CLEARWATER TIMRER /
WILL BE SOLD.

The following from the Lewiston
Tribune will be of interest to the peo.
pie of this section:
The federal forest reserve authorities
in an official announcement published
in The Timberman Of Portland, Oregon,
copies Of which reached Lewiston YES.

soon offer for sale 6OO,OOO,OOO feet OF
timber in the Clearwater country. This
announcement records another step in
the plans for extensive milling opera.
tions in the Ford's creek and Weippe
sections of the Clearwater district. The
timber referred to is that .cruised dur
ing the past year after application had
been made by large syndicate for the
purchase of the timber, the condition OF
the sale to require the removal of So.
100000 feet of timber annually. This
syndicate also acquired property al
points along the Clearwater river, indi-
eating the plans provide for the use OF
this stream, while statement is made
the enterprise will also embrace the
building Of railroad up Ford's creek

To Editor Of Clearwater Republican:
Following your exposition of public
graft, and noting the disposition of the
"Voice of the gang" in dealing with
your statements, it seems they are not
able to dispute your accusations. By
violence they are acknowledging the
facts. Resorting entirely to personal
ridicule and dirty tactics, to brute force,
the predominating factor in gang rule,
is not surprising. 1t is still fresh in the
public mind how our present official
force conducted their mud singing
campaign for which they gained their
present positions. The only virtue they
claimed was efficiency. But is it ef-
ficiency, intelligence, ability, integrity
or physical combativeness? Since they
have demonstrated their pugalistic ac-
complishments, it might be better for
all Of their political opponents, in future
campaigns, to organize fistical debatcrs.

million feet Of timber in the Clear.
water country Of Idaho will shortly be
offered for sale by the forest service.
This stumpage forms most attractive
railroad logging proposition for al2O-year
operation. The timber will run 27 per
cent choice white pine, while the cedar
poles, numbering approximately 36Q-
OOO, offer an unusually good oppor-
tunity for this branch Of the lumber ID
dustry. A prospectus giving detaileh
information on timber estimates, ap-
proximate logging and manufacturing
costs, appraised stumpage prices and
other data will soon be ready and may
be obtained by addressing either Of the
following offices Of the forest service:
Washington, D. c.; Chicago, Illinois;
Missoula, Montana; Orofino, Idaho.
This will certainly be good news tp
the people here, for just as sure as the
timber is sold will railroad be built q
once up Ford's creek from nes3-
Orofino to Weippe and ON intb
the forest reserve. For years the ped
pie of Clearwater county have patiently
waited for the starting Of actual ,opers
tions in the timber districts tributary
to Orofino, and assurance that work \
actually to begin will be joyful news. 4

TOWN
IN ENTIRE STATE

The Republican wants the pleasure
OF saying to all the world: .Tt is pub
lished IN the cleanest town in Idaho.
Would, this, il true, be worth the effort
to Orofino? Suppose, when people
visit our little city, they should find
this to be true, and they would go out
over the country and tell their friends
about it. Would that be worth any
thing to Orofino? Well, it would be
worth enough to cause all the state and
a lot of people outside the state, to sit
up and take notice.
Some people think, when you talk OF
boosting town, of putting it on the
map, that you mean fine literature and
costly advertising booklets and all of
that. These things help, hut the things
that really count IN the building up Of a
town is the making of your city, big or
little, the most desirable place in all the
country, for either homes or business.
people come to Orofino to make
homes business will take care of itself
And the cleanest town in Idaho would
certainly make hit. It would, If true,
be worth thousands and thousands Of
dollars in business way. 1t would at
tract people, and more people would
mean more homes. More homes would
mean more work for carpenters and

