$4,000 to Be Expended in
Placing Rock on
Highway

State department of public works
will shortly commence surfacing the
Whitebird hill with crushed rock.
Thirty-six thousand dollars will be
expended in the work on the White
bird side of the North and South high
way grade. The grade from Grange
Vile to the summit has already been
surfaced.
A large rock crusher was shipped
TO Grangeville by the state this week,
and is being moved to location on
the Whitebird hill.
Surfacing will commence at a point
about one mile above Whitebird, and
will be continued up the hill as far
as the $4,000 expenditure will per
nit. 1t is believed eight or nine miles
Of highway can be surfaced, and that,
If the money is not sufficient to per-
nit connection with that portion or
the road already surfaced on the
Grangeville end, it will be possible
to practically reach the present sur
facing.
Rocking of the Whitebird grade will
eliminate muddy sections of the new
road during a part of the year, and
will provide an all-year automobile
highway between Grangeville and
Whitebird.

Finding of Giant Skeleton
Beneath Salmon River Bluff
May Bring Scientific Investigation

Excavations. In the Salmon river
canyon, in order to determine wheth-
er, beneath huge bluff mile above
Slate creek, lies the graveyard of a
prehistoric race of giants which at one
time inhabited what is now Idaho
county, is expected to soon be under
taken. perhaps by eastern scientists,
following the discovery, in the bluff,
of the skeleton of a woman, who was
s IL to nine feet in height.
Harry Vincent and Lawrence Tip
ton, while employed on the North and
South highway, discovered the giant
skeleton, as they were excayating ma
terial for filling the road.
Unearth Mammoth Skeleton
Suddenly, under the bluff which
overlooks the roaring Salmon river,
their spades struck an obstacle which
impeded progress. They dug for a
short time, and finally mearthed the
skeleton. Some of the bones crumbled
when exposed to the air, but others
were in a better state of preservation.
and a few were retained by the men.
''The lower jaw more resembled a
sleeps jaw than human jaw" said
Mr.. Vincent in telling of the dis
covery. In each jaw were nine front
teeth, and they much resembled ivory,
Mr.. Vincent related. They were in
perfect state of preservation, but there
were no back teeth in either jaw.
OF the bones that did not crumble,
the men retained the skull and one

of the bones were thoughtlessly In
cluded with the dirt and loose rock
that was applied to the highway, and
now form part of the roadbed over
which travel automobilists who ira
verse Idaho's scenic highway.
From the formation of the skeleton,
it was pronounced as having been
that of woman. The bones were
found beneath thirty feet of earth.
To Smithsonian Institution
The bones that were saved have
been sent to the Smithsonian institu'
ton, in Washington, ID. O., In order
that scientists identified with the In
stitution may inspect the remains OF
this prehistoric human being.
1t is deemed likely that as result
of the find. scientists will come to
Idaho county and conduct an exhaus-
tive investigation. Thousands of tons
of earth will be removed, should the
excavation be undertaken, and the
section of the country will be thor
oughly probed in the interest of sci
ence.
Mr.. Vincent declared that, even
though no scientific party undertakes
the work, he and Mr.. Upton have
decided to dig in the hill that yielded
the mysterious skeleton, in hope that
they may find more evidence of the
race that roamed Idaho county thou
sands of years ago.
