prominent county officials. This
is indeed laughable to ourselves
and those connected with, us in
the establishment Of the Republi-
,,can1n this field. One day we
ARE Hunted with our poverty and
the next we learn we are the CO.
partner Of multi-millionaires.
Great sensation this, passing s.
rapidly from dire penury to great
affluence. We have only to read
the Tribune and its co-partner,
the Progress; and shut our eyes
and in'one moment feel the dire
distress Of want and the next en-
joy. sail the, pleasures Of great
wealth. But passing from these
vagaries Of a diseased brain, VIZ
arrive at the facts back Of the
silly ,vaporings Of the Tribune
Progress combine. To begin with
it,would be well to enquire the
relationship existing between
these two interests and to find out
for the benefit of the citizens Of
Clearwater county why Bingville
Buele Shaw and the former own
'fers" Of the Tribune love each
other so, and why Bineville prints
all the rotten stuff about "promi-
nent county officials" and the
handling Of the county's money
for the benefit Of banks and pri-
vite business. Are not the facts

these Mr.. Shaw, did not Mr., Mol
10y, the county assessor, hold the
county's money in q certain. bank
in this village and refuse to turn
the same over to the treasurer,
making the silly excuse that he
must have an order from the
board of county commissioners
before turning the money to the
treasurer, when the common rou-
tine practiced in all counties, is to
ftiiT-the money over to the treas
urer AS often as the assessor
wishes, the bond Of the treasurer
being sufficient to protect the
county at all times against loss
Mr.. Molioy's, excuse to Mr.. Hinck-
ley was that he did not consider
the Bank of Orofino a safe insti-
tuition into which to deposit coun-
ty funds. Could anything be
more ridiculous? Mr.. Hinckley,
as county treasurer is bonded by
by one of the strongest bond COM
panies in the United States, while
the Bank of Orofino has in its
directorate some of the strongest
men in finance in the Inland EN-
pire. Mr.. Shaw, whom did you
serve when YOU made your dirty
and cowardly destinations? There
is but one interest in Orofino
that could profit by your false
hoods, and this interest, you have
told several men in Orofino, tried
to put you out Of the Tribune
withbut,a cent because you were
a minority stakeholder and that
you threatened to sue for your
back wages and forced a compro-
mise, getting you 500 on your
$500 investment. Are these not
facts, Mr. Shaw? Do you not
know that you he'd when you
made the statement in your last
weeks issue, that an $50 check Of
the Clearwater Timber company
was used in paying the freight on
the Republican plant? If you dc

fino, from which you obtained
your information to print the
same IN the Tribune and see il
they will do it. Everybody in
Orofino knows who put those
untruths into your added pate
and If it were not such AN easy
matter to prove your fitness for
an occupancy in a certain state
institution located close by, you
and.your rag-would have, ere this,
