DAIRY INDUSTRY
PAYS BIG DIVIDENDS

II was the ordinary Palouse farm, but
about 30 acres of it had been seeded
to alfalfa the the year before. This
and the fact that it was close to the
Spokane & Inland Railway made it
more suitable for my purpose than
some better places would haveibeen.
My first experience was not encour-
aging. The wheat growers in the
neighborhood all told me about the fool
ishness Of starting dairy farm in the
Palouse country. was also short OF
ready capital after paying for my place
and had to borrow money to buy cows
However as soon as l began shipping
milk to Spokane there was a monthly
income and it was possible to buy one
or two more every month. 1t took
only a few months to prove that even
scrub cows would pay well in this
country.
Now what has been the effect of this
kind of farming on the land? During
the first year on this place we cut all
the grain for hay and along with the
alfalfa-thirty acres of it-were able to
winter % head of stock (horses in.
cluded). Here are the methods and
results of this kind Iof farming. Be
sides the manure produced on oul
place we have hauled in hundreds oi
loads OF straw and stack bottoms from
neighboring places.
This material was spread in the cor
rel during the winter months. 1

OROFINO TO HAVE
MODERN HOSPITAL

cement company goes ahead and men
are employed, there will be need Of
hospital. If the government goes
ahead and sells the forest reserve tim
ber near Weippe, necessitating the
building Of railroad from Orofino into
the Weippe country, and the building
Of large saw mill, all Of which will
mean employment Of labor, there will be
need of a hospital, and DR.. Fairly will
provide it. The doctor is a pioneer Of
Orofino, and has all possible faith in the
ultimate prosperity and development
Of Clearwater county, and intends to
build and operate modern hospital
here in Orofino.
Men are clearing the ground this
week, beautiful slightly six-acre tract
on the slope west Of town, overlooking
the Clearwater river. A spring Of
pure water will afford ample supply
for all PURPOSES.

Ground is being cleared this week
for a new hospital here in Orofino, but
just when the building will be erected
is not definitely settled. DIR. J, M.
Fairly, who is behind the proposition is
now ready to build substantial struc-
ture, modern in every particular, and
give Orofino a first class hospital, just
as good as Moscow or Lewiston or any
other city has, but just when business
will justify the venture depends on
how business developes. 1t requires
more than climate and nurses and
physicians to support hospital. There
must be a lot of business, and unit
the business is assured the hospita
will not be built.
So it all depends. There must b'
employment for men, and any one Of |
number of things that may happen will
Justify the erection of the plant. If th'

der in the vain hope that through bru
tai, dastardly attacks no man would |
dare raise hand or his voice il oppo-
stion to thieves, the leaders of who
were supposedly respectable and trust
worthy state, county and city officials.
Thugs assaulted and beat, and reign
Of terror followed, and some good men
lost their lives, but gang rule went
down just the same.
In this connection let the Republican
ask:
What are the Clearwater county Off
cials afraid of? II their records are
clear who can hurt them? And if these
public officials are not guilty Of corrup-
ton and crime and official misconduct,
and have not skinned and robbed and
outraged the taxpayers they have
sworn to serve, why all this anxiety
and worry and stir and threat Of vio-
lence, and why form mob and dog the
editor OF the Republican? What is the
matter? What are these honest, re-
spectacle public officials afraid Of?
After talking for an hour and thirty
minutes, showing the necessity Of
building up home industries, and home
markets, and urging the farmers to de-
velope crcameries and canning factor
les, and encourage the development Of
the unlimited raw matarial right at
home, showing the farmer how he was
directly interested in developing any
thing that would make better home
markets, and save him freight, the
writer closed, put on his coat
and came home, reaching Orofino al
, eleven o'clock.
During the meeting when Orcutt was
about half through the mob arrived and
, came in, lead by public official Of
r the county, Pat Blake, whose condition
was such as to make him fit for any
: thing other than public speaking. The
: mob that accompanied Pat was gener
ally soused, and the reader need only
: to inquire of any unprejudiced persol
a who attended the meeting for confirm
, alton of this assertion.
r The question the Republican woul'
Il again ask is: What did this mob 60 Il
e Gilbert for, and why did they folio,
e the editor OF the Republican? On it
8 face, the action of the Clearwater coun
= ty gang OF Blake pie biters is enoug
to make any honest taxpayers sit u
q and take notice.
n P L. Orcutt is just as ready and an,
|, ious to meet Pat Blake in public dt
@ bate as he is to discuss official record
s through the columns Of the Republ
d can. Mob rule is not going to kee
t the people from knowing the fact
d Pat Blake dare not accept the challene
r, and discuss with the editor OF the r.
m publican, county politics. Let the d
,e bate be held in the biggest hall in Or
fino and let the people judge for ther
at selves.
D. When ar. you ready to debate Pa

of the good sense Of the people OF
Clearwater county to waste time telling
about speeches the editor Of this this
paper might make, and were it not for
the most astonishing thing which hap
pened Saturday night, nothing more
than mere mention OF the Gilbert
meeting would be made.
For several weeks the editor OF the
Republican had been invited to Gilbert,
six miles west OF Orofino, and make
talk to the people in the school house.
Nobody suggested a subject, leaving
the writer to use his own judgment as
to what he should say. The first meet
ing, February Z, was called off be-
cause Of the trip to Weippe. At the
invitation of at least three farmers the
writer finally accepted and agreed to
be there Saturday evening. No effort
was made to keep the matter quiet. 1t
was generally known around Gilbert
that "Windy Pete" would talk Satur-
day night. And within a few hours OF
the time the writer agreed to 60 to
Gilbert word came to the Republican
office that there was going to be
trouble; that the Blake gang would
be there and run the meeting. The
editor of this paper was repeatedly
warned that his trip to Gilbert would
result in trouble, Some Of the best
citizens of the Gilbert country asked
the writer not to talk politics, that it
was certain to result in serious trouble.
