THE RETURN

After long following of strangers

BY untried hills and over fretful
foam.
After long wandering in alien places
Tonight l sleep at home.
Tonight the old house opens tender
To draw me In, aweary. to its breast
While. slow. throng OF scarce re.
membered charms
Weaves me spell of rest.
All, nowhere else in all the world can
dark
Come down SO velvet footed through
the air
And spread Its quiet tent, too dim TO
mark,
In all the world, nowhere!
With slow. reluctant color in the
west,
And spires outlined against the light
afar;
Crown like upon lonely cedar's
crest,
The jeweled evening star.
Distant. a truant cowbell. lost and
late
. With soft reiterated silver word
Faint in the nesting tree beside the
gate,
I Groom of q drowsy bird,

room.
, On restful pillows fashioned :or my
head.
And watch with dropping eyes amid
the gloom
Dear shadows by my bed.
And breathe awhile the faint IA,
miliar. breath
OF dew wet garden roses, half aware
or murmuring voices In the hall be-
meath.
And soft steps on the stair.
Dear God OF sleep, make me roree,

The way I came. the world learned

Let me be dreamless till tomorrow's
light
Wakes me again at home!

, Only recently, the Cache Knitting
Works of Logan, under the manage.
ment Of Oscar Borkman and his bro.
Their, has installed three new power
knitting machines from Switzerland
They were put in running order by
NJ. G. Berchtol, representative Of the
Duebid Machine Company of Convict,
Switzerland, who has just completed
the work, taught the help Of this COM
pany how to operate the machines
and has returned home.
These new power machines are the
first of their kind to be found In the
state. They are similar to the hand
machines which are operated by the
girls employed In the local factories.
They are wonderful device. For
instance. they knit underwear of diff
ferent sizes and make rib cuff on
the sleeve and ankle of the suit. This
machinery was installed at great
expense. One of the machines will
weigh 5000 pounds. 1t will do the
work of several Of the hand mach
ines. With the installation of this
new machinery the efficiency of the
factory has been increased material
ly. The troubles of not being able
to fill orders promptly has been done
away with. The Cache Knitting
Works will have to increase the size
of It's building 10 It expects to expand
further. Every bit of available
space in the large building On First
North street is now occupied. While
the full force of help required to op.
crate all the machines Is not working
at present, owing to the season, yet
constant payroll, of thirty girls and
six men are kept at wLrK all the
time. The knitting factories OF 10.
gan are doing a tremendous yearly
business. far more than the average
person would believe unless a visit
were made to the. plant while the
work is progressing.

A CIRCUS ROMANCE

r BY Elizabeth Schoen Cobb.
From a distance Marley, circus
clown, worshiped the daring female
equestrienne, Gloria. 1t. was no won

sylph-fashioned girl who had ever
,swayed trippingly across the plat

was LudL Marley udu USSH oil dCCOAS
then teacher in a school of mimicry.
Then the newcomer turned out to be
a mystery. He acted strange and I'M
social. One would almost guess he
was striving to hide himself from
somebody or something.
HE leaves the show and disap-
pears, and you never see him on the
street" said Mr. Rice one day to the
manager.
What matters, so he fills the bill
and draws the croWd?" retorted the
manager.
Yes, he does that, all right" was
conceded.
Then there happened something
that awoke both gratitude and I'M
easfiness in the old ringmaster. One
night, just as Gloria was rounding the
ring with tip-toe elegance, a gasoline
chandelier fell across the head of the
steed she rode.
The. horse screamed, reared and
backed. Gloria sprang lightly to the
sawdust floor of the arena. A whirl
of the scattering flames, however, had
caught her light, gauzy dress.
A shrek of alarm rang from the
audience at this vivid picture of i'm
pending obstruction.
"She is doomedw

The ringmaster stood petriied with
helpless dread Others in the ring
moved forward, but stupidity gazed,
with no plan of aid or rescue. A quick
figure suddenly flew past dressing
room curtains. 1t was Marley.
His face was white as death, his
eyes glowed eager fire. He had torn
down a drapery in his mad rush. How
he did it, he himself could not tell
afterwards, but in flash he had en-
veloped that beloved form, extin-
guished the flames and, Gloria, her
hair barely singed, bowed and smiled
to the audience, while Marley tottered

and required to perform all the duties
to their offices, even to the
making Of new and necessary records,
and that "a fixed regular salary as full
compensation for their services to the
county" means just what it says. The
supreme court of Idaho has held, we
believe, uniformly that the law shall be
strictly construed.
So far as Blair Hoar is concerned the
decision is far from vindication. It
shows that he has not kept faith with
the taxpayers OF Clearwater county.
AS candidate for the office of county
treasurer he told the people that he
would do the work, even if the work Of
tax collector were added, with no extra
clerk hire, and at the fixed salary of

