Hinckley's Assessment of
Timber Reduced 10 Per cent

Some weeks ago the democrats Of
Clearwater county, or at least the
central committee. headed by I. R.
Crow. met and passed resolution
abking the state board of eQualiza-
tom TO INCREASE timber valua-
lons in Clearwater county.
The meaning Of this was that the
xaluations made BY Assessor Hinck-
Icy were too low. And the purpose
of this resolution was to discredit
The republicans In Clearwater county
ana give color to the bunk that the
l6u1scrattc rpapsr n publishing. >
About the same time q represen-
tatiye Of the timber companies ap-
peared before the Clearwater coun-
sty boara and demanded q reduction
OF timber valuations and produced
figures to show that the republicans
in Clearwater county had the high
est valuation on timber Of any Of
the counties. In the state, In other
words Hinckley was already toe
high.
I Now let us drive home two facts
1. When the democrats passed
that resolution charging that the
Hinckley assessment was too low;
that the republicans were the en-
emies OF the farmers and the tools
of the timber. interests, the demo
Gratis were guilty Of playing dirty
politics: they were without one sin
gle fact to warrant the resolution
ana they dare not stand up and de-
ny 1t. 1t was dishonorable, dis
reputable proceeding, and has re-
suited in their humiliation and dis
comfort. For every democrat wht
participated In that meeting, and
VOC afnr that resolution, is guilty
Of deliberate deception and fals'
pretense. 1t was rank rot.

Phil Hartman, in his letter to us
this week, says he commends the
stand taken by the Republican in
regard to the Boise matter with
Townley. IF the farmers want to
take SIS worth Of chips in the
game whose business Is it?" That
is the way our friend expresses 1t.
Which sounds just like Phil. He
has an original way OF driving a
point home that takes, ana we have
found him always inclined to be
fair with the other fellow. At the
convention Of merchants at the
Idaho University Mr.. Hartman hi,
the nail when he said that he made
1t his business to sell goods to tht
people who came into his store, and
did not try to convert them to hi,
politics and religion. II don't tr,
to change them over to my views
but accept them as And them"
We thot this good advice to bus
mess men. We admired the frank
ness OF Mr.. Hartman in expressin,
his opinions. And when he write
that his family have q warm feel
| ing for the Orofino people and ou
schools. we know 1t comes from tn
heart. Orof1no also likes the Hart
man children, for they are manly
womanly young people who spen
the year studiously. and attende,
strictly to their work. Mr.. Hartman
has right to be proud Of them.

RECEPTION FOR DIR. FAIRLY.

The esteem in which DR.. ]. M.
Fairly is held in the community in
which he has practiced his profess
sion for the past fourteen years
was demonstrated last evening when
the citizens rendered him a public
reception. Odd Fellows hall was
simply jammed, and people stood in
the hal and on the sidewalk dtsap-
;Dointed that they could not get In.
It was most informal affair. just
the kind OF time DR.. Fairly most
appreciated. where his neighbors
came as friends and had q social
visit. There was no speech making
because the doctor draws the line
when the honors are up to him.
He will not make the attempt, and
yet he Is good talker and an in
teresting conversationalist. Punch
and waters were served by the Red
Cross ladies. Everybody talked to
everybody they could manage to
reach, and during the evening the
people all managed to get word
with the doctor and to bid him God
speed. Farmers came in from all
the surrounding country, and repre-
sentatives from rs far as Pierce
drove In by auto to say good bye
and shake the doctor by the hand.
In the fourteen years DR.. Fairly
has practiced in Clearwater county
he has been In the homes of most
Of the people; he has ministered
to them when affiiction has stricken
them, and sympathized with them
when the physician's skill has been
unable to stay the hand Of death
In the saddest hours Of the home
life, in the hours of heartache the
family secrets have been unfolded
as the doctor has been called tC

crowd that gathered to pay HIN
their respects were youths usheret
into life by this doctor, and whose

