sure Building of Highway
Entire Way to Castle Greek

Twenty thousand dollars additional
has been allotted by the federal gov
eminent for construction Of the Elk
City highway, up the South Fork of
the Clearwater river This is the an
nouncement just made by the district
forest office at Nissoula, Mont.
At the present time, the first link
of the road, from Rocky ridge to
Castle creek, is under construction by
Otto Hanson, of Spokane. Under the
original agreement for building this
link, the federal government, through
the forest service, provided $135,000,
while the GRAM eville highway district
appropriated $4,000
The contract which was awarded
last June, provides for construction
of the road from Rocky ridge to
Castle creek, distance of about
eleven miles. 1t was apparent, how
ever, thct the $1S5,000 available was
not sufficient to complete the road
through the canyon to Castle creek,
and the additional federal appropria-
tion of $4,000, just announced is
made for the purpose of completing
this work.
Distance from Grangeville to Elk
City, by the proposed South Fork
route, is about forty eight miles, and
the cost of building the road the en-
tire distance to Elk is estimated at
$4,000

HOUSE LIKELY

HOUSE VOTES TO REPEAL


Boise, Feb s.-By an over
whelming vote, the house of rep
resentatives today passed senate
bill No. 66 repeating the 2-mill
highway tax law previously passed
by the senate. The vote in the
house on final roll call was 4s for
to against. The three democrat
ic members voted with Represen-
tative Fem, republican, Idaho
county.
On motion of Parrish of Ada
county, Speaker Johnston was
authorized to appoint committee
of FIVE, one from the judiciary,
one from the state affairs, one
from the appropriations and
one from the roads, bridges and
ferries committees, together with
the speaker, to confer with Gov
ernor Davis on further legislation
to take care of state highway
work during the next two years.
Governor Davis in his message
recommended the repeal of the 3
mill law. The speaker appointed
on this committee: Parrish,
chairman, Van de Steeg, Bailey,
Miller and Johnston.
When the 2-mill bill came up
on third reading for final vote,
Pond, of Banock, moved the pre-
vious question, shutting off debate.
Idaho house of representatives will
quite likely vote to repeal the 2-mill
tax levy for road construction. This
is the opinionof County Commissioner
George d. Smith, who returned to
.ast Friday night, from
Boise, where he spent three weeks as
a member of the legislative committee

BILL PASSES SENATE
The state senate last week voted to
repeal the measure, when it passed
Senate Bill Sc, by a vote of 80 to s.
1t is expected this measure will pass
the house. Senator Seth D. Jones, of
Idaho county, put up a determined
fight against the bill, so that the
levy might be retained to provide fur
ther funds for completion of the
North and South highway.
A bond issue for two millions dol
lars, approved by the voters of idaho
at the last general election, will pro
vide funds for road work, but much
of the money to be raised by this
bond issue he's been pledged by the
state commissioner of public works
to reimburse local districts through
out the state for money advanced dur
ing the last biennium for highway
$4,000 DUE HERE
The Grangeville highway district is
to receive $4,000 of this
money for funds advanced on the
South Fork highway.
When all pledges are paid, some
thing more than a million dollars OF
the bond issue will be left for new
work, but it is believed south Idaho
win receive most of this money. Com
missioner Smith is not sanguine over
north Idaho getting much money from
the state for road work during tn,
next two years.

TELL OF AGREEMENT

The plaintiffs, through the suit, seek
to recover money alleged to be due
them by reason of an agreement
said to have been male by Wallace
Scott, several years ago, by which he
was to pay Warren Scott, his foster
son, $4,000 at the time of the death
of Wallace Scott. The money which
Mr.. Scott, prior to his death, is al
legged to have agreed the foster son
should have been paid, is declared in
the complaint to have been the foster
son s remaining share of the estate of
Mary E. Scott, who died in 1910 She
was the wife of Wallace Scott.
The complaint begins by reciting
details of the adoption of Warren
Scott by Wallace and Mary E. Scott,
and it is contended, as the adopted
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Scott, he was
the heir to the mothers estate.

EMPLOYS PLAINTIFFS

The complaint recites that, in an eff
fort to procure 9. settlement from Wal
lace Scott on the estate of Mary E,
Scott, Warren Scott employed Moore
and Casady as attorneys, and theis
compensation was to be one-half of
the sum received in settlement. The
complaint further sets forth that suit
was Instituted in the federal court by
Warren Scott against Wallace Scott
for this money, but the case was
settled out of court According to
the complaint, Wallace Scott, at
the time of settlement, paid Warren
Scott $4,000, and agreed he should
be paid $4,000 from the mother s
estate when Wallace Scott died. Wal
lace Scott died in 1919 and, says the
complaint, the $4,000 has not been
paid TO Warren Scott.
Moore and Cassidy, in their com
plaint, contend that they are entitled
to their fees, of $500, from the
estate of Wallace Scott, in pay
ment for their services in bringing
about the alleged settlement.
According to the complaint, the
estate of Wallace Scott has been APP
praised at more than $4,000.
