Win Organize Oranges.

w. W. Deal, Master of Idaho State
Grange. arrived in Orofinc Wednesday
evening and will spend month in
this and other north Idaho sections.
The Grange is non -partizan. its pur-
pose being to improve the conditions
of the agricultural masses. 1t works
for legislation, such as rural credits,
and maintains lobbies at the national
capital and the various state capitals.
1t is also social, and its organic
ations always include the farmers
wives and daughters. The grange
does not run stores or engage in busi-
ness, but promotes cooperative move
ments beneficial to the producers of
agricultural products. 1t is fifty
years old, and the only farmers
organization in the United States
that has survived. Mr.. Deal will
endeavor to organize number of
Oranges in this locality. He will
speak at Dent, Pittwood school house,
Fenton precinct at Grange hall. and
at Fraser. Other meetings will pro-
badly be held if the farmers show any
interest.

Auto Does Clever Stunt.

Automobiles are funny things.
Yesterday the big Chalmers, belong
ing to the Swank livery barn, took a
plunge down 25-foot embankment,
almost straight down, and did not tip
over. j. M. Oylear, who has recent
ly purchased the barn and equipment,
including the car, was driving and
had Clay Swank with him. The
accident happened at the top of the
little hill up Orofino creek just be-
yond the Mooers barn, the car leav-
ing the road and going over the bank
at the highest point. The embank-
ment in almost straight down, but the
track of the car is plain to the bot
tom. Mr.. Swank landed in the mid
die of the creek up to his waist in
the cold water, while Mr.. Oylear
staid with the wheel and came out un-
injured. The car suffered one wheel
torn off and sprunk axle.

NUMBER 6,
Still Has A Crouch.

The Elk River Sentinel has another
crouch. 1t can see nothing but
graft" and improper motives in
anything done in this end of Clear
water county. The Sentinel is un-
fair, prejudiced and unreasonable.
1t says:
The reason for bridge at Ahsahka
is made ctear in recent issue of the
Orotino papers, which says with
bridge at Ahsahka it would mean
the marketing at Orofno Of practic-
ally all the Cavendish and Teakean
crops now going to Lenore and Peck
Necessity compels the farmer to seek
bulk facilities. Orofino should pro-
vide them this summer. We should
join hands with the farmers, giving
whatever financial assistance neces-
sary, and bring business our way
The last sentence tells the tale:
Bring business our way and give
whatever financial assistance ncees-
sary so long as it can be charged
up to the helpless owners Of property
in the county. These farmers of
Cavendish and Teakean will naturally
load their crops at Ahsahka station.
They have no need to go further over
either free bridge or toll ferry to
Orofino, there load out and have the
grain hauled back again past Ahsahka
to market. The proposition is alb
surd on its face. If they can be in
duced by bridge on which they have
the toll charged to others to go to
Orofino and there buy groceries,
blacksmithing or something else it is
very nice for Orofino grocers or black
smiths or other business men-but
where do they get off who have to pay
for all this? Accommodations of
reasonable quality, circumstances con-
sidered, should be provided for traffic,
either in existence or reasonably sure
to become existent by the time the
accommodations are provided. On this
principal bridge at Ahsahka will
some day be needed; perhaps in
farmers of Teakean and Cavendish
have no large amount of wheel haul
and none at all that needs to cross the
North Fork. If some day volume
of traffic should develope or be in
sight the bridges or other accommo
dations needful should be furnished.
Does the board of county commits
sioners think it their duty to soak"
all the rest of the county for the pur-
pose of providing free lunches or free
bridges or green trading stamps or
any other premium to the public pur-
veyors of Orofino that outsiders may
thereby be induced to go out of their
way to patronize them?
They should put such questions up
to the people, either at the general
election or by mail vote of the tax
! payers now.

0rofino Teachers For Next Year.

