MRS. FOHL REELECTED
BY UNANIMOUS BALLOT

Mrs. Theodore Fohl, at the school
election Monday, was reelected by a
unanimous vote, very fire compli-
ment for her service as school director
for the past two years. She has
given the schools her serious consider
alton, and her good business Judgment
has been of value to the district. The
people showed their appreciation by
making her reelection unanimous.
With but one dissenting vote the 10
mills special tax carried, and it can
now be announced definitely that the
proposed gymnasium will be erected
this summer. Approximately So, $50
W II be available for this purpose,
and to this will be added at least
81, 800 of outside funds, assuring a
gymnasium costing 81, 500 or SIS, 200.
With the remodeling of l. o. o. F.
hall the High school is without any
place for basket ball or other neces-
sary adjuncts, : and this, coupled with
the need for more room for other
work, brought the gymnasium to a
head and determined the plans for
providing the funds.

sOUPBONE DEMOCRATS RE-
NOMINATE THEMSELVES

The democrats met in the Orofino
Commercial club rooms Friday night
and proceeded to renominate the pres
ent democratic village council. Soup
bone Curtis said he had enoug gh and
Fred Luttropp was named to fill the
vacancy. The ticket is A. E. Holm
berg, Frank Jones, Frank Ze lepka,
Nels Halgeson and Fred Luttropp.
Twenty-one were present, inc luding
such stalwarts as Pat Blake, Frank
Zelenka, l. R. Crow, Robt. Swaden-
er, ct al.
The meeting was really a secret
caucus of the Orofino Tribune a nd the
Blakes. whose purpose is to perpetu-
ate rank waste of village fur Ids for
the benefit of l. r. Crow and what
ever surveyor the bunch sees fit to
favor. The people of Orofino pay
for this kind of nonsense. ard will
continue to do so if Zelenka can con.
tinue to rim the council.
The Republican wishes to explain
that Mr.. Jones was alone in an effort
to protect the interests of the taxpay-
ers of the village when the council
lined up for graft for the 0rofino
Tribune, and opposed the holdup for
the Blake gang organ. Mr.. Halge-
son, appointed to fill the vacancy OF
Noble, was not then a member of the
council. Mr.. Luttropp is a new
man, and the Republican would not
like to believe that if elected he
would be found supporting any graft
for l. R. Crow or anyone else.

GOVERNOR ALEXANDER NAMES
H|CHWAy COMMISSIONERS

A wire from Boise under date of
April IA stated that Governor Alexan-
der had named Matt Erb of Greer,
Samson Snyder of Orofino and Roy
LeBaron of Cavendish commissioners
Of the newly created Clearwater High
way District. With the creation Of
this district the county board ceased
TO have any jurisdiction whatever
over county roads or bridges, and all
road overseers automatically cease to
have any authority for their. .exisence.
The highway commissioners must or
ganize by electing clerk, surveyor,
etc. and are then ready for action.
The Republican has been unble to dis
cover just where the funds for oper-
alton are to come from, however, but
presume there is some way provided.

HOME GUARD COMPANY
ORGANIZED IN OROF|MO

Steps for the organization of a
company of Home Guards were started
Saturday. At meeting in I.O.O.F.
hall in the afternoon permanent or
ganization was perfected by the elec-
tion of F. E. Smith, president; w
B. Willy, vice president. and c. A.
Fisher, military vice president. DR..
Wells was chosen secretary and Prof.
Jolliffe treasurer.
Mr.. Fisher got busy at once and Tues
day night at z 80 gave the company
their first drill. Thirty men reported
and for an hour were put thru the pre-
liminary PAGES. Mr.. Fisher was chos-
en- captain because of his military
training at the University of Idaho,
having charge of the college cadets
during the Spanish-American war, in
the absence of the regular army Off
Ger. The second drill was held last
evening, and regular drills two or
three times week will take place
during the next three months.
The objects and purposes of a Home
Guard company are:
"We. the undersigned agree to
form ourselves into an organization to
be known as the ------ Home
Guards, the aims and purposes being
to aid company - or any other mill
tary organization hereafter organized
in obtaining recruits;
''To lend them or any other mill
tary organization which may be called
into existence our moral and financial
support;
''TO assist to the utmost any of
their relatives or friends who are de-
pendent on them while they are in
the service of the government;
To undertake military duty and
training under such officers as may
hereafter be selected, and do such
other duties as may be prescribed by
authority;
''To sustain the actions of the pres
ident and congress and assist them
and the army and navy to our fullest
extent;
ITO teach our youth and young mer
and women loyalty to the flag and the
government it represents;
To assist the Red Cross society ir
its noble work;
To stop all reasonable words anc
actions by any individual whereby the
nation or the flag is insulted or de.
graded;
'To try to elevate to higher
standard the duties and obligations Of
an American citizen.

