WHAT ABOUT the FUTURE of OROFINO

What about the future OF OrOfinO?
This is question that interests lot Of
people, for there are many who have
invested here in real estate all they
have; others who have their money in
vested in business, dependent on the
growth and prosperity of this town and
the surrounding country for their sue
cess or failure. And then we have
another class, just as much interested,
the men who, with only their labor to
sell, and family to support, are depen-
dent on employment for the sustenance
OF wife and children. Regardless OF
who you are you are interested, al
though you may own a farm near town
and live in the country. So the ques-
ton Of Orofino's future growth and the
measure Of her prosperity is Of general
interest.
Now, what about the future Of Oro-
fino?
Is Orofino going to grow? To answer
this let the reader ask another question.
Is there anything upon which to grow?
Has Orofino any natural resources?
Let us see. Surrounding Orofino is
as rich soil, and as fine a climate, as
can be found anywhere. No informed
person will question this. In the
Clearwater valleys, and stretching away
for miles in every direction is a vast
empire OF agricultural land, yet but
thinly settled, and scarcely touched by
the hand of man, yet capable of sus-
tanning dense population. This land
is from one to three thousand feet
above sea level, with climate as var
led as the altitude, producing in abund-
ance delicious peaches, melons, Eng
lish walnuts, and apples OF unsurpassed
flavor and quality. In the lower alti-
tudes tomatoes mature with absolute
certainty, and in such quantities as to
make the culture of this crop something
worth while. In the squash and pump
kin lines no section of the west does
better, while melons as good as the
Rocky Ford district in Colorado are
possible.
Is this all? No. For wheat, oats,
barley and all kinds of grass, Idaho
does not hold spot where nature does
more for the farmer The Orofino
farmer can raise clover, alfalfa, and ex-
cellent corn, assuring abundance of the
cheapest kind OF food for beef and
dairy stock, and affording the best of
conditions under which to produce fine
hogs at low cost. So sure as time
rolls on just so sure will Orofino some
day, probably in the very near future,
become dairy district OF Importance,
and in this town will be located and
grow up creamery business that will
distribute annually hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars among our dairy farm
erS.
To the man who laughs at this let the
Republican but ask: Go read up on the
dairy industry. See what it has done
for the Elgin, Illinois farmers, and for
Holland and Denmark, and thousand
districts in the United States, few pos
sessing equal natural advantages over
the country around Orofino. In speak
ing of this industry not long since the
objection was raised that dairying would

Indians Guard Race Purity.

An incident recently came to light which
clearly shows the determination of the
San Bias Indian of Panama to maintain
his foothold in the fertile territory in
which he lives as well as his desire to
maintain purity of blood. A short time
ago the chief of the tribe living at Rio
Biablo, on the San Bias coast, ordered
the burial alive of an infant a few days
old because it was the offspring of
negro and a woman member of the tribe.
The negro was ordered to leave the
country.
The old chief made is clear that the
day either white man q negro acquires
foothold among them that day will
mark the beginning of the loss of their
independence. Strangers who come into
the Indian territory are not always treat
ed kindly. Recently party of white men
appeared in the San Bias country to work
a gold mine which they had been told ex-
listed in the interior. The Indians resent
ed their coming and drove them out of
the country.
Canal employees. in anticipation of the
time when they return to the United
States, have organized a colony club with
the view of forming farm and indus
trial colony in one of the southern states.
The object is to undertake the investiga-
ton of numerous offers for farm lands
and industrial opportunities that are con-
stantly being held out to chose who are
about to leave the isthmus. The com
munity idea seems strongly in favor
among the canal workers, and it is eX-
pected that several such communities Will
result from the investigations undertaken
by the colony club.

RAILROAD NOT
EQUAL TO IT'S Burden
Traffic Has Increased Enormously
Since Closing of the Tehuan-
tepec Route.

PANAMA. May 1S.-Stoppage of the Te-
huantepec railway route across Mexico
has so increased traffic across the isthmus
of Panama that the Panama railroad is
almost unable to cope with the situation.
Practically every car the railroad owns
is in service. and still mountains OF
freight at the terminals show no signs
of dminution. Several large freiShters
are seen daily at anchor in the Pacific
roadstead off Balboa waiting for a chance
to get to the wharf to unload their car
goes that are destined finally to reach
New York and other eastern United
States ports.
At the time the route across Mexico was
interrupted there were several ships I'M
loading in the harhor at Saina Cruz.
Every effort was made 10 unload the
ships and get away before the port was
closed. but several of the vessels We're
unable to get their cargoes on the wharf
in time. In consequence they sailed for
Panama with parts of their cargoes.
The arrival of the sugar ships of the
Observation-Disclosures line led the Panama
canal authorities to start a barge line
through the canal in hope of relieving
the situation.

Paradise has been swung into position.

IN THE World OF SPORTS
MORE ACTION in MINOR LEAGUE BALL
HAS THRILLS WHICH MAJORS LACK
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON

have just received a question
from a Memphis fan" wanting
to know how much stronger a
major league club Ia than Q minor.
The Philadelphia Athletics, the
class of major league teams now,
probably would win IL out of ey-
cry IL games played against a
class AA team--in mid season.
They probably would win IA out
of every Is games from a class A
team Of merit and not more from
a class b team, although class
A would beat class b. 1t 10 con-
ceivabie that even q class B
team might beat the Athletics 4
out of z games, but such q thing
would mean that one or two
pitchers did II alone.
Yet the thing that makes 1t diff
ficult to give the correspondent a
direct answer IL the fact that
baseball is just a. good In the
minor leagues as in the majors.
Further, think that on an aver
age, the contests In minor leagues
are more interesting.
The answer depends largely
upon what the correspondent
means by better" teams. The
major leagues have the pick of
the minors. They select, buy and
draft the best players they can
get. In this way they secure the
best players--for their purposes.
This rule, while seeming to work
injustice, really IL what makes
minor league baseball so interest
ing. The strongest club In a
minor league loses the most play
ers. The following season the
other clubs have q chance.
