The Lamont building, to be used
for a theatre. and leased by Mr..
Miller for the Rex, is rapidly nearing
completion. The operating room is
almost completed, and the interior is
receiving the finishing touches. When

creditable show house, amply large to
accommodate all local demands. and
one that will be credit to the town.
Mr.. Lamont deserves much credit
for his enterprise. Mr.. Miller is

STATE WILL DESTROY ALL
SCAbby FRUIT TREES

7. j. LaForest, deputy horticultural
inspector for the Clearwater basin
from Sites to Peck. is busy these
days looking over orchards in his ter
ritory. Many of the orchards along
the river are badly infected with
scale. says Mr.. LaForest, who expects
that some orchards will have to be
cut down and destroyed. Where trees
once get infected it is difficult mat
ter to eradicate the disease, and is
better to cut down and set out new
trees. Some orchards near Ahsahks
have been ordered destroyed, being
beyond hope of relief.

COUNTY ASSESSOR BUSY
TAKING AGR|CULT TURAL CENSUS

In accordance with new state law,
and in conformity with the urgent
demands of the state authorities,
County Assessor Hinckley is now
gathering and compiling agricultural
data o. the utmost Importance to both
the state and the nation. Unfortun-
ately the work of assessing the county
was finished when the state sent out
word demanding that this information
be gathered, and the best the assessor
can do is to mail the blanks to the
farmers who should fill them out i'm
mediately and return them to Assessor
Hinckley. These blanks show the
acreage planted last season and the
acreage to be planted this year, to-
gether with description of crops. 1t
includes fruits, vegetables, grains,
hay, livestock, and acres in cultiva-
tion. The date also includes the
yields pre- acre last year, and the
probable yield for 1917. Every far
mer in the county must furnish this
information promptly. The law re-
quires it.
University Military Instructor Visits Orofino.
On Thursday evening Captain Avery
d. Cummings of the U. S. Army, and
who is now acting as commandant at
Idaho University, visited Orofino as
the guest of the Home Guards.
Captain Cummings and Captain Fisher
of the Home Guards were guests of
DR. Givens to dinner in their
honor, after which these officers
drilled and inspected the local organ
ization. Captain Cummings expressed
himself as pleased at the progress
being made, and was complimentary
to the splendid work done by Captain
Fisher. At O'Clock meeting was
held in the X. p. hall, which was
very largely attended. Captain Cum
mings made an extended address upon
the general war situation, and upon
the purposes and value of the Home
Guard organizations thruOut the coun-
try He especially dweit upon the
necessity for thorough organization,
and the necessity that we avoid the
mistakes made by the other countries
in the early part of the war. The
, necessity that the farmers, the busi
ness men and the people at large-in
whatever way engaged, be organized
, and do things intelligently, and that
, we each do mans part, were each
emphasized.
After the address Capt. Cummings
invited anyone to ask questions con-
cerning any military matters which
they did not understand. Many ques-
tions were asked and answered and
much useful information was received.
> AS community we are very appre-
ciative Of the Captains visit, and
will hope to see and hear him again.
1t is expected that DR.. John W..
Givens will give the second of his ad-
dresses upon first aid to the injured,
sometime next week. These addresses
are very interesting and instructive
whether or not one expects to go into
the war. Those who do not hear
them are missing treat.

MAY MEAN CONSTRUCTION
Of THE M|SSOUlA CUTOFF

Howard Elliott has resigned as
president of the New Haven and Bos-
ton railroad and is it rumored in rail
road circles will return to the service
of the Northern Pacific as president of
its board Of directors. 1t is believed
by some this will mean the early
construction of the Missoula cutoff,
putting Orofino on the main line of a
transcontinental railroad.
Mr.. Elliott was formerly president
of the N. =. Ry., and is perhaps the
ablest railroad manager in America
today, and his return to the railroad
service of the northwest will be of
great help to this entire section.
His road was at the head of the
list for two successive months in the
reports of passenger trains s,operated
on time in the State of New York
In February. when weather conditions
were probably at their worst, the New
Haven reportd 80. per cent of its
trains on time at its New York termi-
MAJ, dS against 10 per cent. LOT us
nearest rival, the Long Island, and
70. l per cent for the next road, the
Lackawana. In March, when weather
conditions were much improved, the
New Haven again led, having SS.4 per
cent of it's trains on time as against
81. per cent for the Lackawana and
81 per cent for the we'll managed and
prosperous Buffalo, Rochester and
Pittsburg.
Mr.. Elliott is refined, cultured
gentleman, and is greatly beloved by
all who have the good fortune to know
him. He has done more, perhaps.
than any other railroad manager to
bring into and keep in the railroad
service men of the very highest type,
such as our own c.. f. Arney, general
immigration agent, MIR. Jordan, gen.
eral agent of this section, our owr
conductor, Mr.. Phillips, and our loca
agent, Mr.. Krogh, all of whom were
appointed by Mr.. Elliott when he wa'
president of the N. P.
