VOTERS
ORGANIZE CLUB

Monday night republican club was
organized at Teakean. Two auto
loads of local republicans drove out
to the Fred Choate farm where the
meeting was held in the Choate hall.
County Chairman Becker, in short
talk, outlined the political situation,
and explained the objects of local or
ganization among republicans in every
precinct in the county. He said that
it was the purpose of the republican
organization to place the republican
party in the hands of the people
themselves, and that for this reason
the people of every precinct were be-
ing urged to participate in the politi-
cal affairs of this county.
The meeting was then turned over
to the citizens of the precinct and
a permanent organization perfected.
About twenty-five voters of the
precinct were present, and much
interest was manifest in the coming
election.
A few short talks and the meeting
adjourned, with an invitation to the

BIG FOREST FIRES
ARE NOW BURNING

called over the phone at headquarters
that the situation was desperate and
that he was unable to make definite
report as to the extent of the fires
then raging.
The big fires are nearing the gov
ernment reserve, and the government
is cooperating with the private hold
ers in an effort to check the flames.
In the Selway National forest un-
der Major Fem a situation no less
serious and discouraging is reported.
In Latah county, near Bovill, 300
men have been fighting to save the
finest white pine timber in that coun-
ty, and the loss up to Thursday had
reached 800, ZOO. The big mill at
Potlatch was shut down and the entire
crew of 45O men was rushed to the
timber to the east where they have
struggled to hold the flames in check.
There is an interesting story con-
nected with the modern system of fire
fighting, as compared to the methods
in vogue even no longer ago than. 1910.
Since then the forests of Idaho have
been divided into districts, and one of
the most prefect organizations is
maintained. Uncle Sam and private
holders join in the work of saving the
forests, with the best men that car
be found in charge of trained crews
who patrol the forests. Hundreds OF
miles Of trails have been made, tele-
phone lines have been strung, ano
vast quantities of food and freight
ing equipment carried by pack horses
back into the forests are kept stored
for emergency when fire breaks out
and hundreds of men are rushed into
the timber to check the flames thai
sometimes start.

LICENSED SALOON
A PUBLIC MENACE

My husband and l both scratched
our tickets to vote for some of them,
as did many others, no doubt, but
they cannot expect reelection if they
adopt such a measure. My husband
is man who likes his drink as we'll
as any man, (more to his shame), but
still he is up in arms ag gainst bring
ing the saloons into our midst, and
says the county has prospered ever
since it's formation without saloons,
and it can continue to thrive without
them.
1t is a certified fact that saloons do
not tend to uplift the mo raj and edu-
cational interests of any community,
nor do they help to build our high
schools and colleges. Take our vii
lage of Weippe as an example. They
have there nice high school organ
ization and it is boo n to the sur
rounding country, enabling them to
send their children thro ugh the high
school course much cheaper than it
would be to send them outside.
But who knows what might be the
result if a saloon is opened within
stones throw Of the high school
doors, and the many temptations put
before those young men On whom rests
so much of the future prosperity of
our country.
Let us rather work in unison to
eradicate this evil, rather than re-
ceive it into our midst.
Hoping this will not give offense
to our county commissioners, on whose
shoulders this great responsibility
rests, but will help them to realize
the general feeling of dread and hor-
ror with which it is met among the
people in general, will close by
once more asking eve Try mother to
wake up and do her part to keep our
county clean and dry.
Yours for Anti-License.

Forest fires that threaten to equal
those of 1910, when hundreds of mil
lions of feet of timber was destroyed,
over three hundred thousand acres Of
forests were burned and destroyed,
and more than eighty men lost their
lives, are now raging in Clearwater
county as the Republican. goes to
press. In the Scofeld holdings on
Washington and Scofield creeks few
miles east of Headquarters the fire
has already burned over 12,0 900 acres
of the very choicest of white pine
timber, and telephone communica-
tions from George Rubedew Thursday,
yesterday, were to the effect that
the fire was a desperate one and that
there was little hope of controlling
it. At that time the fire was six
miles long and burning furiously.
200 men were on the line fighting to
control it, and more are being rushed
in. Every train brings from fifty to
a hundred additional men, who get
expenses and 25 cents an hour, with
board free.
To add to the situation there was a
hard wind Monday evening, the wind
at times reaching high velocity,
and yesterday an electrical storm set
scores of fires throughout the forests.
c. A Fisher, government forester
for the Clearwater reserve, said yes
terday that he had fires everywhere
that had started within a few hours.
Nothing but heavy rain can avert
a fearful loss.
A big fire was reported in the Elk
mountain district east of the big fire
on Washington creek, and crew OF
fighters was rushed there last night.

