Before the next county campaign is
over the Clearwater Republican will
give facts that will show up the
real timber tools in Clearwater
county. And the facts will be
based on records and established by
proof. The people will not have to
take our word for it. Men who have
been playing confidence game, howl
ing thief! - "'thief!'' the while
picking the peoples pockets, will be
unmasked and exposed. The Clear
water Republican will ask for no
quarter and give none. We invite
the Orofino Tribune and all the rest
of the Blake gang to unlimber their
guns and go to it. On our part we
can assure the people that the 1916
county campaign will make the 1914
campaign resemble an iceberg. The
Oronfio Tribune will not find need of
complaining because the Republican
is threshing over old wheat. We will
have enough brand new material to
send the Blake gang to everlasting
predition, and don't you forget it, Mr..
Crow.

THE SACK PROBLEM

A most serious question now con-
fronts our farmers. The price of
grain sacks has advanced beyond all
reason. The producer faces ruin, at
least small returns on his investment
unless the situation is solved immedi-
ately. The farmers of other places
are facing the facts as they are.
Money has been raised and the grain
is to be handled in bulk. Steps
should be taken to handle the crop
tributary to Orofno in bulk. We
should have an elevator at Orofino.
We should cooperate with the farmer.
Here is an opportunity to convince
the farmer that Orofno really feels
an interest in the farmer. There
is no time to lose. Immediate steps
should be taken. There should be a
big public meeting in Orofno, and
everything possible done to meet this
emergency. Let us settle this sack
problem once for all time. Let us
provide facilities here in Orofino this
year for the handling of grain in
bulk.
With bridge at Ahsahka it would
mean the marketing at Orofino of
practically all the Cavendish and
Teakean crops, now going to Lenore
and Peck. Necessity compels the
farmer to seek bulk facilities.
Orofino should provide them this sum
mer. We should join hands with the
farmer, giving whatever financial as
sistance necessary, and bring business
our way.

Here are some facts we desire


Here are some facts we desire to
drive home.
l. County Assessor Hinckley
stuck strictly to the Nease cruise in
the 1915 assessment.
2. All timber companies were
treated exactly alike. If the Clear
water Timber Company showed an in
crease Of only seven per cent. it was
not the fault of the assessor, but of
the Nease cruise. And shows one
of two things: The cruise is crooked
or the former assessment of timber
companies by P. H. Blake was I'M
fair and unequal. Otherwise there
would be uniformity in timber valua-
tions.
The Nease cruise is now in court
the Clearwater Republican is not at
liberty to discuss this subject. The
facts, when they are made public,
will show that Assessor Hinckley has
been honest, fair and competent.
Hold your opinion until you get the
facts.

CANT SPLIT THE DEMOCRATS. ;

With few exceptions, it is all
moonshine to talk of there being any
anti-Blake sentiment in the demo-
cratic ranks of Clearwater county.
Has anybody heard of any democratic
protest over Blake domination? The
official organ of the democratic party
in Clearwater county only last week
came out and endorsed ]. w. Blake s
election as one of the delegates to
the state convention, and says the
Clearwater county democrats are un-
tied. And the Tribune ought to
know. The Tribune says that when
the Clearwater Republican talks bad
about Slippery Jim Blake and the
old gang it is attempting to disrupt
the democratic party. Think of this
And yet some will pretend that the
people ought to once more turn Clear
water county over to the democrats,
Jim Blake and the gang. Before the
Clearwater Republican is half
through the coming campaign the
Orofino Tribune and every other Blake
apologist will be calling on high
Heaven to save them from the dis
aster they are bringing on their own
heads. We mean that this paper has
facts justifying its opinion of Jim
Blake and his gang, and when these
facts are made public the people will
wonder how some men escape the PEN

Four years in control of Clearwater
county and the gang left $126, 900 of
debt as monument to remind the
deer pepul' that after all, the test
of tree is the fruit il bears. Two
years more and Clearwater would
have owed quarter of million or
more. A republican board, in less
than two years, has not only not run
the county into debt, but has almost
wiped out the democratic Blake gang
debt A few months more under
republican management and Clear
water county will be absolutely out
of debt. In other words the county
funds are NOW not being wasted.
Nobody is grating the tax payers !;
county funds are drawing interest;
county funds, instead of being used
by favored banks to enrich them, are
being used to pay off outstanding
warrants . and stop SEVEN PER