FOREST OFFICIALS
MEET IN MISSOULA

Supervisor Chas. A. Fisher and
D D.puty Supervisor Roscoe G. Wilson
The Clearwater National Forest with
h a'quarters at O,o'ino will leave for
Mlssoula, Montana Oh February to at-
teld the annual meeting OF Forest
Supervisors OF District No. to be held
in that city February 2 to inclusive.
District No. 1of the Forest Service en-
braces all National Forests in Montana
and the Forests in Idaho lying north
of the Sslmon river, there being total
OF q NationakForests in the District.
1t is the policy OF the Forest Service
to ho'd these meetings annually for the
purpose OF discussing all important
features OF the work, comparing
working plans OF the several forests
and endeavoring to adopt better, more
improved and up to date methods OF
handling and protecting the vast wealth
Of natural resources entrusted to the
care OF the service.
One OF the very important features OF
the work handled each year at these
meetings is that Of better and more
practical forest fire protection, and
each OF the several supervisors are ex.
pected to have prepared definite fire
plan OF his forest giving in minute de.
tail the general patrol system, location
OF all important lookout points, trans.
portation facilities, accessibility Of each
OF the several fire districts of the for.
est, bases Of food supplies, tool and
food caches for use of fire fighting
crews within, throughout and near ad
jacent to the forest cooperation with
other Federal, State, County and any
and all other organizations and person.

The best proof of what county
produces is the actual experience of
the farmer. That kind of evidence is
absolute, positive, undeniable, and ad-
mits of no question. 1t cannot be
charged that it is "hot air" of some ir-
responsible, over-enthusiastic booster,
or "windy" editor.
The Republican believes in sticking
to the facts, and in telling only the
truth about Clearwater county. We be-
: lieve that an untruth, told to get peo-
pie to locate in country, always re-
suits in positive injure, and should
never be tolerated. And this is the
difference between booming and boost
ing. Booming is the untruthful ad-
vertising of country. Boosting is the
: truthful advertising of a country. That
is all the difference there is, and yet
/. booming, or, to be plain, lying about
country, never does any good; always
does harm; while boosting, or telling
the truth, always does good. The Re-
publican is. a booster. This paper hates
boomer Keep the distinction in mind.
In harmony with the above statement
: Of facts, let us give our readers the ex-
perience Of one Of the most reliable
farmers of the county, the experience
of John Buscher of Ahsahka, who has
made success of raising hogs. The
facts were not related with any inten-
ton Of having them published, but
were told to A. H. Thiele one day, and
the story was so good that it was told to
others, with the result that F. N. Shep-
herd, cashier of the Empire National
Bank of Lewiston, Nez Perce county,
hearing of it, wrote Mr.. Thiele, asking
him to get a statement from Mr. Buscher
so it could be used in advertising the
Clearwater country. Mr.. Busher's
story follows:
"About the first of November, 1912,
bought four sows at sale for $4,000
These sows were of good breed Of c.
|. C's. Improved Chester Whites), al
though not thoroughbreds. The sows
were bred to thoroughbred boar of
the same breed and each had seven
pigs. lost three of the pigs before
they were weaned. After the pigs were
weaned fattened the sows on about
thirty bushels OF corn and sold them
for $s3.20. Then I raised the young
ones On alfalfa and 2 little corn and
when they were about nine and one
half months old butchcrcd fourteen of
them which averaged, dressed, 1876
lbs each, for which | received 91-2 C
per pound, Or 92472S. About two
weeks later butchered six more which
averaged 2l2 lbs each, dressed, which
at 9 1-2 cper pound would have netted
me $l20.84, had not kept them for my

Revival meetings are being held each
night at the Methodist church under
the leadership OF Rev. Guy Phelps Of
Dallas, Oregon. The public are cord
tally invited to attend these meetings
and in fact we do not think that you can
afford to miss hearing Rev. Phelps. He
comes here with an earnest desire to
help our community and we ought to
show that We are as much interested in
it as he is by coming out to listen to his
suggestions.

