Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-01-23

| The subject of the sermon for Sun
day morning at the Methodist Church
will be 1.-THE Love That Perishes, and
for the evening 'The Christ of Exper-
ience." Beginning next Sunday spec
ial meetings will be held each night for
couple Of weeks. Rev. Guy F. Phelps
of Dallas, Oregon, has been secured to
assist in the meetings and is expected
here by the 9th. The people Of the
entire community are urged to attend
these meetings as we hope in this way
to help to do something for the moral
uplift Of all.
If the people keep on at the rate they
have been sending in their dollars the
past two weeks, it will not be sixty
days before the Messrs. Zelenka and
Torgerson will have no fault to find
with the size of our "bona fide" circu-
lation. Six weeks ago we were print
ing ATS copies weekly, and the first of
January, thirty days later, as can be
shown by positive proof, the Republi-
can was circulating over the county
$50 strong per issue. In thirty days
more we will be compelled, If we meet
the demand, not less than 1000 per is
sue. This ought to make the gang sit
up and take notice, and it does.
Petitions are now out asking the
county board to submit the proposition
of buying the Odd Fellows building in
Orofino for court house. The build
ing is 47x1OO. two stories high, and is
large enough for all present needs Of
the county, including a Jail. $4,000
will buy the property, and it will re-
quire about $4,000 to remodel the build
ing and install the necessary vaults.
The gang will never permit this propo-
sition to 60 through. Watch out for a
joker.
Calling the Republican liar will not
do. The county records are the best
evidence. By the county records Blair
Hoar, county tax collector, did exactly
what the Republicans last issue said
he did. The Tribune is challenged to
produce the county records. to prove
that the Republican is not correct. And
II the records were available the gang
would have arrested the Republican
editor long ere this, and we would to-
day be facing charge Of criminal libel.
The Republican did state exactly what
the county records show. The Orofino
Tribune is deliberately peddling "hot
air."
E. H. Kilham, of the Lewiston Print
ing & Binding company, was in town
today. His firm has recently moved
into very fine quarters on the Main

question: Why not patronixe home in
