COUNTY FAIR PROSPECTS

On the occasion of a visit to Oro-
fino OF Bert Savage of the Lewiston
commercial club a meeting was
held Thursday night to discuss ways
and means of putting on a Clear
water county fair. Mr. Savage ex-
planned a plan whereby this county
by setting date that will line up
with the two fairs which Lewis
county will hold, at Kamiah and
Nezperce, can get attractions which
Will be used by those towns at a
reasonable rate. He also advised
that exhibits of the three towns
could be boxed up and sent to Lew
1ston from which point Spokane. Mt
her own expense, will transport and
use them at the Spokane fair and
return them to Lewiston where
they will again be exhibited. There
Is no doubt that great deal of
useful advertising would be had by
this plan.
Lewis county is levying two and a
half mills for permanent fair i'm
provements. The commissioners OF
this county were asked to appropri-
ate small sum to aid in the Clear
water fair, but took no action at
the meeting. They will take the
matter up at the next meeting, con-
ferring with committee appointed
for the purpose, consisting of ]. F
Michels, Swantek and Walrath. II
the commissioners do not help ii.
nancially it will no doubt be i'm
possible to have the fair.

THE 0ROFIN0 CUBS

For the first time in good
many years Orofino has a Junior
base ball team. The boys have been
organized for some time and have
taken advantage of every dry min
ute for practice and are now play
ing first class base ball After
watching them play it is easy to
see where our team will be recruit
ed from during the next few years
as some of these boys are showing
real class and the old timers will
have TO retire to the bench.
The cubs played Ahsahka juniors
the 9th and Whisky creek the 18th
easily defeating both those teams.
They will play a return game with
Ahsahka the 23rd.
Fred Hammond is manager for
the boys and claims that after he
has taught them little inside"
base ball they will be able to beat
the town team.
The team is composed of the fol-
lowing: Hanson, Bobbitt, Oud, Sisk,
Smith, Hanson, Campbell, Jenson,
Bryant, Portfors and Campbell.

STUDENTS ASS N To-
MONUMENT
STONE CAIRN TO MARK LEWIS
AND CLARK CAMPING PLACE
AT CHINA ISLAND

Under the direction of ]. p. Har-
Ian the members of the Student as
sociaton of the Orofino schools are
to give an entertainment at China
program will be for the purpose Of
marking the place where Lewis and
Clark camped on September "a and
25, 1905.
The chairmen of the three COM
mittees appointed to take charge of
the main part of the work are as
follows: Finance, Robert Oud; Pro-
gram, George Oliver; Arrangement,
Cornelius Griffin. The committee
on arrangement has already put the
camping ground in order and tho
committee on program has arranged
for short entertainment to be
given some time during the day.
The committee on finance has de-
cided to charge 10 cents per person
per plate for lunch which will con-
sist of hot weiners, buns, pickles
and coffee. Everyone must come
provided with tin cup.
The monument to mark the camp
ing place will be stone cairn, the
erecting of which everyone will be
expected to participate in. Also
suitable sign board bearing the date
on which Lewis and Clark camped
there will be put up.
All Nez Perce Indians are invited
guests and have the privilege of en-
jOying both the feed and program
free of charge.
On account of this being so near
the end of the school term it was
thought best to have rather a SIM
pie entertainment for the present
and to have more elaborate one
next September at Canoe camp or
better known as Chases flat and
now in the possession Of the Timber
company, where another monument
will be erected.
Everyone is invited to attend
these affairs and, by placing a
stone in the cairn, to have a per-
sonal interest in the Lewis and
CLARK memorials.

HOW SOCIALISTS TREAT SOCIAL
lists IN RUSSIA

How Socialists treat all dissent
ers, even minority Socialits, is il
lustrated by the conduct of the
present Socialist government of Rus
sia. Although Socialists profess to
be believers in free speech, free
press and the peoples rule, in Rus
sia they have set up an oligarchy
which maintains itself by the free
use of bayonets, hangings and jail
ings. AS compared with the Rus
sia of today, under the sway Of its
Socialist masters, the Russia Of the
Gar was free and happy country.
Those familiar with the habitual
intolerance of Socialism are not
surprised that in the one govern
ment completely dominated by Soc
ialists there is no longer the slight
est vestige of free speech, free press
or government by the masses.
The Democratic party of Sweden,
Socialist organization of which
Premier Branting is the head, has
been moved to protest against the
tyranny of Socialism in Russia be-
cause of the imprisonment of 5000
minority Socialists in Georgia and
Russia. This proest reads in part:
hS WIN hih6 SioSS VI oWCuCu
has received reports regarding the
treatment by the Soviet govern
ment of Russian and Georgian Soc
ialists, which has aroused stupefac-
tion and anger. Over 200 Russian
Socialists of different groups have
been forced to resort to hunger
strike to call the worlds attention
to the sufferings to which they are
exposed and to obtain forcibly an
improvement of their conditions.
Five thousand Georgian Social
Democrats are now in prison on ac-
count of their not having SEplun-
tarily submitted to the foSNe or
Russian occupation. Others are de-
ported by thousands or are forced
to keep in hiding in order to es-
cape the fate of those already ar
rested"
This is the testimony of Social
lists against Socialism In power. For
the Bolshevists are Marxians,-Soe-
ialists. They have furnished to the
world the best argument ever made
against Socialism.

