OrOfinO School Has Fine Basket Ball Team.

Orofno has great basket ball
team, and the people are beginning
to appreciate this fact The games
are drawing packed houses, and the
way the crowd roots is splendid.
Try game. Sure cure for blues.
Saturday evening the locals met
the boys and girls from the Kendrick
high school, winning both games by
large scores, and yet there was so
much ginger in the youngsters from
Kendrick that they fought gamely,
and made an interesting contest. The
early part of the girls game was
rather slow, due to the Alphonso-
CASTOR tender heartedness of the
young ladies', who just didn't have
the heart to be rude. AS the same
progressed both teams speeded up, and
before it closed mussed one another
up quite a bit. Orofino was better
in team work, also in basket shoot
ing, which is about all there is to
the game, and won the first half to
2. In the second half the visitors
started to mix things from the whis-
tie, but slackened the pace the last
few minutes while Orofino kept at it
and made the score II to in their
favor.

Councilman HoImberg a Disturbing Factor

Clearwater Republican shall demand
a monopoly or nothing. Nor is this
all. The Clearwater Republican. to
be consistent, should hereafter support
no republican who will not monopo-
lize county business for friends of the
Republican.
And who can rise up and object
when business men place a premium,
yes, force such policy, on the Re-
publican when it pursues any other
policy?
Councilman Frank Jones did the
right thing. He asked the council to
be fair; to pursue policy that
would encourage harmony in Orofino.
And the fair-minded citizens will
approve his stand, and commend him
for his action.
1t was said by some of the council,
looking for an excuse for their action,
that the Republican has the county
work. Granted, but the county is a
purely party matter while the village
election was supposed to be nothing
of the kind, and nobody pretended to
want it non-partisan more than Coun-
Gilman Holmberg, who proposed one
ticket, and received the support of the
editor of the Republican at the polls.
Hereafter the Republican wants no
talk of compromise. We have had
enough of it. We have had enough
of this twofaced, hypocritical double
dealing; had enough Of this one thing
to your face and another behind your
back.
Suppose we apply the argument to
hardware. If Mr.. Holmberg's store
happens to have more business than
Oud-Shields hardware, the county
should give the hardware business to
Mr.. Holmberg's competitor, and the
same is true with village business.
Coucilma Zelenka was fair. He
said he had nothing to say; that while
he and the Republican had not agreed
politically the hatchet was buried,
so far as he knew, and would leave it
up to the others. So far as the Re-
publican understands, Mr.. Zelenka is
inclined to encourage harmony. Coun-
Gilman Holmbreg seems to be the
leading spirit in this whole affair, ar
attitude that does him no credit, and
makes his previous efforts at harmony
look cheap and hypocritical.

Better Markets for Home Products Popular.

magnificent Lambert cherries, for size
and quality unsurpassed anywhere in
the world. We could plant one mil
lion of these trees, and harvest great
crops, but what would we do with
them? But suppose we could find
market? Why, we would have en-
ployment for an army of men and
women several months in the year,
and these people would become patrons
Of Orofino business men. Would that
pay? We can produce the cherries
but what of the market?
Markets, then, seem to be the key
note to community prosperity, and the
Republican is trying to arouse COM
munity interest in the Importance of
this fact
There is no reason why we could not
accomplish great things if there is CO.
operation. Working together will do
wonders.
Here is suggestion: Instead of
the farmer and merchant pulling at
cross purposes, why not unitep Sup
pose the farmer, when he wants
bill of goods, says to the home mer-
chant: Here is what | want?
Treat me right and I'll buy at
home. The merchant could say to the
farmer: 81 will help find market
for your products. Let us work to-
gether?'

Immediately after the girls finished
the boys took the floor and for forty
minutes there was some royal sport.
The spirit of sportsmanship was fine.
Every man on hsteams played for
all there was in him, and at time the
work was the fastest yet seen here.
Orofino's teamwork was greatly i'm
proved since the Weippe game only a
week before, and was much better
than their opponents. Kendrick
fought gamely, however, endeavoring
to change the score, and won much
praise for their plucky exhibition.
The score was AZ to l6 for the Orofino
High boys, who were duly elated.
A more manly bunch of boys have
not visited Orofino this season, while
the K endrick High school girls are a
credit to their town. They took de-
feat good naturedly, and made many
friends during their short visit.

Good For The Sheriff.

