A Valuable Road

Lewiston Tribune: Dennis Mckay,
the Myrtle merchant, was among the
visitors in the city yesterday. He re-
ports that the comment relative to the
proposed construction Of a wagon road
along the Clearwater from Arrow to
Myrtle has been very gratifying to
the people of the Myrtle and Clear
water districts who have long realized
the value of such a highway. This
three mile road, he explains, when
supplemented by the construction of
about three miles beyond Myrtle, will
give fine road on easy grades tap
ping the entire Claearw ater district.
Such a road, he urges, will be of much
value to Lewiston in making directly
tributary a big country which car
reach the market here over an cas-,
highway, whereas now the heav!
grades must be met.

Stock Show Postponed

The Lewiston Livestock show and
stock sale has been postponed from
Nov. 30-Dec. 5 to December 14-l9.
Keep this in mind. 1t was deemed
unsafe at this time to go ahead until
the extent and danger of the foot and
mouth disease is determined, and the
authorities have ample time to safe
guard the valuable horses and cattle
that are to be exhibited at Lewiston
Word from w. l.. Carlyle yesterday
was most reassuring. He said people
could exhibit stock without the least
fear of infection. There is no cause
for fear, and the show will be benefit
ted greatly by the delay of two weeks.
The most elaborate plans for big
and successful show are going ahead
at the Lewiston grounds. Clearwater
county farmers are urged to attend
the show and if possible buy few
head of blooded stock for the improve
ment of local herds. This big live
stock show is for the sole benefit of
the farmer. Attend and get some
good out of it.

The Words Debt.

This is an age of extravaganza.
According to figures compiled by the
bureau of foreign and domestic com
merce, United States department Of
commerce, the national debts Of the
world now aggregate $42, 900. 900, 900,
having increased 20 per cent in the
last decade and doubled in the last
forty years. This is not taking into
account, so far as we understand, the
debts incurred by the present war.
The interest and other annual charges
amounted to 81, 1872. 900, 600 in 1912.
The largest national debt is that of
France, S., 2S4, 900, 900; the next larg-
est, Russia, $4, 553, OOO, 600; the United
Kingdom, So, 486, 900, 600; Italy,

S., ,O28, ZOO, 900. The debt of the Ger

Road Will Benefit Orofino

Nothing will be of more material
value to Orofino than the opening up
of good road to the Pierce country.
There should be such road as win
enable heavy freight to move quickly
into the timber. and over which large
bodies of fire fighters may be rapidly
transported. Probably in no way
could the town of Orofino profit to a
greater extent than by compelling
business to go into the timber up Oro-
fino creek. 1t would give Orofino
thousands of dollars of business an
nually. 1t would benefit everybody
living here. 1t would not only help
business from trade coming through
timber fires and the forest service,
but it would help develop the country
which means permanent business.

Commercial Club Elects Secretary

At a meeting of the Commercial
club Saturday evening p. l.. Orcutt
was elected secretary to fill the va
cancy in that office. 1t was decided
to revive the club, which became
somewhat hors de combat during the
political campaign, the members be-
coming too interested in politics to
give any attention to club whose
business is the material upbuilding
of Orofino and Clearwater county.
The club has decided to revive inter-
est in the movement, and to increase
the membership. The club vii make
every effort to encourage the good
roads movement, and work along con-
servative lines for all things of inter
est to this section Of the state. The
cooperation of the business men of
Orofino is urged. The club has moth
ing to do with politics, and the worl,
contemplated ought to appeal to every
citizen of the community, and to the
farmers tributary to the town.
The Orofno club has no intention of
ignoring the good advice of men like
Mr.. Arney, who advised against elab-
crate and expensive literature usually
the first thing demanded by CONNER
cial club. The Orofino club is going
to run the business on conservative
lines. 1t is an organization whose
business will be to unite the citizens
and keep the people pulling together.
Are you willing to join your neighbol
on that basis?

who are suffering great anxiety from
the war is Ignatz Schultz, who is a
native of Russian Poland and whose
home is directly in the path of the
Russian army which made raid into
East Prussia to relieve the pressure
against the French and British. Mrs.

lage quarter of mile inside the Rus
sian frontier at point 45 miles west
of Kovno and in neighborhood from

comfortable cottage on Pine neal
Third and had written them to joir
him here and make their home in thi'
country when the war broke out
Since then he has heard absolutely
nothing from them, the mail servic'
of the region concerned having stop
ped, and Mr.. Schultz is in anxious ig
norance of the fate Of his family.

