Some Pertinent Facts About Clearwater Count

Clearwater county is one of the
youngest in the great state Of Idaho.
It was created by an act of the legis-
lature in 1911, from portion of Nez
Perez county. 1t comprises part Of
the famous Nez Perez prairie, all of
Weippe prairie, and the greater por-
ton of the Clearwater valley.
Clearwater county has an area of
1850, 900 acres, and is yet but sparse
ly settled, having a population of only
about 5000.
The lower lanes lying along the
Clearwater river have an elevation
Of from 300 to 1900 feet; the bench
lands adjac ent to the main river, the
North Fork river, the Lo Lo, Jim

tude from 1920 to 2i0O feet the ele-
walton on Weippe prairie is 5000; at
Pierce city $3.50; at Fraser, 3O8O
feet; Elk River $500; Tekean and
Cavendish about $500 feet. The
greater portion of the county is roll
ing, except along the breaks of the
rivers and streams, where it breaks
off into broad bench lands, compris-
ing the best corn-growing section in
the Northwest; in fact, this locality IS

has proven a profitable rotation crop,
and the corn land farmer is enabled
to make his land pay profit every
year. Corn land is therefore the
most desirable. and the homcseeker
should remember that Clearwater
county is corn county. In many
sections beans do well, and in all
parts of the county the carrot and
other root crops grow to perfection.
The silo is just beginning to interest
the farmer, and diversified farming is

A POINT TO CONSIDER

"A fOlNI III OONSlDEk
Clearwater county has advantages
that the prospective settler should not
overlook. Why select home in a
county where it is necessary to sum-
mer fallow? Why not seek section
where conditions are ideal for diver
sity of crops, making possible yield
every year? The combined advantages
of productive soils and splendid
climatic conditions make Clearwater
county particularly attractive for di-
versified farming and fruit growing.
We have referred to corn, crop that
is already finding favor with a large
numbre of the farmers, but there is
yet room for improvement. Corn
enables the farmer to diversity. 1t

UNKNOWN

Men and women born and reared in
this county have not the remotest idea
of the cyclone, other than what they
have read and been told by others
who have lived in the states where
they are terror to life and property.
Clearwater has neither extreme of heat
or cold. The summers are not too
warm and the nights are never OPP
pressively hot. The winters are
never too cold to make outdoor work
dangerous or disagreeable. The win
ters would be considered mild. The
snowfall varies with the altitude.
The valleys along the rivers have lit
tie snow, and it lies on the ground
but short time. The higher alti-
tudes, especially in the timbered
sections, it frequently falls to depth
of three or four feet, sometimes
more, and remains for three months
or more, making ideal sleighing.
However, as the timber is cleared off
and the land put under cultivation the
snowfall is lighter and the ground

STATE MINE CHIEF REPORTS.
Blames SO Per Cent of Accidents to
Carelessness of Miners.

Denver.-The first annual report of
the state inspector of coal mines
shows that although eleven more
mines were operated during 1913 than
during 1912, the total coal production
decreased 1,74O,O09 tons for the year.
The number of tons mined during
1913 were 9,26S, ,939, of which 1,92S,676
were Ignite, 72O,353 semi-bituminous,
6,5G7,256 bituminous. and 52,654 an
thracite. The total number of mines
operated was IT'S and the average
price at the mine ton was SO 2-3
cents.
Inspector James Dalrymple says in
his introduction: During the year
110 lives were lost in and about the
coal mines, 104 underground and six
on the surface. OF the underground
accidents, AZ per cent were due to
falls of rock and coal, and 45 per cent
of all fatal accidents are due to the
same causes. 1t is apparent that at
least one-half of them could have been
prevented by better discipline, stricter
supervision and the installation of
proper safeguards.
For the last three years there has
been steady increase in the number
of lives lost to each 1000 employed
and decrease in the number of tons
produced for each life lost in the coal
mines of our state, the same being
true throughout the United States.
The strained relations between en-
ployer and employe are responsible
for a great many accidents, because
such relations cause strikes, and
when many green men are shipped in
to take the places of the strikers.
many of the former depend almost
entirely on the officials to protect
them from danger"

This order was warmly welcomed by
Holton and by his second in command
of the grim. lead-colored Scorpion.
1T looks like business, doesn't it?"
observed Frost, with tentative intiec-
ton in his voice.
1T does, sure" chuckled Holton.
I'm glad we had those bafiie-plates
fixed in the boiler. | suppose we
might as well have the war-heads fixed
on the torpedoes, too. The orders say

will you. Frost?"
Aye. aye, sir" and Frost hurried
along the grimy, oily deck to the after
companionway.

tha dialogue between the two will be
forgiven by the fastidious when it is
pointed out that for month the Scor-
pion had been laying at Newport News

of loneliness was evidently to end in

was truly thankful.
In the preceding month the mighty
battle-ship Maine had wallowed down
into the Shiny ooze OF Havana Harbor,

partments. In her lay one of Holtons

With the situation thus there was
