More Booze List.

The Republican has another batch Of
the Elk River booze list, covering the
period from April II to 25. The list
shows 1852 quarts of beer, II keys and
cases Of whiskey, and one keg Of wine.
Postmaster +. II. Hilton heads the list
with one barrel of beer on April Sand
the "ladies" over in the "red light dis
trict" conclude the list with twelve
barrels of beer on the %. For the sake
of business the postmaster ought to
patronize the parcel post 1t is said
that the 'ladies" retail their beer at 81
per quart, which will net a handsome
profit and if they were violating the
law in New York it would be fat pick
ing for the officials who wink while the
''ladies' soak the suckers. But Of
course its different out here in Idaho.
Our officials are all honest, and doing
their best to enforce the law. II is
said that the first intmation any OF the
Clearwater county officials had that
anything was wrong out at Elk River
was when they read that booze list in
the Clearwater Republican. 1t is said
that some OF the boys object TO having
their names published, and are now
getting their booze by the suitcase
route.
A citizen OF Elk River writes: "After
reading the published list OF booze
shipments in Elk River the people here
are beginning to sit up and take
netce." And from what the Republi-
can can learn, SO are the county Off
cials.

Harlan For Commissioner.

A movement, originating among the
farmers northeast of Orofino, has been
started with view to inducing Jack
Harlan to become a candidate for
county commissioner. The farmers
declare that there is not man in the
county whose election would be
better guarantee Of honest, fair taxa
ton, and that by no means could the
opposition tar Mr.. Harlan with their
timber stick. He is in favor Of taxing
timber for all that it should be taxed,
regardless Of ownership, and no timber
company has any strings, or will have
any, il the people elect him. The
trouble, so the farmers inform. the Re-
publican, will be in inducing Mr..
Harlan to make the race. His election
would be a foregone certainty.

Weippe Field. Meet.

Weippe, the progressive little town
with the big future, is to have field
meet May 16, open to all Clearwater
county public school pupils. The Oro-
fino high school relay team will attend,
and attempt to bring home few blue
ribbons. The Weippe people are maxi
ing big preparations, having already
announced basket dinner, with hot
coffee served by the ladies club. A
number Of Orofino people have already
signified their intention Of attending
the meet, returning the compliment
paid Orofino when SO many citizens Of
that locality attended the meet in the
county seat. The Republican would
urge the people to take advantage OF
this opportunity to pay visit to
Weippe.

Officers Back Up.

Sheriff Harper, after spending sever
al days in Elk River last week, re-
tured home Saturday bringing with
him three children, two taken from
parents who are unfit to rear them,
and the other, young man, slmost
eigteen years Of age, the son Of Mrs.
Tanghc, formerly Of Troy, who was to
have been sent to the reform school on
the grounds that he would not work,
but the mother and a friend, E. l..
Corbin, for whom the boy had worked,
arrived Sunday, prepared to play few
cards in the game. The mother claims
that the county officials are persecut-
ing her boy; that they are winking at
things they would not care to have the
general public know, and trying to
railroad her son to the reform school.
She said tnat if they kept on she pro.
posed to tell some things she knew,
and that it would be plenty warm.
Mrs. Tanghe, who claims that the
boy is her sole support, found him
working on farm near Orofino, where
the probate Judge very kindly permit
ted him to accept job. She and Mr.
Corbin returned to Elk River Monda,
morning.

Another Beal & Co. Deal.

Bonner county is up in arms over the
purchase OF gasoline traction engine
by the county board, without bids and
without competition, paying $500 for
the engine when the same engine is
listed in the catalogue for $l,S00, and
business men of Standpoint have offered
the same engine to the county for
1900. The farmers are behind suit
started to enjoin the payment OF the
bill. And we suppose Beall & Co., who
put the deal over on the taxpayers
through connivance with county
board, will defend it on the ground, as
they are attempting in the matter OF
road culvert here in Clearwater county,
that their engine is better than the
same goods supplied by others. But il
is understood that in the case in Bon
ner county the price paid was $7OC
more than the engine was listed ir
their own catalogue.

