Business Boom In Sight for Clearwater Co.

Everything indicates that great
strides will be made in the develop
merit of Clearwater county in the very
near future. The vast natural re-
sources, principal of which is timber,
will not Justify policy of further
delay. The increase in growth cannot
equal the expense for taxes, fire pro-
lection and interest on the investment.
Corporation-o owned timber grows no
more rapidly than that owned by the
homesteader, who knows that under
existing conditions, without figuring
cost of fire protection or interest,
timber in Clearwater county is a
white elephant.
Consider another fact. Within our
immediate section is much ripe, ma
tured timber that must be harvested
or lost, and the growth of the young
forest cannot much more than compen-
safe for the waste in matured growth,
for timber, like all vegetation, has
its seedtime, matruity and decay.
The companies own much tim
Der purchased on twenty years time
and its removal is now necessary if it
is not to be forfeited, which is hardly
possible.
The Scofield interests at Weippe in
vested more than $50, 600 for state
timber last year, and must begin
manufacturing lumber within thirty
six months from date of purchase.
A year Of this time has expired. It
will require most of another year to
erect such plant as will handle this
timber. together with the millions of

Mr.. Hunt Discusses Other Side of the Case

Editor Clearwater Republican: So
many broadsides have been fired thru
the medium of the press, to educate
the possessor of the illusive article
the A Almighty dollar as to where it
should be spent to procure the most
good to our home community and our
pocket books, that | would suggest
shifting of the batteries. Let's fire
the other barrel once before it gets so
rusty it will not go off.
So far all the firing has been done
in behalf of the merchant, with the
consumer as a target. Now anyone
knows it is hard to fire from one posi-
tion long and not expose your posi-
tion. All the arguments on spending
your money at home are good, if tenn
pered well with consistency. Read
ing between the lines in all of them
we are coached that even if it does
cost fraction more you get the bene-
fit anyway, as the money stays right
here, and get another grab at it. OF
course, if you miss it as it does the
boomerang stunt, you are supposed to
grin, as that is where the joke comes
in. AS | said before let us shift once
in awhile and jog the middle men.
Are they consistent?
Do they pay all they think it is
worth and sometimes trifle more
for home products, because they be-
lieve the dollar spent at home stays
right there and rebounds to benefit
their community? When they are in
need of any homemade products do
they try and buy at home, even if it

commission house in another state?
A good many struggling farmers in
our county are larely dependent, dur
ing the winter months, (and some of
them the whole year, on selling a
few cords of wood in order to clear
their lands and exist at the same
time. They turn their money over
to the middle man for flour, clothes,
groceries, etc. Some goes to pay
telephone bills, and occasionally, but
not often, little goes to pay sub
scription on the home paper. Do
these middlemen burn wood altogether
and encourage their friends to do like

after he has run all the risks of
broken limbs while cutting the wood
and hauling it down hundred and

not least, collected his hard earned
dollar, can spend it at home where it
not only helps himself and his family
but the community in which he lives

Here's An Honest Democrat.

The truth, however painful, is COM
ing home, and it is humiliating and
deplorable thing, as some farmers of
democratic faith see it, that demo-
cratic county officials went out Of
their way last year, during the cam
paign, to deceive the people in regard
to the true condition of county busi-
ness. "Our county board knew they
were overdrawing various funds. and
that the county was in debt, says
the farmer, ''and | do not see why
they did not use some common sense.
Why did they want to lie to the
people? Us democrats believed in our
fellow democrats. We relied on their
statements as to county affairs, and it
is humiliatirg for any self-respecting
citizen, regardless of politics to be
guilty, even unconsciously, of helping
to deceive ones neighbors. We might

pay off the old debt

burned logs the same company has
slashed on Washington creek. This
the Scofield interests have prepared to
saw, and to save it, must turn it into
lumber within twenty-four months.
1t is quite we'll known that the
Scotields have abandoned the idea of
fuming their lumber to market down
Fords creek. If 50 they have assur-
ance of railroad to Weippe in 1916.
If the milwaukee, starts to tan this

1t is rot improbable the company Will
extend the cement spur, which gives
them right of way thru Orofino, on
up Orofino creek via Pierce to Weippe.
The advantages of this route over
the Fords creek route are manifest.
1t would not only serve to market the
tonnage south of Fords creek, but
would tap that vast section from Oro-
fino creek to the North Fork, and the
grade is said to be better than Folds
creek
What is true regarding the Scofeld
interests is more or less true regard
ing all timber owners in the county.
1t is true of the Clearwater company,
the largest in the county, and it is
not reasonable to figure the actual
saving Of Clearwater county timber
will never begin.
We know of no section of Idaho
with brighter prospects than Clear
water county, and predict for Orotino
a beginning, in the near future, OF
the long promised boom.

