Dead Man Identified.

The body found near Ahsahka last
Friday morning was identified as that
of Paul Hines, confined in the asylum
from one of the northern counties, but
who made his escape April II. 1t is
surmised that the unfortunate man had
attempted to cross the North Fork,
probably by means Of a small raft, and
had been caught in one of the many
dangerous places and drowned. The
body was brought to Orofino and
buried.

Kick On Roads.

Peck, Idaho, Editor Republican: The
commissioners made a serious mistake
by appointing Carl Thompson general
road overseer. They would have been
in the swim had they appointed j. B.
Right, for he is right up to date. He
waits till the mud holes get so deep the
wagon mires, then he gets busy and
hires somebody to haul rock to fill
them. In about week more he bitches
onto the grader and grades the rocks
off. There are four slides that have
been in the road for year. We sup
pose this is Zelenka's GOOD ROADS.
Us fellows in Nez Perez county don 4
spend as much money as in Clearwater
county, but we have better roads just
the same.

Has The Leopard Changed Its Spotss

1t is an old saying, and true, that when
''thieves fall out honest men get their
due" and when political rings 90 to
smash the people usually learn lot
of valuable facts.
1t is reported that the Blake gang, or
some OF it, was recently kicked out of
control OF the democratic party, all
because the democrats of Clearwater
county know that every charge made
by the Republican is true, and shows
a condition so rotten that the people
will not stand for it. Therefore, like
drowning man, the gang paper, lv-
ing on county funds, announces that
the house of the unGodly has been
cleaned and purified. However some
doubt exists. Some doubt the power
OF the leopard to change it's spots.
Some believe it is fake fight, and
that it is only put up job in which
the Blakes will emerge, after the
election, still in the saddle. The
story is that |. II. Crow owed sl1OO in
notes, held by the Blakes, given in
payment for his interest in the Trib-
une, and the money was due May 10.
1t is said the Blakes figured that Grow
could not raise the money, and the
plan was to virtually steal the plant.
1t is said that Attorney Hodge, who
came up from Lewiston Saturday
evening, was to start legal action
Monday morning to oust Grow. But
somewhere somehow Mr.. Grow dug
up the cash. Remember that this
is the story that the Tribune crowd
peddled, and Blair Hoar, always close
to the Blakes, is reported to have
pretended to be greatly worried, de-
claring that the timber companies
now owned both papers.
But the last issue Of the Tribune, sup
posed to have undergone thorough
change Of heart and purification,
shows no indication of the alleged
regeneration. It comes out with an
endorsement Of the entire record Of
Blake gang rule and court house ring
rotteness during the past three and
half years, and pledges and dedi-
Gates itself to perpetuating, il it can,
the same old ring and the same old
gang and the same old system Of ex-
travagance and graft.
And this is the promised reform offered
the citizens Of Clearwater county,
and the voters are expected to purge
the court house, and clean up the
county, and eliminate graft, and the
Elk River scandal and lawlessness,
and printing graft, and all the rest Of
the extravaganza and waste and in
competency by following the Tribune
and voting the same crowd back into
power. This is what the Tribune
calls "R E F ORM."

MCGUIRE Is Sustained. OF Course.

