You can raise the best beans on
earth in Clearwater county. Why
summer fallow?
The dairy COW, the silo and corn
will put Clearwater county in the
forefront for wealth, prosperity and
contentment. Get on the band
wagon.
Clearwater county has 40 per cent.
of all the timber in Idaho. It's
manufacture, which is now starting,
insures immense permanent home
markets for all the products of our
farms.
In the rush we forgot to mention
the "Orofinian' is not republican
paper, nor a democratic sheet, or a
socialist journal. This is Suffra-
gette newspaper We are for Votes
for Women and don t you forget it.
That is what is going to make this
the greatest paper on earth. Wait
till the European war is over and
watch our smoke.
Corn will eventually be TaE crop
in this section of Idaho. 1t is 1T
when it comes to putting money in
the farmers pocket.
The hog is the greatest mortgage
litter on earth. In fact he is the
only thing that can beat interest.
Hogs and corn-the Gold Dust twins
of prosperity. Put this combination on
your farm.

REDDY WILL COST $s2

Matt Reddy, shot while attempting
10 burglarize the house of julius Wit
tel on the night of Oct. 20 and taken
to the German hospital, Cleveland, the
following day, was discharged from
that institution Nov. IL, having been
confined there thirteen days. So far as
Reddy is concerned "13" may be re-
garded as a lucky number, as his hand
did not have to be amputated, as at
first was feared, but on the contrary
is now as good as ever, excepting an
ugly scar. But the ones who will fin
ally have to settle the hospital and op-
orators bill "13" won't appear in any
other light than unlucky.
The county commissioners received
bill of $32 for hospital services and
one from DR.. H. A. Becker for $50 for
operating upon Reddy's wrist, $82 in
all. Both bills were rejected on the
ground that Reddy was not resident
of this county. However, they took
the matter up with the trustees of
Solon township, which Reddy claimed
as his home and where his parents re-
side, with the result that the trustees
evince willingness to accept the bills
providing they can determine that Rec
dy is legal resident of their town
ship, which they stated might take
few days or week to ascertain.

WILL n. 0. R. R.
Be electrified?

There has been considerable talk
lately that Cleveland & Southwestern
influences have been working against
the proposed new Cleveland & Ohio
Central Electric line because of COM
petition it would bring in going to
Cleveland. The statement was made
one day last week that Col. c. V. Hard
had told Sharon Center citizens that
the Cleveland & Southwestern COM
pany would electrifys the Northern
Ohio railroad from Medina to Sharon
Center, which would give the. latter
town an outlet such as it desires.
When asked about this Friday Col.
Hard stated that he knew nothing of
such proposition being made, altho'
he had heard for several years of talk
of electrifying the Northern Ohio.

day night, but in which fortunately no
one was seriously injured. A party
Of four Cleveland men while driving
rapidly north ran into the auto Of Eli
Gardner of Brunswick who was going
in the opposite direction, smashing his
car, a new one, to the estimated ex-
pense of $35. While the men were
gathering themselves together after
the collision another car came along
and ran headlong into the Cleveland
car, smashing it to splinters. A call
was sent in to Sheriff Gehman that
the Cleveland party were drunk and
he hastened to Brunswick. He de-
clares they were not drunk, but EVIL
dently had had some liquor. No ar
rests were made and the men evinced
disposition to settle with Gardner.

new HEADQUARTERS
FOR WINYAH CLUB

The Winyah club of Medina is made
up of about dozen of the towns
young men, who know just what they
want and how and when to get it.
For the vast three years they have
maintained a suite of rooms in the
Princess theater block, with all the
:onveniences and appurtenances of a
:ull-fedged club room. But they have
needed more room to carry out pre-
oentious plans had in view for some
time and last Friday night they Sc
cured lease on the Alden homestead
on the north side Of the public square.
Workmen began this week to remodel
the interior and install new plumbing
and the club aim to be in their new
quarters by the first of next month.
The west wing of the house will be
converted into a ball room, where
wives and sweethearts of the Winyah
boys may enjoy entertainment from
time to time. The new club house
will also be fitted out with pool and
billiard tables, a cuisine department
music and reading rooms and indeed
everything that goes to make up a
first-rate club house. The boys de-
clare that when completed they will
have a club house unequalled by any
other club in town the size of Medi'
ma in the state.
The local Masonic lodge recently
came into possession of the Alden prof.
erty, upon which site they ultimatel!
will erect a temple. But as it will b.

