Orofino Corn Wins al ST. Paul

Orofino won honors at the st. Paul
Corn Show. l.. d. Snyder of Orofino,
being awarded one Of the premiums on
an exhibit of ten ears of White Dent.
1t is possible Mr. Snyder will win a
$50 silver cup, and is naturally quite
elated over his exhibit. Other Idaho
winners are: E. A. Hammack, Peck
J. NJ Woodward, Leland; &C TOP
les, Caldwell; w. j. Winslow, Green

L. Young, Nampa; Oliver Hill, Nam
pa.
The Snyder corn grew on thu. Holt
place on the west bank of the Clear
water rivre two miles below Orotino.
Mr.. Snyder is inclined to the opinion
that his ten-ear exhibit could have
been improved since i'll health ano
work made it impossible for him t.
devote much time to the selection OF
the ten ears. However it was gooe
corn and helps to advertise this section
of the state.

Railroad Men Are Busy

Continued damp weather is causing
railroad men along the Clearwater
branch of the N. P. no end of anxiety
and grief. Wednesday morning the
section foreman at Orotino was out at
q O'Clock on the gasoline speeder COW
ering every mile of his track. Above
Orofino he found many large rocks on
the track, some of them two feet in
diameter, and the utmost caution must
be exercised lest there be bad wreck
A little carelessness on the part of
the railroad employees might be fear
full. The local section men seem to
appreciate the Situation and are exer-
ting themselves to guard against dis
aster. There is really little danger
for passengers because the train crews
realize there is danger and are or
their guard. Wrecks are usually the
result of carelessness.
