PREMIER KERENSKY EXPRESSES
 CONFIDENCE GOVERNMENT WILL WIN

Petrograd, Sept. 12-In answer to a request. Premier Kerensky has made the following statement to The As- sociated Press for transmission to the American people:
 In view of the fact that the Cabinet is sitting uninterruptedly, discussing measures, the premature announce ment of which is impossible, am ob- liged to withhold a general statement until later, when conditions and pros- poets may be clearer than now. You may, nevertheless, announce the fol- following:
 The situation with respect to the conf1ictd between the Provisional gov ernment and the revo1ting Commander in Chief is more serious than we ear- Her contemplated, and it is impossible to predict what developments may en- sue in the next few hours. But as fe- gards the fundamental position there

LONDON SURPRISED
 AT SWEDISH VIEW

London, Sept. 12-The statement from the Swedish foreign office that the Swedish undertaking to cease sending German messages applied only to North America caused a great surprise here, where the facts have been we'll known for a long time among diplomats and others.
 When the British government took up. the matter with Sweden in 1915 assurances were given by the Swedish foreign foreign office to the British minister in Stockholm and by the Swedish minister in London, it is de- clared, that the use of Swedish diplo- matic facilities for the transmission of German messages should cease. There were no limitations, or reserva- tions of any sort, it is said.

is no doubt.I The fundamental posi- tion is that the Petrograd Supreme government is absolutely unanimous in favor of all decisive measures which we have prepared, and are pre- pairing against the present attempts by a military rebel, in alliance with the reactionary elements of the coun- try, to exploit the fatherland's inter nal troubles in order to effect coun- with the design of rob- bing the Russian peoples of their hard won liberties.
 So much for the government. Re- garding the nation, I declare that 1 have no doubt whatever that the mass of the population is behind the gov ernment in its new fight for freedom and, that being so, I have no doubt whatever about the triumph of our cause. In that-triumph have abso- lute and unqualified faith.

Manufacturers of Bridgeport will be asked to aid in the search for draft evaders from this and other cities. The police in the round up campaign that has begun will ask every employment head of factories in this city to check up the registration cards held by men dn their employ to ascertain If any of the numbers included are such as are sought by draft officials here and else- where in the country.

Farmer Gives Reasons
For Road Location

Joseph Svoboda, who owns a farm
near the top of the Fords creek grade,
was in Orotino Tuesday. He takes
exceptions to an article appearing in
a recent issue of the Orotino Tribune
in which VIM. Eby and f. A Will
mot are quoted as saying: we hope
the county commissioners will COM
plete the upper end of the Fords creek
grade by continuing it as laid ont to
point near the corner of the Wilmot
farm, instead of changing the road
to follow further up the canyon in an
easterly direction.
Mr.. Svoboia asks the Republican to
quote him as saying: "The county has
not yet acquired al the right of way
for the road from where it now ends
up to the Wilmot corner, neither Okey
Jordan nor Frank Pavel having given
any road across their farms, and each
must be crossed. So the road has not
yet been laid out. 1t is 1850 feet of
rock work to complete this road to the
Wilmot corner, and the expense will
be heavy. When completed the grade
will also be heavier than by the lower
route, while the lower route is one

SilO Increases Profits
On Dan Carr Farm

The Republican is sure the silo is
the one best proposition for Clear
water county. Wednesday we had a
talk with Dan Carr, living on the
Fords Creek bench, and the story he
tells of his first years experience
with ensilage makes interesting and
valuable reading. Mr.. Carr put up
two Cotton silos last fall, filling them
with we'll prepared corn ensilage.
He cut the stalks into thin slices,
and made very good grade of feed.
he now discovers. Some of his corn,
he thinks, made as high as Is tons
per acre, and it all yielded we'll, CIV
ing him several times the feed per
acre that he ever had gotten from the
same area Of land. He has now feed
almost five months, and has never had
his stock in such good condition.
Last winter he fattened and mar
keted a car of beef fattened almost
solely on ensilage, and had the best
beef he has ever raised and produced
it at the lowest price per pound he
has ever produced beef on his farm.
During the winter and spring he
has had some 25 or 80 cows come
fresh, and whereas dry fed cows
have always given him more or less
trouble about cleaning, not one COW
has had the least bit of trouble on ar
ensilage diet. More than this ensil.
age has produced more milk and cream
with less ground feed than he has
heretofore feed. In fact Mr.. Carr's
milch cows have had no grain, the
ensilage and little dry hay fol
roughage, being entirely sufficient
So well pleased is Mr.. Carr with th'
results of his silo experiments that HI
will build two more cotton silos thi
summer, giving him 800 tons capac
ity, and regrets that he was so Ion,
waking up to a realization of tn

