"MoTHER" JONES CALLS FOR
HAPPY HOMES IN AMERICA

HAPPY HOMES IN AMERICA
There will be no strike in the soft
coal fields if the present demand for
soft coal keeps up, Mother Jones told
Day Book reporter Sunday. She
says operators are expected to give in
to the demands OF the unions this
spring. Mother" left Chicago Sun
day for Indianapolis, where last week
she brought the two warning factions
of United Mine Workers of America
together.
THE outlook is not so promising
in anthracite fields" she says. "Oper-
ators are not expected to give in to
demands of miners. Strike is likely.
Thousands of tons of coal have
been stored away by railroads. Some
industries have contracted for de-
livery for months in advance, fearing
an industrial struggle"
Mother Jones is hopeful in general.
She sees better wages and better
working conditions for American
workingman. She thinks the little
revolt" in Youngstown taught money
kings a lesson. She expects more
voluntary increases like 10 per cent
raise in steel industry.
Mother Jones laughed at the Euro
pean peace emissaries. ''The absurd
philosophy of it," she said. Think
of going to Europe to stop the war,
while back here our kings are yell
ing for preparedness. That bunch of
welfare workers should have stopped
in Boston and called on the society
there is an effort to stop child labor.
They would have done more good and
spent less money.
"As for preparedness, why the ar
ticles being printed by some OF the
papers are infamous. Did Lincoln
shout preparedness? Let this coun-
try prepare happy homes before they
talk of defending them.

1t was a pleasure to travel over the
Greer Weippe road Sunday afternoon,
and to note the very excellent work
being done by Nat Brown, who has
cut down the grades, filling the draws
and gullies with the dirt cut from the
tops of the many short, but steep
hills. The auto made theroad on
high without any effort, and the peo-
pie ought to have the good sense to
appreciate this kind of work. The
county is getting lot of permanent
road at little expense, fact that
should appeal to the farmer whoset
axes will be the lower because of the
arrangement made with the Scofield
people. 1t is the most road for the
money we have ever seen. And it is
the best highway in Clearwater
county. The only improvement that
could be suggested would be top
dressing of gravel. 1t is properly
crowned, well drained, and practical
ly level.

Cut Out the Steep Grades.

The Gilbert grade ought to be
changed. No amount of money can
convert it into a road, it being to
steep for traffic. County Commits
sioner Harlan has suggested a plan
that ought to be seriously considered
in that it contemplates permanent i'm
provement as rapidly as the district
and the county car supply the money.
Mr.. Harlan suggests the immediate
survey of the Gilbert and other steep
grades. Then as funds are available
work out, say quarter of the new
grade yearly, plan that would mean
Under this plan the old portions of
the grades would be improved only
enough to enable people to get over it
until permanent improvements on easy
grade supplied decent road. If other
wards use the road funds for perma-
nent highways instead of improving
grades that can never become salts
factory. We might go on spending
S., 900 year on the present Gilbert
grade and after ten years and the ex-
penditure of $50,0O this old grade
with its prohibitive pitches, would
still be unfit for road purposes.
The county commissioners have the
right idea. Spend no money on grades
too steep for traffic. When we spenG
road funds let us get somewhere.

Seeing the West.

A party of Minneapolis boys, young
sters of about IL to Is years. were in
Orofino Saturday enroute to Potlatch,
where they visited for day before
returning homeward. The boys are
Jas. Best, Harlan Roberts, Jas. and
Andrus Thorpe, Tom and Frank How
ard VIM. Browning of Minneapolis,
and Chas. Chesley of Burke, Idaho,
and E. J. Chesley of Potlatch, the
later acting as guides for the boys.
The party spent two weeks camping
at Pierce, outing at Garfield, Wash.
and were travelling by team through
this section. The boys wore the reg
ulation uniform of the boy scouts, to
which organization some of them be-
long. They are spending their va
cation seeing the west. and are hav-
ing fine time.

Celebrate Paved Streets.

Orofno was out in force Saturday
night to celebrate the laying of pave
ment on her business street. 1t was
a big occasion for so small town,
and marks milepost in the towns
growth. A rather remarkable thing
town in the entire Clearwater country,
including Camas prairie with Grange
vile, to pave. 1t is the only town
in the country above Lewiston to
pave, altho Orofno is not the largest
of the towns.
The Commercial club had the cell
ebraton in charge, and made things
hum. Prominent citizens from Cot
tonwood. Nez Perce, Lewiston, and
other points were with US and partici-
pated in the celebration. All the
mayors of Orofino were out and joined
in the program, voicing the general
pleasure in so marked an improvement.
Many automobiles paraded the
street to see how the pavement
everybody was invited by President
F. Elliott Smith of the Commercial
club to adjourn to the Commercial
club rooms where refreshments were
provided. T. J.. LaForest contributed
to this part of the program one barrel
of cider, while the ladies and some of
the men made coffee, sandwiches
and other eatables for the crowd.
The children were presented with
candy.
A bonfire, with weinerwurst
roast, also a pie contest, was pro-
vided for the kids, while those who
wished danced for several hours on the
pavement, covered with sawdust for
the occasion The Orofno band gave
a concert and played for the dance.
The evening concluded with confetti
battle, generally enjoyed, especially
by those who got a few quarts of the
stuff down their backs.

