Report Hunters Dogging Deer.

Reports reaching Orofino say
hunters are out running deer with
dogs, and that the law is being want
only violated not far from Orofino.
This is good way to annihilate the
deer, and settlers should resort to any
method to stop it. Poison the dogs.
That method has worked in other sec
tions. A deer dog should be out
lawed and shot on sight. The state
ought to put bounty on deer chasing
dogs, just as it does on coyotes, cou-
gar, and wolves. Possession of
hounds ought to be prima facia evil
dence they are kept for illegal pur-
poses. making it the owners business
to prove they are not used for that
business. Personally we are inclined
to the opinion that settlers should be
permitted by law to kill their meat.
but there is no excuse for chasing
deer with dogs.

STATE BOUNTY ON BEAR
SHOULD GO FOR COUGAR

The bounty on bear should be taken
off and that on cougar increased ma
terially. Hunters should be kept
after the cougar twelve months in
the year. 1t is estimated by expert
enced hunters that cougar kill two
deer per week on an average, or 100
a year. Bear probably never kill
deer. since they could not easily
catch one. 1t would be the part of
wisdom, il the state really wants to
protect deer, to pay $50 per cougar. a
bounty sufficiently ettractive to keep
hunters after the brutes all the year.
The hunting of cougar is most
strenuous work, involving tardships
and some danger. The brutes make
their lair in the most inaccessible
sections of the mountain country, and
can be successfully hunted only when
the snow makes it possible to trail
them. At such times it is not play
to follow them to a successful con-
clusion. On such trips the hunter
can carry no bed and little food. He
must sleep in the forest where night
overtakes him, for he must stay on
the trail. Lucky is the hunter who
can get half dozen in a year.

Automobiles

The automobile is a pop-eyed,
mechanical quadrured found in almost
all parts of the earth. They are Of
various sizes. shapes, and colo,s, and
feed on oils and ga oline. Some of
them live to be five years old.
They are largely nocturnal in their
habits, seeming to delight in tearing
over the country by night and leaving
a lot of mortuary matter in their
wake. The eyes Of an automobile
are so brigt that when they look upon
a person at night he is absolutely
blinded. They seem to enjoy the an
noynce they are able to infict upon
people in this way, but a monkey
wrench or two piloted into their face
generally breaks them of this nasty
habit.
The speed of an automobile is un-
known. Lovers of racing have paid
enormous sums for well-bred cars and
driven at what they thought would
prove to be the worlds record. Then
another car would whiz by the first
one and make it feel like hearse in
funeral procession. No. the speed
possibilities of the automobile are
not known. But next to gossip, il
is said to be the fastest thing or
earth. -Ex.

DIVORCED MOTHER WINS
SUIT FOR HALF SONS ESTATE

Attorneys Miles S.Johnson, attorney
for the plaintiff-respondent in the
case entitled Aletha Lamb VS.. E. H.
Brammer. yesterday, says Wednes-
days Lewiston Tribune, received
advices from the clerk of the su-
preme court that decision had been,
rendered affirming the decision Of the
lower court in which the plaintiff
was awarded 50. 437. so. The plaintiff
in this case is the former wife of the
defendant. 1t appears that at the
time of the marriage the plaintiff
owned an Indian allotment in Idaho
county, which was sold and the pro-
ceeds invested in ranch in the Rus
sell section of Clearwater county.
Later the defendant Brammer. secured
divorce and under the agreement
the wife decided her half interest in
the Russell property to their son,
Earl Brammer. the wife, under an
escrow agreement. receiving an init
ial payment of $500 and later 81, 500.
The son met death by drowning in the
Clearwater river and the mother then
instituted suit for half interest in
the his estate. She secured a judg-
ment for 50, 437. so, and from this
judgment the defendant appealed.
The attorneys in the case were Miles
S. johnson for the plaintiff and Clay
McNamee for the defendant.

A Narrow Escape.

There came near being serious ac-
cidnt during the great dam scene in
1.-THE Little Gypsy, the latest great
Fox feature picture. This dam was
constructed in the Catskill mountains
at a great cost. 1t measured 100 feet
long, rs feet wide, and fifty feet
across the opening, was ten feet deep
and contained 1000 tons of water.
While the fl lsl touches were being
added, a rope was stretched across
the opening so that if anyone lost
control of their canoes, or themselves,
while in the water, they could grab
this rope and be kept from going over
the edge of the dam. William F.
Fried, who was experimenting the
work Of construction was swept down
to the edge, and missing the rope,
was plunged, boat and all over the
ten foot drop to the stream below.
At first everyone thot Mr.. Fried was
badly injured. but were relieved to
find he hsuffered only few bruises

r. l.. Vandervor and Frank Jones,
two young men from Gonesee, who
are hunting cougar this winter in
the Big Island country, on the North
Fork, came out recently and left for
home to spend Christmas. Mr.. Van
dervor spent Saturday night in Oro-
fino enroute home. They will return
and spend the remainder of the
winter after the big brutes. hoping
to get more settled snow SO they can
get about better. The deer, he said,
are more numerous than usual, due,
he thinks. to the thinning out OF
cougar. He suggests that the state
take the bounty Of bear and increase
the cougar bourty.

Jollification Was A Humdinger.

