PROGRESS ON MAIN LINE HELD
 UP BY FLAWS

The wagon roads along the main line north of Matanuska are in ex- tremely bad condition, due to the thawing of the ground. 1t has been found necessary to establish several camps for the large number of men engaged in corduroying and otherwise repairing the roads. Several station gangs have been added to the road forces. Under present conditions no more than 25OO pounds of freight can be hauled by the four-horse teams.
 Three more contracts have been let for grade work between Willow creek and KaShwitna. That section is now entirely covered by contractors, with the exception of three short stretches of light work.
 Navigation being now open station men and supplies are being shipped to a landing on the SuSitna river, about opposite Camp POI, for the work north of the KaShwitna.
 The driving of the Little Susitna structure has been completed and the crew has commenced on the first open ing north of the river.
 There were eos employees at work on the main line within this district for the week ending.
 A piledriver crew is being organized and the driver gotten in shape for shipment to the mouth of CaSwell creek.

POLITICAL, Junk

If the Idaho legislature completes
its work in the allotted sixty days it
will adjourn March 8.
With only few days left and the
program far from completed, there is
talk of an extra session, which shows
how much Nose knew when he talked
of W nding up the show in forty days.
But that was bunk for popular con
sumption, and not to be taken seri-
ously. Therefore, pickle the 40-day
bunk with that So, 600 year bee in
spector that Nose discovered, and with
them put that guy" that Nose
'yanked" out of the state capital
basement. Their add the North and
South Railroad, the million Dollar"
a year reduction in state taxes, and
forget them. They were never any
thing more than political bunk, the
creation of an office hungry Jew whose
desire for place and power knew
neither shame nor limit. When a
candidate for governor, and that can
didate a governor, will prostitute
religion, and make a mockery of
things sacred for the studied purpose
of getting votes; when this same man
will boast of his duplicity as 'Fine
Political STUNT as Governor Alex
ander did, the sooner a state can for
get it the better for the state. A
governor who will repudiate honest
public debts, lowering the standard of
morality in his state, isn't of the kind
that our sons and daughters should
emulate, and he, too, should be in
cluded in the political junk and for
gotten

BONDS FOR GOOD ROADS.

Moscow Post: No county in Idaho
will escape road bonds after this year
by simply voting against them at
home.
Down in Boise the Legislature is
working on a highway bond of ST.,
600. 900. This was recommended by
the state highway commission, and
all information coming up from Boise
is to the effect that it will go
through.
This bond, principal and interest,
will be paid by the whole state.
Latah county will pay her full share
in proportion to the assessed valua-
ton of her property.
There is another point to consider
also. The proceeds of this 81, 900, 900
state bonds issue will be expended in
the counties where state highways are
under const, uction. The counties that
have no state highways will get no
part of the state fund. The federal
government is operating on the same
principie-its great highway fund is
to be spent in the states that put up
dollar for dollar.
Both state and nation seem to have
adopted the motto THE Lord helps
them who help themselves.

1867 will go down in weather
history as the title-hoder for length
in Clearwater county. Let us see.
The snow commenced the week after
election, didn't it? That is what
some of the homesteaders insist, so
we are now ending our fourth
month of real winter, and reports say
that in some sections stock feed is al.
most gone. On Reds Prairie hay is
getting scarce ard stock will suffer
unless the break comes in a few DAYS.
Every hour that winter holds on now
is a serious matter for ranchers who
have livestock, and loss will result
unless winter gets hustle on him.
Last week the hills were almost bear.
buttercups We're out on the sidehills
along the Clearwater, and the weather
warmed up like real spring. The
winter took a new reef in its sails
and for several days we have been
having the 'steeth siege with Jack
Frost and Mr.. Snow. Think of
March ! and the country still in the
embrace of Winter! That is what we
call "getting ones goat !"

