PLACE EMBARGO ON
GRAIN SHIPMENTS
N. P. Railroad Tries to Help
Car Shortage

As a radical step to give relief to
the car shortage situation the
Northern Pacific railway company
Wednesday announced an embargo
on all east-bound grain and flour
shipments. The announcement was
received by local offices of the COM
pany during the forenoon, with the
statement that the embargo would
be made effective Thursday.
The embargo applies not. only to
the eastern terminals of the North
ern Pacific, such as Minneapolis or
Duluth, but to shipments as we'll
destined beyond those points.
There is an impression that the
order will prevail for only a few
days and is intended to relieve the
freight congestion by releasing
many cars now in the terminals.
1t is explained with the embargo
going into effect the new demurrage
rules will also become effective.
These rules provide that after two
days the demurrage charge will be
81 for the first day, So for the Sec
ond day, So for the third day, 81
for the fourth day and SIS for the
fifth and each subsequent day the
car remains unloaded. The old de.
murrage rule limited the charge to
81 day. 1t is explained that this
charge was so light many shippers
found it more profitable to pay it
for Is or 20 days than to meet the
elevator charges. The shipper was
thus also able during the period tc
give the car a new routing if he Sc
desired. The embargo and the new
demurrage rule it is felt will early
result in making available for othe1
than grain and -four shipments
many thousands of cars.

Cost of Hired Mans Board

1t costs 1923 per year to board a
hired hand, according to estimates
furnished to the Department of
Agriculture by 900 farmers repre-
senting widely separated sections in
Id States. The averages derived
from these estimates are embodied
in Department Bulletin 410, recent
ly published, entitled "Value to
Farm Families of Food, Fuel, and
Use of House."
1t was found that the total an
nual cost per person of board for
hired help varied from $104 in Ver-
mont and Pennsylvania to $162 in
New Jersey, and that the percent.
age of this cost paid out in cash
varied from Is per cent in North
Carolina to 49 per cent in Califor.
MIA. This percentage is about one
third in the eastern section studied
about onc-fourth in the corn-belt
States, and still less in the Southern
States.

The Wrestling Match

Two professional wrestlers blew
into Kendrick the first of the week
and challenged any amateur in this
vicinity to match. Some of the
local sports finally prevailed upon
Harry Hupp, as the most likely
representative of this section, to go
on the mat with the smaller Of the
two, an Indian who goes by the
name of Iron" Chamberlain.
Tuesday night was chosen and the
crowd assembled to see the Indian
get his. 1t looked for a while as
tho he was sure going to get more
than he had any idea was coming to
him. Hupp was not in condition
for match, however, having just
recovered from a siege of the
grippe, so that he couldn't keep up
the pace which he started and the
Indian secured the first fall. Harry
was too ill to continue the match,
so, by the unanimous consent of the
| crowd, the next two falls were
called off.
A featherweight match was
staged between Harry Stanton s
eldest son, Claude and Archie Bo-
len. Both of these youngsters are
promising athletes and know sever
al "holts" already. The match was
declared draw after two rounds.
Paul Petrick and Art Hartingel
wrestled the big professional just
to show what he could do. Petrich
took him on first and Hartingel
wrestled him later in the evening
If they had both gone after him al
the same time the result might have
been prolonged.

Uhf &tght @att

The success of every great man hinges
right on that one thing--to pick your men
to do the work. The efforts of any one
man count for so very little! 1t all depends
on the selection and management of men to
carry out your plans. In every successful
concern, whether it be bank, school, factory
steamship company or railroad, the spirit of
one man runs through and animates the en-
tire institution. The success or failure of
the enterprise turns on the mental, moral
and spiritual qualities of this one man.
And the leader who can Undue an army Of
workers with spirit Of earnest fidelity to
duty, an answering desire to do the thing
that should be done, and always with ami
nation, kindness, courtesy and good cheer,
must be ranked as one of the great men Of
the earth. Selected.

