IDAHO is RICHER BUT
WORTH LESS, SAYS STATE BOARD

petent governor, and the substitution
therefore of a practical business man,
full of the creative and constructive
instinct.
The state board of equalization has
made a levy for the general state
purposes. This levy is expressed in
a decimal fraction of twelve figures,
and will create a fund for ordinary
state purposes of $565, 900. In addi-
tion levies for the payment of bonded
debt, interest and extinction of$55, 600
and for capital building endowment
fund of $4,000 So now we know
the worst and can prepare ourselves to
pay our little share of the burden of
state government. 1t will probably
amount to So apiece all around for the
state government, and may the AL
mighty have mercy on you. In ad-
dition it should be remembered that
the governor has saved you a million
dollars which he might have spent
and didn't.

Deputy Sheriff Shea Visits Orofino.

Deputy Sheriff Peter Shea was in
Orofino Friday and Satdurday attend
ing the republican central committe
meeting. Mr.. Shea is Irish, but
can't help it, being born that way,
but in spite of the accidents of birth
he is one of the best officers in the
state of Idaho. Taking charge of Elk
yer two years ago, when that town
the wettest, soppiest place on the
globe, he has transformed things till
you couldn't get a drink of liquor in
the| |old town if your life depended on
it. Peter Shea is a hard -fisted, whole
souled man whose sometimes rough
exterior covers heart as tender as
childs, and his standard of honor and
honesty are four square. A woodsmau
by training, Mr.. Shea knows the men
with whom he is brought into contact
around milling plant, and is re-
spected and honored. He is a man
who speaks his mind, and if he don
like you he will tell you so. That is
Peter Shea, and when he took an oath
to enforce the law that settled it with
Shay. If the opportunity ever comes,
and Mr.. Shea will accept the honors,
the people of Clearwater county ought
to elect him sheriff.

"The Magic Skin"

One of the most delightful of recent
Edison features is 1.-The Magic Skin, -
a beautiful and dramatic film version
of Honore de Balsac's famous French
romance. 1t is the second Edison
release on the newly organized
Kleine- Edison feature service and
bids fair to break all records for
thrills and climaxes. 1t is offered as
the star attraction at the Rex theatre
Saturday evening. The story of
THE Magic Skim is facinaticng and
unusual. Ralph Valentines a musi-
clan, intent upon suicide as the re-
suit of faithless sweetheart, comes
mysteriously into possession of
magic skin. He bargains with Satin,
agreeing to give up his soul for the
sake of the pleasures that the magic
talisman will bring and promptly
starts upon a round of vice and ephe-
neral joys. Every joy is gratified
but with each wish the skin shrink.
When it is finall gone, Mephisto-
pheles again appears and carries his
soul to perdition.

CLEARWATER NATIONAL FOREST.

Supervisor Wiley and office force
returned from Oxford Ranger Station
Wednesday where the summer head
quarters of the Clearwater National
Forest have peen maintained since
the latter part of June, and has
again taken possession of their offices
in the Burns Block.
Mr.. Wiley states that the past sea-
son has been one Of the most favor
able in regard to forest fires that has
ever been experienced on the Forest.
Although there were forty fires,
these were handled by the summer
fire organization with no assistance
from temporary fire fighters, and .hus
no expenditures were made from the
emergency fire fund. Practically no
damage was done to the timber as the
fires were successfully confined to
small areas. The season has been
very propitious for the carrying on
of improvement work. Thirty-five
miles of telephone line has been con-
structed which now makes it pos
sible to communicate not only with
each Rangers headquarters but with
all the lookout stations except two.
These two are equipped with hello
graphs by means of which reports are
made daily to the lookout stations
equipped with telephones. With the

1t has developed that the state is

Alexander's Economy Chickens

Many of them made the trip into the
Yellowstone in this way, and return.
ing have passed through the upper
Snake River Valley, from Boise have
driven their cars over the Salmon
river route to Grangeville and Lewis
ton. They have praised the country
and cursed the road. In both cases
they have received the plaudits of the
people of the state who are ac-
quainted with the facts. One of the
last to go over the road was Chair
man Evan Evans of Grangville,
who on his return to the latter place
in published interviews called atten-
tion to the necessities. In his state
ment Mr.. Evans said that it seems
disgraceful that the state should per-
nit the road to be in such disgrace
full condition when comparatively
small amount of money would correct
the evils complained of.
His statement has called attention to
the fact that at the last session of the
legislature one of the appropriations
passed and vetoed by the governor,
was that of $1,000 fer the purchase
of road building equipment, asked
for by the prison management, SO
that the work of the prisoners on
roads should be made more effective.
Attention is called to this just at this
time, for the reason that as the open

Shook has taken some of the extra
men from the Homedale prison ranch
and is putting them at work in the
road camp near Whitebird. The road
camp at that place, which has been
in existence something over four
months, has contained something like
thirty men, who have been building
an improved turnpike road down
Whitebird creek from the town of
that name to Salmon river. They
have been working on rocky hill
side literally carving the road out
with their we'll nigh naked hands,
and have expended many thousands of
dollars in an effort to accomplish one
tenth of what might have been done
if the appropriation for road building
equipment had been let stand.
1t is striking illustration of the
penny wise and pound foolish politics
that have been in operation in this
state for the past two years, and
which have resulted in saving in
money cost Of government so small
as to be unrecognizable, and loss
of most of those things for which the
people look to the government. The
Whitebird road camp in which the
road is located paying the major
portion of the money cost. If the
$4,000 approrria: ion had been let
stand, the same men from the prison,
under the same cost to the state, and
the same cost to Idaho county, could
have built ten miles of equally good
road, and the state would still have
had its $4,000 of road equipment
practically intact.

2l0 miles of telephone lines now on
the Forest it is possible for every
lookout to report each fire to the
Supervisor office within few
minutes after it is sighted. i.
During the season approximately
$ll, 10000 will be spent on the con-
struction of trails. The most inn
portant project is the construction
of trail from the Bongalow cabin
to T. al NJ, r. 6 E.. distance of
% miles along the north slope of the
north fork of the Clearwater river.
This trail will be constructed on a
water grade not to exceed six per
cent. 1t will extend through an ex-
tremely rugged section of the Forest,
necessitating a vast amount of rock
work, and at east two seasons will be
required to finish it. This will not
only openup some of the most mac
cessible timber lands but will also
provide some of the best recreation
grounds for the public in northern
Idaho.
During the past season over 200
campers passed thru the Oxford
ranger station and with the added
facilities for reaching the North
Fork country which the new trail
will provide there is no reason why
this region should not become fisher
mans and hunters paradise.
