amount of this worlds goods for sick
ness in this city is the exception
rather than the rule. Of course, the
local drug stores are prepared and do
furnish prescriptions quickly and ac-
curately but they also carry other
lines, such as curios, graphaphones,
jewelry and various other articlese.
One of the stores is the Hunter Drug
Co. which has a corner location and
has built up fine trade in the way of
prescriptions and merchandise of var
ious lines, particularly curios. The
company is well known to local peo-
pie as we'll as tourists and does fine
business.
The other store is that operated by
Will Marlar, who in addition to his
cares as an expert druggist, also rep
resents Coconino county in the Ari-
zona legislature. His store has a
goodly assortment of articles of all
kinds, including curios, and is we'll and
favorably known by all its customers.
Plumbing
Good plumbing insures sanitary
homes and a sanitary and healthful
city. Flagstaff is fortunate in this
respect in having the services of such
efficient plumbers as Wilson & Coffin.
The firm has won its way into the
good graces Of the people Of Flagstaff
by good work done at reasonable
prices. In addition to general plumb
ing the firm also sells gas engines and
water tanks and accessories for the
ranch and for the home.
Hotels

He Got The Bear.

H. Mounk, who had charge of pack
trains out of Headquarters this sea-
son, was in Orofino this week. Tues
day he exhibited bear hide that he
was taking to Mr. Loomis, the state
bounty man, for the $40 fee. The
bear was shot within a mile of Head
quarters one morning at o'clock as
Mr.. Mounk was on his way to White s
meadow for the horses. After he had
wounded the brute it turned and came
charging down the Hill at him. He
had a 30-30, and three shots, all of
them taking effect, had failed to hit
vital spot, and infuriated Bruin.
There was only one she'll in the gun,
and Mr.. Mounk slipped in two more
and waited for the bear to come up
When within five yards he sent shot
into his bearship's brain and the big
brute drop dead at his feet. The
bear measured feet, inch in length,
and was fat, but being old only the
hide was saved,

Clearwater County Fair
Best In Country's History

Glenwood Flats, commonly known
as the Alteneder gardens, have out
done all former efforts. This exhibit
covers something like forty feet, and
is of itself worth the price of admis
sion to see. 1t is marvellous to con-
template the great variety of pro-
ducts shown from one small farm, and
almost beyond belief that it could be
produced on one tract of land. From
the artistic standpoint the Alteneder
display is splendid. 1t shows ability
of high class, and is the result of
skillful preparation and scientific
knowledge of agriculture that would
do credit to any family.
Think of corn over fourteen feet
high! You may see it on your left
as you walk through the door of the
exhibits building.
One of the most interesting exhib-
its is that of Mrs. j. A. Hairless,
whose home in on Canyon creek.
She has the fleece of one sheep, and
from yarn carded and spun on the
farm from wool from their own flock
Mrs. Hairless exhibits cap and
scarf made on the farm by herself.
The flower booth, in charge of Mrs.
Theodore Foil, is beautiful thing.
1t is bower of lovliness, and will
attract much favorable notice from
all visitors to the fair.
w. E. King, the Eureka ridge
booster, has one of the attractive farm
exhibits. The quality is good enough
for any country, and few counties can
equal it,
w. H. Shaw has creditable gen.
eral farm exhibit. He has several
varieties of corn, crop he has grown
with marked success. His vegetables
are all good, ard his pumpkins ard
onions will come near getting the
blue ribbons.
E. w. Blake is showing some fine
products at the fair. Particular
mention is due his display of corn,
one exhibit showing ears over thir-
teen inches long ard nine inches in
circumference. They are monsters.
See them and be convinced that corn
will grow in Clearwater county.
Prof. c. c. Vincent, horticulturist,
and Prof. Singleton of the Livestock
department of the University of Ida
ho, will judge the exhibits. They
will begin tomorrow morning.
Every Indication points to fair
weather for the Clearwater county
fair. Thanks, awfully, Mr.. Weather
Man.

