EXCITEMENT IN
Thu: Sank COUNTY
DEMOCRATIC CAMP

ty in Sank county met at the Demo
crat office on Monday evening and
some excitement ensued. When the
meeting was called to order it was
found there was an unusual number
of proxies held by some of the mem
ebrs, and in one case town commit
teeman had given two proxies to two
different persons. Legal advice had
been sought on this point from res
ident Judge, and he decided the last
proxy was the one that had the prop
er color. There was also some evil
dence, so one Of those present states,
that it was the intention Of those
holding the proxies to transact the
business to their taste, regardless Of
the wishes Of those present who
might have opinions otherwise. 1t
soon became evident that in order to
transact the business before the
meeting that it would be necessary
to throw out the proxies, and this was
done. This left some of the old Off
GERS high and dry, and new ones were
elected, as follows:
hairman-Attorney V. H. Cady,

John w. HOyey Dead.

Kooskia, April l8 After an ILL
ness extending over period of but
little more than two weeks, the SER
iousness of which did not manifest it
self until last Sunday evening at 6
O'Clock, John w. Hovey, proprietor
of the Riverside hotel at this place,
and one of the best known residents
of the upper Clearwater country, died
at his hotel yesterday afternoon at
2 80 o'clock, death being caused by
an accute attack of heart trouble.
Mr.. Hovey was rs years of age,
the last IA years being spent as pro-
prietor of the hotel. He was first
taken i'll about two weeks ago, but
seemingly had fully recovered his
health and up to the time of taking to
his bed last Sunday evening, he was
about the hotel as usual. Last SUM-
day evening he began to sink, and il
was then seen that there was little
hope for his recovery.
Mr.. Hovey is survived by a wife,
three sons and two daughters, the
children being: George, Foster and
Ralph. and Mrs. Maude Parry and
Mrs. Della Palmer, all residents of
Kooskia with the exception of Mrs.
Palmer, who arrived from Walla
Walla this afternoon.

HOlsclaw Is A Delegate.

A A. Holsclaw of St. Maries has
been named as one of the democratic
delegates to the state convention of
that party. The party must be hard
up for material. Hosclaw will prob
ably next be running for county at
torney in his new home county. He
served one term in this capacity in
Clearwater county and was the fellow
who couldn't discover any bootleg
ing in Elk River during time when
booze was pouring into that town in
broad daylight by the carload. He
was the fellow who dismissed bootleg
cases ''for lack of evidence when
these same bootleggers, arrested on
the same charge by County Attorney
Smith, plead guilty, and Mr.. Hols-
claw was their attorney. So Hols-
claw ought to make Benewah county
a fine county attorney. He is there
with the goods, and don't you forget
it.

lewiston Missoula Road.

The following appeared in a recent
issue of the Lewiston Tribune.
The Lewiston business men will
extend their activities toward high
way construction beyond the limits of
the Lewiston highway district and
VIII endeavor to secure favorable act
ion by the board of county commits
sloners for the construction of "A high
way along Clearwater river above Ar
row junction. These plans were dis
closed yesterday at the meeting of
the Commercial club when President
Z. K. Bevis stated that K. l.. Spiker
is engaged in the organization of a
delegation to go before the commits
sioners and ask for some action that
would bring about the highway con-
struction along the upper Clearwater.
"A plan for river highway has
been under discussion for several
years and Clearwater county has in
dicated its willingness to join in the
plans and has inaugurated construc-
eioh Worh dl numDer OF points
where such improvements will fit in
to. the plans for river highway that
Will conform to the plans and spec
ifications of the state highway sys-
tenn.
The plans to be proposed to the
commissioners provide for the open
ing of three miles of new highway
this year. 1t is stated much volun-
teer work would be furnished by resi-
dents of the district affected and that
by getting the work under way it is
felt the matter of extending the road
to the Nez Perce- Clearwater county
line can be successfully handled
Attorney W. G. Counter gave not
ice to the board that he would later
ask that the Commercial club join in
the movement to secure the construc-
tion of highway from Leland to Fir
Bluff on the Clearwater. 1t is ex-
planned this highway would connect
the Potlatch country with the pro-
posed river highway and would serve
a large community. 1t would bring
large section to the Clearwater
river that now is practically isolated
from transportation facilities.

Jim Blake Loses In Damage Suit.

him if that was the kind Of bank he
was running. and fried the sweat out
of Mr.. Blake and riddled his testi-
mony. As a further evidence that
Blake ard others were not stating
facts, MIR. Molloy had his bank book.
showing that on October 30th, after
the fight, Jim Blake had loaned him
SO, 000, and that on January 2S, three
months later, had deposited $4,000 in
the Fidelity bank and paid the loan,
for which jim Blake would accept no
interest from Molloy, showing that
the story about being mad at Molloy
and firing him out of the bank on
June 2l, 1918, was an untruth, and
that jim Blake knew it. That John
Molloy was telling the truth was plain
to the jury, and that Jim Blake was
not was equally plain. More than
this Mr.. Strickfadden evidence was
to the effect that while Molloy was
not in the bank at the particular time
the fight occurred, that Mr.. Molloy
did visit the bank and have access to
bank records as much as one year
after the time Mr.. Blake swore that
Molloy was not permitted in the
bank. So Mr.. Blake's own witness
corroborated Mr.. Molloy and gave
the lie to James w. Blake, president
of the Fidelity bank of Orofino.
Blair Hoar, now receiver of the
Lewiston land office, whom Mr.. Mol
10y swore was not in the bank at the
time, swore he was present; that he
walked into the bank immediately
after Miller, and didn' see anything
of Molloy; that he went out to the
toilet and was gone about ten min
utes, and that on his return to the
bank the fight was just starting, and
that he saw it all. Mr.. Hoar also
swore that during the month of Oct
ober Molloy was out of Orofno col
lecting taxes. But bank book of
deposits showed that Molloy was not
collecting taxes during October; that
on October %, eight days after the
fight, he did make one collection of
taxes. More than this Blake, Srick-
fadden, Cook and Molloy all swore
and agreed in their evidence that the
fight strated from three to five min
utes after Miller entered the bank.
Therefore Hoar was twice caught in a
trap that made his testimony look
like distress signal for Blake s
benefit.

