FOROs CREEK EXTENSION
GETS ANOTHER A|R|AG
Fraser, Idaho, April 8. 1917.

Sin reply to the further discussion
of the Ford's Creek Road, appearing
in the March Both issue of the Clear
water Republican. which was signed
in Mr.. Joseph Svoboda's name, but
written and handed in by Mr.. Don
inertia, feel justified in throwing the
limelight on the truth again.
This article states that it cannot
be disputed, but that it is truthful
and open handed. Websters diction-
ary does not define truth as being
composed of 9S per cent pure rubber
with lots Of stretch in it, but perhaps
you have later edition that | have
not seen.
was not aware that the Commits
sioners were in session March 5th. un-
til was in Orofino on business the
next day. You state l might have
learned few facts if had been
present at this session. If some of
your statements before the commits
sioners were as absrud as they have
been in your articles, l didn't miss
anything worth mentioning.
l did not mean that the hugh joke
was on Messrs. Svoboda and Merta,
but that the taxpayers would be the
butt of this joke when they paid the
bills and continued to do 90 to keep
up this expensive grade you propose.
Tot hot u<ro
to your petition which I circulated.
that l said that $4,000 which had been
spent would be thrown away. If you
had kindly gone to the county clerk
and examined this paper you would
have found there written e. 500 in
stead of 81, 900. Can you dispute the
fact that this is conservative esti-
mate.
In regard to the grade between the
Pech and Coontz places. the commits
sioners we'll know that this grade can
be remedied or road can be built
straight thru to the Schroeder place,
making an almost level road to the
Weippe country and opening up some
fine level farm land. without nearly
the expense that the canyon road
would cost. either to build or main
tain.
You say that the canyon road would
be a benefit to six places. namely
Jordan, Farrance. Erbs. Pavel. Merts
and Dorothy. said in my article
that Mr. Svoboda was practically the
only one who wonld have any tonnage
to haul to market on this road and !
still maintain the fact. Erb's land
is simply grazing land. with no resi-
dence. Mr.. Pavel does not live ir
the canyon. but what land he has
there is worked by Mr.. Svoboda
Mr.. Dorothy owns land in the canyon,
but is not living there. and his. al
we'll as his neighbors' market i.
Greer, which is nearly half - Close
as Orofino.
l am not fighting this grade solel,
for my own benefit but for the benefit
Of the whole neighborhood. Az fol
myself it is 4 matter Of business snt

There is one young man of selectiye draft age, who has registered all right but at the sight of a gun he wits in his boots. Our advice to him is to join the Seward Military Unit and lose some of the stage fright.

 That the dinner party recently giv- en by a young matron of Seward was a success goes without saying, but the man upon whom they had the joke reversed the play and they do tell us that one lady is just too peeyed for anything. The men folks smile but only on certain occasions.

 This coming Christmas may not mean much to the average Alaskan, but the New Year will certainly mean whole lot to the old rounder who has for years been accustomed to drop in for his mornings sip.
 The late Bill Nye knew of man who sid down a mountainside in a gold pan and when he reached the bottom the only evidence left of the slider were a few buttons and buckles, the rest having been all fried away. While a few people have tumbled off and down mountains in this part of Alaska, it is safe to say the custom will never become fad.

gallons per minute during the n
hundred-hour test just completed and
at times yielded 400 gallons per min
ute. S
The proposition of drilling wells for
the city's supply Of water was recon-
mended to the city commissioners by
Consulting Engineer Frederick Bass
of Minneapolis. and city officials are
we'll pleased with the result. It is
understood the city will drill six wells
in all to insure ample water supply.
Work will be held up pending action
by the commissioners to provide
finances. The well tested is 1872 feet
deep and the water is highly satisfac-
tory. The drilling Of wells has be-
come a necessity owing to the gradual
lowering Of the Mouse river which at
present supplies the city. Engineers
state that in a few years Mouse river
will be unable to supply water.

NO TIME SAVED
BY APPEALING
TO PRESIDENT
District Board Says Presi-
dent will not Grant many
Claims over State Decision

Bismarck, N. D, Sept ia whole
sale practice Of appealing from the
decision of the district board to the
president Is making a great amount
of needless work for the boards
clerical staff. In q majority Of in
stances it Is believed these appeals
are made not with a view to ultimate
discharge Of exemption but Is a means
of gaining time. The board announced
this morning that the registrant who
appeals with this end in view is DOOM
ed to disappointment, as drafted men
who have filed appeals will be taken
in the order of their liability for serv-
the president pass favorablyf upon
their appeals they will be discharged
or exempted, but when their time
m to go, pending q decision from
the president, they will be AIKEN. The
fact that they have appealed will
make no change in their status unless
the president decides that they should
be discharged or exempted.
1t is not regarded probable that the
president will grant any great num-
Der Of exemptions or discharges over
the head of the district board. Even
In cases where the district board has
granted discharges, In cases where 1t
is shown that the regtstrant has a
minor child, federal agents are re-
~SSo eA
they have found the registrant to have
an income aside from his salary.
The board also wishes 1t understood
that the denial of discharge on occu-
pational claims does not necessarily
mean that unfavorable action will be
taken on dependency claims, in cases
where the registrant has applied for
exemption on occupational grounds
over which the board has original jur-
isdtction and has at the same time
appealed from a decision Of the local
board denying him discharge on de-
pendency claims. In all of these cases
the regulations require two separate
notices. A regfstrant may be denied
a discharge on occupational grounds,
and still exempted because he has de-
pendents. A registrant who has filed
claims for exemption. on industrial
grounds Inc who also has appealed
from an adverse decision of the local
board on other grounds is advised not
to regard his case as finally decided
until he has received notice Oh action
IN both claims. EVIL

PATENTS ON SITES

for q reasonable period. Under pres

time that will permit investments to
yield returns and to have some assur-
ance Of stability.

CARDINAL
OF RHEIMS PLEADS
FOR RESTORATION
OF HIS CATHEDRAL

Paris, Sept. 13.-(Correspondence)
Suggestions are being publicly adj
vanced as to the destiny of Rheims

whether it should be restored as a
cathedral, transformed into some
sort of a national memorial dedicated
to those who have lost their lives in

Teutonic barbarism. The question
cannot be definitely decided, perhaps,
until the German guns have been
driven from Fort Brimont and the
final condition Of the historic fame,
after SO many months Of lombard
ment, can be as%certained.
