The resolution was called up
this morning by Senator Rosen-

motion lost on tied vote OF 13

Why Holmberg Should be Defeated.

Two years ago the Republican sup
ported compromise in the village
election in the hope that it would
mean unity. We supported and voted
for Councilman Holmberg because he
stood for that program. After his
election he abused every principle of
compromise and became the most in
tense and uncompromising Orofino
Tribune democrat. He used his
public office to reward a democratic
paper to the detriment of the taxpay-
ers. and by his unfair and narrow pol
icy has stirred up discord, created
strife, and provoked dissention in our
little village. He has shown himself
most unworthy the votes of those who
would see our town compromise petty
squabbling and work for the upbuild-
ing of the town. Would it not be
unwise to re-elect such man?

The Clearwater Republican wants
harmony in Orofino. 1t dislikes being
forced to take sides in v;llgae cleo
tion. 1t would like to see the council
favor no paper, letting work to the
lowest bidder, and thereby remove
cause for strife. We would like to
see the council get above petty, I'M
worthy ward politics, the fruit of
which is dissention, hard feelings,
disorganization and town stagnation.
We want only square deal, with no
special favors, and this policy ought
to meet the approval of all citizens
who have the best interests of our
town at heart. We want neither an
Orofino Tribune nor a Clearwater Re-
publican council, but one that will
serve the interests of the people all
the time.

truly A Wonderful Soil.

The soil in the little valley among
the Brown county hills is admittedly
rich in productivity, but it is as arid
as the Sahara desert when compared
with the soil of Nebraska, if one
mans testimony may be believed.
A former Brown county farmer,
now living in Nebraska, was asked as
to the productiveness of the soil on
his new farm.
Never saw anything like it" was
the reply. "A neighbor has to NOV
the grass of his sodhouse floor every
day to find the baby, the grass grows
so tall in the night.
Pretty tall yarn, that was the
response.

babies with cradle for only single
baby. The that kid has to sleep on
