Here's a Taste Of Free Trade.

Asotin Sentinel-Apropos of the
Royal Anne Cherry story of Paulha-
mus, showing that under the present
tariff law these cherries can be raised
in Italy and sent to Cincinnati and to
other points in the Central West for
less than the fruit grower in Wash
ington can raise them, this being due
largely to the cheap labor employed in
Italy, it might be we'll for the fruit
growers of Washington to remember
that Senator Poindexter not only vot-
ed for the law that makes this poss-
ible, but, in long free trade argu-
ment in the senate, pointed out that
this law that placed not only cherries
and other fruits, but lumber, shingles,
eggs and dairy products on the free
list, ,Aas we'll as most all other pro-
duets produced in our state, would be
great blessing to the farmers of the
state of Washington. This was at a
period when the psychological SEN
ator had temporarily once more Joined
the. democratic party. The fruit
grower in Italy and the poultry
raiser in China, the dairyman of Aus
tralia and New Zealand and the lum-
herman of British Columbia would
no doubt be greatly pleased to have
Senator PoindeXtor reelected.

IDAHO BOY in
ENGLISH ARMY

Star Mirror: According to word
just received by Professor Axtell,
Ralph Foster, who is Rhodes scolor
from Idaho, recently passed through
thrilling experience. He was on
the Maloja in the straits of Dover
enroute to Egypt where he has been
assigned to the Y. M. c. A. work,
when the ship struck a mine evidently
planted by the German submarines.
AS is always the case when such ac-
cidents occur, the ship sank immedi-
ately, even before the life boats could
be cleared. Mr.. Foster procured a
life belt and threw himself into the
water when the ship had listed so far
as to make further efforts with the
life boats useless. He spent over an
hour in the water, clinging to wreck
age from the ship until he was finally
picked up by British trawler.
Mr.. Foster was graduated from the
University of Idaho in 1918. While
here his school work was of the highest
order. In 1912 he won the Watkins
medal for oratory and after gradua.
tion he received the Rhodes scholorshiE
appointment. At Oxford he was study.

Assessor Hinckley is Complimented.

Assessor Hinckley has been COM
plimented by Dean Perkins of Boise,
representing the state board of equal
ization, for his inauguration of the
Somers' tax system in Clearwater
county. Mr.. Perkins visited Orofino
this week in his official trip over the
state, looking up valuations for the
use of the state board. He will re-
commend that the district meetings,
now in vogue in this county, be adopt
ed in every county in Idaho. Taking
the people into the various school
districts and letting them equalize
and assess themselves is the fairesi
and best method yet tried. and the
whole state is going to adopt it. OF
course, if the Orofino Tribune will
let the people. AS compared with
other counties Mr.. Perkins said Clear
water county valuations as fixed this
year by Assessor Hinckley are fail
and equitable.

TRADE AT HOME
AND SAVE MONEY

Kendrick Gazette: A peddler selling
baking bowder at SOC pound gave as
a premium zoe bucket and with the
commission of 10 per cent to the ped
dler and an allowance to the owner of
the institution of overhead, made the
cost of the premium and expense 40c
of the SOC, thereby leaving but lOc
for baking powder, yet giving the
public the impression that it is get
ting baking powder that is worth
SOC in price.
Practically every one of the ped
dlers sell baking bowder at SOC a
pound and the consuming public, in
it's insatible appetite for premiums,
pays this amount when every one in
formed knows that the same grade of
baking bowder can be purchased at
any grocer store at l0c or at saving
of 4Oc over what they paid to the ped
dler.
The tremendous net profits of the
peddler and their heavy overhead
charges, including commission to the
drivers and cost of premiums, make
them vulnerable to effective attack
and any retail grocer who wants tt
regain the lost sales due to the in.
roads of the peddler should have M
difficulty in convincing any housewife
that she is being imposed upon in the
j most brazen manner, and that little
heart heart talk with customers
one at a time, will get the business
from every customer who has not los
her sense or desire to get her money
worth.
In the face of such evidence, i
presented to the consuming public, i
is beyond reason to believe that tn
consumers, or at least the larger pro
portion of them, would not see tn
error of their way. In order to &C
complish this, however the groce
ought to go about it Systematically
taking one customer at time an
thoroughly educating her. Ono
educated, the Establishment of tn
premium of the peddler will not hav
the attraction it does without know
ing the real facts as to how the ped
dler operates and what it means to tn
customer.