We said when we came here that
we proposed to put Orofno on the
map, and only this week the N. P.
rariload company sent its immigra-
tion agent to Orofino for the specific
purpose of doing this very thing.
Then look what we have done in
the matter of good roads! Everybody

more monev spent on good rosd~ than

but we have remained silent and let
Zelenka get most of the credit. Frank

he is still running for Office. If we
have anything else that will help
Frank out he is welcome to it. We
haven't time to begin to enumerate
all we have done, but we have men,
toned enough to convince any un-
prejudiced mind that we have been a
bowling success. We have said moth
ing about the choice collection of
Blake gang skins we have tackled to
our woodshed door, nor the political
scalps that dangle at our belt; we
have not even mentioned that we
have been arrested twice and sued for
$50, 600 damages I'd the regulations of
the Blakes. When we consider the
facts in this case it is really our
most noteworthy effort, for to do
; one-twentieth of a million dollars OF
damage to men of hisrepute is work
) worthy of no ordinary man. 1t fills
, US with pride, and swells our head.

crowd to take time to meet the visit
ing candidates. At this time Mr..
and Mrs. Choate took charge of the
situation and in a few minutes the
table was spread with good things to
satisfy the inner man, and the Oro-
fino delegation enjoyed a feast of
cake, ice cream and minced chicken
sandwiches, to which full justice was
speedily rendered. 1t was agreed
that if Fred Choate was as good at
unning for Office as his estimable
wife is at cooking he would get there
with both feet in trot.
We mentioned that the meeting
was held in a hall at the Choate

fore Mr.. Choate was induced to rur

pie of the neighborhood a meeting

The meeting of the Commercial
club in the high school building
Wednesday evening was we'll attend
ed by citizens interested in the fu-
ture of the town. Chas. Arney, i'm
migration agent for the Northern Pa
cific railroad company, was present
and gave some interesting facts and
suggestions as to how the people of
the community could assist in send
ing out information which would help
interest people in this part of the
country. He suggested that the
newspapers of a community are the
most powerful factors in advertising
a community; first, because people
are inclined to believe what they
read in local paper, unless they
know from their own observations
that the article is not true. second,
the truly live and wide awake editor
will acquaint himself with the condi-
tions in his town and the surrounding
country and will give some facts each
week as to what the people are doing
in commercial way.
He suggested that the commercial
club see that copies Of the local pa
pers are sent out to all parts of the
east, and thus interest people in this
community.
Another suggestion was that the
commercial club edit and publish a
small pamphlet, giving information
concerning the community, that could
be slipped into an envelope, and
furnish these to people who would
use them when writing to friends and
thus send out definite facts concern
ing this immediate community.
Mr.. Ayney showed that the object
of an immigration agent was to
place the immigrant in that section
of the country where he could get
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-08-07

what he wanted in the way Of agri-
cultural advantages. This would as
sure satisfied citizen and a good
booster for that community. The man
interested in stock raising does not
want high priced fruit land, but
range land, and likewise the fruit
raiser wants location where the
climatic conditions and the soil are
suited to his needs.
Mr.. Arney's address was very inter-
esting and the people of the commun-
ity should profit by it. At the close
of his address DR.. Givens made a
motion that the commercial club ex-
tend vote of thanks through Mr.. Ar
ney to the Northern Pacific railroad
company management for the best
and most accommodating agent in the
state, and the best conductor in the
United States. The motion was car
ried unanimously.
The question of placing Orofino on
the map was forcibly presented at
this time for Mrs. Britain informed
Mr.. Arney that she had found out by
experience that upon the most impor-
tant map of the Northern Pacific rail
road company the town of Orofino did
not appear. Mr.. Arney was greatly
surprised to learn this and solemnly
promised that he would take the mat
ter up at once and do all he could tc
see that Orofino is placed on the map.
Mr.. Alteneder gave some interest
ing facts concerning the variety and
quantity of fruits and nuts which car
be raised in Orofino, and at the close
presented the audience with basket
of fine tomatoes. At the same time
T. j. LaForest produced basket OF
lucious apples, both of which were
greatly appreciated by the people
present.

We have been running the Repubi
can only eight months, and look at
the progress that has been made in
this community! There was not
Jail in the county when we moved to
Orofino; Orofino now has one of the
best in the state. 1t was completed
the week we landed. Eight months
ago there was not an automobile in
Orofino; today there are half doz-
en-, and half the people are crazy to
acquire the habit of buying gasoline
and mortgaging their homes for spark
plugs, differentials and rubber tires.
When we came into Clearwater coun-
ty eight months ago there were three
lawyers; today Orofino boasts of five
lawyers, and through our efforts we
have created enough business for
twice that number, and the legal
fraternity at Lewiston and Moscow
have felt the stimulus Of trade
brought on through our efforts. Eight
months ago, when we :blew IN tc
Orofino, the state insane asylum at
this place had only 25O inmates
today it boasts of over three hundred,
and if business keeps up the next leg
islature will have to double the ca
pacity of the plant. In eight months
we have made more enemies, and woI
more friends than any two men in tn
county ever hope to have, and tn
work has only started.
We have doubled the subscription
list of the Republican, and made
the best advertising medium in tn
county; we have made the pape
