Will Test Highways I'm Court.

The county records show that on
May 20, thru Jas E. Babb of Lewis-
ton, the Potlatch Lumber Company
has appealed from the order of the
board of county commissioners con-
cerning the election to create the
Orofino Highway District. A few
days before the Potlatch Company
filed notice of an appeal from the
order of the board declaring the
Clearwater Highway District created.
In other words the company is asking
the court to knock out both PROPOSE
tions, and the cases will come up in
the District Court before Judge Steele
at the October term In this appeal
no information is available as to the
grounds upon which the appeals are
based This does not stop the pro-

crow. The thing that gets the

knows that the collapse of their bridge
will keep the skids under their po-
litical aspirations till Gabriel blows
the rim off his trumpet. That not
only makes Brother Grow hear dyna-
mite explosions, but makes the Oro-
fino Tribune see stars and other celes-

Why fume and sweat because our
worthy highway commissioners were
little slow in repairing the democratic
gang bridge pier blunder? How
could the. proceed until they had
bought about 1870 worth of plans for
dumping rock through hole into the
water?
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1917-06-01

The settling of the Orofino bridge
piers is an outrage because it is the
fruit of deliberate inefficiency. The
county officials knew they were not
properly placing those piers, just as
hundreds of citizers realized it at the
time 1t cannot be excused on the
ground of mistake. 1t vas palpa-
bic bluuder deliberately perpetrated.
The gang did not care. They built
the bridge primarily as sop to catch
Gilbert votes, and availed themselves
of the opportunity to graft 1870 under
the pretext of plans and specifications
and incompetent supervision. Any
bridge company on earth would gladly
have supplied better plans and given
better supervision free. The more
one thinks of this deal the ranker it
looms, and the wonder is that other
wise good people will attempt to ex-
cuse this sort of official jobbery just
becaue it was pulled off by a gang
under the cloak of democracy. If you
would make such deals impossible in
the future stop condoning them when
time or tide lays them bare Make
it ID unpopular for any official who
thus betrays a public trust.

that called for piers thirtysix inches
short, not of reachir G bedrock, but of
even reaching the bottom of the water
That it was generally known that the
job on the foundation was only pre-
tense and makeshift, the Republican
calls attention to the fact that hun
dreds of good, reliable citizens. when
the piers were beirg put in, protested
and condemned the job as makeshift
that would not stand
VIM. Foust of Eureka ridge is one
of a hundred responsible men who
predicted the Orofino bridge piers
would never stand. Mr.. Foust says:
81 hollered my head off, but it did no
good. Mr.. Foust had had expert
ence in bridge work on railroad con-
set piers in the Clearwater river short
of bedrock.
One of the first things the Republi-.
can editor heard when ne landed in
Orofino over three years ago, was
that the, bridge piers were fimsy, be
ing down into the gravel only couple
of feet, perhaps three, and that they
would probably NOT STAND. Peo-
Pile were generally outraged and felt
they had been skinned; they fairly
piled condemnation on condemnation.
Who was surprised when the first
pier settled three ard half feet :!
What was the reply of the Security
Bridge Company when called over the
phone ard told the Orotino bridge "is
about to collapse from the settling of
a pier?' What is the exclamation of
citizens when told the pier is set
! tling? "We are not surprised
/ We expected it
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1917-06-01

Take a good look as the picture.
Every farmer in the county helped to
build it, and will pay his share of the
cost of repairing or replacirg g it. The
bridge plan deal hits everybody.
If the bridge piers can stand the
food in their present tilted position,
setting loose on the bottom. when
they settle down to something solid,
who has the sffrontery to excuse the
failure of the county officials who
failed to have them put down there in
the first place
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1917-06-01

An effort is being made to lay the
blame for the settling Of the middle
bridge pier onto republican counl ~
officials who made an effort to dis
lodge lodged gs by blasting. The
facts in the case are that Ed Best,
employed to aid in saving the bridge,
put small charge of powder in a
sack and tied it to a rope. Holding
the rope he let the powder down to
the water, placing it above and just
urder a log, there letting the charge
explode. Mr.. Pest says only two
charges were put in the river, and
wonders how it could have damaged a
concrete pier some l3O feet away, with
fifteen or twenty feet of raging water
intervening. As matter of fact the
only pier that is still standing in
place is the one near which the pow
der was exploded.

has newspaper so biased, prejudiced,
unprinc pied and dishonest as to print
so palpabe a slander on public Off
cials, intimating the county commits
sioners. our highway board. or anyone
else attempted to destroy the bridge.
The Tribune has no evidence, ard it
lies when it saws there was street
rumor to this effect.

unacquainted with the facts, when it
reads this story appearing in last
week 5 Tribune. intimatin that our
Highway Commissioners, men Of
standing and integrity. and our county
board. farmersSof responsibility, are
guilty of this kind of Job?
Does the Oroiro Tribune hope to
advance the cause of the democratic
party in this county by publishing
such libel?
Do self-respecting democrats APP
prove of this sort of journalism. and
do they endorse it? Does it represent
democratic sentiment? We are sure
it does not, and that all good citizens
read the offending article with indig.
nation and humiliation, and deeply
regret it.