County Board in Session.

The county board met Monday in
adjourned session. Road matters are
being considered. The matter of
building bridge at Ahsahka has
been up and may receive favorable at
tention. The survey has already beer
made and the cost estimated at $l8,
600. If possible this bridge should
be built, and there will probably be
no objection from any quarter. A
delegation from the Fraser district
was down relative to a new roac
near Herb Eller's place. Another
delegation called on the board rela
tive to new road in district 6.

Some of the democratic state
papers, in excusing orr trying Ito ex-
plain why Nose Alexander, as COVER
nor, failed to save that million
dollars, exclaim that Nose didn't
have all the Legislature with him.
But, may it please the court, that
was not any part of the promise Nose
Alexander made when he campaigned
the state. He said: Elect ME,
Nose Alexaner of Boise, governor of
Idaho, and l WILL SAVE 81, 600, 900

the Legislature adjourned Nose Alex
ander published an itemized statement
showing Saving in excess of the

promise" !"

that Nose Alexander did have enough
; to control legislation. He did have
the veto power, and bills that Nose

, through. However, remember that
the promise was to reduce taxes by

One of the Old Gangs Victims.

Mrs. w. S. Bisson of Grangeville
visited Orofino Tuesday, coming here
to see her husband who is confined in
the sanitarium. Two of the little
girls are at the Children's Home in
Lewiston. Since leaving Orofino the
Bissons have had hard luck, Mr.. Bis
son having had no steady employment,
and unable to support the family.
The Bisson family were victims of
the Frisco earthquake, being sent to
Moscow when refugees from the dis
aster were given free railroad trans
portation and taken wherever they
wished to go. The family was helped
by the people and Mr.. Bisson, good
typesetter, was able to get some en-
ployment. The Republican editor

week, Moscow office taking the

Damon and Pythias.

Damon and Pythias, which comes to
the Rex Tuesday evening, March 81,
is one of the greatest dramas ever
written. In New York, instead of
the usual 10, Is and 25 cent admission
to the moving picture, this great fl I'm
drew packed houses at from 25 cents
to 81. 1t is worth the extra price,
and Orofino is fortunate in having an
opportunity to see it. Few small
towns get this class of moving picture
films. The expense is heavy and
packed houses are required to break
even. The story of true fraternal de.
votion will live as long as men live
and love the best that is in man.

said he was little off when they put
him in but he wasn't bit crazy now.
Another said conspiracy had been
Matched Up against him, and in some
way he had been inveigled into the
asylum, but he was not crazy. An
other didn't know how he got there,
nor any reason why he was being
kept, and then confdentially informed
the Republican editor that he was the
greatest genius that had ever been
born, and should be out delivering

we heard another inmate say: ''He s

Saving Another Million Dollars.

Governor Alexander has been lam
basting other state officials, ascribing
to himself all the virtue and honesty
and goodness around the state capital.
He has posed as the one man in all
this state who could be trusted by the
people, anxious to bleed and die in
defense of the public treasury. And
yet, in an authorized statement recent
ly appearing, Secretary of State
Barker accuse Governor Alexander of
using state employees on state time for
his private affairs, including his sec.
retary, who is also editor Of the Cap
ital News. Mr.. Barker cites one in
stance coming under his personal not
ice. The governor, he says, wanted
to borrow stenographer from his
office, and, on the assumption she was
to be used for the transaction of state
business, Barker acquiesced. 1t de-
veloped that the governor had used
her to dictate three column lauda-
tory article of himself concerning one
of his trips which appeared the next
day in the Boise Capital News, the
