The road culvert, ordered from Beal
& Co., arrived Saturday, and is piled on
the vacant lots back of the post office.
The only peculiar thing about this
stuff is that it cost the taxpayers Of
Clearwater county great deal more
than the same goods are costing up in
Latah county, but the freight may make
the difference. Up in Alaska a man
went to lawyer for some advice.
Then he asked the bill, and when the
lawyer told him, it knocked the breath
out Of him. "What makes legal ad-
vice come SO high up here in Alaskan"
asked the client. "It's the, freight"
said the lawyer. looking very sober.
And perhaps its the freight from
Moscow to Orofino that makes 10-inch
culvert costs the taxpayers of Clear
water county II cents foot more than
10-culvert cost the taxpayers of Latah
county. But come to think about it,
you must add the freight from Spokane
to Orofino to the II cents per foot and
then you have the price the people in
Clearwater county are paying in excess
of the price the people in Latah county
pay for steel road culvert. On 1S-inch
culvert the figures run 33 cents foot
and freight over the cost to Latah
county.
But keep this in mind. The Latah
county board is working for the peo.
pie, and the Clearwater county board
is working for a court house ring.
Latah county went out and interested
all the dealers in the country and had
Is bidders, while the Clearwater coun-
ty board gave the business to Beal &
Co., without competition. See the
difference?
Beal & Co., however, claim that they
are furnishing Clearwater county a
superior article. The .Latah county
authorities insist that the culvert they
bought this year is superior by actual
tests to Ingot iron culvert bought with
out competition from Beal & Co. by
Clearwater county. County Commits
sioner Woody OF Latah county said,
when asked about the culvert:
''Beal & Co. used to fool Latah coun-
ty, but there is nothing to their claim
that Ingot iron culvert is the only cul-
vert. The goods Latah county bought
this year is as good as any culvert on
the market, and the agent of Beal & Co.
had to admit that his goods were no
better than other makes on the mar.
ket."'

While some Of the 25,OOO acres is

that Governor Hawley, of Boise; F. l..
Moore, prominent Latah county at
torney, and others, who looked over
the lands, together with Ben Bush,
agent for the state, all agreed that as a
general proposition the land was unfit
for agricultural purposes, most of it be-
ing too steep, and much OF it worthless
for anything more than grazing or the
growing of timber. 1t was generally
admitted that the state, IN selling this
land, was driving a hard bargain, for
the owners Of the timber were COM
PEELED to pay not less than $40 an acre
for all this land. And they did,

He has dug out and cleared the land
