George Gnnde Heard From.

George W. Goode, the hoosKia at
torney, VINO was committed to the
Orofino sanitarium, is now in Asotin,
Wash, practicing law. The Repub-
ljcan heard from Mr.. Goode few
days ago, and the letter said that
George was getting along we'll. 1t
was thought by many that the case
against Mr.. Goode was not just, and
that it was stretching the law to the
limit to warrant his detention on a
charge of mental arrangement of a
character to Justify depriving the man
of his liberty. That he holds spirit
ual beliefs unreasonable to many is
true, but it is also true that the be-
tiefs held by Goode are also held by
thousands Of other people whose
sanity is not questioned, and if Mr..
eIoode is unsafe to be at large. then
t would seem that all who hold
similar beliefs ought to be locked up.
However, We have never qualified as
mental expert, and do not pretend
60 know Just where the line between
sanity and insanity lies. We dc
know, however, that most of Us have
our peculiarities, and that things OF
lelietS that were once considered
crazy have later become accepted
generally. People called Columbus
crazy and believed him insane because
no insisted the world was round. May
It not be possible that thought waves
can be Transmitted just as wireless,
messages are sent through miles OF
space?

LaForest Home DESTROYED by Fire.

The home of T. j. LaForest was
destroyed Saturday afternoon by fire.
Mr.. LaForest was not at home, and
Mrs. LaForest had gone to the garden
a few feet away to feed the chickens
while Joe, sen of Z years. was play
ing at the house. The boy says he
tried to light candle when he set
fire to a curtain IN the kitchen and
in moment the entire building was
in flames. Mrs. LaForest did manage
TO get few chairs from the parlor,
while somebody rescued the sewing
machine. She was unable to reach
the phone to notify anyone but neigh
bors aW the fire and word was in
Orofino in few minutes but the
house was doomed before anyone could
get there. Autos soon rushed men TO
the foot of the hill and crowd got
there and by hard work carried water
and saved the barn and other build
ings. 1t was a hot fire while it
lasted and baked thousands of green
apples hanging on the trees out a
hundred feet from the house. The
green fir trees standing between the
house ana barn probabl, saved the
stable.

asked eight and half for one
fine black Polled Angus calf, which
price was not too high; | hoofed it
west, hoofed it east, endeavoring to
sell the beast, but no one wished to
buy. Day after DAY toiled alone,
and bored men with the same old
song, Il have a calf for sale; | ask
eight bones and fifty cents for this
unequaled critter, gents-who will dig
Jp the kale?' Then said friend,
"Oh, rest your feet, and quit your
wearing out the street, and bowling
by the year; spend fifty cents and
advertised your sawed off COW of pock-
ct size, and buyers will appear. II
followed up that sane advice, and put
my jaded feet on ice an when the ad
appeared, ten Customers came 20 my
gate; an bought the calf an paid the
freight, and the others buckle and
reared. And thus, by printing little
ads, the wise man gathers in the scads

Lest We Forget.

In connection with the Nease cruise
case might one inquire what Pat
Blake's man German, employed at
county expense to protect the public,
was doing? Mr.. German was i'm
ported from the state of Washington,
there being no honest cruisers in all
of Clearwater county, said the Blake
county Officials and the Blake county
paper. So our county officers i'm
ported an honest cruiser, one Cor
man of Spokane, and paid him lot
of good county money, money that
helped to pile up debt of Sl26, 900,
ard now we discover that Nease
cru sed thousands of acres of burns,
large areas of state and government
lands, and that the cruise is un-
reliable, inaccurate and rotten.
What was German doing? Mention
of this is made for just one reason
to show the wrong that has been done
some forty or more citizens of Clear
water, and to vindicate local cruisers
from the unwarranted imputations
rejecting on their character.

No country in the world excels
Orofno when it comes to raising
cherries. We refer to the Lambert
cherry, remember. This variety
seems specially adapted to conditions
fonud here, and is the finest, both for
size and flavor, we have ever seen.
Think of cherries so large you need
to bite them and eat them in pieces.
Cherries too large for one at bite
When ripe our Lamberts are dark
chocolate, almost black, and might
be taken for plums by a tenderfoot
Besides their other qualities these
cherries are great keepers, and will
stand shipping a long distance.

such as timber people make to deter
mine whether or not piece of timber
is worth cruising. That is all there
is to the Nease cruise, except, per
haps, the first work done, which was
reasonably accurate. The evidence
at the trial shows a most deplorable
set of facts. Original cruise books
show some of the land was cruised in
camp, i. e., that the caruisers guess
ed, and in at least one instance marked
as burned a tier of forties covered
with white pine. The work was
rank, raw, rotten and ridiculous. To
call it joke is to put it mildly.
There is, for instance. according to
this S64, 600 Nease guess, one of the
seven wonders of the world within
our county, for Nease discovered a
creek running uphill; creek whose
altitude is LOCO feet higher at its
mouth than where it starts, and it
isn't long creek either.
The Nease cruisers found red fir or
tamarac or cedar where these varieties
do not exist; the plats show burns
where timber stands, and timber
where burns exist. For this guess
a county board, for what reason only
Heaven and the Blake gang know,
saddled debt on the backs of the
people, and bankrupt treasury and
the immediate election of republi-
can county board is all that saved the
people from paying this unjust and
unwarranted Indebtedness.

Will Try for Commissioner.

