Received a Fine Hereford

August Schroeder, the well
known cattle breeder, received a
fine purebred registered Here
ford bull calf the first of the
week from a big Hereford breed
er in Kentucky and took it out to
his farm east of the city. The
calf was only five months old but
tipped the beam at 80 pounds
and cost its owner the neat sum
of $3.50. The animal comes from
ne>of the finest herds of Here
ford cattle in the Uuited States
and was selected for Mr.. Schroe-
der by Mr.. Kinzer, who is recog-
nized as an authority on beef cat
tie in this country.
Mr.. Schroeder already owns
some of the best stock in the
Hereford class in the northwest
and has added to his herd by
frequent purchases from the
leading eastern breeders, and the
addition of the animal just re-
ceived gives him some of the
choicest blood lines in the entire
country. That his stock is bred
in the purple is shown by the
fact that he has twice won the
prize for the carload lot of fat
steers exhibited at the North
west Livestock show at Lewiston
against the strongest kind of
competition.
Besides selling stock for breed
ing purposes, Mr.. Schroeder
finds there is better money in
raising purebreds for market for
the reason that they always COM
mand better prices for beef than
the poorer quality animals, to
say nothing of the pleasure de-
rived from growing the best to
be grown in the beef type of cat
tie.
We predict that within a few
years the Schroeder herd OF
Herefords will be known all over
the Pacific slope as containing
the finest to be had in the breed
ing line, both for utility and
show ring purposes.

Printer Takes to Farming

George Rustemeyer, who has
been the efficient foreman of
this Office for the past several
years, has decided to turn his
attention to the job of making
two stalks of grain to grow
where only one grew before and
will leave after this week to take
up his new occupation on the
Moynagh ranch northeast of
Greencreek, to which place his
family moved yesterday. We
sincerely hope he may find life
among the grain fields entirely
to his liking and that providence
may smile down upon him and
cause his crops to yield a hun
dred fold. His place in the
Chronicle Office will be filled by
]. G. Ruggles, of Peck, an ex-
perienced newspaper man, who
was formerly employed for sew
eral years at Moscow and later
held down a homestead on the
Joseph.

Salmon Gives Up It's Dead

Word was received yesterday
from Grangeville that the body
of Bosco Kane, who was drowned
in Salmon river near Whitebird
last Christmas, had been found
that morning near the Lyons
ferry below Whitebird. The body
was in a bad state of preservation
and could only be identified by
the clothing and dental work on
the teeth. The body was taken
to Whitebird and buried soon
afterward.
1t will be remembered that the
Kane brothers were drowned in
the Salmon last Christmas while
they and companion were ford
ing the stream on their way
home. One of the Kane boys,
who was riding mule, got into
deep water and his brother went
to his rescue and both were
drowned. AS the bodies did not
rise to the surface a watch has
been kept on the stream for the
past several months and at vari-
GUS times reports have been made
that the bodies had been seen
going down the stream. The
carcass of the mule was recently
located near Riparia but nothing
has been seen of the remains of
the drowned men until the dis
covery yesterday. Now that one
of the bodies has been recovered
the other may be located, while
on the other hand it may have
gone down the stream weeks ago
and found its way into the Col
umbia and thence to the sea.

Family Was Provided For


Ira Smith, district game war
den, returned last week from a
trip up the Middle Fork. going
up there to look into the alleged
violation of the game laws. He
found there was nothing to JUS
tify the story. On his way out
he travelled with a party from
Kooskia who had been sent in to
look after Mrs. Martin and an
eleven months old child who were
reported in destitute conditions.
However, such did not prove to
be fact, it seems the husband
in place of deserting the family
as was reported, had at the urg-
ent suggestion of his wife, left
earlier in the season for Northern
Idaho to work during the winter
and help things along, leaving
ample supplies of food and fuel
for his family and making ar
rangements on his way out for
parties to go in later on and
bring out the family. The wo-
man and child were brought out
by the party and withstood the
seventy-fve mile trip fine. Free

