COURT WILL HOLD
STANLEY FOR TRIAL
From Evidence Submitted by Wit
nesses for State, Opinion 10
That Justice Will Hold
Man for Murder

The preliminary hearing in the
court Of Justice of the Peace Richie
of Newton Stanley, Jr., for the
killing of Bonofacio Yragui, Sum-
day afternoon, September 17th,
was brought to close Thursday,
so far as the introduction of testi-
mony was concerned.
District Attorney Wilson, assisted
by special counsel in the persons of
Attorneys Brandon and Powell,
made the states case by placing
upon the stand a total of nine
witnesses, in the persons of Sheriff
George w. Brady, County Physi-
clan Giroux, Charles Rusow, an
adopted son of Mrs. Newton STAN
ley, Sr., and homesteader who
has claim in the immediate vicin-
ity of the scene of the killing;
Wade Snyder, sheepman, at whose
home and sheep camp Newton Stn-
ley, Jr., and Charles Rusow were
guests for dinner the day Of the
trouble; E. A. Bruce, a cousin by
marriage of the defendant, who
testified that young Stanley told
him--the evening of the killing,
and at the time that Stanley was on
the way to Cedarville, California,
to get doctor to have the wound
in his hand, caused by bullet
shot, properly cared for and dressed
in recounting the details of the
affair which eliminated in Bono
facio Yragui shooting Stanley in
the left hand and then falling dead

(Yragui.) He showed little fight
in the matter and did not want to
go away
At the conclusion of the testi-
mony introduced by the state the
defendants attorney, Kesner Wylie
waived the privilege of submitting
any evidence in behalf of his client.
The testimony given by the vari-
Gus witnesses is now being tran.
cribed into manuscript form and
after 1t is read to them, approved
and signed, Justice Richie will.
then render decision as to whether
Newton Stanley will, or will not
have to make his appearance in the
district court of Humboldt county
and make answer to the charge of
having feloniously killed his fellow.
man.
lnasmuch as the defendant makes
no denial of the killing but sub
mitted no testimony to support any
claim of justification, it is the gen.
eral opinion of those who are famil-
lar with court procedure that JUS
tice Richie is without alternative
other than binding the defendant
over for trial, and 1t is reliably
stated that the attorney for the
defendant expected the justice to
do nothing else and for that reason
refused to place the defendant OF
any of the other witnesses on the
stand, persuaded that to SO do
would prejudice the best interests
of his client when he comes into
court to face a jury of his peers,
in that the introduction of testi-
mony for the defense, at this time
would enable the prosecution to
more intelligently prepare its side
of the case.

MANY MILES NEW
ROADS TO Be BUILT
Highways of Ancient Rome WIN
Pale Into Insignifcancs COM
pared With Roads of This
Country When complets

Fifteen to twenty years Of build
ing good roads lie ahead Of the
United States. Under the program
which the country has adopted there
will be built during that time,
100000 miles of improved highways
which will constitute the Federal
aid highway system and an equal
or greater mileage of state and
local roads. When the great job
is done, the transportation facilities
of the country will far exceed those
of any other nation, past or present,
in the world. The highways of the
ancient Romans, whose fame has
come down through the centuries,
will pale by comparison.
Details of this vast road-build-
ing program are to be placed be-
fore the Highway Education Board
at its conference in Washington,
October 26 to %, inclusive, by
State Highway Engineers and offi-
cials of the Bureau of Public Roads,
United States Department of Agri-
culture, to whom has been entrusted
the work Of planning and supervis-
ing the construction of Feredal-aid
highways. The plan will be pre-
sented to enable the board to pro-
ceed authoritatively with its work
of devising aids for schools sd coli
leges to which road-builder sns
country are turning for competent
highway engineers. -
Officials of the bureau place the
aggregate cost of the Federal-aid
program alone at about 5000, ,000,-
900, spread over the twenty-year
period. They base..this estimate on
an average cost of $4,000 per mile.
The average cost, in turn, takes into
consideration all classes of improved
roadways from the cheapest to the
most expensive types. Approxi-
mately one-third of the proposed
system, or 10000 miles of improved
highways, already are either built
or building.
The program is a new one. Up
to comparatively recent years, road
building in the United States had
been conducted without special re-
gard to national system. High
ways had been constructed where
needed without considering whether
they would link up in the most
effective manner with the whole
network of roads to be spread over
the nation. Engineers had sought
more to meet immediate and local
demands than the broder require
ments of the states and nation.
The present Federal-aid road
building program, officials Of the
bureau state, will contemplate the
construction of only such roads
as fit into the national program
and contribute to the national sys-
tenn. At the same time the roads
will be SO selected as to serve the
most important local requirements.
With marked modification, the sys-
tenn adopted in building the rail-
ways of the country will be borne
in mind in the construction Of the
country's new highways. There will
be main lines of highway communi-
cation between centers and thou

