Elmer Desvoigne, who is interested
in the local cement plant, while in
Orofino this week said that lack of
funds, the result of the tight money
market, had made it impossible for
the company to go ahead at this time.
In his opinion the Orofino cement de-
posit is one of the best propositions
in the United States, and work will
start as soon as business conditions
settle.
Gilbert Hogue, of Cuna, near Boise,
! who visited his parents in Orofino the
past week, left for home Tuesday.

spent the summer in Orofino with his
grandparents.

Girl Gets Bad Fall

Miss Maud Baker, the l4-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Bak-
er, living near the cement plant, was
painfully hurt Sunday night as the re-
suit of twelve foot fall. While
asleep upstairs the girl walked
through an unprotected hole in the
ceiling, falling to the floor below.
No bones were broken but Miss Baker
is very sore as the result of her acci-

Idaho Harvester Can't Explode.

Leo Smith came down from Moscow
Wednesday in the interest Of the Idaho
National Harvester Company. Mr..
Smith has charge Of the woodworking
department. of the Moscow factory,
and was here to buy lumber for the
1915 output. He says the company is
now buying the material for 200 Of the
machines next year, for which there
is now tremendous demand.
Here is something for the farmer
to think about: The Idaho is the only
harvester in the world that cannot ex-
plode from smut. With 200 in the
field this season, and threshing ma
chimes blowing up and the subsequent
trouble, not an Idaho combine blew
up. You cannot explode an Idaho.
Why? Because there is no place
in an Idaho to confine anything to
blow up. The grain hits the cylinder
and in few feet the straw drops out
onto the ground. And this year
Idahos have worked in as smutty grain
as any machine harvested.
The Idaho is only four feet from
the cylinder to the back Of the draper
where the straw leaves the harvester.
1t is open, with nine-foot fans fore
ing steady stream of fresh air
through the cylindar and out over the
tail with the straw.
Handling only standing grain it is
impossible to get matches into the
Idaho, unless one tied them to the
heads of standing grain. And then
what? There would be no explosion.
If match were to ignite in an Idaho
it would do no more damage than set
, the stubble afire behind the machine.
There is never any volume of straw in
| the Idaho at any time. So a fire Of
any consequence could never be start.
| ed.
t For ten years a number of pool
people have struggled hard to make
the Idaho a success, and it is gratifying
Z that the machine has at last proven
itself more of success than it's pro
: moters dared to dream it would O
could ever be.

Glacier National Park

That the ice fields of Glacier Ma
tional Park present some of the best
examples of active glaciers now found
in the United States, is statement
made by Mr.. w. c. Alden in PAM
phlet just issued by direction of Secre-
tary Lane. "They have splendid
setting in magnificent Alpine seem
cry" says Mr.. Alden, unsurpassed
in grandeur anywhere. Hidden away
in the recesses of the mighty noun
tain ranges, these rare and wonderful
features form climax to many of the
interesting trips open to the tourist.
''There are in the park about nine-
ty small glaciers, ranging in size from
Blackfeet Glacier, with it's three
square miles of ice, down to masses
of but few acres in extent, yet ex-
hibiting the true characteristics of
true glaciers.
"After examining these features,
one can easily picture to himself, as he
looks down the valleys, the great riv-
ers of ice which in ages past cascad-
ed from the cliffs below the upper
cirques, converged as tributaries from
the many branch valleys, and united
in great trunk glaciers. In imagina-
ton he can see these great glaciers,
many hundreds of feet in depth, fill
ing the great mountain valleys from
side to side, and deploying thence
upon the bordering plains. He seems
to see these mighty engines pluckine
away the rock ribs of the mountains,
smoothing, grinding, and polishing
the irregularities and sweeping away
the debris to be spared on the plains
below. These glaciers developed arr
extended three times and, after eacl
development, the CONCEALED masses
melted away on the return of milde
r climatic conditions, until at lengtl
: only the small cliff glaciers of tn
t present day are left lurking in tn
= protected recesses at the heads of tn
capacious valleys.
q "Many of the rock-walled amphi
r theatres are no longer occupied b
e ice, but from all there issues stream
fed by the melting snow or ice. Thes
plunge over the cliffs in beautiful
foaming cascades and rush on dow
the mountain gorges. The meltin
. glaciers left many inclosed basini
large and small, and in these the wat

ANTI-BLAKE CANDIDATE

slipped off to Boise some two months
ago and represented the democrats Of
Clearwater county at u meeting Of the
state committeeman. Jim got back
as far as Spokane and was interview
ed, saying that things were lovely in
the democratic party. And here is
the inside of that Boise trip.
Pat was then laying his wires for
the post Office in Orofino. Up to this
time the Blakes were with Hawley.
But Nugent happened to be in con-
troll of the state patronage, and Jim
Blake lined up with Nugent on q
dry program. Oh, hypocracy |!
Now the cat is out Of the bag. Nu-
gent must have used the Orofino post
Office and traded it to the Blakes for
their vote in the state democratic
meeting, and Hawley was sidetracked.
In other words, Mr.. Nugent, playing
for the dry vote, has betrayed the
democratic party of Clearwatre county,
and endorsed man for post master
who is notorious boozer. That is
how much Nugent cares about the
'dry" issue.
The issue is clean-cut for the demo-
Gratis in Clearwater county. John F.
Nugent is Blake candidate. If he
beats Mr.. Hawley it means that the
Blakes will have the control Of the
patronage in this county. Therefore
if you are not Blake gang democrat
vote for Hawley.