Schools Lack Supervision

In her final repor. on the condi-
tions of the schools Of Latah county
Miss Catherine T. Dryden, who is
retiring after 10 years of service in
the position of county superinten-
dent, summarizes the financial con-
ditions and makes recommendations
designed to add to the effectiveness
of the educational system of the
county.
Lack of supervision of the schools
is given as the chief cause of unsat-
isfactory work. With 81 districts
in the county it is provided that
the superintendent shall visit and
inspect the work in each one, but
no assistant is provided and it has
been found impossible to make
tours of inspection and to care for
the other work of the office at the
same time.
During the past fiscal year the
expenditures for the schools totaled
$185, 1885, of which the largest
single item was $117,049.46 for
teachers. The receipts, including
state and county apportionments,
special tax fund, returns from the
sale of bonds and from other sourc-
es, totaled $182, ,66O.99, creating an
overdraft of $3172.36.
There are AZ men and $50 women
employed as teachers. The average
salary for the men is $3.50, for
the women $69,96, and for all
teachers combined it is $72.25.
There are 537 high school stud.
ents enrolled, 2549 elementary BOYS
and 2447 elementary girls. 1t is
estimated there are IL feeble minded
children attending the schools,
while one blind child and one deaf
are enrolled. The actual census OF
school children places the number
in the county at 6714.
The bonded indebtedness amounts
to $3.50, 200, while during the veal
$1,000 was spent for bond redemp
tion and $9286. SO for bond interest
New schoolhouses cost $3732.28.
Miss Dryden reports that l7(
teachers were enrolled in the las
teachers institute, the cost O.
which was $479.35. The readinl
circle is reported to have beer
more satisfactory than ever before

Badly Cut Hand

Clarence Bechtol suffered a very
painful and serious injury to his
left hand while running a circular
saw in the Kendrick Furniture
Company's shop. The thumb was
almost severed and the palm of his
hand badly lacerated. The accident
happened late Monday evening.
Clarence went to Lewiston on the
night train, accompanied by his

ical aid at one of the Lewiston hos
pitals and it is thought that the
thumb can be saved.

COMPANY
TO BUILD Line
Will Furnish Power to Kend-
rick and Troy.

At their recent session, the board
of county commissioners granted a
franchise to the Potlatch Consoli-
dated Electric Company, giving the
Company the right to construct and
maintain an electric line for the
transmission of power along the
highways of the county between
Troy and the City of Moscow. The
franchise will be effective as soon
as the required surety bond Of
$5O0O.O0 has been regularly filed
by the power company in favor of
I.atah County. The exact route Of
the line has not been definitely de-
cided upon at this time but active
work along that line will start as
soon as the bond offered by the
power company has been accepted
by the Board.
Owing to the increasing demand
for power and light in the Potlatch
section, the company anticipates
that they will not be able to supply
the needs of the communities served
by its lines from the generating
plant at Kendrick. For this rea-
son, they have decided to buy addi-
tional power from the Washington
Water Power Company which they
will distribute in the towns of Troy
and Kendrick for light and power
purposes. In order to secure this
additional power, it is necessary for
them to build line from the town
of Troy to Moscow which will COM
plete the connecting link between
the lines of the two companies.
The new line will transmit the
power at voltage of 13, 200 volts
and will be constructed according
to the latest designs in power lines.
Thirty-five foot poles will be used
in the construction giving an ample
clearance over all of the obstruc-
tions that will be met with along
the route of the line. Owing to
the unsettled condition of the
weather in this section, it is the
plan of the electric company to put
large crews of men at work in or
der to complete the construction
within the least possible period of
time. 1t is their plan to have the
entire line installed within sixty
days from the delivery of the ma.
terial on the ground.
After the line is in working or
der. the company will be in position
to offer a greatly improved service
to all of it's customers and solicit
the business of new patrons.
