said all that could be expected OF the
remarkable and disinterested artists
grouped under the 'tricot' and the

usual order and in spite of the talents
Of the singers and actors, the principal
attraction of this gathering was In the
audience rather than on the stage.

Deer Now Protect Themselves.

John Larson and Frank Larkins,
who own ranches on the North Fork
five miles above the Little North
Fork, came down the river to Ahsahka
a few days ago on hand raft. With
five feet of snow at their cabins the
snow wedged out at Big Island, and
from Big Island down they counted 50
deer along the river. They saw one
coyote, but say the woods are full of
them and that the brutes have
slaughtered the deer something fear
full during the winter. With the ice
out of the river the deer are in little
danger, and will now be able to take
care of themselves. Forest rangers,
according to Mr.. Larson, report 16
feet of snow at Stocking Meadows,
twelve miles from the Larson home
stead, with snow fall of about two
and half feet in March.

ANNUAL 6! gg9D !! !! !! !! ROADS !! DAY i
WEDNESDAY, APRIL Is

At the meeting of the Commercial
Club Tuesday evening it was decided
to have the annual Cleanup We1nes-
day, April 25. 1t is also Good Roads
Day for Orofino, and every man.
woman and child in town is expected
to get busy at the designated time.
Begin at home and clean up. Collect
all rubbish that will not burn, putting

venient for the teams which will haul
it away without cost. Everybody is
expected to join the movement, and do

No excuses accepted. These annual
Good Roads days in Orofino have been
made the occasion for some splendid
road improvement, two years ago the
men rocking and graveling the mud

it the best piece of road in the county.
We might complete the job up past
the Christian church to the village
limits, connecting with the highway
to Glenwood, now being graveled by
the county. The big thing is that we
improve some piece of road.

TOP NOTCH WREsTLERS
GRAPPLE HERE APRIL 70

Orofino is to have an opportunity
next Friday evening to see two great
wrestlers perform. Last night Chas
Wilson met Sandow in Orofno and
took two falls in fine exhibition.
Ted Thye, of Spokane. one of the best
professional wrestlers in the United
States, and man who aspires for
championship laurels. sent a chal-
lenge to the winner of last night g
match, and Thye and Wilson will meet
in Orofino Friday night, April 20.
Thye is wonderful wrestler, man
who stands at the top of the profess
sion, and is by far the fastest man
who has ever gone onto a mat in Oro-
fino. Wilson made monkey of
"Iron" Chamberlain in Lewiston,
offering to thow him four times in an
hour, showing his class.

Leather Costs Money

more now than it did year or SO ago,
could have received some information
on the subject if he had been at c. E.

when five bundles of leather, contain

livered from the depot, and had lin
quired as to the cost of leather. The
invoices showed that the Is hides cost
Mr.. Day, exclusive of freight charges,
$507 80. This explains, to some ex-
tent, the high cost of harness these

Weighing U. S. Mail on all Railroads.

General weighing of the mail by
the government on railroads began on
March q and will continue for 35
days The object is to actually de-
termine what the roads earn under the
old system and the new one now being
tried out, involving space basis.
Both the weight of the mail, :"
says Traffic Manager Thrall of the
Southern Pacific, land the space it
occupies on each train will be care
fully tabulated. Then the remuner
alton due to the road on either system
of pay will be determined and sub
mitted to the Interstate Commerce
commission, which is to definitely de-
eide with these facts as to foundation
what fair basis would be.
''Under the act of Congress ap-
proved July 2sth, 1916, the Interstate
Commerce Commission was empowered
and directed to determine and fix
reasonable rates and compensation for
the transportation of the United
States mail on common carriers and
the service in connection Herewith.
For years the railways have con-
tended that the pay for carrying the
mail was inadequate, and, after a
number of hearings and exhaustive in
vestigations both by congress and
special commissions, the whole ques-
tion of mail transportation route was
turned over to the Interestat Com
merce Commission. This is as it
should be for the commission regu-
lates passenger, freight and express
rates and is fully qualified and equip
ped to pass on fair and reasonable

