The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1912-01-12

Now don't that make you feel
good to have people 80 interested
in your little city to be writing to
the neighboring towns and asking
If their is really a place called Ken
drick, Idaho, and how far 1t is from
rail road. This should be an incen-
tive for you dear people to wake up
and get out Of your shell and come
forth and proclaim to the world
that you are not all dead ones.
The Gazette will say for the benefit
OF the writer OF this message that
Kendrick is on the map and on the
railroad and on the river and on the
earth and located in the garden
spot of the northwest. She is a
town OF eight hundred and growing
rapidly. The farming district sur
rounding this beautiful city cannot
be equaled any where in the world.
Think OF the immence crops OF small
grains, and beans, corn and fruit
that Is being raised from year to
year and then on the other hand,
stop for a moment and think OF the
many prizes that have been won by
our farmers products, and then can
we sit idley By and have such slurs
as this one thrown at us and never
make an effort on our part to tell
the general public that the City of
Kendrick is alive and on map ard
that her citizens are proud of her
uame.
The letter was answered by j. F.
Brown and he informed the writer
where to find US next time.

Violet Buehler, Who Left Her Chicago
Home in November, Discovered
in New York at Work.

New York.-Violet Buehler, the
much heralded heiress, who vanished
from the home Of her foster parents
in Chicago last November, was dis
covered working as a servant in an
upper East side tenement.
From Chicago word came that the
young woman's mother intended to
come to this city and claim her. Then
came a dispatch that her foster mother
would also come here and put in a
claim. Violet said she was too busy
with other matters to give any opin-
ion as to whether she would go home
with her real mother or her foster
mother. She seemed to prefer to
talk about John CIune. waiter. and
express her love for him, rather than
say anything else.
st love Jack because he loves me
and nothing in the world can part US,
she said, so what's the use Of asking
so many questions?"
When Violet appeared in the chill
dren's court Justice Olmstead asked
her why she ran away from her Chi
cago home She replied:
''Oh, just wanted to see what life

PLAN INCOME TAX APPEAL
Wisconsin Manufact urers' Association
Considers Carrying the Case to
U. S. Supreme Court.

waukee.-Whether the income
tax case will be appealed to the Su-
preme court Of the United States
will be decided late this month.
President Harry W. Bolens of the
Wisconsin Manufacturers associa-
ton, which was back of the case
brought before the state supreme
court and recently decided, said that
the question of an appeal would be
taken up at meeting of the board
of directors of the Wisconsin Manu-
facturers' association, which would
be held during the week of Feb. FL
There is said to be a feeling among
the manufacturers that they would
like to know what the United States
Supreme court would think of the
contention that the law violates the
United States constitution. The state
supreme court held it did not. If an
appeal is taken it will be on this
proposition.

TURK VESSELS SUNK
ITALIAN FLEET ANNIHILATES
SHIPS OF ENEMY.
Mos!em Gunboats no Match fer Op-
ponents-Seven Warships Are
Destroye5

RoAe.-The first z2portant naval
battle in the Turcc-f1alian war oc-
Cured in the Red ga with the re-
suit that an Italian >,-uiser squadron
sank the Turkish gunboats after a
sharp conflict A large number of
Turkish seanen went down with
their ships, but others were rescued
by italian warships.
There were seven gunboats and an
armed yacht in the Turkish fleet,
while the Italians had one cruiser and
two destroyers actively engaged. The
reports received show that the Italian
fire was terrific and effective, while
that Of the Turks was weak and wild,
indicating incompetence on the part
of the gunners.
The Turks replied, but their feeble
armament succumbed to the superior
weapons OF the Italian war vessels.
The fight was stiff, but soon ended in
the victory of the Italians
The shells from the Italian ships
were not directed at the Turkish yacht
Fauvette, which accompanied the gun
boats, and it was the only unit Of
the Turkish fiotilla which was not de-
stroyed.

SHEBOYGAN LEADS
CHEESE COUNTIES
Stands First in State for Pro-
duction and Sales.
PRICES LOWER LAST YEAR
Sales for Entire State of Wisconsin
During 1911 Shows Falling Off of
Over 100000 Pounds - High
Price of Feed a Cause

Sheboygan. = Sheboygan county
overwhelmingly leads the state of
Wisconsin in the amount of cheese
manufactured in 1911 as it did in
1910.
In 1911 at an average Of IA cents
per pound the sales on the Sheboy-
gan board were $727,0591 Is and at
the same average the sale on the
Plymouth board amounted to $780,
993.04 or total for Sheboygan
county of $1,338, O52.22. In the
whole state of Wisconsin of the nine
boards, 14,566,594 pounds were sold
on the Plymouth and Sheboygan
boards. The Plymouth sales were
4,364,236 pounds and this city
5,193,287.
The average price for the year was
IA cents While a year ago it was
IS Is cents per pound The total
amount paid for all the cheese sold
on the board was $2,71O,8 3514 and
of this sum Sheboygan county con-
tributes S1,338, 052.22. The basis Of
weight per box used to determine the
total number of pounds is as follows:
Cheddars, 65; twins, SIS; single dali
sizes, Fl; double daisies, AZ; young
Americas, AZ; longhorns, As; square
prints, 20.

cents; 1907, 10 II cents; 1908, 1874
cents; 1909, 5 cents; 1910, 151
cents; 1911, IA cents.
The sales of cheese on Wisconsin
dairy boards in 1911 shows falling
off of over 100000 pounds from
the sales of 1910, due to the fact
that during a part of the summer a
smaller number of factory men Of
fered their cheese en- the boards and
to the shortage in the make during
the fall months, due to the poor pas
turage and the high price of feeds

Among the many lunching clubs
that have grown up in all big cities
one has been formed in New York
which has had the foresight to estab-
Iish an ironclad rule that it's members
shall refrain from talking shop. Con
yersation as an aid to digestion has
much in its favor, but when there are
a thousand and one other things TO
talk about the man who invariably
talks shop makes a great mistake,
says the Cincinnati Times-Star. He
runs the risk of being bore TO his
friends and acquaintances and men
ace to himself. The business man
who finds it impossible to forget bust
ness for at least the short interval re-
CURED for the MONDAY meal lacks
an accomplishment that is worth
while. The ability to forget at such
! time has a positive health value,
The mar who is eternally talking
shop is not usually regarded as a val
liable acquaintance. He may find 9TH
err of the same feather, but the flock
is not of great proportions, 1t should
be even smaller, and to make it
smaller rules such as this New York
club has adopted are deserving of
general imitation

TO PREVENT FIRES IN NEW YORK

A bureau Of fire prevention has just
been organized in New York city I'M
der the new state law enacted as a
result Of the great Asch building fire
and similar disasters. Nearly 600
inspectors will be employed by the bu-
reau, whose officers and men are
drawn from the fire department. The
force will inspect buildings and will
work in cooperation with the bureau
of fire exiting uishment. Large powers
are given to tho new bureau; it will
have control of fre-escapes and fire
exits, cellars, dumbwaiter shafts,
auxiliary fire appliances and every
thing designed to protect human life
from fire, says the Chicago Record
Herald A landlord who refuses to
comply with the order of the bureau
will be required TO close his building
until the changes thought necessary
by the bureau have been made. The
example of New York in this respect
ought to be followed in many states.
Illinois has made a start through the
authorization by the legislature of a
commission to codify the building
laws and report communications for
fire protection after examination Of
the laws of other states. This COM
mission is not required to report be-
fore January l. 1913; meantime local
fire prevention ordinances should be
rigidly enforced.
