Extent
1 item : Banner across the street in Orofino - organization about town to raise money for the effort in getting the dam. Note on back: " We had an organization about town to raise money for the effort in getting the dam. Here is a banner across the street. Dues to belong to "Clearwater Dams" was $1.00 or whatever you could spare. It did not come close to raising the money we eventually spent and we had to go for a lot of contributed labor and expense from other sources. County Sheriff Fred Pomeroy, on left. "
