TERRIBLE 4E 14sSEJ IS;|al,, 9E[ERED lE|E EI],7,,

Some miscreant hung a big soup
bone on the sign at the Cottage Hotel
Tuesday evening after dark, the
coward, and Landlord Curtis was
justly indignant over it. In the first
place it is bad enough for a village
councilman to make an ass Of himself
without being the butt Of practical
jokers and having it rubbed it, so to
speak. No sooner did Mr.. Curtis
observe the bone dangling from his
sign than he made a flying tackle,
landing on the sidewalk with q
death-grip on the bone. Somebody
yelled First down, eight yards to
go!" and our alderman relaxed his
hold on the bone. Now Mr.. Curtis
demands to know who did it. He
wants all vendors of soup bones with
in the said Village Of Orofino to fur
nish him with true and correct list
of all parties purchasing, for cash or
credit, soup bones of the character,
description, and approximate size Of
the soup bone tied to his hotel sign.
What is more insulting, we in
quire, than soup bone dangling in
the breeze from the Cottage Hotel
signboard?
The war in Europe was began on
less provocation. If our town mar
shall cannot fathom this deep died
mystery and apprehend the villianous
wretch, Councilman Curtis should
introduce a resolution at the next
session of our town council calling
upon the governor to declare martial
law, send in troops, and, if necessary.
get the United States army to, bring
the perpetrator of this vile outrage
to justice. Shall we permit our
honorable village aldermen to be in
suited with soup bones? No, we say,
No!
; Think Of insulting one of our village
councilmen by hanging sign like
this in front of his hotel:

An Interesting Program.

A large and attentive audience was
present at the Methodist church Sun
day evening. After the usual OPEN
ing exercises j. S. Hogue spoke on
the subject assigned and in a very
earnest manner compared the moral
and temperance conditions of today
with 25 years ago. 1t was very en-
couraging and full of hope.
This was followed by an address
by Mrs. Theo. Fohl and the hang. .ng
out of Uncle Sans washing. This
display showed that four more states
had voted dry at the recent election,
making twenty three, and with Utah
and Florida pledged to prohibition,
increased the number to twenty-five.
Mrs. U. G. Smothers then. showed
on large map how one may travel
from coast to coast thru dry territoi y
without sing a saloon. The -congre-
gatoin sang with enthusiasm "The
Battle Hymn of the Republic, and
truly the audience felt that our God is
marching or and has sounded forth
the trumpet that shall never sound
retreat.
The closing address was delivered
by Attorney Smith. His subject was
1.-THE Signs of the Times. Mr.
Smith gave very optomistic address
and closed with some beautiful quota
tions The audience sang Americ,
and Rev. Holm of Lewiston pro
nounecd the benediction.

VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS ON
CLEARING STUMP LANDS

C. H. Shattuck, professor of For
estry at the University of Idaho, has
written the following relative to
methods to be used in clearing land:
In my last article on land clear
ing, took up in general way the
nature Of this problem, showing why
the settler should be on the land and
why he is oftentimes not there.
now desire to discuss briefly the
methods most generally employed in
clearing land in Idaho. These are
briefly the use of powder of various
kinds. stump pullers, and fire; also
combinations Of powder and fire, and
of powder and stump pullers.
Most farmers are anxious to know
which of these methods is best
adapted to their particular problem i.
The question is not easily answered
as considerable information should be
obtained before even an experienced
operator can say what method is real
lyss the bets for any locality. Again,
it is necessary to know what the
farmer himself desires. L. ..he is
anxious to bring the land to a high
state of production in the shortest
possible time and is so situated thai
he. can obtain powder, very often HI
will find it the cheapest in the loni
run to take the stumps completely ou
in this way. However, if he has on
ly the labor of himself and teams t.
put into the work Of land clearing
| he may have to content himself wit
slower returns or at least return
from a installer area Of cleared lands
In this case some method employing
, fire. or possibly that using some sor
r of stump puller, may be found t
: serve his purpose best. Again, on
, farmer may have stumps which lem
: themselves readily to the use of fire
l whereas another may have stunps o
5 such species as do not readily burn
He may therefore be compelled t
t resort to powder or stump puller
] In general it may be said that lam
covered with such stumps as Yello,
l and White pine, Douglas fir or JAG
/ pine may be cheaply and quickl
t cleard by means of fire, whereas Ian
f covered with White fir, Larch, G
: large cedar can be best cleared b
ne ans of powder. This is becaus
s these stumps do not burn readil
8 whereas the foregoing, if taken durin
= the drier parts of the year, can /
d burned, ont under proper direction a
x most completely. Details relati,
f to the use of powder and the variol
h kinds tried out by the University
!: Idaho, together with definite recon
mendations will be forthcoming at
re later date.

Give Our Band Loyal Support.

