COMPARES WASHINGTON
WITH ANCIENT ATHENS
Civic Beauties Shown With Stereop-
ticon Slides by DR.. Mitchell
Carroll.

Civic beauties of ancient Athens and
Rome were compared with those of
modern Washington by DR.. Mitchell
Carroll in an illustrated lecture in the
Sunday schoolroom of Calvary Baptist
Church last evening. The lecture was
given under the auspices of the Broth
erhood of the church, the occasion
being ladies night" Refreshments
were served by the Christian Endeavor
Society at the close of the meeting.
Officers of the brotherhood were
chosen last evening. They are: Presl-
dent. DR.. Mitchell Carroll: honorary
vice presidents, Justice Charles T..
Hughes and Joseph w. Folk: vice pref
dent, r. H. McNeill: recording secre-
tary, ]. c. Herring; corresponding sec
retary, Wade B. Hampton; treasurer,
w. w. Everett.
DR.. Carroll, who is secretary OF the
Archaeological Institute of America, and
has travelled considerably in Greece and
Italy, used a series of fine stereopticon
pictures, beautiful in subject-matter
and coloring He showed the Acropolis
at Athens restored to all its ancient
glory; the agora, or market place, "nere
Paul addressed the Athenians; the
great stadium, which seated 100000
people; the wonderful old temples, the
parks and Fairgrounds.
DR.. Carroll said about two-thirds OF
the city of Athens was devoted to pup
lie buildings and reservations, and that
about one-half of Washington is SINH
larly occupied.
In addition to views of most of the
public buildings of Washington, he
showed and explained some pictures
of the Lincoln memorial. now in proc
ess of construction, and the new pieces
of sculpture, by Paul Bartlett, now
nearing completion at the Capitol.

Having All They Can Use Them
selves, They Are Acting as
Selling Agents.

IF you have bought all the Christmas s
seals you can use yourself, buy a few
more and interest your friends in
them"
That Is what workers engaged in the
selling of Red Cross Christmas seals
are urging upon their many friends in
Washington. The plan was suggested
by some persons interested in the
movement to check tuberculosis and
who volunteered to aid in disposing of
them. Fiji
One physician who felt that he had
purchased all he could use sent word
to the sellers that if they would send
him 500 more he would make his
friends buy them.
Another similar instance was the
case OF young woman from Culpeper.
Va, who was shopping in Washington.
She said II those in charge would al
low her to take some home to sell she
would try to help the fund. The result
was that shortly the fund was enrich
ed SO by check from the young wom-
an, who had sold the 1000 stamps given
her. She asked for $40 worth more,
and few days ago sent back another
SO and request that third parcel
Of 1000 stickers be sent her.
The stamps are selling well this year.
Nearly every one seems desirous of
helping in the work of fighting the
giant white plague. The workers are
hoping that this may prove a record
breaking year for Washington.

Farmers Anxious To Exhibit
Regardless OF County Fair

Fair or no fair" said Ben
Dixon of Gilbert yesterday, 81 would
like to exhibit some of the splendid
products from my farm, and others
would probably like to do the same
thing" Mr.. Dixon said he was sure
the people would like to come to Oro-
fino for at least one day after harvest
and have some kind of pro. ram.
He was sure it could be made sue
cess with little outlay of money.
Why not corn and grain show, with
one or two days of field sports? Why
not offer some good prizes for the
best twenty ears of corn; for the best
sheaves of grain; for the best bushel
of potatoes; for the best pig; the best
colt; the best baby. And there could
be added any other features suggested
that would entertain the people, and
incidentally work for the improvement
of the county.

Mrs. John Swank Passes Away.

Mrs. John Swank, after an Hines
dating back several years passed away
Friday, July 16. The last few
months her suffering was intense, and
death came as sweet relief to the
afflicted wife and mother The remains
were laid to rest in the Orofino ceme-
terry, large procession paying their
last respects to the departed. Services
were held in the M. E. church, Elder
M. G. johnson conducting the service.
Mary E. Swank was born November
20, 1869. In 1891 she was united in
marriage to John Swank. To them
were born Clay. Clarence, Gem,
Helen, and Orland, all Of Orofino.
Her father, James Mcneil, and
brother, Yancy, both of Asotin, and q
sister, Mrs. Autrey, of Hansen s
Ferry, Wash, survive her. For a
time the family resided at Genesee,
Latah county where they are we'll and
favorably known, and the finest COM
pliment that can be paid Mrs. Swank
is that she is respected and esteem q
by her old neighbors. She was 6

situation for season that started
with such alarming prospects for big
forest conflagrations.
Mr.. Wiley reports good progress
with forest improvement. Twenty
miles of standard line telephone has
been constructed, and forty miles Of
emergency line built. There is now
telephone connection from Orofino to
Iron Mountain, Montana. This gives
wire communications clear across the
National forest from Orofno to Mon

