''The governorship, as view it,
on account of it's various business
responsibilities. is a serious and res
ponsible position, affecting at some
angle the happiness and welfare of
all the people of the state. The
Governor should therefore be 'on the
job every day, devoting his time and
talents to the states business. The
above is from an interview of George
Crum, republican candidate for gov
ernor, published in the Boise States
man. And George Crum, if elected,
will make good. He will be ION the
job" every day, devoting his time and
energy and talents to public business
for which he is paid. Mr.. Crum will
get the solid republican vote in Clear
water county for the nomination, and
many Democratic votes at the No
vember election against Nose Alexan-
der.
George Crum stands right on the
prohibition question. In his early
days back east he worked for prohibi-
tion and made speeches for it when
it was not popular. So it cannot be
said that Mr.. Crum is trimming tc
catch votes.

Let Americans Consider These Facts.

St. Mary's, w. Va, Leader: Re-
publicans believe that protection to
American labor and industry is vitally
essential. To our mind this is the
great fundamental difference between
Republicanism and Democracy. Other
questions of state and government
may inject themselves into the dis
cussion now and then, but not of such
supreme Importance.
In India the minimum wage is a
cents day, in China it is cents,
Japan, between 10 and IL cents and
so on up to Russia, Belgium, Germany
and England; but the highest possible
wage in England is less than halt of
what we pay the American workman.
In order that we may compete with
such conditions, cur laborer must live
on such foods as his earnings, under
such conditions, will permit him to
purchase-rice.
Until such time as the Free Traders
get the working people educated up to
living on this magnificent diet
Pro- ectiol is essential.

A Successful Recital.

The pupils of Professor w. w.
Gatenby held their annual piano re-
cital in the High School last Friday
evening. There was a splendid at
tendance, and the pupils each and all
eXcelled themselves. A program of
twenty two numbers was submitted
and every item WAS enjoyed by the
audience as was testified by the APP
plause accorded them. A trio of
Misses Wellman, Molloy and Kinne
opened the program. The younger
pupils created quite an impression,
and their playing was characterized
by smooth touch and steadiness of
rythm and time. especially in their
duet playing which was special
feature of their part in the program.
In this section We're Misses Crystal
Chenoeworth, Ruth Orcutt, Jean
Curtis, jeanette Cochran, Selma
Culbertson, Helen People, Vivian
Molloy, and Master Lawren De Baum
and Hugh Chandler. The last named
young gentlemen played a charming
duet with remarkable precision for
such young players. In the inter-
mediate section Miss Gladys Morton
showed good ability and execution in
Dussek's Canzonetta. She displayed
fine expression and delicate touch in
both her numbers. Miss Gladys
Molloy, in the advanced section, won
high praise for brilliant technique
and fine finish in her two numbers.
This pupil shows up marvellous de-
velopement in her playing and bids
fair to become pianist of high order.
The fine expression and splendid
techique of Miss Helen Kline was
also praiseworthy. Chopen Pre-
lude, most difficult work, was a
splendid effort of Miss Kinne's, and
deserved the highest approx alton.
In time, this young lady also ought
to take a place in the first rank of
pianists. The operate duet Caliph
de Bagdad by Misses Molloy and
kinne was musical treat in itself.
A variation in the program was made
by Mrs. w. w. Gatenby who sang
Cadman's Rose song for which she
was heartily encored, and very
charming French song, which also
had to be repeated. Rev. F. Morton
made most efficient chairman, re-
marking on the advancement of mus
ical efforts in Orofino, and the pro-
gress that the music class had made
since last years recital. The hall
was nicely decorated, plants and
flowers being kindly sent by Mrs.
Jones, Mrs. Chandler, Mrs. De Baur
and Mrs. Walrath.

Prohibition Gets John BarleycOrns Goat.

The report of the internal revenue
Commissioner of the ten months end
ing April 80, 1916, shows an increase
in the revenue from distilled spirits,
and as might be expected, the liquor
interests are using the figures to bols-
ter up their pet argument, ''Prohibi-
tion does not prohibit. - The reason
for this increase is found not in the
greater consumption of whisky by the
people of the United States, but in
various changing conditions here and
abroad. First, unusually vigorous
measures have been taken by the de-
partment to compel certain manu-.
facturers pay the required taxes on
their product. The good work of
Commissioner Osborn in this direction
is public history. Second, the large
quantity of spirits shipped from this
country to Africa to take the place of
the British product now barred from
shipment because of the European
war, is counted in the increased
consumption. During the year end
ing June 80, 1915, exports amounted
to l, ,663, 900 gallons; during the nine
months, July, 1915, to March, 1916,
5,850,000 gallons were exported.
Third, there has been a steady de-
crease in the supply Of imported Ii
quors due to difficulties of transporta-
tion. Some of the foreign distillers
have opened branches in this country,
and the taxes on their output are now
added to the internal revenue Of the
United States. Other reasons might
be given, but these suffice to show
how alert the liquorites are to seize
upon any apparent advantage furn-
ished by figures and how prone the
public is to arrive at hasty conclu-
sions. 1t is not within the province
Of the Internal Revenue Department
to interpret its report or to explain
WHERE or HOW the tax-paid liquor
is actually used.
If the brewers and distillers be-
lleve what they are loudly claiming,
that the Internal Revenue reports
prove that more liquor is sold under
prohibition than under license, we
shall find them this fall lining up
with the drys; we shall find them
during the ante-election campaign
working and spending their millions to
make six more states and the terri:
tory of Alaska dry.

FOrds' Greek Grade is Fine.

We had our first opportunity Satur-
day afternoon to ride over the new
Fords creek grade and feel that it is
the most eloquent endorsement of
good roads we ever saw. Compared
with the old grade, some places
steep, some places down hill instead
of continuing to raise, without any
uniformity, while this new grade is
uniform and easy everywhere, we could
not help but wonder why the people
have permitted their county. funds to
be expended on any other kind-the
Gilbert grade, for example. When
funds are available this grade should
be widened, making it little safer.
and also provide for more turnouts,
but these can wait till the county has
money to spare. The new grade is
fine, the very best we ever saw on
the Snake or Clearwater Canyons, and
is model for future road consrtuc-
tion. The upper end is not yet COM
pleted, but work is progressing and
will be open sometime in July, It was.

Berry CrOp Is Short.

w. H. Webb and wife were up
from their ranch below Ahsahka Mon
day with several crates of the famous
"Gold Dollar" Strawberries. var
iety that stands at the top of the list
for size and richness of flavor. Mr..
Webb is of the opinion the 1916 yield
of berries will be far below normal,
and that prices will not be as low as
last season with the big crop. His
other berries are not showing sigrs of
normal yield, and gardens, especial
ly the melons, are backward. A
small yield Ia predicted.

Crop Prospects Not Promising.

. Joe Myers and Jonn Lind were
down from the Teakean country Wed
nesday. Speaking of crops Mr.. Lind
said the season was proving unusually
dry, and unless rain comes in the
near future short crop looks certain.
Mr.. Myers, who had the misfortune
to break leg some six weeks ago.
came down to see the doctor. He
was in the act of unloading box
containing 100 pounds of salt when he
stepped into hole and fell, the box
hitting his leg and breaking it. He
is only now able OF get about.

Alaska Is Not A Cattle Country.

c. E. Cox of Ahsahka returned
Sunday from six weeks trip to Alas
ka. Mr.. Cox went by steamer from
Seattle, and had an interesting trip,
not the least of which was being sea
sick. Someone told him to lay fat
on his back, look at the sky and suck
lemon.
He was up to Cooks Inlet, and
visited Anchorage, the new town of
5000, not yet one year old. Anchor
age is where the new government
rairload will start which is to tap the
mammoth coal fields, and the thous-
ands of men now there are waiting
for the work to start. Mr.. Cox was
in the north to investigate some agri-
cultural lands, said to be great
grass section, and advertised as
wonderful cattle district. He found
the grass, growing in the ice, or on
top of ice, but also found a three
months summer and nine months of
winter, which soon settled the cattle
idea. He also saw, at some distance,
one of the noted big black bears of
that country, an animal about the size
of Galloway COW, weighing 1900
pounds, for that is how big these bear
get. They live on grass roots, ber-
ries etc. One whole day Mr.. Cox
travelled over glaciers by dog team,
and froze one of his toes. He crossed
an island, six miles in distance,
through volcanic ashes and lava.
thrown out during the terrible erup-
tion of a year or so ago, devastating
large areas of territory. This was
forty miles from the crater, yet the
island was in places many inches
deep with these ashes, and walking
was difficult. During the trip on the
inward passage his ship passed near
the famous Muir glacier, and saw
icebergs floating near. This great
glacier stands out blue and sparkling
in the crisp sun'hine, rising a hun
dred feet perpendicular from the
oceans edge. Any great vibration
from nearby ship, like the firing of
cannon, is said to send thousands of
tons of ice crashing into the sea.
Mr.. Cox and other passengers had this
strange freak demonstrated. The cap
tian, when near this glacier signaled
for the whistle and when the great
whistle sounded and shook the air
there followed this very strange sight
above described. Among the other
sights Of the north was the 48-foot
tide at Ancorage, the second greatest
in the world. During the passage
Mr.. Cox had the privilege of riding
some monster waves, his boat en-
countering some very rough sea, dur
ing which the efforts of the crew we're
devoted entirely to saving the ship.

Victor MurdOck Coming to Chautauaua.

Regardless of conflicting political
opinions, Victor Murdock of Kansas
is one of our national figures whom
true Americans admire. He has that
ringing Roosevelt punch to his
thought. speech and manner which
compels attention. Murdoch stirs an
audience; there is edge and an Incl
sive twist to his remarks that keeps
people atingle while he is speaking.
There is no rehash about Murdock.
The only thing about a Murdoch
speech that repeats is the interest
which it creates. His great lecture
"UncleSam s Tomorrow is an up-to-
the-minute eye witness exposition of
contemporary events at home and
abroad, and their bearing upon the
future.
Securing Victor Murdock for this
great circuit was a scoop for western
chautauquas, and his coming is
everywhere anticipated with interest.

habit is to determine to save dime
every day-even nickel or cent,

of thrift is to save every dime you
get, or every nickel or every penny
no matter how many you get in day.

You will never have anything unless
you save something. You cannot eat
