NEW DUTCH AMBASSADOR
 IN AMERICA

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Tch. 20. -. Augustus Phillips, the new minister from Holland has arrived and grantc1 an interview to the Associated Press. He declared that his most important aim will be to bring about an under standing under which his country may obtain more food Stuifs from the Unit cd States
 Lack of supplies is closing many industries also," said F'Iii'ps. "We need materials from America, and ! hope to be able to arrange so that more shipping to us may be permitted.
 Food is badly needed in the Moth erlandS," he said "The people suffer severely already because they cannot obtain some articles at all and because they have not the money to pay for some which are very high. Many prices have doubled since the war broke out.
 We have to feed also over q thou sand interned French and Belgian re- fugees, too, and there is no great plenty of even supplies which we can produce for ourselves.

The above resolution was passed by a vote of 41 to l5 at the mass meeting last night held in the fire hall. And at that the writer firmly believes that the majority of the Al understood that they were voting on the question of the absolute resembling of the terri torial eight hour law. After the meet ing was over, in the Key, in the Branch, at the Northern and on the streets the question was asked gen crally by those not in attendance at the meeting: "Did they knock out the eight hour law"'
 During the vote at the meeting one man was asked: What are you vot- ing for?" and quickly came the re- ply: "Voting whether l shall work eight hours or more"
 The eight hour law, it's constitu- tionality or any other discussion anent it's total abolshment, was rot the pur- pose of the meeting.
 The meeting was called to order by Attorney Ray. Rev. J. J. Patton was elected permanent chairman and Wayne Blue secretary, both by ac- camation. Attorney Ray read resolu- tions passed by the Alaska Labor Union and the Pioneers of Anchorage protesting strongly against further exemptions of the eight hour law dGr- ing the period of the wal or any other time. Attorney Ray presented the above resolution. Harry Hohcn, Judge MOrford, Attorney Green and others spoke against the meeting passing any resolution whatever IS the Gov ermor of the Territory and the Na- tional Council of the Defense was having evidence submitted aad hear ingS were now in progress regarding further abrogation. The speakers dc sired that the matter be left in the hands of the Governor as he would arrive at q just decision regarding further exemptions, knowing full we'll the needs of labor for war duty.
 But the majority, as the alternate showed, believed they were voting on the absolute rescindnent of the eight hSur law, and the reSolutr"n was "r- lied. Following the passing of the rcso!U,lon and a resolution that 1t be telegraphed to Gov. Strong, :he mass meeting adjourned.

Below we print a circular issued
by the National Council of Defense
ON the subject of the organization
of Community Councils. In accor-
dance with the request of the Ma
tional Council, the Clearwater Coun-
Gil of Defense has requested That
such community councils be organ
lied in each school district n the
county. The School trustees will
constitute an organization commit
tee in each district and public
ne citing will be called at some date
not later than April 10th in each
district for the purpose OF selecting
the members of the community
council. These councils will be aux
il'ary to the county council and
will work IN conjunction with 1t in
all of the various war activities.
Read the plan outlined in the
Government circular printed here
with in full and familiarize your
self with its details. Attend the or
ganization meeting prepared to take
an active part in the work of organ
izing a strong council in your dis
trict. Watch for notices which will,
be posted in conspicuous places in
your district giving the date and
place Of meeting. The Community
CCouncil will point the way for each
patriotic citizen. far from the scene
of battle, to do his bit for the war

NEED OF COMMUNITY COUNCILS.