IMPORTANCE OF PROTECTION OF
TIMBER RESOURCES EXPLAINED
Occur d'Alene National Forest paid
$4,000 last year to the counties
in which it Is located.

Occur d'Alene National Forest paid
$4,000 last year to the counties
in which it is located.
Now, l want you to think this
over. What other business do you
know of that pays as much as 35
per cent of its gross receipts to the
county in taxes or in any other
form?
How long will this county get
the receipts from private taxes?
Just as long as 1t takes to cut the
timber and with taxes at their
present level, the private timber
will not last many years.
How long will this county get
receipts from the National Forest?
Forever, because there will be a
permanent timber supply.
We will go a step beyond our
county. What interest have we in
timber lands owned by the State OF
Idaho? The government made
grants of timber lands to States to
pay the expenses of such institu-
tions as the asylums and the State
University. Idaho has 100000 acres
of such lands in this county.
They do not pay any taxes. What
good are they?
The state can sell these lands but
II must put the receipts into a
trust fund. the income from which
Is used to defray the expenses of
these institutions. Burn up that
timber and see II you will not pay
more taxes to support these institu-
tons.
The general timber situation in
the United States will interest you.
We are using timber four times as
fast as our forests grow 1t. Every
plant crop requires certain per-
the use desired. White pine tim
ber requires about 100 years. II
you cut mature white pine four
times as fast as 1t grows you will
be cut out In Is years and do with
out for rs years waiting for a new
crop. But when did the. new crop
get started? Large areas have re-
seeded from seed fallen on the
ground before logging. The forest
Service and State Forestry Services
are the only ones who have done
any planting and funds for that
have always been limited. This is
about what the United States is do
ing. Four-fifths of the timber is
in private ownership and high taxes
are forcing the owners to cut or
lose. Because our population is in
creasing we need more timber than
ever before, but from these facts
you can see we are fast approach
ing timber shortage.
One way to help bridge the gap
between our present timber and the
new forest crop now growing is to
stop burning timber by carelessness
and make the new crop available
as soon as possible by taking care
of young trees from which our fu-
ture lumber must come,
You may have pictured to your
self the timber lands Of this county
as prosperous agricultural lands af-
ter the timber is cut. Where the
land is tit for that purpose there
will be farms in long time. but
we are not going to jump Immediate
ly from timber to cultivated farms.

EXAMINER RECOMMENDS THAT
RAIL RATES BE LOWERED

Washington = "a. P.) - Recon-
mendations were submitted to the
interstate commerce commission to-
day by an examiner, on railroad
proposals for lower rates from some
points, with origin in the east, to
Pacific coast ports than from the
same points of origin over shorter
distances to the intermountain cit
les. including Spokane, Salt Lake
City, Reno The recommendations
were based on requests arising from
the desire of the carriers to meet
water competition from eastern
points to tht Pacific coast.
The examiner also recommended
that the commission grant lower
rates on wood from the Pacific sea-
board to the eastern manufacturing
centers than from inland points to
the same destinations.

FOREST SUPERVISOR HORNBY'S
ADDRESS TO HIGH SCHOOL
ON FOREST PROTECTION

Few persons fail to appreciate
the beauties of a mountainous tim
bered country. You may realize
that you would dislike to see all
the trees in sight from Orofino re-
moved. If people would rather live
here with trees than without, it
certainly means they have an aes-
thetic value. You may not be able
to say exactly what that value is
but you know it exists and thous-
ands of people all over the United
States are demonstrating it in their
recreational. trips to forested reg
ions. At the same time these tour
lists appreciate good fishing and
good hunting and pay considera-
BILE revenue for these privileges. We
are quite likely to forget these val
ues of forests in considering their
numbering possibilities. You know
without my saying 1t that Clearwat-
er County is rich in all these val
ues, but do you know their I'M
portance?
Aesthetic value is difficult to
state in dollars. but 1t is shown by
the desire ofethe people to live here
anu W tIANCi uSto ou taS SSOu
roads we are going to have and
spend their money which makes ad-
ditional business and prosperity.
The revenue from fishing and hunt
ing licenses and fines last year in
Clearwater County was SS,20S.
The revenue to the county from
II numbering possibilities Ia in the
form OF taxes amounting to abou,
$2S5.000 per year.
want to show you what these
taxes from forested lands mean to
this county. They pay about ~
per cent of the total. About n
per cent OF our county and high
way district road funds and II per-
cent of your education Is paid foi
by them. Farm lands. mercantile
establishments and banks together
pay only Is per cent OF the taxes
the remaining per cent is paid by
public utilities part OF whose ex-
tstence Ia derived from forest prod
ucts. So that. roughly, Clearwater
County's income is 80 per cent from
its timber lands in private owner
ship.
There is another income to this
county from its loIeSt iooou.Soo
That Is from the National Forest
area within the county or the to-
tai receipts from timber sales, graz
ing fees. special uses. ETC., 35 pei
cent is returned to the county In
which they originated. 1t makes nc
difference how much 1t costs to run
the Forest Service business. the
county receives the 35 per cent OF
all the receipts collected. This
amounts to only a few hundred dol.
lars per year at present because the
demand SO far for the timber and
the grazing on the Clearwater Ma
tional Forest has not been great
but when numbering does begin or
large scale. the annual return Il
this county is likely to increase Il
$4,000 or moro per year. Th'
