A state law requires city commission

agent in the country The making up
of a ticket to the California exposi-

agents have already realized, for
various points must be included for
some purchasers that others do not
care for. and as a result there is no
universal ticket. the routing depending
in large measure upon the wishes OF
the prospective passenger
The routing device referred to is in
the form of circular chart with sew
eraI discs on which appear the several
route-45 in all-and these several
ToItings may be ascertained by the
ticket agent in few seconds These
routes include the various points or
interest both TO and from the expoSi-
tons. Fifteen routes are shown on
the 81. Louis disc, fifteen on the Chi
disc. that the passenger out of any
of those points has almost any combf-
nation of routes to choose from Tick
ct men who have seen the chart pro-
nounce it one of the most convenient
ever devised. and certainly one which
will be appreciated by all ticket

soil and climate ideal for the pro-
duction of immense crops, but what is
the grower to do after the crop has
been produced? sWe have a great
dairy country back on the uplands,
where pasture is cheap and grass does
fine, but ten pounds of butter gluts
the market. What we, like all new
counties need is the development of
local industries that employ labor,
atfording a local demand that will
consume, at home, the products of the
producer. Here in Clearwater county
we have great timber resouces that
will, when development starts, give
us this market, and our farmers will
then need hustle to supply. local de-
mand for food products.
We have here at Orofino, one of the
largest and finest cement deposits in
the world and 500, 600 has been ex-
pended towards transforming this raw
product into commercial necessity
that will give Orofino local payroll
u LUU Ilcn.
We have today, standing idle for
want of a little capital, one of the
best lime propositions in the United
States.
The development of these industries
would give US the market, and we
would need spend neither time nor
money advertising the fact that Clear
water county needs farmers. People
would pour into our county and real
estate would be grabbed and settled
on by families Of which the world has
| plenty.
But are we going to attract capital
by denouncing every man Of wealth
and every big concern? Are we
going to get our resources developed
if we are to advocate and practice dis
elimination and confiscation in the
levying of taxes? Are we to expect
outside capital to seek this county if
local paper can hammer it early and
late unless it buys immunity from
blackmail and persecution?
Some of the worst offenders are
those whose prosperity depends most
on the opening up of our resources
men who need work and farmers who
need markets. Isn't it time to talk
square deal? Isn't it time to extend
a welcome to capital and thereby helE
ourselves? Without capital our re-
sources will remain idle and Orofinc
and Clearwater county will remain s
little backwoods neighborhood of M
consequence.
Let the people wake up and exercise
little common sense.

A FINE BIRD.

The Oronfio Tribune never loses an
opportunity to slur John X. Becker
and vet it was this young attorney,
John Becker, who had the ability and
foresight to steer the Village of Oro-
fino clear of the rocks and put it on a
sound financial footing during period
when the Orofino Tribune and its gang
of pie counter patriots were running
Clearwater county in debt to the tune
of one-eighth of a million dollars.
Mr.. Becker has never been guilty of
being party to any questlonal deal
against the citizens of this county; he
has been upright, honorable and fair
in politics, and there is no occasion
for the Tribune going out of its way
at this time with it's insulting slurs.
AS for ourselves we do not care what
I.R Grow says We are probably
guilty of whatever the Tribune char
ges, but let us tell you one thing,
Mr.. Grow: P. l.. circuit isn't the
petty, cringing tool of Jim or Pat
Blake, or doing the dirty, petty work
of gang. We have not been guilty
of knocking the cement company OF
any other home industry. We have
never knowingly lied to the pubic as
the Tribune did in the matter OF
county indebtedness. We have not
been guilty of wrecking the county
fair; we have not knocked Weippe anc
tried to discourage the building of q
railroad into that country. Ano
lastly, Mr.. Grow, the editor of the
Clearwater Republican has not beer
guilty of grating the county OF
public printing.
And, by the way, Mr.. Grow, were
you not short in your accounts as pro
bate Judge? Have you made goot
that shortage? And are you not
rather dirty sewer rat to be CRITICS
ing others?

The Orotino Tribune wants property
assessed at its full cash value. Very
we'll. Assessor Hinckley might start
the ball rolling on the Home Land
Company, which is Pat and Jim Blake.
They sold Clearwater county half
an acre for court house site for 81, =
750 This is So, 800 per acre. Pat
assessed some of this tract at the enor-
nous sum of 200 per acre, and MIR.
Hinckley is assessing it at less than
one-fourth its value, according to the
demands of Blake's organ.

PLAYING THE PEOPLE FOR A
BUNCH OF SUCKERS.

Here is something the Orofino Fri
bune and the old gang don't tell the
people because it shows the viciousness
and incincerity and sham OF the
methods followed by the gang in its
assessment of Clearwater county. To
make campaign issue, with which
to fool the people, timber taxes were
pushed tout of sight" by ex-Assessor
p. II. Blake in 1914 That was sop
for local campaign consumption only.
And Blair Hoar, speeler for the gang,
kept the billboard ''redhot' with
flaming posters showing how the gang
was standing by the people and
making the timber companies come
through. Just year ago this same
Blair Hoar, county treasurer and tax
collector, sent to Boise at county ex-
pense to represent the taxpayes of the
county, admitted the rawness of AS
SCISSOR Blake's work and exposed the
rotten deal imposed on the home folks
by agreeing to fiat reduction of rs
per cent. in the assessed valuation OF
Clearwater county timber. Returning
home Mr.. Hoar, spokesman and ed
itorial writer for the gang, began to
howl about how the republican officials
had favored timber companies. The
Orofino Tribune was party to the
howl, and the state board of equali
cation, republican, was scored. Then
came the information from Boise that
Blair Hoar, representing Clearwater
county, was party to the cut of rs
per cent. in Pat Blake's assessment
of Clearwater county timber. 1t is
referred to that the hypocracy and
sham of the Orofino Tribune's alleged
love for the people, and its political
incincerity may not be taken toe
seriously at this time. The gang
have always played the game on the
theory that the people are set OF
political suckers. The Orofino
Tribune is still trying to play the old
game.
The taxpayers footed the bill foi
expenses of the Clearwater delegation
to Boise, and $500 for the services OF
Attorney Hodge, who was taker
along to protect the interests of the
people. And Pat Blake's timber as
sessment, with Blair's consent, wa,

1t is useless to try to increase our

people now living in Clearwater

where is the market? We can pro-

can the products be sold? Our cherries
are glorious, and all of that, and our