Orofino Can DO II. WHY Not,

Orotino is facing a critical point in
the history of the town. After
years of waiting for timber opera
tlons to start, and after hoping
against hope that Orofino might enjoy
some of the accruing business, it is
now possible all, or much, at least,
of our immense forests are to be
diverted over a branch of the Mil
waukee via Big Island Unless
some of this business comes down
the river, and unless the N. P. rail-
road builds into the timber via Oro-
tino, this section will be hard hit, and
business depression will naturally fol-
low for several years. Instead of
growing, Orofino will go backward.
1t will suffer business depression
for several years, and real estate
values will shrink. People who can
will move where labor is employed
and business is good.
We are not pessimistic. But we
are not blind to facts. And the pur-
pose of mentioning this matter thus
plainly is to forestall possible busi-
ness disaster. Orofino is not depen4
dent on timber for its prosperity and
growth. Here is town possessing,
within its borders, vast deposits of
Lime and cement. Already has
start been made to develope this i'm
mense business. For years our lime
plant was a big success, employing
labor and using home products, fur
nishing tonnage for the railroad,
and paying we'll for the money in
vested. Today it might pay even
better since there is now a market
for ground limerick for Palouse
country farms.
The Orofino cement deposits, as fine
and large as may be found anywhere
in the world, will afford employment
for 200 men, enough to insure per-
manent prosperity for a town of two
thousand.
The time is ripe for Orofino to
take things into its own hands and
make its own prosperity. 1t is with
in our power to do something for
ourselves, and that regardless of what
timber companies may do. If we get
business from timber very we'll, but
the future growth and prosperity of
Orofino is not necessarily dependent
on saw mills.
The thing needed is "PEP.
The essential thing is unity. 1t is
high time to get together and devote
the energy of all factions along lines
calculated to produce business and
employment for labor here at home.

Spring Selection and Treatment
of Seed Potatoes,

Select seed Tubers which are true
to type and which have the size and
shape desired.
Select seed tubers which are free
from rots.
Select seed tubers which are as
free from scab and rhizocotonia as
possible.
Treat the tubers one and one-half
hours in the corrosive sublimate dip
or in the formalin dip.
When cutting seed tubers discard
all which show discoloration in the
stem ends.
Put the treated tubers in clean or
treated sacks and keep them away
from tubers which have not been
treated.
Plant in land which has not had
potatoes recently.
The corrosive sublimate dip is
made by dissolving ounces of corro-
sive sublimate in 80 gallons of water.
Do not mix in metal container.
This solution is very poisonous. Any
treated tubers which are not planted
should be burned or buried. Use
new solution after fourth dipping.
Owing to the recent advance in the
price of commercial corrosive subli-
mate this treatment is quite expen-
sive.
The formalin dip is made by mix
ing one pint Of commercial formalde-
hyde in rs gallons of water.
Both dips mentioned above are
effective for common scab, but the
corrosive sublimate dip is more effect
i've for rhizoctonia.

Get The Chautauqua Spirit.


The Chautauqua is the biggest
thing that has ever been attempted
by Orotino. 1t is almost too big an
undertaking for so small town, and
can succeed only if all the people get
behind it and make it success.
Lincoln Mcconnell says: ''What
the county fair is to agricultural life,
what the exposition is to manufactur-
ing and industrial life, what the re-
vival is to the church-that is what
the Chautauqua is to the educational
and social life of the community. 1t
is the most unique outgrowth of the
twentieth century conditions, and it
has come to stay.
Chautauqua is still quite a few
weeks away, but it is none too early
to begin imbibing the spirit that
makes Chautauquas great institutions.
First of all the Chautauqua is worth
while. No other event, upon which
you would put like amount of time
and energy as you will for the Chaut-
auqua will bring to you such complete
happiness, and realization that you
have done something of merit for your
community.
The Chautauqua is sane. 1t is a
Fourth of July lasting whole week
1t brings the best in music, lectures,
entertainment and literature to your
door and it never needs to apologize
for the program it gives. 1t is just
what you want it to bean ideal en-
tertainment that meets the standards
you have set for that boy or girl of
yours. When the Chautauqua has
closed, it has left in the minds of the
people of your community memories
of week well spent and desire for
more. Once the Chautauoua always
the Chautauqua. Get the Chautau.
qua spirit.

NUMBER 5
Crum Will Be Nominated.

According to returning delegates
from the republican state convention
at Twin Falls sentiment is over
whe lmingly favorable to George Crum
of Lewiston. The Latah county del
egates are reported to have said that
had it been left to a vote of the 400
and more delegates to the recent re-
publican state convention Mr.. CruRl
would have been nominatd by big
majority over all competition. 1t
seems to be the sentiment in the
south that the north is entitled TO
the governorship this year. and that
Mr.. Crum is the right man for this
job.
So far as the Republican can learn
there is no sentiment of any conse-
quence in any section of Idaho for
Herman Taylor as the republican
nominees for governor, and the only
apparent reason Mr. Taylor has
entered is to split, if possible, the
north, and thus throw the governor
once more to south Idaho. A decent
regard for the interests of north
Idaho would have dictated another
policy on the part of Herman Taylor.
But since the Twin Falls convention
1t looks like Crum would win in
walk in spite any handicap the Tay-
Tor announcement will entail.
