REPUBLICAN UNDER
NEW MANAGEMENT
PASSED TO CONTROL OF R. A.
HAMILTON AND LAUREN L.
JOHNSON ON FEBRUARY 1

The ownership of the Clearwater
Republican changed on February 1,
passing from the control of w. H.
Gillespie to that of r. A Hamilton
and Lauren L. Johnson Announce
ment of this fact was not made in
the issue of February owing to
the absence of Mr.. Hamilton, who
at the time was visiting his old
home in Wyoming. Mr.. Gillespie
has published the Republican since
January, 1919, when he purchased
the paper of P. L. Orcutt, and re-
tires from the newspaper business
in Orofino pleased with his expert
ences in its connection and with the
knowledge of having faithfully per-
formed service to the best of his
ability.
We feel that we are qualified to
certain extent by education and
experience to publish the type of
newspape that will best serve the
people of Clearwater county. We
have both served our apprentice
ship as printers and have worked at
the trade.
Mr.. johnson started the career of
printer as devil on the Palouse
Republic. Palouse, Wash, in 1911.
where he was employed for four
years while in high school. He
gained the majority of his later ex-
perience on the Idaho Post, Mos
COW, the Chouteau County Inde-
pendent. Fort Benton, Montana, and
as publisher of a small newspaper
at Highwood. Montana. before tho
war. since which time he was en-
ployed as foreman of the Republi-
can from April. 1919 to the same
month in 1921.
Mr.. Hamilton was a printers dew
II on the Sheridan. Wyoming. Post
from 1903 to 1906 and for the Sher-
idan Enterprise during 1907. From
1908 to 1912 he was employed "a
printer in the University and Davis
4 Ohlinger job shops at Ann Arbor.
Michigan.
1t Is our belief that the primary
object Of a newspaper is to chronicle
the happenings of the community
and from the outside world such
items as are Of interest to our read
ers, with truth and veracity.
II you want good paper 1t Ia
up to you to help; financially BY
having your job work and advertis-
ing done at home and morally by
loyal support. cooperation and sug-
gestion. We know of nothing OF
more benefit to n community as .
publicity agent, rs a booster or as
a means Of obtaining team work and
community spirit, than a newspaper.
+, While We do not expect to set tho
world afire with our literary ef-
forts or eclipse the leading papers
OF the country. We do desire to do
everything newspaper can do for
the best interests Of Clearwater
county and the state and to develop
ourselves along with them.
4 AS newspaper is tho barometer
Of the community as far rs tho
outside world Is concerned. we want
all the news and will appreciate
the efforts of everyone in furnish
ing It
Il II we make mistakes call our at
tention to them. We want to be
classed among the bosters for Clear
water county.

FIREMEN'S 14TH ANNUAL BALL

The most important community
social event of the entire year will
take place February %, the 14th
annual ball of the Orofino Volun-
teer Fire Department. AT meet
ing held February committee
consisting of p. E. West, Frank
..ider and Fred Hammond, was ap-
pointed, who assure us that there
will be an equitable division of old
fashioned and modern dances so
that all ages can enjoy themselves
and that the 14th will be just a
little better than the others which
have already gone by. Supper will
be served Independently as this
method is found more economical.
This Is one occasion when every
one should ante his bit. Although
the Firemen's funds received a SER
ious blow when the Fidelity State
Bank closed they are starting a new
campaign for an electric siren and
the proceeds of this dance will be
well spent for the best interests OF

TO BEGIN TRAVELLING

d. c. Keyes returned Saturday
morning from Greer where he con-
nected up the transformers on the
machiney for crushing gravel IL be
placed on the Greer Hill Highway.
He reports that crushing will begin
at once under contract by Messrs
Bailey, Waters, Sly and Hutchens
All are local men experienced in
this kind of work and no doubt will
push the contract to early compile
ton. At present the heavy snow is
a handicap, but plows are used to
keep the surface clear. Surfacing
will be the final step in the con-
struction Of this important link OF
the Greer-Bungalow road We can
now entertain visions Of being able
with the early completion Of the

large tubs with canvas swings
so designed that patient may be
suspended in the water which flows
through the tub in what is known
as continuous bath, and mas

in white and designed for absolute
cleanliness.
In the pack room an electric

which a patient can be placed lying
horizontally and exposed to the

of sixty electric lamps. The tenn
perature of all the baths and equip
ment in these rooms is regulated by
thermometers, assuring the proper
heat. The water is supplied
by a continuous circulatory coil to
each bath from a 500 gallon. storage
tank in the boiler room. This sya-
tenn maintains even temperature
and ample supply.
The roof of the building is Of re-
enforced concrete sloping to two
drains and will be covered by
Johns Manville composition roofing
consisting of one coat of primer.
one coat of hot pitch imbeded hair

On the roof are found two Swart-
wort-Rotary ball bearing ventilators
which always point away from the
wind and to which are connected
ventilators from the bottom of each
floor. Apparently this plan gives
first class service.
The building is heated by hot
water from a central heating plant
which is just being finished. This
plant was built mostly by the EN-
ployees and patients and Is not a
part Of the hospital contract. Form
erly there were three separate hot
water plants and the north wing OF
the main building was heated with
stoves. The new plant furnishes
heat for all the buildings, includ-

The hospital which the state of
Idaho has had under construction
since early summer at the Northern
Idaho Sanitarium is now almost

and electric elevator in the center
and is so divided to provide for q
mems and women's ward on each.
The most striking feature of the
interior is the lack of wood. The

concrete; the walls of metal lath

sake, let's not pass the buck, but

Shall we permit politicians who
are not abreast Of the times to re-

gress merely because they will vote
for the bonus? Or will we be the
cause of able men voting against
their convictions for a bonus just
BECAUSE they know that the man
elected to take their place will do
it If they don't?
Let me suggest in final a proper
way to dispose of the bonus. Set
it aside as a benefit for old age for

his old age unable to care for him

SHOULD PROTECT HUNS

During the past week the snow
has piled up to the unusual depth
of two to six feet deep over the en-
tire country, which fact coupled
with severe cold, seriously threat
ems the life of every bird and fowl.
While the deep snow lasts everyone
should make little special effort
to see that the Hungarian and China
pheaSants. the grouse and song
birds are provided with feed. The
former are just getting q nice start
along the river and up Fords Creek
and indications are that they will
soon be plentiful enough to allow
shooting them in this county. A
little effort and expense ON our
part will hasten the open season.
Considerable grain to date has been
distributed along the track from
Greer to Lewiston. More is needed.
