SIDE ISSUES OF IRRIGATION'.
Bridge and Road Taxes Complicate
the Problem.
The Twin Falls (Idaho) Times
voices the appeal to the people of
that tract for county aid to build roads
In the following language:
The Land 4 Water company has
expended, according to a statement
made to the good roads committee
Wednesday, J30.000 for bridges on
this tract And according to an esti
mate made by him. It will require
160.000 to build the bridges now de
manded on the tract on roads already
laid out which approximates one
third the amount that will be neces
sary when all the section line roads
on the tract are thrown open. These
statements are here made for the ben
efit of our board of county commis
sioners, who this year appropriated
less than $4300 for roads In the entire
county.
A committee last fall, before the
levy was made, appeared before the
board and made known conditions as I
they exist They left with the im
pression which was almost a prom
ise that $2500 In lumber would be
apportioned the three road districts
bere, the settlers to donate work of
building the approaches and putting
the bridges in. Instead they received
15,000 feet 6000 for each district,
which could have been purchased
here for $300. -
Their policy has been niggardly In
the extreme. This tract last year ad
ded a third to the assessment of the
county, and will double It next year.
This township alone. In eight months
after the township was opened, was
assessed at more than $600,000. Popu
lation Is pouring In at a rapid rate,
and within a couple of years this tract
will have a greater population than
the balance of the county. If the pol
icy la to make this section bear Its
portions of the burdens without get
ting Its due return, what will be the
policy when we have the supremacy?
We are now contributing to build
roads In other sections, helping to
maintain their schools. This township
pays $1000 Into the road fund. So
far we have received back $300, and
we have need of $3000.
One-third of the taxes of the coun
ty came from this tract. We must
pay a third of levies more than $11,
000 which we had no part In creating
and from which we receive no benefit.
The settlers of this tract pay more
Into every county fund than they re
ceive back, and, appreciating this fact.
they believe they should receive some
thing more substantial than promises
In the matter of bridges.

suspended from college and 11 mem
bers of the sophomore class who took
part In the hazing, have forfeited all
of their college credits for the semes

class have been compelled to forego

the sophomores guilty of the hazing
amounts to one-eighth of their entire
college course.
The matter of the hazing of the
freshmen was brought to the atten

were In session todny, but after dif

called before the board for examina

to the matter by that body. The affair
was let drop when the student body's
r.ttltude In abolishing all forms of

HUMILIATION
For Fifteen Years Face and Body
Mass of Itching Sores Could

Failed Had Lost Hopt
CURED BY CUTICURA
AT COST OF $1.25
" My head was one mass of scabs,
my forehead was covered down almost
to my eyebrows, and I had to wear
my hat all the time. My body was
covered with spots in size from a pin
head to as large as a silver dollar. A
white, crusty scab would form and
itch, and words cannot express the
torture and humiliation I suffered for
fifteen years. I tried many doctors,
and all kinds of treatments, but could
get no help, and I thought there was
no hope for me. A friend told me to
get Cuticura. I did, and in three days
my head was as clear as ever. I ap
plied tin-Ointment night and morning,
also taking a hot bath three times a
week, and usiujj the Ointment freely
after the bath. After using one cake
of Soap and two boxes of Ointment I
was completely cured, without mark
or blemish. I was so pleased I felt
like running down the street to tell
every one I met what Cuticura had
done for me. If any one is in doubt
about this, they may write to me.
