COPPER MINES FOLKS

There was considerable excitement
out around Copper Mines Monday Of
his week when it was reported that
"a mad dog was at large in that vicin-
lty. A man passing the farm of Nose
Thomas with Il dog tied to the back
Of the wagon discovered the strange
actions of the dog and began to inves-
tiGate. The dog attacked the man and
his team but was soon beaten off with
a club. After striking the dog Il hard
blow and believing it to be dead the
man started to drive away but the
animal was only stunned and soon re-
covered enough to take to the woods
The fellow met man and told him
to look out for the dog. Arriving at
Copper Mines the man reported the
matter and John Howard with bunch
Of men armed with shot guns took
up the search for the dog. 1t was soon
found and killed late the same even
ing and we have not heard of any
damage being done.-Democrat- News

A GOAT" :.
OF ASSESSOR MOLLOY


that if there is any best timber in the
county tits held by the Potlatch COM
pany. That. company has the cream.
They were here first, and it is silly to
charge that they did not know what they
wanted. They got the cream, and by
no manner Of reasoning can the pres
ent assessment of s14 per acre be JUS
titled if other holdings are assessed at
higher figure. : There. is something
wrong" -: ..,,J
And what is it? Who is to blame?
Assessor Molloy?f The Republican
does not think so, and any attempt to
make "goat" out. Of Molloy will fail.
Why? Simply because the trouble lies
with the board of equalization, and the
board Of equalization was not Molloy.
Who, then, is the board of equalization
in Clearwater county2 The board of
county commissioners, and the taxpay-
ers will have to excuse. County Com
missioner Harrison,. for remember,
Frank Harrison, as is well known, has
nothing to say. He is the minority.
Zelenka and Torgerson are the board,
and Zelenka and Torgerson equal
lied the taxes and are responsible.
Commissioner Harrison was powerless
to prevent the outrage, and Assessor
Molloy must not be made the "goat. I"
He may have made lot of mis-
takes, and the Republican believes
he did,. but that is another story. We
are now referring to the very impor-
tant matter of timber assessment, the
all-important issue last campaign. 1t
was this issue upon which the Blake
candidates made their greatest appeal
for votes, for it was these fellows who
were to see that the timber companies
did not escape taxation. And after
the taxpayers, wanting only square
deal, voted this gang into power, think
OF the facts and hang your heads in
. shame.
Do you wonder, you taxpayers oi
; Clearwater county, that the Blake gang
!, fears exposure, and are ready to as
| sault the Republican editor if he dare.
to 90 on with the exposure? These Of
, ficials know that they have nothing tt
fear if their records are not rotten
, Then why all this rumpus, why all thes,
, threats, and why the cOwardly assault
r of last week?
The announcement that the record
e Of Latah county officials were to be in
: fvestigated Would cause no uneasines
n upon the part OF any Official In Latal
+ county. Why the fear in Clearwate
/, county?
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-01-23


As ugly as the facts appear, and as
pregnant with every earmark Of politi-
cal corruption as: it is possible for a
business transaction to appear, the
facts, repeatedly made by the Repub-
lican and yet. unanswered, are to be
again stated, and will repeatedly be
made III the future, to the effect that
Potlatch Lumber company holdings in
Clearwater county are assessed at only
$14 per acre, or the lowest of any held
by any of the numerous companies
owning timber in the county. With the
Potlatch at $14 per acre, the valuation
ranges upward to more than $22 for
the Rupp & Holland holdings, and over
$50 per acre for the Northern Pacific
holdings.
Let the reader forget where he reads
this. Keep only. the bare facts here
stated in mind, and then got to- the
county records and ascertaih whether
or not the Republican is telling the
truth. And, if any official tells you
anything different, ask .such official to
make his statement in writing, sign his
name to it, and bring it to the Repub-
|'lican, demanding that this paper pro-
duce the proof or shut up. If the Re-
publican cannot substantiate this charge
tit will publicly admit that it has mis-
represented facts.
The figures quoted by the Republi-
lscan were given US by County Commits
sioner Harrison, who is member of
the county equalization board, and if
Ehe does not know what he is. talking
about, the people ought to know it. y.
T. Butremember that in six weeks, moi
a man has dared to deny these glarine
statements, which, if they are true, are
nothing short Of startling. For, what
are the facts?
Let the Republican introduce tp it.
readers one of the most reliable resi-
dents OF, the county, man who for
fourteen years has lived in the upper
Clearwater, on: the north fork near Biz
Island, and who knows every acre o
country in the county, and is compe

fino Tuesday. Mr.. Wendell said, whel
asked about the taxation of timber'il

or so:
