Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-09-11

The Clearwater Republican has the
satisfaction of knowing that to the
best of its ability it has been a friend
to the people of Clearwater county.
We have the satisfaction that comes
to every man who takes stand for
right and justice and fair dealing be-
tween public officials and the people.
In Clearwater county a most de-
plorable condition has existed. If
there has been change for the better
it is due entirely to the persistent and
determined stand taken by the Repub-
lican against a system that has sqeezed
blood from the body of this county.
If County Commissioners Zelenka
quit violating the law in the matter
of furnishing supplies and material to
the county it was not because of any
sudden moral awakening. When the
matter was called to his attention
some months ago Mr.. Zelenka is re-
ported to have said in substance:
''If the Clearwater Republican had
kept its mouth shut there would have
been no kick. That fellow Orcutt is
stirring up this trouble.
That it was violation of law, and
wrong, was not the thing that worried
this official. If he stopped it was be-
cause the public was aroused to a con-
dition that was not to be tolerated.
1t has not been a pleasant task,
and it is not pleasant now, to expose
these officials, and to carry on fight
that of necessity has aroused bitter
ness. Much rather would we devote
our time to other things. We would
much prefer to speak kindly of Mr..
Zelenka, but what was and is the duty
of paper that is honest with the
people-to wink at crime and wrong
and violation of law and the wasting
of public funds and by silence. give
our approval and endorsement?
We have and are doing the best we
know to bring about conditions in the
management of Clearwater county
that will result in the annual saving
of thousands of dollars to the people !;
we want the tax dollar to buy just as
much as the private dollar; we want
county funds to be so deposited as
to draw the maximum amount of in
terest for the county, instead of ma
nipulating them in the interest of John
P. Vollmer or Jim Blake. We want

A Novel Feature

Moscow Star Mirror: A novel en-
tertainment feature at the county fair
will be the sack sewing contest.
Such a contest has never before had a
place on the Latah county fair pro-
gram, and the greatest interest in it
will be shown. There will doubtless
be many entries. Three prizes will
be given to those who succeed in sew
ing first fifteen sacks. The prizes
are $40, SIS and $3.50 respectively. 1t
is expected the sewers will furnish
ilveyI entertainment for the specta-
tors.

TAMMANY SYSTEM IN CLEARWATER
COUNTY MUST BE OVERTHROWN

road culvert bought in the open, the
same as Latah county buys it, and we
want the county to stop paying ten
cents line for county printing when
it can get it for three cents line.
We want the county to stop paying
twelve and one-half cents per acre for
a timber cruise if it can get the
cruise for seven and one-half cents an
acre.
In short we are opposed to the sys
tenn that Mr.. Zelenka has persistently
pursued for two years.
1t may be said that he has reform
ed, and that he will do better. Well,
if it has been case of incompetency
it is time the people were taking their
business out of his hands; if it is eX-
travagance it is hopeless for the peo-
pie cannot afford to entrust business
of such magnitude to one who has
shown such utter disregard for the
public welfare.
But remember this: In New York
and other places where the officials
squandered the pubic funds and there
was graft, business was done under
the same system that has prevailed in
Clearwater county. Did not one con-
tractor testify that Tammany exacted
$75, 900 tribute in return for giving
him the contract, and did the con-
tractor not add the SIS, 900 to the price
of an honest bridge? And then WASH t
the price of that bridge higher by the
amount of Tammany graft? Tam
many let that contract without COM
petition. 1t was the system that en-
abled Tammany to graft the people.
We do know that Frank Zelenka has
voted for the Tammany system. We
know that he has repeatedly closed
the doors to competition. We do
know that he has followed the system
that grafters universally have follow
ed, and we do know this system has
cost the people of Clearwater county
thousands upon thousands of dollars
annually.
County Commissioner has ignored
the rights of the people while this
system has been carried on openly,
brazenly, persistently, and at the
eleventh hour comes out as reform
er, opposed to Blake gang rule, ano
wants the people to endorse his sys-
tenn.

Where is Hugh O'Donnell?

The newspaper fraternity generally,
as we'll as the readers of the Kooskia
Mountaineer, will regret the failure
of that bright little paper to appear
for the past several weeks. 1t is said
that the editor, Hugh O'Donnell, is
in Lewiston, and we are in favor of
sending a delegation down there to
find out the trouble. 1t is hard to
keep house without the Kooskia paper.
1t was always welcome visitor to
every editor in the country, and is
surely missed.

