Should County Issue Bonds?

The matter of county Indebtedness
is causing considerable discussion. 1t
is contended by some that the only
way out of the present dilema is for
the county to bond, while others main
tain better way would be to face
the music and raise the money by
taxation, if the levy had to be showed
up to the limit. The levy for the
past year should have been at least 25
mills, although II mills was some
thing to make the people sit up and
take notice. Where would Clear
water county be today had the people
voted those proposed court house
bonds?

Crippled For Life.

A most distressing accident near
the Lewiston stock yards Friday night
resulted in the loss of both arms at
the elbow by Robert Wardrobe of
Genesee. Thursday evening Mr..
Wardrobe, accompanied by Messrs.
Jones and Schooler also of Genesee,
were in Orofino where they cashed in
for the bounty on four cougar killed
near Big Island on the North Fork.
Mr.. Wardrobe and Mr.. Schooler went
to Lewiston Friday, and during the
day Wardrobe was intoxicated. He
was at the DeFrance hotel apparently
sober at o'clock in the evening, and
an hour later was picked up near the
main line of of the Northern Pacific
with both forearms crushed by being
run over by train. There is suspic-
ion that the man who is about "a
years Of age met with foul play. 1t
is possible he was drugged for he is
thought to have been relieved of some
money. He was supposed to have
had something like thirty dollars on
his person but had only some $4.25 in
change in his pockets when picked up.
His purse was empty.
The forearms were badly mangled
and amputation just above the elbows
followed. The unfortunate man is
still unable to tell what happened.
Mr.. Schooler visited his friend Mon
day and said Wardrobe went out OF
his head after talking a moment.
His condition was such that only in
innate fiends were permitted to see
him and then only for few minutes
at time.
Mr.. Schooler was in Orofino Monday
night on his way back to Big Island
where he left his dogs. He will en-
deaver to bag few more cougar be.

the sea of capacity up to four hundred
tons to make the run to Lewiston, ap-
proximately 500 miles inland, while
similar distances can be reached on
the upper Columbia. The consumation

of such vast industrial Importance to
the entire Northwest that all of the
cities located upon and tributary to
the Columbia and Snake have Joined
in the movement to celebrate at
Lewiston on May 3. At that time a

BILE after having made the run through
the canal from the lower river. The

Monday evening the electric car
brought in load of sheep from Mo-
limo. The sheep belonged to Powell
and Mundy. The car was pusned up
the hill on Jackson street, turned
over to the Chicago & Alton, the
brakes set and left standing. The
electric car was then taken back
down the street and left facing
north on the electric lines main
track. At six o'clock the c. & A.
folks backed an engine to get the
car of sheep and butting into it too
hard, the car started back down the
street toward Molino again. A
brakeman was aboard and worked
the brakes with all his might but
could not check its course and was
compelled to jump to save himself.
The old freighter went on and
crashed into the electric car and
turned over on its side. Eight sheep
were killed outright and others in
jured. The southwest corner" OF
the electric car was smashed into
kindling wood and the axle of one ol
the trunks was snapped in two. The
reserve car was brought into use and
the electric line is still doing

iority vote it was decided that the
septic tanks should be built and that
Mexico should have more light.
The tanks are an absolute necessity.
A special tax must be voted; there is
strong opposition to bonds. A spec
ial election is to be held soon. After
that the light question is to be taken
up. If the septic tank and light Ques-
tions can be settled by voting spec

AMERICANS MUST STAND FIRM
Present lis Time of Special Stress
and Test of Patriotism, Says
Chief Executive

Washington, Oct pa demand
| upon all Americans on pain of ostra-
cism to be more than neutral in re-
gard to the European war, to take
their stand for America first, last and
all the time was voiced by President
Wilson today in a speech at the ce1e-
bration of the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of the founding of the Daughters
of the American Revolution
The United States, the President
said, was not merely trying to keep
out of trouble, but was trying to pre-
serve the foundations upon which
peace could be rebuilt.
Now we have come to a time of
special stress and test. There never
was a time when we needed more
clearly to conserve the principles of
our own patriotism than this present
time The rest of the world, from
which our politics were drawn. seems
for the time in the crucible and no
man can predict what will come out
of that crucible. We stand apart
uncontrolled, conscious of our own
principles, conscious of what we
hope and purpose so far as our pow
ers permit for the world at large
and it is necessary that we should
consolidate the American principle.
Every political action, every social
action, should have for it's object in
America at this time to challenge the
spirit of America; TO ask that every
man and woman who thinks first of
America should rally to the stand
ards of our life.
Il am not deceived as to the bal
ance of opinion among the foreign
born citizens of the United States,
but 1 am in a hurry to have an OPP
portunity to have a lineup and let the
men who are thinking first of other
countries stand on one Side-biblically
it should be the left; and all those
that are for America, first, last and
all the time, on the other side.
"A man standing alone may well
doubt his judgment, he may mistrust
his own intellectual processes; he
may even wonder if his own heart
leads him right in matters of public
conduct; but if he finds his heart part
of the great throb of national life,
there can be no doubt about it. If
that is his happy circumstance then
he may know that he is part of one of
the great forces of the world"