A delegation of the local band
waited on the business men and citi-
zens of the town Monday and Tues
day, circulating subscription list
for the maintenance of the band for
the coming year. Generally all
subscriptions were renewed. One
business firm increased their monthly
contribution, and one discontinued it's
support to the band. However the
Orofino band is fire asset to the
town and has contributed much to the
community. Under the leadership of
Prof. Morris the members have made
satisfactory progress, and can now
produce music that needs no apology
from our citizens when visitors hear
our band play. D. w. Davis, when
he spoke here during the campaign,
paid Orofino fine compliment for its
excellent band. During the pas,
summer the band rendered many en-.
joyable concerts in the park near the
school house, and upon all occasions
has been ready to make itself usefu
to the community. 1t has beer
worth much more than it's cost to an!
of US, and deserves the continued ant
loyal support of the citizens of Orc
fino. Let us give our band our loya
support, and let Orofino have the bes
band of any town our size in tn
Northwest. Let US show signs of life
get into the game, put our town O
the map, and make other towns sit u
and take notice. Hurrah for Orofino

ELK RIVER VOTE HONEST,
DECLARES THE SENTINEL

Elk River Sentinel: The Orofino
Tribune Thinks that the vote in Elk
River precinct was false, fraudulent
and lot of other things because it
did not go to suit it. 1t charges that
men were allowed to vote here who
were not citizens. That is absurd
and everybody, including the Tribune
man himself. knows that he is talk
ing poppycock. Elk River cast
very light vote, only 245, because
"Too Much Wilson" has made busi-
ness dull here for nearly four years
and men have been gradually drifting
out all summer. If Elk River could
vote men who are not citizens its
vote would be very much larger than
it is; it would be much increased If
it could allow men to vote on thirty
days residence in the state instead of
six months. The facts are that there
were plenty of democrats round the
polls to challenge anyone whom they
suspected. The registration list has
not been changed since the primary
and the names of all thereon could
have been examined and challenged
at any time for many weeks past.
There were a few votes sworn in at
the polls, but all were known to their
sponsors and by many bystanders to
be citizens of the United States and
of Idaho. Some had been omitted
from the lists by blunders, as one
lady who was born in the country ano
has lived in the precinct for five
years, voting at each election.
The Orofino Tribune may rest as.
sured that, unless Wilsonism's in
fluence is even more malign during
the next few years than is expected
Elk River will cast at least 800 re
publican votes in 1920 and help t.
bury the bourbons for generation

SCIENTIFIC FARMING MAY
INCREASE WHEAT YIELD

The University of Idaho News
Letter Of November IL, contains some
information of considerable value to
all farmers of the Northwest. 1t
says: For the last two years expert
ments have been conducted upon the
farm of the University of Idaho to
determine what treatment of the Pa
louise soil will increase the crop
yields, Work has also been done to
determine the best system of crop ro-
tation. In the fertility tests the
three elements which it is generally
considered come the producing
power Of the soil were added alone
and in various combinations. They
are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potas-
stun. The nitrogen was added in the
form of nitrate of soda at the rate of
200 pounds per acre; the phosphorus
as acid phosphate 100 pounds per acre
and the potassium as muriate of po-
tash 100 pounds per acre. These were
all added as top dressings after a
wheat crop had been planted. Oats
on soil that had been treated gave the
most definite results. Those plots
having oats in 1915 this yaer gave an
increase in the yield ofwheat of ap-
proximately seven bushels per acre
when nitrate was used, none when
potash and phosphate was used. This
year the actual increase in the yield
of oats was 1873 bushels per acre
where nitrate was used, nothing
where potash and phosphate was used.
Wheat on soil treated this year with
nitrate gave approximately eleven
bushe Is increase per acre; potash four
bushels increase and phosphate no in
crease On account of varying
amounts of smut in the different
plats Of wheat it is impossible to give
exact figures. The figures given are
therefore only approximately correct.
Tho the resulst with nitrate as a
fertilizer are quite definite, we do not
feel at this time that we should ad-
wise the use of nitrate, especially al
war prices. The point to be empha.
sized is that there is not sufficient
food in the soil of che Palouse ares
AMI that all manure should be re.
turned to the land. Nitrogen may bt
supplied by growing and blowing un
: der legumes as clover, peas, ant
: beans or feeding these plants to stocl
and applying the resulting manure tt

But remember" said the German naval
head later during the course of the inter-
view, that we have no desire for a break
with the United States. That would be in
sanity We shall not bring 1t about, de-
spite our desire to push vigorously our
submarine warfare.
I'VE did not sink the Sussex" said Ad-
miral Won Holtzendorff. 81 am as con-
vnced of that as of anything which has
happened in this war. IL you could read
the definite instructions, the exact orders
each submarine commander has, you
would understand that the torpedoing OF
the Sussex was impossible.
MANY of our submarines have returned
from rounding up British vessels. They
sighted scores of passenger ships going
between England and America but not
one OF these was touched. although we
know every one OF them was carrying war
munitions for the Allies.
I'VE have definitely agreed TO warn the
crews and passengers of passenger liners.
We have lived up to that promise In every
way, but we cannot be asked to regard
frenght ships in the same manner. This
is beyond the border for any belllgerant
nation.
II speak in straightforward manner.
