The State Of Idaho made a very i'm
portant sale of timber Saturday when
E. N. Brown of Weippe, representing
j. w. Mariner of Milwaukee, Wis,
at public sale, acquired the timber on
l, 400 acres of state land three miles
from Weippe, in Clearwater county.
1t was spot cash sale, Mr.. Brown
turning over the the State a draft for
$45, 1873. so.
Under the terms of sale the pur-
chaser must begin saving lumber
within 36 months, and must remove
al timber within t Welve years from
date of sale. The state reserves all
timber under one foot in diameter.
The estimated timber on the !, 400
acres sold Saturday is thirty millions
of feet, while the purchaser owns
forty millions additional in the same
neighborhood. Mr.. Mariner is associ-
ated with the Scofield interests, also
large owners of timber tributary to a
mill at Weippe, and everything points
to immediate operations on rather
extensive scale.
The announcement is made that a
mill of at least ten million feet annual
capacity will be built at once at We
ippe, where the Mariner interests own
mill site Of 80 acres, with a pond
that will cover 80 acres when a dam is
constructed this summer. The dam
will be thirty feet high.
Two plans for reaching market are
feasible. There must be either a
railroad from Orofino up Fords creek
or fiume from Weippe to Fords creek
and the f1uming of the output dowr
the creek to the N. P. track four lies
above Orofino. One or the other of
these plans is to be utilized, and il

sioner Harlan, who is looking after
this, says the work, outside of the
contract will be completed in July.
"This will be the scenic highway in
the county, said County Commits
sioner Harlan this week. 'There are
places where the grade skirts the
mountain side with sheer drop of
hundreds of feet, and down at the
foot of the precipice is the Clearwater
river. 1t is to be the finest grade in
the county, and Fords creek will no
longer be a terror to those who have
to travel this road.
Another crew, including county
prisoners, is Strengthening out the
sharp, dangerous curves in the Ahsah-
ka road, this being link in the Greer
to Lewiston water grade wagon road
soon to be opened. Clearwater county
has sent word to Nez Perce county
that it will meet Nez Perce at the
county line with first class automo-
bile road.
Commissioners Choate and Coont7
are just as busy as is Commissioner
Harlan, all devoting much of theil
time to the personal supervision OF
public highways.

Bootleg Booze Is Officially
Spilled In Orofino Greek

Tuesday will 60 down in Clearwater
county as red letter for the anti liq-
uor forces. Promptly at three clock,
in the presence of prominent w. G.
T. U. leaders and many interested
citizens, Sheriff E. j. Sullivan and
County Attorney F. E. Smith broke
over the rocks on the banks of Orofino
creek the contents of some two barrels
of beer. This was part of the goods
seized by the authorities in the recent
raid at Elk River, there being some
yet to be disposed of, belonging to
French & Lester, the draymen, who
were acquitted, there being no evil
dence that they had sold liquor, al
though they admitted having shipped
in large quantities. This will prob
ably be disposed of when court con-
venes next fall.
County Attorney Smith opened the
exercises by saying that in celebration
of the first victroy over John Barley
corn in Clearwater county, the occa-
sion was one of unusual interest tc
those.who had labored to bring about
the enforcement of law within the
county; that the w. C. T. u hao

Orofino Citizens Hold Big
Booster Meeting Wednesday

One of the biggest and best and
most enthusiastic booster meetings
ever held in Clearwater county was
pulled off Wednesday night in l. o.
O. F. hall. A large audience was
present, and after two selections by
the orchestra the editor of the Repub-
lican briefly outlined the purpose of
the meeting. 1t was pointed out how
the people of Orofino and of Clearwa-
ter county have a common interest in
whatever makes for better business; !;
that whatever retards county develop
ment, or holds back the growth of
Orofno hurts, directly or indirectly,
every citizen in the town or the coun-
ty. People should boost their home
community from selfish motives, -
said the speaker, who urged the peo-
pie to lay aside personal enmities and
devote their ability, their time and
their money towards the material up
building of Orolno, and Clearwater
county. Short, but interesting and
enthusiastic talks were made by E. A /.
Schilling, County Attorney Smith, A.
A. Holsclaw, Probate Judge Todd.
Attorney Hofsted, DR.. Britain, H. l..
Walrath, and George Alteneder, and
the crowd cheered each speaker as he
told of the lack of harmony, of the
loss the community was sustaining be-
cause of internal dissention, and ap-
pealed for harmony, unity and big
ger and better Clearwater county.
Mr.. Schilling who but recently To-
Gated in Orofino, told now he had ira
veled over the Northwest looking for
business location; how he investi-
gated some places where the people
boost and where the towns are on the
map, and how he was unable to fine
out anything from anybody about
Orofno. He came here and made .
trip over the tributary country, anc
saw great undeveloped resources, ane
found town with big future, bu
the people were not working together
He was glad to see the people waking
up.
Attorney Holsclaw told how capita
had been driven out of Orofino; hov
men who came here to invest becam
disgusted because the citizens of tn
town were not working in harmony
and illustrated his point by sayin
that twenty-five strong men on eac
end Of rope, pulling against eac
other, could not get very far, but
the fifty men united and pulled at tn
same end Of the rope, in the sam
direction, with common purpose
they could accomplish great things
He thought it was time the citizen
of Orofino and of Clearwater count
got hold of the same end of the rop
and developed our wonderful resource
that would benefit and bless all tn
people.