Make Officials Re-enburse
County For Appropriations

Something of a sensation was ere
ated in Latah county official circles
recently when there was lied in the
District court on September II COM
plant in which A. A. Anderson, a
farmer, is plaintiff, and Latah county
is made ex-relatione plaintiff againt
J. l.. Woody, A. B. Mcintyre, John
+. Hall, members of the Latah
County board of commissioners in
1911, and Homer E. Estes, county
auditor and recorder, and Ruth w.
Broman, treasurer, defendants.
The suit involves an action to re-
cover a total sum of SS47. "A, the a.
mounts appropriated and paid to Latah
county fair Association, the Lewiston
Children's Home and the Orphans
Home at Spokane, the sums having
been paid out on warrants issued on
various dates during 1912.
A feature in connection with the
petition is the position the defendants
are in, all being present county
officials and by virtue of the suit are
stopped from drawing salary warrants
until the issues are disposed Of.
The suit is forerunner of suits
that may be filed involving appropria-
tions made of similar nature on
dates subsequent to the dates in the
present suit. 1t is understood sum-
mons in the action will not be ISSUED

remarked that such a board would
never be reelected in Clearwater
county. Another drawback is that
roads built by highway district
might have no relation to well-con-
sidered plan of road development for
the county as a whole.
"These drawbacks led the Sentinel
to oppose the highway district plan
four years ago, but after four years
of experience it can be seen that they
are less than the drawbacks to a
county control as heretofore practiced.
THE work to be done in the pro-
posed highway district that is press
ing is the construction of road over
the Jerico hill or by some suitable
route through that neighborhood and
running on to the North Fork at or
near Dent, the improvement of the
local roads leading west fom Elk
River and little new construction
leading south to Meadow and Willow
Ridges. The road to 'Bovill should
also be relocated in places and i'm
proved. In fact, location is the most
pressing neei, as grade is more i'm
portant than stance. For example,
the Bovill road parallels the Milwau-
kee and will never be much used ex-
cept as local road and what little
work is done should be placed where
it will remain.
As for the bounds of the district,
it should include only compact terr-
itory which naturally trades and
travels the same way. If an attempt
is made to include property far dis
tant and requiring roads that do not
form part of the local highway there
can only be justified discomfort at the
result. The highway district should
be extremely careful not to act as the
county has done-take tax money from
one for the benefit of another.
PRAISES COMMISSIONER CHOATE
Commissioner Choate, of the TIL rd
District, has set an excellent EXAMPLE
of the proper way to handle roads in
a new county by planning to secure
rights-of-way at the present time and
on proper locations and absolutely re-
fusing to permit any work to be done
on merely temporary and improperly
located roads. His theory is the cor
rect one 1t is that the principal
roads should be laid out on the sup
position that the county is fully set
tied, then as it does settle work done
now will not have to be done over.
The present desire of many ranchers
is for roads that run merely from one
| homestead to the next, without regard
to the people who will eventually live
on the land now uninhabited.
A highway district seems the best
solution of the road problems of this
region. 1t has its drawbacks but ap-
parently it will prove best to endure
them. If, after full consultation with
/ the people of the region centerine
about / TX River they think as do
those in its favor, it should be put
through.

