Easter was well observed in the local

beautiful, which were distributed to the

High Taxes Get A Jolt.

The Idaho supreme court has de-
cided that the maximum levy which a
school district may make against prop
erty in a district is five mills. In
Minidoka county some districts levied
Is mills and the Oregon Short Line
railroad company brought suit to pre-
vent the county from collecting. This
decision will hit many of the Clear
water county school districts, Orofino
having levied ten. Some have l3 mill
levies, we understand. but have not
been able to verify this. This is the
kind of Legislation that will reduce
taxtion. Idaho needs more of it.
The trouble is that we are hitting the
high places in our expenditures, and
have built up system of county, road
and school, also state and national
governments, that have grown top
heavy and burdensome If taxes are
! to come down where the people can
bear them the people must understand
that they must expect less at the
hands of government. Taxes will
be high if the people spend vast sums
of money for roads, schools, etc.
Think it over. We must at least cut
out the graft. We must get dollar {
worth for dollar. Consider this anC
then see how the people howl wher
the county board makes an homes,
effort to live up to this. For in.
stance, when they tried to get results
for road money. Every. farmer knows
he would not pay county wages for the
service the county usually gets, Bu
what howl when the commissioner,
demand dollars worth for dollar
And then we howl when taxes arr
high.

OroiinO Wants Creamers.

The social session of the CONNER
cial Club Monday night was we'll
attended, and aside from good
time, afforded an opportunity for the
business men to discuss a number of
matters of interest to the community.
A creamery at Orofno was proposed
and discussed, and the fact brought
out that there was a sentiment for it.
B. H. Powell of the section between
Orofino and Peck stated the case from
the farmers side. saying a creamery
was needed. He did not like to be
compelled to patronize Spokane con-
Germs. 1t was said that only cooper
ative creameries have succeeded in
other states, and that we should be
guided by the experience of older COM
munities. A. E. Holmberg said he
was ready to assist in establishing a
creamery in Orofino. The sentiment
seemed to be united for this industry.
Another matter discussed was 9

Orofino. This created considerable

Minstrel Show Coming.

Next Friday night, December 8,
the Orofino Band will give their first
entertainment in the form of a real
old fashioned black faced minstrel
show with 50 people. The vocal
chorus will have 20 voices, and there
will be six funny comedians. There
will be dancers, instrumental selec-
tions, local hits in jokes that will
take down the house, latest popular
songs, etc. Then there will be ar
eight-piece orchestra. The afterpiect
will afford great fun. This is entitled
I'm Dixie Land"
The show will be equal to any 5.

are in sight, go to the band. See tha

A Tame Deer

A large doe walked into the yard at
the T. J. LaForest place just above
Orofino Wednesday, and after sizing
up the place walked leisurely away
towards town. This animal was prob
ably thanking Mr.. LaForest for the
labor he put forth in the last legisla-
ture in behalf of a game law that
would protect the deer. Governor
Alexander vetoed the measure. 1t
took the game department out of
politics and Nose wouldn't stand for
it.

discussion, especially that phase
covering the cost. How to pay for it
was the puzzle. Several excellent
suggestions were made, and it is en-
tirely probable the building, 6Ox1OO,
can be erected this winter, even if it
is not quite finished this year.
Something like $1,000 will b.. re-
quired. The school board said they
had $500 available, and wanted to
know what the citizens of Orofino
thought about gym. Nobody OBJ
jected if there wasssany way to finance
it. Deputy Sheriff Jewell hit the nail
on the head when he suggested the
employing of carpenter to frame the
structure and then have a house
raising, when the men of the town
could turn out and raise the frame in
day or so. The high school boys
could do much of the interior finishing
during the winter. 1t is probable that
$500 more in money will be enough to
warrant the school board in going
ahead.

II PAYS to Advertise

Some two months ago there appeared
in this paper local advertising for a
lost 'Key" breastpin. The ad found
the finder who returned it to the
owner, a school teacher in the Abe
Hill district. Yesterday Mr.. Hill
gave Mrs. Orcutt dollar, the re-
ward, and asked her to have the Re-
publican editor give it to the man
who found the pin. Now we want
to find the man who found that pin.
Come get your dollar. And we would
like to have him hurry. It is an aw.
full nuisance to have dollor laying

Five thousand people are killed each
year in the United States because they
are trespassing on railroad property.
They use the railway tracks for short
cuts, for sidewalks, for highways, and
are killed. Many of these are school
children. During 1914 the Northern
Pacific killed only one passenger, and
this was the fault of the passenger,
who wanted to see what the rubber
hose at the rear of the train was for.
He opened the valve, causing the train
to break in two.' But the same
road killed l20 trespassers during
1914.

