Two Leagues Consolidate
Civic Improvement League and Bet.
terment League to Unite as Ameri.
can Fork ENLIGHTENMENT League.

The Executive Committees of the
American Fork Civic Improvement
League and the American Fork Bet.
terment League held meeting Mon.
day evening and voted to consolidate
the two organizations. The consoli.
dalton will not be complete till the
members will have voted on the mat.
ter, which will be done at the annual
meeting to be held on the oath, inst
undoubtedly the two organizations
will ratify the actions of their exc
cutive committees.
The consolidation is being made be-
cause practically the same people are
members of both organizations whose
work overlaps to great extent. The
objects Of both associations can be
secured by one body. so 1t was de-
cided TO amalgamate them under the
name of the American Fork Civic
Betterment League.
The Civic Improvement League has
good record In its brief life of
three years II has secured many free
lectures by eminent speakers. inaug-
urated the annual clean up" move
ment, secured improvements on var
ious streets, secured flag stops for
the d. & r. c. through trains, formed
the neclues for free public library,
secured the Improvement of the city
cemetery. inaugurated an efficient
street lighting system, and various
other reforms and improvements.
The Betterment League was but re-
Gently organized. but in its brief ex-
istance has awakened the most
healthy prohibition sentiment that
bids fair to eliminate the dives and
blind pigs from the city
Both organizations will be strength
ened by the union and will be able to
do better and more efficient work.

err will note very steep mountain. AS
a hill it is nothing unusual, but when
the reader understands that this hill is
full of high grade limerick from
which the highest quality Of lime is
manufactured. and that there is now
located at the foot of this hill a two
kiln lime factory, that has operated sue
cessfully for years, and only temper
arity closed, and soon to be opened and
operated, it will be seen that Orofino
has natural resources at her door upon
which to build thriving city.
On the left will be seen more noun
tains, rising 1000 feet above Orofino.
These mountain sides are covered with
rich soil, and valuable for agricultural
purposes, especially fruits and vegef-
able. But of far more value is the vast
deposit of limestone of which these
hills are made, enough near our town
limits to run mammoth cement fac
tory for several hundred years, and SO
located for economical operation that
the Orofino plant can compete success
fully with any plant in the West. Oro-
fino has one Of the largest, purest and
best located cement propositions in
the entire world.

let because Orofino is on the water
grades every railroad must take that
taps these inexhaustable forests. And
railroads must be built.
According to information published in
a recent issue of the Lewiston Tribune
the proposed sale Of 600,ODO,0O feet Of
forest reserve timber near Weippe and
Pierce will take place in July, and
work must start at once on railroad of
some IS miles from Orofino to Weippe,
and on into the timber. That the sale
will take place there is now no doubt,
therefore the railroad is certain, and all
that this means in business way to
Orofino is also certain. 1t means an
era Of prosperity long hoped for by the
people Of Clearwater county, the COM
ing of which is now in sight. Real es-
tate is sure to advance, business will
hum, the farmer is going to have a
home market beyond his ability to sup
ply, and labor will be in demand to an
extent that will require the settling
here of thousands of men and their
families. Not only Orofino, but the en-
tire county will be on the map.

been cleared and large amount Of
money already expended. A tight
money market, a condition that has him
dered business enterprises all over the
United States the past year, has had its
influence on the local plant, but there
is now assurance Of resumption OF ac-
tive work, and the early completion Of
the mammoth plant.
The important fact is not that some
company, undertaking big industrial
work, meets with difficulties, but that
here at Orofino is great deposit of
high grade cement material that some
company is going to to develop, and
the development Of which will give en-
ployment to lot of men, about Us,
and that this means payroll for Oro-
fino and permanent business for the
town. It means more homes. That is
the point and nobody can take this val
liable resource away from Orofino
That is why Orofino is going to grow;
that is why real estate in Orofino is 60
ing to be worth lot more than it is to-
day, and why Orofino is good place IN
which to invest money.

Nestled among the pine clad hills, in
one Of the most fertile valleys in the
world, on the banks of the Clearwater
river, lies Orofino, the county seat of
the greatest undeveloped county in the
United States. Orofino is the natural
outlet for an undeveloped empire, a
country that stretches away east for
more than hundred miles to the Mon
tana state line. This country is now
mostly dense forest, owned by the
United States in the Clearwater forest
reserve, a small part OF which is to be
sold in July this year at public auction,
the beginning Of numbering activities
that mean wonderful prosperity for a
hundred years to come. For so i'm
mense is the timbered resources to be
opened that no man now living will see
the end Of it, though he live four score
years and ten.
Centering at or near Orofino are the
great waterways whose silver streams
flow in turbulent restlessness from
their source away east in the Rocky
mountains, making Orofino the gateway
for every railroad built to haul the tom
mage to the markets Of the world. Ma
