OUR HOME TOWN.

Orofino has enough undeveloped
natural resources to make live city
of several thousand. Some day our
lime, our cement, our water power
and our timber will be developed,
and that development will make this
business center of considerable i'm
portance. Our cement alone will
afford employment for at least 200
men, and make big tonnage for the
railroads. This cement deposit,
placed here by Nature, cannot be
taken from US. Nor will 80 valuable
a deposit of cement, in an age of
cement, be long overlooked and neg
lected.
Our lime deposit. while of less
magnitude, is of sufficient size and
value to warrant its development,
and one Of these days somebody OF
some company is going to operate the
Orofino plant. Here will be tonnage
for the railroad, employment for
labor, business for our merchants,
and market for local fuel.
Tributary to Orofno is undevelop-
ed state and railroad lands, to be had
on long, easy terms, at low interest
rates, ideal land for stock raising,
and rich for agricultural purpose
when cleared. Here is opportunity
for Industrious home builders who
want an opportunity to get start in
the world. Here is unlimited tribu
tary stock range.
The livestock industry took on con
siderable activity during 1916; it will
show greater proportions the coming
year. 1t has only begun. A few
carloads shipped this year ought t,
become as many trainloads two year.
hence.
Orofino has, as we have said,
good future. Our town and ou
cour ty reed publicity. Our peopl,
must come to appreciate the import
ance of community teamwork; W,
must give our town and our count,
healthy, sane publicity, and by
spirit of fairness attract capital t.

NEWSPAPERS MAKE MISTAKES.

Sometimes newspaper gets balled
up on the facts in reporting local
news. But that is nothing surpris-
ing. Let the public give thanks that
the editor comes as near the truth as
he generally does, and makes as few
errors in reporting news. The editor
must to a great extent rely upon
rumor for a great deal of the local
news. AS far as time and opportun-
ity will permit the newspaper man
runs down the rumors and verifies
them, giving the public the news,
generally. about as accurately as it can
be given. But humanity is full OF
error, prejudices, motives, whims,
warped judgment and cussedness, and
these all enter into the matter of
gathering news. People don't all see
things alike, and with the best of in
tent.ons the facts may be given sub
stantially correct, but with a little
different coloring than another would
give them. Then there is somebody
sore, the editor gets roasted, and the
paper cussed and discussed. We be-
lieve the average newspaper wants to
tell the truth, and does. But as long
as man is prone to err, and the news.
paper man has to depeand somewhat
on others for facts, there will be ar
occasional ''bull.' OF course, re.
member that this does not refer te
our paper. We never make mistakes
We are talking about other news.

Here's to our erring brothers, the
poor cusses. May they never grow

otherwise used the prune as q symbol
Of insanity. We made all manner Of
fun Of this most excellent article Of

times less, and were in disrepute
generally. In fact prunes were a
standing joke, and suffered because
people insisted on making fun of a
really splendid article Of diet. But
today, 1916, where is the humble
prune? Who of US can recall just
how prune tastes, and remember its

Free trade on sugar from Cuba OF

Free trade on sugar from Cuba or
the Philippines, means that the
American consumer is contributing the
sum total of the tariff which goes to
swell the profits of the sugar barons.
They told us the tariff robbed
the consumer, and that free trade
would make cheap sugar. We put
sugar from Cuba ON the free list ana
sugar went higher. What we did
was to make the sugar trust a pres
ent of the millions the tariff would
have made them pay into our govern
ment treasury towards the cost of our
government. The trusts got the ben
eft and the people got higher sugar.

IDAHO REPUBLICAN? WHEN?

LIN yOA AAAAA~e SAAS A~s~sAO
Post, happen to ask yourself how often
Idaho has gone republican in presi-
Dental years since her admission into
the union?
Run over the record. The electoral
vote of this state has been cast as
follows:
1892 for Weaver, Populist.
1896 for Bryan, Democrat.
1900 for Bryan, Democrat.
1904 for Roosevelt, Republican.
1903 for Taft, Republican.
1912 for Wilson, Democrat.
1916 for Wilson, Democrat.
Twice out Of seven times Idaho
has gone Republican! Isn't it about
time to stop talking of the Gem Of
the Mountains as rock-ribbed Re-
publican state?
There is this consolation for Idaho
Republicans, too, that altho Idaho
was swept by Bryan and free silver
the state swung back into the Repub
lican column with a decided swing
when the free silver furore passet
over.
Is it too much to expect history tt
repeat itself here again? Is it un
reasonable to expect Idaho to land OF
solid political ground again afte
Wilson'S personal popularity ceases
to be factor?
Even today Idaho registers her ad
herence to Republican national prin
ciples and policies by electing Burton
l.. French and Addison 7. Smith t,
represent her in congress, and does i
with good majorities.

FLOUR ALMOST TOUCHES
HIGH CIVIL WAR PRICES
Rising Tendency of Food Costs
Due to Crop Shortage.

