ROAD NEAR
COMPLETION
GRADING WILL BE COM
PLETED IN THE NEAR
FUTURE.

The Idaho Daily Statesman of
Boise in its Sunday edition of
November IA gave an excellent
description of the North and
South Highway now under con-
struction. Some very interest
ing facts and figures concerning
the road are given. Besides the
reading matter there were num-
erous pictures of scenic views
along the route. Following is
the text of the article:
Within the next few months
the grading of the North and
South highway, which will unite
northern and southern Idaho
will be practically completed.
This highway has long been
awaited as connecting link be-
tween Lewiston and Boise,
which would enable travel by au-
to from one city to the other
within a single day. The pre-
sent trip by rail takes 26 hours
and the traveller passes through
Washington and Oregon in going
from Lewiston to Boise, a dist
ance of $50 miles.
When the new North and
South highway is surfaced and
worn down for a few months the
canyon of the Salmon river, in
the wilds of central Idaho, will
echo to an ever-increasing vol
ume of automobile traffic. Ship
pers are now figuring on the
saving to be made by using
trucks for freight instead OF
making the long rail hauI
through Washington and Oregon
it is said.
Many years ago the pioneer
miners of central Idaho made g

following the Little Salmon from
New Meadows down to higgins
and the canyon of the Big Salm.

From here the trail wound uI

see and Moscow, and in other
sections of north Idaho. The
route will extend through Mos
COW and Latah county north
through Benewah, Kootenai,
Bonner and Boundary counties,
touching Potlatch, Harrison and
Bonners Ferry.
Thus the great barrier be-
tween north and south Idaho is
being broken down. The natural
obstruction formed by the great
Salmon river country, it is said,
has led the people of the north
ern part of Idaho to attempt on
several occasions the creation of
a new state, coprising north
Idaho and eastern Washington.
The next step in uniting the two
sections of the state is the con-
struction of a north and south
railroad. Surveys and esti-
mates for such road have al
ready been made and many be-
lieve it will not lie many years
before the present paper rail-
road" becomes a reality.

DID NOT WANT RIDE.

A complaint was filed in the
district court at Coeur d'Alene
Wednesday, in which DR.. p. j.
Scallon sues Sam Levy for $4,000
damages for alleged injuries in
an auto accident.
DR.. Scallon states that on
April % last he was invited by
Levy to take a ride in an auto
mobile, Levy promising to take
him "around a block" Levy
drove the car in the direction of
the Apple Way, against the pro-
test of DR.. Scallon. He states
that Levy, when near Spokane,
turned around and started back
at an excessive rate of speed, in
some instances as fast as 40
miles an hour.
Attempting to pass another
car, the one driven by Levy over
turned and DR.. Scallon sustained
severe injuries, he alleges.
DR.. Ssallon was former
Grangeville physician and is fav-
orably well known in Cottonwood
having removed from the county
seat to Occur d'Alene about a
year ago. The outcome of the
case will be watched with inter-
est by his friends in Cottonwood
and Idaho county.

AMENDMENTS CARRY.

The results on the vote on the
constitutional amendments sub
mitted at the recent election
await the canvassing of the re-
turns by the state canvassing
board, but, judging from incom-
plete returns received at Boise,
it is believed that all the amend
ments carried, with one or two
possible exceptions. The amend
ments were more popular in the
southern part of the state than
in the northern part and it is
believed that the southern vote
in their favor will overcome
majorities from northern coun-
ties which were adverse.

AGAIN WIN PRIZES.


Howard Mckinley and John
Funke, two well known breeders
of Poland China hogs of Cotton
wood, again came out with fly
ing colors at the Lewiston Live
Stock show held in Lewiston
last week. Both Mr.. Mckinley
and Mr.. Funke placed on exhibi-
ton at the Lewiston show a
larger number of hogs then they
displayed at the Boise State Fair
short time ago.
Howard Mckinley was award
ed 1st and 9TH on six months old
boars, 40 head Icing shown in
that class; third on get of sire /;
4th place on produce of dam, 6S
being shown; End and 3rd on fat
barrow.
John Funke secured 9th on six
months old boar, and in the
futurity, Bird ON six months boar,
3rd litter in futurity; and 7th
and 9Th in six months sow.
Both of the exhibitors were
loud in their praise of the stock
show and especially did they
complement the various judges
for their fair and impartial treat
ment. They returned Saturday
evening from Lewiston with
their pure breed hogs.

