Commissioners to Build Sal
mon River Road.-Bills

Governor Hunt last Saturday
vetoed Is bills passed by the last
legislature and among them were
IL road and bridge bills. The
veto message on each road bill
case is as follows:
"The principal of state aid for
county road or a local bridge is
expressly forbidden in section 10
of article 3 of the constitution, and
is contrary to public policy.
Were this principle of making
appropriations for local bridges to
become settled, every county in
the state would make legislation
subservient to their desire to
secure the use of state money for
the purpose of local development
and combination of interests
would inevitably result in the
passage OF all bills of this char
acter"
These IL road and bridge bills
carried s63 900 and embraced all
but the Little Salmon bill apprO-
priating $12, 600, which was signed
some time ago.
The governor has appointed the
following committee to build the
latter road: r. f. Lockwood, OF
Weiser, James Witt, of Idaho
county, w. II. Cassidy, of Grange
vile.
The bond bill to raise $4,000
for the road expense was also
vetoed. Other bills vetoed were:
Creating the Office of assista nj
attorney-general.
Providing for the protection OF
stockmen by prohibiting the ship.
ment of stock from the state until
after inspection.
A fish and game law providing
for the issuance Of licen ses.
Providing for the immedite de-
scent of community property with

Appropriating 1857 for the
relief Of d. w. Ross, being the
deficiency in his salary for 1899.

refused to allow his name to be
presented.
With the exception of DR.. Bibby
they are all members of the pres

ord as managers of the city's affairs
makes further comment unneces-
sary. DIR. Bibby has for many
years been recognized as one Of our
most energetic and respected citi-

eral improvement of Grangeville
and vicinity with an unselfish
enthusiasm which has won for him
the friendship and esteem Of the
entire community, and his services
as village trustee will be found
with the best interests of the town.
1t has always been our good for

the general situation In the archipelago
and that while the civil authorities there

parts Of Lrzon. tho War Department Of

partment has Just taken up for considera-
ton the question of the return from the
