The passage between Mr.. Daniels and Mr.

the administration does not abide the course
of the great commoner with such utter disdain
as it outwardly affects. Disagreements in the
democratic household are no novelty, and Mr.
Bryan has never acted so as to leave question
as to his regularity" but these facts do not
console anybody near the White House at

FIRES DO LITTLE DAMAGE

According to the report of R. A..
Hamilton, supervisor, total of 50
fires thus far this season have oc-
Cured in the Clearwater National
Forest. All of these fires have been
set by electrical storms which have
been occurring every afternoon
Fifty-five of them have been set
within the last 10 days in this man
ner. All of the fires cover an area
of but 1862 acres, the largest one
having been carried by the wind IL
spots over an extent of 152 acre.
Practically all of the fires have btol
put out, and those not out are un-
der control, with very little damage
resulting.
Mr.. Hamilton reports rumerou
snow drifts still remain in the higher
elevations and that the weather has
been dry, windy and hot in the
mountainous regions of the reserve
The service has an excellent organi
cation of local men in its emplov
and outside fighters have not beer
used or needed as yet The service
has $50 men in its employ at the
present half of whom are building
new trails and telephone lines. whilc
the others are employed as lookout
and smokechasers. A number of
the recent fires indicate that the
woods are getting very dry and the
danger is increasing rapidly.

NOnpartisan League Losing
Out in North Dakota

The results Of the North Dakota
primaries are moral defeat for
Townleyism. The nonpartizan league
candidates Were defeated in two of
the three congressional districts;
the leagues candidate for the
United States senate moses out. by
only 5000 maj rity and its candi-
date for governor by only 5000.
To get a true realization OF the
significance of this slump in the
Townley organization one has to re-
member that the league is in CON
troll Of every branch of the state
government; that the state has in
stituted socialistic methods and the
league has built up a powerful po-
litical machine. with an army of
workers on the public payroll
The foundation of this Townley
machine is the industrial commits

general and the commissioner of ag-

dustries now or hereafter estab-

The governor has arbitrary veto
power over any action of this au
tocratic triumvirate. And the gov
nrnor is the creature of Townley
Thus all the property, all the wealth
and all the business interests in The
state are more or less at the mercy
Of Townley and his merciless organ

They have established for in.

banks and bankers, and through
them over the business and indus
trial interests and the farmers.
In an informative address by
Rome G.. Brown, president and ex-
ecutive manager of the MINNEAPOLIS
Tribune, before the bar association
at Boston it is made clear that this
department of business by the state
can go into any community which
refuses to vote the Townley ticket
and establish a competitive store or
stores and take over the private
business of the community"
This powerful political machine
runs the state mills and elevators,
the state home builders association
and the state printing commission
which, Mr.. Brown declares, "is
nothing short of an organized press
bureau, subsidized by state funds
for propogating Townleyism through
out the state. 1t has established a

The village we'll, located near the

not furnished an adequate supply of

is three times the capacity of the
old pump. It's quality is guaranteed
by the fact that this is the leading
pump manufacturing concern in
America. The motor is General
Electric, purchased through d. C.

25-horse power capacity. 1t il
matter of common knowledge that
the General Electric people are also
specialists in their line, and the
motor purchased of them by the
council is the best thav money can

sentative also offered motor, but
he admitted. after the sale had
been made by Mr.. Keyes, that he
would have done just what the
council did in purchasing the pump
ing plant.
Another item of interest dis
posed of by the council was the ap-
pointment of village marshall

time ago by the removal of E. B.

three applications, one of which was
supported by petition signed by

WOULD BUILD LEWIS-CLARK

An enthusiastic road meeting was
held in the Orofino Club rooms Mon
day evening which was attended by
some 25 business men of town. the
purpose being to discuss the con-
struction Of portion of Clearwater
county's share of the Lewis and
Clark highway. 1t was learned at
the meeting there Is $4,000 OF
county. state and federal money
available for this purpose and the
question arose as to where to spend
it. 1t was contended by some that
the money ought to be used to con-
meet Orofino with the Greer-Bunga-
low project by commencing con-
struction at the Greer end and max
ing passable a road through por
ton of Lewis county to connect with
the present road on the west side
of the river. In this connection II
was shown that the county COM
missioners have refused to spend
money In Lewis county until Clear
water county's portion Of the road
has been built. This would make
the first mile or SO OF the road. ly-
ing In Lewis county, impossible of
construction for want of funds. as
Lewis county will not put up the
money at the present at least This
part of the construction would be
solid rock.
Others contended the road should
start at the Clearwater briddge at
Orofino and extend up the river as
far as the money would take 1t. to
be connected up with the Greer
Bungalow project the following
year. This proposition seems the
most reasonable. practical and feas-
ible, as the county must put up the
$4,000 in order to get the use Of
the federal and state money, and
the commissioners say 1t must be
spent in the county. The money
would probably build about miles
Of the road or more on the flat on
he west side Of the river, where
construction is easy. which accord
ing to federal specifications must be
20 feet feet wide, and would give
he county road that could be
used the year around. The prevail
ing sense of the men present was to
use the money so as to make the
best possible showing the first yeai
using that as an argument for Sc
curing more money. After prolonged
discussion pro and con, 1t wa
agreed by all present that the con
struction should start at the Orc

NO TEACHERS FOR EXAMS

The first semi annual eXamina-
tion for teachers was held in Oro-
fino the latter part of this week un-
der the direction of Miss E. Cecil
Parker. county superintendent. Not
a single teacher appeared to take the
examination. Miss Parker says that
this indicates that the teachers are
all either graduates Of the normal
or of some college. since those who
have not completed course In one
of these higher institutions Of
learning are Obliged to take an an
nual examination According to
Miss Parker, the educatioal qualifi-

per cent being graduates. This
speaks well for the schools of this

The evening wrap is Il thing apart It bears some style relation to the daytime coat, but it has a much broad CT license in the matters of material, color and line. Rich satin, sumptuous velvet and magnificent brocades are the mediums of expression. And it is in the evening cloaks that one finds the subtle drapery hard to describe and even more difficult to initiate. The fact that the ensemble is one of strik- ing simplicity will tempt the inexpe- rienced to essay the making of sim liar wrap.
