need settlers to move onto and devel-
op the thousands of acres of state
land that is for sale on easy terms,
there being forty years in which to
pay for it with low interest.
The plan is to cooperate with the
railroad company which will take
the exhibit east and pay one or two
local men to accompany it and repre-
sent the county. This seems to be the
latest advertising stunt by the big
railroads, being found to be practical
and effective, and not very expensive.
In view of such plan beng carried
out suppose our progressive farmers
plan to raise some products for exhi-
bition purposes, preparing the ground
this fall and giving it special care
next year. Let Clearwater county go
into the game right. 1t will pay.

thus. on spare time, during hours
when they might have loafed, these
valuable plats were prepared, work
OF itself worth all the salary Assessor
Hinckley and Deputy Assessor Molloy
will draw from the people for their
entire term of office.
What do these plats, or records
show The present ownership of
every piece, lot, parcel or tract of
land in the county. And this record
will be kept up to date to the end of
Assessor Hinckleys term. The peo-
pie should see that future assessors
keep it up.
Thus there is being prepared per-
manent record of great value to the
county, and so simple that any one
can instantly find the ownership of
any tract of land in the county.
Try it
Test it.
Take enough interest in your coun-
ty, its business, and the people S
hired men to see how they are serving
you.
The Republican editor recently Wis
tied the Office of county assessor and
inquired for the ''card index sys-
tenn, about which we had heard so
much, and for which the taxpayers
were, e,compelled to pay extra. We
desired to get into real personal con-
tact with Blair Hoar's system for
which he drew $225 extra. 1t will be
remembered he was hired to fix up
something of a tract or land index for
the assessor. We were shown few
hundred cards that are today of no
practical value or use to Clearwater
county. The money was wasted.
And we cannot but suggest, in view
of what has been accomplished under
Assessor Hinckley, by himself and
Deputy Molloy, at no additional cost
and without any footing of their own
horns, that the taxpayers, the people
of Clearwater county who pay the
bills, hereafter employ practical men
instead of blatant, boastful theorists.
A S126, 900 drawing per cent. i :
terest, is what the "dear people"
paid for their experience.
They elected theorists to handle
their business, and legacy is left of
a debt burden of thousands upon thou
sands of dollars.

County Assessors Department
Is Making an Enviable Record

While MIR. Fancher of Boise, trav.
cling Representative of the Syms- ork
Co. OF Boise, was making this terri
tory recently he visited to office OF
Assessor E. A. Hinckley of Clearwat-
er county, and there noticed the plats
which are being made by Deputy AS
SCISSOR j. M. Molloy. After looking
over the work Mr.. Fancher said it
was excellent, and complimented it
highly. He was more surprised when
he learned that this work is costing
Clearwater county nothing beyond the
salary of an office deputy in the asses
sor's Office. He said Oneida County
had justspaid S4, 500 for set of plats
of the similar kind and that Oneida
county has valuation but little in
excess of half of Clearwater county
The Republican editor has had the
privilege Of seeing these plats, and it
will pay the tax payers of the county,
the people who support the county
and for whom the county officials
work, to take the time and look over
these plats. The necessity of such
plats will be evident to any informed
person, being simply series Of
maps, called plat, showing ownership
of each parcel or tract of land in
Clearwater county. Start in by look
ing up your own land. Get your
township and range, which may be
located by going to the index, which
Assessor Hinckley and Deputy Asses
sor Molloy have brought up to date as
necessary part of the plats.
The assessors office has, without
any publicity, without any burning of
red fire or the least hurrah, been de-
voting spare time to this work, and
at no extra expense to the taxpayers
have produced set of plats other
counties are acquiring at cost to the
people of sevreal thousand dollars per
set. In other words Assessor Hinck-
ley and his deputy, Joseph Molloy,
have been earning their salary; they
have, instead of standing on the
street corner talking politics and
drinking booze and editing court
house ring newspaper, and other
things that former Clearwater county
officials did. attended strictly to the
business attaching to the office the
people are paying them to run, ard

The Largest Irrigation Dam
In the World Is Dedicated

The United States Reclamation
service has just completed its invest
ment of $l2, 900, 900 in the Arrowrock
dam and the Boise Irrigation project
in Idaho. As a resuslt 234, 900 acres
of sagebrush desert in the vicinity of
Boise, Nampa and Caldwell is to be
watered and brought under cultivation.
The soil and climate are we'll adapted
to the production of fruit, grasses and
grains. The SIP, 900, 900 will be re-
turned to the government by the
settlers in 20 annual payments for
water rights.
Here the government problem was
to impound the food water of the
Boise river and hold it until needle
for irrigation in the dry, hot summer
months. To accomplish this the
Arrowrock dam was constructed %
miles above Boise at cost of S., 500, :
900. 1t backs the water up the chan
mel for Is miles in a reservoir that
holds 244, 300 acre-feet of water. 1t
serves as reserve bank for the farm
ers.

" ood Roads Pay

While in Lewiston last week visit
ing the fair the editor of the Republi-
can had the pleasure of an auto ride
through Lewiston Orchards, over nine
miles Of paved road. This work has
but recently been completed and the
people are very proud of their beau
tiful highway, over which the farm
ers can now haul immense loads to
market at any season of the year. This
highway is about sixteen feet wide
with an eightfoot hard-surfaced strip
in the center to carry the strain and
wear. That it is fine need not be
mentioned. 1t is grand. There is no
mud, no dust, and no chuck holes, and
it will be the same at all seasons of
the year. If one were going to buy
land in the locality of this road they
would certainly pay the difference and
get land where they might have the
benefit such highway gives to a
community.
