Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1918-09-27

Joe kaufman will carry every
precinct in Clearwater county by a
heavy majority, and the three or
four court house republicans who
ignored the wishes of the republi-
can voters and put the nomination
of the republican county chairman
across, over the protest OF the ma
jority of republicans, will get de-
served rebuke from the people at
the. polls. The Republican made an
effort to have the matter submitted
to the republicans of the county be-
fore taking action, feeling that Il
is not right that two or three sell
fish, ambitious Office seekers behind
closed doors speak for the entire re-
publican party of our county. We
served notice on Jos. Molloy, repub-
lican county chairman, that any
star chamber session of a few re-
publicans would not be binding on
the Republican, and any candidate
nominated would receive no support
from us. We propose to go the lin
it to help defeat Jos.s Molloy. and
his ring.

The Republican editor found 1t
necessary to spend practically the
entire week in the bean field and
did not get to town till late Friday
night, the day for publication, and
we are going to press without very
much in the way of local news. It
is necessary that every man who is
able must help save the crop, and
we are going to ask the indulgence
of our readers until harvest Is over.

NO BLAKE GANG METHODS
FOR REPUBLICAN PARTY

After due consideration the Re-
publican has decided to support Jos.
Kaufman, county auditor. for re-
election. We have come to the con-
clusion that by far the biggest con-
alteration in the matter Of county
auditor is the war work entrusted
to this official, and 1t would be un-
wise at this time to disturb the ex-
listing machinery. Mr.. Kaufman
is only human, and may occasional
ly make a mistake, but SO will any
other man we may select; he is alb
solutely honest. his loyalty is deep
and true, and the county business
is in safe. sound hands with this
man on the job. Mr.. Kaufman is
our choice because he is politically
clean. He has stood against the
rottenness in his own party, and is
today free from any taint Of Blake
gang rule. If he was good enough
for republicans to vote for four
years ago, he is good enough for
loyal Americans to support today.
We certainly see no reason for a
change. We have interviewed people
from various sections Of the county
and republicans generally are for
KaufIman's reelection. In the Tea
kean country Joe Kaufman will to-
day poll practically solid republi-
can majority, and no man in the
county could defeat him. There. be-
ing no demand on the part of the
people for a change, and with the
people trying to adjourn politics as
far as possible till the war is over,
the Republican proposes to work in
harmony with this program. We
are making this statement public
because Mr.. Abrams, nominated on
the republican ticket, has with
drawn. and this paper is serving
advance notice that it will not be
bound by any action of the republi-
can county central committee, in
session today, should candidate be
named on the republican ticket.
Later-Molloy, by use of proxies
nominated himself. Using his posi-
tion as county chairman he has
shown himself utterly unfit to oc.
cupy the place at the head Of the
county organization, and until he
is replaced the Republican will re-
fuse to have anything whatever tc
do with the county organization
We are not going to stand for AM
Blake gang tactics in the republi
can party. and will fight every time
a ring attempts to run. the republi
and on. as county chairman.

COUNTY LAND
IS WORTH MORE MONEY.

- John Gertje, who moved here in
the spring from Lewiston onto the
Davidson farm south of town, which
he purchased, has sold out, owing
to one ankle having broken out
with sore that made it impossi-
BILE for him to do farm work, and
is moving his family back to Lewis
ton. The farm was purchased by
the editor of the Republican, who
has for some time had an ambition
become farmer. We are convinc-
ed that there is no better soil than
that tributary to Orofino, and that
it is now priced far under its real
value. We have this year ourself,
so know what we are talking about,
grown fifteen acres of beans and the
crop is worth more than the land it
grew on. When land will produce
500 per acre it is worth more
than $500 an acre. Get that. We
can name many who have this sea-
son grown crops tributary to Oro-
fino that will this year more than
buy the land the single crop grew
on.
At the Ben Dixon farm near Gill
bert 1t is estimated this years bean
crop will run $3.50 per acre. The
best land in that neighborhood can
be purchased for less than 800 per
acre. What's wrong?
We believe it was Charley Long
of Fraser. who not long ago said
Clearwater county land is today, as
compared with farm land in nearby
states, far undervalued. Clearwater
county is still little known. It :.as
SO far been little advertised, and on
first sight our canyon roads are too
much for the average tenderfoot.
Too many of our own people do
not yet appreciate the worth OF the
farm lands here at home, and make
light OF those who can see $500 az,
acre for our bean land, ard as
much ,tr corn land. They think
one crazy who predicts 5000 an
acre for the rich bench lands with
IN a trading radius of Orofino.
| But we know, after several years
/ experience in the real estate busi-
ness that land is worth Just what
it will pay interest on, and that an
acre that will produce $50 a yea.
net is worth $500. and will se,l fo.
that. If money is cheap and inter
est low. say per cent, thea lard
producing $50 per annum net is
worth $1,000 an acre.
We can produce ten tons an acre
of corn for ensilage. BY better
farming we can double that. By
irrigation we can increase 1t to sc
tons per acre. Put into silo ter
ton tract of Bottom corn makes 900
tons of stock feed. and the value
of such land would be fabulous.
| We must utilize more manure
rive must enrich our soil, and grow
more from less acreage. And we
must wake up and appreciate ths
worth Of an acre of Clearwater
county bean and corn land. For W.
live in wonderful country.