Kidnapping at Grangeville

Quite an exciting kidnapping
occurred last Friday at Grange
vile when Mrs. S. ]. Warren ap-
peared in the city in an auto,
picked up her child as it was
playing in the yard of Fred Kars-
ten, fled into the country for sew
eral miles in the car and then
changed to horseback and went
on to Sites, leaving the next
morning with the child for Spo-
kane. At Arrow junction an
officer served a summons on the
lady requiring the appearance of
herself and the child in court and
they were taken on to Lewiston
where the little boy was placed
in the Children's Home until such
time as the case can be heard in
court. Warren who is brakeman
on the local railway, is estranged
from his wife and divorce pro-
ceedings are now pending in the
superior court at Spokane. The
father had the boy at the Kars-
ten home in Grangeville where
the mother went to secure him,
hoping to keep the child in her
possession until such time as the
court decided with which parent
the child should be left.

Was An Expensive Winter

Charlie Albin left yesterday
for his home on Rapid river above
Pollock after spending several
days in the city visiting with old
friends. Charlie said the white
fish are biting fine now in the
Little Salmon and he wanted to
get home and see if one wouldn't
jump out on the bank at him and
give him an excuse to hit it with
a club in self defense, even if
April is a closed month Of fishing.
Speaking of stock conditions up
the river, Charlie said the Holt &
Rhoades firm came through the
winter in fine shape and with
very little loss, but it was princi-
pally due to the large amount of
feed they had on hand. The past
few winters have been very light
and little feeding was required
and as a consequence they had
almost four years hay crop on
hand, which put them through
the winter in fine shape. How
ever, they figure the hay fed and
the cost of feeding would easily
total SIS, 800, which is rather an
expensive winter even for a large
firm.

DAIRYING PAYS
BIG RETURNS
Western Washington Farmers
Secure Large Profits From
Dairying and COOPERATIVE
Credmeries.

The following article regarding
dairying in western Washington
should prove of interest to oul
readers at this time and, while
this section cannot compare with
the Whatcom county dairy sec.
tions, if dairying can be made q
leading industry there we can
see no reason why it cannot be-
come valuable adjunct to gen.
eral farming here if given a fair
trial. The article follows.
The man with a few good dairy
cows and industry and patience to
bring their producing capacity up
to the highest point is sure of a
good income when he sends his
cream to the creamery. But when
he goes farther and becomes a
cooperative partner i n t h e
creamery he does better, as has
been shown on more than one oc-
casion in these columns. Of
course every cooperative cream
cry does not prove a financial
success, but where the conditions
are right and the management of
the factory is in honest, business
like hands, the cream check gen.
erally proves that this kind of CO.
operation pays.
There are many cooperative
creameries in the Pacific north
west. One that is well to the
fore is the Lynden creamery, To-
Gated in the little town of Lyn-
den, Whatcom county, Wash, in
one of the finest dairy sections in
the entire northwest. The Nook
sack valley, as it is known, is a
fairly broad, level section adapt
ed particularly to dairying. 1t
has been settled largely by thrift
ty Dutch people and Scandi-
navians, and there is scarcely one
farm that lacks its quota of dairy
cows. The Lynden creamery
was established in 1902 and has
had an almost uninterrupted
growth ever since. H. Elenbaas,
the manager states that the cur
rent years product will amount
to over a million pounds of butter,
and this in spite of the fact that
there are eight creameries and
two large condenseries within a
radius of fifteen miles of Lynden.
One of the competing creameries
is in Lynden itself.
The Lynden creamery is con-
Quoted on strictly cooperative
principles, with the result that
the patrons have saved to them
selves over $25,O00 this year
above what the average indi-
vidually owned creamery or CEN
tralizer is paying for the cream
it secures. The Lynden cream
cry, nearly always able to pay its
patrons two or three cents more
for their butterfat tina n could be
secured in the larger cities, such
as Seattle and others. At pres
ent butterfat is being quoted in
Seattle at 33c, while the Lynden
creamery has been paying more
than 36c for six or seven weeks
past.
Where the interest in dairying
is, from force of circumstances,
so intense as in the Nooksack
valley, it naturally follows that
the quality of the average herd
of cows is high. In this section
the Holsteins and Jerseys are
everywhere to be seen, with
numbers of Guernseys and Ayr
shires proving a pleasant con-
trast here and there. The COM
mon scrub finds no favor among
the dairymen in the Nooksack
valley.-Washington F m
Nov. Is, 1915.