SALARY TAILORED

A Good Job That Only Paid $500
Under Republican Rule Was
Raised Almost One-Half
By the Democrats
Especial to The Silver STATED

Especial to The Silver State)
CARSON GETTY, Oct. 13.-The
appointment of Robert Allen, as
state engineer and member of the
public service commission to sue
coed James G. Scrugham who re-
Gently resigned, at a salary of $5,-
900 year and expenses" has re-
suited in some caustic comment
upon both the selection and the
propriety of creating special sala-
ries for particular individuals.
In 1918, when VIM. Kearney re-
signed as state engineer, he was be-
ing paid a salary of $500 per
month. When Scrugham was named
by Governor Boyle as his successor,
Scrugham considered the salary too
low and Governor Boyle requested
the legislature to increase it to
$4,000 annually, in order to re-
tain his appointee, whom he was
then training for the governorship.
Boyle contended that Scrugham,
who had been teacher of engineer
ing in the university, was worth
$4,000 a year to the state, but
serious objections were made to
such an increase upon the ground
that the creation of large salaries
for special persons was an un-
sound legislative principle, as the
man succeeding him might be in
experienced and of less value.
The governor insisted, however, and
got the salary elevated to $4,000
by obtaining a straight increase of
$400 annually and then making the
engineer an ex-officio member of
the public service commission at a
specially salary of $1,000 a year,
making $4,000 in all. During the
log-rolling incident to all this il was
claimed that the services of Scru-
CHAM on the Public Service Com
mission would relieve it of certain
engineering expenses.
Events have since shown, how
ever, that the membership of the
state engineer on the public service
commission, has not saved the state
a cent. To the contrary, the COM
mission at once employed a special
engineer, who is now drawing a
salary for the engineering work that
the new commissioner was supposed
to perform.
Meanwhile young Mr.. Allen has
received his appointment as state
engineer from the Governor, upon
the recommendation of Mr.. Scru-
CHAM. He is drawing $4,000 a
year. A few weeks ago he was one
of the office assistants. Also he
becomes, by virtue of his voice, a
member of the Public Service Com
mission, one of the most response
BILE official bodies in the. state, q
commission that is supposed to be
made up of rate experts and pro-
found students in public utility law
and the practice of rate-making. As
state engineer he will be called
upon continually to determine water
applications and rights of the high
est value, in which water titles
worth great sums are involved.
The two positions call for a man
OF mature years and sound sjudg-
ment in irrigation and public utili-
ty law. The new appointee is q
very young man, recent assistant
in a state office, but he goes on
the state payroll at salary of $5,-
600 a year, and the story is that
Mr.. Scrugham has openly announced
that he means to re-appoint him in
case he is elected to the governor
ship.

The Real Facts Are


The attorneys not in agreement this proposition
No county in the state has been divided since the
ditch law passed. The law does not say the north
end would be free from liabilities for defaulted liens
in the south end. WHY the conclusion that the
North end is released? It may well be that the equities
of the matter will be- with the south end and that the
Courts would hold that the bond holders have right
to look the entire county for the payment of all these
obligations The law is plain, however that the North
end must assume and pay bonds for bitches within its
territory That is the price of COUNTY DIVISION.
The law does say that A territory transferred shall
continue liable for it's PROPORTION of the excess any
of the indebtedness of the original county above the
value of the county buildings and of the balance of its
funds in the treasury IN POINT OF FACT (as any
who has travelled the road north Of Washkish

county line little, if any, different in the peat

The Bemidji daily pioneer., 1922-11-02
The Real Facts Are

The old county will not have to pay $4,000 to the
county in the event of division. The floating in
debtedness only is considered in the above statement.
The floating indebtedness consists of the outstanding
warrants. The general bonded debt of the county
must also be considered in the calculation. The bond
ed debt of the county, exclusive of ditch and road
bonds plus the floating Indebtedness amounts to
$323,674. The law the subject provides that "all
territory transferred shall continue liable for it's
portion of the excess if any, of the indebtedness of the
original county above the value of the county build
ings and Of the balance of funds in it's treasury"
There appear to be funds with balance except
the ditch and road funds. The value of the county
buildings is given in the last financial statement
$159,550. Taking the last named sum from the gen.
eralf indebtedness of $685. ,674 above mentioned
have $164,124 the of general indebtedness
over value of county buildings Onefourth of $164,

will haveto pay the old county in cash. Of course,
if the ditch bonds Indebtedness of hte coun-
ty, the amount to be paid by the county to the
old county will be tremendously increased, the law
says specifically that the liability shall continue.
