This estimate found that on a certain road which it studied, concrete construction should pay for the original cost in fifteen years. If wear and tear on trucks, cars, and tires were charged, it would seem that it should pay for itself in considerable less time. Of course, the amount and weight of traffic is a principal factor in determining whether such an improvement would pay.

SOUTH IDAHO COMING BACK.
South Idaho is coming back fast; new enterprises, new people, new capital interested, and a general revival.
The American Falls dam storage project is the biggest thing in southern Idaho and is attracting nationwide attention, capital and people.
From all accounts, Twin Falls is to have a southern railroad outlet, giving that section a direct routing to the east.
Southwestern Idaho is taking active steps for community cooperation and getting the interest of the people of that section of the state and publishing the fact that southwestern Idaho is a good place in which to live and make a home, and it is a good place.
Southeastern Idaho, however, is better equipped in many particulars than any other section of the state, more water and better land to put it on with a greater per acre return in value and all that we have to do is to tell people about it and secure their interest.
The days of waiting for something to happen and for conditions to relieve themselves are over.—Idaho Falls Times-Register.
