There has been much talk il
some quarters about the policy
of the Republican in the matter of
much needed county bridges.
We desire to briefly state our po-
sition in this matter. We are
heartily in favor of the building
of all the bridges necessary to the
rapid development of our new
commonwealth. Our road system
is as yet in its infancy and any
act public or private looking to
its betterment should be encour-
aged by all good citizens ire
spective of party affiliations. We
are decidedly in favor Of a
bridge across the Clearwater here
at Orofino; also a bridge across
the North Fork at Ahsahka.
These bridges should be built as
soon as circumstances warrant
and the county is in condition
either by bonding or a direct tax
to put up one or both structures.
The manner of raising the neces-
sary revenue should be immateri-
al so long as the desired result is
accomplished. We wish to be
understood in this matter as at
tempts have been made in certain
quarters to prejudice the people
against the Republican. We also
wish the people to understand
that we favor all matters of pub
lie Improvement, not for political
purposes but for material benefits.
Let us keep politics and selfish
interests out of our policy of pub
lie Improvement and let the bene-
fits be commensurate with the
money expended, i. e. 'the great
est good to the greatest number
OF people"
Our annual school election
comes on the fifteenth and our
people should begin to consider
the matters that will come up for
consideration. The election of
two trustees will be among the
important matters to be consid-
cred. The last two members ap-
pointed on the board have been
very active in trying to develop
our school and get it's business
affairs into proper shape. They
have ascertained the true finan-
cial condition of the district and
are transacting the affairs of the
same along proper lines. keeping
record of their transaction in a
way that enables them, to know
where the district stands at any
time. Plans for new school bnild-
lngs have been formulated and
the present board should be re-
tanned in office until they have
,onsumated the plans upon which
they have been working. Fred
Lanphier is the hold-over member
,f the board and John X. Becker
md A. E. Hinckley are the men,
,ers who will retire unless elect
ID to fill the positions they now
lold. This paper endorses their
and hopes that its opin-
on will be ratified by the voters

SLEEPER TELLS OF RELEASE
SomnambuIist ForeteIIs Removal OF
Many Union Prisoners From
Prison at Cahaba.

Release of a large number OF pris-
oners from the cotton warehouse prls-
on at Cahaba, Ala, was foretold oy
sleeping northerner in the hearing OF
several of his fellow prisoners, &C
cording to L. Q. Jeffries, who received
his freedom two weeks before Lee

account of the weird happening Is CIV
en- here as he himself has written II;
after telling of earlier experiences at
Cahaba.
The Alabama river overlooked and
the water became of the average
depth of one foot In the prison. and In
one end it was waist deep. We stayed
in this water for eight days, because
all available boats were used IN
transporting Confederate troops to
reinforce Mobile.
Seven of us formed a mess. We
were known as the hymn-singfng mess
and few times we were aroused by
a guard from our sleep on the ground
in the corner where the water became
the deepest to sing to him. This we
did to the annoyance of others there
by awakened, who told US to shut up.
Harrison of our mess was in way
a somnambulist, because Of our sur
roundings, and he kept us awake al
most nightly by imagining ne COM
nanded a battery. He would square
himself around and at his command,
Fret would kick us In the back. We
had to sleep spoon fashion so that
one gray blanket might cover us all.

to mutter and then to talk. saying.
Pretty birdie! Got a letter-and for
me?' His hands moved as If receiv
ing and opening letter. Written in
blood! In six days you will be out
of bondage He sighed, turned over
and was soon asleep, and so were we.
Ten days afterward we were out
of that prison and on our way to Gods
country to Union lines. We were
taken by boats to the barracks at
Selma, from there by train and boats
to Jackson, Miss, and on foot through
Black River swamp in heavy rain
and heavy thunderstorm, wading deep
water for five miles across Black
river on pontoon bridge, then by
train to Camp Ffske, 16 miles from
Vicksburg, where were 5000 paroled
Union prisoners guarded by United
States colored troops.

a state encampment of the Grand

of the indigenous potato the Maglia, which so at
tracted the attention of Darwin when he made
his famous voyage in the Beagle. AS far
south as the Chonos Archipelago (about 45
degrees south) this plant grows wild near the
sea. The potatoes from it resemble English po-
tatoes, and have the same smell, but do not
stand cooking so we'll. Little effort seems to
have been made to develop the original tubers,
although they form good part of the food
Of the people, yet in this neghborhood the is
land of Chloe alone has about $4,000 acres un-
der cultivation, of the $4,000 acres devoted to
potatoes in all Chile. That the Europeans
found potatoes in Quito and Bogota need not
be denied, but there is no strong reason for
supposing that it was more than the same
plant already mentioned, transported thither
before they came.
Quite another story Is uncovered along the
coast of South America. There the potato is
considered European vegetable and Is cult
waited only by those whose experiences are
derived from the old world. No tradition con-
meets the few remaining natives with past in
which the potato f1ourshed, and in the minor
instances in which the wild potato has been
found, experiment shows that 1t is inedible and
perhaps even poisonous.
This is the case in the wild potato of Par
aguay. Such a plant has for years been
known to exist In the basin of the River
Parana. 1t grows on the plains, budding in
March and April, and ripening during the win
ter months of May to August The tubers are
about the size Of walnut and sometimes
larger, soft and watery, full of irritating so
lama (the active alkaloid of the potato), and
of poor taste. They are not eaten nor are
they cultivated; the so-called edible potato is
considered imported vegetable, foreign to
native experience and judgment, while the veg
etable that takes the place of potato In all ma
tive dietary is the "mandioca," which has been
prepared as a food from time immemorial by
the pre-Columbian inhabitants.
The food potato of commerce made its way
therefore, from its prehistoric home in the
Andes to North America and via Europe to the
eastern shores of South America
Great credit belongs also to Sir Francis
Drake, who learned of the potato about 1873,
either in Peru itself or in some nearby is
land. He took specimens back with him, stop
ping first in Virginia, where he helped to plant
them in 1856. In 1856 he arrived in England,
carrying potatoes among his treasures. and
thus the story arose that potatoes came from
North America Closely allied to this error
that other, which confused the South American
