What About the Sewer?

A very prominent citizen of Orofino
inquiries, and rightly so, what Oro-
tino is thinking of in processing to
dump the sewerage from Days ad-
dition into Orofino creek. ct will
simply mean an aggravated public
nuisance, to be condemned later by
the state board of health when some :
body protests in self-defense. Oro-
fino creek runs almost dry during the
summer. Sewerage will simply be
deposited on the rocks, exposed to the
heat and sun, becoming loathsome and
breeding place for disease, which
will not be permitted. The proper
thing for Orofino to do is to provide
now for sewerage, extending a main
line to the river near the Zelenka
mill. The main river can take care
of it. Orofino creek cannot, except
during high water. This should be
done before there is another foot of
paving laid. Orotino is putting on a
new suit over dirty underwear. Let
us begin right.

Mabel Gray Married.

A real surprise was sprung last
night at p. m. when Roy Wherry OF
Portland, Oregon, and Miss Mabel
Gray of Orofino, were united in mar
riage by Probate Judge Todd. Mrs.
Jennie Larkins and John Swanson
stood up with the contracting parties
Miss Gray told her intimate friends
she was going to get married but be-
cause she told it they refused to be-
lisve her taking it as a joke. And
now they are awfuly surprised. 1t is
so sudden! Mr.. Wherry is timber
cruiser of Portland who worked for
Nease on the Clearwater county con-
tract but who was disgusted with the
way Nease had his men work and
testified against Nease and in behalf
of Clearwater county at the big trial
before the Federal court. Miss Gray
has resided in Orofino for many years
and is a most worthy young lady.
The best wishes of the community go
with her. Mr.. and Mrs. Wherry left
this morning without saying where
they were going. They will reside
in Portland

NUMBER II
Figures Don't Lie But Liars Can Figure.

The Orotino Tribune is reliable.
alright. 1t says you can raise $42,-
$50 from levy of one and one-half
mills on $2S5, ,667 The edition, |. r.
Grow, then adds: ''This would have
paid the Nease cruise warrants ard
never touched "a farmer. Which is
about. .as. close as |. r. Grow usually
gets to the truth. A levy of one and
onehalf mills on $2S5. 667 is not S42.-
$50, but $42S. so. The Orotino Tri-
bune. therefore, was mistaken only
S42, 42l. so an estimate of S42, $50.
Assuming he was correct Mr.. Grow
arrives at most wonderfui conc clusions.
among them that this 1928 30 would
''have paid the Nease cruise warrants
and never touched farmer. Which
is some tinanciering, we must admit,
and leaves us wondering how one with
such marvellous financial ability as
Mr.. Grow shows is so all.fred poor.
After making his discovery and show
ing how the Blake gang could have
paid off those Nease warrants totaling
$45, 600, by levying one and one-half
mills on an imaginary$2S5, 667 there
by getting $42 $50, or one thousand
times more than any mathe aatician
on earth can discover, the Orofino
concludes with this: 1.-THE Tribune
will give figures from official sources
through the campaign with view
of furnishing to taxpayers with the
cause of high taxes and nothing to
show, so to speak, for the money ex-
pended during the past two years.
This a fair sample of the facts"
the Orofino Tribune has been feeding
its readers. The Tribune said,
when the record showed that booze
was being shipped into Elk River by
the carload, that it was lie. The
same paper said Clearwater county
was out of debt when the record
showed outstanding warrants aggre-
eating one-eighth of million dol
lars. 1t said the Nease cruise was
good thing, and sticks to it, while
the record shows that the Nease cruise
is very bad thing, utterly unreli
able, and inaccurate. The Tribune
has lied to the people so much that it
has come to take itself seriously, and
wonders that anyone can doubt it. |.
r. Grow will no doubt insist that his
figures are correct.

MAY Remove N. p. Spur.

w. j. Jordan, of Lewiston, general
agent; J. L. DeForce, of Spokane,
superintendent, and j. H. Hays of
Moscow, road master, visited Orofno
Tuesday with ew to looking into
the the proposed paving from the
north end of johnson avenue to the N i.
P. depot. 1t is quite probable the
company will abandon the spur to the
cement plant, and pull up the track,
decision that would give general
satisfaction to the people of Orofino.
Should the railroad company ever
have occasion to run spur up Orofino
creek the proper location is up the
creek bank, instead of the middle of
a narrow street.

ped here from VIM. Reddell of Mon
mouth, Oregon. The eve is two
years old and weighs 220 pounds while
the ram is a February lamb weighing
l60 pounds. Mr.. Dobson selected
this breed for the reason it is noted

Bank Changes Hands.

A business deal of cons ,derable i'm
portance was consummated Monday
when a controlling interest in the
Bank of Orotino was taken over by C.
H. EIDE, formerly connected with a
bank in. Peck, who has associated
with him w. c. Morrow. wealthy
farmer of Colfax. Wash. The local
stockholders retain their interests.
w. B. Kline remains vice president,
l.. Soderberg is still one of the d.
rectors, and Ralph Merrill is retained
as hookkeeper. Mr.. EIDE comes to
Orofino as banker of experience.
He is also identified with farming,
owning land. A. l.. Thiele, retiring
cashier, under whose management the
Bank of Orofino has become the biggest
and strongest bank here, will prob
ably locate in Spokane, holding a
position with the Spokane & Eastern
Trust Company. He said he might
engage in the banking business in an
other town. Mr.. Thiele left Wednes-
day morning for Topeka, Kansas, to
visit relatives. He made host of
friends during his residence in Orofino.
and carries with him the confidence,
esteem and sincere respe It of the town
and surrounding country. He was a
live wire, ever ready to help in every
worthy cause, and will be missed even
thou he is S i ceeded by a gentleman
of good repa and standing. Here s
hoping Mr. and Mrs. Thiele, and
their babies, find health, prosperity
and friends wherever they may decide
to locate.

