SWEATERS

We are offering some of the
greatest snaps you ever saw. We
prefer to unload all our fine stock
rather than carry the goods over.
We have no room to store our
surplus stock. We are going to
unload at prices that will make it
worth your while to buy now.

We hear much about buy a bale

We hear much about buy bale of
cotton. And it is alright to assist
the cotton farmer of the United
States, but while we are talking let
US buy bag of Clearwater county
beans. There is now stored in a
warehouse here in Orofno several hun
dred bags of first class high grade
beans, the small white navy, unexcel-
led in quality, and fine as beans ever
grow. There is no cheaper or better
food on the market than beans, at four
or five cents pound and not table
should be stranger to this deli
cious food. Buy bag Of beans and
see that you get the Clearwater coun-
ty article. By boosting Clearwater
county beans you are boosting home
industry, and that is worth while.

Strong pressure is to be brought to
induce the coming legislature to ap-
propriate money for the assistance of
the Lewiston Livestock show, an in
stitution worthy of encouragement.
The opposition urge that since Lewis
ton directly benefits from the bust
ness brought in as a result of the fair
that Lewiston should finances the
show, but when we consider that this
livestock show is something of i'm
mense value to the Northwest, and
will bring prosperity to our farmers
through the impetus it will give the
livestock business, Lewiston is en-
titled to some assistance. The only
feature of the thing that makes the
Clearwater Republican feel like tell
ing Lewiston to go it alone is the fact
that we are constitutionally opposed
to boosting business for the cursed sa-
loon. When we help attract people to
Lewiston we are helping the saloons
in Lewiston and we are frank to adj
nit that it goes against the grain.

AS 1T SHOULD BE

In the school house in Belleville,
Wis, few evenings ago, upon mo-
tion of the Catholic priest, the Meth
odist minister was elected president
of the community's social center for
the coming winter.
Then three basket ball teams were
formed, including the priest, the min
lister, the blacksmith, the editor, a
farmer, teamster, druggist, gar
age owner, the banker, the keeper
of the village restaurant, dentist, a
clothier, the saloonkeeper, hardware
merchant, and house painter.
They differed in religion, in poll
tics, in income, in social status about
as widely as anyone can differ. But
in the common school building, in the
free democracy of the social center,
they agreed to lay aside their differ
ences for the novel purpose of dis
covering how much good fellowship
there was in meeting together now
and then, as equals, as brothers.
In the democracy of play, in the
democracy of frank, fair discussion of
public questions they are finding out,
these differing men of Belleville,
that, as human beings, they are amaz-
ingly alike, once you get below the
surface.
And out of this agreeable discovery
will come, from Belleville, more toll
erance, more kindness, more give and
take than it had ever known before.
Even when they shall differ again-as,
of course, they often Wilt won't
be with as much bitterness, as much
bigotry, as much hate as of yore.
It's wonderful solvent, is brother
hood.
The above is from an exchange, and
credit would gladly be given if we
knew the paper and the editor that
produced it.

Clearwater county will someday be-
come famous livestock section. The
cheap timber lands will be bought UP
for grazing and so used till the popu-
lation increases to a point where popu-
lation begins to crowd when diversi-
fled farming will follow. The silo
will make it's advent on every farm
and intensive farming will enable the
farmer to feed his stock even where
cheap range is no longer available
and the stockman is forced to produce
under new conditions. The man who
is looking for field for engaging in
the livestock industry should investi-
gate Clearwater county.

Some iimericks

Said damsel residing in Mass,
"A boy has the edge on Lass
He knows where to scratch
The ding-busted match
When requested to turn on the gas
A certain young lady in Wheeling
Grew weary of waltzing and reel
ing,
It's the tango for me!
1t has action, said she,
And she smiled when her heels hit the
ceiling.
There was an old fellow in Reading
Who muttered: Mans life is
hard shedding
He raises beard,
And then when it's sheared
The one thing it's fit for is bedding.

money is spent the people should not
be satisfied if somebody has failed to
deliver the goods. What the people
want is results, and nobody expects
the county officials can get results
without spending all the work is
worth. But county roads should not
cost a penny more than the work is
worth. In other words tax dollar
should purchase as much as private
dollar.
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1915-01-01

So far as the Republican can esti-
mate the Nease cruise has cost the
taxpayers of Clearwater county about
$40, 900. Of this Nease has been is
sued warrants totaling $685. and
the re-cruise or check by German is
yet to be accounted for. 1t will not
be less than $65, 1000. There was no
cash so the board issued warrants
against the county which draw per
cent. which means an annual interest
charge of something like 5000 per
year.
At this time, when the people are
paying taxes, it is interesting to in
quire what the people got for this i'm
mense expenditure. Let us look at
the cruise fairly, giving it credit
while we are looking for the defects.
Now we have the cruise, but what is
it worth as the basis for taxation?
Next spring the assessor will start
out. Can he rely on this $40, 900
cruise? Since the cruise, or while
Nease was cruising the county, forest
fires were sweeping through the for
est, and on several occasions Nease
had to move camp. He cruised the
Washington and Scofield creeks and
thousands of acres were burned. To-
day the timber on these tracts is par
TALLY or totally ruined, and cannot be
assessed on the cruise. In hundreds
of different places throughout the
county fires destroyed more or less
timber, perhaps ten acres here and
forty or eighty acres in another Sec
ton. These burns are no longer as
sessable according to the cruise. The
courts will not permit discrimination.
The county must be fair and square.
Now what must the county do? Go
back over the vast timbered sections,
four or five hundred thousand acres
cruised by Nease at an expense to the
people of some $40, 900, and pile up
more expense? If the county is to
assess by the cruise the cruise must
be kept alive. That is, it must be
kept checked up. Must Clearwater
county re-cruise every year?
Perhaps, when the people wake up
it will be discovered that the people
have purchased gold brick. 1t is
said that some of the Sound counties
over in western Washington have
come to this conclusion and have aban-
doned the cruise as a white elephant,
after spending vast sums of good mo-
ney to get them.
One effect of the cruise is an in
crease in the taxes Of the poor home
steaders to a point where they are
unable to meet the expense of govern
ment, and heavy taxes will force
these little fellows to sell out at any
price. If we remember correctly it
was w. D. Humiston, representing
the Potlatch Lumber company before
the Clearwater county board last year,
who said he thought the cruise was a
good thing. We have never been
able to figure out why if it raised the
taxes of TIE big companies without
some compensating benefits, and it
may be that the little fellow will in
the end pay the bill.