GOVERNMENT AID FOR
SNAKE RIVER FLOODS

the canyon for twenty miles to the
buttes. This survey is necessary to
enable the government engineers to
make proper estimates of the cost
and feasibility of the work.
Senator Brady called the attention
of the Department to the fact that
they are voting $53, 900, 900 this year
for the improvement of rivers and
harbors, and that 500, 900, 600 has
been spent on this work and, although
the Snake river in connection with the
Columbia, is the second largest river
in the Unitsi States, yet there has
been no money spent in order to keep
the Snake river within its proper
channel, while in one instance in
Tennessee S., 200, 900 has been spent
on the Tennessee river and $500, 900 is
being appropriated this year for riv-
er that has very little more traffic on
it than the Snake river, and where it
actually costs $50 per ton for the
freight moved on it. Yet the govern
ment refuses to spend few thousand
dollars to protect the homes OF the
people by keeping the Snake river in
its proper channel.
Senator Brady claims that if the
government is going to control that
river under its conservation policy it
ought at least to keep the water with
in it's proper channels.
In speaking of the matter Senator
Brady said: "The government will
either fix Snake river from the canyon
to the buttes as it should be fixed or
our eastern friends will have whole
lot of trouble in securing some of the
unwarranted appropriations they are
asking for in order to improve rivers
that do not deserve improvements one
half as much as the Snake river.
believe in the end this work will be
done and when it is done it will result
in the saving of thousands of dollars
to our citizens every year.

BiggesI Sugar Pine

The largest sugar pine ever logged
in California was brought down to
the West Side Lumber company at
Toulumme last month in seven logs,
SAYS the Elk River Sentinel. 1t was
9 feet 6 inches across the butt and
scaled $500 feet of lumbre. The
sugar pine is a sort of kind of western
yellow pine with something of the
grain and lightness of white pine and
splits almost as easily as western red
cedar.

Senator Brady has taken up with
the Interior Department the question
of controlling the waters of the Snake
river in the upper Snake river valley
from where the south fork comes out
of the canyon to the buttes 20 miles
below. The river flows on very fiat
grade for the first twenty miles out of
the canyon and in this twenty miles
are located the the headgates of thir-
ty-one canals watering an area of over
two hundred and fifteen thousand acres
of land.
Senator Brady impressed upon the
Department that it costs thousands OF
dollars each year for the farmers to
protect their homes, and their head
gates from the food waters; and then
costs thousands of dollars in the fall
to build temporary dams across the
several channels to secure water
enough to mature their crops, perman-
ent dams being almost impossible and
impracticable because of the shifting
conditions of the river channels. Be-
sides the people spending thousands
and thousands of dollars each year to
protect their canals and their homes,
the county has replaced one bridge five
times in the past twelve years, the
last bridge and grade costing $40, 900.
The Oregon Short Line railroad
has spent many thousands of dollars
to protect the bridge and grade. At
one time the company was compelled
to place two hundred car loads of rock
within distance of 400 feet in order
to protect it's property. Some farm
ers have had very heavy loss, some
losing their farm buildings and others
having portions of their land actually
cut away by the river in food time.
Senator Brady is urging the depart
ment to have survey made locating
a permanent channel of sufficient ca
pacity to carry the flood waters from

Uncle Sam Wants Better Children

The Federal Department of Labor
has established Children's bureau to
teach parents how to care for children
and has just issued a booklet on Par
entail Culture" which is for free dis
tribution. For some time Uncle Sam
has been paying considerable attention
to the improvement Of hogs, chickens
and livestock, as well as teaching us
how to raise pumpkins and potatoes,
and it is encouraging to find attention
now being turned towards improving
the human race.

Money in Beans

A report from the Juliaetta coun-
try says the long dry spell has cut
the bean yield in two, based on the
June prospect for bumper crop.
There are 800 acres in beans tribu-
tary to Juliaetta, that will make three
sacks of 14O pounds each worth 1t
least cents pound to the grower.
This crop will represent about $l35, 90
to the farmers of that locality.
Which beats raising wheat.

 A little burn such as Is caused when the child puts finger on the boiling ket- tie or the bars of the fire. should be plunged into bath of olive oil and kept there till the pain has passed off. Take it out dripping with oil. wrap it up in cotton wool. and cover 1t with bit of oiled silk to exclude the air. If you do this there will be almost no pain after the first few seconds.

 A wrenched ankle, of the kind that often follows reckless jumping, should be wrapped up In cold water bandage. The bandage should be changed as soon as It grows warm. and the child should be made to sit with his foot up for the rest of the day.
