Propose Road into Forest
to Prevent Timber Fires
Timber Company Representatives Ask Co.
operation of Highway Commissioners to
Protect Vast Timber Resources.

T. j. Humbird of Spokane, presi-
dent of the Clearwater Timber Pro
tective Association; w. D. Humis-
ton of Potlatch, secretary of the
North Idaho Forestry association;
G. A. Rubedew of Spokane. secre-
tary-treasurer of the Holland
company; J. c. H. Reynolds of Spo-
kane, secretary-treasurer of the
Timber Products Manufacturers;
w. H. Hughes of Lewiston, State
highway engineer; Ben Bush OF
Moscow, state land appraiser and
r. A. Hamilton of the local fores:
service offices, in answer to an
invitation issued by Theo. Fohl,
secretary of the Clearwater Timber
Protective Association met with
the commissioners of the Pierce,
Grangemont and North Fork High
hall Tuesday evening. the express
purpose of the meeting being to Sc
cure cooperation among the high
way districts to build road into
the heart of the timber belt as a
means to prevent losses by fire.
The proposed road would be
about 26 miles in length, beginning
at Headquarters, running north to
the North Fork of the Clearwater
river in the vicinity of the John
Larson ranch. There would be
AIS miles of the proposed road in
the Pierce district; 81 miles in the
Grangemont district; and 11.75
miles in the North Fork district
each district being asked to build
that portion of the road lying with.
in it's jurisdiction. The grade
would be eight per cent or less and
the cost of construction Is estimated
at $4,000 per mile or less. The roat
would penetrate the finest ant
largest body of timber in thu
county.
The express object IN building
the road is to afford better facili
ties to protect the timber resources
of the county against fire. II
speaking in favor of the proposed
road T. J. Humbird pointed ou
the fact that the public would los
80 per cent of the value of TIL
timber If it burned. This los
would be represented In wages t
labor; in the purchase of farm
products necessary to supply thos
engaged in the timber industry; i

Stop Litigation in
Orofino Highway
GROUNDS OF APPEAL CASE ARE
REMOVED BY NEW PETITION
FILED ON WEDNESDAY

The signatures of 453 voters
within the Orofino Highway district
have been secured by parties inter-
ested, to a petition which will vir-
tually stop the present litigation
now pending in regard to the DIS
solution of said district. The pc
equal to 80 per cent of the total
votes cast within said district at
the last election for governor.
Copies of the petition were filed
Wednesday with l. R. Grow, secre-
tary of the Orofino Highway, and
Joseph Kaufman, county auditor.
The original petition asking for
the dissolution of the highway con-
tanned IS per cent of the voters
names and was acted upon favor
ably some months ago by the coun-
| ty board of commissioners. The
highway board appealed the case
on the ground that insufficient
| funds were on hand to meet the OBJ
legations of the district at the time
the petition was filed, and both
sides for several months have been
awaiting decision by Judge
/ Steele of the District Court. The
decision has not come, and now
that the taxes are in, there are
sufficient funds to meet the obli-
cations of the district thereby re-
moving the grounds upon which
the case was fought. According to
the present legal procedure the
board of highway commissioners
must file the petition with the
board of county commissioners within
thirty days for their action. I'm
less further litigation is started the
district will be dissolved and revert
back to the county.

DEATH OF ETHAN A. SMALL

Lewiston, Jan. 21.-Ethan A..
Small, a resident of the Peck sec
ton, died at the White Hospital
Monday night following an opera
tion. Mr.. Small was about As
years of age, being native of
Maine. He came to Idaho about
six years ago and for two years
taught in the Peck schoois and was
later engaged in farming near Peck
Mr. Small was survived by a
wife and two sisters, Mrs. Ernest
Mhite, of Briantyille, Mass; and
Mrs Askel Westgate, of Rock, Mass
The funeral will be conducted from
the Vassar parlors this forenoon a,

