Marriage License Cheap

Auditor Jos. Kaufman has a mar
riage license, which he can sell at a
bargain. And it's perfectly good
marriage license at that. Of course
young people are expected to be a
little fused up, and ratified, during
such time, and when VIM. c. Winn,
who is employed at the state sanitar-
ium, and Miss Daisy M. Bucklin, left
Monday, for Lweiston to get married,
and forgot their license, which they
had secured from Auditor Kaufman,
they had to get another after reaching
their destination. And of course they
have no use for his extra license, fol
nobody needs two, and the license is
now at the court house, in possession
of the county auditor, who has author
ity to sell it on the first bid, regard
less of cost. And it is a regular 5;
license at that.

OrOfinO Will Have Another
Substantial Brick Building

Oronfio is to have another substan-
tial brick block, the plans calling for
48x1OO. Work started this week on
the brick which are to be msds in
Orofino. j. M. Bartlett, the pioneer
brick manufacturer Of this place, has
the contract which calls for 125, 900.
Mr.. Bartlett will burn a kiln of
200, 900, and is clearing ground be-
tween the tennis court and the Chris
tian church for the plant.
The laudable feature of this deal is
the fact that Frank Jones, manager of
the White Pine, who is putting up
this building, went out of his way
that he might give employment to
home labor, and will delay thirty
days that local man may get the
business. This means that Mr.. Bart
lett will give employment to home
labor, and that practically every
penny of the cost of this bui lding
will stay right here in Orofino. A
most laudable spirit, and the kind
that makes community go in the

Summer Hints on Your Baby,
How To Keep It Well. .

Hot weather is the time of danger
for the babies. The record of the
state for 1914 was better than ever
before, but even last year babies died
during the four summer months in
Idaho, nearly half of them from sum-
mer diarrhoea. One half of the
deaths Of babies from this cause
would have been prevented if these
babies had been given proper food.
The only perfect food for baby is
mothers milk. Ten bottle-fed babies
die to one feed at the breast. Breast
fed babies seldom have the bowel
trouble which is so fatal to bottle fed
babies during hot weather. There
are very few mothers who cannot
nurse their babies if they try to dc
SO under the direction of competent
physician, and breast feeding is the
one great thing which can prevent the
loss of thousands of babies from pre-
ventable disease this summer.
When it is for any raeson impossi.
BILE to secure mothers milk for the
child, fresh cows milk, properly mod
flied and pasteurized by placing tht
bottles in double cooker and putting
in thermometer and heating till th'
water is $50 degrees. The cooker
should tnen be moved to the back O.
front of the stove so as to keep tn
temperature between 140 and $50 de
grees for thirty minutes. This i
necessary to kill the harmful germ
which may get into even The bes
milk.

for any indebtedness incurred, which
was calculated to prevent such con-
dition as existed in Clearwater county
when the present county board went
into Office the first of the year. Their
hands are tied.
No funds, no county improvements.
Everything stopped this week with
suddenness that is serious. The
new Fords creek grade, almost COM
pleted, must wait another year, as
must all other work.
But surely this is good law, and
while it is working temporary hard
ship, it is just such a law as will
prevent repetition of the scandalous
condition that did prevail. The old
board run the road funds in debt
$36, 900. The present board has this
to pay. This overdraft, much of
which was wasted, must be paid
NOW, before the present board can
go on with road improvements. The
county is now to realize that such
reckless and extravagant business is
crime, and that the people ulti-
mately suffer for every penny of it..
The people will now wake up to a
realization of the stupendous folly of
former reckless business methods. 1t
does not pay.
As a matter of fact the $64, 000
cruise may be blamed for some Of the
present predicament of the board.
Having this expensive automobile the
county authorities feel bound to ride
in it, and SO, by accepting it, and as
sessing timber companies on it, the
county officers have nothing to do but
abide by its results. To illust ate,
the cruise cuts the Rupp & HOLLAND
taxes more than in two. 1t elimi
mates all burns, and altogether, whel
followed, automatically reduces othe
timber taxes.

Farmers Build Public Roads
By Private Labor And Money

Every farmer in the county should
have a personal interest in the public
roads, and be willing, for personal
reasons, to help make better roads.
For instance, did you ever take the
trouble, when starting to town, or two
a neighbor's, to throw spade or an
ak in the wagon and when you came
that piece of snag that you had been
humping over for the past few weeks
stop and remove it? No, you pay
taxes, and it's the overseer's business.
Around the bend, half a mile from
your barn, is mud hole that needs
only load of sand, or even dirt, and
small ditch for drain, to make the
road good, but you never stopped and
fixed it. A King drag, applied to
your road a few times during the
spring and late fall, after the rains,
would give you just the kind of road
you would be proud to have, and yet
you will not take the time that citi-
zens of road district must take if
they are to have good roads. Toe
many lack the public spirit, refusing
to raise finger unless they are paic
out of the road funds, and no district
can have the best roads where this
kind OF spirit prevails. Don't bs
afraid to donate day on the roads

The same result can be reached al
most as we'll if you have no thermom-
eter by heating till the water around
the bottles just comes to boil and
then setting on the back of the stove
for thirty minutes.
The baby needs less food, but more
to drink, in hot weather. Bottle
milk should, therefore, be diluted
with boiled water and cooled boiled
water given freely between feelings.
Clothing in summer should be light,
and the baby should be kept out of
doors as much as possible except in
the middle of the day, when it is very
hot. He should be bathed morning
and evening and on hot days in the
middle of the day.
If any signs at all of diarrhoea ap
pear the baby's food should be dilutet
with boiled water and the amoun
much decreased. If the trouble con
tinues and there is vomiting or feve
all food should be stopped at one
(giving only boiled water) and ply
sician called Immediately.

other points in infant care may be oh

The county board has been in ses-
sion since Monday as board of
equalization, and are busily engaged
wrestling with this most difficult of
county business, the proper adjust
ment of taxes. It is usually ''be
damned IL you do and be damned if
you don't"
Yesterday the board was going over
the rolls and raising timber lands.
There is a lot of good land, covered
with timber, assessed at 81 per acre,
and the board is raising this to So per
acre. This is outside of the timber.
The board is working on the theory
that in assessing timber lands the
value of the soil, should be consider
ed.
= At the meeting of the county asses
sors in Moscow, attended by all north
Idaho assessors, it was agreed that
land, covered with timber, should be
valued at 81 per acre, exclusive of
timber. Assessor Hinckley used this
basis, although such lands were valued
at $5 per acre last year in Clearwater
county. This amounts to reduction
in valuation in timber lands OF
81, 44O, 600, there being 800, 900 acres
in this county The board feels that
this should be raised on land suitable
for agricultural purposes after the
timber is removed, and is making
such raises as their limited time will
permit.
However the county board is facing
a serious situation. They discovered
this week, when they got hold of thu
rolls, that the valuation fer 1915 to
tails only $4,000, 900 as against $40,
500, 900 last year. Probably million
dollars of this may be accounted fo
by the forest fire destruction of las
year, but the fact remains that tn
county board discovered it was shor
from all causes more than millio
in assessed valuation and that avail
able revenue for county purposes viii
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1915-07-02

Forest fires destroy taxable proper
ty. 1t is therefore important that the
people see to it that all possible pre-
caution against fires be taken. Be
careful when in the timber. One
match may do a caillion dollars of
damage and possibly cause loss of life.