The above is inspired by the fact
that about the first of the year John
Molloy, assessor of Clearwater coun-
ty, suddenly resigned, and the job was
given to Pat Blake. Why Molloy re-
signed has never been satisfactorily
explained, for while Mr.. Molloy said
it was owing to private business which
required his time, it was generally not
belived, and the subsequent action of
Mr.. Molloy has confirmed the suspicion
that the real reason was that Pat want
ed the job, and kicked Johnny out.
And Johnny was made deputy assessor,
and has since been Pats hired man,
in public Office to which Mr.. Molloy
was elected by the people by the big
gest majority given any man in the
county last election.
It was reported that Johnny was to
have the Orofino post Office as salve
for his lacerated feelings, and the
humiliation Of being fired out of a
public Office by the Blake gang. For
you can't expect even modest fellow
like Johnny Molloy to stand and smile
and be docile and obedient and few
other things, yea, even to giving up a
good job for dinky deputyship in his
own Office, at smaller salary, unless
the Blake machine dangled some
tempting morsal in the way of pros
pcetive pie in Johnny's face. And SO
rumor had it that the gang had endors-
ed Molloy for postmaster, and it is
reported that Johnny kept on smiling
and dreaming of the time when Mr..
Parker would resign and the Associat-
ed Press would flash to the world the
news that John P. Molloy was postmas-
ter of Orofno. Johnny probably
spent his spare time practicing sign
ing his name "John P. Molloy, P.
M
But few people were simple-mindec
enough to believe that Molloy woulc
any more out of the promised posi-
office job than he did out of the as
sessor's job, and when the news came
Monday announcing the appointment
of Pat Blake, Johnny Molloy was th'
only surprised man in Orofino.
1t took Mr.. Molloy about three
hours to see the point and then he go
his hat and the last seen of him h
was hunting for Pat Blake.
Well, Molloy has a kick coming
perhaps, for it is said that only re
Gently he gave Pat Blake a hundre
dollars as expense money to go t
Coeur d'Alene city to see the stat
democrtic chairman, Mr.. Elder, an
cinch the appointment of Mr.. Molloy
And Pat evidently did good job-fc
Pat-on Johns money!

The above document, a ukase from
the Gear Of the old gang. was handed
to Auditor Kaufman early Tuesday
morning, but Mr.. Molloy had left
town an hour before, his war paint
on, tomahawk in hand, looking for
Blake scalps. It is said that Mr..
Molloy will do business with Blake
candidates wherever he finds them,
regardless of what ticket they happen
to be on. Well, Molloy ought to

No matter what the general opinion
may be as to the Orofino post office
deal and Pat Blake, there would be
no complaint if President Wilson
would appoint John Molloy. What
ever may be said about John, it is
everywhere admitted that Mr.. Molloy
is honest, and that mail entrusted to
his care would not be tampered with.

10y as assessor, with the promise |
from P. H. Blake, democratic county |
chairman, to John Molloy, his friend,
that is worthy Of general public con-
sideration.
It is worthy of serious concern to
the citizens of Clearwater county
when party boss can dicker and
trade in county offices with as much
disregard of the people as would the
ordinary citizen display were he
swapping horses; it is Of even more
concern when public men show a dis
regard for every rule of honor, de-
cency and manhood, betraying a
friend, and demonstrating that there
is not semblance of honor or respon-
sibility or truthfulness in their make
up. 1t is enough to make honorable
men and good women recoil as if
stung with the deadly virus Of an ad-
der, and to hang their heads in morti-
fication.
We are supposed to have govern
ment in which some regard is paid to
the wishes Of the people, and it is
hard to believe that the president of
the United States would lend his high
Office to the honoring of one deserving
only of contempt and scorn.
But P. H. Blake is political boss.
He is still the democratic county
chairman of this county, and the po-
litical shyster in Clearwater county
has been, we must believe, endorsed
by the state organization, and regard
less of the wishes of the people, and
without consulting the Orofino demo-
Gratis, and without giving the patrons
of the Office any consideration, the ma
tional organization, or machine, has
become a party to this outrage on a
community that must depend on the
local Office for the most cherished and
valuable and important service the
federal government renders to COM
munity.
It is gratifying to know that the
appointment of P. H. Blake is not to
be accepted by the democrats Of Oro-
fino without a protest. Washington
is being petitioned ard implored moi
to consummate the outrage. The senate
is being urged by citizens of all part
les to refuse to confirm Pat Blake.
It is charged that he is addicted te
the excessive use of intoxicating Ii
quor; that he is untitled for this posi-
. ton; that he does not have the conf.
dence of the patrons of the local pos
' office, and therefore should not be i'm
posed on this community in this i'm
portant position.
Lastly, and the real reason why P
i H. Blake should not be appointed il
i that his honest is questiond. His be
I trayal of a friend, surrounded witt
all the brazenness of one lost to ever,
e sense of honor, decency and self-re
+ spect, shows Mr.. Blake to be ma
e unworthy of confidence, ard not fit t
occupy place of public trust. Hi
q confirmation would be wrong.
# We have not intended to reflect O

THE GOAT.

The Blake gang had little goat

And everywhere the Blake gang wen
He bought himself ticket.
When Patrick ran for Probate Judge
= The goat became assessor
But soon was forced to abdicate
And Pat was his successor.
On being ousted from his post
He only ran the faster
To overtake another job
And be the next postmaster.
But Pat was close upon his heels
AS they entered Parker's pew
And with the aid of one swift kick
The goat went right on through.