taxes; in taxable property in COM
munity development, etc, all of
which sooner or later will accrue
here if the timber is protected.
Mr.. Humbird also spoke of so miles
of proposed railroad into the timber
belt, which had been contemplated
for construction prior to the war,
the timber people promising said
road two hundred million tons of
timber products annually. He
stated the ten billion feet of timber
that would have been tributary to
the road, would require an expendi-
ture of sixty million dollars for sup
plies and one hundred and eighty
million dollars for labor, goodly
ed within the county, and it would
take from fifty to sixty years to re
move the timber from this section.
1t was pointed out by Theo. Fohl
fire warden for the timber interests
and r. A. Hamilton or the forest
service, that the danger of loss by
fire is becoming greater every year
due to scarcity of labor and poor
facilities for reaching fires quickly
The remedy for this was pointed
out to be good roads. 1t was
brought out by Mr.. Fohl that the
! timber companies pay "a per cent
of the taxes in the several highway
| districts as against 16 per cent by
the farming interests.
The commissioners of each high
way district expressed a willingness
to cooperate in the matter OF
building the proposed road. the
Pierce district pledging itself to dc
SO. while the Grangemont district
promised it's share provided they
could carry bond election. The
present finances of the North ForF
district being already appropriated
makes it impossible for them tt
pledge their share until the righ
of way of the Lewis and Clarl
! highway is finally fixed. Should
it not come within their distric
they pledged their help. However
the pledges are understood to b.
only for the extent of the financia
ability of the respective districts
No definite cooperative plan of ac
tion has yet been taken by the sew
eral districts.

PREFERS AMERICAN SYSTEM.
OF Getting Together Instead of Aus
tralian Compulsory Arbitration Plan.

Melbourne, Australia, March L.
Harry w. Braddon. formerly Austria
liam commissioner to the United States.
told Australians in a speech the other
day that he preferred the American
system of getting together to settle
labor difficulties over the Australian
compulsory arbitration plan.
The Americans told me they would
not touch the Australian system with
a IO-foot pole said Mr.. Braddon. J
have come back TO Australia convinced
that they were right. The whole sys-
tenn of compulsory arbitration is based
on wrong principles. The American
motto. get together is the right idea.
would like to see the whole Aus
tralian arbitration court structure
swept away to make room for system
which would allow employers and en-
ploves to get together and enable each
party to come TO . proper understand
ing of the others peculiar difficulties.
Speaking Of American characteristics,
Mr.. Braddon said that when he first
went to America he was little skep-
teal about the idealism of which he
had heard but that closer acquaintance
had removed all his doubts. Far from
being hard and material, the Ameri-
cans are the most ideal-loving nation
in the world. emotional at times to the
point of sentimentality.'

CANADA COMPETITOR
FOR UNITED STATES
DAIRY INDUSTRY
Argentina Is Also a Rival, According to
the Belief of Government Officials
in Washington.

Washington, d. c.. March 2.-Canada
and Argentina may soon prove serious
competitors of the United States in the
dairy industry, government officials be-
lieve. The industry in both countries
is in its infancy, yet Canada Is produe-
ing 20 per cent as much cheese and IL
per cent as much butter as the United
States, while Argentina is producing
IS per cent as much cheese and Z per
cent as much butter. Canada's butter
exports were Al per cent as large as
those of the United States, while her
cheese exports equalled 81 per cent OF
those of the United States.
1t is generally believed, government
officials say, that Argentina and Can
ada are capable of extensive develop
ment of their industries and it is prob
able. therefore, that the United States
NAV experience in the future partlcu-
larly energetic competition. Argentina,
p days distant from New York, they
saw. may not be thought of seriously
at this time as direct competitor in
the domestic market, but indirectly
Argentine butter may supplant Cana
dian butter in the English market, in
which case Canadian butter would find
logical outlet in the United States.
Canada is in better position to-day
in the worlds markets with her butter
and cheese than is the United States,
officials declare. Moreover, canada's
policy with her returned soldiers and
immigrants toward land development
is bringing results which eventually
will mean larger production.
In the United States available lands
are scarce and all lands generally ex
pensive. 1t is reasonable to believe,
government scientists say, that in the
future production will not increase in
proportion to the population, as the
greater part of the really productive
land is now utilized Resumption OF
the Importation of European butter is
again giving real competition to our
products.

REPLIES TO GOV. CLEMENT.
woman's Suffrage Advocate Says His
Position Is Untenable.

Burlington. March 1.-The following

the past week comforting with Mrs. j.

the National Woman's party with re-
gard TO the action by two New Eng

recent action OF declining To call spe-
cial session of the legislature TO act on
the equal suffrage movement.
Following is her statement;
The governors position l. untenable.

nartv cannot afford To accept as final a
