And here will be another good ad-

Many citizens of Orofino have taken
time to ship box Of cherries to some

boosting for the man who is growing
the best cherries on earth.
Nor is there any mere boast to say
that this section produces the finest
cherries in the world. We do, and
the cherries themselves are the best
proof. Where is the country that can
beat "a Lamberts for solid yard of
cherries? And where the country that
can show the same amount of qualiy

OROFINO CHERRIES
BEAT THE WORLD

A yard of cherries, and only thirty
four at that! Isn't that going some?
Think of it, cherries more than an
inch in diameter, and as good and luc-
iOus as cherries ever grow. To the
average easterner this will sound
fishy, but it is the truth, and if the
reader has been in Orofino the past
few days the saw the yard of cherries
in the window of the Owl Drug store.
This is the famous Lambert cherry,
that grows to perfection here in Orofino
and surrounding country, and on land
that today is worth about SIS an adre.
Yesterday the writer was telling a
travelling man on the Lewiston train
about these large cherries, grown
in Clearwater county larger and
better than anywhere else in the
world, when the man suddenly in
quired:
''Can you get me a box?'

only one real side-the honest taxa

business basis upon which this issue
may be determined, and justice rem

square deal, and is entitled to it, re-
gardless of who happens to be elected
to some petty county Office. If the
Golden Rule, "Do unto others as we

soon be little over which to equarrel,

FARMER
MAKES FINE BUTTER


And speaking of butter reminds az
that the Deterle farm is noted for it's
excellent quality of dairy butter,
which will rank with the finest cream
cry products anywhere. Mr.. Deterle
not only knows how to put the quail
ity into his product but he appre-
ciates the value Of putting his pro-
duct on the market in way that ap-
peals to the better class of trade, and
commands the top price. After he
has wrapped his bars of golden good
ness in neatly printed sanitary pa
per, nicely printed, he has q card
board case, just large enough to hold
pound bar, and into this he deposits
each brick. That it keeps better,
and is better for this extra care, will
be attested by anyone who has SAM
pied the Detele poroduct. 1t pays.

PECK PEOPLE FAVOR
COUNTY DIVISION.

That the sentiment in the Peck Sec
tion Of Nez Perce county for county
division, with view to annexation
to Clearwater county is seriously con-
sidered by the people in the Peck Sec
tion, there is little doubt. In the
last tissue Of the Peck News appeared
the following:
To the Peck News: l see in your
last issue quite a lengthy item in re-
gard to the annexation of Peck and
vicinity to Lewis or Clearwater coun-
ties, and also the item taken from the
Vollmer Spokesman.
Now, as to being annexed to Lewis
county we fail to see where you would
be benefited by the change, as you
would still be the tag end of the
county. And as to going to the coun-
ty seat, you would have to climb a
couple of thousand feet in the twenty
five mile drive or 60 through portion
of Clearwater and Nez Perce counties
and then back into Lewis county, a
distance of about sixty-two miles by
rail. And again, you would have to
pay as high taxes in one county as in
the other, besides, if few more of
the taxpayers of the south part of
Lewis county would object to the
improvements of your section you
would be unable to demand and OBJ
tain anything they would object to
you having.
Now as to that large lot Of people
around Vollmer wanting back into old
Nez Perce again we are on a stump,
and the only reason that We can con-
ceive is that they have the idea in
their think box that Lewiston has

Perce, but unless things have
changed in the last few years there is
no percepable difference.
Now as to the advantages Of being
annexed to Clearwater county, the in
terests Of the Peck section and that
part of Clearwater county lying north
of the river are identical and your
chances of bridge across the river
would be as good if not better than if
you had to depend on a joint bridge
built by both counties. In attending
to county seat business it is only a
matter of a couple of hours drive
from Peck, or if the N. P. Ry. Co.
makes the improvements advertised
on the COW trail along the river, the
trip can be made almost as quickly by
rail.
Perhaps you are afraid of the we'll
sustained charges of graft and in
efficiency of the officers Of Clearwater
county, but after the next election
that will be remembered only as q
bad dream. By the time another
election comes around that part of the
county lying south of the main river
and west of the north fork would be
sufficiently strong to have some say
in the administration of county
affairs.
Now as to you people wanting to
get out of Nez Perce county, we don I
blame you, for Lewiston has certainly
handed you lemons enough to make
you feel sour, and we know that q
welcome awaits you if you decide to
come into the Clearwater fold.

