Gigantic Tonnage Awaits New Railroads.

rebuild every house in Washington,
Idaho, Utah, Oregon and Montana
with lumber from Clearwater County
or should the residences of New York,
Chicago, Philadelphia and San Fran
cisco be destroyed by fire or other dis
aster, they could be rebuilt with
the lumber from this county.
Another comparison to enlighten
the skeptic mind: If Clearwater
county's timber was sawed up and
loaded on cars of 40, 900 feet each, it
would require 500, 600 cars to trans
port the lumber, or 20, 900 trains of 25
cars each and if the trains were COM
bined into one it would be 554 miles
long.
This is why Clearwater county
needs railroad in the timber belt.

as many are watching for just such
girls to lure them to destruction.
The girl who is too confiding or
trusting is also apt to be betrayed,
and several examples of cases where
girls came girls came to grief on this
account were given to illustrate this
point.
The girl who leaves home is also
often lured into danger when her
money is gone and she is too proud to
let her friends know her needs or the
wages earned are not sufficinet for her
needs.
$50, 900 girls, =" said Elder johnson,
"are said to disappear every year be-
cause of these pitfalls that surround
the young girl of today
The speaker closed by saying:
"Girls cannot be too careful ir
making acquaintance, and it is a
great mistake to think that home is
not as good place as can be found. y

Elk River Wants Road
AS Originally Located.

The Republican is in receipt of in
formation from Elk River to the effect
that the people there are back of the
county board in the present location
of the Ahsahka-Elk River road, and
are opposed to the changes suggested
by Mr.. Carr and others in last weeks
Republican. 1t is pointed out that
the road as now located will open a
very rich section of the county, also
tap the mines near Elk River, and
give better grade. The Republican
will gladly open its columns to all in
terested parties for discussion of
this matter, and invites signed ar
ticles from the people interested.
A thorough discussion will do no
harm, and for the further reason that
no mistake should be made in the loc-
alton of this road. The important
thing is good road, the hest pos
sible.

Chautauqua Best Thing In History OF Town.

The local subscribers to the Oro-
tino chautauqua met Friday evening
and organized by electing DR.. Britain
president: F. E. Smith, vice presi-
dent; F. N. Morton, secretary and A.
l.. Thiele, treasurer. The Orofino
chautauqua opens June %, and lasts
six days. To bring this splendid at
traction here 33 citizens united and
guaranteed the sale of 400 season
tickets. This is the biggest and best
thing Orofino has ever attempted, and
the entire community is behind it,
but unless everybody takes hold and
helps it may be the last one. 1t is a
big undertaking for few citizens to
assume. The program calls for two
sessions daily, and some of the best
talent in the United States will ap-
pear. We will get as good as Spok-
ane. A season ticket will be 50. so,
which brings the admission down to
twenty-ore cents per session Orofino

Somebody remarked, after Governor
Alexander, who arrived Tuesday after
noon: ''Did you notice the demo-
Gratis who weren't COW TO the depot

we replied: ''Wait till YOU see the

this will appear under big head:
When His Excellency, the Gov
ernor of Idaho, stepped from the
train, he was greeted with great ap-
plause from the assembled thousands
of common people who had waited for
hours for the train. A special COM
mittee, headed by the brass band, es-
cocted Governor Alexander to Hotel
Noodle, where he addressed the peo-
pie. The public schools had been dis
missed and the business houses of
/ the town were closed in honor of the
governor, ad infnitum to the extent
of three columns about six times a
week in the governor own paper, the
Capital News, and the amusing thing
is that the governor writes this sort
of slush about himself, according to
the statements of girl stenographers
in the state capitol to whom the gov
ernor has dictated reports of his own
meetings.

Warning For Girls Is Sounded,

Sunday evening, in spite of tfe
rain, there was large attendance at
the Christian church to hear Elder
johnson sermon on "Pitfalls for
Girls. He said in part:
"All will agree that sweet, pure
girl or woman is worthy of our ad
miration and also that wicked, de-
ceitful, impure one is source of
danger and to be avoided by those
caring for their character or reputa-
tion. That there were dangers or
pitfalls was attested by the frequent
articles of warning found in maga-
zines, home, farm and religious pa
pers.
eff all persons were as good as
they should be there would be little
danger, or if we could always recog-
nize a PERSONS character the danger
would not be so great.
Among the dangers Mr.. Johnson
mentioned the home itself, the lack
of parental instruction, too great in
diligence and the unwillingness to be-
lieve our own children could do wrong
are some of these dangers, even in
good homes.
''The school also often fails to give
the necessary instruction and warn
ings, the demands are so great for
study and amusement that the moral
or religious nature is often ship
wrecked, and then the practices or
amusements allowed and encouraged
are such as to overthrow the teaching
of the religious home and the church. -
The church also came in for its
share Of blame. While not viewing
the church as social club he said if
Christian people were not interested
in furnishing clean, wholesome amuse-
ments for the young people then the
churches were to blame if the young
people took up with others that were
offered.
Special types Of girls were men,
toned as being in danger; the girl
that is too free and is willing to pick
up chance acquaintances is in danger

Weippe Herald: 1t is estimated
that Clearwater county contains
twenty billions feet of good merchant
able saw timber, which will some day
be manufactured into lumber and sent
out to the various markets. The
amount is simply enormous, really
beyond comprehension. Ten thousand
feet of lumber will build an ordinary
5-room house and finish it up, with
enough scraps and pieces for side
walks. If the estimate of timber in
the county is correct, and we have no
reason to dispute it, there would be
enough lumber if manufactured to
build two million houses, and figuring
it as Uncle Sam does, five persons to
the house, would accommodate ten mil
lion people. 1t would be possible to

Teakean Country Shows
Evidence Of Rapid Growth

The literary program for Saturday
evening was postponed one week be-
cause of the deluge of rain. The re-
lative meits of anticipation and real
ization will not be definitely decided
until that time.
Teakean is now certainly on the
boom. Charles Hall has real meat
market. A new cross road between
Teakean and Cavendish connecting the
Teakean thoroughfare and the "Dunk-
ard Flat avenue is being petitioned
for, Chas. Hall and others making
free grants of right of way. This
woud be a great boon to George Wells
who is otherwise entirely isolated.
Oh, what SHOWS and rains Con-
siderable post driving for new fences
is being done. Good weather for
that. A new private lane for an out
let for Frank Gronert is being fenced
off for the distance of half mile ad
jacent to the property of O. H. Her
ring, P. l.. Ford and J. c. Grafton.
All such enterprises work towards the
development of the country.

