| Although there were several anus
ing mistakes in the spelling of names
| the table was, on the whole, accurate
and resulted in the establishment o.
the proposed town of Deary. The
name of Dearly was given in accord
ance with custom long established
in northern Wisconsin, Michigan and
Minnesota, where for years, towns
have been given the names of the man
ayers of the lumber companies that
opened up the new territory. The
town having been plated by the Pot
latch Lumber company of which Mr.
William Deary is manager, the name
agreed upon from the first was
"Deary." This name has been the
occasion of much mirth in court ship
circles and inasmuoh as there have
been not few marriages among it's
younger set, its appropriateness, in
addition to the sanction of custom
can no LANCER be questioned.
The town itself has had as steady
a growth as any new town, established
in partially developed farm country
ever had. Its special claim to dis
tinction, distinction of which it's
citizens are very proud, is the fact that
few new towns have the class of mod
ern dwellings of which Deary boasts
Nh IL -,
tvs newest town:
LIST. 1t has a greater number of
heater and more handsome residences.
INTELLECTUALLY than any other town
its size in the Inland Empire.
End. That the yards surrounding
the homes are better kept, showing
more care and attention than any in
the state of Idaho where the town is
of the same age.
3rd. That the citizens are wide
awake home-makers who take pride
in the appearance of their property,
and have an abiding faith in the devel-
opment of the Upper Potlatch.
Deary is both the supply and ship
ping point of the entire Upper Pot
latch country, drawing it's supplies
from the cultivated farms of Little
and Big Rear Ridges, from Texas
fIluSe anu from TIE bOulueI SlSSh
country Since the establishment of
the Deary Home and Orchard tracts,
it has been conclusively proven that
the immediate vicinity of Deary it
self has a future in apples and small
fruits that will make it an immense
producer of these commodities. Only
this season, Frank Davis on tract of
land that was covered with immense
pines and logged off a year ago last
winter by the Potlatch Lumber COM
pany, raised on a quarter of an acre
fifty crates of strawberries that yield
ed him two dollars per crate or $500
per acre And this on land that was
stump land a year ago. The outlets
for this supply point, giving it the
market that is essential to make the
supply point prosperous includes st |
Maries, Missouri Butt and Helena to
he north and east; Elk River to the
south and east; the lumber camps of
he Potlatch Lumber company, east;
md Potlatch, to the west. These mar
lets are big consumers of the small
ruits which are being raised more
md more in this section Of the coun-
ry and this industry promises 10 be
me of the best which the Upper Pot
Itch will foster.
Dairying is another industry that
las big future in this section. Roth
Italia and clover are profitable
rops. Butter-fat at the Deary cream
tation has never been below twenty-f
wo cents and from that it has been
S high as thirty-eight cents per
ound in the winter months. Pro
ressive farmers provide to have their
ows come fresh when the market is
ae highest price, and in this way real
,e the biggest returns.
John Brannan, one Of the directors s
/ the Upper Potlatch Fair associa- s
on, somed seven acres of clover three s
ears ago. The first year he had
iir crop. Last year he moved into {
le barn twenty-five big loads, hauled .
70 big loads to a neighbor and had Y
xcellent pasture the rest Of the sea- /
IN. From the twenty-five loads in |
lie barn, he fed five head Of horses
| winter eleven head of cattle UNI G
| Christmas, and eight head until |
)1ing and he has clover LETT. /
Last month, the Deary cream sta S
on shipped out nearly two tons OF t
Itter-fat, and this industry which d
is been materially assisted by the lib c
al policy Of the Pine Creek Dairy a
of Spokane, also promises to t
ing much money to the ranchers OF S
e Upper Potlatch. O
Another rancher who lives on Texas S
idge, PLANTED three acres on side e
IL that was then thought to be waste s
nd because it was SO steep, sowing 1t W
alfalfa This was fifteen years "
% and this month, the owner, MI g.
K. Dahlgren, brought to the Of
e of the Latah Realty company 81
indie that would do credit to an irri- h
