The matter of selecting a place
for the proposed new steel wag-
on bridge across Salmon river
in this valley, caused more or
less dissatisfaction, as three or
more bridge cites were proposed
by different people. Some time
ago $50 citizens of Challis pre-
cinct petitioned for the bridge to
cross at point about half mile
above the MCGOWAN ford, as it
would accommodate more people
than at any other point. But of
late another petition from Mac
kay, asked that the bridge cross
Salmon river about 2 miles be-
rlow the Barr bridge, and this
was the cite that the majority of
the Board selected, and we will
soon advertise for the sale OF
SIS, 900 bonds. In the matter of
county printing, joint contract
was let to the MESSENGER and
Mackay Miner for $5OO-each
paper to publish the official not
ices, etc, and each paper to re,
ceive $3.50 per year. The Board
thought this was too high, but
we intend to show by the folio
rate, allowed by law, for publ
cations, that our bid was toe
low by nearly $500. Next came
the hospital contract. We are
informed that DR.. Lynn's bid
was $S99.OO, and the bid of DIR.
Kirtley was 1900, and after due
deliberation the contract was let
to DR.. Kirtley. The Auditor
was allowed $500 for deputy hire
and the Sheriff S4OO. Chas. Zil-
key was appointed Road Over.