No man ever went from the United
States senate to the presidency; many
have attempted it. Mr.. Hughes was
the only justice of the supreme court
who ever ran for president.
Lincoln is the best loved president
and Washington the most admired.
The latter is our best example of the
arstocrat, while the former is the
most perfect type of the democratic.
James Buchanan was our only bach
elor president; Cleveland was married
during his first term. William Henry
Harrison had the largest presidential
family-ten children. Lincoln was
the tallest president, Van Buren, the
shortest, and Taft the largest.

Nobody wants war But peace at
the cost of our honor is unthinkable.
President Wilson should have done
what he is now doing at the time
the Lusitania was sunk and Amer
lean citizens murdered. He should
have made Mexico apologize when he
sent our navy to Vera Cruz; he should
have gone into Mexico when Mexican
bandits began violating our rights,
numbering our citizens, and raiding
our soil. Time shows that we have
only postponed trouble and made war
unavoidable. But mistakes don t
matter now. We are with President
Wilson to the limit. The hour has
arrived for united nation Of loyal
citizens, rallying around one flag in
the cause of right for humanity.

With all our Wanted prosperity, it
is doubtful if there ever was a time
in the history of the United States
when it was SO hard for the mass of
people especially the poorer classes,
to make both ends meet. The pur-
chasing power of dollar has shrunk
till one has to have powerful mag
nifying glass to see S. bill.
Measured in the necessities of life a
dollar doesn't even assume the pro-

THE CRIME OF CRIMES.

IL there is one crime against the
human family worse than all the rest
it is that of cornering food staples.
Here we have potatoes climbing to
the skies, ard onions higher than Ha-
man, and flour costing as much as
diamonds, while hurried investiga-
tion conducted recently shows that the
visible supply today in the United
States is ample, and that there is no
reason on earth, except that human
hogs, specializing in these commod-
tiles, have manipulated the market
and are creating fictitious price.
Does the producer get the benefit of
these high prices? Oh, no, most pro-
ducers have long since sold and the
food spectators. human leeches, rob
bers of the poor, beasts in human
form who prey on their fellow men,
are responsible for much of the
trouble Then, too, the railroads
are, for some reason, unable to fur
nish cars, being too much occupied
with delivering war munitions and
supplies for our fighting neighbors.
The government, too, seem sound
asleep, or too much engrossed with
pork barrel craftsmanship and the dis
tribution of political pie, or the writ
ing of perfumed notes to Carranza,
the German Emperor, or the political
advancement of DR.. Greyson, Presi-
dent Wilson $ personal friend, To look
after the common people and their
three meals a day. What is the Inter.
state Commerce Commission doing?
Why doesn't it know where the cars
are, and find out why the railroads
can't deliver food to starving Amer
leans first? If there is going to be
any starving let Uncle Sam see that
it isn't on this side of the ocean
when we have an abundance and to
spare. The trouble is that the demo-
cratic administration has been a
whole lot more engrossed with the
robbing of the North in the interest
of the South, squandering millions on
millions of public funds south of the
Mason and Dixon line as reward
for solid South vote for Woodrow
Wilson, than it has in the legitimate
business of government. Wilson has
played politics in all his appoint
ments, from the United States Su-
preme court down to the Urofno post
office, and substituted ring rule and
incompetency for civil service and
decency. The interstate Commerce
Commission, if its members are like
lot of the rest of the federal pie
brigade, have been more interested
in votes for Wilson than they have in
railroad regulation and proper dis
tribution of food for the people.

MEXICO AND HER PEOPLE.