He Had 1t Coming

Forrest Roland, of Moscow, IT.
year-old school boy, as the result of
attempting to run the Irving school,
had to be sent to hospital for re-
pairs. The boy, one of number who
insisted on playing truant, refused to
take punishment from the superinten-
dent of the schools, and proceeded to
whip the teacher, with the result that
the lad was hit over the head with a
stick Of stove wood and his scalp laid
open for two and half inches. Now
if the parents of that boy want to ruin
him for life they want to sympathize
with him and give the teacher fits.
What the boy needs is another thresh.
ing at home, with the assurance Of
more if he needs it.

County Attorney Nisbet has filed
charges Of selling liquor ih violation

Fire Company Called Out

Dense smoke issuing from the base
ment of of the home of DR.. Britain
and wife Saturday afternoon brought
out the local fire department, and the
usual crowd. But the home was not
injured beyond some damage done to
the wall where the firemen cut through
to get at the supposed fire. The trou-
BILE seemed to have been caused by de-
fective work in building the base Of
the fireplace, where cracks were dis
covered, and through these the smoke
worked into the basement, which was
thought to be burning.

Thanksgiving was generally OBJ
served in Orofino. The supply of
Turkeys, geese, venison, and trim
mings was more than ample to meet
all local demands, and it was a poor
family indeed that did not enjoy a
feast.
The public schools announced va
cation till Monday, giving the teach
ers and out of town pupils short va
cation and an opportunity to visit
home.
Speaking of Thanksgiving reminds
us that there are many things this
community has to be thankful for.
There are special things for which
some Of our citizens have cause to
give thanks. We might mention a
few. Let us begin at home.
We are thankful we were saved the
voyage up salt creek at the recent
election. We never did like water
anyway. We are thankful they
didn't make those damage suits a
million dollars each. We would not
like to owe so much. We are thank
full for our enemies. They make us
do our best.
P. H. Blake is thankful he is still
on deck, looking out while his enem-
les are out looking in; that he can
warm his feet for four years under
Uncle Woodrow's coal stove, and that
he got the post Office in spite of Pc
titions, protests, objections, COM
plants, kicks and public protests.
l. R. Crow is thankful that Orofi-
no is at last on the map. Also that
there are others as sore as he is, be-
cause misery likes company. He is
further thankful that the report of 9
county fair secretary comes only once
a year.
County Auditor Joe Kaufman il
thankful the democrats didn't gel
skunked.
Blair Hoar is thankful the show
company pasted posters over that bul
letin board.

Easy II You Know How

Troy News: It's easy to get birds
without hunting for them, if you only
know how. Grandma Harland of
American ridge recently demonstrated
that it was an easy matter to get
grouse and not use weapon either.
She had gone out to feed the chickens
before they went to roost, and while
they were eating she noticed large
grouse among them. When the
chickens went to roost the grouse
went in too, and Mr.. ard Mrs. Har-
land enjoyed bird dinner the next
day. The grouse seemed as tame as
the chickens and when she went into
the hen house to get it, it showed nc
particular sign of fear.

Deer are Plentiful

The few inches of snow that fell
the past week made deer hunting
good, and many parties spent few
days in the woods with varying re-
suits. Most of the boys got deer,
several being killed on the sidehill
west of town. In all more than a
dozen deer have been killed between
Orofino and Gilbert during the past
month. Some hunters who went east,
far back into the mountains came
home empty-handed.

