County Attorney Smith will leave
Sunday morning for Moscow to visit

A woman who can knit or sew for
the Red Cross and will not, is the
worst kind of a Stacker. She is a
traitor, and the proposed census will
single these slackers out and mark
them for public scorn. Women who
refuse to do Red Cross work deserve
to be fined. and If that does not bring
the desired results then what is the
matter with public ducking stool?
1t is the plan of those repairing the
Orofino bridge to fill in the ten or
twelve feet between the two tempor-
airy dykes around the damaged pier

dam is completed to pump out the
water around the pier. An examina-
tion of the pier and the underlying
river bed will then be'made and the
proper remedy applied. Ii possible
the old pier will be saved.

learned that Mr.. Jordan had gone up
and made an investigation, and that
the fellow would probably be fired.
