OUR RESOURCES

We should not forget that there
is located here in Orofino one of the
finest cement deposits in the world !;
that there is clay bed adjoining,
ard that nature has kindly located the
material SO it may be handled by
gravity from the raw material to the
finished product loaded on the car.
We must not forget that water trans
ponation will be as far as Lewiston
in the near future, and that Orofino
will soon be on the main line of the
Northern Pacific Railway. That will
take care of cheap transportation.
Then remember that we are living
in a cement age. That the natural
increase in demand for cement in the
United States is now about one mil
lion barrels each month, or more than

Althoug h Clearwater county is one
of the largest counties in the state
of Idaho, it has no more population
than the town of Moscow, in Latah
county. There is room here for fifty
thousand people.
1t is estimated that the average
family is worth in business to tine
town where they trade in the neigh
borhood of $1,000 per year. Suppose
we cut it in two, and call it $500 per
year; what then? Is it worth while
to join hands and work to develop the
county. getting people to locate here?
Considering quality of soil Clear
water county land is the most reason
able in the world. Land is worth
about half what it is in more favor
ably situated counties. What we
need is to advertise. We need to let
the world know what we have. Then
the people will come.
One of these days Orofino will be
on the main line of the Northern Pa
cific railroad. We believe the Mis-
soula cutoff will be built within FIVE
years. Then what? Real estate in
Orofino will be worth while. The
time to buy it is now.
There is no reason why Orofino will
not make city of at least 5000 pop
with paved streets, cluster
lights and fine buildings.
There are thousands of acres of
cheap state lands in Clearwater
county to be had on long time and low
interest. What the county needs is

If man hires another to work for
him he discharges him as soon as he
is not satisfied, but if the people hire
a man to work in a public Office they
cannot discharge him till the end Of
two years. We are about convinced
that the people ought to have the
same right to discharge an undesir-
able county official as has private
citizen to fire hired man when his
services are not satisfactory.

It may sound alright to the fellow
who is doing the spouting, but it is a
scrious matter when any man stands
on the street and suggests that it is
light to murdsr another. More than
one man has been heard to suggest
that the editor of the Clearwater
Republican ought to be shot. One of
thsse men is IA lawyer. If correctly
quoted this man is disgrace to his
country, is subject to disbarment,
ard ought to be drummed out of town.
TIE interests of the people, even lib
erty itself, is guaranteed only through

saulted ard perhaps murdered when
they dare to expose corruption ard

The Republican made no effort last
week to mention local news and
among the items of interest overlooked
was the marriage of Denton Tucker
and Miss Mittie Molloy, two of Oro-
fino's most worthy young people.
The ceremony was performed by Elder
Robb of the Christian church, the
marriage taking place Sunday at the
brides home. Mrs. Tucker is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Molloy
and is most estimable young lady.
The groom is the son of Mrs. E. H.
Atherton and is young man of ex-
ceptionally fine habits. He is one of
the most Industrious boys of this COM
munity, and has the respect Of all
who know him. Mr.. and Mrs. Mol
10y are now at home on farm near
Orofino, recently purchased by the
groom.

The Clearwater Republican has nc

The Clearwater Republican has no
malice towards any of the county
officials. We are glad to give credit
where credit is due. We are ready to
congratulate P. H. Blake for his pro-
test to the county board this week
over exhorbitant printing bills. The
editor of the Republican was also be-
fore the county board and entered a
protest relative to violation of the
law covering county printing, but
we didn't have the nerve to go as far
as did Mr.. Blake, for we long ago
grew tired of protesting against the
printing graft in Clearwater county.
Mr.. Blake, if we are correctly in
formed, protested aginst the bills of
the Orofino Tribune and the Elk
River Sentinel for the printing of the
tickets. And is it any wonder that
somebody did protest? Do the
people have any idea OF she graft
that is being perpetrated in the guise
of printing? We do not know just
what the Sentinel did, but we did
investigate the Tribune bill, and COM
pared the work with the same as done
in Latah and other counties. The
Tribune set the ticket two columns
wide, when it would go in single
column, and instead of ten cents a
line, the Tribune got twenty cents 9
line. Or, to get down to brass tacls,
seventeen cents line more than the
county could have had the work from
the Clearwater Republican. We viii
give the people more about this mex
week. No-Wonder Mr.. Blake pro

We are onfy~ scrry~that the county
board did not give his protest q more

ing bills should have been CAREFUL,

There was reason why the Orofin'
Tribune printing bill was held up til
few days after the election. Tn,

Twas sorrowful crew that stood on
the deck
Of a battered old ship, its sails rag
ged and torn
And their sorrowful cry was waited
ashore
we'll never come back any more. -
Zelenka the pilot stood at the wheel,
Holsclaw handled the oar,
Harper and Sisk took up the refrain
we'll never come back any more. :"
Farewell to good old democrat pie, n
Throw a kiss of farewell to Blair
Hoar.
Before us the waste of Salt River lies
"And well never come back any
more"
The people gave us kick in the loop
And told US to get up and go,
But saddest of all is the after
thought,
we'll never come back any more. +"
On the booze-swept deck of the old
direlect
Huddled the motley crew.
Democrat signs and vaseline and the
memory of Blair Hoar
Narrowed their souls, as the song they
sang,
We'll never come back any more. :"

Every farmer in the county owes it
to himself to plant corn and get into
the livestock business. Meat will
never again be cheap. Wheat will
be. Put a silo on the farm as soon
as possible. Instead of a ton or two
of dry hay per acre make your land
produce from ten to fifty tons of en-
silage and get the benefit of cheap
feed. Your profits will be CORES
pondingly large.