When we think of the intimat'
relation of the doctor with the fam

more than neighbor or friend
When we think how DIR. Fairly, il
these fourteen years of practice
has ridden through rain and snow
and suffered the hardships of lonl
/ trips over canyon trails to wait OF
the sick, and has been faithful unit

PHIL HARTMAN PRAISES
OROFINO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Sites, Idaho. Aug. 27.-Editor
Clearwater Republican The pic
ture of the Orofino schools in the
last Republican and the reading ac-
companying brought back pleasant
memories to us, since our children,
Julia and Willie. attended the Oro-
fino schools year ago last winter.
Never did they enjoy a winter
going to school as the winter they
put in at Orofno. Nor did they
ever make better progress in their
school work. Willie never evinced
any mechanical desire but he took
up manual art at Orofino that year
and came home in the spring, he
brought US a. piano bench he made
varnished and polished himself un.
der instruction in the school. Thi.
piece OF work would have been .
credit to carpenter.
Both children made good advance
ment, had good time. and fee
very grateful to the people Of Orc
fino for the way they treated them
They will always remember then
for the many favors shown.

POOR ROADS DRIVING TRADE
FROM OROFfNO TO GREER.

E. A. Wilmot of FRASER. has the
honor of delivering the first load OF
bulk grain to the new elevator at
Orofino. With one team he hauled
some 63 bushels worth about $125.
He was very much chagrined at the
condition of the road from the
mouth of Fords creek to Orofinp.
and yesterday said he was almost
persuaded to deliver the balance OF
his crop to Greer, altho the market
at Orofino is two cents per buahel
above the Greer price. He also told
us that practically all Of the trade
from his section, that naturally be-
longed to Orofino. and would come
here. was going to Greer because Of
the poor road into the county seat.
WILMOT PULLS VAUDEVILLE.
e. A. Wilmot, who delivered the
first~ bulk grain to the Orofino ele-
vator. furnished the boys lot OF
amusement at his expense as he was
being unloaded. When the wagon
is driven onto the platform the load
is lowered at the rear and the end
gate opened, letting the wheat go
into the conveyor below. Mr.. VIII
mot is an old hand at this bulk
grain system, and yet he got caught
to his embarrassment for when he
took broom to sweep out his
wagon bed at the front end, he sit.
ting In the seat, the seat tipped
over backwards. landing him In .

DON'T MAKE \ RESOLUTION
UNTIL YOU'RE READY TO
KEEP 1T

Think it over, Mr.. Man. Is il not
fact that you are weaker in char
acter every year, due 10 the good
resolutions made and then broken 4?
Every time you promise yourself
that you viii or will not do certain
things and fail TO make good you
have lost a very important oppor-
tunity TO cultivate self-control, and
after a time you will become too
weak TO make even the resolution.
Take an inventory Of yourself be-
fore il is too late
viii you deliberately lessen your
power Of self-mastery, or will you
brace up and stand up for the things
which you know are best for you.
and against the things which are
harmful TO you?
Do you realize that a weak-kneed
policy on your part is having a
detrimental effect on your children?
Not only will this attitude and
practice OF yours result in 7abby
mental fabric for all concerned. but
II will cause the boys and girls to
have less respect for you.
Keep your resolution at whatever
cost to yourself

DON'T THINK OF LOSING.

Don't get into the habit Of US
ing your thinking moments in pic
turing a disastrous future.
OF course you must give some
thought 10 the future. otherwise
YOU would not make provision for
it; but this does not mean that you
should feel that there is nothing
better ahead Of you, than the char
ity Of relatives. or the almshouse.
If you allow such thoughts 70
overcome you, are making IL i'm
possible 10 avoid. in future. the
very things you so much dread.
When you think Of the future do
you experience a sort Of mental and
physical chill, or do you belome
fred with the confident determin-
alton 10 make your remaining &C
tive years provide for the inactive
one OF later life?
Shake yourself free OF the fear
that you are not going - make
good, because this feeling IS the
greatest handicap under which you
can work.
Forge ahead and your past expe-
rience should make your future a
real success.
