Parma Loses
State Highway

The State highway commission
met in Boise last Monday at
which a large delegation was
present representing Canyon, El-
more and Ada counties
The discussion was a warm one
between the delegates who were
divided in opinion regarding
routes, and verbal brickbats
we're as plentiful as newspaper
men in heaven.
Between Boise and Payette
four different routes were advo
Gated. One of these ran from
Boise to Eagle, Emmett and
New Plymouth. on the way to
Payette One ran from Boise to
Middleton, and from there across
to New Plymouth and Payette-
One ran from Boise, through Me-
ridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Notus,
Parma, and then up TO Payetre-
Still another ran IRON Boise,
to Meridian, Nampa and fald-
we'll At Caldwell it cuts across
the country to Falks, New Ply
mouth, Fruitland, and on into
Payette- This last is the one
chosen
The delegation selected to rep
resent Parma was unable TO be
present, owing to stress OF local
business, but would probably
have been defeated anyway, as
the advocates of the route chos-
en-, while not having the best of
the argument, had an advan-
tage numerically.

been born anyway, as last Fri

for the allegation that a Sucker
was in the Parma delegation to

tion. That was a ''dry" bunch,

it feels to be fish removed from

Sucker ever happen to forsake
his brethren and cistern and