WILL THE N. P. RAILROAD COMPANY THROW AWAY
VAST TONNAGE OF AN UNDEVEL LOPED EMPIRE?

Is the Northern Pacific railroad
company going to stand idly by
and make no effort to get its le-
gitimate share of the immense ton
mage that is today begging for i'm
mediate transportation facilities ?
The Northern Pacific, because it is
already here; already built to the very
edge of the great timber forests of
Clearwater county, owes it to the peo-
pie of the entire Clearwater valley
to wake up and do its share in the de-
velopment of its territory; but let us
waive this. Let us say the North
ern Pacific owes it to the Northern
Pacific stockholders to protect itself
in this great opportunity for immense
permanent tonnage.
The Northern Pacific had its pick
of the best routes calculated to handle
future development, and insure future
tonnage. Yet it stood still and let
the Milwaukee rob it of all that vast
tonnage originating from the manu-

Insane" Millions Now Menace To Society.

Judge Steele closed district court
Tuesday night, and the term, which
opened Monday, was the shortest in
the history of the county. All the
bootlegg ing cases were continued ex-
cept that against Mrs. LaDuke of Elk
River. She had skipped, and her
bond of 5000 cash was declared for
feited and bench warrant issued for
her. The case against Fleet Jordan
of Weippe, was dismissed because
the evidence was found defective in
that it was not admissible. The
cases against Schill, French and
Wilson were continued. Judge
Steele, mindful of the best interests
of the taxpayers, did not feel justified
in summoning jury for the small
amount Of business, and continued the
criminal cases.

facture of lumber at Potlatch and Elk
River. Also, by the same inactivity,
the Northern Pacific lost the in
creasing tonnage of future years
growing out of the agricultural de-
velopment of the country.
The time has now arrived when
another great empire is ripe for de-
velopment, with twenty billion feet
of merchantable timber to be hauled
to market.
This vast tonnage belongs to the
Northern Pacific railroad company.
1t lies at the very door of this road
and begs for recognition. An empire,
rich in agricultural possibilities,
guaranteeing permanent tonnage
when the timber is eventually remov-
ed, wants the Northern Pacific to bui lC
into it. The opportunity is open.
Will the Northern Pacific enter? Oh
will it permit competing line tc
further encroach on it's territory, for
feiting tonnage of giant proportions il
can never regain?

"Try OrOfinO Merchants First"

The following is taken from
the Olympia Standard: TRY Olym-
pia merchants first; is an excellent
slogan--it means something. And
given that first chance, Olympia meri
chants will be able to meet more of
your wants than YOU realize, at better
prices than you realize and under
greater accommodations than outside
firms will give, and as the movement
spreads, so also will these advantages
for more purchases at home will
make, of course, for better stores at
home. . The foregoing slogan is an
excellent one and good enough to
adopt in any town, little or big.

enabling it to haul immense tonnage
over its line with the minimum ex-
penditure of energy, and by utilizing
the vast electric power now running

hold the lumber business against all

understand that DR.. Givens told the

Milwaukee Invading Northern
Pacific'S Best Territory

The Milwaukee has announced it's
intentions to extend it's Elk River
branch into the North Fork timber in
Clearwater county, presumably to
reach the immense White pine in the
neighborhood of Headquarters. 1t
is the opinion in some quarters that
the proposed branch may come down
the North Fork to Ahsahka and then
up Orofino creek to Pierce, from
which point it could send out branches
to tap every acre of good timber.
We must remember that whatever
road is to haul this immense tonnage
to market must avoid excessive grades
to connect with the mainline east to
the middle states. The Missoula cut
off is the logical outlet, and the
Northern Pacific has the key to the
situation.

Excerpt from an address by DR..
Charles M. Sheldon: 1t was fitting
that from the pulpit of the First
Methodist church of Evanston, H., of
which for so many years Frances E.
Willard was member, should have
been delivered, on the Sunday follow
ing the anniversary of her home-go-
ing, message on National Constitu-
tional Prohibition by DR.. Charles M.
Sheldon. In his address he gave as
the result of his close analysis of the
drink evil some of the chief reasons
that alcohol has gained such hold on
the human race.
l. The drinking habit of the
human family.
2. The immense profit accruing
from the manufacture and sale of
alcohol, which appeals to one of the
greatest passions of mankind, the
love of money.
3. The delusion entertained by
the human family down to the present
time that alcohol is medicine and
that we must have it as medicine.
The saddest reason of all for the
continued toleration of the liquor
traffic-the cowardice of the otherwise
good people who have stood in fear of
the liquor traffic and who have lacked
the courage to say and do the things
that would put an end to it.
Speaking of the world wide revolu-
tion in sentiment concerning the drink
evil he ascr ibed it to two causes
people are finding out that alcohol is
not a medicine nor beverage but q
poison, and that there is no revenue
in it for the state or nation.
These two things that affect the
health of mankind and the wealth of
mankind are changing the sentiment
of the world.
DR.. Sheldon showed that Kansas
