Remarkable Case

4 most remarkable case of veteri-
nary surgery has recently been per-
formed in Orofino by DR.. Doty. A
cayuse mare, belonging to John Mix,
ran into the barb wire, cutting its
throat, and the jugular vein was sew
cred except small piece on the back
side. 1t was just hanging. After
the animal had bled till she fell, and
her death looked certain, Mr. Mix
succeeded in getting her to get up and
walk out of the barn where he could
dig hole and bury her. But regain
ing her feet the horse refused to lie
down and die, although the Gaping
cut had permitted gallons of blood to
flow away. DIR. Doty was summoned
anG with no idea that there was a
chance to save the animal, set to
work. The jugular vein was caught
up ard sewed together. Then the
neck, third severed, was sewed up.
And the mare is getting along nicely.
She will recover.

Washington Dillow Favors
Contract System On Roads

Washington Dillow, whose name
was mentioned in connection with the
proposed bonds in last issue, says he
is certainly in favor of good roads,
but is not in favor of bonding for $50. :
600 or any other sum with no assur-
ance that the county will get q
dollars worth of roads for a dollar.
Experience has certainly demon
strated the folly of public work on the
day labor plan, says Mr.. Dillow,
who has been bridge builder, and
handled large jobs. He says a case
in point is that of a small concrete
bridge over a little stream on the
west side of the river below Orofino.
1t was during the last county ad-
ministration, while Mr.. Zelenka was
commissioner, and Mr.. Dillow offered

the county solid concrete bridge.
1t got concrete abutments and a
wooden bridge. Mr.. Dillow says ex-
perience, both in Clearwater county
and throughout the older eastern states
and counties, has proven beyond any
doubt that it pays to have work done
under contract, and that it is the only
way Clearwater county has a chance,
except in rare exceptions, to get all
it should in the way of roads for the
money. 1t is the opinion of Mr..
Dillow that assurance that the money
will not be wasted will stop all op-
position, because many people now op-
posing bonds will not bond unless they
know how and where the money is to
be spent.

Free Railroad Pass Evil
Forced On State Officers

applaud Governor Alexander's refusal

To that extent he is right. But he
places himself in the attitude of
pushing his associates down into the
muck with one hand while with the
other he waves aloft the banner of
purity. 1t was Governor Alexander
who signed the free pass bill last win

guarantee that it has come to stay.
The president of the Northern Pacific
railway company, when he saw the
Idaho work some three years ago, ex-
claimed: This will revolutionize
farming" With an Idaho the farmer
can put wheat, oats or barley into the
sack from the field for 81 an acre and
the farmer gets the dollar. How :?
Figure it for yourself. The first day
this season VIM. Clyde, just south of
Moscow, harvested, with eight of his
own horses and one man, twenty acres
OF grain. 1t was all his except the
$3.50 he paid the hired man. The
cost of oil is about the only other ex-
pense, SO it is fact that with an
Idaho the farmer can harvest for 81
an acre and get the dollar. Anywhere
that grain will stand till it gets ripe
the Idaho will work, as has been sue
cessfully demonstrated. This season
some of the 1915 models are being
operated by gasoline engines, and the
experience of the year will demon
strate how successful this departure
Is to be. Just enough horses are used
to push the harvester over the ground.

Fact No. One. Much of the money
used to build the roads and bridges
from Ahsahka to Greer and Weippe
and Pierce and Fraser came from the
north end of Clearwater county. 1t is
hardly fair now, having used their

hands and say: IF these outside

them.

built their roads, but is it fair, sfter

northern districts, enough to have
built the Elk River-Dent road twice

the south end of Clearwater county

to the north end of the county, to ig-

alton except to do all we can to the

Which Is Cheapest?

The Republican desires to serve the
public. 1t is the newspaper func-
tion to educate. 1t is medium for
carrying information to the people.
10 this end the columns of the paper
are open for any reasonable discussion
OF the proposed bond issue. If you
have ideas that will help settle this
matter right let the people have them.
Another matter on which there is
honest difference of opinion is contract
VS.. day labor on all public work. So
far as the Republican has investigated
the majority of the people we have
talked with favor the day labor plan.
Others contend for contract on all put
lie work Which is the best for the
county? Upon what do you base
your opinion? The people have no
money to waste. They want all they
can get for their public funds. The
county board wants to serve the county
in the most efficient manner. Mr..
Dlllow contends for contract work.
just as strenuously do others contend
that day labor gives the best results.
In the case of the Ford's creek grade,
made partly on contract and partly
by day labor, it is admitted that both
systems worked we'll, but which
proved the most efficient the Repub-
lican has not the figures upon which
to base any opinion. With day labor
there is not the same incentive to do
poor work because there is no reason
for it. But if contractors are respon-
sible and reliable and the work in
spected as it proceeds it should be up
to specifications. Under any system
the people will sometimes get skinned.