One of the most bitter local fights is
now going on in the Cavendisn-Tea-
kean district over county roads. 1t is
charged by a goodly number of citi-
zens OF that district that the present
road supervisor, Earnest Mcclure, is
incompetent; that he has neglected to
perform his duty, and the first of the
year petition signed by 90 farmers of
the district was presented to the county
board, with the request that Mr.. Mo
Guire be relieved. But the board rd-
fused to act, and on Monday the matter
was again up before the board, and
very hot fight resulted. A dozen farm
ers, the leader democratic committee
man, appeared and gave testimony,
charging incompetency, neglect to per-
form work, and alleging that some
roads in the district had not been
worked at all for two years, and that
other sections of the highway were
practically impossible. 1t was alleged
that Mr.. Mcclure had been unfair; that
he had favored his home roads and
neglected the roads in other neighbor-
hoods
Appearing against Mr.. Mcclure were
E. A. Patterson, John Lind, Chas. Hail,
S. A. Sutton, VIM. Davis, Geo. Crabb,
Dan Lundy, j. w. Bishop, Ed, VIM.
and John Harlacher, and Philip Humid,
while James Mcclure, father OF the
supervisor, and Dave Daniels, were
on the side Of the road boss.
The farmers presented petition Of
fifty names asking for the removal Of
the supervisor, and much of the day
was consumed in taking testimony.
The following day the commissioners
investigated the case, spending the
day in the district. After looking over
some of the roads under discussion,
Commissioners Zelenka and Harrison
put it up to Commissioner Torgerson,
as representative Of that section of the
county, to say whether or not Mr..
Mcclure should be dismissed or
sustained, and Mr.. Torgerson voted to
keep Mcclure on the job. And that
settled 1t.
But not with these farmers. They
are highly indignant over the situation,
insisting that an incompetent man is
kept in office and imposed on the citi-
zens for political purposes. The farm.
ers insist that the wishes Of large
majority of the farmers Of the district
are ignored. That 1t is not political
fight Is evident, for the leader of the
opposition to Mcclure, also a demo-
cratic committeeman, is S. A. Sutton,
another democratic committeeman.
One of the farmers told the Repub-
lican that SO bad were some of the
roads that the mail carrier had pre-
tested.

N. p. Cutting Expenses.

The N. P. Ry. is continuing to reduce
operating expenses, having during tie
past year let out more than so tele-
graph operators on the division from

A River Tragedy.

From the companion Of Jack Sprague
who was IN Orofino few days ago, it
was learned that the old man came to
his death while the two men were at
tempting to cross the river on small
hand raft at the mouth of the Orc
Grand at point called Moscow bar.
The raft was rudely built, such as trap
pers and cruisers are accustomed to
construct from two or three small logs
bound together with willow withes.
The raft got into rough water, probably
struck whirlpool, and dipped out OF
sight. The companion jumped and
swan out, while Sprague stuck to the
raft and went down, nothing having
been seen since.

Senator Brady On Rural Credits.

Washington, May 20. (Special) 'There
is no reason why congress, at the pres
ent session, should not take up and
pass rural credits bill," declares SEN
ator James H. Brady of Idoho, who is
one Of the foremost advocates Of this
particular bit of legislation. 'The ac-
ton of the caucus of the democrats Of
the house of representatives in refusing
to grant this bill consideration this ses-
sion," continued the Senator, lis with
out justification, and is in violation of
the pledge given not only by the Presi-
dent but by democratic leaders in con-
gress. The rural credits section Of the
currency bill, recently enacted, was
eliminated by common consent when
the promise was made by democratic
leaders that separate rural credits
bill would be framed and passed at the
present session, and had it not been
for that assurance, supporters of the
rural credits legislation would never
have consented to the elimination OF
this feature from the Owen currency
bill.
"The farmers Of the country have
been assured that congress would pass
practical and feasible rural credits
bill; they have expected congress to
keep it's word. True, some of the
rural credits bills that have been be-
fore congress have not been what the
farmers wanted, but special commit
tees labored long and faithfully, and
made their report the day the demo-
cratic caucus was held. Even il the
bill evolved by these committees is not
in exactly the proper form, the senate
and house could amend the bills to
make them what they should be, and
amendments to improve them would be
made IL congress was given the oppor-
tunity to consider and vote upon the
bills and upon amendments.
81 have been devoting much study
to this subject, and have formulated
several amendments embodying my
ideas as to what rural credits bill
should prescribe. But unless there is
a change in program, no opportunity
will be afforded to present the amend.
ments and have them considered.
am strongly hopeful that some means
will be found, Notwithstanding the
house caucus, to bring a rural credits
bill up for consideration and passage
Congress can well afford to prolong its
session, if necessary, in order to pass &
rural credits bill, and hope the advo
Gates of rural credits legislation vii
find way, before adjournment, tt
pass such a bill, and send it to tht
president for approval. 1t is not suf
ficient to say that rural credits legisla
ton shall be laid aside because tht
president disapproves OF single sec
ton in that bill. If the presidents OBJ
lection is valid, the bill can be amend
ed to meet his objection. Certainl.
congress owes it to the country to taxi
up the rural credits legislation withou
further delay"

No Fourth In Orofino.

