Will Beans Be Injured?

E. w. Miller, one of our prominent
ranchers from the Gilbert section gave
US pleasant call Tuesday. Mr.. Miller
states that the rainy spell on at pres
ent is causing some uneasiness to the
farmers in his section who are engaged
in bean culture. The danger to the
bean crop from a protracted spell of
moist weather lies in the failure of the
stock TO ripen before frost, rainy
weather causing it to grow continuously
until the frost nips it in an immature
condition, this producing a soft bean
unfit for market. Mr.. Miller is a close
student OF practical methods of farm
ing and gets the maximum of profits
from his knowledge acquired along
these lines. He is also firm friend OF
the Idaho soil and the Gilbert section
in particular.

Village Fathers in Session.
Pass Revenue Ordinance for Fiscal Year
Fixing Levy-Accepts Resignation
OF Wheelock and Elects Noble.

The Village Board met Monday night
in adjourned session, with all members
present.
After the usual routine work had
been disposed of petition was pre-
sented by Miles Cochran, representing
property owners on the hill in the east
ern part of town, asking that hydrant
be placed at the junction of Main and
9Th streets.
1t appears that some two blocks of
residence property in that vicinity is
without fire protection and the petition
presented by Mr.. Cochran set forth
fully this fact.
After due consideration, all agreeing
as to the merits and justice of the petit
ton it was agreed to table the same un-
til such time as the extensions to the
water system proposed, could be inaug-
urated
The resignation of Trustee Wheelock
was presented and read, and accepted,
after an explanation by Mr.. Wheelock
to the effect that he intended to leave
the Village for the time being at least.
A discussion then arose as to sue
cessor to Mr.. Wheelock, with the re-
suit that the name of Horace Noble was
presented and agreed to unanimously
by the board.
The annual appropriation bill was
then taken up and an ordinance cover
ing the same read for the first time
and under the suspension of rules
passed to its third reading, and ordered
published.
The matter Of establishing a public
drinking fountain and watering trough
was then taken up and after thorough
discussion it was decided to install the

selected by the water committee. In
the discussion the point most favored
for the drinking fountain was at the in

A general discussion was then en-

One Dollar For Each Kernel
of Corn.

The Lewiston-Clarkston Fair Associ-
alton this year is offering a premium of
5000 cash for the most corn, any vari-
ETY. raised from % kernels. The stocks
must be exhibited at the fair, which
opens October 7th for the week, and
must have sufficient roots to show the
product is from one kernel and with
the corn attached. 1t will be seen that
this offer is on the basis of $l.OO
for each kernel and no one is barred.
1t is not expected that certain kernels
should be planted but the selections
may be made from the matured fields.
II is said Orofino and the Lapwai sec
tons are each expecting this prize as
the former captured the prize last fall
at the Spokane show by exhibiting
corn l6 feet high, nine feet to the ears.
1t is expected this one feature alone
will produce one of the most remarka-
bic exhibits ever seen in the Northwest

Enemy Made Clat .ta-wa

Orofino's patriotic Boy Scout organ
zation, took a "hike" last Saturday
evening and returned to their homes
in time for breakfast Monday morning.
Some time during the night an imagin-
ary enemy attacked their camp but the
spirit of our forefathers arose in the
hearts OF our young Americans and
they shouldered muskets and took
out after the villianous foe. 1t is need
less to say that the malefactruous gang
"beat it," We understand that two
swimming contests were features of
the maneuvers. Next Saturday night
the boys will take another "hike" up
Wells Bench and the camp will re-
main open to the public for inspection
all day SUNDAY.

The Republican Circulates Widely

John Welch and John Welch Jr. who
have spent the past sixty days in the
vicinity of the Black Lead mining camp
were arrivals in Orofino Sunday. Mr..
Welch states that in his stay in that
locality much bad weather was encount-
cred. Lafe Williams Of Lewiston who
owns some valuable mining property
there kept record of the weather and
reported but 13 fine clear days from
July to August Is. Rain, hail and
snow filled in the storm program for
the period. On one occasion, hail
stones fell, which were three quarters
OF an inch thick and several inches
in circumference. 1t showed in July
and again on August 18th. On this
latter date. Mr.. Welch Jr. was return
ing from Lo Lo hot springs, Montana
with provisions when the storm over
took him and he was forced to walk
to keep from freezing and upon his
arrival at camp he was so cold and ex-
austed that he could not unpack his
horses. While at Black Lead he saw
Gus CRUDE, Will Harris, Bert Kaufman
and Dock Noftsger and at Lo Lo he
met Nell Small, VIII Walch and Bill
Neitscher all the boys were well and
had spent fine summer in the noun
tains. Mr.. Welch states that the only
news received by him on his trip came
from the Republican, which he picked
up on the trail, more than eighty miles
from Orofino.