Seymour Jones Making Strong
Fight For The Speakership

Seymour Jones, one of the recently
elected representatives from Marion
county to the state legislature, is max
ing a strong race for the speakership,
according to those who are well in
formed on the political situation. 1e-
sides having the unanimous support of
the Marion county representatives, he
has developed strong support through
out the Willamette valley and his can
didacy has been favorably received by
the Eastern Oregon representative
1t is understood several candiaa.us
for the speakership have announced
themselves from Multnomah county but
on account of the fractional fight in
Portland, none has been able to show
decided strength in his W community.
Mr.. Jones served his first term as
representative in the 1917 legislature
and was regarded as one of the best
posted men on parliamentary rules. The
house will have go members and the ma.
jority elects.

GOVERNOR POINTS OUT

More Money Should War
End Tomorrow.

Even though the actual fighting II
the world war may soon be over there
is still great need for funds for the
welfare organizations which are doing
valiant service for the soldiers in serv
ice, points cut Governor Witifyeombe in
an appeal made to the people of Oregon
to respond patriotically during the
United war work campaign, which will
be put on next week. The governor
says:

of patriotic Oregon to respond during

that has characterized Oregon In all

the help of the seven welfare organiza-
tons which have the Endorsement Of

LANSING PROTEST
MALICIOUS HUN ACTS
Solemn Assurances Of Ger.
man Government Not Civ
en- Good Faith.

Washington, Nov. 7-That Germany
was wantonly cruel and destructive to
the last was the claim of the state de-
partment in an emphatic protest made
today against acts ordered recently in
Belgium,
In, a note sent to Germany through
the Swiss minister, Secretary Lansing
today wrote:

You will bring the following to the
attention of the German government:
I'm its note of ostuher 20, the Ger,
man government announced that the
German troops were under the strict
est instructions to spare private prop
erty and to exercise care fer the popu-
lation to the best Of their ability.
Conformation has now reached the
government of the United States to
the effect that the German authorities
in Belgium have given notice to the
coal mining companies that all men
and animals shonld be brought out of
the pits; that all raw materials in
possession Of the companies should be

mines will be destroyed at once.
"Acts so wanton and malicious, the
destruction of a vital necessity to the
civil population of Belgium and the
consequent suffering and loss of hu-
man life which will follow, cannot fail
to impress the government and people
of the United States as wslfully cruel
and inhuman. If these acts in fragrant
violation Of the declaration Of October
20, are perpetrated, it will confirm the
belief that the solemn of
the German government are not given
in good faith. In the circumstances the
government Of the Unite States to
which the declaration of October 20
was made, enters an emphatic protest
of the measures contemplated by the
German authorities for whose conduct
the government Of Germany is wholly
responsible.

Make MANY
IMPORTANT AIR RAIDS
Long Distance Flying Possible
Only Twenty Days During
Month OF October.

London, Nov. S.-(British Admiral
ty wireless)-During October, despite
the prevalence and thick mists thru
out the Rhine valley, the British in.
dependent air force made sixty foul
raids over important German towns, ex.
elusive of numerous raids upon German
airdromes at Frescaty, Hulhazau ano
Jametz.
This achievement is the more strik.
ing in view of the fact that long dis.
lance flying was only possible on 20
days of the month. OF these only sew
en- days could be described as fair
while nine were highly unfavorable for
flying operations. Hundreds of tons Of
bombs were dropped during the raids
During the month there were %
raids upon Metz ablon. The famous
railway triangle is of exceptional i'm
portance to the enemy at present when,
apart from the question of supplies fol-
his fighting lines, very large enemy
forces are in rapid retreat toward the
Rhine. Photographs taken during re.
cent raids show as many as IL or Is
enemy troop and ammunition trains
crowded into the southern arm of the
triangle alone at one time.
Although it is not possible on every
occasion to secure direct hits upon wa
gons containing ammunition and 9th
er highly explosive substances the per
manent way and intricate network of
crossings is extensively damaged al
most daily by the British bombing
squadrons, neeessitating the constant
enjoyment of large repair gangs and
causing grave delay to the enemy's
military transport. For similar reasons
the important enemy junction at Thion-
vile has been repeatedly attacked dur
ing the month.