He Got The Coyote Alright.

E. j. Stencil, who lives above
Greer in the Fraser neighborhood, has
a coyote story worth WHILE. 1t cost
him a broken arm, which he was
nursing in Orofino Wednesday. Mr..
Stencil decided to do little coyote
killing this winter, to help pay taxes,
and has two fine trained dogs which
he intended to use. A few days ago
he heard his dogs on chase, not far
from his house and he hurried after
them.
Upon investigation it was found
the dogs had coyote cornered in a
rocky bluff and Mr.. Stencil went
above where he located the shifty
creature. With few rocks he chased
the coyote out and soon there was a
fight on worth while, with the dogs
victorious. 1t then occurred to Mr..
Stencil that if he wanted any of the
hide he had better get down the hill
ard stop his dogs. And he hadn I

Apple Scab Controlled By Proper Spraying

M. A. Willis, Plant Pathologist,
University of Idaho, offers the follow
ing on the Apple Scab: The fungus
which causes this disease lives over
winter in the infected areas of dead
and decaying apple leaves. In the
spring it produces tiny spores. These
spores may be carried by the wind or
py birds to the young and tender
foliage where it germinates readily
and produces infections which endan-
ger both fruit and leaves.
The first step in the control of ap-
pie seab is to destroy the sources of
infection. The methods by viii III

The above figures reveal most
astonishing set of facts, and ac-
count for half million of the mill
lion and half shrinkage under AS
SCISSOR Hinckley in 1915 as compared
to the P. H. Blake assessment in
1914. AS we have said above there
are from three to four hundred of
these cases. of which the above are
samples. Assessor ssHinckley followed
the cruise, the only thing he could do,
and the valuation of the county shrunk
some half million right here.
Attention is called to the fact that
practically all of these timber owners
are non-residents of Clearwater coun-
ty. Good democrats like Frank Green
of Troy, Latah county, didn't vote in
Clearwater county; neither does DR..
w. A. Adair Of Moscow, whose name
appears on the above list. Frank
David Of Moscow is another, and DR..
Keller, democrat, of Lewiston, an
other, who, with more than three
hundred others have been gouged out
of all reason that The gang, for polit-
ical effect, might make showing Of
inflated values. And, possibly, they
were bleed that the Blake gnag might
have more county funds to handle.
The cruise has done some good; it
has brought some degree of relief to
these individual timber holders, a
class who have been the worst suffer
ers of any.
The 1914 assessment by P. H.
Blake was so rank the state board of
equalization reduced the valuation on
Clearwater timber lands TWENTY
PER CENT.
Had there been any way possible
the individual timber holders of Clear
water county should have been reduced
| from 33 to so per cent-that is, if
the Nease cruise is any criterion.
| Next week we will continue this
discussion, giving another list Of in
dividual timber holders, because the
Republican wants to drive the facts
home, and nothing will do it like the
official records of Clearwater county.

Vocation Selection.

Vocation teaching, with a selection
of students for different classes of
work by so-called scientific methods,
seems to be still in a very rudimental
stage. Prof. Herman Schneider has
had notably successful experience
with the cooperative courses of the
University of Cincinnati, but con
cludes that the plan of choosing the
lifework for individuals by their phys
zeal ~peculiarities. is not reliable. II
has been held that such characteristics
as the shape of the fingers o of the
head disclose special aptitudes or
abilities. This is a development of
the old phrenology. and might indicate
that a certain money-making executive
will have appropriately shaped head
and hands, but successful executives
chosen at random showed no such pc
culiarities. The claim of some pro
fessors of psychology that certain
mental qualities-memory, attention
and so on-gave fitness for certain
work has proved equally misleading
The old method of testing ability by
trying varied lines of work seems to
be the only dependable one, and in the
several years of a college course may
serve Is a very good guide.

Serving Dinner.

With the help of this suggestion
women who do their own work and
have a good deal of company can ar
range things so that with the aid of
their tea wagons they can serve four
course dinners without getting up
from the table or leaving the room.
The cold dessert has presented many
a problem. as well as the hot main
course. One way to keep things hot
after they are ready fer the table is
to put the serving dishes into a home
made "ireless" fixed up for the pur-
pose. Line a large candy box with
asbestos and paint it white. Tightly
covered, things keep hot in it for ff-
teen or twenty minutes. giving time to
get the first course out of the way.
When you do not need this box to
keep the main cours hot, use it to
keep the dessert cold. 1t delays the
melting of ice cream, for instance.
