A Second Hand Auto
Cause OF Endless Grief

Talk about trouble over an automo-
bile! 'There aint no such animal. "
At least people who only know the
auto by little peculiarities like
punctured tires, leaky valves, bum
spark plugs, and obstreperous car
borators, have enjoyed one continual
round of pleasure in comparison to
the trouble that has been caused by
one second hand Buick that was lead
into Orofno the latter part of last
week by Sheriff Sullivan and his
deputy, Earnest Jewell. And thereby
hangs tail of woe yard long.
Probably, were we to seek for the
cause of the trouble, we might go
back few years, two, we believe,
and cuss the government for permit
ting one Manuel Ilario, Portuguese,
to land on American soil. But
Manual landed, and eventually be-
came citizen of Clearwater county,
and chopped wood for Pete Hanson.
And as prosperity began to burden
Manuel he took on American methods
of hitting the high places, and got
the automobile fever, and with it the
accompanying desire to take ona cal
and debt. Manual had $400. Hi
lacked 500, and he borrowed from
Hanson and put up half interest as
security. But let details go. Manua
got into trouble with Hanson anC
tried to dissolve partnership. H,
became reckless and hired an ALLEGED
lawyer named Fitzgerald, or words tt
that effect. Then Manual sold al

A recent dispatch from Boise says:
Announcement has been made by
the Idaho state land commissioner
that in short time, for the state, he
will dispose of $45, 900 worth of tim
ber near Orofino, in Clearwater
county. Decision to sell is said to
have been made at the request of
George R. Scofeld, representing big
timber interests in the northern part
of the state.
According to the announcement
whoever purchases the timber is to
start work on it within three years
and the timber is to be cleared within
IL years, no timber to be cut that is
less than IL inches in diameter. The
timber covers sections and and all
of section 6 except the southeast
quarter of the southeast quarter and
the south half of the south half in
township 35, range east.
This timber lies four miles north
east of Weippe, and the move looks
like there was some color to the
rumor that the Scofield interests were
planning the erection of mill al
Weippe. If this is the plan it means
there must be either railroad tc
Orofino or tramway or Caterpillel

While the Clearwater river is said
by the government to be navigable,
there has never been a vessel to make
the trip because the stream is too
treacherous. Besides there is a
bridge within twelve miles Of Lewis
ton, which would prevent the passage
of any vessel of any considerable size.
1t is said that by the passage of
this bill, timber touched by fire,
which otherwise will be destroyed by
a disease known as blue rot, may be
cut and saved. When the timber is
placed in the water it will keep fol
years, it is claimed.
Rafting of post timber, now car
ried on to some extent, will be inter
ferred with, but it was asserted that
since it would not be stopped entire
ly, the advantages of the bill were
greater than the disadvantages.

his trouble to Roy Leeper, and Leeper
and the legal advisor proceeded to ac-
quire trouble and enough Of the car to
consume gasoline and break the speed
limit. But somehow Fitz couldn't
fix up bond that would pass, and
Sheriff Sullivan refused to bring in
the car from Hanson's farm till the
county attorney advised that the bond
was according to law.
Mr.. Leeper is reported to have de-
cided that Sheriff Sullivan needed
little personal attention, and Friday
evening the ex. sheriff proceeded to
tell the sheriff, who put the EEK" in
Leeper, all about running the office.
And according to the last quotation
on the New York exchange, it has
cost the ex-sheriff about $l2.30 cents
a minute for the time he spent en-
tightening Sheriff Sullivan in regard
to the business.
1t was charged that Mr.. Leeper in
suited the officer, cursing him and
tried to get him to engage in dis
graceful street fight, and was arrest
ed Monday on a charge of disorderly
conduct, on warrant sworn out by
the sheriff. The case was heard
yesterday before jury, and verdict
quickly returned finding Mr.. Leeper
guilty as charged. Probate Judge
Todd assessed $50 fine and trim
mings, and it is reported that Leeper
will carry the case to the District
Court.

Iowa Abatement Law For Idaho.

BY vote of 27 to the senate
passed house bill No. 131, by johnson
of Bingham and Shattuck of Bonne-
Vile, which is known as the Iowa
abatement law. This measure is the
last word on the practice of prostitu-
tion, and is sufficiently stringent to
make it practically impossible for
houses of prostitution to run anywhere
in the state. This law makes it
dangerous for any owner to rent
property for immoral purposes, and
property may be condemned and con-
fiscated. The bill says:
"a building or place in which 9
house of ill.fame is conducted Oh
kept, and the furniture and movable
contents thereof, are mora
nuisance, etc.