Here are some items of extraya-
gance the taxpayers of Clearwater
county are now paying for:
Nease Cruise $64, 900
Bridge plans $500
Hoar's illegal salary grab LAPS
Add to this hundreds of dollars
illegally taken from the public funds
to pay for trips of county commission
ers and other county officials; the loss
of several hundred dollars interest
county funds might have earned; $lOC
each for Oliver typewriters worth
about $54 each; hundreds of dollars
wasted on county printing; a little
more fooled away on road culvert
thousands and thousands wasted or
roads; $l,750 tiled up in court house
site sold the county by Jim and PA
Blake; ad infinitum.
Is there any wonder Clearwater
county woke up with a, warrant in
debtedness of an eighth of million
dollars?
And who is responsible for this?
One third of our taxes this yea
goes to pay for this kind Of business
The people are saddled with tn,
burden of paying it. Some who ar,
bowling the loudest encouraged it an,
voted for it. They deserve the dos
they are getting.

In discussing the tax situation be
fair. From the county valuation in
1914 deduct at least half million
dollars worth of timber destroyed by
fire. This property does not exist
today. No matter who is county
assessor the county cannot levy taxes
on what does not exist, or what dis
appears because of fire, flood, or other
calamity.
The man who does not yet know
that Clearwater county was in debt
more than $1O0, 600 when the present
county board took charge January II,

he? Now for the proof. Take the

Obituary.

Mary A. Oliver, wife Of Lee Oliver,
died January 6, of typhoid fever. at
their home in the Antioch neighbor-
hood, aged % years. She was the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. C. Stat
ford, who with her husband and little
son, Louis, and her four brothers, are
left to mourn her loss. She had such a
CHEEKY, lively disposition that she will
be sadly missed by all her associates.
She had been consistent member Of
the Methodist church for several years
and tho her life here was short, she goes
fiom this world of care and trouble to
be with her Saviour who has prepared
a home for all who are faithful, and
her loved ones have the hope Of being
reunited with her. May God comfort
them and help them to be faithful.
The funeral service was conducted by
Rev. Renshaw Of Oakland, the tody
was inferred in the Hood cemetery.

KEEP THIS WORK GONG.

We rejoice that the County of Fay
cite made another appropriation this
year as part pay for the county farm
demonstration agent for 1916.
We regret that the Madison County
Court refused to continue the appro-
priation. The Madison solOns made a
great blunder. They ought to re-
convene county court and provide for
the employment Of two demonstration
agents.
Every county in West Tennessee
should have paid farm demonstrators
Under the law, if county appropriates
certain sum the United States sup
plements it with another amount. In
Fayette County the Nashville, Chat
tanooga & st Louis Railway added to
the fund.
We urge that three demonstration
agents be continued from the experience
of Shelby County. Four years ago the
work began in Shelby. Farm conditions
in the county are being gradually rev.
olutionized.
The demonstration agents have shown
the people how to increase the yields Of
corn and cotton. They are row branch
ing out into diversified agriculture.
There is more green cover crops in
Shelby County this year than ever
known in the county's history.
The demonstration agents are show
ing how grain, grass, cattle and hogs
may be successfully grown. They
know how to improve It.
That farmer in any county In West
Tennessee who acquiesces In the stingi-
ness Of the county court in refusing to
provide for demonstration agent 10
working against his own business In
terests.
There IL enough land in West Ten
nessse, exclusive Of that devoted TO
cotton. to provide grasses for cattle.
pasture for hogs and small grain for
the use of men.
We have seen in one field in Shelby
County . third Of bale Of cotton
to an sere. In an adjoining field. with
out the use Of commercial ferti izers,
We have seen tbree-quarters Of 9 bale
grown to an acre. The increased yield
was done BY farming under direction Of
the demonstration agent. Commercial
Appeal.

A REVISED price list of cotton goods
from one of the biggest mail order
houses in the world CHANGED to fall into
the hands of The Falcon few days
ago. Here are some of the reductions
made in the REVISED list because Of
the low price of cotton: Item l reduc-
ed from "a cts. per yard to 20 cents; 2
from .08 to .07 1; 8 IL to-. 1854 .13 to
10; Ia to 10; and so on thru long
list of two pages. The cotton farmer
has his money crop cut more than one
half in the price he receives for it and
then the manufacturer reduces his price
so slightly that no greater reduction
than these can be made by the retailer.
II these prices prevail for cotton goods,
then the present cotton crop should
have brought above ten cents per pound
instead of little more than half that.
The mills have just taken advantage of
q crisis In European affairs to force the
cotton price down while they are maxi
ing enormous profits by present condi-
tons.