Masons will be consummated, the Win

C. c. CHEENY STILL
MAYOR OF LEROY

c. C. Cheeny, who has been Leroy's
mayor ever since it became an incor-
porated village four years ago, is still
that villages chief executive, despite
the fact that the judges at the recent
election in Leroy declared his oppon-
ent, E. j. Edwards, legally elected by
a majority of five votes.
Nine ballots that bore the name Of
Cheeny We're admittedly not counted
because the voters had neglected to
put an x before the name after going
to the trouble to write the latter in.
On the alleged ground that the ballots
were valid and should have been
counted, Mayor Cheeny put his case
in the hands of Attorney VanEpp to
be contested. The case was filed in
probate court and Judge Kennan call
ed the case for Wednesday, appointing
A. D. Aylard, F. M. Plank of Medina,
and J. B. Hillisrd of Wadsworth as
iurymen. At the trial Wednesday
only two witnesses were called-J. E.
Shaw and 0. E. Daniels, the former
clerk and the latter judge of the Le-
Troy election. Frank Heath represent
ed Edwards and made the most posi-
BILE out of a clearly one-sided case. The
ballots were recounted in open court
and the jury were unanimous in theil
verGict after celebrating about fifteer
minutes. A surprising discovery o1
the recount was that ten ballots fol
Cheeny had been thrown out insteat
of nine.

The PASSING OF
CRAS. H. K|MBALL

In the passing of Charles Henry
Kimball, notice of whose death early
last Friday appeared IN our issue of
the same morning, Medina has lost one
of its Oldest residents and prominent
citizens and a man who was the pos
SCISSOR of a large circle of friends.
Mr.. Kimball was born in Benton,
Grafton county, N. H., June 9, 1884,
and was the last one of his fathers
family of nine children to pass to the
beyond. He came to Medina in 1855.
His brother, Francis D. Kimball, was
a practicing attorney here at the time
in the well-known firm of Garfield &
Kimball. After the death of his
brother, Charles spent two years in
Minnesota, after which he returned to
Medina, where he continued to reside
until his death. December "a, 1860,
he was married to Elizabeth Rorke Of
York township, to whom were born
three children-Mrs. D. M. Byam of
Elyria, Mrs. w. J. Hawthorne, who
died about four years ago, and Miss
Mary L. Kimball of Medina, The wife
and mother died three years ago, af-
ter companionship with her husband
of over fifty years.
The deceased was veteran of the
civil war, having enlisted in the 103d
regiment, O. v. l., in August, 1862,
and serving throughout the balance of
the strife. He had been in i'll health
since last January, tho he had been
able to walk to town up to the middle
of the summer, when he became too
enfeebled even for so short a walk.
For more than twenty years Mr..
Kimball had been identified with the
Medina postofice, four years of which
time he was postmaster, during the
Harrison administration, from 1891 to
1895. He was Of decidedly optimis-
tic turn Of mind, which disposition die
not desert him even in the last months
Of his life, which we're dimmed by ill.
ness and infrmity.
Funeral services were held from st
Paul's church Sunday afternoon al
2:SO o'clock, conducted by Rev. VIM. v
Edwards, the rector, Burial wa.
made in Spring Grove cemetery.

P. 0. At BURBANK
LOOTED BY YEGGS

Working so quietly that no one
heard them, yeggs blew the safe in
the postofice at Burbank some time
during Tuesday night, gutted it Of
all valuables and made clean get
away. Postmaster Malcolm says that
at least $3.50 in cash, stamps, and val
uable papers were taken and prob
ably would exceed that amount. The
robbery was not discovered until very
shortly before 6 o'clock Wednesday
morning when Postmaster Austin N.
Malcolm opened up the postoffice and
saw the sife, with the door off, prac-
tically blown to pieces.
The yeggs tried the front door first
in an effort to get into the postoffice.
Not being able to force it, they tried
the rear door, and failed to open il
also. They then took out the rear
window, sash and all, and gained an
entrance in this way, Tools stoler
from the blacksmith shop of Charles
Schaad and from an Erie section house
were used in blowing the safe anC
we're found on the floor of the postof
flee Wednesday.
Postal inspectors from Cincinnati
reached Burbank Thursday and tool
charge of the case. So far no clew'
have been discovered.

