Trip Up North Fork Is Interesting

Fifty-five miles back in the interior
of Clearwater county, up the North
Fork of the Clearwater river, in the
shadow of the snow-capped peaks
where mountain goats and other wild
animals roam unmolesteo the editor
of the Clearwater Republican was
surprised to find the homesteaders a.
long the river growing and maturing
fine tomatoes, the quality of which is
excellent. Five miles above the
mouth of the Little North Fork at
the John Larson ranch we were given
ripe tomatoes and told they were
grown farther up the river. We saw
several good gardens, and were told
1--WE can grow anything up here along
this river Apparently this is so
because large, thrifty cherry trees,
some five or six. apparently enjoying
the best of health, stand near the old
cabins at the mouth of the Little
North Fork, and up this stream some
five miles at the Lew Bolles place one
may see thrifty fruit trees, a number
now hanging full of lucious plums.
Here are also several rank evergreen
blackberry bushes, loaded with fine
berries, and it is evident the only
thing required is to plant and care for
these things. The soil and the eli
mate are all right. Grass does fine
on the clearings along the river, but
even at that little effort is made to
farm. The settlers along the river,
what few have not disposed of their

Spokane Merchants Excursion

The Northern Pacific special, in
charge of General Agent C. r. Lon-
ergan Of Spokane, carrying the dele
cation of Spokane business men on

viii Extend North Fork Trall

The North Fork Of the Clearwater
trail will soon be completed to Isabel
creek, where Uncle Sam owns i'm
mense timber resources. It was on
this creek that serious fire ragged
this summer, and to get in supplies
the government opened the trail for
some miles. The trail is not yet
completed. In order to patrol the
Clearwater National forest the gov
ernment must extend the North Fork
trail up the river till it 'intersects the
other trials leading across the for
ests to Montana.

holdings to the timber companies, are
engaged principally in rafting cedar
down the river to Ahsahka or Lew
iston, where it finds ready market
for fence posts.
John Larson and Frank Larkins,
both owning good places five miles
from the mouth of the Little North
Fork up the main river, have two of
the best improved places we saw.
Their cabins are large, we'll made,
and it would surprise one to see how
comfortable these bachelors" are,
and how many pieces of furniture
they have made from cedar. The set
tiers use cedar for everything. Win
dows, castings. doors, chairs and tables,
with cupboards and other needed
we'll made articles, are in evidence.
There is now a good wagon road
from Orofino as far as the Slocum
place, fifteen miles from Orofino,
where a good trail affords easy access
to up-river points and over which
supplies are packed, a good horse
handling 200 pounds. Some idea of
the cost of food along the North Fork
above Big Island section may be
gained from the fact that it costs
three to four cents a pound to get sup
plies from Orofino. And it would
surprise one to know how many tons
Of supplies are annually packed over
this trail, distance of fifty or more
miles.

property in said county, as shown by
the assessment roll of the preceding
year Of said county, to be paid to the
trustees or managers of such associa-
tion, to assist in defraying the expen-
ses Of such fair; Provided, none of
the moneys 80 appropriated shall be
used in defraying the expenses of
races of any character, nor for the
payment of purses for said races.
But no appropriation can be made in
any year in which fair is not held,
nor can any appropriation be made to
more than one such corporation in
any one year. Appropriations made
under this section shall be paid out
of the current expense fund.
Some ten or twelve years ago Judge
Steele decided in a case of the board
of commissioners of Nez Perce
county, with reference to an appropri-
alton made to the lewiston C Charleston
fair, that such an appropriation could
not be made, and the court can see no
reason for reversing its former de-
cision. Concluding Judge Steele urg-
es that the matter be Immediately
submitted to the supreme court for
final determination. The decision is
important in that it effects the local
appropriation of $500 for the county
fair, and all such appropriations.
Shuld the supreme court sustain Judge
Steele it will mean that all such ap-
preparations in the past were illegal,
and county officials personally respon-
sible for any moneys appropriated.
The decision Of Judge Steele will
not interfere with the Clearwater
county fair, although it will, if the
supreme court sustains the decision,
mean the loss of the $500 appropriated
by the county. This $500 would have
cleared up all debts, but regardless
of this appropriation all premiums
will be promtly paid.

County Can't Donate

1t is, according to a decision of
District Judge Steele. unconstitution-
al for county commissioners to appro-
pirate for county fairs, stock shows or
any kind of exhibitions. The case
came up from Nez Perce county over
the appropriation, after the county
had been canvassed and majority of
the people had approved the move. of
$500 for the Lewiston Livestock
Show. Action was started to test the
right of the board to appropriate
county funds, and Judge Steele this
week rendered his decision, declaring
the state constitution forbids such ac-
tion by county: boards.
The constitution reads: "No coun-
ty, town, city or other municipal cor
poration, by vote of its citizens, or
otherwise, shall ever become stock
holder in any joint stock company,
corporation or association whatsoever,
or rise money for, or make donations,
or loan the credit to, or in aid of any
such company or association; Pro-
vided, that cities and towns may con-
tract Indebtedness for school, water,
sanitary and Illuminating purposes; !;
Provided, that any city or town con-
tracing such Indebtedness shall own
its just proportion of the property thus
created and receive from any income
arising therefrom its proportion to the
whole SO invested"
In 1887, three years before the state
constitution was adopted, the legis-
lature Of Idaho enacted section 3O4O,
which reads: ''The board of county
commissioners of any county in this
state in which there is q regularly
organized fair association, or any 9th
er corporation or company having for
its sole object the exhibition of live
stock and agricultural products Of
their county. or the state, may, in
their discretion, appropriate annually

New Haven Trial.

New York. Nov. 17.-New light on
Charles S. Mellen's famous interview
with President Roosevelt over the
question as to whether the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad
company should sell it's steamship
lines to Charles w. Morse, was
switched on by the government attor-
neys Tuesday at the trial of the eleven
former directors of the road on the
charge of criminal violation of the
Sherman law. The government in
troduced letter written by Mellen to
William Loeb, Jr., the presidents sec
rotary, by which it appeared there
was subsequent misunderstanding
between the railroad president and
Mr.. Roosevelt over what had been
said at the interview. According to
Mellen's testimony the president told
him he would give the New Haven no
immunity if it violated the law, but
he promised there would be no ac-
ton taken against the road during
his administration If it should retain
it's steamship lines
The government maintains that the
New Haven not only retained the
lines, but proceeded to acquire others
to strengthen its alleged monopoly.