they were at. They consulted
with the Spokane engineer to see if
he could locate them. "Would the
railroad company stand for such
hlunder?''
After the paving is completed the
village fathers expect to get down to
the depot from the paving by spending
some more money for road that the
gentlemen started out to pave.
1t is not material whether the
present arrangements are good or bad.
The material fact is that these men
are guilty of letting contract for
5000 yards Of paving and old not
know whether they were paving to
the depot or the insane asylum. And
the strong point made in renominat-
ing the old council was that they are
the only people in Orotino competent
to look after paving.

|NGREO HANSON IS LOYAL
TO HIS AOUPTEO COUNTRY

lngred Hanson, one of the adopted
sons of Uncle Sam, has not forgotten
why he came to America, and ex-
presses a sentiment that should sink
deep into the heart of every foreign
born resident in this free land. He
says he came here because of the op-
portunities in this great country,
having but one dollar in money, and
in debt for his ticket. The first year
he paid that debt and had 500 to the
good. He has enjoyed Freedom of
action and thought, Freedom to be a
man, and has acquired enough land to
be independent. He has been granted
all rights that any citizen of the
country possesses, and been given the
protection of the Stars and Stripes,
free to exercises his mind and body
as he likes, and to acquire all that
his hands were able by honest en-
deavor. Down in his heart is love
for this country, in whose behalf
lngred Hanson is ready to make what
ever sacrifice his adopted country may
require.
They talk about this country, -
said Mr.. Hanson, ''but would any of
these ingrates return to Europe to
live? Not one of them. Taxes in
the old country are higher than have
ever paid in the United States, and
wages lower and living conditions
harder. The United States is good
enoug for me, and if others don't like
it they ought to return to Europe. -

A surprise was sprung Saturday
when a woman's ticket was filed with
Mesdames Theo. Fohl, Samson Sny-
der, VIM. Chandler, H. D. Britain and
E. H. Atherton as the candidates.
Those working for a mems ticket to
oppose the democratic ticket, when
the women's ticket was filed, permit
ted the matter to rest with two tick
cts in the field, and the third ticket
was not filed. The ladies are all
prominent and promise, if elected,
to work for the best interests of the
village. The report vigorously cir
culated that they would close up the
pool halls caused stir among the
men, and the Republican at once got
into touch with Mrs. Fohl over the
phone. She said that if elected she
would favor no radical policy that
she had made no such state ement.
She said she recognized the need of
places where men might meet, and
the cigar stores and pool halls would
not be interferred with if they were
obeying the state laws governing such
places. Mrs. Britain expressed SIM
liar sentiments, declaring she had
made no statement of this nature, but
had heard a lady make statement
during the school election, when
group of ladies were joking her and

but one desire and intention I'd work
for the best interests of Orofnp, and
the Republican will guarantee that
they will prove as competent as any
council of men the village has ever
elected. Women will beat the men
all hollow when it comes I'd civic
pride. They will take more pride in
having a neat town than men usually
are capable of taking, and will beat
the men in keeping the streets and
alleys and sidewalks in good condi-
tion. Does any man think the women
will stand for all these broken, di-
lapidated sidewalks? Do you suppose
the women will stand for cows roam
ing the village and eating off flower
beds! Do you suppose our women
will permit the town cows to destroy
lawns and break up sidewalks by
walking on them? Do you suppose
these women would let paving con-
tract not know whether they were
paving to the Northern Pacific depot
or the North Idaho Insane Asy ylum
Well, our men cou neil, four of them
asking for reelection, did that very
thing. Agent krogh. wher the
graders were on the job, called some
of the councilmen over the phone.
The conversation ran something like
this:
