Red Cross Must Have Millions.

Paul Clagstone and wife came in
by auto from Lewiston Wednesday
and in the evening addressed the cit
liens of Orofino in X. of P. hall on
the immediate needs of the Red Cross,
in the interest of the campaign to
raise at once $lOO, 900, 900 for this
work.
1t is not question of charity, but
an imperative duty, and every citizen
in the United States MUST do his
share right now. 1t will require
something like levy of two mills on
the assessed value of your property
to raise this money, and YOU MUST
raise it. Mr.. and Mrs. Clagstone
pointed out how, during the Spanish.
American war, the lack of hospital
and Red Cross supplies was responsible
for more deaths than were killed in
action. This must not happen this
time, and President Wilson has sent
the command broadcast for $l00, 900, 900
which must be raised Immediately.
The nation needs this money NOW,
not next month or next fall after you
have harvested your Is cent beans or
So. so wheat.
Nez Prece county must raise SIG,
600, and r. C. Beach has given 81, 600
of this. Clearwater coutny must
raise $1,000, and of this $l.500 has
been appo-tioned to Orofno and trib.
utary country.
DR.. John w. Givens presided al
Wednesdays meeting, and after Mr..
and Mrs. Clagstone had delivered
their appeal a permanent organization
was perfected by the election of Frank
Jones as chairman of the organization
whose business it is to raise thi
SO, 900 next week, without fail. Tn,
plan is to divide the district into sec
tion, to have some seven te ANS who's,
business it is to see every resident OF
the county, and to solicit every prop
erty owner in the county. Your shar,
is 81 for every $1,000 of your Al
sessed valuation. and you MUST d.
this without any hemming or squirm
ing. The government demands it o
the people, and it must come withir
seven days.
Our nation is at war. Already W,
have an army in France; today ou
navy is in European waters fighting
for all that is near and dear to Amer
lean citizens. They must not suffe
for want Of proper hospital service
for proper hospital supplies. for frs
aid bandages, for medicine. The,
must not come home crippled becaus
We failed to supply sufficient Ret
Cross service.

1t is all matter of teamwork, this
town development. Some towns, by
united effort, by getting together, by
pulling in one direction, build up
live, sound business centers They
encourage factories and create pay
rolls. This in turn gives employment
to labor and that makes demand for
more homes. More homes means
more business, and the more business
the more people the more people in
town the more market for the farmers
around the town.

Why Don't Sheriff Sullivan Do 1t?

The Orofno Tribune has been abus-
ing Sheriff Sullivan and the republi-
can county officials generally because,
it discovered, these officials were
squandering county funds employing
guard for the county court house
vaults for which the doors were miss
ing. |. R. Grow, the editor, and one
of the greatest discovelers the world
has yet produced, discovered that
the sheriff and his deputies should do
this special night guard of county
records, and thus save the people the
salary of this special night watch.
1t was a great discovery" 1t marks
Brother Crow as great discoverer,

What are the facts
Not one thread of truth in the whole

tured out of ignorance, prompted by
desire for another opportunity on
the part of the gang to rob the people

Three LinkerS Hold Convention.

The Clearwater Association of Odd
Fellows and Rebekahs met in Orotino
Wednesday and Thursday of this week
and held very enthusiastic session in
spite of small attendance, caused by
inability of farmers and members up
the river to attend. The lateness of
the season made it almost impossible
for farmers to get away. Wednesday
forenoon was an open session. F.
Elliott Smith, in the abs ence of
Mayor Holmberg, delivered most
pleasing address of welcome. Res
ponses were made by L. E. Doty and
Mrs. P. NJ. johnson of Orofino rem
dered pleasing solo, accompanied by
Miss Hulda Anderson. The session
closed by the singing of America.
The afternoon session was devoted
to lodge work. Mrs. Phebe Hannah
and Mrs. Maud Lomax being initiated.
In the evening the all the Rebekahs
and the Odd Fellows attended the Red
Cross meeting at the X. of p. hall.
After this the Odd Fellows convened
in their hall and gave U. q. Worden
the first degree. The Rebekahs were
entertained at the Rex theatre, and at
IL O'Clock both orders met in K of P.
hall and enjoyed a banquet. Quite a
numbre of me nbers of other lodges
registered and enjoyed the meetings.
Chester Groves, who drilled the Re-
bekah degree team, was especially
mentioned for his diligent and able
work, which put on the work excep-
tionally we'll.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: Jas. Effingham
of Sites, president; Elmer Kite,
Cavendish, vice president; c. w.

Remember the Soldier Boys.

The Republican is in receipt of Il
letter from John Loseth, who is now
with the United States military forces
guarding the Mexican line stationed
at Calexico, California. Just over
the line is Calexico, Mexico, one of
the most notorious towns in the world,
where is located the famous gambling
house, the largest in the world, world,
own by the governor of Lower Cali
fornia, Mexico. The American troops
are not permitted to cross the inter-
national line, and are denied the novel
sights presented to visitors to the
famous gambling house. Johnny
writes that he is in one of the hottest
places in the United States, and that
the men cannot drill or d. any kind
of work during the middle of the day.
He says he has seen no place from
Orofino to the Mexica line that looks
as good to him as Clearwater county,
Idaho, and ntimstes that he will be
back here when the war is over. Mr..
Loseth mailed the Republican very
pretty illustrated booklet of Ca[exico,
showing the resources and industries
of that territory. Cotton, of course,
tops the list, while cattle, are shipped
out in large number. Dates, grape
fruit, oranges and other tropical
fruits are important souces of wealth,
and with the Mexican situation closed
and peace established, great develop
ment is sure to follow. There are yet
vast tracts of undeveloped areas that
may be brought under irrigation cam
ais and made to produce. vast wealth.
Village Will Improve Streets.
The village council is now working

tage of the opportunity to get ,o'k

The exceptionally poor service which
Nevada people have long tolerated has
