Charge Of Violating Game Laws.

E. E. Bellomy, formerly deputy
sheriff in Clearwater county, is in
the tolls of the law, charged with
various violations of the Idaho and
Washington game laws. A Charleston
Dispatch dated December l3, in the
Lewiston Tribune, says:
The case of the State VS.. E. f.
Bellomy, who was arrested Saturday
on the charge of having deer meat un-
lawfully in his possession, was heard
today at 10 o'clock o'clock in the
court of Justice George l.. Ackley,
and the defendant was discharged on
ly to be rearrested on similar
charge. II appaers the prosecuting
attorney and the states chief wit
ness, one Bass Hibbs. deputy game
warden for Nez Perce county, failed
TO appear and the court dismissed Bel
lomy. Bellomy was rearrested for
having deer meat IN his possession in
the State of Washington. since he did
not have shipping permit and an
affidavit showing where he secured
the meat. Attorney Chas. Mcdonald
of Lewiston is defending Bellomy
Hibbs received tip that Mr.. Bel
lomy, who had been on his homestead
near Orofino for a week, had two deer
which he had shipped out of Idaho in
to Washington. A search warrant
was swore out in Asotin county and
the Bellomy home in Charleston
searched with the result that two deer
we're found. 1t is alleged they are

Firing the |. w. W's.

The following notice is reported to
have been posted by the Potlatch
Lumber Company in all its camps
around Bovill, and presumably at Elk
River, if the Deciples of Anti-Sweat
have gotten that far:
''To the employees of the Potlatch
Lumber Company: 1t is we'll
known fact that the l. w. W's have
made trouble in other places and have
caused good mer to leave permanent
jobs and steady employment where the
l. w. w. have become numerous and
.disturbers of the peace, and as they
have recently been agitating more or
less among our employees, it has be-
come necessary for the protection of
the better citizens and our mutual in
terests to discharge all members of
the l. w. W. and those in sympathy
with their past actions in other
places.
Other employers should do the
same thing. There is no place in
America for this class, and employers
who tolerate them will later pay for
their folly. The place for these
buns is back in Europe from whence
most of them came, or from which
their parents came. Had the country
had laws to exclude paupers and the
illiterate, few of their breed would
be here, and if the day ever comes
when the l. w. w. get foothold
there will be little left of popular
government, liberty, freedom, prop
erty rights or business in the United
States.

The materials at Orofno are very
pure uniform lime stone in large
quantities, lying adjacent to large
bed of clay of the right composition
for Portland cement manufacture,
both materials lying adjacent to and
above an ideal millsite on the Nor
thern Pacific railroad, less than half
mile from the depot on the Clear
water branch. Coal can he laid down
at reasonable figure; excellent
water is available near by; trans
portation facilities are good; the
market is large and the price high.
The limestone is also of an almost
pure calcite, crystalline, lare Trained
soft and friable, in consequence Of
which it will be easy to quarry and
grind, an important consideration.

morning Mr.. Bellomy crossed the
bridge into Lewiston and was immed
lately arrested on charge of violat-
ing the Idaho game law. 1t is al
legged Mr.. Bellomy had no license to
hunt in Idaho.
Bellomy sets up as defense that
he did not kill the game; that it was
given to him. The venison, over
which there is trouble, is being held
in the Bristol Cold Storage market
at Asotin, and if Washington law
holds the meat will be sold and the
proceeds credited to the fund for
maintaining county indigents. If
Idaho authorities acquire it then it
must be sold at public auction. 1t
looks like Mr.. Bellomy would stands

meat this winter however the cat
jumps. 1t is sort of "'heads

HoIstein Bull Brings $2I,5OO.

All previous records at the Port
land, Oregon, Pacific International
Livestock Exposition were broken last
week when, at a public auction, a
yearling Holstein bull sent to the
show for sale, brought the fabulous
figure of $2l, 500 The animal was
from New Jersey, and was purchased
by John Won Herberg, big motion
picture house man of Portland and
Seattle. The bidding for this bull
was of the most spirited nature, six
breeders going after this prize.
After the bidding passed $40, 900 some
dropped out, but the competition went
on till the record price was offered
and the animal knocked off. The
animal is considered the best of the
Holstein breed in the country, if not
in the entire world. His dam, Fin
derne Mutual Fayne, was the world s
record junior two-year- old, giving 200
pounds more butter than any other
cow Of her class. She produced 1850
pounds in II months. His sire is a
son Of the first 40pound COW of the
breed
Bidders were John l.. Smith, of
Spokane; E A. Smith. of Sumas,
Wash. ; Guy Richard, of the Donny-
brook Farm, Bothel, Wash. William

An Appeal.

One hunrded and twenty-eight were
in attendance at the Methodist Sunday
School last Sunday. 1t was beauti-
full sight to see the innocent faces of
the little tots anxious for the lesson
and the stories the teachers had for
them. There was also fine crowd
of older boys and girls, with perhaps
the largest number of young men
and women ever gather in Orofino
in Sunday School. But with this
inspiring scene before us there was
one sad feature the absence of the
parents of these children and young
people. making it difficult to secure
teachers for the classes. Another
sad feature its that these boys and
girls will leave Sunday School when
they are little older because their
parents and older friends say by
their actions, the Sunday School and
church is not of sufficient impoi tance
to claim their attention and time. |
appeal to the adult population of Oro-
fino, come to Sunday School The
contest between the Reds and Blues
is very close. The Blues are gaining.
Then come because the S. S. needs
you. Come because you need the S.

will have on others. Come because
you are duty bound to God and man to

velop beyond our most sanguine
dreams. and our vast raw materials
cannot lay dormant.
Let us, therefore, look with hope
to the future, and enter the coming

saio that no town in the Northwest
has been so richly endowed by Nature
with vast natural resources, the de-

golden future that is held in store for

tory?

In some towns Il ere are ordinances
to the effect that the snow must be
81 oveled off the walks each day, ,r
the street overseer will have it done
for you and charge it up to the Prop
erty. But. since the high cost of
living is in vogue these days it wou Id
perhaps be cheaper to make an old
board ST ovel and beat the street over
seer cut of job by doing our own
shoveling each morning. not because
our neighbor will appreciate it. but
because we want to make him work
too. A selfish interest, perhaps, but
why not?

here where You Can Smell the Birthstone.
Pacific Banker: We have been
dubbed" the Billy Sunday of the
banking business, and you can bet
your bottom dollar we are going to
hand out the rough stuff hereafter,
on this miserable, villainous, scan-
dalous overdraft evil. Billy says:
- ainty little preachers tell the.r
congregations that if they do not
pent they will go to place,
name of which is we'll knwo>
them but. he says, Il tell them
they don't repent they will ga
straight to hell. ''Cut OUT the
overdraft habit or it's fire and brim-
stone" for you.
If you want loan, for the love of
Mike, come in and ask for it. Be a
man and do business imam fashion,
Your banker wants to know how much
money you want, but he never knows
how much money you are going to use
when you begin to oevrdraw your ac-
count. He has a right to know be-
forehand, how long you want it, what
rate of interest you are willing to
pay, and all about it. He has right
to know. Maybe you owe him more
now than you ought to. Perhaps he
will ask you how much you are owing
other people. He has right to
know that, too, especially if you ex-
pect money without security. The
banker loans his money on his judg-
ment, not yours. When you over
draw your account you are ''forcLg'
loan. You are taking mean ad-
vantage of your banker. You aren't
treating him with common decercy.
You are running bluff" pure and
simple. You are daring him to
turn down your check. You are
asking him to commit crime by
'misappropr ating'' the banks
funds. You are asking him to lay
himself liable to arrest and imprison-
ment. You never thought of it in
that hight, did you?
Drawing checks on a mo account"
account, is an imposition. Cashing
checks with other peoples money is
fraudulent banking.
1t is not fair. 1t is a cowardly
trick. 1t is bad habit. We are
going to break you of the habit, or
break our necks TRYING. We will
make any man. who can assign one
good and sufficient reason why this
habit should be tolerated, a present
of 81, 900 in cold cash.
The overdraft habit is primarily
responsible for most of the bank fail
ures. Bank suspensions are, usually,
the result of bad loans. These
bad loans We're. for the most part,
originally. overdrafts which the
banker in his dilemma took notes for
to clean up the books. He took the
little red devils" off the daily bal
ance and put hell in the bill case.
SeeY We are not going to contract
lot of bad loans through the overdraft
evil. so you'd better "cut it out" or
we'll do it for you.
Why, the man with gun tells US t.
''hand it over" but the o. D. fellow
helps himself without as much as say

Electric Lights on the Bum

Last week a slide took out sec
tion of f]ume of the power plant near
Grangeville that generates electric
power for the light company, and
crippled the service at Orotino and
other places on the system. The Oro-
fino steam plant and the Lolo power
plant have been doing the best they
can to meet the emergency, but are
not equal TO the load The lights
have been dim and the power weak,
but repairs are being rushed and the
old service will soon be again in
force.
The Orofino village council at the
meeting Monday night ordered the
clerk to take the matter up with the
local agent and the Spokane office,
protesting against the poor service
The council wants the company to
provide sufficient auxiliary plants to
meet the demand in case of accident
to one of the power plants, insuring
uninterrupted service under al cir
about 81, 800 per month for electric
power, said one of the village
councilmen, ''and the company can
afford to gives us first class service. +"
The Republican operates by electric
power, and poor service inconveni-
ences it as much as al yone, but we
would suggest that nothing that will
increase the cost of service unneces-
sarily be done, since the public must
eventually pay the cost. If the cleo
trio company must maintain duplicate
plants for emergency service, which
means the investmnet of large sums
of capital, the consumer must be pre-
pared to stand for higher rates, and
we can well afford to put up with the
occasional bum service that results
from accidents such as the slide that
swept away a section of water fume
at the Middle Fork power plant last
week. Let us be reasonable for our
own good
The state allows public service cor
porations in Idaho to net eight per
cent. on the investment, and the
Grangeville company, serving Oro-
fino. will be permitted to fix its rates
to meet this reasonable profit for the
service.
