GRANGE MASTER
LIKES COUNTY

W. W. Deal, Master of the Idaho
State Grange, speaks most favorably
of Clearwater county. Mr.. Deal has
spent week in the county, visiting
the section east of Orofino, holding a
meeting at Pine Grange hall in the
upper Whiskey creek country. He
was impressed with the vast extent of
new country, and predicts great fu-
ture for this county.
Friday evening Mr.. Deal held an
enthus astic meeting in the Pine
Grange hall and instituted a Subor-
dinate Grange with C. E. Frear as
master and Gus A. Bashaw secretary.
State Grange Master Deal informs
the Republican that the people in
the neighborhood of Grange hall,
some II miles from stores or post
office, are now organized for aggres-
sive work for their community. One
of their first efforts will be directed
towards the establishment of some
kind of mail service, either a rural or
star route, at least twice a week.
Another thing that will be sought
will be the establishment of a general
merchandise store near Grange hall.
An effort will also be made to find
suitable name for that section Of
Clearwater county, and this will be
discussed at the next meeting of the
Grange. Some names suggested are
"Pinehall, "Grangemont. " and
'-Frear.
State Master Deal is loud in his
praise of the action of the Clearwater
county commissioners in their efforts
to build good roads throughout the
county, and especially commends the
new road leading up Whiskey creek.
Mr.. Deal states that the Idaho Grange
has bitterly opposed the action of for
mer legislatures Of Idaho in expend-
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars
of state taxes to build automobile
roads over which tourists can travel,
before suitable roads leading to the
markets and trading centers are
looked after for the benefit of the
farmers of the state. At the past
three sessions of the Idaho State
Grange the resolutions have emphat-
ically called for "roads for business
before roads for pleasure.
State Master Deal is also a minis
ter of the Methodist denomination,
and remained at Pine Grange hall
over Sunday where he held the first
church service ever held in that COM
munity, preaching to the people Sun
day afternoon. Sunday evening he
occupied the Methodist pulpit in Oro-
tino, and made strong appeal for
a more consistent faithn the teach
ings of Christ.
State Master Deal has been in the
Fraser section this week in the inter-
est of the Grange, and will probably
organize one or more strong subordin-
ate branches of the order in that part
of the county.
Tne Grange is good thing for any
community. The farmers should turn
out and hear State Master Deal and
organize for their mutual benefit.

Discourtesy Has Cost Railroads Millions.


In the May American Magazine
is an article by Fred C. Kelly which
shows how the railroads once lost
millions through discourtesy.
The famous public be damned =
policy governed railroads for great
many years, and large ratio, if not
a majority, of those railroad en-
ployees who dealt directly with the
public were crusty lot. They were
never told, or given the slightest in
centive, to be otherwise.
The consequence is that discourtesy
has cost the railroads in this country
millions of dollars. A friend of
mine analyses it in this way: A
conductor, brakeman, gateman, or
ticket agent, is the only point of con-
tact between the stockholders of a
railroad and the public. When a
afrmer's wife was discoureousy
treated by conductor, brakeman,
gateman, or ticket agent, she went
home and taught her children to fear
God and hate a railroad. Her boys
grew up to become Legislators, land
appraisers. county commissioners,
jurors, and so on. The railroads
know the rest. Public service cor
porations by means of dscouretsy
have done more to promote socialism
than the street -cornor agitators. -

Fire Insurance Goes Skyward.

Star Mirror: The Pacific board of
fire underwriters of San Francisco
has issued circulars and rate schedules
raising the fire rates in the state of
Idaho from twenty to fifty per cent,
and Idaho now has the highest insur-
ance ra,e of any state in the union,
according to local insurance agents.
So far as known, no public announce
ment was made of the action of the
board of unde writers and the public
will view the statement with some
degree of surprise.
Towns in Idaho where special rates
are in force are not affected, but the
basic rate on fire insurance elsewhere
is soaring. Under the new schedule
in effect the rates are advanced on the
buildings of the University of Idaho
80 per cent.
The circular sent out to Local fire
insurance agents in Idaho," copy of
which the Star Mirror secured, con-
tains the following paragraph as an
explanation by the Pacific board of
fire underwriters of the reason for the
advance in rates
A comparison of Book of Rates
NOD with copy of the rates and rules
now handed you will indicate clearly
an increase over rates formerly ap-
plying, and it is not unlikely you will
be called upon to explain to policy
holders the reason for such increase.
The experience of companies generally
in Idaho for number of years has
been uniformly so unsatisfactory
owing to excessive losses, that it has
been deemed advisable to readjust
rates to meet more nearly the cond-
tions prevailing.

FIXES VALUATION
 0F ELECTRIC ROAD
Republican A. p. Leased wire1

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6.-The California railroad commission fixed a valuation of s6,32S,O00 today on the electric distributing system of the Southern California Edison Company in Los Angeles in connection with its intended purchase by the city of Los Angeles. The company contended the property plus severance damages was worth $21 ,S90,066, while the munich pality set upon it a value of S3,473.S03
 The decision is the first of it's kind rendered in the United States by a public service commission and sets precedent in regard 10 the fixation of severance damages-that is the dam ages suffered to the remainder of the system by an eXcison of the Los An geles portion.
 The opinion fixed the actual value of the system at S4,750,000, allowing in addition severance damages of sl,- 57S, 000
 The decision stated that reproduction costs rather than the capitalization of the commission worked with clear understanding of the necessity of an award which, by it's fairness, would encourage further investments of capi- tai in the state.
 Financial interests all over the coun- try have been watching for the decision for months.

 HEADED TO GRAVE

Several hundred people attend ed the funeral of little Harry Aarons, held yesterday afternoon at the Maus undertaking parlors. The funeral cortege which fol- lowed the body of the young lad to the grave was one of the largest which ever passed through the streets of Phoenix.
 Barnet F. Marks delivered a talk in which he dwelt upon the un- flinching courage with which the youngster faced poverty and over came the obstacles placed in his way by sickness and diversity.
 About fifty young boys, compan- ions and co-workers of the dead boy. marched bareheaded behind the hearse carrying the body to the grave Flowers sent by sorrowing friends of all ages were heaped about the casket. Interment was in the Jewish cemetery on the Buck eye road.