To those who have not map it need
only be said that the district is fan
shape, widening as it leaves the scene
of the work, getting wider and wider
as it goes, until 25 miles away it takes
in whole townships that will never get
a cents worth Of good from the work
to be done. 1t is fittingly shaped like
a funnel, gathering taxes from whole
area and emptying them few miles
above Ahsahka.
The only property that should pay a
special road tax is property that is
benefited by the expense. That would
in this case extend only about to the
north line of 3S-1, 1872 and 1873, leaving
out about $4,000 acres now robbed
by unfair and unjust taxation. Even
if the whole district were benefited the
special levy would be entirely wrong
because other parts of the county are
given expensive local improvements OF
use only to a few and paid from the
general funds. "What is sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander.''
These unjust determinations anc
bare-faced robberies must cease or the
victims will be compelled to form high
way districts or seek annexation to {
county which treats its various part.

Gilbert District Fine.

The Republican editor, accompanied
by his family, had the pleasure Of q
drive through the beautiful country
from the top Of the Gilbert grade to the
Ben Trutton farm Sunday, and the trip
was enjoyed to the limit. Several
hours were spent at the Trutton home,
where good farm dinner and a run
around the ranch, with view down
into Little and Big canyons with field
glasses, made the time pass all too
quickly. For fertile soil, nice laying
land, we'll improved farms, and pro-
gressive farmers, no section Of Idaho
has anything on the Gilbert country.
and it is we'll worth the time required
to drive over the roads, now being put
into fine condition by the overseers.
We could not help being impressed
with the superior advantages this rich
district affords for dairying and hog
raising, and how many Of the farmers
seem to appreciate this fact. Already
some have provided ample silos, and
others expect to do SO. Many large
fields along the road were sown to
clover, showing an appreciation Of the
importance of diversified crops, and an
evident desire to get away from ex-
elusive grain - IT,. The tear
future will fine lhG Gilbert section one
of the leading dairy districts in the
northwest. 1t has superior natural
advantage for this business. 1t is fine
grass country, clover doing exceptions
ally well. Timothy is another CROP
that does well, while corn and bean.
are produced extensively.

Another Suit Started.

A second suit, this time an appeal
from the recent order of the county
board giving M. G. Nease contract
to cruise the entire county, was filed
with the clerk of the district court
Tuesday evening.
On April Is the Clearwater county
commissioners rescinded their first
contract with Mr.. Nease, calling for
three or more townships, an injunction
against which had been filed, and en-
tered into a new contract, calling for
the entire county. Attorney George
Tannahill, one of the best attorneys in
the state, was employed by the county
board to pilot them through their diff
ficulty. County Attorney Holsclaw was
absolutely ignored. A few days after
the last contract was given to Mr..
Nease, Mr.. Tannahill wrote a letter to
the county board, and to the county
attorney, informing them that in his
opinion the last contract was little bet
ter than the first; that the county must
let the cruise by bids; that they could
not enter into private contract with
Nease. Mr.. Nease was 90 informed
and fastened to Orofino where he con-
ferred with the board and kept his
cruisers at work. He said that he
could win the case In court regardless
Of the advice Of Mr.. Tannahill.
The county board met in two days
session last week, awaiting the out.
come Of the injunction proceedings
which had been started, but this was
postponed till Attorney Babb could find
out what the county proposed to do
He did not care to start suits when the
board was jumping from one position
to another. It is understood that the
board then wanted to follow the advice
of Mr.. Tannahill, but Nease refused t.
relinquish his contract, his lawyer, in ,
letter to County Attorney Holsclaw say
ing if bids were asked for that tn,
work would 60 for about eight cents al
} acre, just as the Republican has con
tended.
Before going east Mr.. Holsclaw SAT-
, to the Republican that from the infor
nation he had gathered he was con
vinced the cruise could be made unde
open bidding for eight or nine cent:
. and that the actual cost should not e,
ceed six cents an acre. The letter h
received from Mr.. Nease was goo
; evidence that the contract was to
: high.
I AS the case now stands Nease
n cruising at his own risk, and the entil
o case will be threshed out in the di
!. trict court when the last issue, file
Tuesday, comes up for hearing. job

In response to request from num-
ber Of business men the commercial
club appointed a committee Friday
night to make further investigation
relative to the matter, and If the people
want to observe the Fourth in Orofino
this year, work will be started at once
to the end that an interesting program
may be prepared, and the people en-
tertained in fitting manner. Inquiry
Wednesday brought out the fact that
the celebration would no doubt be
held, number Of farmers saying that
they would like to come to Orofino this
year.
The citizens Of Orofino will do their
best to make the day one Of pleasure
and profit for old and young, and ex.

