Clearwater River
Claims Victim
A. M. DeShazer Loses Life in
Attempt to Cross Stream
Rescue Attempt Fails.

A. M. De Shazer, who came to
Orofino June 8. and who has been
working in the Northern Pacific
uepot since, drowned Wednesday
evening at about $3.50, in the eddy
in the Clearwater river about a
mile above this city. De Shazer and
NJ. D. Rietmann. who is employed
at the Affleck drug store, departed
for the swimming hole after supper
and were in the water only few
minutes when the drowning occurred.
A number of young ladies who were
also bathing witnessed the sad at
fair.
1t seems that De ShaZer was a
poor swimmer and went out in a
great depth in an effort to cross
to the opposite side and became
strangled or attacked by cramps.
He turned back the way he had
gone and called for help. Rietmann
had crossed the river ana was on
the bank when his friend called
for help and could not reach him in
time to offer aid. Miss Blanche
Tweedy, stenographer in the Forest
service offices here, good swim
mer, came to De Shazer's aid with a
fair sized post intending to give the
unfortunate man one end to hold
while she pulled him ashore. The
effort failed for the drowning man
seemed to have lost his strength
and Immediately sank out Of view.
1t is. estimated that the water was
20 feet deep where he went down.
News OF the affair was telephoned
to Orofino from the J. H. Rogers
home, which is just hundred yards
from the bathing place. and a num-
Der of cars proceeded to the scene
The body was located about 150
feet from where 1t went down, hav-
ing been carried by the current tC
that place, and was taken from the
water about 80 minutes after dis.
appearing. by J. Bullock and Riet
mann. The body was recovered ir
water about four feet deep.
Every possible effort was made b,
men present to resuscitate the un
fortunate young man but after two
hours of such work. hope for his re
covery was abandoned The bod!
was brought to the w. A. Shaw un
dertaking parlors and prepared To-
shipment.
Mr.. De Shazers wife at Union
town and his folks at Thorpe. Wash
were Immediately notified Of his sat
demise. Mrs. De Shazer came t
Orofino yesterday afternoon to OBJ
tain the particulars concerning tn
drowning and will accompany tn
!; body to Ellensburg. Wash. wher
interment will take place.

The question Of constructing two
buildings at the "Swimmin" hole
was debated and action was taken
to order material and commence
building at once. 1t was decided to
put up two buildings 10 by 16 each,
for separate dressing rooms for both
sexes. The buildings are to be
floored and the roofs are to be
gabled with the gable ends left open
for ventilation.
The Orofino Base Ball Club has

The Orofino Creamery IS now an
established business institution OF
the county seat.
A sufficient number of stockhold-
-ers met in the Orofino Club rooms,
Tuesday evening and completed the
preliminary organization. by the
election of a board Of directors,
seven in number. The newly elected
officers are G. H. EIDE, Benz. Schmid

such other executive officials as are
necessary to properly conduct the

ice cream and ice business. The 10
cation of the creamery is at Orofino,

Mr.. Weisenfluh, who will be the
manager of the new business venture
Is practical creamery expert and
experienced ice cream manufacturer
He has been connected with the
Sites creamery until a few days
ago, when he resigned to take
charge of the Orofino plant. The
operation of this institution should
be encouraged in every possible way
by the people of this locality. The
farmers. apparently, are taking a
great interest in the location Of this
dairying plant within such easy
reach, where they can do their
business directly with the creamery
people instead of by mail, as hereto
fore.
There should be no difficulty in
disposing of the entire issue of stock
when the resultant benefits are
taken into consideration. The
people of Orofino and vicinity have
subscribed literally to the Chautau-
qua and have executed guarantee
to insure the return of this six day
, pleasure producing aggregation of
temporary artists, which is COM
mendable. With liberality thus ex-
emplified there should be no hesi-
fancy in volunteering to assist in
the establishment ecouragement
and financial support of perma-
nent institution of business value

and be an attractive advertisement
to put Qrofino prominently on the
map.
The Board of Directors of the
Orofino Creamery Co., that were
elected by the stockholders, on Tues
day, met Thursday and perfected
the organization by the selection OF
the following named officers:

immediate and active operations t.

PAVE MAIN STREET.

With the hardsurfacing of the mac.
adam highway through Athena, and q
portion of it at least on Main street,
the opportunity is presented for the
paving of the street from the O.-W.
r. Il N. depot to the intersection Of
Fifth street. distance of fivo blocks.
Perhaps never again would such fav-
orable conditions lie encountered for
doing this work. SO far as assemblage
of equipment and men is concerned.
The Warren Construction company
would be ON the ground with its plant,
in performance of its contract work on
the state highway. Thus the contract
ing company would be in position
to pave the entire width of the street
with the one operation required of its
machinery and men. already employed
by it in state and county work.
Athena's macademized street has
served its purpose long and well, but
at frightful cost Of maintenance. In
the aggregate, thousands of dollars
have been expended in the years since
the macadam has been in use. for wa.
ter binding, and Of later years for
oiliDg the surface of the street,
But now the wearing life of the
'inacadam has become exhausted and
its deterioration may be Witnessed in
the general breaking up Of the surface,
marked by deprsssions over the entire
length of the thoroughfare which is in
variablg followed by the gouging out
process entailed ly constant automobile
traffic. The stability of the present
macadam surface has ceased to exist.
To remodel the street with macadam
would be sheer folly in the free of
past experience, to say nothing of the
permanency of bitulithic construction
over that Of the macademized method. |
II would seem that Athena with her |
street, is in much the same plight in |
which the county was confronted with |
her macadam rosd--in order to save
what she has left of the road, she SEN
sibly proceeded to hardsurafce it.