The second annual New Years jol-
lification of the Orofino Commercial
club, last Monday evening at the X.
of P. hall, proved success beyond
expectation.
The hall was decorated with ever
greens, new years balloons, and paper
streamers. Small evergreen trees
were in every nook and corner covered
with cotton snow.
The program opened by the secre-
tary reading New Years Greeting and
regrets from out of town friends.
A couple of hours were then spent
playing Five Hundred.
Mesdames Leaser and P. M. John
son rendered several very pleasing
solos during the evening. During
the lunch the crowd enjoyed ballor
and paper streamer battle.
Mrs. Leaser entertained the audi.
ence with spanish dance.
The fun was somewhat marred by
the sad accident of DR.. E. A. Schill.
ing. 1t seems that he had eaten {
very hearty New Years dinner which
caused him to fall full length on the
floor in a faint. But with DR.

"FARMER" WANTS MERCHANT
TO TRADE At HOME. "

To the editor Of the Clearwater Re-
publican:
= We very often see in your paper
plea to the farmer to patronize home.
Now Mr.. editor we are very much in
favor of this custom but want to state
right here that there are two sides
to the question, and as the second has
never appeared in print we beg of you
to permit us space to present these
facts.
If our home merchants buy our pro-
duce of course he gets o,ir trade, but,
if on the other hand we offer him as
good pure apple cider vinegar as can
be bought of the factories, and home
cured bacon that many prefer to the
packing house product, and he an
swers that he is stocked up too heavy
already, and never offers any induce
ment for us to expect a market for
the same in the near future, what
can they expect but that we must be
forced to peddle or sell our surplus
produce to his very customers. And
why not send that cash that we re-
ceived to the mail order house if we
think that we can buy cheaper there ?
Now | don't want to be knocker,
but have talked with other producers
and they voice my sentiments, and are
of the opinion that our market could
be much better if the merchants
would patronize home.

Palouse Doctor Starts Free Clinic.

Recognizing the need of something
of sort for school children whose
parents are unable to pay for treat
ment for them, DR.. J. w. Stevenson
has arranged to hold free clinic at
his office in the Frederick block on
Saturdays from 9 to IL a. m. The
clinic will be for the examination and
treatment of worthy cases involving
the eye, ear, nose, throat and air pas
sages. and will include both operative
and non-operative conditions, and also
the fitting of glasses, where they may
be required. DIR. Stevenson informs
The Republic that he would like par
ents having children who are back
ward in their studies to bring them
for examination. The asme care
should be given where the parents
have no means with which to pay, as
would be given under other conditions.
1.-THE reasons for the clinic are two
fold. First, because there are child
rem in the families of limited means
who are in great need of such treat
ment. Second, because those who car
least afford to be separated from their
money areyso frequently victimized by
some periodical glass seller who fol
some unknown reason is permitted te
tamper with the most delicate orgar
of the body.
81 would ask that persons coming
from out of town to take advantage
of these clinics to let me know by ths
telephone. "-Palouse Republic.

Fidelitv Bank Wins In Supreme Court.

AuVlceS nave reached Lewiston says
the Tribune, that the supreme court
has reversed the decision of the dis
trict court in the case of the Fidelity
Bank of Orofino VS.. Charles Miller.
This is case from Clearwater county,
in which the plaintiff sued on prom
issory note in the sum of $500.
In enforcing collection of the note
the plaintiff bank attached land The
defendant contended that this land had
not gone to patent at the time the
debt was contracted and the attach
ment could not apply, due to the fed
eral law that prohibited lien on
lands pending final proof. The plain
tiff contended that regardless OF
whether the debt had been contracted
prior to the owner of the land receiv-
ing patent, that after final proof had
been made and patent issued the prop
erty would become subject to lien for
debt. Judge Steele held the land was
exempt from such liability and the
bank then appealed.
1t is understood that it is upon this
point that the supreme court reversed
the case in favor of the bank.

Edward H. Orcutt Dies.

Edward H. Orcutt, father of P. l..
Orcutt, died Tuesday evening Janu-
ary 2, at the age of 73 years. 9 months
and 10 days. Deceased was born
April l3, lS43. He came across the
plain in 1869, locating at Walla
Walla, where for some time he taught
school. Early in the 70's he came
up to the Palouse country, taking a
home stead at Diamond, some four
miles west of Colfax, WASH. where
the editor of the Clearwater Republi-
can was born July %. 1872. Deceased
taught school at Colfax, the first
schoo in the Columbia basin, the
building being little shack made
from whip-sawed slabs.
At odd times he read law, and
while he never took the examination
to be admitted to the bar he practiced
in the justice courts during early
days among the pioneers around Pa
louise, Wash. About 1882 he started
the Boomerang at Palouse, which be-
came one of the most widely known
papers of the Pacific Northwest.
Deceased served as volunteer dur
ing the Civil War first with the Gath
Minnesota, and later in the cavalry,
some Of the time around Fort SHELL
ing, Minnesota, where the soldiers
endured much hardship. The Sioux
Indians were then on the warpath,
and the soldiers did scout duty, pro-
tectihg settlers and holding the
Indians in check on the frontier. Mr..
Orcutt was with Sherman on his fam
Gus march to the sea, but took army
dysentary, and was sent home to die.
He r refused to comply with this order,
and got we'll in spite of the fact that
few survived after the disease had
reduced them to living skeletons.
He re. Unlisted and served to the close
of the war.
E. II. Orcutt was in some ways a
genius. He was man of brilliant
mind, and well educated as school
went in his day. He acquired con
slider rable knowledge of astronomy,
and always took lively interest in
politics. The body will be shipped to
Palouse Sunday morning for burial.
