Nature has showered blessings on
Orofno. No other town in Idaho,
probably no town on the Pacific
coast, has been so generously and
richly endowed by the Creator as has
our home town-Orofino, here in
Clearwater county.
Great rivers, pure and turbulent,
flow increasingly past our door, and
every minute of the day, summer and
winter, there flows away unused lat
ent power to turn million wheels Of
industrial enterprises.
For a hundred miles or more,
stretching away east to the Montana
state line, yet untouched, lies the
greatest body of White Pine timber
in the world. This vast virgin forest
invites industry. Besides White Pine
are vast quantities of cheaper varieties
of timber suitable for the manufac-
ture Of paper. Most of this timber
is still in the hands of Uncle Sam.
Much Of it is matured and ready for
market. This matured timber ought
to be utilized to meet present-day
needs of this country. 1t should be
utilized NOW to meet nation wide
shortage of paper. 1t lies in our back
yard, a latent mine of industrial
wealth, a Pandora box whose opening

waste no more energy knocking. Let
our energies be united and our efforts
devoted to boosting. Let us put Oro-
fino on the map
As we pointed out last week Oro-
fino has an immtn nSe deposit of ce-
ment material within sight of town.
At our door Nature has piled up
great mountains of one of the most
useful necessities of this age-Port-
land Cement Here it is touching
our village limits, a proven PROPOSE
tion that has already attracted the
attention of experts, and upon which
development work has been started.
1t lays here waiting development, and
development means big things for our
home town and all the country tribu-
tary.
We have unlimited lime deposits
Orofino lime is known far and wide
for its superior excellence, and the
market awaits the time when little
energy and few thousand dollars
will once more start this manufactur-
ing industry.
We have plenty of agricultural
land. We have unlimited areas of
grazing land, and no section produces
superior vegetables and fruits. We
are a favored section. Yet We are

not on the map. We are not adver-
tised as our resources warrant, and
our dev elopment is not what it should
be.
As charity begins at home. so does
progress and development Nobody
is going to do this for us. If we
would grow and prosper and enjoy the
fruits of development that will come
to Orotino when our water power, our
timber, our cement, our lime and our
agricultural resources are developed,
or partly developed. we must wake
up and face the fact that we must
do something for ourselves.
Remember that Pittsburg had
small beginning, and that Orofno ia
as big as Chicago was before Chicago
was as big as Orofino is.
Another thing about Orofino--it is
just as straight up here as at any
other place in the world.
Has it occurred to you that there is
any value in the pure water that
flows thru our town in such unlimited
quantities? How much do you sup
pose some quite important citities
would give us in money for our river?
And how much do we appreciate it?

BOOSTERETTES.

Be booster. If you don't like
this country, get out of it. You
haven't any right to knock because
you We got a crouch at somebody.
We are told that iron ore of fine
quality exists near Orofno, and that
these great ledges are high grade and
of wonderful proportions. Why not
talk about it?
Think positively and in time it
will become fixed habit. Learn to
look on the bright side of things.
Remember that opposition is stim-
ulant to good man. 1t develops
ability and strength, and makes us put
forth our best efforts.
There are plenty of men and women
who can tell Orofno all about the
value and Importance of systematic,
sane boosting, and who can urge the
value of community unity, but what
we what to know is how to perform
the miraculous stunt of converting
negative energy into positive force.
How are we to transform the profess
sional knocker into a booster? How
are we to transfer the negative energy
of our town to the right side of the
ledger, and give Orofino 100 per
cent. constructive energy? We asked
Sias, the Chautauqua booster man,
n. &, I'D ha oIy fal ha
not know. We have asked others, but
have never received solution. BE
patient, said one sage, .tfor in due
course of time they may die off. =
But that is too slow. However, this
is of small consequence. Orofino has
no more than the usual allotment for
a good town of our size. And besides
the knocker is as useful as boil
makes us appreciate life when we get
over it. The knocker makes the good
citizen spunk up and do his best, and
that is good thing.
AS long as one lives in town or a
county, it is only fair and decent that
they show some degree of loyalty.
There is always plenty of good things
one can say, and we ought to say these
things, or say nothing. Remember
that every time we run down our town
or discredit our county we are hurting
our own chances to succeed IN our
home town or our home county. II
pays to boost.
Our home merchants are doing the
best they can to serve the needs OF
this section. Your patronage of then
makes for better schools, biggel
churches, better roads, and increased
home prosperity. The home merehan
keeps his profits at home. invests hi
money in taxable property that help
keep up schools and roads for the ben
eft of all As II general proposition
it pays to patronize the home mer
chant.
There are millions of acres of sum
mer range for stock tributary to Orc
limo. Do we appreciate what thu
might be worth if we could conver
this raw material into beef? Is ther
any reason why Orofino should not eS
port many trainloads of fat steers
outside markets every fall2 Is ther
any reason why our lands should nc
be producing CROPS for silos and tn,
supplying greatly increased quant'tlt
of the finest of stock foods? Shoul
our farmers not be converting the
corn stalks into fat beef and hogs ar
mutton, utilizing to the best adVal
tage the resources Nature has blesst
us with? Why not convert corn fo'
der into real money at time whit
beef is highest and demand mo
brisk? Why not make the most
our resources and opportunities

disappears. Do you know of one
single individual who has knocked
Orofno who has not lost standing and
influence, and gradually lost power to
hinder the towns growth, or stop
legitimate progress?
Why Not Paper Mill at Orofino.
With the price of news print almost
prohibitive, and the supply for years
to come sure to be hard pressed to
meet demands, it would look like
there ought be some incentive for
capital to enter this field where raw
material is cheap and plentiful, and
engage in the manufacture of paper.
Clearwater county has untold guam
titles of raw materials out of which
news print and other cheaper grades
of paper may be manufactured. This
material is now worthless. We have
vast water power flowing away to the
ocean unused. We have good trans
portation facilities, and more in
sight. The world is crying for pa
per, while here in Clearwater county,
Idaho, we are suffering for something
to do, with enough timber to make
pulp for all the papers in the country
for years to come. We haven't the
figures, but it does not require statis-
tics to prove that Clearwater county
can deliver the goods for several
large paper manufacturing plants.
Some investigation has already
been made looking to paper mill
in this section, and the proposition
should not be permitted to lag.
Remember that Sias said: Il
know of no town where nature has
done so much, and where the people
have done so little. =
Now, having read this. what are
you going to do about it? Sit around.
suck your thumb, and growl. waiting
for somebody to discover Orofno, and
the fact that we have vast undeloped
forests and immense water power, all
that is required for paper manufac-
ture?
Or. will you get busy, talk to your
fellow citizens about it, and make
some effort to arouse interest at home
and abroad in this proposition