subjects directly or indirectly con-
nected with the awful event which was
to transpire the following decade. Sew
eral postal cards bearing date in the
'4Os were also found, a peculiar fea-
ture being the odd looking govern
ment stamp affixed to each one.
Turning over two stone slabs which
for many years had served as door
steps, they were found to have been
originally tomb stones. One bore the
name of Emily Alcott, wife Of Phin-
cas- Alcott, aged 3S years, and gave
April /, 1874, as the date other death
At the base of the slab was inscribed
stanza of poetry, but so nearly ef-
faced as to be undecipherable. The
other slab read, "In memory of Amos
B., son Of Addison and Elmira Alcott
who died Oct. 16, 1912, aged 8 years
/ month and IA days" Then followed
these lines Of poetry:
"My parents kind ! leave behind,
bid you each adieu;
And when you are called to pass th'
vale,
will be with all Of YOU"
Mrs. Mary Nettleton, from WHOM
the old homestead wss recently pur
chased, was a daughter Of Phineas AL
colt, by ia second marriage, and not b,
the Emily Alcott noted above.

O. X. WATER SAMPLES

Supt. F. L. Rollins of the water
works received a letter Monday from
the State Board of Health with ref
erence to samples of drinking water
recently sent to the state department
for analysis. The letter states that
two samples showed the presence of
pollution and were of unsatisfactory
quality, but that other samples, rep
resenting the water after treatment,
gave satisfactory results and indicat-
ed that the water now furnished to
consumers is safe for drinking pur-
poses.

VEN|SON Dinner
GIVEN TO FRIENDS

A very enjoyable as well as unique at
fair was the venison dinner given by
H. G. Rowe to about twenty friends
Tuesday night at the Union hotel. The
venison was from the big buck Mr..
Rowe shot recently in the woods of
Maine and it was served in manner
which reflects much credit upon those
to whom was entrusted its prepara-
ton. The diners were seated by the
host promptly at $50. Mr.. Rowe
and Blake Mcdowell, seated respect
lively at each end of the long table,
carved the venison, while two pretty
young ladies lost no time in convey
ing the generously laden plates to the
hungry visitors.
All went the limit in eating, two be-
ing openly charged with having ex-
ceeded the limit when it was discover
ed that from their position at the CEN
ter of the table their plates were ro-
tating with remarkable regularity,
first to one end of the table, then the
other. But no one could blame them,
as a venison dinner is so rare func-
ton in Medina that one is justified in
corraling all he can get his hands on,
and the writer expects to have "sOur
grapes" hurled at him for telling of
this, because of his own disadvanta-
geous position at the table.
Mr.. Rowe performed the duty Of
toastmaster and by motion of DR.. C.
D. Freeman Mr.. Claude Hatch was
elected temporary chairman of the
meeting. The latter called on var
ious ones for brief remarks, which
brought out some very pithy senti-
ments and rare bits of wit and humor.
Following the after-dinner talks, the
question of organizing an association
whose mission shall be the protection
of fish and game in this county was
taken up and generally discussed, with
the result that an organization was
perfected the same evening. By un-
animous vote the following officers
were elected: president, DR.. C. Free
man; secretary and treasurer, H. G.
Rowe. 1t was decided that the pres
( ident and secretary should appoint
1 two men from each township in the
t county to represent their respective
D townships in the matter of securing
new members to the association and
0 to superintend the stocking of streams
e. with fish from the state hatcheries,
which, according to Representative P
t Shank, who was present, will undoubt-
: edly be- forthcoming, now that an or
n ganizations has. been perfected. ,7@rs5

r is The Medina County Fish and Game

k gible to membership. A membership
fee of fifty cents was assessed an,

cents, there being no dues for the frs
10 year.
Before adjourning, rising vote o
- thanks was rendered Mr.. Rowe for tn
~ y, thoughtful and generous remembrance