To Finish Link Soon
The Whitebird Grangeville
link of the North and South
highway is % miles long and will
cost two hundred seventy-five
thousand dollars. The eleva-
ton at Whitebird is 1400 feet
and at the summit of the 12-mile
hill, above Whitehird, the eleva-
ton is 3400 feet, making a rise
of 1000 feet in the l2-mile climb.
The hill road has a maximum
grade of 5 per cent. The con-
struction company which has the
contract for the Whitebird-
Grangeville section began work
in January, 1919, and will COM
plete this 22-mile link next Dec
ember, it is estimated. The
work has been under the imme-
diate supervision of J. J. McCre-
edy. resident engineer of the
state highway department, who
has been engeged on this project
for three years.
Route Along Canyon.
One of the most difficult piec-
es of road construction ever un-
dertaken in Idaho is the 68-mile
stretch from Whitebird to New
Meadows. Twenty-eight miles
of this in under construction at
present at a cost of seven hun
dred fifty thousand dollars. The
route is along the rocky canyon
of the Big Salmon, from White
bird to Higgins (32 miles)
thence up the Little Salmon to
New Meadows (36 miles). Steam
shovels have dug many miles of
the road out of the steep rocky
banks of the rivers. During the
past few months this highway
has been closed to traffic and
automobilists have been forced
to go from Lewiston to south

we are not Ny people have most OF
the defects, suppose, that other hui

Americans have been made to believe.
Not only are we Christian people,

us a chance to help ourselves and for
having promised us our independence,
which is one of the dearest desires of
the entire citizenship of the islands"
To American women whose ideas of
FilipinoS have been founded on Sun
day supplement descriptions Of wild
tribes, Mrs. de Veyra's gentle manner
and evident culture have been a reve
lation. She is sought by women's clubs
because of her charming manner as an
impromptu speaker on the subject
nearest her heart-the women OF her
country.
At recent Washington gathering
she gave in perfect English a concise
account of the work of woman's club
in Manila which supplies milk to the
babies of the poor and trains mothers
to care for their young children. She
told of another woman's club which

for the lepers, the insane and the con

Extravaaant Animals at the Zoo.

Extravagant Animals at the Zoo.
A deer with an Unsuitable craving
for chocolate almonds acted the thief
at the London zoo the other day. A
child offered it one and the animal
snatched the whole bagful-half-a-
pound-iust bought by an eXtravaGant
mother for 70 cents. The cat-bear.
or Panda. captive brought from far
Tibet, has developed taste for sui
tana raisins beyond all the other side
diets experimentally offered him. And
sultanas ARE horribly dear in England
now. The gaudy blue-faced mandrill
used TO save money for Its owners
by tempting the tame squirrels into
its cage and eating them. Its diet at
home in West Africa had consisted OF
roots and fruit interSpersed with rep
tiles and scorpions. Other monkeys
are tobacco-chewing fiends, and beg
piteously for cigarette stubs. The
African otter now much prefers fruits
and carrots TO fish, and the splendid
elephant seal, the only one known in
captivity, killed itself by gluttonous
indulgence IN buns.

Permit us to present the De Veyra
mily.
The Hon. Jaime G. de Veyra is the
Resident Commissioner from the Phil
ippine Islands to the United States and
has just been elected to second term
of three years. AS Resident Commits
sioner ne has seat on the floor OF
the American Congress, the privilege
of taking part in debates, although no
vote.
Commissioner de Veyra has an inter
esting wife and four bright Filipino
Riddles. The De Veyra family individ-
ually and collectively, constitute the
best argument as to the tact and capa-
bilities of FilipinOs that the Philippine
Islands have in Washington.
The commissioner is a 100 per cent
Filipino, a Visayan, and is one of the
foremost leaders of the party in power
I'm the islands. During American occu-
patton he has been successfully gov
ernor of his province, member of the
UlllIplHe NH'ihSh ''~'A'
Der and executive secretary of the
islands.
Like many statesmen of the Philip
pines, he was originally newspaper
man. He was one of the founders of
Ell Nuevo Dia of Cebu, the first Fill
Pine paper published advocating Phil
ippine independence. The paper came
under the censorship of General Nc
Intyre, and on the appearance of the
first number the editors were left in
the singular position Of seeing every
prominent article blue penciled.
Mrs. de Veyra, like her husband is
"live wire" in the Philippines cause,
She is the best known Filipino in
America She is an interesting public
speaker and is constantly giving illus
trated lectures at women's clubs and
other gatherings. Mrs. de Veyra is a
publicity bureau all In herself and has
put the Philippines on the map, so far
as the women folk of Washington con-
greSSional circles are concerned.
