A Wonderful Machine.

Mr.. and Mrs. John Mix, who are liv-
ing in Moscow this summer, spent the
first of the week in Orofino. Mr.. Mix
has been travelling for the Idaho Ma
tlonal Harvester, of Moscow, and says
the entire 1914 output of the factory is
sold. The company is putting out 100
machines this season, an increase Of 100
per cent over 1918, and have demand
far beyond the capacity Of the Moscow
plant to supply. The reason for this is
that the Idaho harvester threshes
wheat, oats and barley, from the field
to sack, at cost 10 the farmer Of less
than 81 an acre, whereas the average
cost today, with binders and threshers,
runs from - to $6 an acre. The Idaho
does the whole thing at one turn, and
requires only two men, or man and
boy to operate it. Eight horses handle
the outfit, and from twelve to twenty
acres day can be put in the sack.
There are no big crews of harvest
hands, and no duplication of work for
which the farmer pays. There are no
extra horses to eat up large amount
of the farmers crop, as with the old
methods. And besides all this
the farmer with an Idaho harve /.
ter is independent. He does not
wait on anybody. He harvests his
crops when they are ready.

Our New Machine.

Word was received this week from
the Unitype Company that typesetting
machine would be installed in the Re-
publican office in the near future, and
is probably well on the way to Orofino.
The time has come when no publisher
can afford to set type by hand, slow
and expensive business at best, and es-
pecially under such handicap as the
Clearwater Republican is carrying.
Denied any county business. fought on
every side by the gang, boycotted by
business men who are under the thumb
of the gang, it has been, and is, an up
hill fight made possible only because
some of the people have helped. Sew
eral hundred farmers have paid cash,
dollar or two each on subscription,
and others have contributed to month
IL fund to make it possible for US to
carry OIL the fight against gang rule and
misgovernment. And because Jim
Blake, entrenched in power, with un-
limited means, an army Of tools, dupes
and roughneck to do his bidding, could
not starve this paper to death, the cry
was raised that the Republican was be-
ing backed by timber companies who
were fighting honest officials like Pat
Blake and Blair Hoar with the evil de-
sign of escaping honest taxation.
"And," said a prominent democrat of
this county, farmer, ''the timber dope
fooled me until l investigated and dis
covered there was nothing to it."
The Republican, because OF the stu
alton, has found itself forced by neces-
sity to reduce cost Of operation to the
minimum or give up the fight, and we
bought machine to set type.
1t requires only $3.50 to meet the first
payment which Rubedew has so far
neglected to dig up, and we have had
to arrange to borrow. We have more
than enough due on subscription, and
will make an effort to get those who
can to help us now. II you can spare 9
dollar will you send it to the Republican
at once? II your neighbor does no,
take the paper get him to do so this
week and help the Republican.

and salves and more than one citizen
Of the town is displaying real blisters.
Dan Delaney had three teams on the
job all day. That was the spirit in
which the people entered. Every
body did their best.
Ellis Small hit the nail on the head.
'I'll put in day month on the
roads," he said, land think we should
have another good roads day in the
near future"
Harry Walrath, while nursing his
blistered hands, said: "We are going
to take day and work the road from
the mouth Of Fords creek up the hill
on the Weippe road before the Fourth.
We want the Weippe and Fraser farm
ers to meet us half way, and fix that
road. 1t is full of rocks"
The N. p company is now at work
fixing the street along the spur from
the depot, and the good roads gang
proposes to fix the street past the FL
deity State Bank north to j. w.
Blake's residence, and to see that the
road from the town to the depot is
graveled SO it may be travelled all the
year. Remember the mud last winter
and get into the game.
Let US join the movement to fix oul
streets and clean up the town before
the county fair. Let us cut down the
weeds, clean up the town and put on 9
prosperous appearance. It will pay

come that County Commissioner Zelen-
ka can SO suddenly bob up in the anti
Blake reform movement? Yet there
he is, according to report, over the
traces to reform condition he helped
impose on the taxpayers of Clearwater
county.
There can be no mistaking the pur-
pose OF the people, for democrats and
republicans, socialists and independents
are of one mind-to clean out the gang.
The people are disgusted, and the ac-
ton of the democratic central committee
in turning the Blake gang down Tues
day is the proof
Blake gang rule in Clearwater county
is doomed. The rank and file OF the
party, good citizens at heart, opposed
to dirty politics, dishonesty and official
corruption, are apparently determined
to clean house,

PEOPLE BUILD
G GOD ROADS

Wednesday was good roads day, and
the citizens of Orofino generally turned
out and worked. County officials,
store clerks, merchants, lawyers, doc
tors and politicians were on the job,
using pick or shovel as needed. Own
ers of teams turned out and lot of
good work was done. County Conn MIS-
sloner Zelenka was kept busy from
morning till night bossing the job, and
for once the citizens of Orofino
dropped politics and worked together
for the good of the community. Every
body enjoyed it, and the entire COM
munity is better for the effort. The
biggest crew WIS concentrated on one
block, from the public school to the
Christian church, piece of road that
became terror to teams last winter.
This block was rocked and surfaced
with gravel and sand, and while one
day was not enough to complete the
job, a solid road wide enough for any
vehicle was made. It will be widened
later.
Some work was done on other places,
but it was too big Job for one day,
and everybody voted to try it again.
Mrs. Zelenka treated the men to lie mon
ade in the afternoon, and other ladies'
showed their interest by providing

People Want Honest Deal.

