Road OverSeerS Hold
First County Convention

Monday was Road Overseers day in
Clearwater county, and every district
in the county except one was repre-
sented by its supervisor. M. L.
Hatch of Reds Prairie was in the
East and unable to attend. The meet
ing was presided over by Chairman of
the Board J. P. Harlan, with all
members present, including Clerk of
the Board Frank Shreve. The entire
day was devoted to road matters.
The forenoon was given over to dis
cussion of the needs of the various
districts, so the Board can bunch or
ders and thus save on the purchase
price.
In the afternoon the discussion was
general, covering every phase of
county road work, from the making of
grade to the purchase of supplies. In
response to the inquiry as to who
should be employed the commissioners
told the overseers to use their best
judgment, but to be fair with all tax
payers, and that there should be no
discrimination on account of politics.
The question that aroused most dis
cussion was that of wages, and all the
overseers spoke their minds, telling
the sentiment in their respective To-
calities. Ira Schuh from Elk River
said it was going to be hard to get
teams at less than $3.50 per day, and
this seemed to be the general opinion.
Some reported the farmers general
ly favorable to the reduced scale, but
all agreed that at prevailing prices
for hay, grain, and cost of living fol
man and beast that there was dissatis-
faction, and advised the restoration Of
the old scale for men and teams. In
the matter of the discrimination in
favor of big teams it was the opinion
OF the overseers that no difference
should be made, but that the overseers
should use judgment, and that nc
money should be wasted. It was
pointed out that many medium sized
teams are as good as large ones, doing
the same work, and that the same
money should be paid. It was alst
admitted that for heavy Juggling tn.
big teams were best, and the only
way to give the county square dea
was to use judgment, working varioul
sized teams where they can do tn,

Don't Miss Il.

can jungles, and braved death from

Fine Road Work.

As good work as we have ever
seen done on public roads is being
done this week by Road Overseer
Fred Frazier near the old power plant
up Orofino creek mile east of town.
Near the Henager residence, just this
side of the light plant, there was
some hundred feet of as miry road as
people were ever compelled to travel.
It was apparently without any bot
tom. Last year this road had been
graded and crowned, but not rocked
or graveled, and Mr.. Frazier has had
crew dumping on both rock and
gravel, and some eighteen or more
inches have been applied. Yesterday
teams were able to keep on top of the
road. A good drain has been put in
and it is our guess that this will now
be one of the best pieces of road in
the county.

Would Improve Cemetary.

w. A. Shaw is making an effort to
interest the citizens in the Orofino
cemetery. 1t is desired that the
grounds be improved in keeping with
a place of this character, and to this
end he invites those having relatives
buried in this place to call or write
at once. He volunteers to look after
any work desired. Mr.. Shaw has
asked the county to make a small ap-
preparation, and will endeavor to
raise other funds from private SUBJ
scription.

dress or see w. A. Shaw, Oroino,

Open new Road.

The county commissioners spent
most of Wednesday looking over the
new road in district No. 8, known as
the Whiskey creek road. A special
tax was voted last fall and there is
now available So, $500 and every
thing is ready to begin work. This
road has already been accepted, and
the right of way cleared, and some
of the brush cut. There is some two
miles of road to construct, which will
open up the entire Whiskey creek
section, giving the settlers much
needed outlet. Road Supervisor W..
c. Hardness will have the work in
charge.

Alcohol And immortality
Responsible For Insanity

An interesting address was given
by DR.. Givens at the Parent Teachers
meeting Monday night. The doctor
stated that some of the chief causes
Of insanity were improper food, grief,
immortality and intoxicating drink.
No one knows what the mind is but
we do know what the mind organs
are and whatever interferes with the
proper workings Of the mind organs
is liable to cause insanity. Fevers
usually cause only temporary insan-
ity, and that caused by improper food
and grief can usually be cured by
proper care. Insanity caused by i'm
morality is generally considered in
curable. While great deal of in
sanity is caused by immortality, ac-
cording to DR.. Givens, more is caused
by strong drink than any other thing.
The speaker then showed that the
natural conclusion at which we would
arrive wouldsb that to prevent insan-
shoui.l live clean, natural
lives tProperN nourishment, a sound
religion and "a sound philosophy of
life would do more than anything else
to keep the mind organs in proper con-
dition. 1t would seem that any per-
son listening to the doctor would turn
from immortality and strong drink as
from deadly pestilence if health,
peace of mind and life itself are OF
any value.
According to DR.. Given the child

May Be Water Shortage.

