Civil War Goes to Join the
Vast Majority

Clay Swank departed for Retsel
Wash. on Mondays train. in
answer to telegram announcing

az the soldiers home, near Bremen
ton. The old gentleman was an old
and respected resident of the Clear
water country for quite a number
OF years He served in the North
ern army during the civil war and
was proud of the bronze button he
50 honorably wore
For several years past he has
been enjoying veterans reward at
the soldiers home on the Sound.
He leaves five sons and five
daughters to mourn his loss. The
one particularly positive commen-
dation that can be advanced for
John Swank is that he was a
thoroughly patriotic American citi-
zen.

A New Flour Mill

A. H. Perkins. representing the
Community Flour Mills was an Oro-
fino visitor last week endeayoring
to establish community flour
mill at this point. Mr.. Perkins re-
ceived considerable encouragement
and Orofino may have community
mill in the near future. The people
of Orofino are awake to the fact
that eyerey new business venture
like a flour mill or creamery is a
substantial benefit to the village.
The Orofino Creamery Is an ex-
ample of what can be accomplished
by concerted action in the COM
munity and the proposed flour mill
venture will be another boost for
Orofinos importance and prosperity.

Lewiston Livestock Show

The Northwest Livestock A.~,oci-
alton Will hold their eleventh annu-
al show in Lewiston, November s
to Ia inclusive.
The Association. in the past, has
sincerely realized that the greatest
force for success in its endeavors
has been the support given it by
the press of the country
The annual Show of the North
west Livestock Association is purely
educational The stock men and ag-
riculturists of this section of the
Northwes realized a few years ago
that the substantial future OF the
country depended upon the devel-
opment of higher standards of live
stock and the consequent diversity
ing of farm industry.
Guided by the view that an an
nual Exhibition. maintained on the
highest basis of integrity. would be
in effect the machine tnat would
bring about the results desired, the
Show was established and now
eleven years OF its career have
shown the judgment vas not
misplaced one 1t has grown each
year in magnitude and usefulness
and now the Associa ion, COM
prised OF stock men and agricultur-
isits of the Northwest, are pre-
pared to announce that the coming
Show will, in all departments, sur
pass past endeavors.
Every one that can possibly go
should attend this exhibition and
meet the type of citizen that the
exhibition always attracts, the sub
stantial thinking type of man. who
sacrifices time and measure in be-
half of the great movement that the
Association has fostered.
The week in Lewiston will afford
a wide range of entertainment for
everybody, but not that of only
transient purpose, but instead or
ganized solely along lines of edu
cational value.
The opening day of the Show,
next Sunday, November 9th, is to
be honored by the presence Of the
Famous Navy Band of the Pacific
Fleet. which will provide concerts
for the opening ceremony.
The Band has been attracted to
Lewiston by the reputation and
manipulation of the largest Show
assumed in the west. The Band
comprises twenty picked musicians
from the Sixth Battleship Division
of the Pacific Fleet and a large
number of them is from Admiral
Rodman's Flagship, the New Mex
leo.
From Lewiston the Band goes to
Portland, thence returning to the
Fleet

At present the crew Is working

is Nely apparent that important de-

fact. A great deal of preliminary
work OF a substantial character IA

outlay for fire patrolling, taxes and
loss of timber almost compel the
timber companies to work up their
holdings into the manufactured

expense. The early part of next
year will undoubtedly be an i'm

ance and prosperity of Clearwater
County, by active developments OF
its vast timber industry.

Firemen's Dance a Success

The Firemen's Halloween Box
Supper and Dance, given Friday
evening. October 81, was grand
success. The receipts were $125.50,
and a good surplus will remain
after all bills are paid. The in
imitable Sam Porter acted as
auctioneer and the amount real
ized from the sale of baskets was
due, in a great measure. to Sans
efficient methods as an able
auctioneer. The Firemen usually
make a success of every under
taking they take hold Of and any
thing connected in any way with
the Orofino Volunteer Fire Depart
ment is bound to be bowling sue

OrOfinO De-
featS Cenesee
Local Huskies Take the Enemy
Into Camp by a Score
of 9 to {

The climax of the best game
this year was reached last Saturday
when the whistle blew with Oro-
fino High School in 90 victory
over the High School of Genesee,
Idaho.
The report came that the Gen
esee boys played the game while
coming up on the train Saturday,
before the game and that II was to
have been of an entirely different
ending
The game was called at p. m,
just as the shadows came creeping
down into the peaceful Clearwater
valley. Genesee kicked off to Oro-
fino and Johanson of Orofino re-
ceived the ball, returning It to the
center of the field. Thus the game
was off in cloud of shadows.
Orofino was full of pep and by
a series of plays carried the ball to
Genesee's thirty yard line and here
1t was that Orofino displayed the
educated toe of Vivian Orcutt,
when he booted a drop kick from
the thirty-five yard line. thus scor-
ing three points for Orofino.
This little taste of victory sent
the Orofino boys repeatedly thru
Genesee's line and Orofino
crossed Genesee's goal line, but lost
the ball by fumbling after carrying
it across.
This only caused the boys to
tighten up and carry it across
again, scoring more points, but
failing to kick a goal.
Genesee played good ball and by
a series of forward passing and end
runs they carried the ball over
Orofinos goal line, scoring for
Genesee, failing to kick the goal.
The game on the whole, was a
good clean game, both teams dis
playing the sterling quality Of fair
play. Both teams were penaIfzed
only yards each for off side.
