School Commencement
And Program, May 28

To another class 81 our young
people ~ end of school days has
como. Those wis shall continue
their educational course will here
attsr be college or university students
young mon anl young ladies, after
the more or less dixnieed manner Of
college students.
However. this is the glad time Of
school days-the parting days-the
days when they feel that they have
passed the first stage in the voyage
Of life. They rejoice and we rejoice
with them. We are proud Of them
each and every one. Proud that they
have stayed SO persistently with their
studies and have reached the reward
time Of school life. The years will
come when they will look back with
something of longing to the old
school days, when the bright things
of the old school life will appeal most
strongly, and the unpleasant ones
will pale on the horizon. The time
will come when they will look with
displeasure at the suggestion of any
change in the dear old school house
which always seems good enough to
them. But with it all, each and
every son and daughter of Orofino
High will always be proud of the old
school and will ever rejoice in its
progress and prosperity, and always
be proud of the fact that they gradu-
ated here.
This years graduating class, while
not large, is very satisfactory one.
1t might be hard to find brighter,
better or more intelligent class ir
many days journey. Each and
every member has acquitted himself
or herself in highly satisfactory
manner, and each may feel that he OF
she has won the diploma which certi.
fies to efficient work throughout the
course.
The class of 1915 is composed oi
the following students: Margaret
Delaney, Verl Oliver, Grace Larkin,
Laura Small, Margaret White, ant

Spokane, Wash, May 18, 1915.
Editor Clearwater Republican,
OrofinO, Idaho.
Dear sir: We will arrive at Oro-
fino on the freight train next Monday
due there usually about IL o'clock.
By invitation Prof. Shaw will dine at
the noon luncheon with DR.. Givens,
but ! have advised the host that we
must be at the Odd Fellows hall at
two p. m. sharp. l sincerely hope
this meeting can be pulled off on
time. We must leave on the 8 AZ
train for Kamiah. It is usual for
Prof. Shaw to invite inquiries from
the audience and this necessarily
often "eats up" great deal of time,
and ! am extremely anxious that the
largest possible number Of your
farmers shall receive the greatest
possible benefit from the experience
Of Prof. Shaw and Prof. Willison,
hence I hope this meeting can be
tapped" promptly on time.
Yours truly,
G. E RNEY.

wool will pay for the keep, leaving
the increase in lambs net gain, and
asks where farmer can beat this.
Ewes are worth about $500 per
head at this time. His band Of

his 1915 wool clip will pay all cost
for the year.

to pay moro attention to sheep, for =

Samson Snyder And Wife Return

Mr.. and Mrs. Samson Snyder, after
two-weeks tour through western
Washington, returned to Orofino Sum-
day evening. During their trip they
visited Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane and
many other points where they inspect
ed many miles of new state highways.
OF recent years the state of Washing
ton has been spending immense sums
of money on public roads, and all
classes of people, both in the city and
rural, have the good roads fever. In
some sections, concrete roads prevail
and everywhere they were impressed
with the important fact that regard
less Of the material used, these roads
are always well crowned. Mr.. Sny-
der said he was now convinced that
our Clearwater county roads are
generally too fiat, and bases this
conclusion by comparing our roads
with the recognized standard highways
in Washington and Oregon.
''The first essential of good roads, .
said Mr.. Snyder, in talking to the
Clearwater Republican, lis drainage,
and found everywhere that this was
always recognized and if roads are to
be good there must be rapid drainage,
and plenty of crown is always pro-
vided."
Mr.. Snyder illustrates by referring
to the stretch of road from the Chris
tian church up Orofino creek, criti-
cised by some as having too much
crown in places. After his triE

Sheep Profitable Line
On Clearwater Farms

X. G. Ousterhout, one of the best
known farmers Of the Nez Perce
section, accompanied by his wife
visited in Orofino during the week.
Mr.. Ousterhout is another who has
by experience, demonstrated the value
Of sheep on the farm in this part Of
Idaho. He says he has found sheep
the most profitable thing on the
farm, but would advise caution in
beginning, ~ one must learn how to
feed, care for and handle them. He
says that in his opinion care and feed
has much to do with the yield Of
wool, although breeding undoubtedly
has its value. He states n his ex-
perienee that sheep will return one

The continuous rains of the past
week have given the country thor
ough drenching. The Clearwater
river has raised about three feet, and
the Orofino creek is the highest it has
been for years. The explanation of
our copius down-pour, given by one
of our old time sages, is, that since
Lewiston has become seaport the
coast storms naturally reach there
and this section being in the immed.
late vicinity gets portion of the
flood.

WAR HURTS CANAL TRADE.
More Than 1000, 900 in Tolls Re.
ceived for Nearly Six Months.

Up to February 2, after the Panama
canal had been in operation just thirteen
days short Of six months, the total amount
of money received for tolls passed the
two-mllion-dollar mark. The interference
by the war with the expected flow Of busi-
ness through the canal was indicated by
the fact that during the month Of January
ninety eight vessels passed through. which
was one less than during the month Of
December. 1t happened. however. that
owing to the larger tonnage OF the ships
the quantity Of cargo carried exceeded all
preceding months
The total amount Of cargo transported
in January was 44s,957 tons, making a
total of 2,192,S56 tons passing through
the canal from the date Of its opening up
to February /. The trade between South
America and the United States and
Europe was the largest item. amounting
to 1885. tons and the next was west
ward bound coastwise traffic, which
amounted to 103,6O0 tons.