Clearwater County Is Pushing
The Building of Good Roads

The work of building good roads
throughout Clearwater county never
received so much attention as at this
time. All the commissioners are as
busy as Cranberry merchants oversee
ing road construction, and there is
clamor from every nook and corner
of the county for new roads. Clear
water county is new, and there are
many small communities without roads
of any character.
For example, there are some four
teen families from the big eddy on up
the river past the Doe Monroe place
that are today practiclly without a
road. The commissioners recently
had County Surveyor Swadener survey
this road and it is to be opened at an
early date. And it will be a good
road too. This road will strike the
Russell grade part way up the hill,
and will be fine grade. 1t will fol-
low the river bank from the old ferry
around the big eddy and on for some
distance before starting up the hill,
all the way being in settlements. 1t
is one of the most needed roads in the
county. The Republican has repeat
edly called attention to this matter
We are glad the farmers are to be
given road to Orofino. They surely
need it.
Work on the new Whiskey creek
grade is also progressing nicely. The
crew will soon start grading. This
will open another district, and enable
settlers to reach market.
The road of most importance, at
least the road that interests the great
est number of citizens, is the new
Ford's creek grade, which will be op-
ened this year. Part of this is heavy
rock, but the contractors are pushing
the work, and will complete it in
schedule time. They are doing first
class work. The county is building
several miles by days work, under the
supervision of Overseer White, who is
said to be most capable and efficient
road builder, seeing that the county
gets reasonable service for the money.
Mr.. White does not hesitate to dis
charge the man who isn't worth his
wages. He is a good public servant,
and it is fortunate the county has such
man when it has under construction

Tonnage is an important thing with
railroads just at this time, and will
be of more Importance later.
When in operation the proposed mill
will afford employment for 250 men.
WEIPPE.
Weippe is a progressive little viii
lage that will enjoy something of a
boom in the near future, for the assur-
ance that the town is to have large
saw mill and possibly railroad will
stimulate an immediate demand for
Weippe property. There will no doubt
be something of boom, as people
will rush to get in on the ground floor
of "a good town with live future.
Weippe has that and more. 1t is
the natural business center of large
and productive district, and will al
ways enjoy immense business from the
logging operations which of necessity
will be carried on in the tributary
forests. The land, much of which is
settled and under cultivation, is fer
tile and ideal for clover and timothy,
the entire region being ideal for
dairying and livestock. The country
is we'll settled, many of the farms be-
ing modern, and stocked with fine cat
tie and horses. Some sections of We
ippe prairie out towards the breaks Of
the canyons, produce excellent fruit
and corn, and as more of the timber
is cleared away the climate will modi-
fly and the winters will become less
severe.
/ Weippe has a beautiful high school,
built only last fall, has two good gen.
eral merchandise stores, blacksmith
shop, livery stable, and modern
creamery. Before another year roll.

The railroads are making special
efforts at this time to attract immi-

is anticipated that the close of the
European war will bring thousands of
Industrious, thrifty Belgians. Hol-

Citizens Build Roads

Wednesday was Good Roads Day.
in Orofino, and it proved decided
success. Five or six teams and a
large number of citizens, the latter
armed with shovels, spent the day
loading gravel onto wagons and de-
posting it on the street from the pub
lie schools west to the Feed Store,
distance of two blocks. This is a
very bad piece of street, having been
practically impossible this spring,
and will require considerable more
work before it is fit to use. How
ever the worst of the work was done
Wednesday, it being only necessary to
give the gravel and stone top dress
ing to make the street solid and re-
spectacle. These Good Roads" days
are of SO much Importance that all
able-bodied men in the community
should participate, to the end that
Orofino may soon have roads that may
be travelled at any season Of the year.
