Too Many Newspaper

Moscow offers a most pitiable ex-
ample of the ''too. much -iocal-news-
paper for a town. That town how
has three, when there is scarcely
enough business for one large enough
to be of value and credit to the CON-
munity. There is a triplication of
expense such as rent, power, lights,
labor, machinery and equipment, fol
one shop. one building, one editor and
one reporter, could do all the work,
while the merchants are burdened
with the job of attempting to support
three plants. Forgetting for the
moment the interest Of the printers
and publishers, and looking only at
the interest of the community, DOES
1T PAY?

Pine" County Has Opposition
Among Elk River Residents

Elk River, Idaho, June 81, 1916
Clearwater Republican, Orofino,
Idaho: Herweith is the sentiment of
one Elk River taxpayer relative to
this new county Mr.. Duerselen and
Mr.. Gordon, of the Sentinel, are at
tempting to create. They call it
"Pine" county. In my opinion it
might better be called "Duerselen
and Gordon county. Nobody knows
anything about it but them. | am a
heavy taxpayer in Clearwater county,
and it is satisfactory to me and others
l talk to about it.
suppose the county printing don t
suit the Sentinel, and they ant some
more of those fat printing jobs.
| understnd they are not satisfied
with present condition here in Elk
River Perhaps they want the old
condition, existing up to the first of
the present year, with its violation of
law. Perhaps they want such con-
dition to go on. If people do not like
law enforcement let them move out.
When things in Elk River was run
ming wide open it suited some, and
now, because things are decent, and
the law is enforced, an effort is made
to cut lose from Clearwater county and
start a new county that might be run
to suit certain class. The interests
of the taxpayers don't count of course,
with some people.
Before we talk of making more
counties let us get some people, and
let us go slow before we jump into
something of questionable value to
the taxpayers who must foot the bills.
Respectfully Submitted,
TAXPAYER.

writer asked that his name be kept

there are others quite as capable of

Facts of the matter are the county

HAS Beens" Got Skinned

The ball game Sunday, between
the Orofino regular nine and choice,
hand-picked assortment of 'has
beens," attracted no little att ntion
among local lovers of the game, and
proved interesting. One lady specta-
tor said it was the best game played
this year on the local ground. because
it was SO funny. And the funniest
thing in the game was the slide for
life by Sheriff Sullivan from second
to third, in which the arm of the law
lost all the skin on one shin. Roy
Leeper, palying with the has beens,
negotiated home run that cleared
the bases, and Pitcher Retig, for the
regulars, raped one over the right
field fence that hasn't stopped going
yet. Third Baseman Funk, tn, star
third baseman on the first team, got
out at first because he got there ahead
of schedule time. Cavanaugh, an old
star performer, who played behind
the bat for the has wassers, was there
with the goods, and made it int crest
ing to attempt 10 steal second. Harry
Wheeler caught for the regulars,
giving both teams first calss talent in
that quarter. The score was some
thing like to IA in favor of the reg
ular team and the pr. ceeds from the
game went to meet first team indebt-
edness.

The Clearwater Republican is still
patiently "watchfully waiting" for
the picture of that "guy" Governor
Nose threw out of the basement of the
state house 1.-THE first thing" the
"million dollar mystery" did after
being sworn in as governor. During
the campaign Mr.. Alexander went
over the state assuring the people that
the republicans had the payrolls
loaded with unnecessary and useless
employees who were drawing fat sal
aries. The republicans were, accord
ing to Alexander and his followers,
outrageously extravagant, and Nose
Alexnder would clean up. He told
how he would go down into the base
ment and throw out the first "guy"
he met, and how he would keep on
cleaning out the ''guys" till he had
gone to the peak of the dome. We
would like picture of the first guy
Nose tackled. The facts are Nose
was peddling umpah, unadulterated,
and he knew he was deceiving the
people when he made such statements.
No better illustration of this de-
ception is needed than in the case of
the ''bee Inspector" that never failed
to delight his audiences. And yet
this was as mythical as the million
dollars this hot air peddler boastfully
claimed to have saved within sixty
days after taking his oath of office.
We say ''hot air. peddler, and we
will add, fakir, because he resorted
to the rawest sort of deception, and
practiced the rankest kind of political
taking, that he might deceive the
citizens of Idaho into believing he,
Moses Alexander, the first and only
Hebrew governor Of sovereign state
under the Stars and Stripes, had kept
faith with the people; that he had
accomplished the herculeanean task OF
saving, in sixty days, one million
dollars; that his widest campaign

inefficiency and rank extravaganza,

Crops Look Good.

According to reports brought to
0rofino Wednesday fro n the Teakean-
Cavendish section by Jack Crabb, crop
prospects are first class. Similar
reports come from every other section
Of the country tributary to Orofino.
The only discouraging thing is the
slump in prices, but who cares now? =?
It's a long time till fall, and with a
world-war raging there will be de-
n1anG for wheat, ira la la.

Governor Alexander Reminded
OF His Campaign Promises

were justified; that Nose Alexander
was really most extraordinary and
wonderful man, who had, with
simply process Of addition, made good.
To save" that million dollars
Governor Alexander is cretainly guilty
of deception. For will it be con
tended that business man, and Alex
ander is at least that, would take
credit for items he must have known
he did not save, and which, by his
own logic. are chargeable to the Alex
ander administration?
For illustration, Gov. Alexander
took credit for Saving" $40, 10000 of
bonds voted by the legislature during
the Haines administration. And the
truth is not penny of these bonds
were sold during the time Governor
Haines was governor. To sell them
the last Legislature voted to increase
the stipulated interest rate, and they
were sold after Governor Alexander
had approved the bill raising the
interest rate.
After Governor Alexander had done
this; after he had signed the bill, and
knew no part of the money could
possibly be charged to the Haines ad-
ministration, Nose Alexander, gover-
nor of Idaho, did charge this identical
5000, 900 bond issue to John M. Haines
and the republican administration, and
took credit for saving the people of
Idaho this 5000, 900 which he, Nose
Alexander, by his own official acts,
was to receive to be expended during
the administration of Nose Alexander.
And the strange thing about it is
that our wonderful governor seems to
feel shocked that the people are not
as dense as he thought them to be.
He must have taken the voters for a
bunch of idiots. And while the stunt
worked once, Nose will have beauti-
full time the next time he tries it..
The people will welcome and oppor-
tun ty to resent this hypocracy at the
polls two years hence.

Every effort of the people should
be exerted to the end that the propose
standard trunk road from Orofino up
the North Fork to Orofino may be
fastened to speedy completion. We
believe the county board is doing all
its power to this end. Commits
sioner Choate recently visited the Elk
River section for the specific purpose
of investigating this particular road,
and we are informed he proposed some
changes that will improve the grades.
We believe the people of the county
generally would willingly consent to
the expenditure of no small proportion
of available funds to this end. Prob
ably being in the direction Of timber
corporation holdings the Orofino Trib-
une will raise another howl and fndin
this evidence of timber company die
tation of county business. But the
road is a good thing just the same, and
should be built with all speed.

After an exhaustive investigation
the government of the United States
is out with a statement saying that
the 300 or more smut explosions last
harvest in eastern Washington and
n )rthern Idaho were caused from smut
dust, and not by disgruntled laborers.
Knowing the cause it will be easy to
solve the question, and grain growers
will probably give sigh of relief.
The situation became so serious that
insurance companies would not carry
the risks, and threshing machine men
were demoralized
