DIES IN PORTLAND
ERNEST

Ernest j. Anderson, a brother of
Mrs. P. H. Blake and Mrs. C. C. Fuller,
died at Portland, Oregon, about Nov.
"a, 1918, from appendicitis. Anderson
was about 45 years of age and was
widely known in this locality, having
been assistant postmaster for long
time, prior to the appointment of James
A. Parker to the place. Shortly after
the arrival Of j. w. Blake in this COM
munity, some ten years ago, Anderson
told some of the citizens here that
Blake had been requested to leave his
former place Of residence in the state
of Washington, and from this trouble
was engendered between them. About
a year after j. w. Blake came here he
had trouble with Anderson and the
later was arrested on charge of as
sault on Blake, with the intent to COM

FARMERS
WANT THAT REPORT

Secretary I. r. Grow, of the Clear
water county fair, evidently has it sized
up about right-the farmers are lot of
suckers who just think they want re-
port as to where the money went. So
that settles it. You farmers and YOU
ladies who went to the trouble to oct
up exhibits, and who helped to make
the fair success, and who contributed
$5OO.M OF county taxes to pay premi-
ums and other legitimate expenses,
and dug up $500 or 5000 more to assist
in this matter. ought to be ashamed of
yourselves to bother your poor secre-
tary about report. What's the use,
anyhow? ''ln due course of time
you'll get it,"
But seriously, why should Mr.. Crow,
after all his buster and criticism about
the way others had managed the fair,
treat the demand for a report as a
piece Of impudence, and why should
he try to excuse his apparent incom-
potency by referring to an alleged
misconduct of another? The people
are just now interested in having a
complete report from the secretary of

their county fair, showing where all
that cash went, and whether it be John
Mix or I. r. Crow who is secretary, the
people want report. More than that,
if Mr.. Crow has any regard for the OBJ
legation he owes the people in this mat
ter he will make no further attempt to
cvade the issue, nor excuse himself on
the ground that two wrongs make
right. Mr.. Grow, you accepted the re-
sponsibility Of secretary for the peo-
pie; you were entrusted with the hand
ling Of more than a thousand dollars OF
public funds; you have had three
months to get your report in shape,
and you can't honorably find any ex-
cuse for further delay. "In due course
Of time" will not do.
For Mr.. Crows benefit let the Repub-
liean inform him that the demand for
a report was inspired by the COM
plants Of more than a dozen Of the
best farmers in Clearwater county, and
and that the article in the Republican,
two weeks ago expressed the senti-
ments Of practically every citizen in
the county. Wake up, Mr.. Grow,

IDEAL FOR IS.
ENGLISH WALNUTS

What is the use of talking about
Orofino being on the map when il is
not yet generally known that right
here, on land that is still cheap, can be
produced the finest OF English walnuts,
crop for which there is ample market
at rs cents pound. Conditions here
at Orofino are about the same as at
Juliaetta, in Latah county, where there
is now growing twenty year old Eng
lish walnut tree that in 1912 produced
SO worth OF nuts ct Is cents per pound.
Think OF it! One tree that would pay
the taxes every year on an average
farm.
Investigation shows that Orofino has
ideal soil and climate for the finest
grades Of these valuable nuts, and that
the English varieties do we'll here is
proven by the experience of those who
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-01-09

have tried this tree. There are soma
good trees on the John Wells farm, aud
even up on the ridge, three thousand
feet altitude, on the farm Of Alfred
White, are a number Of bearing wal
nuts.
Walnut trees will begin bearing at
the age Of five or six years when started
from nursury stock, and at about eight
when grown from seed. That condi1
tions are ideal here for this tree there
can be no doubt. Some few months
ago, when number OF Western Ore
gon walnut growers visited Orofino,
they said that the English walnut would
do as well here at Orofino as in any
country. And the proof of this may be
found in the trees already in bearing in
Clearwater county. Surely there is no
reason why Orofino should not wake
up and do something.

The following petition for new
court house is being circulated over
the county:
To the Honorable Board Of County
Commissioners, Clearwater County
Idaho.
PETITION.
Whereas, We the undersigned resi-
dents and voters of Clearwater County,
Idaho, believing that the use of Court
House and Jail for the county is ne
cessity; that the best interest OF the tax
payers requires the erection of such a
building; and that we deem it for the
public good to bond the County OF
Clearwater, Idaho, for the purpose of
providing funds therefor,
ThrefOre, We respectfully petition
that the Honorable Board OF County
Commissioners, Clearwater County,
call n special election for the purpose
OF voting on the question OF issuing ne
gotiablc scoupon bonds in the sum OF
Thirty Thousand ($30, ,O00. .O0) Dollars to
defray the expense Of the construction
and furnishing a court house and Jail.
The Republican is not against court
house, but this paper IS unalterably
opposed to bonding the county under
existing conditions. There is nothing
to warrant any tax payer in believing
that the court house would be handled
under any different system than has
disgraced this county, and burdened the
people since the county was created
and turned over to the Blake gang, and
until there is assurance that cour
house can be erected on the square
with honest, open bidding, for the bene
fit Of the people rather than as an rs
set for the Blakes, this paper is going
to use every effort within its power t.
defeat court house bonds.

proof that the position of the Republi
can is sound, and for the best interest
Of the taxpayers. Take the matter @