There is cause for fear of water
shortage throughout this section of
the state the coming season, and it is
hardly probable that the power plant
at the mouth of the LoLo will be able
to run much after July l5, or August
first. But the Grangeville Light Co.
will be able to meet the demands on
its service in Orofino through it's
auxiliary steam plant which is now
being put in shape. The last of the
equipment arrived yesterday, and
Manager Harry White expects to have
the plant ready to run in 4 short
time.

What About Il?

The Lewiston people are planning
to make the celebration in honor of
the opening of the Cello canal very
big event, and Orofino is invited to
participate. The matter of float in
the parade has been suggested, and
suitable literature advertising the
Clearwater valley has been urged.
What would you suggest, gentle
men? Remember that the crying
need Of Clearwater county is pub
licity. We need to let the outside
world know that there is such a place
as Clearwater county. The question
is will the Lewiston celebration in
May be worth while? We think il
would.

Lest We Forget.

Last fall George Alteneder exhibit
ed samples of fodder corn and fodder
cane that made yield here at Orofino
of some thirty-five tons or more to
the acre. May we suggest that
others profit bv the Alteneder expert
ments and instead of two or three tons
of dry hay per acre, get from twenty
to forty by using silo and corn?
This would give cheap feed and make
stock or dairying more profitable.
Our farmers must come to diversified
crops. We must eventually come to
cattle, hogs and dsirying.

The Bank of Orofino is having cuts
made of the beautiful exhibit of
grains and grasses now on display in
the bank. The bank plans to use this
cut on its literature, availing itself
of splendid means of advertising
Clearwater county. One cut will be
given to the Clearwater Republican
for booster work connected with the
paper, and the idea is SO good that
Others should get busy.

rem of immoral or Incorporate par
ents are more liable to become insane
than the children of moral, temperate
parents, which lays fearful respon-
sibility on the shoulders of parents.
Science is agreeing with the Bible
that the sins Of the parents shall be
visited on the children.
Following the splendid talk by DR..
Givens there was general discussion
about improving the school grounds,
and Saturday. March 13, was desig-
mated as the day. Post Master Blake
suggested that it would be good idea
to interest the boys in this work,
which was seconded by others, and it
was decided to make the Orofino
grounds as attractive as possible.
1t was suggested that the school
apply to the University of Idaho for
such trees as could be set out around
the Orofino school grounds, and on
motion of P. H. Blake the clerk of
the school board was directed to cor
respond with Prof. Shattuck of the
Department of Forestry relative to
the matter.
1t was suggested that the movement
of beautifying the school property be
extended to include the entire town,
and that the advice of experts be So
licited as to the kind of trees most
desirable, how and where to set them,
and such other information as would
assist the people to properly carry on
the proposed work.

Soon Complete Bridge.

The new suspension bridge which
the Forestry department is construct
ing across the Clearwater at the
mouth of the Oro Grande will soon be
completed. There is main span 176
feet, and the completion of this
bridge will be big thing for those
having business in this part Of the
state. The river is very treacherous,
and can be forded only during low
water, being then dangerous. Last
year the government lost two mules
at this crossing, and one man is
known to have been drowned.

Must Get Busy.

The attention of the Republican
has been called to the fact that it is
getting about time for the Clearwater
Timber Company to get busy if it is
to get any of the timber it purchased
from the settlers east of Orofino.
The company has ten or eleven years
to remove this timber, the land be-
longing to the settlers, and the
company will need get busy soon as it
takes time to get in shape to harvest
timber. There must be Transports
tion and some means to saw.

socialism and that he replied that
there was not.

N. P. Getting Busy.

The Northern Pacific has been
stringing new ties along the track
here at Orofino, and it is reported the
company plans to lay heavier steel.
A new bridge will be installed at
Ahsahka this spring, also one here at
Orofino and another across the LoLo.
Some take this to indicate some
movement in timber in the near
future, which would require heavier
track and better bridges than the
Stites-Lewiston branch could now
carry.
