A LITTLE U. P. HISTORY.

In considering the proposition of
government ownership of the rail
roads it is interesting to refer to
the history of the Union Pacific
railroad, which up to 1897 was
owned by the government. In the
fall of that year the road was sold
at auction and purchased by
E. II. Hartman at a price of S12.5O
per share of stock. Prior to the sale
the earnings of the road had not
taken care of the charges against it,
and when sold 1t was indebted to
the government in the sum of over
$52.000.000. Immediately upon pri-
vate interests securing the control,
extensive improvements were made
in road bed and rolling stock, and
from that date. prosperity began.

the volume of business grew until
in 1917 the net earnings amounted
to s42.00o.OO3 Not only did
the road itself prosper. but the
growth of the country west of the

from the REIMBURSEMENT by the gov

THE OROFINO CLUB.

THE PIED PIPER"

In view of the ,rumor that Presi-
dent Wilson may call off the Mar
mora conference altogether because
Lenine and Trotsky did not accede
instantly to his demands, we shall
add nothing now to the sketch al
ready printed of the delegate of his
choice. the ex-Rev. George D. Her
ron; speaking likeness of the
gentleman which appears herewith
must suffice for this week.
Mr.. Heron's husky colleague from
Kansas. William Allen White. how
ever. seems to merit passing atten-
ton. Unable as we were to imagine
how that sturdy American could
have been inveigled into that par
ticular gallery. we turned for en-
lightment to his notes from Paris as
published in the World. but we
have to confess that we are more
puzzled than before.
That Mr.. White should depict Mr..
Wilson as "a shibboleth, a myth,
whom the socialists OF Europe have
accepted, expecting him to clothe
the naked. to feed the hungry and
to house the homeless with his
league of nations" is not surprising.
perhaps, but to stamp him as
leader of the European reds" GER
tainly seems bit brusque Ills
picture" Mr.. White continues, is
in millions of homes. He is looked
upon as sort of savior of the poor
and oppressed. The masses in the
allied countries conjure with his
name. In Slavic countries armies
are standing up and shooting each
sides acclaiming the
magic name of Wilson as their JUS
tification. The poor feel that if
they get the league of nations, all
else will, be added upto them. 1t is
tragic tragic because of the pit
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1919-03-14

| iful part of the Wilson worship,
which can only raise false hopes
and make for bitter disappoint-
ments.
Mr.. White even goes so far as to
refer to Mr.. Wilson as 1.-The Pied
Piper of Hamlen Town" and sug-
gests bluntly that, in certain CON
tingencies, arrangements be made
to pull the coattails of the affabe
elderly gentleman with the AMIGA
bic grin who is touring Europe de
luxe, annoying the constituted
governments of Europe with the
genial patter of revolution"
AS for himself. he never support
cd Mr.. Wilson" and sincerely hopes
that he may never have to support
the party for which Mr.. Wilson
stands"
Now we submit that all this was
enough to bewilder anybody Unless
Mr. Wilson's nature, never notably
forgiving, had undergone complete
transformation there was simply no
accounting for the appointment of
William Allen White as a special
delegate and colleague of even the
striking Heron. And when we no.
ticed the dates and discovered that
Mr.. Whites principal articles were
sent by mail and could not have
been brought to the presidents at
tention, the mystery was solved.
Now let us hope that the Mar
mora conference will really be called
off. In that event, another place
may have to be provided for Mr.
Heron, but William Allen White
will be able to get back into indie
pendent journalism where he be-
longs. Review

THIRD ANNUAL DAYS
OF 40 EXHIBITION.

Thursday. Friday and Saturday
March 27, % and 20, are the dates
announced for the third annual ex-
hibition. which will be staged in
Dreamland hall and adjoining rooms
by the cowboy band.
The Days of 40 is now regarded
as Idaho county's annual spring
carnival of joy. The exhibition has
successfully weathered through two
years of infancy and is now full
bloomed into festival of fun that
is clean, wholesome and IA gala
week in which all may join whole
heartedly and with mutual pleasure.
So many novelties and features
have been presented for the pro
gram this year that a 3-night SEES
sion is necessary to properly present
the whole card of entertainment.
The first night will be given over
largely to the "old folk" and the
program of dances from 1920 un-
til midnight will! be the nature OF
an Oiuen times dance. during which
the grownups may enjoy feast of
quadrilles. polkas and other forms
of terpsichorean pursuits which
were in vogue all over the country
until few years ago. An old ia
shioned fiddle contest is billed as
one of the attractions OF the fist
night.
On Friday night a travelling mus
ical organization. featuring vocal
numbers and jazz orchestra selec-
tions. will give short concert pro-
gram after which dancing will be
enjoyed in the main hall until mid
night and perhaps later On Sat
urday evening the Cowboy band and
the Cowboy orchestra will provide
music, and comedy stunts will also
be staged by local talent.
The familiar gambling den and
thirst parlor of old days and count
less other features. typical of the
DAYS when the west was young will
be in vogue as last year. Dig out
your cowboy and cowgirl outfit and
be ready.-Free Press, Grangeville. /,

Bonus to Soldiers.

Section 1406 of the Revenue Act
! approved February "a 1919 author
ICES the payment of bonus of $50
to officers, soldiers. field clerks and
nurses of the Army upon honorable
separation from active service by
discharge, resignation or otherwise
This bonus is not payable to the
heirs or representatives of any de-
ceased soldier.
Those who are discharged here
after will receive this bonus on the
same roll voucher upon which they
are paid their final pay.
Those who have been discharged
and have received their final pay
without the $4,000 bonus, should
write letter to the Zone Finance
Officer, Lemon Building, Washing
ton, d. c., stating their service
since April 6, 1917. the date of last
discharge and their present address
to which they desire their bonus
checks to be sent and enclosing
with this letter their discharge GER
tificat or military order for dis
charge and both. if both were issued.
Upon the receipt by the Zone FL
nance Officer, Washington, d. c..
of this information and the soldiers
discharge certificate, this officer will
cause checks to be drawn and
mailed to the claimants in the order
in which their claims were received
by him. The discharge certificate
will be returned to the soldier with
the check.
1t is estimated that at least one
million and quarter persons have
been discharged from the service
who are entitled to the benefits of
this Act and while payments will
be made as expeditiously as practi-
cable, it viii manifestly take consid.
cradle time to write and mail this
many checks.

Getting Down to Business.

If there's any one thing that marks
the big man 1t is his ability to get
down to business. While the average
fellow sits drumming at his desk the
man of skill starts things. There may
be thousand things to do, but they
Will be done sooner if they are done
one at Il time. It's fine thing to be
able ut glance to spot the essential
and 90 at it. The next best thing is to
get busy at the job that seems to be
most urgent and put that on the shelf
finished product You are then ready
for the next thing. But it's lust the
lack of this ability that puts the
sprays in most mems progress. They
are confused by the many things to
be done. Instead of getting busy MT
once they waste time in wondering
where to begin. It's no wonder they
fail to accomplish things.

$8,OOO,OOO Endowment

New York University needs an addi-
tional endowment fund of $8,000,000
and will start movement to obtain it
in January, Chancellor Elmer Z. Brown
announced yesterday. The additional
income will be used to increase faculty
salaries, provide for new buildings, and
relieve strain in various other direc-
tions due to inadequate endowment.
"The needs of New York University
are the needs of New York City," said
Chancellor Brown. "One-fourth of the
young men and women here who seek
higher education in the city's institu-
tions now find it at New York Uni
versity.
1--WE have carried on our work with
the smallest endowment Of any uni
versity of equal size in the country.
