The new measure has general ap-
proyal of republicans and democrats
alike, it being recognized, they de-

ing that the present primary is ur-
wieldy and totally unsatisfac tory
and that the public demands a

and has its own organization, and

dates 10 per cent of the entire vot,
cast for all the candidates for tha
particular office. An affiliation o
voters to the number of five pc

BIG TIMBER MEN VISIT
OROFINO FOR SEVERAL DAYS

Messrs. John ?. Weyerhouser and
son. Frederick Weyerhouser. and
Engineer f. ]. Brigham. all con-
nected with the Clearwater Timber
Company, reached Orofino on Mon
days afternoon train and departed
for Lewiston Wednesday morning.
Engineer J. w. Mutch and his sur
veying crew also left for Lewiston
Wednesday morning to complete the
survey of saw mill site at that
point. Engineer Mutch has run out
several lines through Orohno. One
runs around the base OF the hill
back of the Orofino Trading Com
pany building. another line through
johnson avenue between the old
White Pine Trading Company's
building and Orofino Meat and Cold
Storage Company's butcher shop. A
third line was surveyed around the
hill north of town and back of the
central Office of the Samson Snyder
Telephone Company. The latter sur
vey connects with the Northern Pa
citic main line north of the depot.
While in Orofino, Mr. Weyerhouser
arranged for headquarters in the
Burns and Brown building, renting
the room formerly occupied by the
county auditor This room will be
used by the engineering department
for draughting purposes. 1t Is well
lighted. and has a commodious vault
for the safe-keeping of plans, etc.
The surveying crew. under ]. W..
Mutch, will later return to Head
quarters, on Reeds creek, and COM
mence the survey of line from
Headquarters to a point on Alder
creek, thence up Alder creek to the
head Of Beaver creek and thence
down Beaver creek towards the
North Fork.
The headwaters Of Alder and
Beaver creeks parallel each other,
being only short distance apart
and hardly a divide between them.
The Beaver creek basin contains one
of the fnest bodies of white pine
timber in the state of Idaho 1t is
OF ma -ure growth, and will soon
commence to deterioate. 1t is al
most absolutely necessary to convert
this valuable timber into man.
ufactured product. AS the timber
natures there is greater danger
from fires. and last years fire ex-
perience in the Beaver creek basin
is a cause for future alarm. En-
giner Mutch has had four hand
sleds built for transportation servic+
while on the survey from headquar
ters. We look for energetic railroad
and timber development in Clear
water county just as soon as labor
conditions improve and busines;
