Boosting Ahsahka.

Editor Republican: Let resi-
dent of Ahsahka remind you that
this section is still on the map.
Ahsahka is a favored locality.
Our little city is beautifully To-
Gated, and we challenge rival in
all the country. Ahsahka has an
ideal mill site, room for rail-
road grounds, and enough leve
bottom land to build fine city.
The completion of the new road
up the North Fork is of much in
terest to the people here, who be-
lieve in good roads. We hope to
someday have beautiful boule-
wards up and down both sides of
the river to Orofino, with bridges
instead of ferries.
Ahsahka is the natural outlet
for an immense territory, now
marketing and trading at Ken
drick owing to road conditions,
and the people hope to soon have
this changed. A new warehouse
has been erected on the railroad
right-of-way here

Put EN- In The BughOuse.

Some years ago the sheriff of Whit
man county, Wash, had occasion to
visit the state insane asylum at Stila-
COON. After attending to his business
the officer had an hour to wait for his
train, and he accepted an invitation to
look about the grounds. AS he strolled
among the trees and shrubbery he
noticed, some distance separated, two
men, each standing and watching the
other. Approaching one of the men
the sheriff was given the usual friendly
salutaton, and at once concluded that
he had met with another visitor who
was, like himself, looking over the
grounds. The two talked about the
weather, passed other casual remarks
about the institution, when the man
said to the sheriff:
"See that fellow over there?" point
ing to third party some distance
away
Yes" said the officer, "what about
him."
Hes crazy" said the first.
eyes" said the sheriff, at once inter-
ested, for he was hardly expecting
crazy man on the outside of the asylum.
"What is the matter with him?."
"Well,' said the first man to the
sheriff, 'that fellow thinks he is Jesus
Christ, but he amt. I'm Jesus Christ"
And the truth of the matter was that
the sheriff had run onto two of the
harmless patients, both under relig-
ious delusion, both insisting that they
were Christ, and each jealous Of the
of the other.
All of which reminds one OF the de-
fusion under which Pat Blake and the
court house ring is laboring, insisting
that the Blake gang alone is in favor OF
honest taxation, and that all the rest of
the people in Clearwater county are
imposters. When the Tribune talks
such rot il is just as crazy as that bug
over at Stilacoom.

Gentlemen
After trying a Little Idaho for four
years in all kinds Of grain and under
all kinds OF conditions il regards to
hills and level ground, standing and
down grain, will truly say the Idaho is
good enough for me. The saving OF
grain and cleaning Of same is first class
in every respect, and as to cost am
thoroughly convinced by experience
that harvesting with a Little Idaho is
the cheapest and most satisfactory way
l have found.
The upkeep Of the Little Idaho is
very small compared with other ma
chinery and believe with few extras
each year this same Little Idaho will
last me as long as need harvester.
| have cut on an average altogether
II acres per day, but this is not saying
what could be cut as am not out any
expense and take my own time.
After carefully looking over. the 1918
model of the Idaho l think that no
farmer will make mistake In buying
one of these Little Idaho's as believe
they are as near perfect as can be
made.
My advice to every farmer is to get
next to the cheapest way Of harvesting
by buying Little Idaho.
Anyone doubling this statement is at
liberty at any time to come to my place
and see for himself as have the goods
here to show.
Hoping this will be of benefit to some
one l remain,
Yours truly,

WILL NOT ATTEMPT
 TO FINANCE RIDDEN
Steel Will Be Painted to Protect It From Weather-Remains as
 It Is for Time

It is stated that the Roden estate, which Recently acquired by forfeiture the Roden hotel property at Fifth avenue and Eighteenth street, through the failure of payment on the bonds, will not under take to finance that structure at this time. The announcement was made that the steel would be painted for protection from weather. and that the frame would be allowed to remain as it is now for the present.
 The Roden hotel, which was announced by R. P. McDavid, l. C. Beatty and asso- ciates on the afternoon that the Chamber of Commerce received the Tutwiler hotel offer, was started long before the Tut wiler. The first pillar was placed ahead of the present operating hostelry and it was confidently believed that this city would have two hotels of the type which were so longed for here and which were so imperatively needed. However. diffi- culties arose and finally work was stopped on the Roden.
 The indications are that the Roden will be completed sometime in the future but not on the scale first outlined. The Har- vey Brothers, of Mobile lessees of the Roden hotel, have been released from their contract to operate the place

COAL MEN ARE BACK
 FROM MONTGOMERY
Confident Railroads Have Failed to Make Out Case
 Before Commission

Many prominent coal operators of this district have returned from Montgomery.< where they have been engaged 16 days in fighting the proposed increase on coal rates into Birmingham by the allied railroad interests. They were confident that the railroads have failed to make out case iustifying the increase and they are of the opinion that it will pot be granted by the commission. The operators returning said the commission was shown the in- Justice of the rates and that apparently they made very marked impression. The case will be decided during the next few days.
 The delegation which returned was conn posed of the committee from the Coal Operators association in charge of rates. which has fought bitterly against the lines charging an increased rate for coal into this city. The result has been de- velopments before the commission in ref erence to the railroads position that has greatly pleased the coal operators They believe the chances for an increase ex- treInely remote,
 The returning committee included Henry F. DeBardeleben James l.. Davidson W. Carson Adams Charles r.. DcBardeleben R. A. Chadwick, Judge Samuel D. Weak Icy, couiIsel for the operators. and others.

GULF STATES STEEL BOARD 10 MEET HERE
Directors Will Gather Few Days Before Iron and
 Steel Institute

The board of directors of the Guf States Steel company will meet in Birmingham during the latter part of this month, a few days before the opening of the Amer ioan Iron and Stee, institute It Is a custom for President James Bowron to go to New York every month for the meetings. However. as two of the diree- tors are members of the institute and as MT. Bowron desired to be here at the meeting, at which he will read a paper, 1t was decided to hold the meeting in this city.
 The directors will be guests at the din- ner to Judge Gary at the Press club on the evening of October 30, MT. Bowron having arranged yesterday for reserva- tons for his officials.
 The indications are that the steel and iron institute will be attended by large pumbers of members. The war, so far as ascertained, is having the effect of giving the officials time to get away from buai- ness. hence 1t is believed that the attend- ance will be almost the ma ximum mem- bership.
 The industrial companies of the district anticipating large attendance and critical examination of their properties, are working hard to get all rough edges smoothed out to the end that the visitors may be impressed with the progress that has been made lately by industrial con cerns of this community @