At a meeting of the Orotino school
board Monday evening it was decided
to reorganize the school work. In
doing so the board will provide for a
Junior High School. The work of the
Junior High School will correspond
to that now given in the seventh.
eighth and ninth grades. The first
six grades will be handed practically
as they are at present. The Junior
and Senior High Schools will have a
single corps of teachers. The work
in the Senior High School will be
conducted as now but the Junior work
will be changed so as to be carried
much as the Senior High. 1t is
hoped, however, that aside from rec
itation, there may be supervised
study in the Junior High School.
The following teachers were
elected: Elementary grades, one to
siX-Gadys Holbrook, Isabel Brown,
May Peterson, Anna Martinson.
Junior and Senior High School Hulda
Anderson, Edna P. Jolliffe, Kathyrn

ating the citizens of the town parked
the school grounds. Today no towr

Commercial Club Held Annual Election.

The annual meeting of the Orofino
Commercial Club was held Monday
evening at the club rooms. The re-
ports of the officers showed a consi-
derable business done during the past
year, and the existence of the club is
shown to be of great value to the
community.
An amendment to the constitu-
tion was proposed changing the meet
ing night from the third Monday of
each month to the first Wednesday.
1t is thought there will be less of
other interests to conflict with the
club meetings by this change. The
Village Council will cooperate to
make it success.
A meeting will be called of the
ladies of the village to organize a
City Beautiful" Club. In this way
much can be done to make the city
more attractive and better place in
which to live.
The holding of the "Chautauqua
here in June will be vigorously sup
ported, as it is recognized that it will
be the greatest thing for this section
that has ever been held here in the
entertainment line.
A vigorous campaign will be waged
to promote every interest of Orofino
and of Clearwater County during the
current year.
The officers elected were, president,
F. E. Smith; vice pres, j. T. Mol

urer, A. l.. Theile; directors, A. E.

Road Too Expensive.

After an investigation of the pro-
posed wagon road from Arrow juno
tion up the Clearwater to connect
with the Clearwater county road, on
the proposed Lewiston Missoula wagon
road, the Nez Perce county surveyor
has reported against it on the ground
that it is impractical, the expense be-
ing prohibitive. The surveyor says
in his opinion much more practical
route may be found along the south
bank of the river, running from Lap
wal to Peck. This would serve the
purpoes and by one or two bridges
along the Clearwater would afford the
Fir Bluff and other points an outlet.
Until bridges can be afforded ferries
would serve the purpose.

OF Interest To Farmers.

There is to be conference in
Spokane Saturday to discuss methods
of handling the grain crop of the In
land Empire. Subjects proposed for
discussion are:
l. The sack outlook for 1916.
2. Will money be saved to the far
mers Of the Inland Empire by hand
ling grain in bulk?
8. What the farmer must do to
handle grain in bulk.
A. What the country warehouse
must do to handle grain in bulk.
S. What handling grain in bulk
means at terminal points and in ex-
port trade.
The purpose of this conference is
to bring the farmers of the Inland
Empire together to discuss the pres
ent high prices of grain sacks and the
question of whether the cost of sacks
this year justifies general turning
to the bulk handling of wheat and
other grain. If you are paying out
money for grain sacks and handling
them, you are vitality interested ir
this meeting and you are invited to be
present. Reduced rates on all rail
roads. Get receipt when you buy 8

Kamiah Won the Game.

The Kamiah ball team, one of the
best in north Idaho, defeated Orofino
on the local diamond Sunday by a
score of 13 to 4. 1t was one-sided
game, Kamiah playing much the
better game. In fact Kamiah, most
of whose players are Indians is in a
class that would make the Spokane
league team go its best to win.
And the Kamiah team is not only
clever as ball players, but more
gentlemanly ball team has never
visited Orofno. A week before
Kamiah played in Nez Perce, win
ming 9 to l. Speaking of that game
it was said: 1.-The game was fast and
we'll played but the superiority Of the
Kamiah team was decidedly marked all
through the contest. This des-
cribes the Orofino game.

ing, in cleaning up the unsightly
places and generally making the town
pleasanter and healthier place in
which to live. 1t is hoped that all
will enter into the spirit Of this
matter and make the club a hum
dinger.
