WORK PROGRESSING
ON THE ELEVATOR
Soon be Ready for Concrete
Work

Ten men are working on the ele-
vator for the Kendrick Rochdale
Co. The pit is nearly finished and
it is quite sizable hole. 1t had to
be dug through gravel and rock
and required great deal of labor.
Some pretty fair sized boulders
were unearthed in the process of
digging the pit.
The contract for the concrete
work was given to Alloway & Georg
of Spokane. They have the forms
on the ground and are setting them
up to be ready to start building
the four big storage tanks as soon
as the pit has been completed. The
work is progressing nicely and it
will not be long until the concrete
will begin pouring into the forms.
Part of the machinery has already
arrived. A number of big iron pull
leys are here and they will be used
in the elevator shaft to run the
belts that hoist the grain from the
pit into storage tanks.
The machinery will all be run by
power supplied by the Potlatch
Electric Co. Two 10-horse motors
have already arrived. One of them
is to be used to run the elevator
and will be installed at the top of
the storage tanks and the other will
run the machinery and will be on
the ground floor. A man standing
on the ground floor can control all
of the machery connected with the
elevator by turning the switches.
This elevator is another mark OF
the progressiveness of the Potlatch
farmers. 1t it one Of the first being
built in this part of the country
and only goes to show that the far
mers in this vicinity do not follow
the lead of others but have enough
initiative of their own to take the
lead in anything that will improve
conditions in the Potlatch.

Windy Weather

Lewiston, Idaho, May 10.-Satur-
days windstorm assumed unusual
velocity in the mountain districts of
Idaho county from reports reaching
here. The j. McDaniels pack train
was hemmed in for several hours
by fallen trees and McDaniels had a
narrow escape. Much timber was
swept to the ground. The storm
has been followed by snow reaching
down to the prairie district and
yesterday four inches fell in the
Nez Perce, Cottonwood and VolI-
mer sections. At Central Ridge,
near Nez Perce, drifts three feet
deep formed. Weather, conditions
continue to embarass spring seeding
operations.

Navel-ill In Colts

Quite a number of colts in this
vicinity have died with the disease
known as navel-ill or blood-poison-
ing. Several days after the colt is
born, it loses its appetite. and grows
stiff. The joints swell up and in a
few days the colt dies. The navel
cord is found to be purplish in
color and full of pus.
The cause is pus germs.
The treatment is chiefly preven-
tion:-Do not allow the mare and
colt to remain in the barn, where
the infection is found. Paint the
navel with tincture of iodine. Ir
the first stage of the disease it car
be successfully handled by veteri
marian who will use vaccines anC
blood tonics.

Will Pemberton Hurt

Will Pemberton had very pain
full accident last Saturday. While
prying a rock loose on the ledge
behind the rock crusher the crow
bar slipped and he fell, strikin g
one side of his face on the rocks at
the base of the cliff. He also
bruised his left shoulder severely.
Fifteen stitches were taken to close
the cuts in his forehead and under
his left eye. The left eyelid was
badly lacerated and an operation
will probably be necessary later to
bring it back to its proper position.
The left side of his face is still quite
numb owing to the nerves being
severed.

PAPER PRICES
COIN GOING HIGHER
Demand becoming greater
than the supply

Paper of all kinds has advanced
in price SO to 100 per cent. In
some cases where certain grade of
paper is desired the wholesale houses
will not even quote prices until the
paper is delivered. The conditions
in the middle states are even worse
than they are here. The demand is
so great, caused to some extent by
the consumers stocking up heavily
for fear of still higher prices, that
the paper houses are swamped with
orders, many of which they cannot
fill.
An eastern weekly paper ran out
of news print and had to borrow
enough to last couple weeks until
an order, which had been in for two
months, arrived. There was no
definite prospect that the paper
could be secured at the end of two
weeks and no price would be quoted
until the paper was delivered.
One paper house gives the follow
ing explanation: ''We are using
about ten per cent more paper every
day than is being manufactured in
this country. Unfortunately two
or three large mills are going to
discontinue print paper to engage
in the manufacture of higher priced
paper. Still more unfortunate are
the food conditions in Wisconsin,
which has shut down several of the
print mills, so there is almost a
famine on print paper at this mo-
ment.
The prices on job printing will
necessarily have to be raised in the
same ratio as the advance in price
of paper. 1t is a question whether
the war prices are going to be
particularly beneficial to the people
in general. If everything is going
up in price. where is the gain?

KENDR|CK CREAMERY
INCREASES OUTPUT
The Business is in a Flourish
ing Condition

w. S. MacCloy, who promoted
and sold stock in the Kendrick Co.
operative Creamery last spring, was
a visitor in Kendrick Monday. He
came here for the purpose of in
vestigating the condition of the
plant and reports that out OF
the fourteen creameries that he has
established during the past year,
the one in Kendrick has made by
far the best progress. Mr.. Mac
Cloy was more than pleased with
the output of the creamery and
said that the increase from 160
pounds a week to 1900 pounds a
week within one year was very en-
couraging.
Mr.. MacCloy advises grading the
cream so that bitter cream or a
quality high in bacteria might be
docked a cent pound. This would
be an incentive to the producer to
send a good grade into the creamery
in order to take advantage of the
higher price. He said the quality
of butter being made here was good
but that by using the moisture test
an increase might be made in the
amount of water and salt used. The
law allows 16 per cent moisture and
a per cent salt while the local pro-
duct has tested IA per cent mois-
ture and 2 per cent salt.
He believes that more attention
should be paid by the farmers to
the value of buttermilk as feed for
pigs and chickens. At the price
that this by-product may be secured,
it is very cheap feed and produces
great results when fed with grain
or in connection with green feed.
Mr.. MacCloy states emphatically
that before the dairy business ir
the Potlatch will produce the ma,
imum of profit, silos must be built
He is a practical dairy man and has
made success of the business 81
that his suggestions should carr!
, weight. The farmers who have
built silos on their farms in thi
vicinity are we'll pleased with th'
results attained. They are nj
longer an experiment but rea
practical, money-making investmen
and every farmer who keeps a few
r hogs and two or three head o
1 cattle can get big returns from tn
S money invested in a silo.

Soon Finish Troy Line

The poles for the power line be-
tween Kendrick and Troy have all
been raised and work will begin
Monday stringing the wires. 1t is
only a matter of a few days now
until Troy and Kendrick will both
be getting light and power from
the Potlatch Electric Company's
plant.
All the business houses that are
wired are being connected up .anc
there will probably be night ser.
vice only until Troy is connected
and then night and day service will
be a regular thing.

Squirrels Doomed

A squirrel drive extending over
a period of two days will be held in
the vicinity of Moscow. The dates
will probably be Sunday and Mon
day, May 81 and %. Two days are
selected so that those who do not
care to join the hunt on Sunday,
will have a chance the following
day. The guns will be 20 calibre
rifles and to get credit the body Of
the squirrel must be brought in to
exhibit to the judges. Sides will
be chosen and the losing side will
banquet the winners.

Bechtol Installs Machine

Elmer Bechtol has installed
band-saw, sanding machine, rip-saw
and mitre machine in the back of
his store. This machinery will all
be run by power and will enable the
Kendrick Furniture Co., to turn out
a much larger amount of work than
before. Mr.. Bechtol is working up
reputation on his shop made furni-
ture and the increasing demand for
it made it necessary for him to in
stall the machinery.
