Examine the Children.

Miss Harcourt, of the Lewiston
Normal, has been in this section the
past week conducting physical EXAM
inatlons of such pupils as the limited
time would admit. The state law
provides for medical inspection of all
pupils in the public schools, but the
niggardly, parsimonios policy of cer-
tain sefish, egotistical politicians is
robbing the boys and girls of Idaho of
this great and valuable service at the
hands of the state. The most the
state board of education can do is to
send out instructors from other the
colleges and merely touch this work,
thereby hoping that public sentiment
will force the coming state legisla-
ture to appropriate funds for this pur,
pose. But what is the welfare of
Idaho's boys and girls compared to
that million dollar saving of Heb
rev office seeker?

Milwaukee NAV Build to Ahsahka.

According to rumor, verified by a
party close to the Clearwater Timber
Company, the recent visit of Theodore
Fohl and others to Elk River last
week was in connection with the pro-
posed extension of the Milwaukee
railroad to tap the holdings of the
Clearwater Timber Company. Ac-
cording to this rumor the Milwaukee
extension of 25 or 80 miles will leave
the Elk River branch three or four
miles west of Elk River and take
down Bull Run creek, hitting Elk
River a mile or more below the falls,
following that creek to its mouth and
on down the North Fork to Ahsahka,
where the Clearwater Lumber Com
pany has fine mill site, and where
Bruce's Eddy mile above can afford
immense electric power and log stor-
age by damming the river.
A grade of 2 IL per cent. can be
had on the proposed railroad with the
exception of three mile strip, where
the grade is four per cent, and to
overcome this it is proposed to main.

of decent democracy in Clearwater
county, when, over the protest of
County Auditor Joseph Kaufman and
County Chairman F. w. Garrison the
henchmen of j. w. and P. H. Blake

of tributaries would make it poss-
ible to float practically all the vast
holdings of timber in Clearwater
county to the Ahsahka mill.
That the Clearwater Timber origin
ally had this plan in mind is borne
out by the fact that the company ac-
quired a mill site and other rights at
Ahsahka, and only last summer Indian
buildings on some of the land were
moved off.