The first nine months of the war
have shown the vital Importance of
developing an official nationwide
organization reaching into the small
est communities to mobilize and
make available the efforts of the
whole people for the prosecution of
the war. In recruiting for the Army
and in enlisting laborers for war in
dustries, in increasing the food sup
ply and decreasing the waste of
food, in soliciting subscriptions to
the Liberty Loan and in much other
work, the end must be accomplished
by the people at large. The crea-
tion of County Auxiliaries has
brought the State Councils and
State Woman's Divisions closer to
the people and the valuable service
which County Auxiliaries have rem
dered indicates the Importance Of
even closer contact, through subsid-
larry agencies in such small units
that personal contact with all the
citizens is possible.
In many counties Community
Councils are already in existence
Unless such subsidiary organization
has already been effected in your
county, we recommend the creation
of Community Council in each
school district.
The advantages of the school dis
trict as unit of community organ
ization are clear:
/. The school district is small
enough to permit individual contact,
and is nonpolitical.
2. The schoolhouse supplies a
meeting place in each district, and
in many schools includes domestic
science, manual training, and other
facilities.
8. The school district reaches
children and parents alike, and in
the cities the school is to a large
extent already in touch with the
alien population.
4. The school is an established
center of information and education
S. The school principal or faculty
provides tried agency through
whose assistance community organ
ization can be quickly effected
6. The school district, with the
schoolhouse as its center, is already
a social community. especially in
farm districts.
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1918-03-29

The organization of Community
Council must, of course, vary in diff
ferent localities. With your know
ledge of local conditions, you will
know best how to adapt the follow
ing program to your needs:
PRELIMINARY ACTION.
l. The existing war organizations
and societies of your county should
be carefully studied and every effort
made to use such Community Coun-
ellis, or similar organizations, as
exist. NOTHING IS MORE UNWISE
THAN TO CREATE NEW MACH
INERY WHERE ADEQUATE MA
CHINERY ALREADY EXISTS.
2. The county council and county
branch of the Woman's Division
should jointly call a county wal
conference of the officials in charge
of county government activities, and
representatives of the prominen,
county organizations and societies
The schools especially should b.
represented at this meeting, and
where Farm Bureau Community
Committees or School Rural Leagues
exist, they also should be represent
ed.
3. At this conference lists should be
drawn up of three or four mon and
women in each school district where
no Community Council exists, ia
act as an Organization Committee
ORGANIZATION MEETING.
1. The Organization Committee
should arrange to invite every man
and woman of the district to an Or
ganization Meeting at the school
house.
2. At this meeting, which should
be attended by a representative of
the County Council and of the
County Woman's Division. a board
of from three to ten directors fnot
less than one-third to be women)
should be chosen. This board should
include representative of the
school faculty.
A chairman and executive secre-
tary should be chosen. This secre-
tary should be chosen on the basis
OF fitness to act as a community or
ganizer and to perform executive
work. The secretary should render
a report at suitable intervals to the
chairman of the Community Coun-
Gil and to the County Council and
County Woman's Division. He
should also be the representative to
receive such patriotic and educa-
tional material, and such directions
in regard thereto. as may be issued
by the Committee on Public Infor-
nation.

In Shoshone County.

This letter written by Mr.. Crock
EFT and the early history Of mining
at Pierce City, and on the tributar-
les OF Orc Elmo creek, are especially
interesting to the people Of Shoshone
county. The rapid influx of popula-
ton due to the discovery of gold in
various parts of the state was soon
followed by the creation Of the ter
ritory of Idaho, and in establishing
the political subdivisions, vast STREET
ches OF unexplored wilderness were
Included within county lines with a
mining camp or other pioneer set
tlement for county seat. In this
manner Shoshone county was created
with Pierce City the seat of govern
r'a"t. What is now the Occur d.
Alene district was an unknown will
derness. A few years after the dis
eovery of gold on Orc Elmo creek the
Mullen road was, built through the
district. but 1t was built purely for
military purposes. although it event
ually led to the discovery of gold on
Prichard creek in 1888, which mar
ked the beginning Of mining in the
Occur d'Alene district. In 1886 the
county seat of Shoshone county was
moved from Pierce City to Murray
but the south end, which included
the famous Orc Elmo gold diggings,
remained part of this county unit,
some ten years ago. when 1t was cut
on to form part of Clearwater
county.