FARM markets DEPART
MEhT OFFERS SUGGESTION,

1t is quite possible because of
shortage of food for work horses that
the farmers teams will not have
strength to put in the required crops,
and because of present indications of
war and it's attendant needs and hard
ships, every available acre of land in
our state should be planted to some
kind of crop that will sustain life in
man and beast.
In view of these conditions, we are
writing you to learn your opinion re-
lative to the buying of small farm
tractors that can be utilized by few
farmers cooperating together. Is it
possible that a tractor could be pur-
chased through some responsible firm
in your section of the state, provided
we can find for you suitable machine
and furnish the same at cost?
We will be able to help you per-
haps in purchase of hay too, if de-
sired. Any aid this office can give
you and the people of your section of
the state, will most gladly be ten

off AGAIN, GAIN, on !H,!!| AGAIN., !!,,.,,,,, !.

The county board, which met Mon
day, canvassed the vote on the high.
way election and Tuesday morning
declared the district created. I'm
mediately afterwards a petition was
filed asking for the creation Of the
Orofino Highway district, taking in
about So, 500, 900 of valuation, and in
cluding the central portion Of the
county back to the North Fork. in
cluding the Teakean country, and
running up the North Fork from Dent
to about Big Island and there going
north to include township or two Of
timber, then east to about the eastern
boundry of Pierce Highway, then
south to the northeast corner of that
district and then with Pierce High
way as the boundary going south with
that district, swinging back towards
Orofino SO as to take in the Fords
creek grade, but leaving Fraser,
Greer and Weippe with the Greer
grade. The Orofino Highway will
have the Ahsahka, Whiskey creek.
Eureka ridge, Gilbert and Fords creek
grades, also the grade to Peck from
Cavendish, and the road up the North
Fork to Dent to take care of, roads
that the entire county must occasion
ally use, and ought to help maintain.
The Jones law, passed by the demo-
Gratis at the recent session of the leg
islature, permitting the division of a
highway, left Orofino and the rest of
the county helpless, regardless Of the
Clearwater Highway, and forced the
creation of the Orofino district. which
was laid out in such way that
either Elk River or Weippe, both
dissatisfied with Orofino, may create
local districts and go it alone. Oro-
fino has no desire to force either of
these districts into anything they do
not like, and many regret they were
not left out of the original district.
The Republican has felt for some-
time that the Clearwater Highway
was a bad blunder, and the Jones law
simply made it impossible. A petit
tion endorsing Matt Erb of Greer,
Roy LeBaron of Cavendish and Sam
son Snyder of Orofino, for commits
sioners of the Clearwater Highway
District, has been forwarded to Gov
ernor Alexander. The Orofino Com
mercial Club added its endorsement to
these gentlemen.
If the Orofino Highway is created
Mr.. Snyder and Mr.. LeBaron will be
within the new district and probably
be appointed with one other gentle
man, leaving two vacancies in the or
iginal highway, which is, at best,
hugh joke. Weippe and Elk River
will no doubt divide the balance of
the county and each have a set of
highway commissioners.

time ago with the intention of re-
naming for year and perhaps per-
manently. They say they did not
like the climate. the prospects for

And SO they promptly hiked for the
west again. They have rented the

cupied by Ed Crandall and there Mr..
Stephens is enjoying an attack of the

HEN IS THE BIGGEST EATER
Fowl Turns Out More Food, Accord ing to Weight, Than Best Dairy
 Cow-MarVeI of Efficiency.

The hen is the biggest eater of all domestic animals. A three and one half pound hen, according to Doctor Rice of Cornell, eill eat no pounds of food in a year. She will lay 30 pounds of eggs, or perhaps more. Eggs arel highly concentrated food, and the hen that transforms a hundred pounds of bran, grass, grain and gravel, and other scraps into one-third their weight of fresh eggs, is a marvel of efficiency. The hen therefore turns out more food, according to her weight, than the best dairy COW.