iston and every other town or city, figs
uring on percentage basis. That iss
in proportion to its population Moscow
had and still has the record. And
what happened? It was Of enough im{
portance to attract general notice ali
over the state and the northwest, and
did Moscow lot Of good. II indicated
the character of people who live if
Moscow. It was the kind Of COM
munity fathers and mothers were look@
ing for to bring up their boys and girls.
Does this interest the business man?
Does it make any difference to the
merchants Of Orofino, or to the prop
erty owners here, whether or NOT peo4
pie move to Orofino to live? Well, in:
cold business, regardless Of sentiment,
every farmer located within trading
distance Of Orofino is worth in hard
cash, about u 900 year to the town
in business way. Suppose we put il.
at $500 per family, regardless Of where
they live. Any family will spend in !
year at least $500 in the town where
they trade. If SO, will it pay to get
people to locate in and around Orofino1
But about Sunday schools. The Re-
publican wants to take the Sunday
school record away from Moscow. We
want Orofino to have that honor, and
it will be the easiest thing on earth to
turn the trick. We want about $50
people to 20 to Sunday school. Per-
haps it will require few more. II II

get them. There are enough children,
If they are Ill in Sunday school, to give
Orofino this honor, and the resultent

girls do their part. Begin coming

ing about this. The proposition is worth
while. It will pay from cold business
standpoint. Are you willing to help
with your presence? Make the effort.

the forests from destruction by fire.
Each year the Forest Service ex-
rends large amounts OF money for con-
struction of roads, trails, telephone
lines and fire breaks in order that they
may be better able to successfully
handle the forest fire situation and all
these matters are taken up and thor
oughly discussed at their meetings.
1t is expected that Chief Forester

Washington office will be present at
this meeting and take up with the dis.

the sows for breeding purposes. For
the twenty which l butchered it took
about 225 bushels OF corn. Allowing
60c per bushel for the corn which fed
and the original investment of $4,000,
in one year made close to 10000 on
the four sows and still have five young
sows for breeding purposes.
'Last year raised about sixteen
acres of corn which went about thirty
bushels to the acre and had about five
acres of alfalfa. This year l expect to
plant more corn and also put in about
ten acres more of alfalfa"
After receiving the story Mr.. Shep-
herd wrote the following letter:
Lewiston, Idaho, Jan. l3, 1914.
Mr.. A. L. Thiele, Orofino, Idaho.
My dear Thiele: Many thanks for the
hog story. shall have tprinted in the
plate page matter which will be sent to
every paper IN the three Northwest
states. Shall see that you get copy.
1t will be mighty good publicity for Oro-
| fino. Best regards,
F. N. Shepherd
In addition to showing that hogs pay
in Clearwater county, the story shows
how, when Orofino business men really
have the best interests of the county
and the town at heart, they can do
things to help make the county little
better place in which to live, and a
good deal better place in which to in
vest your money. 1t shows how our
farmers, by giving their experiences,
can help in the right kind of boosting,
and the Republican would urge others
to follow the example of Mr.. Buscher.
Don't be bashfnl. Just stick to the
! facts.
This is the second time, to the knowl-
edge of the Republican, that Mr.. The!e
has availed himself of an opportunity
to do some very effective advertising
for Clearwater county, and his loyalty
and good sense will certainly be ap-
preciated by every right-minded citizen
OF the county. 1t shows how Orofino
business men can help make the county
grow, and thereby make employment
for the man who works, as well as
more business for the merchants. II
shows how We can encourage the de.
velopment of an industry that will
make farm lands more valuable, and
farming more profitable, and it is to
be hoped that others will avail them.

do some effective boosting. Whatever

OrOfino Will be Nutty

Hundreds of English walnut trees are
to be set out in and around Orofino this
spring. The school board is figuring
on planting one hundred, something
that ought to meet with general ap-
proval, In view of the fact that the
maturity of these trees would supply
the boys and girls with real fancy wal
nuts, it ought to be no trouble to show
the children why they should see that
the trees are cared for. Let us make
Orofino the "nuttiest" town in Idaho.

ELECTION
WASTE OF MONEY

relative to court house bonds, and the
general election officials can, while
counting the ballots, check up the votes
on bonds for court house. There is
no reason why the taxpayers should be
saddled with an unnecessary expense
OF special election.
Let it be remembered that the regu-
lar election is but a few months off,
and it will do no harm to permit the
matter OF bonds to rest till that time.