and the organization completed for

That the end of time is lust upon
us was forcibly brought out by Pastor
Hilgert in sermon at the Gospel
Tent Thursday evening. The speaker
declared the signs of the nearness of
the coming of the Lord are so plain
that none will be excused for failure
to read them He stated that the ac-
emulation of wealth in the hands of
powerful trusts, the organization of
labor, the threatenings of revolution,
the preparations for war, the disasters
by land and sea, the scorching
droughts, the increase of drunkenness
and crime, the prevalence of graft and
the general unrest of the nations are
all mentioned in the Bible as signs of
the close of earth's history.
With great earnestness he pleaded
with his hearers repeating the inquiry
'Can ye not discern the signs of the
times?o
'lnfidels,' said he, "often mock
ingly tell us that the prophets of the
Bible guessed at the things they
uttered; but l submit to you that the
description given by holy men q
centuries ago could not have been
more accurate had they been given in
1915. If this be guessing, we have
none such guessers in our day.
The evangelist dwelt considerably
on commercialism, and how men are
centering their thoughts on the ac-
cumulation of wealth. ''You will
remember the Saviour said conditions
in the last days would be like those
of the days of Noah and Lot. Ir
those days the minds of men were
given over to commercialism and de-
bauchery. How is it today? In the
very face of the great temperance
wave that has swept the United States
in the last few years, the collector Of
internal revenue reported gain Of
more than SIS, 600, 900 in 1912 over an,
previous year. In the days that were
before the flood they planted ant
builded, bought and sold. As JUS
stated, it was an age of commercial
ism and wickedness. This is due t,
prevail in the last days. "Can v.
not discern the signs of the times p
The speaker then referred to lisa
2:2, calling attention to the fact tina
it speaks of things to be expected il
the last days, And then read from
verse seven regarding the land bein,
full of silver and gold with no end tc
their treasures. He stated that W,
are most assuredly living in the day,
of the fulfilment of this prophecy.

ures together for the last days" wer,

Government Officials Improve
Clearwater National Forest

F. A. Silcox, of Missoula, chief
forester for this territory, was in
Orofino Wednesday on forest business.
His business here was to confer with
W. B. Wiley, in charge of the Clear
water National forest, also Mr..
Beatty who came in from Fish Lake,
Montana. E. H. Whitehead accom-
panied Mr.. Wiley from the Oxford
mine, east Of Pierce, where Mr..
Wiley has established summer head
quarters. Mr.. Wiley said conditions
were now fine from the standpoint of
the timber people, which includes
Uncle Sam. The past month was
unusual for the amount of moisture
falling, and with no more rain there
can be no fire before August Is. So
far there has been no fire. The
ground is still damp, the underground
heavy and green, and the outlook for
a satisfactory season could not be

Why not street fair? Why not
use the windows of the business houses
making everything free, and give
the people two days of sport and
pleasure? The business house can
donate, not money, but merch andise
for prizes, and hold field meet for
the boys of the county. The exhibits
can be truly attractive, and just as
much benefit result from this compe-
tition as could result from any fair
with paid admission and some cheap
carnival stunts that at best are
neither entertaining nor instru uctive.

1he emu oI HVe years tnlS one mill
levy will have produced, without any
increase in valuation, $50,0O plus
whatever interest earned, and by the
end of ten years, or the maturity of
the bonds, without any levy after FIVE
years, this bond issue will have been
provided for, and more. If the
county shall have increased in value,
as it certainly will, this fund will
have been decreased correspondingly.
If, at the end of four years, the funds
raised will, plus interest, take care
OF the bonds, the county board can
stop further levy. Therefore, to have
roads NOW is simply a question of
the small interest to for the imme-
date use of the money.
To bring this proposition down to
brass tacks, let us consider the inter-
est in the light of RENT for the i'm
mediate use of such roads as the peo-
pie could and should construct NOW.
Are we willing to pay so little for
the immediate construction of that
which We need and must have? That
is the question.
HOW MUCH BONDS?
The Republican has suggested $50, :
900. There are some who favor
SIS, 900, and others who insist that
anything less than $1OO, 900 would be
poor business insisting it will require
at least that sum to complete the
roads under consideration. 1t is
pointed out that Nez Perce county
proposes a bond issue of half a mil
lion for good roads, while Clearwater
county must construct many of her
road. Nez Perce proposes to use this
vast sum principally in improving
roads now opened. Let the people
know what they propose to do, and
vote, if they bond at all, sufficient to
complete whatever work undertaken.
1t would be nothing short of calam-
ity, and avail nothing, were we to
almost open the Elk River or any
other road. Let the people do this
thing in business-like and efficient
manner or let it alone. Don't make
mistake.
DON'T BE SELFISH.
Don be road hog. Give your
neighbor just as good roads as you
would like. If your particular neigh
borhood happens not to be one to re
ceive a portion of the proposed bond
issue, in the name of fairness and
common sense don't fight it. Be big
enough and fair enough to look at this
from the standpoint of good citizen,
interested in the development of every
portion of Clearwater county. That
is fair to the other fellow.
DO 1T NOW.
Why not now?
This money will go into immediate
circulation, into the channel of loca
business, into the pockets of loca
labor, at time of general busines.
depression, when our people are need
ing every possible dollar that can b,

remember that our bonds will be ex
changed for outside money, and tina
this money will practically all remain
here at home, at least for ten years
We will have the roads now, the us,
of outside money NOW, for ten year
and while we will always have tn
roads, we will, in ten years, return
the money loaned, with interest.
If we do not bond now we simpl,
