PETE PROVES HE is A HOWLlNo
cIICCESS

Pete circuit, who has caused his
enemies more grief in the eight months
he has been a citizen of Orofino than
some men suffer in life time, affirms
in his last issue that he has been
"a bowling success" and proves II by
the following statement Of events that
have taken place there since his arrival:
We have been running the Republi-
can only eight months, and look at the
progress that has been made in this
community! There was not jail in
the county when we moved to Orofino;
Orofino now has one of the best in the
state. 1t was completed the week we
landed. Eight months ago there was
not an automobile in Orofino; today
there are half a dozen, and half the PEG
pie are crazy to acquire the habit OF
buying gasoline and mortgagina their
homes for spark plugs, differentials and
rubber tires. When we came into
Clearwater county eight months ago
there were three lawyers; today Oro-
fino boasts of five lawyers, and through
our efforts we have created enough
business for twice that number, and the
legal fraternity at Lewiston and Mos
COW have felt the stimulus of trade
brought on through our efforts. Eight
months ago, when We "blew in to
Orofino, the state insane asylum at this
place had only $50 inmates; today 1t
boasts of over three hundred, and If
business keeps up the next legislature
will have to double the capacity OF the
plant In eight months we have made
more enemies, and won more friends
than any two men in the county ever
hope to have, and the work Is only
started.
We have Doubled the subscription
list of the Republican, and made it
the best advertising medium in the
county; we have made the paper loved
and hated, respected and scorned by
the entire population OF the county. and
those who don t take 1t borrow their
neighbours and read it.
We said that when we came here We
proposed to put Orofino on the map,
and only this week the n. T. railroad
company sent its immigration agent to
Orofino for the specific purpose Of do
ing that very thing.
Then look what we have done in the
matter Of good roads. Everybody knows
that more good roads have been built.
more mud holes fixed and more money
spent on good roads than was previous
iy spent since Clearwater county was
created. We are highly gratified at the
results of good roads day. which was
really our idea, but we have remained
silent and let Zelenka get most of the
credit. Frank needs 1t for campaign
issue, since he Is still running for
office. If we have anything else that
win help Frank out he is welcome to
It, We haven't time to enumerate all
we have done, but we have mentioned
enough to convince any unprecedented
mind that we have been a bowling sue
cess. We have said nothing about the
choice collection of Blake gang skins
We have tackled to our woodshed door
nor the political scalps that dang1e at
our belt; we have not even mentioned
that we have been arrested twice and
sued for $4,000 damages to the rep
utations of the Blakes When we con-
slider the facts In this case it is real
ly our most noteworthy effort, for to
do one-twentieth of a million dollars
of damages to men of disrepute Is a
work worthy of no ordinary man. 1t
fills us with pride. and swells our
head