Four young men from Lewiston,
Messrs. r. C. Peterson, Stanley Fen
ton, Fred Hanke and Ramsey Pierce,
after ten days up the North Fork as
far as Breakfast creek on the Little
North Fork, returned to Orofino Mon
day night with a tale of varied ex-
periences. The fishing was good, all
are agreed. But camping out has
its seamy side, and the boys had
theirs. While three of the party
were up the river fishing, and the
fourth was keeping camp at the
cabins at the forks of the Little
North Fork and the main river, big
bear came into camp, stampeding the
horses. Without shirt, in stocking
feet, young Fenton tried to head the
frightened and fleeing animals but
lost out. One pony, belonging to
the writer, horse with one crippled
front foot, was unable to run and was
saved to carry out the bedding and a
little grub. The rest of the outfit
was left and will be brought out
later. Two of the boys, going ahead
on foot, reached Orofno Monday
evening about nine O'Clock, sore anC
hungry, coming in on short rations
The other boys got in with the pack

ing, and all the party left on the

Room For Big improvements

Orofino ought to get interested in
change of grade in the public road
leading to Ford's creek, beginning
near the big eddy above the tunnel.
Instead OF dropping down that long,
steep grade, and then climbing up
again and back down, it is said an
easy, uniform grade has been surveyed
around the side of the hill, above
the present road, calculated to give
the people road that could be
travelled with some degree of pleas.

Obituary.

New, Hampton, Iowa, Gazette:
Died, at the home of Marvin L. Nc
Farland in Fredericksburg township.
Chlckasaw county, Iowa, at three
O'Clock in the afternoon of August
End, 1916, Miss Margaret C.. McFar-
land, aged rs years, mouths and II
days. Early in life and before leaving
Pennsylvania, the deceased became
public school teacher Subsequently
she taught in Wisconsin, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Idaho. For nearly
fifty years she continued in this work,
and she met with marked success from
the beginning.
Her strong personality her winning
friends where ever she taught; and
she inspired her pupils not only with
desire for knowledge, but also with
determination to make their lives
useful and honorable. Fifty years
ago this summer she taught the school
in what was then the town of Jack
sonville. During the seventies she
taught the Fredericksburg school for
about four years, and five of her old
Fredericksburg pupils acted as pail
bearers at her funeral.
In addition to her work as a teach
er she was ever ready to assist those
who needed help, and comfort and
sympathy. When her Youngest sister,
Mrs. Foster, died years ago in the
city of Spokane, leaving a husband
and four children, she went to their
assistance and renamed with them
until they were able to care for them
selves. A few years later she per-
formed like service for, the children
of Marvin L. Mcfarland. nephew.
If the true measure of successful
life is the good accomplished the
service rendered; the kind act per-
formed; the devotion to principle;
then, surely, hers was successful
life.
In the autumn of 1914. while max
ing her home with her sister in Mad
ison, Wis, she left for Idaho and
Washington to visit relatives.
Within year of her goingwest her
health began to fail. 1t was not,
however, till June of the present year
that she returned to Iowa, when
wasting age and wearing strife had
sapped the leaning walls of life,
and she felt that the end was near.
Deceased was an aunt of Mrs. John
Molloy of Orofno, with whom de-
ceased lived in Idaho previous to her
death.
Miss Ethel Redfeld, County Super
intendent of Schools of Nezperce
county, and a candidate for State
Superintendent was Orofno last
Saturday afternoon and evening.
l l. R. Crow was one of the men who
signed thoseren onstrances against the
appointment of P. H. Blake as post
master at Orofino. And few months
later Mr.. Crow repents and wants
the people to vote the Blakes back
into control of Clearwater county.
Chauncey Wallace of Nez Perce,
candidate for the republican nomina-
tion for secretary of state at the com.
ing primary, was in Orofino Saturday
night attending the pavement celebra
tion. Mr.. Wallace has many friends
n in Orofino and says he expects to ge
a good vote in Clearwater county.

Want Peck Grade Made BETTER.

If the time comes when Clearwater
and Nez Perce counties can join in
giving the Cream ridge farmers a
better grade it will be duly appreci-
ated by the neighborhood. an extern
sive grain-growing section lying
partly in Clearwater AMI partly in
Nez Perce counties. These farmers
are compelled to market at Peck sta
tion, and haul down grade in places
said to be over 40 per cent pitch. A
better grade. l-3 of which would be
in Nez Perce county, can be made at
reasonable expense, it is asserted by
interested farmers. Mr.. Carey says
that the Mccormick farm alone an
nually markets in the neighborhood of
5000 sacks over this grade, H.
Albers 5000 sacks, Harve Southwick
and others about the same, and for
years have travelled road that
crowds the team after both hind
wheels are roughlocked.
