Drinks With a Kick"

Kamiah Progress: There was but
little drunkenness on the Fourth and
no arrests were made. Of course
there were few fellows who carried
various kinds of temperance drinks
''on their hip such as sweet spirits
of nitre, wood alcohol, bitters, hair
vigor, perfumery, vanilla extract,
Jamaica ginger, horse liniment, etc.
An expert mixologist informs us
that when the above are mixed with
any of the various brands of drinks
now manufactured, which look and
tizz like beer, but contain no alcohol,
it makes drink with kick to it
like Missouri mule.
1t is also stated that some real old
time "licker" was discovered wan
dering aronud the prairie that day,
but most of it evaporated before il
got to Kamah.

Why Not Home Grown Seed?

Why not get in the game and raise
pedigreed garden and field seed here
at Orofino? We can produce as high
a grade of seed as any place in the
world. Why not do it? Why
import seed and thus send out of our
community every year many dollars
that might we'll be retained at home?
No place on earth will produce a
higher grade of seed, and we doubt if
there is place where an acre of land
will produce more pounds. Four years
ago the writer visited Idaho Falls and
saw ten acres of sweet peas that were
being raised for seed. This land was
being farmed by Japanese, who
employed number Of others of his
countrymen to look after the land.
At Rexberg hundreds of acres are de-
voted to the raising of pea seed. In
Bonner county the farmers are getting
into the seed business, and have or
ganized for business. There is room
for more, and our section should at
least produce enough for home con-
sumption.

Noted Film May be Exhibited Here.

Orotino people are to have an OPP
portunity to see one of the great
films of the day, THE Battle Cry of
Peace 1t has attracted the serious
attention of the people all over the
United States. 1t is said to be
call to arms against war. 1t shows
the true condition of the United
States, and how any one of the great
European powers could destroy New
York and any other of our coast
cities, land their armies and invade
us. 1t shows how helcless would be
my son and yours, unframed and
poorly equipped, if the day came
when they must go forth to repel an
invading force of trained and modern
ly equipped soldiers. Secretary of
War Garrison says. referring to this
wonderful film. that self -preserva-
tion is the first law of nation
neither wars, fires. nor disasters are
caused by precaution. Governor
Goldsboro of Maryland says: ''The
lesson taught by this picture is a
ringing reply to the talk of Bryan
and other pacifics. And Orofino can
have the privilege of seeing this
remarkable motion drama only if the
PEOPLE wake up and get together and
help Mr.. Miller bring it here.

Ahsahka Overseer Deserves Praise.

People who have recently driven
over the county road from Ahsahka
to Dent have informed the Republican
that Road Overseer Frank Surprise is
deserving of much credit for the most
excellent condition of that part of the
North Fork road in his district, a
matter of five or six miles. Sam
son Snyder drove up that road Sunday
and praised Mr.. Surprise for his good
work. The North Fork road from
Ahsahka to Dent is one of the most
beautiful drives in the world, and
will some day become famous for its
scenery. The road, much of it, was
very expensive, being cut into the
rocky bluffs, with the pure, clear
turbulent waters of the North Fork
river, with its swrling rapids, few
feet below the traveller. 1t ought tc
be called the Scenic Drive of Clear.

Cant Beat This Alfalfa.

The most noted alfalfa district in
the world could not show finer piece
of alfalfa than is now growing on the
side hill back of the state sanitarium,
between the orchards and the reser
voirs. 1t is the second crop, stand
ing about two feet high and SO thick
one could throw their coat on it with
out crushing it down. 1t is a most
eloquent testimonial to the possibil-
tiles of Orofino soil. This piece will
not be cut for another week, and it
might be worth while for Orofno
people to walk down there and see it,.

Moscow Has Great Machine.

Moscow Post: Reports to Idaho
National Harvester company from the
Arizona territory opened up to the
operation of the Idaho combine this
season for the first time are of the
most satisfactory kind to the manage
ment.
A telegram from Frank Gale, who
has been operating the machine ship
ped in May to w. H. and F. E. Car
penter of Florence, is to the effect
that he has just finished cutting 600
acres in period of 32 days. This
means an average daily cut of 10 acres,
and although not the largest cut for
one season, (William Weimer, kirch
of Mold having cut 723 acres in 1910,
it is probably a record for continuous
high average in SO large field.
Brought down to matter of dol
lars and cents, it means that these
Arizona owners have saved enough by
the use of the Idaho over the older
methods of harvesting to pay the en-
tire cost of the machine the first year
Of its operation and have in addition
some $500 to $400 surplus above the
machines cost.
The Idaho National Harvester com.
pany expects to put from so to 7E
machines in this Arizona territory
next year.