some thirty couples of jolly merry

baskets, enjoyed a sleighing party,
going to the home of Miss Rose

New, Telephone Directory

The new telephone directories will
be ready for distribution the coming
week. Mr.. Snyder makes it his busi-
ness to lopk after the convenience of
his patrons and says he will issue
new directories hereafter oftener than
once year, in order that the direc-
troy may be kept strictly up to date.
Mr.. Snyder urges the public to OBJ
serve one rule of Importance to the
people. Don't abuse the night ser
vice. Don't do it. For the convent
ence of the public the Orofino central
has night alarm to be used only for
emergency purposes. For instance to
call a doctor, or the sheriff, or in case
of other urgent need. The public
should appreciate this service, and
not abuse it. If those who use the
phone after ten or eleven or mid
night only realized that every cal
rings the night alarm in Orofno, anc
disturbs Mr.. Snyder, breaking
into his rest, and must be answered
to find out the nature of the call
there would certainly not be any
needless ringing of phones out o.
hours. Don't do it. 1t is an imposi
tion on the operators at Orofino.
Here is how some abuse this emer
gency phone service. Some younl
man takes young lady to a part,
out in the country, or even here i
Orofno. They get home about 2 i
the morning. After bidding the gir
good night the young man gets hom
an hour later, or something lik
that and Mary goes to the phone an
rings up to find if John gets home al
right. The call comes into central
even though tine parties are on tn
same party line and can ring eac
other, and it rings the emergenc
gong and compels central to get W

Beats Clearwater County

A recent dispatch from Blackfoot
says: This city is experiencing a
genuine sensation, for no less than 80
of its most prominent men-business
and otherwise been arrested
and placed under bonds on statutory
offenses-c contributing to the delin-
quency of minor child. Sixteen Of
the men are said to be married and
heads of families. A number of
them are said to have suddenly de-
parted for parts unknown and their
bonds will be forfeited.
The exposure is said to have been
made through the finding of a note
on public thoroughfare in which the
young girl and one of the defendants
made arrangements to meet. The
information was placed in the hands
of the police, the dragnet encircled
about the place Of meeting, the doors
batterd down and a number of citi-
zens found there, arrested.
The same advices are to the effect
that similar sensation developed in
relation to the proprietor of hotel
who was surprised in his own home
by his wife who he had short time
previous hidden goodbye, expecting
her to make an extended visit at q
nearby town. A rapid change Of
trains brought the indignant spouse
home, where she surprised her hus-
band and companion. They were
lined up against the wall under the
threatening muzzle of revolver anc
held there until the police arrived.

Street Commissioner Jake Bullock
is certainly entitled to great deal Of
credit for the efficient work on the
streets of Orofino. The work has been
we'll done, and we are sure there is
no room for just criticism. The
streets have been nicely crowned and
graded, and bitches provided for
drainage. Pools that have heretofore
been unable to get away, standing till
they slowly evaporated, can no longer
do so, for there is now ample provi-
sion for drainage of the streets.
The low, muddy places have been
filled with rock, top dressed with
gravel, and the people are pleased
over the changed appearance Of Oro-
fino. Now let us clean the alleys
and vacant lots.

had seen the coronation of King Edward,
and had week before we were to sail for

the Victoria Hotel, Hastings, as good
retreat, and described the parade and the
gardens and Battle Abbey and Alexandra
Park, and did not mention that wanted
to go because Coventry Patmore once
lived there, and that there also was to be
seen not only his home but his church,
Saint Mary, Star of the Sea. We went;
but three days sufficed to bore Alice and

back to that respectable refuge, Hotel
Curzon on Curzon street, for little more
shopping, while my aunt, who said that
nothing so exhausted her as seeing his

l drove over to Saint
Mary's, Star of the Sea,
the rather disappointing, tawdry little
Gothic church, and after kneeling there
for awhile repeated the words of the poet
who had built it:
In strenuous hope wrought
And hope seem'd still betrayed;
Lastly said,
Il have laboured through the night, nor yet
Have taken aught:
But at Thy word I will again cast forth
the net
Then, having seen the altar and tried
to feel the inspiration of kneeling where a
poet had knelt, made my way through
quaint and huddled roads to All Saints
street again and back to the marine pa
rade, gazing in at the tawdry shop WIN
dows as l went. In one, where mixture
of toys, neckwear, and brummagem jew
elry was displayed cluster of bright
bead necklaces made a splash of gay color
on the gray day. 1t was like tiny rain
bow, the strung beads, amber and coral
and sapphire colored, and among them
a necklace of cloudy, lustrous, black beads
lent kind of distinction and value to
the rest. "How they match my clothes
and my life!" thought, and going in out
of the wind and the sting of the sea spray
priced them.

woman back of the counter And I'll
be glad to sell them: nobody wants black
beads"
The clasp looked like reddish gold deli
cately chased. Really it is the best look
ing string of beads | ever saw l held
them against my lips to feel the quality,
and they were cooler than glass. In my
purse l had exactly halfcrown; SO l
let the necklace be clasped about my
throat and made my way along the Es-

THAT night | went down to dinner
alone again. wore decollet6 black
gown, the only dinner dress had, and
hesitatingly clasped my bead necklace on.
It was full seven beads too long to fit the
throat, and would have been more be-
