Presto Change

Who hasn't heard Of the Irish section
Boss report to the superintendent when
car was off the track? After putting
it back Pat wired: "Off agin, on agin,
gone agin, "Flinagin."
But that was nothing to the presto
change at the court house Monday
morning. Assessor Malley resiged and
they appointed one Pat Blake, and for
q few seconds Pat was officially pro-
bate Judge and county assessor. Then
Pat resigned as Judge and the board
passed the plum to the ianitor Of the
Tribune office, gentleman known as
!. r. Grow. And then Deputy assessor
Gaffney lost his job, and ex-Assessor
Malley was made deputy assessor un-
der the Hon. Patrick Blake, esq. And
the people will some day find the
darkey in the wood pile. The people
have nothing to say whatever as to
who will serve them as county officials.
All the people are permitted to do is 10
keep the machine well creased and say
nothing.

the Republican is right then let them
take their medicine.
ASSESSING TIMBER

The voice of the gang, the Tribune,
wants the people to understand that
the assessment Of the Potlatch Lumber
company is all right, for, it says, $14 per
acre includes stump and waste lands;
that. the assessment Of the Potlatch
timber is entirely proper and fair. But
the facts are that the Tribune is either
ignorant, or Intentionally deceiving the
people, because the $14 per acre is the
assessed valuation of good timber only,
and does not include anything but good,
live, merchantable timber. Now don't
"chew the rag" No use abusing the
Republican. That will not settle it.
Go to the records and show the tax
payers from the records that the Re-
publican is mistaken. County Com
missioner Harrison is the authority
upon which the Republican makes this
assertion, and since Mr.. Harrison was
present and is member Of the equal
izing board, certainly knows as much
about this matter as the '.janitor" at
the Tribune office, who has really
been 50 busy making out his county
fair report that he could not be ex-
pected to look up records.
The Republican has repeated this
charge for month now and If it is
wrong it would seem that in justice to
themselves the Blake gang would at
least have denied it. In its explana-
ton last issue the Tribune admitted
that the charges Of the Republican are
correct, and we urge the. taxpayers OF
the county to keep this fact in mind.
Now look up the record and see if the
$14 assessment includes anything but
merchantable timber lands. The Re-
publican defies the Voice OF the gang
to show one acre of stump, burnt or
cut-over lands belonging to the Pot
latch company assessed at more than
$40 per acre.
Now look up the assessment of the
N. p. timber lands in Clearwater
county, actually worth not to exceed
fifty cents on the dollar with the Pot
latch holdings, and yet assessed at
more than $40 per acre. Why $14 per
acre for the Potlatch?

The people Of Clearwater county are
not opposed to new court house, but
defeated the proposition oncel because
Of lack Of faith in the business ability Of
the Blake gang, and il the matter is
again submitted to vote the taxpayers
Of Clearwater county will again defeat
bonds. A gang that has worked the
"dear people" SO often, will find that
the people have decided that they have
had enough, and that they can get
along without court house until there
is some assurance that the commission
ers will serve the people instead Of the
Rlakes. The bonds will never carry.
Not until there is change Of admins.

Unable to meet single charge so
far made by the Republican, the Blake
gang, ganglike, want to click" the edi-
tor, just as though violence would vim
dictate crook. Talk of fighting,
we can hire a broken-down pugalist at
$50 month who can lick the Orofino
gang, two at time, and never raise
sweat. If these fellows want to fight
will send for our man.

Yes. ITO the victors belong the
spoils." In other words when the
people elect men to public office, it is
perfectly proper and right and honest
for the county's hired men to steal all
they can from the people for whom
they are supposed to work. That is
what ito the victors. belong the
spoils," means. It sjust one way Of ex-
cusing graft,

The Republican is almost ready to
offer to shut up and quit if anybody can
find single piece Of important county
business, involving the expenditure Of
county funds, that has, under Blake
gang rule, been handled in a thorough,
business-like manner since the creation
of the county. Name 1t.
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-01-16

Will the new court house be built on
the same basis, and will the interests Of
the taxpayers be as ably looked after,
il the people vote bonds, as the Blake
gang looked after the peoples inter-
ests in buying typewriters and other
supplies?

President Garfield, once a canal boy,
rose to the office of President of the
United States. But, that is nothing.
Clearwater county has that skinned a
city block. How about jumping from
janitor at the Orofino Tribune office to
probate Judge Of Clearwater county.

On any sort Of a pretext the gang
will keep skinning the taxpayers Of
Clearwater county for the benefit Of
their paper. ''To the victors belong
the spoils."

Two Meet Death at Salisbury Aero

SALISBURY. England. March 1.-Two
more officers Of the British army flying
corps were killed here today. Capt. c. r.
W. Allen of the Welsh regiment and
Lieut.. J. z. G. Burroughs Of the Wilt
shire regiment. while flying over the mill
tary aerodrome on Salisbury plain. were
hurled to the ground from high att

plane. Capt Cyril r. Downer Of the
Northamptonshire infantry regiment was
killed yesterday by fall with his aero
plane while flying.
LONDON. March lin recording the
three fatalities to British army ayiators
within two days. the London newspapers
say they make a tragic sequel to the con-
expressed to the country last
week by Col! Seely. secretary Of war, on
the fact that no deaths of army aviators
had occurred within year. The secre-
tary attributed this record to the superior
safety of British aeroplanes and declared
that flying was now safer than voyages
IN submarines. The recent flying exploits
OF Winston Spencer Churchill. first lord Of
the, admiralty. are the subject Of much
criticism on the ground that a cabinet
minister has no right to risk his life in
foolha rr1y exploits.

possible effect upon the level of tho

the diversion of a greater amount Of
water from Lake Michigan into the

would encroach upon Canada's navl-
cation rights. guaranteed by a treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain. He urged that in many re-
spects the present petition of the
South Park commissioners of Chicago
and the Illinois Central railroad is
on the same basis as the previous APP
plication Of the sanitary district of
Chicago, which was disallowed