Walter w. Michaelis, of Elk River,
was in Orofino Saturday proving up on
his homestead before j. w. Merrill,
u. S. commissioner Mr.. Michaelis
said that the one greatest need of the
county was better roads, and sug-
gested that every available cent be ex-
pended in this way. He believed. he
said, it would be much better for the
people If our county funds could be
more economically expended in other
ways, and the saving put into roads.
For illustration, the present waste on
county printing should be stopped and
the funds spent on county roads.
Road culvert should not be bought at
an excessive price, and the saving
spent on roads. The Republican be.
lieves saving of many thousands Of
dollars annually can be made, if the
people will put the present extrava-
giant gang out Of power, electing IN
stead county board that will make an
honest effort to serve the people in
stead Of playing into the hands of the
Orofino Tribune, Beall & Co., the Sc
curity Bridge Co., and an army of in
competent pap suckers who are living
on the taxpayers through pull at the
county road funds. In other words,
"when tax dollar buys as much as a
private dollar" the county will have
more funds that may be used to build
roads and open up this great county.

Weippe will have one of the best
celebrations the Fourth ever pulled off
in the county. The citizens are prepar.
ing fine new half mile track for the
celebration. There will be plenty of
sport, good shade and a welcome.
The Orofino ball team, made up OF
the best players in the country, will
play picked nine from Weippe, and
a good game is assured.
The biggest proposition is transporta-
ton, and an effort will be made to han
die all who care to visit Weippe the
Fourth.
In view Of the great prominence the
coming timber sale has given Weippe
the drive across the prairie and
through the tall timber will be most
pleasant. Many people will enjoy see.

no sentiment among republicans op-
posing an honest cruise of timber, but
does find unanimous sentiment
among both democrats and republicans
against the way the business has been
handled. The republican party will
no doubt pledge its candidates
to a policy that will insure
square deal to the people, not only in
the assessment of timber, but in the
expenditure of county funds. "The
tax dollar should buy as much as the
private dollar" will be the demand of
the republicans of Clearwater county.

A New Berry.

w. H. Webb and wife, were in Oro-
fino yesterday from their ranch near
Ahsahla, bringing with them some
fine Strawberries. They left a sample
Of variety called the "Gold Dollar" at
the Republican office, and we can
vouch they are excellent, not only to
look upon, but to eat. The berry is
extra large and very sweet and Mr..
Webb says he has grown them IS to
the box. He will have an acre come
into bearing next year. The Webbs
are enthusiastic over Clearwater coun-
ty, and believe Orofino will make a
thriving city.

To show what can be done here in
Orofino when one grows pedlgreed
berries, T. j. LaForest has on display
at the Owl Drug Store an exhibit that
would startle the natives Of most pla-
ces. One Of the berries is eight inches
in circumference, and he has "Hood
Rivers" that would make the Oregon
product look like culls. The exhibit
shows four varieties, "Magoons, "Ad-
miral Dewey" pride Of Michigan"
and 'Hood River" all splendid speci-
mems Of their family. In the display is
one hill or plant, showing several great
clusters from mammoth ripe ones to
the tiny green berries coming ON.

Meador and crew of six or seven men
have just finished 55-foot truss bridge

or nine miles south of town by road. 1t
will be part of the new Basin road for
which the commissioners have approv-
ed petition and which County Survey
or LeBaron is expected to lay out in the
next few weeks. The road will give
access to the Scott, Erickson and Broad
ley places which can now be reached
only over almost perpendicular bluffs,
and yet will cost little to build. Its
three miles of length will also open up
tract in the basin which has a favor

Hon. John Sharp williams.

The following from the Jones
County News is a calm and dispas-
sionate writeup for raising a political
issue above the factional fog:
Nov, we do not personally know
Senator Williams, we are under no
Obligations whatever to him and
have no favorS to ask at his hands,
so what we may pen is prompted
solely by desire to keep our read
ers informed. While living in Geor-
gia and the two CarolinaS, when
strong, true and able Democratic
statesmen were mentioned, John
Sharp Williams Of Mississippi always
led the list. Abroad he is recog-
nized as one Of the best and Suong-
est Democrats in either branch.oi
Congress, and many look upon him
as the ablest representative our party
has, and while a man Of few words,
his influence is predominating. HIS
service in shaping legislation in the
interests Of his party and people is
ineStimable. A prophet is not with.
out honor save in his oWn country.
We hope the voters Of our State will
carefully consider before repudiatinc
and striking down imam Of sucl,
undoubted and overtoweTing ability
and who reflects such honor upon
his constituents abroad as Senator
Williams, or supplanting him witt
some new and untried man, whC
must take his seat in the rear ranks
robbing Mississippi Of its proud pres.
tge and be practically without powel
or influence"

Should Be Buried Or Burned.

DR.. Z. N. Rauck, in the Progress
sive Farmer, offers the following ad-
vice as 10 the disposition Of dead
animals, which should be strictly
adhered to:
In the event an animal dies, you
should see to It that It's body is
burned, or buried at least four feet
under ground. Do not allow dogs,
buzzards, hogs, or any other animal
to feed upon the carcass. They will
spread, and may contract, many Of
the infectious diseases. The proper
way to burn a carcass is to dig a
trench about four feet wide, three
feet deep and as long as necessary.
If many animals are to be oremated
a long trench can be make with a
horse and plow and scraper, Place
across the trench, which has been
filled with dry wood or old stumpS,
some green poles or iron rods; place
the carcass on these; put more wood
upon the carcass; saturate all with
kerosene and set It ahre.
DO not drag carcasSes along the
road, except on a door or slide, a.
some diseases are very eonlagIou.
and other animals may contract then
by walking along the road"
