Quick Service
toNewMeadou,s
Plan of Boswell
WILL BE POSSIBLE To GO FROM
GRANGEvuLE TO BOISE
IN DAY

Through daily automobile passenger
service over the North and South high
way, between Grangeville and New
Meadows, will be resumed April Is,
according to c. G. Boswell stage line
owner, of New Meadows, who spent
Saturday in Grangeville.
Last summer and fall Mr.. Boswell
operated daily stages between Grange
vile and New Meadows, but with the
advent, of winter, was obliged TO dis
continue the passenger line. He mas
the U. s. mail contract between White
bird and New Meadows, but this con-
tract will expire July l.
After July l, Mr.. Boswell plans
to further improve his passenger ser
vice, making virtually one day the
length of time required to travel from
Grangeville to Boise. By leaving
Grangeville at in the morning, he
expects to place passengers in New
Meadows in time to board the Pacific
& Idaho Northern train, which leaves
New Meadows at 1890 for Weiser.
The train arrives in Weiser at 3:15,
where connection is made for Boise.
The Short line train arrives in Boise
about Z in the evening.
Leaving New Meadows on the arrival
of the Pin road train at IL in the morn
ing, stage will be in Grangeville by
at night, under the schedule which
Mr.. Boswell has outlined.

RECOMMEND MAIL
SERVICE TO GOLDEN

A. f. Parker and c. j. Simmons mem.
bers of a committee appointed by the
Grangeville Commercial club to inves-
tigate conditions affecting the star
mail route between Newsome and
Golden have made their report to the
club.
They recommend that the club petit
ton the fourth assistant postmaster
general at Washington, d. c., to re-
advertise for bids on the route, speci-
flying 2-day schedule over the route,
going from Newsome to Golden in one
day, and returning the next. Such
schedule would reduce the number. of
horses the contractor would be re-
quired to use on the line.
Bids were called in January for
carrying the mail, and specified that
the round trip, twice a week, should
be made in one day.

Harding Vetoes
Idaho 'LandSteal'
Bill; Hot Fight
SERIOUS OBJECTIONS TO HOUSE
BILL NO. n ARISE
IN STATE

President Harding, at the request of
the Idaho congressional delegation, has
vetoed house bill No. II, known as the
''land steal' measure, which provided
for the exchange of 100000 acres of
Northern Pacific railroad lands in
national forests in northern Idaho for
grazing lands in the public domain in
the southern part of the state.
The veto brings to close one of the
most important controversies that has
arisen in Idaho for number of years,
controversy that divided the sheep
and the stock men into factions and
caused bitterness because of the sides
taken.
History of the controversy starts
early in January when those who led
the fight in Idaho against the bill de-
clare they first discovered its exis-
ence. They say the measure was
not given proper publicity and that
but few of the sheep men of the
state knew of the existence of the
measure. They carried their pro-
tests to Washington and there held
with members of the
Idaho delegation Crawford Moore,
president of the First Notional bank
of Boise, presented the protest.
Miles Cannon, Idaho commission of
agriculture, attacked the measure,
charging that if it became law it
would give monopoly of the range
to few sheep men of the state.
The climax came with a mass meet
ing of citizens in Boise, resulting in
heated debate and discussion and
ending in almost unanimous passage
of resolution asking that the presi
dent veto the bill. Later Governor
Davis asked that President Harding
veto the measure as he considered it
detrimental to good public policy.
Members of the idaho congressional
delegation, who had previously indor-
'ed the measure, reversed their atti-
tude and joined in request for a veto.
Secretary of the Interior Fall and
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace also
recommended the veto.
An option on 100000 acres of the
Northern Pacific lands was secured by
Fred Gooding, of Shoshone, Homer
Fem, of Ogden, and James Z. Clinton,
If Boise, and after the land was to go
INTO forest reserves they were to To-
cate an equal amount of lieu lands
n southern Idaho. When this was
earned Tdaho's citizens protested and
asked the bill be killed.

n. P. To BUILD
CENTRAL
IDAHO, RUM0R
Construction to Soon Be
gin Between Whitehall
and Dillon, Mont, Report
Will Come Down River from
Salmon City to Grangeville,
and on to the Pacific Coast

Early construction of railroad from
Salmon City down the Salmon river
to connect with the Camas Prairie
railroad at Grangeville, is regarded as
a possibility.
Much interest has been shown local
ly in the revival of railroad talk, and
there are some who believe the line will
be built at an early date, despite that
a railroad bisecting Idaho by the Sal
mon river canyon route has beer. dis
cussed for many years, with no actual
work done.
WHERE RUMOR STARTED
The Spokane Press, for Marcel 2,
carried a story which would indicate
that a short cut is to be made by the
Northern Pacific in its line from st.
Paul to the Pacific coast, thus eiiminat-
ing for through traffic the climb
across the Bitter Root mountains, be-
tween Idaho and Montana, and the
grade over the Cascades, in Washing
ton. If the road were built down the
Salmon river, it would leave Spokane
off the main line, so far as the
Northern Pacific is concerned.
1t is believed that, if the railroad
were actualM ~ it would be an
important artery of commerce between
the east and the west, for the reason
that from the continental divide in
Montana, il would have a strictly
water grade to tidewater.
CUTOFF IN MONTANA
The Spokane Press story follows:
The Northern Pacific will short
w start construction of line
from Dillon, Mont, TO Whitehall,
Mont, according to the Lauzier-
Walcott wire today. 1t will then
use the Short line tracks to Arm
stead, and from that point use its
Pittsburg & Gilmore line to Salmon,
Idaho, building from there to the
coast, via Grangeville, which is
the eastern terminal of the Camas
Prairie road owned jointly by the
Union Pacific and the Northern
Pacific.
Surveys for this new construc-
tion have been made. The route
to the coast will be shortened by
the Salmon cutoff, also giving the
line water level route to the
coast, eliminating the mountains
west of Butte.
To supply power for the line,
the Northern Pacific is said to
have taken over water power sites
on the Salmon river. A rich
mining and agricultural country
will be taken up.

SALMON RIVER
ROAD WORK To
SOON.
Highway Will Be Finished
the Entire Distance from
Grangeville to Lucille
Engineers Go over Ground
Preparatory to Call for
Bids on Two Big Projects

North and South highway will be
completed from Grangeville TO Lucille
as rapidly as possible, and the high
way also will be finished from New
Meadows to point mile below Round
Valley as soon as the work can be
done. This was definitely learned by
the Free Press Wednesday, following
a trip of inspection to the Salmon river
canyon by f. E. Kidder, engineer for
the u. S. bureau of public roads,
Ogden, Utah; William Osborn, district
highway engineer, of Lewiston, and
j. j. McCreedy, resident engineer.
The engineers went over the ground
between the mouth of Whitebird creek
and Lucille preparatory to the call
for bids for highway construction.
It was announced in January that
bids would be called about February
Is. A slight delay has occurred in
advertising for bids on the job, but it
is believed they will be called in about
thirty days. At any rate, actual con-
struction work on the two projects will
be under way this spring. This is
positively stated.
Three hundred thousand dollars will
be expended between the mouth of
Whitebird creek and Lucille. Ten miles
Of new road will be built in this ter
ritory, thus connecting Whitebird and
Lucille by standard highway. The dis
lance is about twenty-three miles, but
thirteen miles of new
highway have been built in this ter
ritory during the last few years by
Grant Smith & Co.
Two hundred thousand dollars will
be expended on 12-mile job between
New Meadows and a point mile north
If Round Valley.
