VOL A
Mississippi Progressive League
Organized

Meridian has organized for the
purpose Of making a statewide
campaign to secure the passage
of certain bills through the in
coming legislature some good,
some not so good, and, if we
are to judge from the speeches
made at the organization known
of the Mississippi Progressive
League, some are bad.
Resolutions adopted deplore
the litigations brought against
the Southern Ry. Co., the bust
ness conditions which forced the
Southern and M. & o. to take off
certain trains, and requested that
these trains be replaced; con-
dennis the action of the revenue
agent in bringing certain back
tax suits; asks that the corpora
tions be taxed on the basis of
individuals and given the same
business standing; asks that the
revenue agent be deprived of the
present fees; thanks the
acknowledgements elects
for their public utterances
of their intention to rectify con-
EDITIONS affecting capital, and
wants the boards of supervisors
to have power to pay for cattle
condemned because of disease.
Several other resolutions were
before the committee for consid-
Grafton and many suggestions
were made relative to needed
laws. Among these latter was
the corporation land law. We
do not believe that this law
should be repealed. 1t is the
individual and not associations
which should be the hometown
ers. Much as our state needs
!. development, we cannot be
brought to this view that we need
cooperative farmers. In our
opinion, too much land is already
held by corporations.

Idaho" Harvester Gets Boost.

Grangeville Globe: T. C. Irwin,
one Of our prosperous pioneer farmers,
was in the city last Saturday from his
home out near the Point and stated
that they were just finishing up their
haying and that during the week his
sons had cut 40 acres of wheat for Ted
Long giving their Little Idaho"
harvester the first tryout for the sea-
son with very satisfactory result.
Mr.. Irwin says that they could not
get along now without this wonderful
labor saving machine. This year the
company has attached gasoline en-
gine to furnish power for the threshing
end of the game and as a result less
horses are required to propel the ma
chine. BY using this engine it can
be readily seen that better threshing
will result.

Crofno citizens, which includes
men, women and "kids," are en-
joy:ng the fun of swimming to an ex-
tent never before indulged in this
locality. Reports from Lewiston in
dicate even greater interest in the
sport by Lewiston and Charleston
people. About 1000 are reported to
have participated in the water carni-
val pulled off Sunday. At Orofino
many Of all sexes are indulging, the
kids" taking to the cool pools along
the Clearwater like ducks. And the
sport is fine. II has the redeeming
feature of being at least democratic.
Clothes don't count. High and low,
long and short, fat and lean, rich and
poor, all look alike in the water, and
the joy Of plunge after hot day re-
news ones vitality and makes life
worth living. Where the sport is not
carried to excess there is no finer ex-
ercise than swimming, and as an ap-
petizer has the world knocked into a
cooked hat.

Why Not Build That Ditch,

There was some agitation last
spring for an irrigation ditch that
would carry enough water from Oro-
fino creek to afford ample for irriga-
tion during the long, dry season. such
as we are now suffering. 1t is pain
fully evident that without irrigation
Orofino can never hope to have any,
thing better than dry, parched and
unsightly summer lawns. Trees and
shrubbery and gardens are drying up
and starving while an abundance of
needed water is flowing through town,
and could be supplied from ditch
system would be so little that it
should meet with no opposition.

"Nease Cruise Pays

Jas. Caldwell owns 100 acres of
timber land east of Weippe. The
taxes on this quarter for 1911 were
$24; 1912 they jumped to $40; 1914
they were $45. 40. In 1914 the valua-
tion was $500; in 1915, assessed on
the Nease cruise, this valuation is
only $500. The Nease cruise shows no
timber, and Assessor Hinckley, rely
ing on this $65, 900 cruise, was helpless
to protect the interests of the county.
For the assessor could verify the
Nease cruise only by recruise of the
Nease cruise, which would cost, if
the Nease cruise was fair PROPOSE
tion, the small sum of $65, 900. And
relying on the Nease cruise, endorsed
by the Orofino Tribune, the CALDWELL
quarter shrunk in valuation this year
from $3.50 to $500. And Mr.. Glad
we'll is authority for the statement
that he has had his land cruised and
that the quarter has TWO AND A
HALF MILLION FEET OF MER-
CHANTABLE TIMBER. How much
more of this kind of work did Nease
do, and is Assessor Hinckley respon-
sible? Perhaps the Oronfio Tribune
can tell.

his coffee his chair was occupied bv

There is considerable sentiment
among Orofino business men in favor
of paving the main business street.
Being progressive and desiring to
keep their town in the front rank they
are doing little figuring, and it

work start next year. A paved street
with cement walks would put the town
on the map in a most desirable way.

Selling Timber Estimates.

oCusuS lINDtT EStlmdtcS.
Wasn't it Pat Blake who said ::
''The Nease cruise pays?" And the
Clearwater Republican inquired who
it paid. And Pat and Jim decided
they were damaged about $50, 900 and
are now suing the Republican editor
for this "pin money" as salve for
their lacerated feelings. And here
endeth chapter one.
Back in Chicago lives a man named
Charles E. Coleman, who owns tim
Der claim in Clearwater county. Mr..
Coleman is one of many nonresident
owners Of timber and here endeth
chapter two.
During 1914 Clearwater county was
cruised by one Nease at an expense Of
$65. 900 to the people, and the county
assessor must furnish FREE to any
property owner copy of the Negse
cruise or, to be plain, the county fur
nishes FREE estimates of timber
claims. This will help explain the
following letter. Under date of Aug
ust 10, 1915, Mr.. Coleman writes from
Chicago to citizen of Orofnd, as
follows:
Dear Sir:-I wrote you undeI the
date of July 18th, but for some reAson
l have not received a reply. %m
to-day in receipt of letter from Nh.
C. H. Kyle, Orofino, Idaho, dated
August 7th. 1915, reading as follows: !:
1T is my understanding that you
are the owrer of timber land in
Clearwater Co., Idaho. am in
position to furnish you with an alb
solutely reliable estimate on any
holdings that you may have in this
county, and will furnish you
with same for five dollars. l will
give you references as to the re-
liability of this estimate if you
care to have them.
'This information will enable
you to put correct valuation on
your holdings as it gives the num-
ber of feet of each kind of timber,
the number of. acres burned, if any,
the cedar poles and ties and de-
scription Of the land.
In answering this letter please
send me the location of your hold
ings, also the name of your bank
and will send the estimate to
them for collection and delivery.
Believing that you will take ad-
vantage of this opportunity, I re-
MAN, C. H. KYTE..
Would you advise that pay this
party SIS for the information that he
may have? l await your reply in the
enclosed stamped envelope.
Yours very truly,
CHAS. E. COLEMAN.
Mr.. -- turned the stamped en-
velope over to County Assessor
Hinckley who forwarded the reliable
estimate" FREE.
Any person can get this information
FREE by writing to the county as
SCISSOR, Orofino, Idaho, Clearwater
county, and it is without doubt the
! identical estimate that the Fidelity
Bank is trying to sell, through their
clerk, Mr.. Kyle. Let us not forget
that the cashier of the Fidelity Bank,
Patrick Blake, assured the people that
the Nease cruise of Clearwater county
timber was going to ''pay." The
Coleman letter would tend to show
that the cashier of the Fidelity Bank
of Orofino knew what he was talking
about.
