The following communication, written
by former Deputy Sheriff William FL
Ter, is published by the Free Press at
the request Of Mr.. Eller:
To the Public:
II has been reported to the Grange
Vile Globe that | quit the sheriff IS
office to engage in the sheep industry,
but / will state that this is not my
reason for quitting. | have an inter
est i'm small bunch of sheep that
Mr. He'll and myself bought last fall
and at the time that we bought them
made arrangements for them to be
taken care Of without my quitting my
job ] had other reasons for quitting,
that ! don 7 care to state through the
press at this time.
The Globe also says that ! have,
through my attemept to enforce the law,
created quite an opposition TO myself.
] don t belive that ] have made one
enemy among the good people of Ida
no county. There is small element
here in Grangeville which no doubt
doesn t like my style But they are
small in number and also small other
wise. / believe and am willing to
state that the only enemies | have
made were made while / was doing
and trying to do what ] thought was
mt least my sworn duty and ] have no
apologies to make to those people.
The only thing ] regret is that |
WASH t in a position to 90 stronger.
While ] might have made a few sore in
that way know that have made
hundreds Of friends all over this big
old county and friends who will last.
Most of what little things that ] have
accomplished, or what we call getting
results, have been done by friendly tips
from those same people and I will say
right here that the man taking my
place, as any other man, cannot ac-
complish things or get results unless
he makes friends.
Somebody has also passed Judgment
through the Globe on me and other
Democrat quitting office You must
remember / WASH t elected TO any Of
flee, and if ! had been wouldn Z
have quit, and don t lay it all on the
poor old Democrats. ] know some good
men on the Republican ticket who also
have resi- gned. But ] am not blaming
them. ] Just mentioned it to show
that they are not all Democrats who
have quit. ] think there is too much
racket made about political stuff We
are all Americans now. ! viii wind
up by thanking the people I'll over

they have shown me while / was on

NEED MORE HIGHWAY MONEY
$4,000 Additional Required for
Proper Roadway.

More money must be raised to prop
erly construct the Grangeville- White
bird link in the North and South high
way, according to H. C. Allen, state
engineer, who is in Grangeville meet
ing with representative citizens.
This important piece of road, the
survey for which already has been
made, should be constructed wider
than the original specifications call
for, according to Mr.. Allen, and the ad-
ditional sum of $4,000 must be raised,
to insure proper construction of the
road. Of this sum, the state of Idaho,
through the state highway commission,
will provide $4,000, and the federal
government $4,000, and Idaho county
is expected to raise the remaining
$4,000.
Method is Not Decided.
Just what method will be adopted in
order to raise the $4,000 has not been
decided. A bond issue is under discus
sion, and a meeting win be held to-
night to further consider the matter.
Mr. Allen took up the proposition be-
fore the Grangeville Commercial club,
at its luncheon Wednesday, at which
time he said the roadway should be
widened, in order that it might pro-
vide a l6-foot wearing surface. This
would require a road twenty feet wide
through the cuts and a 20-foot sur
face on all cuts. Original specifca-
tions called Tor a road varying in
width from twelve 40 twenty feet
Under the plans of the presest high
way engineer, there would be no turn
outs on the road, but it would be wide
enough that vehicles could pass at any
place on the highway.
$15O,OOO Available
Already $4,000 has been provided
for construction of the highway, and
the additional sum asked for would
bring the total cost of the twenty-one
miles from Grangeville to Whitebird to
$225,000. This, however, would include
the cost of hard-surfacing five miles
of road through the adobe flat i'm
mediately west of Grangeville This
work, it is estimated, would cost $24,-
OO0 The first estimate of $4,000 did
not provide for hard-surfacing.
Besides, the state highway commits
sion and the federal government proba-
bly, will agree to provide money for
continuing the highway from the town
of Whitebird for distance of one and
onefourth miles, to connect with the
convict-made road along the Salmon |
river.
The survey calls for not more than a |
5 percent grade at any place between
and Whitebird. Whitebird |
folk, as well as Grangeville residents,
arc greatly Interested i'm the highway |
and both towns and the surrounding
countryside are expected to literally |
support the project.

What then will your conscience say 81?
Ii you have done your duty; if you
have bought generously of Liberty
Bonds there will come to your mind

Think upon these matters when
you are asked to support the credit

your conscience by buying $50

LIBERTY LOANS IN NORTH
DAKOTA

1t has been frequently asserted by
newspapers and speakers in this
state that the people of North Da-
kota failed by wide margin to sub
scribe for their quota of bonds of
the first and second Liberty Loans.
These assertions have been made
for the purpose of discrediting the
patriotism of the members of the
Non-Partisan league. 1t is poor pol
Icy to attack any organization with
out being sure of the facts, and in
this case the critics of the league
seem to have been sadly misin-
formed.
Wesley c. Mcdowell of Marion,
chairman of the state committee
which is to handle the Third Liberty
Loan in North Dakota, writes that
the allotment of bonds of the first
loan to that state was $1,500,000,
but the people subscribed for $3,200,-
600, and that the states quota of the
second loan was $4,000, 900, but the
people subscribed for $10,000,000 OF
the bonds. He further says that the
people of North Dakota are intensely
loyal.
This statement is published, not
as a defense of the Non-Partisar
league, but to correct the incorrect
assertions which have been made
either through ignorance or with will.
full intent There is nothing fair OF
right in falsely impugning the pa.
triotism of the people of a whole
state in order to discredit a politica,
organization in that state. The Non
Partisan league may be lacking in
patriotism, but that fact should be
proven i'll some other way than by
incorrect statements, regarding the
amount of Liberty Loan Bonds solo
| in North Dakota.

1t is the custom of the Senior class
of Baylor University at Waco to leave
each year some rememberanCes to
the school. The class this year has
decided to purchase a quantity OF
Liberty Bonds as a gift to the school.
The seniors of 1917 had a magnifi-
cent gateway to the athletic field con
structed, and those of the year be-
fore had a comfortable campus seat
erected. All these helped to beauti-
fly the campus and were of material
benefit to the school. The 1918 SEN
Tors decided the purchase of Liberty
Bonds would be more in line with
the present times, and they will leave
them as q memorial.
