Mr. Herboth’s window decorating in’ Cotton- wood has given him an enviable reputation on the outside and several firmus within the last few vears have attempted to procure his seyvices. A large number of his window decorations in Cot |tonwood have been reproduced in the Hardware Journal, a mag- azine of wide circulation, among the hardware concerns of the country. BUY FEEDERS. Edwin Nelson, a prominent rancher of the Denver section was in Cottonwood Saturday on business. Mr. Nelson while here stated to the writer that he $2.00 PER YEAR COST $1.92 PER BUSHEL. | The farm management de- | partment of the University of | Idaho with the cooperation of | federal authorities will continue | its survey of farm costs this |season. The survey of 1919 | established that the cost of pro- | ducing wheat was $1.92 per bu- | shel, that 80 acre farms were more profitable than larger or | smaller units and that of inter-| | tiled crops potatoes were most | profitable. | BONDISSUE FOR ROADS COUNTIES HAVE RAISED | $6,000,000 FEDERAL GOV. WILL ADD SHARE One of the important measur- | es to come before the people at the coming election is the pro- posed issne of $2,000,000 in state bonds to build highways. The state legislature at the ses-) | sion in 1919 passed an act prov-| iding for such a bond issue, but) it will not be operative until rati- fied by the people. The bill authorizes the state treasurer to issue 20-year bonds at a rate of | interest not to exceed 5 per cent. It provides for a levy of four-! tenths of one mill (.0004) upon) |each dollar of taxable valuation in the state to be paid into a redemption fund. This tax is only 40 cents on each $1,000 val- uation and will cover the pay- ment of both principal and inter- est. At present the state receives about $1,000,000 from the spec- ial two-mill tax. With the bond issue added, the state will have $3,000,000 for its share of high- way work. Under the present system of cooperation, the coun-, ties and highway districts will, provide $6,000,000, which sum they have already voted in recent bond elections. The fed- eral government may match a large portion of this fund, dollar for dollar. Both political con- ventions have pledged their can- didates to a more equitable dist- ribution of federal funds throughout the west, so that Idaho may expect, and will prob- ably get, substantial appropria- tions for highways in the forest reserves, Indian reservations and other government-owned lands.

The explosion of the can which contained two gal- lon of gasoline was heard by men several blocks away. FRENCH HERE WEDNESDAY Burton L. French, representa- tive in congress and candidate for re-election on the republican ticket, spoke in Cottonwood Wed nesday evening to a fair sized audience. Mr. French made a very interesting and instructive talk, living up to his former re- putation as an orator and leav- ing personal abuse of any kind from his address. Congressman French has been a very able re- presentative in congress and no doubt will again be returned to his seat. That he made votes in Cottonwood for himself is a question beyond a doubt. and Mrs. Herman Funke and hee spent most of his life in this locality. He is a voung man of fine character and business abi! ity and is now engaged in farm- ing on the Bieren ranch, where thev will make their home.