Commercial Club Active.

The first regular meeting of the OroS
fino CONNIE "ial club was held at the
Owl Drug $50, Friday evening, and
some very pratt cal work started. 1t
was evident tina; he directors mean to
make the organi ton entirely practi-
cal, and therefore useful to both the
merchants and the farmers, for it was
decided to use every possible effort to
establish local creamery, and to build
up in Orofno increased facilities for a
meat packing plant. A committee was
appointed with instructions to gather
all available information relative to the
cost Of creamery, and to get in touch
with the dairy exports at the Idaho
university, with view OF gathering
such data as will enable the farmers to
proceed along sane and safe lines.
1t was suggested that as soon as
possible the club arrange for big
creamery and dairy convention here in
Orofino, and possibly enlarging the
convention SO that some time may be
given to the discussion of more and
better hogs. 1t was decided to use
every effort to encourage the farmers
to engage extensively in livestock pro-
duction, and to market their crop,
through the dairy COW and fat hogs.
1t is hoped the farmers will appre.
ciate the efforts that are being made by
the Orofino commercial club, and that
as many as can will become members
and assist in the work.

Another Timber Sale.

The government is now preparing to
advertise for sale large body of tim.
Der on Lightning creek, tributary OF
the Clarksfork river, near Lake Pend
Oreille, within the Pend Oreille Nation
al Forest, Idaho. This proposed sale
will provide for cutting Of $1,000 M.
feet of saw timber and about $4,000
cedar poles on an area of approximately
$4,000 acres. It is shown to be worth
at present time, by careful appraisal,
about $1,000 A cutting period of five
to ten years is allowed. Detailed topo-
graphic maps and estimates have been
prepared and are open to the inspec-
ton of prospective purchasers. The
timber located as it is, tributary to
Lake Pend Oreille, is accessible to
several existing mills. The tim
Der is being advertised for a
sufficient pariod to give any persons
interested the opportunity of looking
the tract over. The final date for the
acceptance of bids is set for July !.
The state of Idaho will benefit by this
sale in the SUN Of at least @50, 600, as q
result of the regular provision that q
per cent of all receipts from forest re-
sources are turned over to the State
for distribution among the counties
within the National Forest areas fol
use of school and road purposes in
those counties. An additional 10 pei
cent, or $4,000 is also used for roae
construction where it will benefit botf
the settlers and the National Forest.

Food For Thought.

Every family that lives within trad

$500 to 81, 900 to the merchants of our
town. Therefore it will pay to get
busy and do some legitimate advertis-
ing to the end that Clearwater county
may be settled up. We have the
goods; all that Orofino needs is more
people to utilize these rich natural re-
sources. And now is the time to get
busy, for with the opening up Of the
timbered sections to the east means .
large home market that will require all
our farmers can produce. Wake up
and get busy.

The People Are Tired, Alright.

Here is evidence that the people are
getting tired of the "war" here in Oro-
fino. From one farmer IN the north
west part of the county came an order
for some work, with word Of en-
couragment, saying: am sending what
little work can as own property in
Clearwater county and feel that the
Republican is fighting for my in
terests."
From Wells Bench another farmer
writes: "Keep the good work going.
You are doing fine"
The last to be received this week is
from Lenore where the third farmer
writes, in true western style: "Find q
dollar for one new subscription. Give
'em H."
In addition to this second donation
of fifty dollars, the gift of dozen citi
zens of Orofino, came in, all showing
that the people are getting tired. There
are some tired people alright, bu
most of them are drawing salaries from
Clearwater county.
For all the many expressions Of gooe
will, the Republican is truly thankful
and for the funds to keep the Republi
can going we will show our apprecia
tion by honest service. If we are dc
ing something for the people wort
while we are certainly glad, and sha
continue the fight for clean count

stand back Of us in the loyal way the
are now doing. Next week we propos