Why special election to determine
whether or not Clearwater county shall
bond for $4,000, and build new court
house? A special election means an
expense to the people of about $3.50.
There is no reason for all this haste.
Why not, if the people are to vote on
bonds, submit the proposition at the
next general election, when there
would be no additional cost? The peo-
pie can then express their sentiments

HELP PUT OROFINO
ON STATE MAP

There are many ways of giving q
town favorable publicity. One way is
to make your town the kind Of a place
that will appeal to the best class Of citi.
zens, as, for instance, Eugene, Oregon,
that jumped from five to twenty-five
thousand inhabitants in a few years
The people cleaned Eugene up, made
it the most beautiful place in the state,
physically and morally, with the fines,
schools on the coast, and then adver.
tised the facts. Orofino can be made
one OF the most beautiful spots in Idaho
1t should be great winter resort for
people who are looking for an idea
climate, mild and calm, where pure ali
and invigorating climate, make life
worth living.
And to put town on the map re-
quires advertising. To advertise you
must have something to talk about,
something that will interest people, and
when interested, will make them desire
the thing advertised. The Republican
proposes proposition that will cos,
nothing but an hour a week Of your
time, and that on Sunday morning
Here it is:

clothes. After breakfast take thu

matter which one. Just 90 to Sunday
school. And what has that to do will
boosting Orofino?
Who ever heard of such a thing
How can going to Sunday school pu
Orofino on the map? Is the town S,
bad that the mere fact of some of th'
people going to Sunday school woult
cause statewide sensation? Not a
all. Then why 60 to Sunday school?

work, ibuilt up the largest Sunda,

means hard work and close application
to business. But SO does running a
newspaper. So does the hotel bust
ness. So does the law and medicine,
and running store. Success in any
line means hard work and close ap-
plication TO business. But that is not
material here. We are dealing with
the question of resources. How to sue
ceed is another question. And who
will deny anything we have said about
the resources of the country? Where
have we overstated the facts?
Does vegetables and fruits and mel.
ons and grains and grass exhaust the
list OF resources upon which Orofino
must depend for future growth? Not by
lot. Were the country desert, So
far as soil is concerned, unable to pro.
duce crops, yet would there be ample,
when developed, to maintain city OF
several thousand people, just as Butte,
Montana, upon mineral resources alone
has grown to be a city of wealth, in
fluence and importance, where thous-
ands OF men find steady employment al
high wages.
Orofino is the gateway to the great.
est undeveloped forest in the United
States. Stretching away for more than
a hundred miles back to the Montana
line, hundreds OF millions of feet Of the
finest timber in the world is waiting
for the touch of industry. From the
summit Of the Rocky mountains to
Orofino the streams flow towards the
great Clearwater river, and logging op-
erations must flow with the streams.
Our mountains are full OF gold, iron
deposits are in abundance, limerick, by
test unsurpassed anywhere in the
world for high grade lime and cement,
exist at our very front door, enough to
maintain gigantic factories for a thous-
and years and more. Within rifle shot
of the Orofino post office is enough
raw material for cement to supply a
factory turning out 5000 barrels per
day, for 400 years, and yet not exhaust
the supply above the level Of the mill.
Such a factory, now under construction
will employ about 175 men every day
in the year, resource big enough to
maintain city bigger than Orofino to-
day. And in addition to this Orofino
will some day have her lime kiln going,
turning the mountain of raw material
into product that will bring back to
this community thousands upon thous-
ands Of dollars annually.
Orofino certainly has a chance to
make city, and the Republican has
full confidence in the future of this
town. Knockers may for a while hin.
der, but they cannot hold Orofino back
They may make work slow, but they
cannot stop the onward march of pro.
gress. Eventually the wheels of pros.
! perity and natural growth will roll ovel
and flatten them out, leaving not so
much as grease spot to mark the time
and placs of their departure.
All that Orofino needs is develop.
ment The natural resources are here
No county in the United States has
greater future than that of Clearwater
Idaho.
