These official figures verify ard
substantiate the estimates of county
Indebtedness made by John R. Becker
during the recent county campaign.
They verify the unofficial statements
made by County Auditor Kaufman.
They verify the statements repeat
edly made by the Clearwater Repub-
lican. They show conclusively who
was deceiving the people, and who
was reliable. These figures are a
complete vindication of the Clear
water Republican. They show the
hollow mockery and sham and miser-
able pretense of the court house gang
when the gang was branding the
Clearwater Republican as an ''unreli-
able" newspaper.
The Clearwater Republican was
never prompted by spirit of hatred
or vengeance or malice. The facts
stood out plainly and this paper stood
by its guns and fought good fight
for the things it believed was right.
How near we We're right, and how far
wrong were the gang that was fight
ing for its very life, may be judged
from the cold, hard facts shown by
the records. 1t verifies the statement
of Joe Kaufman at Greer the night
before the election, and vindicates
the stand taken by Attorney John R.
Becker, who furnished the Republican
with much of its campaign figures
relative to county Indebtedness. The
people can now judge as to whether
or not Mr.. Becker is reliable, honor
able and worthy of public confidence.

What Local Fire Department
Has Done For OrOfino

The Orofino Fire Department was
organized January %, 1911, with
membership of IA, and an equipment
consisting Of 500 feet of mill hose and
one hose cart. Today the department
has three companies, one . chemical
company, and the membership is
twenty-seven active men.
The equipment is as follows: One
double cylinder 70-gal. chemical en-
gine, 1000 feet standard fire hose, two
carts, with full equipment. The de-
partment is not, however, fully
equipped, there being immediate need
Of other equipment, such as helmets

fight close up to burning structure,

other equipment needed, and it is the
need of funds that induces the CON-
pany to give an annual ball that has
so far never failed to net neat sum.
Just remember the boys this year
when they solicit you to buy ticket
to the coming ball.
