WHY NOT CANNING PLANT
AT EVERY GROVE

| am informed that in proportion
to it's population Florida uses more
canned goods than any other State
in the Union. This applies not only
to canned milks, but meats and vege
tables, and while we could not sup
ply the two former we could can
enough fruits and vegetables no.

State, but the rest of the United

tances Con account of freight rates.
with the vegetable packers of other
States. With. citrus fruits it is diff
ferent, and our canned grapefruit
and oranges, preserved juice and
marmalade would find a ready
market at profit in every city in
the country if properly put up and
properly pushed.
canning plant, as heretofore
pointed out by tn1S paper, is not an
expensive annex to farm or grove,
and we hope the agitation going on
through the press and the influence
of the canning clubs will result in
canning factory in every commun
ity, or small plant on every farm.

farm and the grove less profitable
than they should be FLORIDA Grow

County Funds Draw Interest

Clearwater county, in all funds,
had on hand April 10, but SAL, $50. 80.
For the quarter ending April 10, the
first three months under County Treas
urer Oren Crockett, who is depositing
all monies under the Latah county
plan, there was earned in interest for
the people the sum of $491.31. Mr..
Crockett keeps all county money draw
ing % per cent. interest for the peo-
pie, as was promised the people dur
ing the last campaign. This is the
system or method of handling county
funds for which the Clearwater Re-
publican has been contending, and
over which the editor of the Republi-
can was compelled to endure a long
and expensive criminal libel suit.

N. P. win Fight

c. A. Murray of Tacoma, western
tax commissioner of the Northern Pa
cific railroad company, and George
Faris, N. P. attorney, were in Orofino
this week looking up data for a suit
to prevent alleged excessive taxation
of N. P. timber lands in Clearwater
county. 1t is alleged that in Clear
water county the railroad has been
assessed $22 an acre while adjoining
property, equally as good. belonging
to individuals, has been assessed at
only SIS or Sc an acre. Judge Steele
only this week, in similar case COM
ing from Latah county, gave the N.
p. company a decision in which an
assessment of some $1,000 was reduced
to about $400. The railroad company
has offered to compromise with Clear
water county on some SIG an acre,
having their holdings listed for sale
at this time at $14 an acre.

Orofino Lime Factory
May Soon Start Working

The plant is idle owing to financial
difficulties into which it got some
months ago, and DR.. Farley, the prin-
cipat owner, is quite anxious to turn
the business over to people who know
the business and will operate it, Civ
ing Orofino the benefit of home fac
tory and payroll. The Northern
Pacific railroad is looking for the
right man or men to take hold of the
Orofino plant.
Here is something worth while,
something that should attract capital,
although comparatively little is neces-
sary as the Orofno lime plant should
pay from the start.
The Clearwater Republican would
urge on every citizen in Orofno the
necessity Of doing little boosting,
and giving every possible encourage
ment to the end that the lime plant
may resume operations at the earliest
possible moment. Now get in and
boost.

The school election Monday after
noon passed off without undue friction.
Joseph Kaufman, county auditor, was
elected for the three year term and F.
Elliott Smith, county attorney, for
the one year term. U. G. Worden and
Fred Luttropp were named as opposing
candidates. The Orofino schools are
now in excellent condition, financially
and otherwise, and while there was
some division among patrons as to
choice of directors, there was unity as
to what the public schools should be.
There was no i'll feeling manifest dur
ing the day, and so far as the Repub-
lican can discover there is no sore
spots over the result of the outcome.

County Prisoners Work Roads

Under new law counties may now
work prisoners on public roads, and in
harmony with this law Clearwater
county has three men serving the pub
lie in this capacity. They are: John
Barkes, Sam Grande, and Andrew
Caverni, all Of Elk River, serving
sentences for bootlegging. Under
this law prisoners will more than
pay the county for the expense Of
board and keep, and render useful
service to the public. 1t will also
have most salutary effect on others
inclined to treat the laws Of the
land with contempt.

lime deposit was too good to be laying
idle, especially since it was practi
cal business for which there was all
kinds of market at this time. As
time goes on the demand for lime as 9

poses, will increase, so the business
should be most attractive.

Harry Gamble, a good booster of
Greer, was in Orofino recently relative
to the matter, and received encourage
ment everywhere. Everybody signed
his petition. There is some mile and
half of rock on the proposed connect
new Fords creek grade at the Arth
place. This will make raise of only
400 feet in two and half miles, and
enable farmer to drive to the county
seat, attend to business and return
home the same day. Another chance
to do some good boosting. Push it
along.

OrOfinO Commercial Club
Starts Important Work

One of the best meetings the Orofino
Commercial club has held was that
Wednesday night at the High School
building. 1t was planned to have

gentlemen were unable to remain for
the meeting. The meeting was

great interest. F. A. Jones, w. B.
Kline, Samson Snyder, jolly Bullock
and H. L. White were named as a
committee to gather data and confer
with the Lewiston Commercial Club
relative to the Orofino- Lewiston water
grade wagon road.
Another matter of Importance dis
cussed was the coming Cello celebra-
tion at Lewiston beginning May 8,
and committee was named to look
after the matter of advertising Clear
water county. This committee is H.

other members. Considerable discus
sion as to how best to advertise Clear

bration, when thousands of people will
visit Lewiston, was indulged in, and

several suggestions offered. 1t was
made plain that the Orofno CONNER
cial Club was organized to work for
the entire county, and all sections Of
the county is urged to participate.
1t was suggested that the club con-
fine its efforts the coming year princi-
pally to good roads, and do all in the
power Of the organization to encourage
the development of the livestock in
dustry in Clearwater county. Corn
and hogs and cattle is a good slogan,
and practical, being no experiment,
and the farmers are to be urged to
engage extensively in these lines
The club wants to see silo on every
farm in the county.
The next meeting will be held in
Odd Fellows hall Wednesday evening,
and will be the biggest booster meet
ing ever pulled off in Clearwater
county. There will be ice cream and
cake and coffee, and more discussion
along lines suggested in this article.
Every booster in the county is urged
to be present. The hall should be
packed. Turn out and show your inter-

is interested in the opening of a new
road that will enable the company to

Effort Now Being Made
To Open Road To Greer

At this time it is 10 miles from
Orofino to Greer by the nearest wagon
road. Yet Greer is only 8 or 81 miles
from Orofino up the Clearwater river.
Of this distance there is good wagon
road except for some two and half
miles. At present farmer cannot
drive from Greer to the county seat
and return the same day. There is
the canyon to climb and then back
down again to get to Orofino, and re-
peat to return. The proposed road
would be great benefit. 1t is needed
in order to enable doctors at the county
seat to reach the Greer country. 1t
is needed to serve the taxpayers who
have right to be in the closest pos
