A Beautiful Country.

If there is more beautiful country
in the West than that west of Orofino
in the Gilbert and Russell sections we
have never heard of it, and have GER
tainly not had the privilege of seeing
it. Tuesday, in company with Attor-
neys Becker and Hannah, and VIM.
Peatman, we drove up the long grade
to the top Of the hill and then swung
north, passing through stretch of very
fine land, with splendid crops of wheat,
oats and barley, just maturing.
While the 1914 crop is above the aver
age, this section always produces fine
crops, and the land lays about as
ideal as one could wish.

The Millennium is Here.

Talk about accommodating railroad
officials, Conductor George Phillips,
the good natured fellow who runs the
passenger train from Sites to Lew
iston has everything in the country
backed clear off the map. Saturday
morning the train came sailing into
Orofno, but just above town, at the
big eddy, there was somebody's Jersey
cow fast in the wire fence at the side
of the right of way. Bossy WASH t
on the track, and the train WASH t
going to run over her, but she had
put her pretty head through the fence
and got caught. There she was, and
hadn't been milked for some time.
Conductor Phillips stopped the train,
the crew got out and unfastened the
COW, and then ran into the station,
where Mr.. Phillips told the people
on the platform, and asked them to
see that the COW was looked after.
"She needs to be milked," said the
conductor, and an hour later bossy
was driven into Swank's livery stable
and relieved of her creamy burden.
It was Mr.. Swank's COW, who failed
to show up Friday night.

Weippe May Get Saloon.

Job Snyder of Weippe has applied to
the county commissioners for a
liquor license. By recent decision
of the supreme court Clearwater
county is now wet" territory, as is
all territory cut off from dry coun-
ties. Orofino is on the reservation,
and must remain dry, and it is said
that Elk River is dry by virtue of a
provision of the deeds which provide
that no saloon shall ever be run on
the lots within the townsite of Elk
River. The nearest place out Of Oro-
fino that saloon could be run would
be three miles east. According to
some Of the thirsty ones that would
help some.

To people living within the terri
tory of the Clearwater Timber Pro-
tective Association: You must have
a written permit before you can burn
any slashing or set fire of any kind.
This is absolutely necessary SO we

provided the permit is issued, which
will all depend on the weather con-
ditions and Locality.

Home Industry.

1t was a matter of interest to the
editor of the Republican to'see, as
we passed through Troy the first of
the week, number of men busily
engaged at a large fire brick fac
tory, and to note that the company
has erected a large and substantial
plant. There is a large deposit of
white clay a few miles from Troy,
and local company is building up
a home industry that is giving the
town payroll.

Split Log Drag is Best.

A Washington dispatch says: The
road drag is the simplest and least
expensive contrivance yet devised
for maintaining earth roads, accord
ing to the experts in the United
States department Of agriculture,
who are cooperating with state and
county authorities in the work for
better roads.
Properly used, the drag gives the
needed crown to the road, smoothes
out the ruts and other Irregularities,
spreads out puddles of water, thereby
accelerating the drying of the road,
and makes the surface more or less
impervious to water by smearing over
the so-called pores in the earthly mat
erial. The cost Of operation depends,
of course, upon local conditions and
the thoroughness with which the
work is done. 1t is safe to say, how
ever, that it is less expensive than
any other efficient system of upkeep.
Farmer Bulletin No. 597 Of the de-
partment of agriculture discusses un-
der the title of 1.-THE Road Drag and
How 1t Is Used," the best methods
of maintaining earth roads in good
condition by this simple devise. In
this bulletin, which has just been
published, the department points out
that Of more than 1000, 600 miles Of
public roads in the United States,
only about 200, 900 miles have been
given hard surface. 1t is true, of
course, that large part Of the re-
naming mileage consists of roads
that are entirely unimproved, and
that on roads of this class the drag is
practically useless. There is much
larger mileage, however, that has
been partially improved, and it is or
roads of this character roads that
have been crowned or drained, but
have not hard surface-that the use
of the drag is advocated.
In its simplet form the road drag
consists Of an ordinary log split in hall
and the two halves connected like the
upright of a ladder by menas of eros
sticks or rungs set in. The log shoult
be about seven or eight feet in length
1t is better to have it of we'll sea
soned, hard, tough wood. The tw'
semi-cylindrical halves Of the 10,
form the runners of the drag, and ar
usually spaced from 80 to 36 inche
apart. The front runner is alway
placed with the split surface of tn
wood facing forward, but the rea
runner sometimes has its rounded fac
in front. This is done to increas
the smearing action of the drag as i
passes over the surface of the road.
The two runners are not placed di
rectly behind each other, but are "off
set, as it is called, from IL to l
inches. This is done because tn
drag is drawn over the road at a
angle sufficient to make the runner
free themselves of the material whic
they scrape. The amount of thi
angle or skew depends, of course
, upon the condition of the road. B
, offsetting the runners, it is possibl
/ to make their ends follow approx
mately the same line in the roat
which they would not do if set direc,
, ly behind each other and the dra
drawn at an angle with the road.

Killed q Rather.