A Fine Program.

the program tonight will be along the

intimate study of bird life; another
on Siberia, showing large herds of
domestcated Reindeer. Of special
interest on the same program was
another reel showing the famous city
of Bridges, colored series that was
magnificent. Another was an an
alysis of human motion, a study in
physiologythat merited close atten-
tion. Then there was Col. Heezza

entertain and educate the boys ant

effort. The people ought to fill tht

in fire patrol duty for Uncle Sam.
They had to travel through old snow
from four to Is feet deep, and were
delayed by the destruction of two
bridges which they had to rebuild.

Getting Out of Debt.

Clearwater county is getting out of
debt. In two years the republicans
have not only paid the cost of govern
ment, including thousands of dollars
for road improvements, but have paid
off a lot of warrants issued for debts
incurred by the old board. The July
payment OF taxes will enable the
county treasurer to take up all out
standing 1915 Current Expense war
rants, totaling $500 Practically
all of the 1915 General Road, totaling
about $40, 900, will also be lquidated.

Saddle With a Record.

During the Civil war they were used

Illinois, and while they have seen
much service the saddle is stronger
than some of the modern makes.

A Boost For OrofinO.

The N P. section crew have been
removing all weeds near the branch
leading up to the cement property.
When asked if the company was going
to use this track one of the men said
that it was; that it was going to be
the main line to Missomla in the near
future; that heavy steel would re-
place the light rails now down, and
that Orofino would one of these days
be ''some town. And there may be
more truth than poetry in this.

More Butter and Eggs.

In spite of the satisfactory local
market for butter and eggs, at least
one merchant was compelled to ship
in two crates Saturday to supply the
local market. And with local butter
prices topping the market, it has been
impossible to get enough butter to be-
gin to fill the outside demands. John
Mix. of Noftsger' store, who recent
ly visited Spokane and there conferred
with parties who have contracts for
supplying some of the big boarding
houses of mines tributary to Spokane,
says that the big difficulty today is
that the farmers of Clearwater county
are not producing anything like
enough butter and eggs, and cites an
illustration TO justify his statement.
Mr.. Mix said:
81 asked for contract to supply
butter and eggs to just one boarding
house, and discovered that all the
butter and eggs in Clearwater county
would not supply the demand for
breakfast at one of the boarding
houses, market that could be sup
piled by Orofno farmers if they
were producing the goods. We had
to turn this contract down because the
butter and eggs are not to be had in
Clearwater county.
If the Orofno farmers, and by this
we mean the people living within &
trading radius Of Orofno. expect Orc.
tino merchants to get market fol
their butter and eggs they must co.
operate in this matter. Not only must
the farmer produce the quality of but
ter that the market can use, but there
must be quantity to make it possible
to take contracts and fill them.

OrOfinO Corn Is Great.

1t would be difficult to find coun-
try where better corn is growing than
at Orofno this season. At the state
sanitarium, where the early sowing
did not come up, second planting is
looking very promising, and will
make a creditable yield. Back OF
the Republican Office is piece of
Fodder corn that looks like it was
going to outrival the famous bean
stalk that Jack grew. If this corn
continues to extend itself skyward for
another sixty days it will reach the
rather surprising heighth of from
fourteen to sixteen feet, judging from
what the same kind Of corn did in
this section last season. Many farm
ers have taken time to look at this
piece of corn, which is of the giant
silo variety, making last year at
the Alteneder place yield estimated
as high as 35 tons per acre for ensil-
age. This was a conservative esti-
mate, at that. 1t shows what oul
soil is capable of producing when
given chance. Before planting we
gave the land thin dressing of Orc.
fino slaked lime, from the dump Of
the old lime plant. In addition tt
the corn we have sugar pumpkins
growing some twelve feet apart ovel
most of the ground, which will pro
