Az we understnd it, the object of
creating Pine county is to provide,
Immediately, first ass puclic roads
in the forest sections, where the oc-
caisonal homesteader or trapper, may
get in and out with an automobile,
and there is no doubt about such q
promise being carried out. Pine coun-
ty will begin at the border up in
Montana and build standard trunk
highway towards Elk River; it will
provide good road for everybody,
and run the county on less taxes than
at present. All we have to do is TO
keep on dividing the counties if we
would have everything everybody
wants, and no taxes at all when we
get the counties divided enough. The
smaller the counties the less it costs
to run them, " understand.

PINE COUNTY.

Troy News: A map showing the
outline of proposed Pine county which
would be created from parts of Latah,
Shoshone and Clearwater is in our
possession. A meeting was held in
Potlatch last Friday to discuss the
move, but as there are SO few in fav-
or of the division it will no doubt
fall fiat. Should the proposal be-
come reality Latah county would be
more than split in two as about eigh-
teen townships, including all the
towns on the w. l. & M, Park, and
other smaller places, would 60 with
the hide, leaving approximately thir-
teen townships in Latah county. The
closest point on the southern boundary
of Pine county would miss Troy only
four miles to the north, coming down
in stairsteps until Kendrick would be
missed about nine miles. A News
representative talked with several
from the upper country, but they all
disapproved the creation of the new
county, if Latah is to be chopped up.
They argue that there is no need Of
Latah county being divided and that
taxes are high enough already.

WANTED-A picture of that "guy"
Governor Nose Alexander threw out
of the basement of the state house
1.-THE first thing" Nose did after
taking his oath Of office. You who
heard the governors campaign bunk
will remember his doleful wall be-
cause Of the way the republicans were
skinning the dear people, and how
Moze was going to lead us out Of the
political wilderness. He was going
to begin in the has sment, " under
stand, and clean 'em out. He evil
IDENTIFY got his wires crossed, and for
instead of reducing expenses it has
cost more to run the governors Office
for Nose than it did with Haines.
Why not get the guy" in the base
mept to throw the governor out?

The Elk River Sentinel is etc nally
lambasting Orofno, charging the
people here with being set of graft
ers, robbing the Elk River section to
improve this section. If such an at
tack is justified by facts, who is to
blame? Elk R yer, until the first Of
this year, has had one member on the
board, and we are quite certain E. O.
Torgerson invariably voted for all the
expenditures the Sentinel brands as
graft. In other words Elk River
helped to do it, and it was Orofino,
and not Elk River, that first protest
ed, and started the fight to stop this
sort of business. We are sure the
Sentinel can name no specific in
stances or items justifying its present
howl. And more than this we know
of no graft in the history of Clear
water county more fragrant than that
imposed by the Sentinel whenever il
has had an opportunity to do a job OF
county printing.

TOO MUCH SPEED.

Orofino has no speed ordinance, and
how fast car runs, and how much of
a menace it becomes to the public, is
| up to the auto owners OF Orofino.
Abuse of the privilege will result in
creating sentiment that will demand
and get regulations that will compel
respect for the life of pedestrians.
No accident has yet occurred, FORUM
ately, but the way some cars are
hurled round the corner at the Bank
Of Orofino will sooner or later end
disastriouly. People have rights,
even though they walk. The courts
have held that pedestrians have rights
that autos must respect, and that
people shall not be endangered by
reckless driving of cars. In spite of
every precaution children cannot be
kept off the streets always, and it is
the thought of what may happen to
some little child some time that war
rants this appeal to the auto owners
to take steps to curb the tendency to
speed in town.
The Republican would remind auto
owners of the existence Of state law
which provides that an auto shall OBJ
serve rigid precaution at turns in high
ways, and that this law is ignored.
Some drivers forget they have horn.
And eventually there will be an ac-
cident and perhaps the loss Of life
because of the failure of auto owners
to be reasonably decent. AS matter
of common justice the speed maniac,
/ for it amounts to nothing less, is q
public menace, more dangerous than
the fool who rocks the boat or points
the empty gun at others, and sane
auto owners, who would enjoy the
fewest possible restrictions, should
see that the law is enforced, and that
those who abuse the privileges of the
road are promptly regulated.
Violation of reasonable speed laws
should always carry forfeit of the
right to touch the steering wheel.
This is said in the most kindly
spirit, and at the suggestion of citizens
who have asked that this matter be
emphasized.
AS one precaution NEVER HUG A
CORNER. Follow the city regu-
lation. In turning corner ALWAYS
90 out around the center of the street
or road. This gives the driver a
chance to see what is around the
corner, and time to avoid q collision.

Orofino is making a mistake in
laying another foot of wooden eide
walk. Use cement. It is the cheap
est in the end, and looks much better.
Cement walks should be cut in
sections, say every four feet, which
will prevent cracking when the ground
settles. The government, when it
lays cement, cuts sidewalk into
squares, each piece being independent
SO that it may be removed without
injury to the rest OF the walk. AS
the mixture begins to harden trowel
is inserted to the ground, practice
that will prove valuable here. The
government will furnish this inform
alton free, giving the proper mixture
and proportion of cement for all kinds
of work. After Uncle Sam erected
the federal building at Moscow,
laying lot of first class cement walk
the local contractors saw the value of
Uncle Sans ways and adopted them.
The result is lot of first class &C.
ment walk.

The development Of local industr

The development Of local industries,
giving employment to home people,
is by all odds the one important OBJ
ject towards which every community
should labor. Prosperity is founded
on payrolls. Without something for
people to do there can never be much
upon which to build thriving town.
Payroll are necessary. Orofino need
only to get busy to have immense pay
rolls. We have the resources to be
developed. We have lime and cement
and timber and water power, with
wonderful opportunities for livestock,
fruit and agriculture. For vegetables
and poultry, no section of the great
West offers anything better. There
is enough to afford employment for
hundreds of men, and enough business
for thriving city Of five thousand
when our development is anything
like normal. Let us devote our
energy to the development Of what we
have. Get on the band wagon and
boost Orofino and Clearwater county.

But policeman approached us re-
spectfully and asked II he might not

were awfully glad to see each other,

American, and kissing Freddie Welsh,

fell forward into Ritchie's arms And
Richie pounded his opponent on the
ear relentlessly, and punched the back
of his head. The referee lodged about
in shiny silk shirt, slapped their hands
from the clasp, and pulled them apart.
Ritchie's hands and shoulders and ell
bows worked with incredible rapidity,
reigning ten blows where there seemed
not space for more than one, ending
a clinch with final vicious blow, and
then springing after with full open