tunnel to tap the ledge, and will in
stall stamp mill as soon as he can
get the development that far.
Of all the sights of this quaint old
mining town none proved quite so in
teresting as an old log house, in it's
day a building Of some Importance
and architectural proportions. ''This
was the first court house in what is
now the state of Idaho," said Jim
Porter, who took time to go with us
on visit to the old hall of justice
where in 1862 Judge j. R. Mcbride,
now of Wallace, Idaho, presided as
the first judge of the district, having
been appointed by President Lincoln
in 1862
This old court house still stands
without decay, except that the origi-
nal roof has once been replaced, and
somebody has put in petition across
the upstairs. 1t is a two-story struc-
ture, built of hewn logs, making a
neat wall some eight inches thick.
The lower floor was the original state
penitentiary, with four substantial
cells on the ground floor, and SO far
as we could learn nobody ever sue
cee'led in getting out Of this bastile.
One look at the walls and ceilings is
enough to satisfy the causual observer
that it would really be some job to
cut through the walls of this wooden
pen. After the log walls, themselves
solid and massive, each cell is double
lined with handmade lumber, spiked
to the outer logs with homemade nails
driven into the walls at distance of
two inches apart. These planks,
which are double, are spiked on ang-
ling with the logs, and the two thick
nesses running at right angles with
each other.
We were shown the original court
house lock, large old fashioned
affair, with big brass key, which is
kept by the present owner of the
property as souvenir of pioneer
days.
The upper floor was the court room,
where Judge Mcbride presided over
the first court in the state, and in
this court room some of the ablest
lawyers our state has ever had ap-
pealed to Judge and jury just as they
do in these modern days.

To people living within the terri
tory of the Clearwater Timber Pro-
tective Association: You must have
a written permit before you can burn
any slashing or set fire of any kind.
This is absolutely necessary so we
can tell where to look for the fire
provided the permit is issued, which
will all depend on the weather con-

There is not more delightful trip
in the country than that from Orofino
back into the woods to the old town
of Pierce, thirty miles east of the
county seat.
In company with party of republi-
cans. who autoed to Weippe Saturday
afternoon, the editor of the Republi-
can had the pleasure of seeing Pierce
city, a town with real history, and a
story that reads like fiction.
Away back in the Cos, when the
West was wild and wooly, and In
dians were real savages, when might
made right, and law was what the
men of the camp made it, Pierce
City was discovered. That is, gold
was discovered at Pierce, and in the
early sixties Pierce was a mining
camp of some Importance. Somebody
told us that at one time Pierce had
a population of about Is, 900, and that
possibly one hundred millions of gold
has been taken out of the gravel at
that camp since its discovery.
White men apparently gave way to
Chinese, 5000 of which worked in
that district after the whites, skim
ming the surface, abandoned the dig
gins.
It was during the days when the
Cinnamon were SO numerous, when
the only white man in the camp was
an old man named Frazier, who was
running q store, was murdered by
Cinnamon, and six of them were later
hanged by mob from Lewiston, who,
disguised as Indians, stopped the
stage just outside of Pierce, and
strung the bunch up to trees.
There are now only a dozen
Cinnamon in the camp, men who have
lived there for years. The old Chi
nese burying ground is located on the
hill across the creek from town, and
year after year the bones of those
who were buried there have been dug
up and shipped back to the flowery
kingdom to be laid away with those
of their ancestors.
We were shown the big dredge that
is working over the gravel of Orofino
creek, and was disappointed in that
the massive machinery was not in
operation when our party visited the
old camp. This dredge was only re-
Gently rebuilt, having been partly de-
stroyed by fire last year, and thereby
hangs another tale that may some day
make interesting reading, for the
general opinion as we heard the old
settlers relate the story of the camp
is that the dredge was set on fire, and
there was little secret about who the
guilty parties are. The people think
they know.
Orofino creek spreads out into 9
meadow at Pierce, probably thous-
and feet wide, and the placer miner,
with crude methods, was never able
to get to the bedrock in many places
After this ground had been WORKED
over and over white men came bacl
and modern machinery was installed
and for months this massive thing ha,
dug its way into the gravel down t.
the bedrock, and crawled along dowl
the valley recovering the last ounce
of precious yellow stuff that mad
men suffer hardships in the days o
long ago. The lure of gold is ye
attracting man, and a visit to thi
old mining camp will reveal the sire
power of gold.

Nine or ten fires are now burning

The forests are dry as tinder and it
is practically impossible to extinguish

cerned lest the fires this year prove
disastrous beyond measure.