OF the Gilbert meeting shows thus, and
there are others who inform the Re-
publican that Mr.. Hoar repeatedly
made the same statement; that he ex-
, planned that his reasons for taking the
office was to perfect his Systems" Of
the office he sought.
So far, therefore, as the taxpayers Of
the county are concerned, Mr.. Hoar
stand convicted, and his own testimony
at Lewiston is all the proof that should
be asked for. A decision from the
supreme court may change the "vindi-
cation into condemnation"
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-05-15
The Hoar Case.

The first round in the Hoar case, ac-
cording to decision from Judge
Steele, goes to Hoar, and he will now
have an opportunity to try his luck
before the supreme court. The Re-
publican has read Judge Steele's de-
cision, and we have also read some
thing of the testimony and evidence in
the case, and while the court is sup
posed to know more about law than
the average newspaper editor,it is hard
to see how his honor arrived at some
of his conclusions of fact. For in
stance, Blair Hoar admitted on the
stand that he personally wrote only 76
different land indexes into the records,
and it was proven that the price for
such work is ten cents each, or $3.50.
Mr. Hoar admitted that certain card in
dexes, said to be worth 5000 to $1,000,
were a subsequent matter, the cards
were not even purchased at the time
he had completed the work for which
he contracted with the board and drew
the 1925. Yet, if we understand Judge
Steele, the court says that this card
index is the work the board hired Hoar
to do.
There is another point that the prose-
cution made much of, and that the
court, so far as we can see, passed over
entirely. The constitution of Idaho
says that public officials shall rece i've
fixed salaries as full compensation fol
their services to the county. II the
court gave this any consideration we
fail to read it in the decision, and tht
supreme court may not agree with thu
district Judge.
, The case will be appealed to th'
5 supreme court.
l 1t might be interesting, as indicating
l how Judge Steel's Interpretation OF lay
e or facts has been viewed by the sup
r rene court of Idaho, to state that fo
y the year 1918 he has had larger pei
centage of reversals than any OF tn
: four district judges Of northern Idaho
: and the Republican believes one NOR
Il reversal will be added to the record.
C The Republican desires to cast
Z reflection on the court, and have il

A Progressive Farmer

Milo George the Fraser farmer, paid
Orofino his periodical visit Wednesday,
bringing with him four hogs, averaging
200 pounds, forty pounds OF first class
butter, and fifteen gallons of butter
milk which he sold to regular custom
ers. This is practical diversified farm
ing, and when more farmers follow the
same methods the sooner will the
country folks enjoy greater degree OF
prosperity. "But what about market
if everybody goes to selling butter
milk?" somebody will inquire. Well,
there is plenty of market for fat hogs,
and hogs will eat the surplus butter
milk. Convert the products OF the
farm into that product for which there
is a market, and at this time that thing
is pork.

WHO is P H. BLAKE OROFINO IDAHO? BOOZE is HELD.

A suit case, looking like it had done
service for several years, bandaged
and tied and strapped, arrived at
the Orofino depot Thursday evening
of last week, and Dan Delaney, the
drayman, called for it. He said he
didn't have a check, but would leave
the check the next time he came to the
depot. "But you can't have it." said
the railroad agent. "That grip is in
bad condition." and it was. It was
leaking. In fact it leaked all over the
depot platform till the place smelled
like regular saloon.
And who owned the grip? The Re-
publican has no idea. All we can say
is that across the top of the grip, in
large letters, was name that looked
like this:
"P. H. BLAKE, Orofino, Idaho"
Inquiry as to the identity Of this per-
son, was not satisfactory. The city di-
rectory gives only one citizen by that
name, and his friends insist that he
seldom drinks, and somebody has sug-
pested that it must be travelling man
touring the country for his health, who
had taken provision for an emergency
in case he should get bitten by snake
while crossing the Indian reservation.
But it certainly could not have been