Semour Snyder was down from We
ippe Monday, filing his nomination
papers for commissioner of the first
district. His papers were signed by
Joe Larson of Weippe, and Mr.. Sny-
der says he will be the republican
nominee this fall. Weippe is asking
for the commissionership this year on
the ground that it belongs to that sec
tion by right. They point out that
Pierce has had it one term. Greer
one term. and that Weippe should
have it one term. Mr., Snyder as
pired for this place on the republican
ticket two years ago, but at that
time failed to get the support of the
members of his party in his precinct,
and so he dropped out of the race,
taking his medicine gracefully This
year some who opposed him two years
ago have united in the demand for his
nomination, prominent among them
being Joe Larson, who nominates

to the assessor He cannot, as it il
claimed, place valuation upon the
timbered lands without it; it il
practically his only source of infor.
nation. If this be true, manifestly
these unsworn, unofficial, non resident
cruisers have, in effect, if not in
form, fixed the value OF this vast
acreage of timbered lands for assess
ment purposes. The assessor sits in
his office, and, imputing verify to the
information thus furnished him,
values the land accordingly. He can
exercise no judgment or discretion,
for by hypothesis his Office knows no
facts other than those disclosed by
these reports. The assessment comes
to be matter of making certain
computations and entering the result
thereof upon the assessment book,
merely clerical function. Plainly,
therefore, by this contract the in
terests both of the public and of the
taxpayers We're in effect committed
to nom resident cruisers, unofficiaIIv
employed, without official RESPONSE
bility and exempt from official di-
rection or control. 1t is not sug-
gested by the plaintiff that the re-
ports would constitute competent
evidence in any statutory proceeding
or judicial hearing. That being so.
the board of equalization could not
properly weigh them as against
proper showing made by taxpayer
in his efforts to reduce or prevent the
increase of proposed valuation of
his property.

The United States court holds that
the price was greatly in excess Of a
reasonable compensation for that
which was actually done. The con
tract called for a complete cruise,
says the court, while the evidence
shows the Nease cruise was inaccur-
ate, unreliable and poor.
The court found from the evidence
that there was much mere estimating
rather than actual measurements, and
that on the Nease maps the informa-
tion was misleading. tending to leave
the impression that Nease bad given
the county double run cruise.
The court found that the county
board had issued warrants to Nease in
payment for cruising lands which were
not within the terms of the contract.
On this point the court says:
THE fifth defense is that in part
the warrants cover claims for the
cruising of lands which are not with
in the terms of the contract. The
facts urder this head are simple and
practically undisputed. The contract
calls for the cruising of the patented
lands of the county. Upon the plats
returned by Nease it is shown that his
claims covered, and warrants were is
sued for, little more than ITO, 900
acres of untimbered lands, that is,
lands embracing legal subdivisions of

The Cows as an Ally of the Drys.

Leading scientists of the Pasteur
Institute have discovered that cows
milk is one of the most powerful
stimulants known. 1t keys up the
human system without interfering
with common sense and clear Judge
ment. Milk has been the only
"bracer' used for months by the
French soldiers in the trenches and
it is said that liberal use of it
before going into battle has had such
wonderful effect that the French gov
ernment is urging its sale in prefer
ence to other soft drinks when the
men are off duty. ''.As mild as
milk is a phrase now quite out Of
date. Tell it to soldier and civilian,
to pugilist and pacifist, that their old
friend, the COW, furnishes stimulant
as vitalizing as the product of distiI-
lery and brewery is devitalizing
The discovery will mean much to the
farmer and cattle raiser, to the cap
tain of industry, to the workingmsu
and to everybody who desires to con-
serve his personal health, safety,
happiness and prosperity

Clearwater County Wins Sweeping Victory Nease Cruising
Case Involving $4,000 Repudiated by Republican Board

The Clearwater Republican takes
p4rdonable pride in announcing COM
plete victory for Clearwater county in
the Nease cruise suit, involving some
S44 000 for an alleged timber cruise
bg NJ. G.. Nease. The old board,
composed of Chairman Frank Zelenka,
Elmer Torgerson and Frank Harrison,
contracted. without competition, for
cruise of half million acres of
tiulbered land within Clearwater
county. The price was twelve and
half cents an acre When resident
cruisers offered to do the work for six
or seven cents an acre they We're
branded as incompetents, called
timber tools, - and not permitted to
bid. Nease was paid some $40, 900 in
cash, and warrants aggregating about
$44, 900, drawing per cent, were
later issued to Nease who sold them
to the Dexter. Horton Bank of Seattle.
After the 1914 county election,
when Messrs. Choate, Harlan and
Coontz, republicans, were elected,
these unpaid Nease warrants were
repudiated, the county treasurer
ordered to refuse payment of interest
or principal on the ground that the
3ruise was inaccurate and unreliable
and the price charged unreasonable
and excessive. The county also al
legged that the Indebtedness was un-
constitutional.

Have Had Enough Nonsense.

Perry Spurgeon of the Weippe sec
tion visited Orofino yesterday. Mr..
Spurgeon says he hopes the day of
cheap abuse Of investors who might
help develop Clearwater county is
over, for no section has greater need
of outside capital. We must treat
investors square if we expect men
to invest money here and help us
build up our resources. 1t is deplor-
able that petty shysters, trying to get
into office, will resort to things 50
harmful and disastrous to the whole
county. Let us hope with Mr..