Good Bean Crop

Clifford Gazette: But they who
laugh last laugh best. Larkin p.
Cleveland has his 25-acre bean patch
threshed cleaned and weighed, 750
pounds to the acre which was 100
pounds to the acre more than he ex-
pected. Total weight 1S, $50 pounds.
The crop alone will bring him more
money than the average man earns in
a year and he did not give all his
time to beans by good deal.

Boosting Home Industry

Moscow has started movement to
raise in Latah county funds to pay

sent Immediately to the starving Bel
gians. This will keep the money at

Other places are following the same
plan, using their Belgium relief funds
to buy home products which are sent
instead of money to the unfortunate

Cost Of War to England.

David Lloyd George, chancellor of
the Exchequer in the House of Com
mons, recently estimated the cost of
the war to England for one year
would be $2, 25O, 900, 900, the largest
amount that England has ever spent
on a war, and more than twice what
was spent in the four years conflict in
South Africa.
To pay this enormous bill the gov
ernment has decided, he said, to raise
loan of 81, 750, 200, 600, which would
be issued at IS, bear interest at the
rate of 81 per cent and be redeemable
at par March l, 1928.

New County Board

The first meeting of the new county
board was held Tuesday in Orotino.
OF course it wasn't altogether formal.
They didn't allow bills or approve APP
pointments or divide any pie, but
Messrs. Coontz, Harlan and Choate
held their first meeting to talk over
county business; to plan for the COM
ing year, end to come to a working
agreement as to road business. 1t
was unanimously agreed that the first
thing was to make good, and that
public dollar must buy as much as
private dollar, and that candidates for
road overseers must be men capable of
delivering the goods. 1t was the sem
timent of the three men that the in
terests of the taxpayers is of first i'm
portance, and that road jobs are not
to be soft snaps for anyone. 1t was
the sense of the new commissioners
that politics should not qualify or
disqualify a citizen for appointment
as road overseer; that while the board
would make every effort to satisfy the
people of road district in the selec-
tion of road overseers, that the board
would use discretionary power to the
end that only competent men who
would work in sympathy with the
board be appointed. 1t was suggested
that candidates for these positions get
out and ascertain how they stand with
the people of their road districts to
the end that the people may have a
voice in the selection of road officials.
The Republican would suggest that
the people be very careful in the
matter of endorsements. For exam
pie, there is case Of man who
signed petition for certain man and
then went to the county commits
sioner and explained that he was op-
posed to the fellow because he knew
he was not fit for the position.
1t is not fair to the county commits
sioners to refuse to do your part, Mr.
Citizen. If you want clean county
government and good service have the
backbone to stand for it.
The new commissioners discussed
informally other matters of genera
interest, determined to meet the is
sues coming before the board openl.
and fairly, always with the view O
making county dollar buy just a
much as private dollar.
If the people of the county will
cooperate with the county officials thi
can be done and taxes materially re
duced.
/ The new commissioners propose t
let the people elect road supervisor
but will eliminte from competitio
unfit candidates. Where numbre G
desirable men are out for road bos
the board will put it up to the peopl
to determine who shall be appointed

In twenty years the average road dis

A DRY" Town Episode.

A prominent woman of Huntington
put one over" her husband recently
when wagon drove upto her door with
ten gallons of fine whisky. She told the
driver it couldn't be possible that the
whisky was for them, but he declared
it was and insisted on unloading it,
which he did, taking it to the cellar.
She went to the phone and called up
her husband, who is business man
of that place. and asked him if il was
not mistake, but he said no, that he
had ordered it when the city went dry
that they might have it for medicinal
purposes, camphor, etc.. etc. She very
promptly responded all right, and hang
ing up the receiver called up the drug
store and asked them to send up ten
pounds of camphor. When the package
reached her she proceeded to put one
pound into each gallon of this high
priced whisky, and no doubt her hus-
band will find that he has sufficient
camphor to last him life time.-Big
