N. P. Lands Being Patented.

The Northern Pacific has just re-
ceived, says the Elk River Sentinel,
patents to $4,000 acres of its land grant
in Pend d'Oreile county, Wash, in the
Pend d'Oreille valley north of Newport.
The railroad company has been trying
for the past twelve years to get these
patents through the interior depart
ment. (And yet the Clearwater county
court house ring, headed by Pat Blake,
pose as the originators Of the idea OF
patenting N. P. scrip lands. The rail-
road company has been trying for years
to get its scrip land patented, starting
the movement some nine years before
Clearwater county was created. And
yet the Orofino Tribune, playing cheap
politics, and trying to make the people
believe the Blake gang discovered the
idea, and that the railroad company is
fighting the movement to patent scrip
lands to avoid paying taxes, takes al
the credit. It is about the rawest exhi
bition OF cheap politics we have ever
heard of. Pat Blake might just as wei
take credit as the discover of gravita'
ton, or the originator Of Boston bakeo
beans.)

Thompson Knows.

Carl Thompson, a prominent citizen
OF Ahsahka, according to information
given the Republican, is making il his
business to tell people that he posi-
lively knows that George Rubedew
is putting up the money that is
supporting the Orofino Republican.
That two travelling men told him so.
For fear Mr.. Thompson might overlook
a few OF the people, and that this in
formation may be quickly and general
ly circulated, and to save Mr.. Thomp-
son his valuable time so that he may
tend to his own business, il he has any,
the Republican makes the story public.
We would like to have Mr.. Thompson
get all the facts from his informers and
cinch the matter He is probably like
some of the rest Of the bunch-ready
to accept as fact any statement he may
hear, and then go out and tell ii for
fact AS matter of fact Mr.. Thomp-
son, il correctly quoted, is peddling
fertilizer. He is generally considered
Blake gang rounder, one of the fei-
lows who is always looking for a
chance to suck little milk from the
public teat, patriot for revenue only,
as evidenced by his recent haste, IL
the Republican is rightly informed, to
assist the progressives in putting up q
full county ticket. Mr.. Thompson, ac-
cording to our informer, says he knows
that Orcutt is timber tool because
"two travelling men told him So"
That appears to be good evidence for
Thompson, who is reported to be ped
ding it as fact. Two men have told
the Republican that Mr.. Thompson.
while posing as republican, supported
the Clearwater Tammany ring last
campaign, and was made High Lord
Chancellor road boss, job he held till
he was fired.
The Republican challenges any man
to produce one iota Of proof that will In
any way connect the Republican with
any timber company, corporation or
capitalist, directly or indirectly
No timber company has ever con-
tributed cent towards the purchase
of either the Republican plant, or the
building we now occupy. Any man
!, who says he knows this is not true
: statement, is just plain, unadulter-
ated liar.
If one may believe report Thompson
is hypocritical politician who will
probably pose as progressive republi-
e can and vote the democratic Blake grua
ticket when election time comes.
: One thing certain Mr.. Thompson can
not show where the Republican haa
ever been mistaken about his crowd
And that is what hurts Mr.. Thompsen

Weippe Have Fine Fourth.

Weippe is making great preparations
for the Fourth. Nat Brown, who was
in Orofino the first Of the week, says
that tents will be provided to accommo-
date the overflow after the citizens
have exhausted the available rooms in
their homes. Bedding will be the only
thing and visitors are asked to bring
blankets. Weippe will do the rest.
It is probable that the Orofino band
will furnish the music, and that a
picked nine Of old ball players from Or
ofino, including Harry Wheeler OF
Ahsahka, will play game with Weippe
in the afternoon. Weippe has fast
tam, and Orofino expects to interest
them.
There will be good athletic sports,
and real old fashioned Fourth guar
anteed. A number OF Orofino people
are planning to make it the occasion
for an outing, going up the third and
camping for two or three days in the
cool pines that surround the town.
The matter Of transportation is the
hardest problem, and II is suggested
that parties be organized, hiring four
horse teams and long racks, making tht
trip pleasant and economical.
Weippe promises to return the com
pliment when the county fair is put OF
next fall. Why not cooperate? Ther'
should be the best Of Of feeling between
the various sections Of the county.

country is rapidly swinging back into

Hobson prohibition resolution, ii way
can be found to avoid vote. Senator

to vote on similar resolution pending
before it, and is now endeavoring to
have the resolution reported to the SEN

Buying at Home.

Recently stranger dropped into
the Republican office and wanted to
paint sign. Why shouldn't he have
the job, since we wanted sign? Be-
cause he was a travelling painter, who
would carry whatever money he made
out of town, when, if local painter
did the work, it meant that the money
would remain in Orofino, and help to
support an Orofino citizen. And we
gave the job to the local man, E. D.
Willis, who did us just as good work as
an outside man could have done. And
what Of it? Well, it illustrates the
idea of trading at home; of spending
your money with home people, a2d il
pays whether you are buying job ol
painting. or buying merchandise. We
might illustrate with eggs. China egg:
by thousands Of dozens are being ship
ped into the United States, and sold il
competition with the eggs produced b,
American farmers. Now suppose th'
editor of the Republican could saw
five cents a dozen on foreign eggs
would it pay to patronize forelgl
farmers? Would it pay to send none.
out OF the country? Decidedly no, ant
it does not pay the American farme
to ignore this fact when it comes II
spending money. Let us remembe
that buying at home is sound prin
ciple, and whenever the people, an,
class, overlooks this fact the day will
come when the people will pay tn
