The Garfield Enterprise, in the
course of political fight, said some
things that peeled off the hide and
was sued for libel and won. Here is
what the Palouse Republic has to say
about the case: The Republic con-
graduates Editor Buchanan of the
Garfield Enterprise on the very salts
factory outcome of the suit for dam
ages for alleged criminal libel, which
came up for for trial in the superior
court last week. But that is not the
only cause for congratulations. The
editor of the Enterprise is to be con-
graduated on the firm stand the COM
munity in which he is doing business
took in his behalf. All the leading
business men Of the town stood back
of the publisher of their newspaper in
his hour Of trouble, for which he ex-
presses his gratitude in the last issue
of his paper. 1t isn't an easy matter
these days for every rounder who may
have had his dignity jolted little
through the columns of newspaper,
to secure damages.

The eepre ssion in numbering is ma
tion-wiae. and Inland Empire lumber
manufacturers are probably doing as
we'll as those in any other part Of the
United States. The lumber cut for
the first nine months of 1914, as re-
ported BY the Western Pine Manufac-
tlrers Association, has reached 76l
million feet in nine months, the great
est production in the history of the
organization. Sales have been 700
z2ilsioa feet, so that the accumulated
surplus during the year has reached
cl million feet. Every new mill
tsat starts in operation adds to the
stock on hard, for unless kiln drying
Is adopted ii takes many months of
sir-dry.rg before the lumber is suffi-
GENTLY dry to make long haul freight
sAicments economically possible.

Over in Seattle the l. w. VS. have
been preaching and prcticing confisca-
ton Of property. This is fine doc
trine till applied to oneself. Few of
us would like to have lazy loafer
appropriate that which we, by our
labor, had accumulated. The |. W.
w. is not an honest laboring man.
He is not good citizen. Many of
them are not citizens at all, and have
no use for this country, its institu-
tions and it's flag. They know moth
ing of its traditions or it's history,
and never had patriotic impulse in
their lives. These fellows refuse to
work. They are deadbeats, buns,
thugs, thieves, and worthless agita-
tors who should not be tolerated.
Their place is on municipal rock
pile.

Because

country somewhere are about four
hundred millions of dollars in emer-
gency currency that is, if we have
the dope right. That would make
about four dollars for every man,
woman and child in the country. All
this is in addition to the money that
was alleged to be in circulation be-
fore the regional banks opened. Now
we have been looking forward to the
release of all this money, expecting
that we would, of course, get our four
dollars. But where is it? We said
nothing about this last week because
we wanted to give William McAdoo
and Paul Warburg chance to get on
their feet and attend to the distribu-
ton.
But ten or eleven days have gone
by and yet there is nothing doing.
This places us in an embarrassing po-
sition. We had learned that the Rock
Island Railway was to have been put
up for sale at auction and we expect
ed to be able to buy it. Now look at
the hole we are in! Any day they
may decide to put up the railroad and
here we are without our four dollars.
We have made up our mind to one
thing. If William McAdoo ever runs
for president, we will refuse to sup
port him and will leave him fiat on
his back.

THE CREED OF THE COUNTRY

Rural life is coming into its own
and country life is beginning to be
appreciated again after several de-
cades of disfavor and neglect. The
following creed, which is being adopt
ed as the slogan Of various boys and
girls clubs throughout the rural Sec
tions Of the United States, shows that
the thought life of the country is be-
ing directed into its natural channels
II believe that the country which
God made is more beautiful than the
city which man made; that life out
Of doors and in touch with the earth
is the natural life of man. l believe
that work is work wherever find it,
but that work with nature is more in
spring than work with the most intri-
cate machinery. l believe that the
dignity of labor depends not only upon
what you do, but on how you do it
that opportunity comes to a boy on
the farm as often as to the boy in the
city, and that life is larger ard freer
and happier on the farm than in the
town.

APPLY 1T IN OROFINO

Pocatello Tribune: A dapper,
sap-headed little fashion plate of a
masculinity was talking to a bunch of
girls in front of building one day.
While he was engaged in his pleasant
occupation he showed his perfect
equilibrium and Indifferent poise by
gouging few splinters from the win
dowsill. The proprietor happened to
be standing in the door and he en-
dured the gouging just as long as he
thought was right. Then drawing
his own knife and opening it, he cas-
ually strolled over to the side of the
diaper chappie, and taking hold Of the
corner of his we'll pressed coat, cut
about quarters worth off the corner
Of the garment. Ethelbert, OF
course, was deucedly irate, and said
SO. He was mad as he could get
away with, and would have chastised
the business man right there, but he
didn't possess the frame to make good
on the contract. The proprietor Of
the store turned little Ethelbert
round and pointed to the defaced win
dowsill, and said, 81 guess its
about an even break, isn't it? II
hadn't occurred that way to the sense
less chump, but he learned in {
hurry.

