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 a former , Grangeville physician and is fav- orably well known in Cottonwcod having removed from the county seat to Coeur 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.

ROAD NEAR COMPLETION GRADING WILL BE _COM- PLETED IN THE NEAR FUTURE, The Idaho Daily Statesman of | Boise in its Sunday edition of | November 14 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 a connecting link be- tween Lewiston and _ Boise, which would enable travel by au- to from one city to the other The pre- sent trip by rail takes 26 hours and the traveler passes through Washington and Oregon in going from Lewiston to Boise, a dist- ance of 450 miles. When the new North and South highway is surfaced and worn down for a few months the eanyon 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 hau! through Washington and Oregon it is said. Many years ago the pioneer miners of central Idaho made a trail through the rugged interior following the Little Salmon from New Meadows down to Riggins, and the canyon of the Big Salm- on, and from there to Whitebird. From here the trail wound up the precipitous Whitebird hill te the open grain lands of Camas prairie. The Salfon river coun- try was rough and uninviting, peopled sparsely by cattle and sheepmen, who were satisfied to live far from civilization. As the years went on and north Ida- ho continued to be isolated from the southern portion of the statc the big project of opening up 2 road through this wild centra! region began to take shape. For several years sections of the long highway have Leen under con- struction and now comes the cul- [onstruction companies engaged on the projects. To Finish Link Soon The Whitebird - Grangeville link of the North and South highway is 22 miles long and will cost two hundred seventy-five thousand dollars. The eleva- tion at Whitebird is 1400 feet and at the summit of the 12-mile hill, ebove Whitehird, the eleva- | tion is 3400 feet, making a rise | of 2000 feet in the 12-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 hegan 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 Riggins (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 Idaho by way of Pendleton, Ore. Highway Begins at Weiser. The North and South highway proper begins at Weiser, where it connects with the Idaho Pac- ifie highway, which runs through Boise toward the east. From Weiser the highway goes north through Midvale, Cam- bridge, Council and New Mead- ows, the latter point being about half way between Boise and tewiston. The vork has been between Meadows and Grangeville. New way from Grangeville to Lewis- ton and from New Meadows to} Boise will be started when funds are availabde. said to be There will soon be an excellent all-year highway over the entire route connecting with an east) ind west trunk highway at Boise | and the Evergreen highway to the coast at Lewiston. From Lewiston north the route now follows the Inland Empire high- way to Spokane, but construc- | state highway engineers and the] in Latah county, between Gene- rounded up for the shooting| in that section the coming win-| mination of the labors of the} South highway is now going on construction , The} grading of the rest of the high-| This section is} in fair condition. | “ . 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 anew 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 a road have al- ready been made and many be- lieve it will not Le many year before the present “paper rail- road” becomes a reality. CAUGHT WILD DUCK. A wild duck with a broken wing was picked up in front of the City Market yesterday fore- noon by Frank Van Deventer. The bird was seen hobbling around in the snow just off the side walk by several people with- out realization that it was of the wild variety and the natural sup- position was entertained that it belonged to the meat market. However Mr. Van Deventer re- cognized the specie and picked it up and no doubt it has decorated his table e’re this.—Grangeville Globe. BUY*IMPERIAL. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Camp- bell on Thursday purchased the Imperial hotel buildine from the Imperial Hotel company, a cor- poration. Consideration was not made public, but it is understood the building was sold for prac- tically the cost of construction 1909, when the building was erected. Mr. and Mrs. Camp- bell have been operating the hotel for several years. Stock- holders in the hotel company are chiefly residents of Grangeville. The deal is declared to have been the lareest ever made in city property in Grangeville. The hotel is a 3-story brick structure, modern in every respect, and one of the leading hotels in northern Idaho. —Free Pri SCHOOL NOTES. (By Delbert Hale) We turn our eyes from the foot- ball lore, And dribble the ball on the old gym floor, Which none of us know anything about, But we're all very willing to find it out, The coach says for us to go fair- ly fast, And stay in the game as long as we last, Then all we need is lots of good backing, And in C. H. S. there'll be noth- ing lacking. The Cottonwood High School Basket Ball Team defeated the Winchester high school 33to 16, Friday, November 12th, in the first game on the home floor. The home team was full of fight from the minute the referee's whistle signalled for them to start until the time keeper’s whistle declared the end of the second half. The team work of the home boys proved to be very ood. The lineup for Cottonwod consisted of the _ following: Schroeder, center; Hendrickson, forward; H. Hanley, Tacke, guard; J. Hanley, guard; Homar, Miller, subs. The Cottonwood high school will play the Grangeville high school at Grangeville Friday, November 19th. The team will probably be accompanied by a large number of rooters. The English II class of Miss Lansing, is making a very in- teresting study of Irvings life of Goldsmith. The high school girls basket ball team is being organized by Miss Lansing and will soon be prepared for a game with an outside town.

Hugo of Mos- cow as speaker of the next low- er house of the Idaho legislature. Judge William W. Woods, aged 79, judge of the Shoshone district court since 1906, died last week after over a year’s ill- s. He was a veteran of the Civil war, enlisting as a private and rising to the rank of Lieut- enant-colonel.

The spuds were made up of a half carload of Net- ted Gems and the remainer of Idaho Rurals, and were purchas- ed by L. E. Newcomb of Me'’ba, Idaho. The extremely | cold weather, says a dispatch to the Lewiston Tribune from Nezperce, has prac tically destroyed the potato c in this section. The asa ready dug has been frost bitten in the sack and the remaining has been frozen in the ground This means a total loss to the growers in the section.