Thos. Harris reported rattler
on the trail as he was coming into
Orofino few days ago, and although
he got to hit it with rock, the snake
escaped into pile Of brush.
Thursday morning Maynard Brown,
while riding bicycle along the road
on the west side Of the river, saw a
rattler uncoil and strike at the wheel
as he passed. Mr.. Brown had better
luck than Mr.. Harris, for he succeed
ed in killing this one.

Ailshie Defeuds Record.

James F. Ailshie, candidate for
United States senator on the republi-
can ticket, has written the following
open letter to the Pocatello Tribune:
Editor Pocatello Tribune,
Pocatello, Idaho.
Dear Sir:-A short time ago my
attention was called to an article in
your paper to the effect that my can
didacy for the United States senate
was interfering with my official
duties as justice of the supreme
court. Again, in your Fourth, Of
July issue you say:
Had the court depended on Judge
Ailshie during the past three or four
months the lawyers would have had
to 60 fishing, as the bulk Of his time
has been spent in campaigning over
the state at the expense of the people
and under the cover Of fraternal
organization. During this, time his
Office has been occupied BY Judge
Walters, Judge Bulge and other dis
trict judges of the state, who have
performed able and conscientious
work for the people, and were called
in while Judge Ailshie was operating
the political soft pedal and expand
ing on the buncombe that my first
duty was to the state and litigants
whose cases had been argued and
submitted"
can think of no source from which
you might receive such information.
The facts are and the records, which
anyone may see at any time, show
that neither Judge Bulge nor Judge
Walters has occupied my Office or
served in my place or done my work
in any case, and they would certain
ly tell you SO. Whenever they have
served at all this year, they have
been called to fill the place of Justice
Stewart. Upon examination, Justice
Sullivan and l find that have been
absent from the hearing Of but one
case this entire year, and then Judge
Bryan sat In my place.
The records also show that this year
Justice Sullivan has written one ma
jority opinion more than l have writ
ten, while l have written five more
minority opinions than he, and the
records show that during my full
term of service have written nearly
one hundred (96 to be exact more
opinions, and been absent from the
sessions of the court fewer times, than
either justice of the court.
l was moved to look up these
facts and figures only because you
have twice made public accusation
Of my lack of diligence and respon-
sibility in the high Office with which
/ have been twice honored. l claim
no credit for these facts, and their
value to me at this time exists
merely as poof Of the incorrectness
and injustice Of your statement.
As for the service l have rendered
as grand master of the fraternal
order of Odd Fellows, l may say
that, having known me more thar
twenty years, they themselves are
best able to answer your unfoundee
insinuation that l am using my Office
as a political soft pedal' to further
my interests as a candidate for the
United States senate. / began tt
serve them as an officer five years ago
and that my election to serve them il
their highest office should have occur
ed last year could certainly not b.
counted any political work of mine
Respt. yours, j. F. AILSHIE.

GETTING ONES SECOND wIMl
Explanation of Action Familiar to
Every Athlete Is a Most
Simple One.

The probable explanation of the
second wind is as follows: In the
deep breathing of an athletic person
taking moderate exercise at sea level,
lack Of oxygen plays no part. The ef-
feet is wholly due to an increased pro-
duction of carbonic acid stimulating
the respiratory center, which responds
proportionally. On very violent ex-
ertion at sea level, however, and on
even moderate exertion at a great al
titude, the oxygen supply to the tis-
sues Of the body is temporarily insult
ficient
Substances other than carbonic acid,
such as Tactic acid, are produced, and,
when these substances reach the re-
spiratory centers by the way of the
that one overbreathes. That is, the
violent painting ventilates the carbon
ic acid out of the blood more rapidly
than the body is producing it. The
substances which thus overestimate
the respiratory center are not vola
tile and cannot be given off by way
OF the lungs, but .A,ey appear to be
rather rapidly oxyG:zed in the blood
When the carbonic acid has been
considerably diminished a part of the
stimulus to the respiratory center is
removed so that one can breathe more
moderately-tha is. one gets his sec
ond wind" When the exertion stops,
the production of the stimulating sub
stances ceases, and the quantity Of
carbonic acid in the blood having been
reduced below the amount necessary
to stimulate the respiratory center,
one falls into a period of apnoea fol-
lowed by Cheyne-Stokes breathing,
like an engine with a sensitive gov
ernor and no fiywheel Breathing
oxygen under these conditions hastens
the combustion of the acid substances
which have accumulated in the blood.

Ireland's Stirring Song.

The origin of the unofficial anthem
Of Ireland "St. Patrick's Day in the
Morning" is most obscure, The ear
lest known copy appears in Ruther-
ford's Country Dances published in
l749, but it is said to have been played
by the Irish pipers at the battle Of
Fontenoy in 1T45, and was probably
current for some time before this. The
tune is found attached to various roll
licking old English songs. The Cum
berland song of faithless Barbery
Pell whcse lover vows to wear a red
coat for her sake, is sung to a version
of "St. Patrick's Day" the words Bar
barry Bells my darling" being substi-
tuted in the chorus for "Patrick's day
in thc morning"
