenance to pay
which has been $3.50 per acre and
will remain the same for the pres
ent.

Paper

The proposal made by Secretary
Norman b. Addison that the Idaho
Home Industries Assoeiatiosgtonduct
a survey of printing in tss state of
Idaho, as to the proportion and the
value in dollars that leaves the state
each year is meeting with favor in
all sections of the site. The pro-
posal was made to tine members Of
the Association at 4 recent meeting
4 at Boise that a first a survey be made
of the printing that is leaving Boise
for out Of the state printers and that
this be extended through every city
in Idahe.
It is estimated that approximately
80 per cent of the printing of Boise
is done outside of the state and those
close in touch with the situation say
that this will run much higher in
many of the smaller towns Of the
state. Although the Association has
done much to combat this tendency
there remains much yet to be done.
Some of the business men when in
terviewed about their recent orders
Tor otit-of-state house, say that the
local printers are not on the job;
khat the high-pressure salesman
comes along and goes after the job
and in many cases gets 1t. Some
instances indicate that prices have.

BALTIMORE. June 1.-THE Amer
lean Legion is not asking for an addi-

eut national defense law be carried
out in letter and spirit, John r. Nc
Quigg, national commander of the
legion and brigadier general In the

banquet given in his honor by the De-
partment OF Maryland here.

said. THE trouble with mistakes in
this field is that 1t is impossible to
rectify them when war is forced
upon us. The members of the legion
are the truest pacif1sts. I have yet to
find one who wants to repeat his ex-
periences in France.

 l liked Jerry very much. In fact I liked him better than any other man I had ever met. I knew if would only say yes he would marry me immediately and from then on would he taken care of. Everything would be comfortable-and deadly monotonous.
 I would have no more trouble. I would not have to plan how I should earn money enough for my daily bread. All would have to do would be to make Jerry happy.

This woman had written much on love and marriage and this day she said: Tt takes a very clever woman to make marriage successful. There was time when woman only had to keep her house in good order, cook her husbands food to his liking and raise her children in the fear of God. And she would probably have on the stone at the head of her grave: Beloved wife of James Smith or some other name like that. Now we don't live in houses. And most of the married women I know patronize restaurants and deicates- sen stores. None Of them have any children and no one but a chef could cook a dinner 10 suit the men I have met since I have been in this town.
 Times have changed greatly and life has grown so complicated that marriage has become a business in- tcrlude and not romance.
