Fact Number One.

Orofino must realize as it never has
before that it has been endowed by
nature with wonderful advantages.
Here is the material out of which
a united people with little energy
may build permanent and lasting
prosperity. Here are the materials
out of which to construct the most
beautiful homes in Idaho. We have
the soil, climate, water in abundance,
and surroundings that were repeated
ly said to challenge any place on
earth. Mr.. Sias, the community
development man, told us these
things and if we are wise We will make
use of his advice. We will take
more pride in our town; we will &c
to work at once for better lawns,
more flowers, more paint, better
sidewalks, cleaner streets and alleys.
we will be better boosters. We will
quit knocking. We will unite for
every thing that will make Orofino
a better, prettier and buster town.
This is fact No. l: ''No community
on earth has been more richly en-.
dowed by nature than Oroino; in nc
town have the people done SO little fol
themselves. Let US drive this fact
home.

vital because they had to do with the
greatest question that has ever de-
manded the attention of the human
race. Mr.. Frankie presented the
Bible not from the viewpoint of the
preacher, not from any denominations
al viewpoint, but from the viewpoint
of scholar, and so logical and con-
vincing and unanswerable is his logic
and conclusions that he sweeps the
arguments of critics and the object
ions of doubters aside, elevating the
Bible to place far above all other
books. Mr.. Frankie enables, if you
please, the very atmosphere of this
book, and presents it to his audience
as the best in history, in poetry, log
ic, law, literature and vocabulary.
He traced the Bible through the past
centuries. showing how it had
triumphed over the attacks of all
critics and all enemies. He showed
its unity. its harmony with science,
its wonderful structure, and in the
test of comparison made it tower
over all other books like heaven
above the sea.
Success Where You Are,' was
the subject of another lecture by Mrs.
Harriette Gum Robertson Monday
afternoon. 1t may have been lacking
in the fire of Murdock, it may have
been less scholarly than the lectures
of DR.. Boyl and Mr.. Frankie, and
less funny than Jones, but it was
good. 1t was full of hope for the
discouraged, full of love for the un-
fortunate, full of sympathy for the
children. 1t enobled home, made OF
the daily routine of housework labor
of love, and impressed on the audi
ence the great and eternal truth that
service to others is the highest mis-
sion under the canopy of Heaven.

Chautau qua United the People.

Laying aside the educational and
social and entertainment value of the
Chautauqua let us not overlook the
fact that our people were brought to-
gether in common purpose, for
common end, and having united and
made the Chautauqua success, will
reap benefit that will bring forth
abundantly in the months that follow.
We got together, and we worked
together, and we found out after all
the other fellow isn't all bad; that
we are neighbors and friends, and
are interested in the upbuilding of
this community. The Chautauqua
did this. and if that isn't worth all
this thing has cost in money and
effort then we do not realize what
unity and good fellowship means.
We owe much to Miss Holcomb,
junior supervisor, who had charge of
the children, and entertained US Wed
nesday afternoon, and to R. R. Ellin-
wood, superintendent, who was with
us during the entire week. These
people did their work admirably, and
made host of friends in Orofino.
May they come back in 1917. Con-
cluding let us express the appreci-
alton of Orofno to the neighboring
newspapers and neighboring COM
munities who so loyalty contributed
to the Chautauqua. We could not
have succeeded without them. Also
let us not forget that it was impos-
sible for the superintendent to public
ly thank all who helped to make the
Chautauqua a success. But their
efforts were apDreciated

that the Republican is rotten this

accepted as satisfactory. We are sure

congress was severe. He offended the
sensibilities of many of his hearers,
and some refuse to accept his estimate
of the men who make up our House
and Senate. They do not believe
it is fair when he says that our con-
gressmen spend their time, a lot of it,
distributing garden seeds and other
equally trivial things. 1t has been
pointed out that Mr.. Murdock is doing
his country grave wrong by sowing
this sort of seed in the minds of the
people.

II Know of No Community Where Nature Has Done So Much
And the People Little as Right Here at Orono "-Sas

Of virgin forest, and said that in all
his life he had never seen a place
where nature had done so much for a
town and where the people had done
so little for themselves. The Repub-
lican has repeatedly said this same
thing. The people, our pioneers dis
covered this years before most of US
came to Orofino. But wasn't it fine,
and didn't it do US good to have a
big, broad-minded, informed commu-
nifty builder, man who has trayeled
all over the United States and knows,
tell it to us? 1t will give us faith in
ourselves, and renew our faith and
confidence in our town; it will make
us bold to face the future. certain that
united effort, united endeavor, and
a judicous bit of boosting will be
worth while. Sias, in other words,
stuck pin into Orofino and made us
sit up and take stock of ourselves.
He has set us to thinking, and LETT our
community richer for his having been
with us.
Has it been worth 81 cents per cit
izens to have Sias with US? Yes,
many, many times. We believe Sias
alone was worth to Orofino all the
time, energy and money our Chautau-
qua cost this community.
We have mentioned Mr.. Sias at
length, not because he is better than
the other talent, but because Orofno
needed Sias. If there ever was a
community that needed waking up for
community development, needed to
unite for it's own good, that town is
Orofino, and for that reason we have
reviewed Sias. We want some Of his
suggestions to stick.

ment. He came up to the advertise

ence spellbound as he related his ex.
periences in the trenches. His con.
clousions, his predictions that oul
country is on the verge of terrible
war with coalation of European
powers, threw tremor of fear anC
dread over his audience. People
asked: "Can it be?" His appea

turers say, we must admit that it is
proper to have all sides presented.
Some may have objections to Victor
Murdoch because he is for prepared
ness. But who would not feel that it
was entirely proper to have that side
of the quetsion presented?
The evening lecture by Mr.. Fisher
was also plea for peace, and was
not popular. His colored views of
America were wonderful. the finest
ever seen by any of the audience, and
delighted the people. Inspiring to a
superlative degree, the magnificent
scenery of our country thrilled and
entranced. To see these pictures is
to have ones love for country inten-
sified. From a purely educational
standpoint the Fisher pictures are of
unquesitoned merit, combining enter
talnment with their educational value.
But the lecture part of this program
would have pleased many better had
it been less fowery. less Socialistic,
less anti-preparedness. The illus
trated lecture, "The Isles Of Peace, "
by f. j. Halton Wednesday evening
was a fitting close to week of big
things in the Chautauqua. 1t was a
beautiful series of pictures, and the
people will long remember them.