Washington, Oct. s. Marked increase
in the cost Of living is shown in the
rising tendency OF prices OF foodstuffs
on October 1, reports of which are just
being received at the Department of
Agriculture from the principal markets
of the country.
Flour is selling at prices higher than
at any time since the Civil War, due
principally to the shortage of the
wheat crop this year. The cost OF po-
tatoes has also mounted. because the
crop is short. Meat prices continue to
rise with prices being paid producers
of meat animals showing almost "a per
cent advance over what was paid n
year ago. Butter, eggs and cheese all
are selling at higher prices for this
time of the year than they were last
year, and beans show an increase of
more than 70 per cent over a year ago,
because of the short crop. Onions are
more than 30 per cent higher and cab
bsges more than 40 per cent higher.
Prices paid to producers of farm
products increased 9.3 per cent during
August.
Advices from Chicago yesterday re-
ported further rise of ten cents a
barrel in the price of bakers -four
the third advance in three weeks. That
grade is now selling at sS75 a barrel,
against s535 barrel year ago.
An Associated Press dispatch from
San Francisco stated that prices OF
cane sugar there had registered
another advance. the new quotations
being $40 per hundred pounds whole
sale and $3.50 retail.

Jersey STATIONS
RECEIVE NO MILK
Whole Dairy Country Be-
tween MiddletoWn and
Newton, N. j., Idle.

From q stan Correspondent Of TIE Trbun.l
Newton, n. j., Oct. 3.-Only one of
the eighteen milk receiving stations
which chain through the dairy country
between Middletown. y. Y, and this
place did any business at all to-day
Four eight-gallon cans were delivered
at the plant Of the Diamond Dairy
Company in Hamburg, y. j., after a
loyal farmer had fought his way
through a Gordon of league pickets.
Ten of the eighteen stations under
normal conditions ship 100000 quarts
Of milk to New York City daily. The
total shipment from these large plants
TO day was ,440 quarts, and of this all
but 100 quarts were condemned.
X. W. Thorn, who operates the re-
ceiving station at Westtown, n. Y, and
has d pasteurization plant there, has
always been in sympathy with the
dairymen. for whom he acts as middle
man in dealing with the New York dis
tributers. Although the milk strike
had made his own plant idle, he offered
tonight to sell his pasteurization plant
TO the league for practically cost that
it might have another weapon with
which to fight the big companies.
No Milk for Big Borden Plant.
Accompanied by The Tribune corrc-
spondent, Milk Inspector Louis Tolins
made the trip from Middletown TO New
ton to-day, inspecting each Of the sta
tions. The largest Of them the Bor-
den plant at Middletown, which nor
mally handles 500 eight-gsllon cans
daily-received no milk and shipped
none, the inspector learned.
At Slate Hill, n. Y, the Glover
Farms people, ordinarily shipping 400
eirht-gallon cans each day, shipped
only eight-and these had been stored
over. The Borden plant at Johnson,
n. Y. normally handling 400 had none
TO send to the city.

ing Of the directors Of the Borden COM
pany to listen TO Mr.. Dillon's report of

Here's our position in regard to Mr..
Dillon and the Dairymen's League"
said Mr.. Hallock. Our legal depart
ment advises us that under the Dom
nelly law we cannot legally enter into
agreement with any one except the in
Gividual farmer to regulate the price
paid for milk. Our purchasing agents
are the local superintendent at the
Borden plants throughout the state"
Mr. Hallock pointed out that the
:217 a hundred pounds for 3.9 per

farmers for October by the Borden
company figures out 4G6 cents quart.

HOSPITALS FEEL
NO MILK FAMINE
Hotels, with Fair Supply,
Begin to Tap Their
Reserve Sources.

The milk famine has thus far failed
to affect seriously either the big hotels
and restaurants of the city or the baby
hospitals, where milk is essential to
life.
The Jewish Maternity Hospital, at
go East Broadway, is perhaps in the
most hazardous situation, since it gets
its milk from one of the smaller deal
ers. He was able to deliver the amount
of milk for which he was under con-
tract yesterday, but informed hospital
directors that his own supply might be
so seriously cut he would be unable 20
make any deliveries at all later on.
At the New York Founding Hospital,
Third Avenue and Sixty-eighth Street,
where nothing but regular supply of
milk each day stands between 800
babies and starvation, there is greater
hope for an uninterrupted supply.
The hospital gets all its milk from
one Of the larger distributors. the Off
GERS of which have already assured the
hospitals directors that their needs
will be put before those of all other
customers. The Babies Hospital. 1875
East ffty-ffth Street, has received
similar assurance of normal delivery
by another big distributor.
The larger hotels of the city yester-
day began to draw their milk and cream
from sources which they are not re-
CURED to tap under normal clrcum-
stances. Many of the hostleres are
protected in their supply of milk by
yearly contracts with distributors, and
because Of the quantity they use are
favored customers. The McAlpin and
the Claridge, however, are among the
hotels that are unwilling to depend on
their regular milk dealers for their
supply. Both yesterday commenced to
get milk from DR.. II. b. McAlpins farm
in New Jersey and from two big Long
Island diaries The Waldorf reported

Those gay Gothamites who find pleas

Fisher said that the Shuberts have
discontinued the former 90 cents admis-

This alleged arbitrary conduct is
going TO cost the corporation 81 900 a