After canvasing the situation it was
decided not to celebrate in Orofino,
and to devote all the energy OF the COM
munity towards big county fair next
fall. 1t was suggested that the citizens
of Orofino celebrate in the neighboring
communities, and invite the people to
return the compliment by attending
the fair.

May Get New Sawmill.

A movement is on foot to get new
saw mill at Orofino for the Indians.
1t was proposed to move the Indian
mill from Winchester to Orofino but
the government officials have suggest
ed that the Indians petition Uncle Sam
for new mill, and that the wishes OF
the Indians will be granted. When
the government builds mill for the In
dians it furnishes competent help, and
the Indians have nothing to do but de-
liver their logs to the mill and take
their lumber out of the pile.

Clearwater County Was Represented.

Neoi WatcI NVuHty was NcpIcScutcO.
The following was clipped from the
Spokesman-Review Of Saturday, May s.:
Fractional differences among demo-
Gratis IN Idaho have been healed, and
the party is now in a position to pre-
sent a united front to the common en-
emy," said j. w. Blake of Orofino, a
prominent democrat at the Ridpath last
night. Mr.. Blake is enroute home
from Boise, where he attended recent
meeting Of the democratic state central
committee, and he asserts that the Sc
lection of Joseph T. Pence, former
mayor OF Boise, as state chairman was
practically unanimous.
'There is no doubt in my mind but
Mr.. Pence will have the united support
of the state committeeman and the rank
and file OF the organization, he said.
Some were under the impression
that j. w. Blake was republican, and
1t will be refreshing newsto know that
he is really the head of the democratic
party in Clearwater county. Mr.
Blake's interview will show that he
recognizes himself as the leading dem
ocrat Of the county, and one of the
prominent members in the state. Il
shows that all this talk about new
deal, and the decent democrats kicking
the Blakes out of the party is fake
the purpose of which is to stop the Re
publican from further exposing som,
of the rotten deals. If the democrat
have kicked Jim out why did they sent
him as their representative to the stat
convention?

Small Cherry Crop.

Indications are that the local cherry
crop will be very small, the recent
frost no doubt doing the damage. At
any rate the trees now show a very
small crop, and prices will probably be
accordingly high.

Weippe Made Good.


The Republican has nothing but the
best of reports from the Weippe field
meet, held last Saturday, and the citi-
zens Of Weippe are credited with OYER
looking nothing that would add to the
interest of the events, or to the pleas
ure and comfort of the visitors. The
little town was gay with flags and bunt-
ing, and everybody was out for a good
time, and made it their business to see
that all visitors were entertained
At noon sumptious free dinner was
served, the menu consisting of hot
coffee, baked beans, sandwiches, sal
ads, deviled eggs, cake and other sub
startial things in liberal quantities, and
after the program second free meal
was provided, this feature being under
the auspices of the Weippe Ladies
Club, who prepared and served the
meals, and it was all free.
The day was ideal, and crowd esti-
mated at 500, enjoyed the entertain
ment and the program. The entire
population of Weippe joined in a
united effort to show the people good
time, and genuine hospitality was
everywhere manifest. Weippe was
there with the goods.
A fine track was provided for the
races, and the sports were interesting.
In the evening declamitory contest,
won by Arthur Brown, and play by
the Weippe high school pupils, con-
cluded the program, all of which was
exceptionally good. Mrs. Nat Brown
drilled the young men and women, and
her work won many fine compliments.
Prof. Boitnoff of Weippe, and principal
Of the Weippe high school, and Prof.
Abrams Of the consolidated school, Of
Frazier, had the athletic program in
charge and the work was ably handled