1t is predicted by we'll Informed
government officials that meat in
America will shortly become lux
uIy. Increased prices of meat is pre-
dicted. The Clearwater county far
mer, if wise, will at once get into
the game with hogs, product that
can be quickly produced. Cattle is
a little slower but should be very pro-
fitable. If meat is to keep going up,
then the farmer will feed his grain
unless the prices remain high enough
to induce him to sell, and high prices
for meat will mean high prices for
feed. 1t looks like the farmer was
the only one who had snap after all.
The people who do not produce, but
consume, must suffer as result of
this one-sided prosperity, but we who
live in agricultural communities will
probably not kick.

BROxON GETS HIS REWARD

Weiser Signal: c. o. Broxon, ed
itor of the Boise Capitol News. and
Progressive candidate for state treas
urer, has been appointed private Sec
rotary to Governor Alexander. This
is as it should be-, and now if the
governor-elect can find soft job for
jimmy Gipson, chairman of the Bull
Moose state committee. and some
other minor appointments of local
nature for Paul Davis, f. A. Pad
dock, C. w. Luck and R. E. Wilson,
he will show proper appreciation
for the aid given the Democratic
party by all of them. To the victors
belong the spoils, and the gentlemen
named did all they could to bring
about Democratic success and are en-
titled to some Of the plumber.
Already there are number of
local Progressives who are sticking
themselves with pins to see if they
are awake, and there will be more to
follow their example as soon as the
significance of the Broxon appoint
ment dawns upon them. keep the
republicans spit and we can win" was
the democratic slogan, and they found
willing workers in Broxon ct al. 1t
is not SO much the fact that Broxon
has been given job that is opening
the eyes Of former republicans in the
Progressive organization, but he is to
occupy the only really confidential
position the next governor has to give
out. Of course Broken is now and
always has been democrat. The
same thing is true of some others
nearer home who have worked over
time to keep the Progressive party
| alive.

High North Wind Renders All Efforts to Stay Flames Futile-Loss Amounts to $1OO,OOO, Well Insured --- Government Boat Peterson and Her Captain and Crew With Number of Soldiers From Ft VIII. Seward, Save the Ore Bunkers -- Fire Department, w. P. SI
 Y.R. Employees and Citizens of Skagway Fight Nobly in Effort to Subdue the Flames

Every effort was made to save the office building at the northern ap- proach to the dock, but it was use less, and that also was Lrined, al though the apprcac, to it was say ed.
 Seeing the almost utter hopeless ness of the fight, SuDt. Hahn tcrned his attention to the ore Eunkers, and taking row boat pro- ceeded to the south end of the dock where they are located. On reaching the vicinity of the bunk CTS it was a discouraging outlook that confronted him, as he found the dock already ablaze at the eX- treme southward end and in nnaiA,-... other places while the fire was spreading by leaps and bounds underneath the wharf to the nOrthward and in the warehouses, from which latter suarks, blazing chips and pieces of wood were being carried along by the wind with eyey pros pect that some of them would fall .u iuflammable material aud burst into blaze.
 After Mir. Hahn had finished his inspection and found that nothing could be done to save the bunkers unless outside help was procured, a cable message was sent to Major McAndrews, cOmmandant at Ft. ". II. Seward, asking f he would not send the government boat Pet ersOn to aid At 9:4S the boat, in charge of Captain Davis and crew, and with about Is of the soldier boys from the army post on board, hove in sight from around the point After pulling into the upper end Of the dock, taking on more men tools and lot of hose, the vessel proceeded to the bunkerS dock, along which a line of hose was strung so 'ream of water could be played uls ;he tipple track upon which the fire was burning.
 After working valiantly until 6;3C o'clock Sunday morning all danger to the main part Of tEe bunker plant was finally eliminated and the Peterson returned to it's home port with it's crew of firefighters, to | whom is due almost entirely the saving to the w. P. & Y. R. Co. of at least $1OO,OOO worth of property
The daily Alaskan., 1914-12-14

The losses, as near az Can be as certained at the present writing. are as follows, all the office records Of the W. P. & Y. R. having been saved:
 w. P. & r.. R.. Co.,, on dock, warehouses, rolling stock, etc, $100,O00, well insured.
 By shippers who had goods on the dock, $500.
 The customs office lost desk, chairs and other office furniture, hydrometers and other instruments for testing and gauging liquors, coal scales, books and records (al- though none of value are included), {, and a small quantity of merchan- disc held by the customs as un- claimed.
 When asked as to the probable time of the rebuilding of the wharf and warehouses, Supt. Hahn said he had as yet received no word from headquarters, but had no doubt work would be started as soon as the adjusters had gotten through with their appraisement of damages.
 In all the confusion and excite ment of the conflagratiou there were only two minor accidents. John Mclean, laborer Of the w. P. & Y. R. injured his ankle and Louis Schultz suffered a sprain in his right side from a fall while engaged in pulling up the on the north end of the dock They were both taken to the W. p. hospital and are getting aioug nicely today.