King county, WASH, in which Se-
attic is located, seems to have a sher-
iff to whom all look alike. He has
refused to wink at millionaire clubs
and other rich citizens violating the
prohibition laws while the poor are
prosecuted. And that is right. If
poor man is denied his beer why
should a millionaire enjoy his private
cellar full of Imported wines and
whiskey? If we had more officials
like this sheriff there would be more
respect for law among laboring
classes who feel that money is a
badge that opens the door to wealthy
offenders.
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1916-01-28

The Republican has reason to be-
lieve it has taken up something worth
while in suggesting cooperation of
business men with our farmers to the
end that markets may be found for
the products of our farms. If our
merchants make the effort the farmer
will be slow to send his money out of
the county when he needs something
the merchant can supply. There is
nothing the matter with our soil !;
nothing the matter with most of our
people; but there is something the
matter when farmer comes to market
surplus fruits, berries, and vegeta-
bles. So far as Orofno is concerned
it can we'll afford to give this matter
some earnest consideration, without
expecting any direct profit, since
whatever enables our farmers to pros
per helps everybody.
When we inquire: What is the
matter with Orofno? the answer is
Lack of business. We have too
much idle land within six miles of
town. Why is our land idle? Be-
cause there is no market for such pro-
ducts as our rich river bottoms and
benches can best produce. Frank
Kolasa plowed up half an acre of
strawberries two years ago because
there WAS no market
ANY of our sidehills will produce

At the last meeting of the village
council there was passed two ordi-
nances dealing with sidewalks and the
paving of the main business street.
= These ordinances cover three and
one half columns in 7-col. page, or
about coils. in the Republican, if set
in nonpareil type, and when it came
to having them published Frank Jones
was the only member to demand that
village business be divided between
the two local papers. On vote Holm
berg, Noble ,Zelenka and Curtis voted
for the Orofino Tribune, which has
had monopoly on village work since
the present board was sworn in.
Councilman Frank Jones, when the
matter of printing the paving and
sidewalk ordinances came up Monday
night, moved that the resolution be
printed in the Republican. Great
silence prevailed. Nobody would
second the motion. Then Councilman
Holmberg moved that the Orofino
Tribune, in which he holds an inter-
est, be given the. printing, and Noble,
Curtis, Zelenka and Holmberg sup
ported it. Mr.. Jones voted "No. I"
il Following this came the sidewalk
ordinance and again Mr.. Jones was
alone in his efforts to break the COM
bination favoring monopoly for the
Tribune.
Councilman Jones took the position
that the village printing should be di-
vided, removing any cause for i'll feel
ing, and thus encourage efforts being
made to stop the disagreeable local
rupture among the people of the COM
munity.
1t is passing strange, in view of
the fact that the Republican took no
part whatever in the village election,
it should be penalized, a policy that
compels this paper, for self-preserva-
tion, to hereafter fight. And this is
how it is going to work Nobody is
more vitality interested in a county
fair than is Mr.. Holmberg and his
colleagues. And they have profted by
the efforts of the Republican, since
we have helped to make the fairs a
success. But next year, following a
policy they force on US, the Clearwat-
er Republican will stand for no com
promise; this paper will have all the
printing, or it will have none; the

Assessor A. E. Hinckley has def
nitely decided to try the Somer sys-
tenn of assessing this year, and accord
ingly willmeet the people of the
county at their schools. houses for this
purpose. This plan was tried for the
first time inL atah county in 1914, and
worked well.lt proved economical,
since no time was lost hunting up
property owners. They all met at one
place on given date, and publicly
gave in their property. That year
the Lstah assessor sent out notices to
all taxpayers fixing the time and
place. and began on Burnt Ridge on
January 5th. Every property holder
in the district attended the meeting.
An evening session was held and
spent in a discussion and fixing of
values. There WAS also comparison
of values of the various parts of the
county. The law governing taxation
was discussed. The next day, with
the help of one clerk, the assessor
assessed the entire district that would
ordinarily have required many days,
with all its lack of uniformity. Each
man gave in his property in the pres
ence of the other taxpayers, so that
when the assessor finished everybody
knew how everybody else was assessed,
and had had voice in the assess
ment, thus helping to equalize the
assessment. Where the people CO.
operated with the assessor the work
was curtailed rs per cent, and bet
ter assessment secured. Under the
Somer system there is no chance for
one property owner to cover up prop
