FOR STANDARD HIGHWAY

of the present road between the mouth
of Whitebird creek and New Meadows.
There will be little dirt to handle. The
survey for the highway passes through
narrow canyon, almost entirely of rock
formation Besides making eXcava-
tons and building a percent grade,
numerous culverts and bridges must be
built, including bridge across Salmon
river, near higgins.
In addition to the project for which
bids were submitted, approximately
thirty-seven miles of the road between
Whitebird and New Meadows will not
be touched for some time. Bids for the
remaining thirty-seven miles cannot be
received until the next legislature makes
an appropriation for this work. These
remaining portions of the old road, how
ever, are not as rough as those sections
for which bids were opened Friday.
WHERE ROAD WILL GO
The project for which bids were sub
mitted is substantially as follows:
Two and one tenth miles of road from
a point about one and fourth miles
up the Salmon from the mouth of White
bird creek to Skookam creek.
Following a gap of about one and
quarter miles from Skookam creek, the
new road will be built over a bad stretch |
of about half mile.
Then there comes a gap of mile and |
a half or more, where no work will be
done. The specifications than call for
about one and tenth miles of road
around an ox-bow in the river, crossing
Mckenzie creek and thence to a point
a short distance beyond Slippery creek.
From this point, the old road will be
used to point just below Slate creek,
where construction of long stretch OF
new road will begin, and will continue
for 9.S miles, Just north of Lucille.
FIVE MILES OLD ROAD
From the township line, no work will
be done for a distance of five miles, or
to point a quarter of a mile up the
river from Chair creek From this place
the specifications call for two miles OF
road up the Salmon toward Higgins
All of the road heretofore listed is on
the east bank of the Salmon river.
At point two miles down the river
from higgins, the road crosses Salmon t
river, but from the bridge up the river {
for half mile no new road will be built
One-tenth mile of highway will be built {
On either side of and across Race creek.
From here the old road will be used
through higgins and up the Little Sal,
non river, passing through Pollock and
IN, four and half miles up the Little
salmon from Pollock, where the new
Dad is resumed for an entire distance
II 14.9 miles in Idaho and Adams coun-
les, to a point eleven miles from New +
Meadows. !;

NAMPA MADE
SOCIALIST
CENTER
Citizens Resent Republication
of Idaho Free Press Ar
ticles; Undesirable.

Nampa, Ida. May PA number of
Idaho newspapers have commented on
the fact that Nampa has been adyer-
tised over the nation, so far as Non
partisan league publications reach, as
"the Socialist center of Idaho due
to the fact that Nampa has been made
the headquarters of the Non-partisan
league in Idaho and the seat of its
official organ.
Republications here of some of this
comment has aroused resentment
among citizens living in and around
this city, not against those who have
called attention to the fact but against
the Non-partisan league manager who
have given this locality such an un-
desirable reputation, at "A time when
Socialism and Bolshevism are espec-
ially abhorrent in the minds of many
people. and especially the farming pop
ulation
The Non-partisan daily here made no
denial of the charge that the league
leaders had encouraged such adver-
Using for Nampa but launched INTO a
virulent attack upon newspapers thal
had called attention TO the facts. II
also so plainly revealed its Soclanstic
character as to arouse further OPPOSE
tion. -
This development comes on the heels
of publicly expressed indignation al
editorial utterances of the Non-paril-
san newspaper here in defense OF peps
and similar expressions of an iniiam-
matory nature. -
Returning soldiers and farmers have
been especially emphatic in their con
demnation of the tactics of the Non
nartisan league editors and feeling Is
keen among all classes of citizens
against the publication and the a,
TEMPT. as alleged, TO encourage noi,
sheyistic sentiment in this part Oh

Information Is Filed Against
Neal McMeeken BY
Prosecutor.
FOR KILLING WHITE
Sheriff Found Deceased Shot
Three Times, Brest,
Head and Arm.

Sheriff William II. Eller returned
from the Wind river section of the
Salmon river last Sunday afternoon
where he had gone to investigate the
killing of Charles White by Neal Nc
Meeken, on Manday, May 5, during a
quarrel relative to some property that
McMeeken had recently purchased from
White.
There were no eyewitnesses to the
shooting and before starting out to
surrender himself to the sheriff Nc
Meeken notified some oft he settlers
of that region who guarded the re
mains of deceased until the arrival
of the sheriff Sheriff Eller met Nc
Meeken ON the way out in company
with ii. r. Hinkson, who was depu-
tized by the sheriff to escort the pris-
iner to the county seat, where he was
placed in jail.
On reaching the scene of the shoot
ing after long arduous journey over
mountain trails, Sheriff Eller found
matters much as had been stated by
McMeeken, whose statement was to the
effect that the killing was in self de-
fense. The body of White had been
removed from the doorway Of the cabin
where he fell and had been wrapped
up and placed in the shade of some
trees after the men present had taken
precautions to note every circumstance
regarding the surrounding conditions
A coroner's jury composed of Ray
Parisot. Charles Scott, A. c. Bishop
j. l.. Chamberlain, Robert Highlands
and Thomas G. Hayward was sworn
in and in the presence of the sheriff
rendered verdict to the effect that
White came to his death as a result
of three gunshot wounds fired from a
gun in the hands of Neal McMeeken.
The investigation further disclosed the
fact that one of the bullets had en-
tered the back of the head and lodged
behind the left eye, one had entered
the breast, and the third had entered
the right shoulder, ranging directly
dcwn the arm. The men stated that
the body of White was found lying
III the doorway of the cabin with the
feet inside the building, face upwards
After the inquest a substantial box
was constructed by those present and
the remains of Charles White were
given burial near the scene.
The prosecuting attorney Il. Anger
after reviewing the report of the coro-
Aer's Jury and of Sheriff Eller filed an
information against McMeeken charg
inb murder In the first degree and his
preliminary hearing has been set for
next Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock in
the probate court.