Decks are Cleared for General Election.
d. w. DAVIS
Next Governor of Idaho.

Tuesdays primary election brought
out number of spirited conte, Is, but
there is apparently no sore spots.
The republicans are united in the
work of electing the candidates the
people nominated. However much
ious republicans, most of US under
stand that some of them must step
aside. And the unfortunates ones ap-
preciate that it requires considerable
courage to accept defeat grac, fully,
and line up and help elect the winner
in the primary. May we add that it
is the duty of those who loose to be
as generous in defeat as they would
expect an opponent to be towards
them in case they were victorious.
That is the big, manly, womany thing
to do.
Following is the republican vote in

tion on such candidates as had oppos-

Vote the Amendment First.
(By Vivian Craig, Orofino. J

1t has long been the policy of the
saloon forces to use every means
to break down the prohibitory law
wherever enacted, and to bring it into
disrepute in order to secure its re-
peal or amendment to suit their pur-
poses. That the people are becoming
awake to their tactics and do not pro-
pose longer to be fooled by the cry
Prohibition does not prohibit" is
evident from the fact that in certain
states where liquor people are most
active in promoting illegal sales, the
officials are suggesting that instead of
amending the law to suit the traffic,
as is proposed, it be so amended as to
forbid all importations of liquor of
any kind or quantity. Governor
Lister of Washington, in recent
speech, suggested the state liquor law
be frightened up instead of loosened
up!'
Commenting on this the Aberdeen
World remarks that 1.-THE suggestion
is not bad one, and there is no doubt
that this will be done in case viola
tions of the law become fragrant, "
and adds In fact the advocates of
state prohibition could want no better
argument for attempting to make the
state absolutely dry than continued
violations of the law by those who
want to get the state bark into the
wet column.
In four of the states where pro-
hibition went into effect last January
the drink interests have initiated
measures to weaken or nullify the
statewide prohibitory law. Perhaps
never in the history of the anti-liquor
movement has there been so many
states in offensive and defensive cam
paigns at the same time, and there
fore never has there been such an op-
portunity to defeat the ENEMIES of
the home and settle the question of
whether or mot the vicious interests of
these commonwealths shall longer
control politics and legislation. This
question of constitutional prohibition
for Idaho has been submitted to US by
amendment to be decided at the gen.
eral election in November.

High Cost Of Living Still Climbing.

The high cost of living continues
to climb. Flour, beans and other
necessities of life are now almost
luxuries. And Woodrow Wilson prom
i:ed to reduce the cost of living, the
inference being that republican legis-
lation was responsible. The facts are
that politics have little do with the
cost of living, except where democra-
tic free trade opens our gates to out
isders, thus curtailing the opportuni-
ties of American laborer,

Clearwater County Fair.

The Clearwater county fair will be
held in Orofno October 5, 6, and T.
Save your best products and help
make the fair success. The busi-
ness men of Orofno have subscribed
about $400, and will do the best they
can in every way. The farmers can,
if they will, make these annual fairs
of value to them. Every premium
will be paid, just as was the case last
year. A county fair is, when the
farmers take the proper interest, a
place where they meet and study the
best products, compare methods and
learn how to produce better crops and
raise better stock. Let us make our
county fair worth while.

A definite move for the creation of
the Clearwater highway district was
made last week when petitions were
filed asking that an election be called
to submit the question of creating
highway district to the voters of the
proposed district. The petitions
were filed by Bruce Hersey, of Len
ore. The proposed district embraces
large territory to the north Of the
Clearwater river and extending from
a point nearly opposite Spalding
to the Clearwater county line, two
miles above Peck There are over
35, 600 acres in the proposed district
and the assessed value of the holdings
is in excess of the 81 $50, 600. The
petitions will come before the com
M ssloners at the meeting held the
latter part of next week and the board
will be urged to cal the election at
the earliest pos ssible date.
The boundaries of the district eX-
tend from the Clearwater river at the
Clearwater county line, north along
such county line to the crossing of
Bedrock creek, thence down Bedrock
creek to the reservation line, thence
along the reservation line to a point
about two miles west of Potlatch
creek, thence in southerly and south
easterly direction to the Clearwater
a a lu 70
ing, thence up the Clearwater river to
| the Clearwater county boundary, the
place of beginning.
1t was stated recently there was
no oppo ition to the plan for creating
the highway district or building the
permanent highway along the Clear
water river from the Clearwater line
to point opposite Spalding. The
plans also provide for building a
permanent highway up the Potlatch to
the Latah county line and lateral
highways from the river road to the
highlands. The matter of making the
surveys and estimates of cost of the
proposed improvements will be taken
up as soon as the highway district is
created and it is proposed to call the
election to vote the bonds for the pro-
posed improvements by early winter.
The people of the Clearwater Sec
tion have been interested in the mat
ter of river highway for the past
several years and it was stated re-
Gently they are now anxious to take
the necessary action to carry the
plans to completion. A large num-
ber of the farmers residing within
the proposed district are anxious to
use their teams and men in the con-
struction work and for this reason
there will be no time lost in making
the surveys and voting the bonds in
order that the construction work will
be under way before the close of the
present year. 1t was stated
there are not over 200 voters in
the territory embraced within the pro-
posed district and there are over 100
signers to The petitions filed last week
and more names are to be added as
soon as the other petitions are turned
in. 1t is stated there has not been
single case of the resident refusing
to sign the petition asking for the
election and practically every voter
has expressed himself as strongly in
favor of the proposed improvements.

demand page, book and line. The

suggestion. Watch and see.
