The Tribune says Mr.. Blake
has the permission Of The War
department to build a bridge over
the Clearwater at OrofinO, and
that he will assign all Of his rights
under such permit, to the county
for the consideration Of $1.OO.
For goodness sake! Why doesn't
somebody dig up the dollar and
let it be put on record in the Of
flee Of the county auditor? 1t
would then be the property Of
the county and subject to inspec-
ton by any interested. Last
week we asked at the au 1itor's
office and learned that it had been
talked about by the commission
ers when session, but nothing had
got into the record at that time,
and we did not go elsewhere in
search of the information. The
most of our people would rather
see something of record than to
take Mr.. Blake's word that it is
all right.

Facts About Cement And
The Cement Plant.

The Orofino Cement plant is to be
located northeast of town, and will
cover about two hundred acres, upon
which will be built thirteen buildings,
covering nineteen acres, and costing
100000 One third of these build.
ings are to be of cement and one third
of steel; the remainder of brick and
lumber.
The work Of preparing the grounds
has been going on for about two
months, and the railroad siding from
the N. P. track to the plant will be
built at once,
The company will employ all white
laborers, except those working in the
quarries, who are to be foreigners
Greeks and Italians. The reason given
for this is that white men will not work
in the quarries.
TIL plant proper will employ from
$50 to IFS men, who will be paid an av-
erage wage of $500 a day. Taking il
for granted that It's men are to be en-
ployed for twelve months, the pay roll
for year will be 1853, 500.
Under favorable circumstances il
takes one year to complete a two thous-
and-barrel-a.day plant. Hence the
Orofino plant will not be completed
until the latter part of 1913.
Cement is made of so per cent of
limestone and 20 per cent clay. This
mixture is heated until it is near the
consistency of water; then it is cooled,
forming hard Jumps, which are ground
as fine as flour. After sacking, the
cement is then ready for the market.
In the last ten years the use of ce-
mcnt has increased twenty-eight times
as much as lumber, eight times as much
as coal, and three times as much as Pc
troleum.

for the Orofino High School L. and D..
Club, by Miss Margaret Delaney

Morris Rath Second sssemsn of White sos.

The new crop of ball players in the major leagues, including those who broke in this year or the latter part of last year, is making pretty re- spectable showing in fast company, and there Is goodly crop of those who are likely to be fixtures. if not already that. Scouts and managers deplore the great lack of timber in the bushes, and with some of these newcomers it may be case of taking them or nothing. Yet the proportion of those who are sticking and making their presence felt is fairly large.
 Among this number a prominent one is Dubic, the Detroit pitcher, al though he had been in the big leagues before and is no tender bud in base ball society. Another comeback who arifted back to the minors between sojcurns in fast company is George Mcconnell. Likewise Hess. Among he newer crop of pitchers dug up his year or late last year are Bas- kette, Steen, Benz, Hamilton. Allison,

REAL BOSS OF GIANTS
Responsibility Shifted on Former
 0rioIe Captain.
Wilbert Robinson Given Credit for Success of Rube Marquard and Wonderful Showing of Mo
 Graw's Team This Season.

Wilbert Robinson. formerly back stop of the invincible Orioles, stands today in the spotlight of fandom as the most successful trainer in base ball.
 Robbie is responsible for the sue cess of Rube Marquard, and as we'll for the wonderful showing the Giants have made this season and last. Most of the honor goes to John McGraw, manager of the famous New York team, but if anything serious should happen to the little Napoleon there is little doubt that Robbie would step in- to his shoes.
 The result of Robinson's success is that he has been placed almost in en- tire charge of the team, McGraw elect ing to witness each game from the side lines, although all the work that once burdened his shoulders has been shifted to the Baltimorean. For his share in keeping the team in trim Rob bic draws down $150 week, and he as we'll is entitled to liberal percentage of the receipts in every world series in which the Giants figure in the divi- sion
 Robbie recently spent two days in Baltimore. In an interview Robbie stated that his duties are to work out the players in morning practice, to se- lect the pitchers for each day, to de- eide when a twirler is to be taken out and to work the signals from the bench.
 There is no doubt in my mind about the National league winning this season." Robbie says. We've got the pennant cinched, and there will be new champion team of the world when the big series of next fall is over with. There is no secret to the success of our team. It is the best aggregation of players in baseball, and there is not a weak spot any where. Team work figures largely in the results, but that's what makes or breaks any club, as without it no or ganization can expect to meet with the unprecedented success that has characterized our march so far this season and the latter part of last"

ROWDY PLAYERS GONE
Class of Men Better Than in
 Former Years.
Catcher Joe sugden Says Ball Tosser Would Be Insane to Attempt to Drink Steadily Under Modern
 Conditions of Game.

Leaving aside all considerations ae to whether the game of baseball has progressed-an personally I think fl has-there can be no argument over the fact that the class of players is better now than it was in the old days says Joe Sugden, the former St. Paul catcher.
 "A modern big league baseball club is as well behaved body of men as you will find anywhere There used to be time when the best hotels fought shy of the ball tossers, but now the landlords fight to get them. A man would be insane if he tried to drink steadily under modern condi- tions. The game is too fast for any one but an athlete in splendid condi- ton.
 Instead of reporting in the spring saturated with winters accumuIa- tion of alcoholics as did some of the old-timers, the men of today, or at least most of them, are about ready to get in and play ball when they arrive at the training camps. There are some of the fellows who naturally ac- cumulate flesh in the cold months when they do not get much exercise. but there are very few who put on any fat through the medium of beer.
 No big league scout nowadays will recommend a player who has the rep utation of being a steady drinker, thnttuh hn 1a, to excess. There is no room in the leagues for the saloon boys. and it doesn't take anyone long to learn that baseball and booze are not good friends.
 If saloon keeper could be assured the patronage of the entire American and National leagues. he wouldn't be able to pay rent. I do not mean that every big leaguer is teetotaler. but there are lot of abstainers and a vast majority will take only couple of glasses of beer day.
 "The rowdy is passing from base ball rapidly and the sooner he disap- pears entirely the better it will be for the game. Naturally the improvement in the big leagues is having its effect on the smaller circuits. The minor players realize that they have little chance of going up if their reputa- tions are bad, and, with scouts turk ing around all the time, 1t pays to cut out the rough stuff.
 Baseball ought to be gentleman's business, and the players who deserve the name of gentlemen are becoming more numerous season after season. If a fellow cant act the part. he bet ter find some other occupation"