Goodwin's Weekly: Ten months
ago General Pershing with his COM
mand was ordered to invade Mexico
to avenge, if possible, a mighty crime
and to kill a notorious assassin. He
did not succeed for the chief reason
that his hands were tied by his own
government.
When he undertook the invasion
there were dire threats of what would
happen, and it was told to us how
Mexicans of every degree were eager
to contest the invasion.
After ten months he has been re-
called and all the reports indicate that
the people deplore his recall, for they
have suffered nothing from his com
mand, but rather have enjoyed perfect
tranquility. Many of them follow
ed him out of their own country, in
the hope of continuing that peace on
our soil.
Our belief is that when President
Madero was killed, had President
Wilson ordered an army into that
country and given notice to the Mexi-
cans and the world that there was no
intention of conquest. that events in
that distracted country had become
intolerable, and that the invasion was
to do to Mexico what the United
States had done for Cuba; that Their
quiet would have almost immediately
followed, and stable government
would have been established and on,
soldiers would have long ago beer
recalled. Thus might Mexico have
been made place fit to live in, anc
all the anxiety and expense of guard
ing the border done away with. Al
that time it seemed like perfectly
plain proposition; it seems so yet.
The president cannot outgrow his
stubborn idea that all the bandits OF
Mexico need to become good citizen.
is to let them have their own way
when in truth they have not one ele
ment of progress in their brains. moi
one honest impulse in their souls.

SPREADING FEDERALISM.

Chester T. KEENAN, of Murray,
Idaho, in a letter to United States
Senator. protests against leasing
clauses in public land bills. He
shows how water powers and public
lands of eleven mountain states will
be placed in hands of an eastern eli
que to hold up. He shows that in
eleven mountain states 81 per cent of
area is being put under Pinchot leas-
ing system and will never come into
hands of citizens and freeholders

landlordsm is to displace all future
settlement &c 81 per cent area of
eleven western mountain states, and
substitute ever. spreading bureaucrats
living off taxpay ers. Mr.. KEENAN,
has this forceful arraignment of
spreading fuedalistic control that
ought to stir the blood of any wes-
terner, even a Senator. What coterie
of politicians, pray, would not like To
be administrators of our vast public
domain, greater than many Kingdoms
of Europe combined, with patronage,
power, perquIsites, sinecrues and
graft unlimited? He must be blind,
indeed, and wholly lacking in ordi-
nary human sagacity who cannot see
that when our Secretary general

GOOD ROAD BONDS.

The Orofino Tribune, on the matter
of good road bonds, reminds us of
the Irish section boss who reported to
his superior:
ION agin; on agin gone agin: Elan
igin. The Tribune has finally
Topped to the opposition, and is, as
usual. "agin the government. That
is where the timber corporations
stand, so far as the Republican can
ascertain, and where every non-res-
ident of the county, who owns a little
property here, but cares nothing for
the development of the county, will
probably stand. The Republican
proposes to make an effort to ascer-
tain the facts, and will attempt to
serve the best interests Of the entire
County. Our columns are open TO a
general discussion of the proposed
bond issue, regardless of which side
one favors, so the people themselves
may Sc tie this question. 1t is moth
ing short of shame TO inject politics
into it, because prominent democrats
are taking leading interest in be-
half of the bonds. and both demo-
Gratis and republicans have expressed
themselves as opposed to the bonds
To come out and inject politics into
the fight is about as mean and unprin-
cip,ed trick as the Oro6no Tribune
has ever been guilty of, and is little
short of an outrage.
The Tribune is not consistent. 1t
has repeatedly said that the timber
companies were opposed to internal
improvements; that they wanted to
get their timber off before the people
could tax them for roads, leaving the
people lot of worthless stump land
that would return little revenue.
Now the Tribune is playing into the
hands of the timber companies, if its
former position has any truth in it.
We want it emphaticaIly understood
that the $400, 600 bond proposition is
not our proposition; it is not repub-
lican proposition. 1t is not . dem
ocratic proposition. 1t originated
with a number of progressive citizens
who can see no other way to accomp-
lish much desired end, and who are
prompted solely by desire to advance
the best interests of our county.
The motive is worthy one; the aim
is laudable. Some of these gentle
men have already spent considerable
of their private funds in behalf Of the
good roads movement, and are as loyal
to Clearwater county as any set of
men we have. If they are mistaken
If there is better way to accomplish
the desired end; if the proposed bond
issue is wrong, and will injure the
county, they will be the first to back
up and oppose bonds.
The Republican is sure it is no time
to indulge in personalities; that it is
no time to divide forces and block
road improvement, if there is any
reasonable way to accomplish results
1t is no time for an Orofno paper to
kick over the traces and howl calamity.
