CORN FED HOGS
SHOW BIG PROFITS

The Republican would again empha.
size the fact that every farmer in
Clearwater county should quit shipping
grain, converting it rather into more
valuable product-namely, meat.
Which raises the question: Do hogs
pay? Let us see.
A few days ago Louis Soderberg
drove into Orofino with seven July
pigs. Three months ago he bought
them, paying therefor $3.50. From
the time he bonght them till they were
slaughtered they were fed nothing but
corn and pure water, consuming about
fifty bushels raised by Mr.. Soderberg
on his farm near Orofino. In ninety
days these seven pigs dressed 1897 l-2
pounds, worth cents, or $107.77.
And the important feature Of this
actual experience of local farmer is
the fact that these pigs were matured
on Clearwater county corn, fact ol
immense importance to the farmer
who knows the value OF this great
cerial,

Washington, D. Ex-senator LaFol-
lette, whose prgressiveness can hardly
be questioned, no matter under what
banner he chooses to fight, sent tele-
gram a few days ago to Rudolph
Spreckles at San Francisco, who has
been active in registering and reorgan-
izing the Republican voters Of Cali
fornia, which leaves no doubt as to his
position in national politics. The Wis
consin senat r. makes it plain he be-
leves the great majority of the Repub-
lican voters, the rank and file Of the
party, are progressive, and that they
will be in complete control Of the re-
organized party.
LaFollette's independence is so well
known that there has been consider
able speculation as to where he would
stand when political lines are drawn
again for the next battle, and his mes
sage to Spreckles Is arousing no little
comment here on account of his large
personal following.
The telegram was as follows:

There is great deal more to this
hog story than has yet been brought
out. Does the fact that corn natures
in the Clearwater valley mean any
thing? 1t does to the man who knows.
1t means that the Clearwater valley
farmer, who can raise corn, does not
need to summer fallow, and can pro-
duce profitable crop every year.
Compare this to what the farmer is up
against wherever land must be left
idle third or half the time. While
many people now living in Clearwater
county do not appreciate what they
have; do not appreciate the value Of
land here, the day will soon come
when men who do appreciate condi-
tions as found here will come in and
supplant the fellow who don't know a
good thing when he has it, and we
will have repetition Of the expert
ences of that Palouse farmer, related
in another column Of this paper. There
is nothing the matter with Clearwater
county.

oions in the world. But instead Of see
ing our grain shipped across the Pa
cific from Seattle or Portland, or even
sent back East in the form Of flour, we
will have to turn greater proportion
of it into dairy products, beef, mutton
or pork. We are now importing from
the eastern states, and even from New
Zealand, millions OF dollars worth OF
butter and cheese. Think what money
could do in the development Of the
farms Of this Inland Empire. Or course
it means steady work TO take care Of a
dairy herd You have to rise early,
summer and winter alike and perhaps
you will have to hurry back from town
in the afternoon to feed and milk at
the regular hours. But after all, the
satisfaction OF seeing your property
grow in value each year ought to make
up for lot OF hard work and inconven.
/ ience. And one always has the hope
that his property will keep on growing
until he can let some one else do the
early rising and the rest Of the hare
work. In any case it is better thar
seeing your returns fall off year b.
year, while the store keeper and tn,
tax collectors demands keep on in
creasing. For the man who will no
milk cows, there is the chance to pro
duce beef, mutton or pork.
These products will all mean returl

much greater in the end. There ar

BLAKE'S BOND ISSUE
STRIKES A SNAG

The outlook for the new court house
under Blake gang rule in Clearwater
county does not look promising, if the
petitions for and against, as presented
to the county board Saturday, is cri-
terion Of public sentiment.
For reasons which are anything but
complimentary to Commissioners Ze-
lenka and Torgerson, who are credited
generally with being Blake puppets,
the taxpayers for the second time are
opposed to voting bonds to be used in
court house construction under gang
domination. For weeks Zelenka and
Torgerson have had men securing the
county circulating petitions asking the
board to call a special bond election.
Saturday the board met to see how
things stood. Here is the result of the

Fancy Apples Wanted.

"There is no money in apples in
Clearwater county," Did you ever
hear anything like this? And did you
ever hear anyone say: "This is not an
apple country?" All Of which shows
lack of knowledge and generally rank
ignorance. You can raise as good ap-
pies here in Clearwater county, and
especially around Orofino, as can be
grown anywhere in the world, and the
proof is in the apples that have been
raised right here. II LaForest can
produce them SO can any other man
who knows his business, and does as
LaForest does. And there you have it.
How about selling them. Well, an
effort is being made right now to get
fancy apples for shipment to Kellogg,
Idaho, where fancy price is offered
for fancy fruit. OF course you cannot
get fancy price for culls; you have nc
right to expect that, but some growers
do expect it, and are always disap'
pointed.
By parcels post it will cost 81 cents
per box to ship adples to Kellogg, Ida
no, and fancy stuff is worth more thar
$500 box. Which brings out the fac
that the farmer must learn to pack hi:
| fruit, an art that is now being taugh
, in some of the public schools in the ap
, pie districts Of Washington, and shoult
: be here as soon as the industry grows
a little. Poor apples do not pay, ant
, good apples, poorly packed and i'm
a properly sorted and graded, will no
: bring top prices.
9 There is money in fancy apples, an
there is right now demand for larg
shipment of fancy stuff for the minin
districts of northern Idaho, a fey
miles away from Orofino. II you hav
It the goods get in touch with Nj
LaForest at once.