North End OF County
Proposes Highway District

Inc Elk River Sentlnel mas the f0l
lowing to say relative to the form
alton of a highway district:
''As proposed by various citizens in
these columns nearly four years ago
and as recently advocated by the Oro-
fino Republican the Elk River district
may soon decide to form a highway
district.
By so doing it can build the roads
that are needed to open up the country
and do so without at the same time
building those of others and without
resting under obligations to anybody.
THE south end of the county
OWES the north end all it needs for
road construction-but there is no
chance to collect. Therefore it is
the part of wisdom to quit throwing
good money after bad.
''The process of forming a highway
district is not difficult and its opera
tions are simple after its creation
"A petition is filed with the county
commissioners signed by a given
number of owners of land in the pro-
posed district, homesteaders who have
not yet proved up being eligible
After due herring, at which the COM
missioners may change the proposed
bounds Of the district, they give no.
tice of special election. At it the
proposed district is voted upon and
three highway district commissioners
are chosen by its residents. One of
these comes from each of three d.
visions into which the district is to
be separated. These commissioners
draw only So per day when caring for
official business and have control over
all roads of the district.
IF the Elk River highway district
is formed Elk River itself will get no
direct benefit from it because the law
prohibits the expenditure of any dis
trict funds within any incorporated
town. The money available must be
spent upon true country roads.
''The way taxes are handled is that
the general county levy, whatever it
may be, is made as usual by the
county commissioners and all that
portion raised within the highway dis
trict is paid back to it for its own
use except 25 per cent. of the general
property tax. Poll taxes all go to
the highway district. In addition to
these funds the district as whole OF
any one of the three divisions thereof
may levy special tax of not to ex-
ceed p mills for specified purposes
Furthermore the district may by vote
issue bonds for roads or bridges up tc
a specified percentage Of its assessed
valuation.
'The drawbacks to highway dis
tricts are that it sets up within the
county an extra and unnecessary gov.
ernmertal agency with power to tas
and in most cases with every induce.
ment to raise and spend money unnec.
essarily. 1t also seems not to provide
for the use of the county surveyor fol
highway district purposes, but in thi.
case that is small drawback TIL,
law is also unjust in giving thu
county for road purposes any part Of
its private funds, but, as the count,
now takes them all, rs per cent is
lot better than nothing. And ther'
is always the possibility of the elec
tion of particularly conscientious
and independent board of county com
missioners which will spend that Q
per cent. within the district where |

Orofino has the best land on earth
for orchards. This is attested by ex-
perts who know. The mild climate,
rich limestone soil, without the nec-
essity of irrigating, should appeal to
people who know.
The public school exhibit has one
of the most interesting booths in the
building. See what the boys and
girls are doing in our public schools.
There may be delays, but eventual
ly the Orofino cement deposit, one of
the finest in the world, will be devel-
oped. 1t will give 200 men steady
employment and that will help some.
And you can't take this natural re-
source away from Orofno.

The Knights of Pythias have five
candidates now ready to be initiated,
one of which will be given the lesson
of the First Rank at the next regular
meeting October 9. A delegation
from the Nez Perce lodge will be
present to witness the ceremonies.
The following week the local team
will go to Nez Perce to demonstrate
the work in TIE First Rank. The
local lodge is now entering on the
busiest period in it's history owing to
the fact that thinking men now more
fully appreciate the precepts of the
order, and realize the benefits to be
derived from membership in such a
great brotherhood. AS it takes con-
siderable time to demonstrate the
work, refreshments will be served at
the proper time.
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1915-07-08

This first paragraph OF this
week is one that was left out
last week. el%
Mr.. Chas Fee was the speak.
er in the first Open, Air service
of the season and we wish to ex-
press the opinion of all who talk.
ed to us that we are more than
proud of Charley, as this is one
of the best efforts we have heard
on the temperance question.
May this com munity continue to
produce such boys as Charles
Zee.
Tbs leads us to make this re-
mark about our friends from
Missouri who are walking to
California. While their articles
are good reading matter they do
not even express the larger
things of this great west, for the
greatness of any generation is
the product of that generation in
character. We have not lived in
any community that can boast OF
as many of its boys holding posi-
tons of trust in the world as
this one can and we ought to
feel proud of them. So the story
written of Meade is not even a
story until it tells the world
what came out Of this early life
of hardships in real character
production.
The month of June was q
month of weddings. We havn't
had as many weddings in one
month since we began to preach.
We had four weddings IN June.

We extend an invitation to you
to attend our services. The
weather man says it will be hot
soon and you will enjoy our open
air meetings every Sunday even