Orofino's first Chautauqua is now
history. The joys of anticipation
have given way for the pleasures of
realization, and we may we'll inquire ::
''Was it worth while?''
J Let us see. Did it not entertain
and instruct and educate? Did it not
bring hope and encouragement and
noble thoughts to our community?
Not that the entire program was just
what all of us may have hoped for,
or, to state it another way, that all
OF us agreed always with all the lee
turers. Not that, for who of US did
not at times, many times, have our
corns of prejudice, our bunions of
personal opinion, and our pet ideas,
hobbies and theories rudely stepped
on? DR.. Sias, the town and commun-
ity development man, made us
squirm many times, and made some of
US angry, and perhaps was too severe
and not altos ether warranted in his
criticism Of our public school build
ings, but in the big broad sense, looking
at it from tie viewpoint of modern
educational demands, and from the
standpoint of our boys and girls who
ought to have as good opportunities as
the boys and girls of other towns,
perhaps Sias was right. He was not
thinking of our pocketbooks so much
as he was thinking Of what every
community needs. He was thinking
OF our cramped quarters, of our lack
OF gymnasium, of our lack of proper
quarters for manual training, domes-
tic science, agricultural training ia
cilities, and others. He saw our
beautiful river, our exceptional natur-
al advantages in the way of drainage,
and town Of civilized beings without
a sewer system of any kind. He saw
Orofino creek flowing through the
town, and our larger river surging
past our door, and was amazed that
our town had not utilized this cheap
and abundant water for irrigation pur-
poses, and that our citizens, most OF
them, were livlrg in homes without
lawns, shrubbery, flowers, ornamental
trees, or other things of beauty. He
saw our rotten board walks, our worlC
OF weeds, and thinking of what We
ight have with little effort, told us
plainly that Orofino ought to wake uE
and be the kind of a town it coult
be. He saw our mountains of linz
and cement rock, our vast water pow

A Splendid Address.

The address Wednesday afternoon
in the Chautauqua tent by Attorney
Chas. Mcdonnell of Lewiston, on the
Mexican war situation was one of the
most able, balanced and benificial con-
tributions presented in this community
during the Chautauqua. 1t was
splendid appeal to the patriotism of
our men and women, and touched the
vital issues of the day in way that
set our people to thinking seriously.
1t was review of the entire Mexican
controversy, and an appeal for prompt
support of our country in an hour of
peril. The speaker said our govern
ment had exhausted every resource to
avoid war; that we had gone beyond
all reason in trying to prevent it;
that it was being forced on US, and
that We could not escape the issue
without sacrificing our honor and self
respect. He told of the ravages on
American life and property by Mex
lean bandits, and said it was plain

Call for Men.

Facing crisis, on the verge of
wan in the defense of our national
honor, the United States is rushing
troops to the Mexican border. From
the president comes an appeal to
Idaho to hurry every available man
to the front. So urgent is the need
that the government is not stopping
to give the usual physical examin-
alton. Mexico has already fired on
American troops, and vast army is
being massed by Mexico ready to
strike. Americans have been mur-
dered; Mexican bandits will, unless
the United States can stop this mur-
der by force, continue to slaughter
our people and destroy their property.
A condition of anarchy reigns across
the Rio Grande. The United States
has come to the place where it can no
longer escape the responsibility; it
cannot avoid war without the loss of
honor and the respect of the civilized
world.
Facing a condition, there is no time
to quibble. If mistakes have beer
made this is no occasion to waste
time quarreling over them. Tomor-
rev may see the war claiming its toll

the 1916 Chautauqua has past into
history. If it was not worth while to
hear this music then it is not worth
while for God to fashion rose, glad

ren's laughter. Who can measure
these things with dollar sign? Who
can measure a Chautauqua, with its
Gullotta and Morvilius by the money
we spent to bring it to our people?
We need not continue. Every
musical attraction was worth while
and all were enjoyed. 1t was feast

dwarfed indeed is that being who was
not enriched and blessed and broadened
by the music.

Fred Choate of Teakean was one of
the first to sign the 1917 contract,
and Chas. Portfors of Weippe was
not far behind. From every section
of the country came farmers who
signed for next year. and without any
effort the trick was turned. The
people have awakened to the fact
that this is not Orotino's Chautauqua,
but their Cautauqua, and that it is
something worth while. Watch the
people pour into Orofino next June.

We can describe lecture; we can in
way convey to the reader some of

music! Who can put in words the
emotions that thrill and enrapture the
human soul when Nine. Fay Nor
vilius, accompanied by the Royal
Hungarian Orchestra, standing be-
meath the silken folds of Old Glory,
sang the Star Spangled Banner? Who
can describe the silvery sweetness of
Gullotta's violin? AS this master
hand, with touch as delicate as the
bloom of an Easter lilly, piled the
bow to his violin, and the wonderful
music, sometimes faint, sometimes
filling the big tent with its volume,
