ON KENDR|CK
BY H. S. STUDENT

The following essay written by
Henry Meyer Of the High. school
won the first prize in competition
with class of eight. The prize
consists in the publication of the
essay in the Kendrick Gazette.
This canyon city has three beaut-
les, which make it famous; first in
Importance are the hills, second the
mountain stream, which flows past
the village and lastly the town it.
self.
The canyon, in which Kendrick is
situated is about a quarter of mile
wide. In many places the hills rise
abruptly from each side of the valley
to hight of two thousand feet,
while in some places the slopes are
more gradual-the hills extending
as far as the eye can see to the east
and west. The north and east slopes
of the hills are bare, while the south
and west slopes are covered with a
dense growth of pine and fir. At
the foot of the hills in many places
are high cliffs, which rise from the
edge Of the water to a height Of two
hundred feet, all these and many OF
her beauties, make the mountain
scenery of Kendirck hard to excel.
Next in Importance is the little
mountain stream which flows past
Kendrick, it is named The Potlatch
which is an Indian word meaning
"give". 1t furnishes power for the
-four mill and has enough extra
power if harnessed to make electric
lights and run factories in our city.
1t flows along the south side of the
town and in the spring rises until it
often threatens to overflow it's banks
and wash the village off the map,
but in the summer the water is clear
and pure. There are many pools
along it's course which furnish the
best swimming holes in the country
for the boys, who delight in playing
and swimming in the clear, cool
water. But besides all this, the
little mountain stream is very beau
tiful as it flows with a continuous
roar year in and year out, sparkling
in the" light of the sun and moon
with ever changing grandure as it
goes tumbling on toward the sea.
Lastly is the canyon city itself, it
lies in the shape of gigantic Indian
war club in narrow canyon. 1t
extends for more than a mile east
and west and many people say it is
pretty we'll stretched out but not
dead. A railroad borders the town
on the south and bare precipitous
hills border it on the north and the
canyon stretches for miles beyond
its eastern and western extremities.
The town consists of one main
street, bordered with beautiful
trees, on which is situated all the
buisenss houses and also all the
residences of the west end of the
town. The east end rests upon the
slope of hill and it is residence
district, which consists of many beau.
tiful homes surrounded with trees
On this slope is also a magnificent
school building of which all the in,
habitants are proud. Therefore
Kendrick with its beautiful noun
tain scenery, its hills, its mountain
stream and the picturesque position
of the town itself, make it not only
a very pleasant and agreeable place
to live but also very pleasing to the
eye.

Apples Grow Big

James Rogers who lives in the
west end of town called at this office
this week and presented the Editor
with plate of excellent apples raised
on his place. They are beauties and
proof that if you will take care of
your trees you can raise as fine
apples in this country as any place
on Gods green earth.

$60.90, which is some price for a

The report from Warrington that the
Interstate Commerce Commission had de-
cidcd not to resume hearings In the petit
tons OF tho Eastern roads for higher
rates until answers had been obtained TO
Mr.. Brandeis's seventy-eight questions
created something OF an unfavorable i'm
preston. 1t was thought that the COM
mission would understand tho impor-
lance OF avoiding delay in this matter
At least one powerful orga nixation of
shippers has made this plea on the
ground that the general prosperity Of the
country's business was involved. The
most optimistic had even hoped that the
commission might decide IN favor OF the
railroads on the strength OF the mass OF
evidence already submitted with the pro-
vision that In cases where rates should
be subsequently found to be unfair they
should be corrected with allowance for
the overcharges made to the shipper.
That would appeal to many people as the
most buslnessliks way of dealing with the
situation.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


For some time two rather contradictory
features have been displayed In the mar
ket for the Rock Island securities. In
1910 Phelps. Dodge & Co. acquired
large block Of the preferred stock, being
a portion OF the stock Jettisoned by the
crowd on the collapse
OF that syndicate. The price paid Is be-
lieved to have been high. Since then the
Phelps, Dodge people have had q chance
greatly to increase their holdings at
much cheaper cost IL not actually to OBJ
tain control. The value OF the preferred
stock lies in the fact that Il carries with
control OF the whole property. A few
months ago on the occasion Of spasm Of
particular weakness In the Rock Island
shares an official Of the Phelps, Dodge
concern was quoted a. saying that the
original holdings Of the preferred had been
added TO- 1t has been accounted rather
curious that while these very important
interests should have retained their place
IN the company's affairs the collateral
trust bonds should have declined to a
point where thcy were selling at practi-
cally "receivership prtces." The bonds
are secured dollar for dollar by the stock
OF the old Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific
hallway Company. At least II IL difYicuit
10 reconcile the idea Of anybody buying
me preferred stock to obtain q voice In
tne company's AFFAIRS with the possibility
OF the old railway company passing into
the nnnds OF the collateral bondholders
Inc usual explanation given for this
anomaly II that the weakness OF the bonds
was temporary condition due to liquida-
ton by some large holders.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-01-14

Close observers Of the bond market on
the exchange during the past few days
have remarked on the unusual frequency
of transactions made with the provision
that delivery be- delayed. Sales Of bonds
seller ten fiat or seller twenty fat
have been common throughout the list
This 10 the usual method employed by
houses here In conducting sales for for
eign account when the securities are held
abroad. The delay IN making deliver,
is for the purpose OF allowing time for
the securities TO arrive In this country
These sales corroborate to some extent
the talk that has been going round the
Street since the first OF the year OF quite
free selling OF bonds from abroad. II IL
asserted that foreign houses have been
making efforts to get themselves I'm the
best shape for handling the big new for.
egn loans which are overhanginR the in.
vestment situation on the other side. The
New York bond market undoubtedly Of
fers better opportunities for realizine
than the markets abroad and there Is nc
reason why the foreigners should not bs
strengthening their cash position in this
way. These preparations on the part OF
foreign capitalists may also explain the
comparatively low price OF Canadian Pa
cifc and Its failure TO recover from the
last big drop.

The Improvement in the Rock Island
coiiaterals was an impressive feature.
For some little while there has been a
suspicion that the bonds must have been
wei worth their price below so. II is
perhaps interesting to note that a rumor
circulated ON the floor OF the exchange
Yesterday to the effect that the recent
selling which depressed the bonds AT one
'nie 10 iI"s represented the closing out
OF considerable line OF the bonds owned
by Lord Cowdraly. or Sir weetman Pear
son that was. Further the So. 600, 900
gold exported to Paris was said to be the
hnal step in the transaction. Whether
that or something similar was the ex-
plantation OF tho two striking develop.
mcnts OF the day or not. at least II may
no said that the sharp advance In the
bonds suggested nothing 80 much as q
sudden cessation OF liquidation. For
weeks the market for this issue has been
under more or less constant pressure.
Apparently the Pearson selling. II Pear
son selling II was. was Of q forced char
acter. Otherwise the question would arise
as to what security the money could be
transferred to yield better than S per
cent.