The telephone girl sits still in her
chair and listens to voices from
everywhere. Hears all the gossip,
she hears all the news, she knows who
is happy and who has the blues; she
knows all our sorrows, she knows all
our joys, she knows every girl who is
chasing the boys; she knows all of
our troubles, she knows Of our strife,
she knows every man who is mean to
his wife; she knows every time we
are out with the boys; she hears the
excuses each employs; she knows
every woman who has dark past !;
she knows every man who's inclined
to be EAST; in fact, there's sec
ret meath each saucy curl Of that
quiet, demure looking telephone girl.
If the telephone girl would tell all
that she knows she would turn half
our friends into bitter foes; she
would SOW small wind that would
soon be gale, engulf us in trouble
and land us in Jail; she could let &c
story (Which gaining in force) would
cause half our wives to sue for di-
vorce; she could get all the churches
mixed up in fight and turn all oul
days into sorrowing nights; in fact,
she could keep the whole town in 9
stew if she'd tell tenth part Of the
things that she knew. Now doesn 4
it make your head whirl when yor
think what you owe the telephone

THE GOOSE NEVER FORGOT.
Kindness Shown a Gosling Gained
Man a Constant Friend.

One day lad saw young gosilng
struggling in the grasp of huge rat.
It made vigorous resistance, but by
the time the lad came to the rescue
it was so severely bitten that it must
have soon become its antagonist S
victim. The youth continued his care
over it until it recovered from its in
juries, dressing its wounds every day.
During his attendance on it friend
ship sprang up between them, and
the gosling might be seen limping af-
ter him everywhere. The boy de-
parted for school, and on his return
home at holiday time was joyfully
recognized by the goose, which show
ed it's JOY as plainly as dog, and at
tached itself to him as before.
He became man and the gosllng
a goose, but neither Of them outliv-
ed their regard for each other. The
grateful bird deserted her feathered
companions as soon as her friend Wis
tied his home, and followed him as
before, and when the young man was
seized with illness the poor bird be-
came restless and pining as though
she knew something was wrong. Guld-
ed by some wonderful instinct, she
made her way to his room, corner
of which she had occupied during the
time he had tended her wounds in
his boyhood, and when she heard his
voice she crept under the bed ard
established herself there.-H. A. Page

LITTLE RED SHOES"
Plump and Comely.
Legal Case; Plaintiff Described as

In the Louisiana supreme court
short while ago Justice Lind was the
organ of the court in the matter OF
Mrs. Dorothy Vincent, widow of Ed
ward Vincent, against the New Or
leans Railway and Light company, in
which a verdict of $500 in favor of
the plaintiff was set aside and the
suit dismissed at the plaintiffs cost.
The case was an ordinary one in
injured through the jarring and JOLT
ing of a street car as it was stopped.
The court holds that it was not shown
that there was any unusual jar or
jolt.
The case attracted some attention
which the plaintiff claims to have been
at the time of it's trial because, it
was asserted, pair of little red shoes.
worn by an attractive woman wit
ness for the plaintiff, had decided
effect on the outcome of the case in
the lower court. Needless to say, the
shoes were not in evidence in the su-
preme court. The counsel who tried
the. case for the railroad company, In
the brief filed by him, referred to
the little red shoe episode as follows:
In this case it is to be determined
whether plaintiffs injuries resulted
from the ordinary operation of the
car or from an unusual jolt amount
ing to negligence. For the court to
properly appreciate the evidence it
is necessary that various incidents
and circumstances of the trial be
known. The plaintiff is plump and
omely woman apparently thirty years
old (though she admits forty); she
was rather neatly attired and gave
her testimony with an engaging
smile. Her chief witness was young
woman connected with a dramatic
company then playing at the Green
wall theatre. She. was becomingly at
tired, and her bright smile, flashing
eyes and dark hair made comblna-
ton hard to resist. While testifying,
and all during the trial, she sat near
the jury-she wore smart pair OF
red shoes which were discreetly Wis
ible. Such an effect had they upon
one of the spectators that the spirit
of poetry was so stirred within him
that a rhymed letter of coincidence
reached US the day following the jul
rvs verdict. AS it expressed so well
our idea of the jury's method of rea-
soning, we take the liberty of copy
ing it:
To hell with the facts and to hell
with the law;
To hell with the counsel who gets
up to jaw;
To hell with the charge of the court!
Twas the views
That the jurymen got of those little
red shoes!
What cared they for facts? There're
as dry as can be;
What cared they for law? Lawyers
never agree.
What cared they for justice? Which
can never amuse-
All they observed were the little red
shoes.-New Orleans Times-Demo-