value of the slo. His neighbors
have also seen the light, and several
others will get in inc this year.
The Carr demonstration has had
far-reaching influence. since several
of Mr.. Carr's friends in the Weippe
and Fraser sections have been con-
verted, and will erect silos this year.
Mr.. Carr says that as land values
increase the farmer must get more
feed from an acre of land, and the
silo solves this problem. Here is the
way he expressed it: 40 acres put
into silo will produce more feed,
and better feed, than 200 acres
handled in the old way cut for dry
feed
"a slo for every farm is the
slogan that will win solid prosperity
for our farmers. Other states and
other counties have made the demon
stration ard proven the value of the
silo. 1t is the great mortgage
litter, makes ten blades of grass
grow where only one grew before.
1t will do as much for Clearwater
county farmers. Build a slo and
begin making the farm pay.
G. Kalb of Orofino, designed the
Dan Carr silos, which are pronounced
unique in construction, and SO built as
to make them very durable. Mr..
Carr is so we'll pleased that he will
construct two more of the same de-
sign. Mr.. Kalb, the designer, has
applied for a patent, and would be
pleased to discuss silos with inter.
ested farmers. The Kalb silo is
built of wood, two one.inch walls
with six-inch air space between
and is scientifically designed. While
the inner wall must be of good mat
erial, the outer wall can utilize th'
I cheaper grades of lumber, according
to Mr.. Carr, and for good silo can
not be excelled for this section.

deer seemed tame when the men went
out to take hand in the fight. The
deer stood still while the coyotes fled.
Mr.. Crabb says the deer can live
thru. so far as food is concerned, but
are easy prey for coyotes. and are be-
ing slaughtered by these brptes. He
saw one dead deer on the ice partly
eaten by coyotes, and could see the
blood stained snow where it had come
down the side hill onto the ice, evil
dently in the last struggles with the
coyotes.

and a quarter miles shorter to the
Clint Perkins place. There is no
trouble about the right of way thru
the lower route, and besides this
lower route will have no grade more
than 6 per cent, while much of it will
not exceed 2 per cent. There is
more to this road which ever way it
goes, than the wishes of us local far
mers. 1t is the trunk highway for
the entire Fraser, Weippe and Pierce
sections to their county seat. and lay
ing aside personal interests of inter
ested farmers who naturally want the
main travelled road passed their
farms, the county commissioners, in
considering the various routes, will
surely take cost of COM Rtructon, dis
tance and grades into consideration
The lower route is shorter by a mile
and quarter; it is much lower in
grade, while the upper road, between
Perkin and the Coontz farms, has
grades as steep as Is per cent. Com
pare this with the lower grade with a
maximum grade of 6 per cent, but
most of it under 2 per cent, and a
saving in distance of $500 feet.

Idaho Game Officials
Glass Ford AS Animal

of the Fish and Game Laws of
Idaho. Being the owner of Ford,

fur bearing animal, and is there an

them? After reading the bookle the

farmer wants to know whether Ford
should be trapped, sene ed, or caught
in nets, and the best kind of bait to
use. Do Fords come under the juris-
diction of game waldens, and is it
violation of the law to salt Fords
down for winter use? If a Ford is
not classified as fur-b bearing animal,
or fish, is it game bird, and if so,
is it unlawful TO stuff and mount them
for exhibition purposes?
