A Suggestion

Why wouldn't it pay to keep a
man on each one of the grades
during the bad weather--a track
walker" so to speak. This is done
on one of the long grades leading
out of Juliaetta and those who have
occasion to travel this grade say
it is in the best condition of any in
the Potlatch canyon. During the
unusually rainy weather we have
been having, the water follows the
wheel tracks for many rods and
washes deep ruts in the road. No
matter how well the road has been
graded the water will follow the
wheel tracks unless it is turned out
of the road at the time when the
rains occur.

CIVIC DAY DINNER
TO Be ON APRIL 5TH.
Have You Forgotten About
This?

Of course you haven't! April 5th
is the day the ladies of the Ken
drick Study Club serve tea and
dinner at Mrs. Groves home. From
2 to 5 P. M. tea and cake can be
had for ten cents; and, from 5 to 7
P. M. a delicious dinner, entirely
home cooked will be served for
twenty-five cents. The Study Club
boasts a large number of Hendricks s
best cooks, so come and sample
their wares.
During the evening the following
program will be given:
Music, Male Quartette; Selected
Reading. Miss Hoyt; Music, "Old
Black Joe" and Goodbye, Sweet
heart, Goodbye" Boys Quartette;
Selected Reading, Elvira Atchison
Negro Melodies, Banjo accompani-
ment). Mr.. Gibbs; Selected Read
ing. 10 Guy.
The decoration committee have
been very secretive about their de-
corations so we are assured that
they must have a delightful sur
prise for you all.
AS April 5th is Civic Day, the
proceeds 60 toward some civic i'm
provement. Kendrick offers an un-
limited field to choose from; but,
from amidst its wide assortment,
one of immediate need is a combina-
tion rest and reading room with, of
course, library. Accordingly the
ladies have decided to give the
money received on Civic Day as a
nest-egg towards a library fund.
Now, the ladies can't do it all. A
library. more than any other in
stitution must be community
affair. So it is up to every citizen,
old or young, to determine whether
it shall be humming- birds nest
egg or an ostrich's. Then let's not
stop, weary of we'll doing; but keep
on until it matches and the Ken
drick Library will no longer be an
unrealized ambition but an accom-
plished reality.

RURAL MAIL CARRIER
HAS GOOD RECORD
Completes Twelve Years of
Service on Route

April l. 1916, j. l. Mitcham will
have completed twelve years of
service out of Kendrick on route
one. During all these years he has
never missed trip, except on his
vacations, and has never turned
back on account of bad weather
conditions. Mr.. Mitcham has lived
in and around Kendrick for nearly
a third ola century-to be exact
thirty-two years last February. He
has always been a loyal Potlatcher
and has always kept Hendricks in
terests in the foreground.
Next Friday, April Z, Mr.. Nit
chem will be sixty-seven years old
and he is apparently good for at
least twelve more years of service
on the American ridge mail route.
He has done his work thoroughly,
as all the patrons on his route will
cheerfully testify.
He has kindly furnished the
Gazette with the following figures,
which will give a general idea of
the work he has accomplished. After
deducting Sundays and all legal
holidays, we find that he has carried
the mail three thousand six hundred
and eighty-four days. He has
travelled sixty-three thousand six
hundred and twenty-eight miles.
He has distributed and collected
five hundred and four thousand
pieces of mail and issued four thou
sand three hundred and twenty
money orders. This is certainly
some record and we hope Mr.. Nit
cham will continue his route many
more years and increase the above
figures materially.

AGRICULTURAL CLUBS
BEING FORMED HERE
Meeting Held in Schoolhouse
Tuesday Evening

A meeting was held in Kendrick
at the high school auditorium,
Tuesday evening, for the purpose
of organizing boys and girls agri-
cultural clubs. This work. in Ida
no, is carried on by the Extension
Department of the University of
Idaho. with the help and coopera-
tion of the U. s. Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. c..
The clubs in each county are under
the immediate supervision of the
county superintendent.
T. w. Potter, County Superinten-
dent Dryden, and Miss Elizabeth
Harcourt, of Lewiston, conducted
the meeting here. The work will
be taken up in this district at once.
Prof. Best and N. B. Long are
greatly interested and with the CO.
operation of the teachers and
parents of Kendrick the work will
no doubt be a success.
The object of the work is to
interest boys and girls in the study
Of agriculture and home economics;
teach them to be producers and
business managers and give them
much needed practical education
along with their book learning. 1t
gives them a better idea of rural
life and rural pursuits and will
help them to improve conditions in
the community in which they live.
The organization of the club is
simple. Five or more boys or girls
between the ages Of ten and eight
cen years, who will sign the pledge
and comply with the requirements,
may select a project and form a
club. From their own number they
select president and secretary to
serve for one year. The club secre-
tary makes out the enrolment
register in triplicate and forwards
all to the University Extension De-
partment, Boise, Idaho, at which
office. one copy is retained, one is
sent to the County Superintendent,
and one to the Department at
Washington, D. C.
The club work has been a great
success all over the state and the
interest is increasing. In Idaho
alone the boys and girls clubs pro-
duced $49.33O.

"Dust of the Earth"

The home talent play given last
FRIDAY night for the benefit of the
Presbyterian church was pleasant
surprise for those present. The
audience was expecting something
good and their expectations were
much more than realized. The
twelve characters who made up the
caste, all did so we'll that it would
be hard to say who were the stars.
Miss Agnes Grice, however, handled
her part in such a delightfully."-
pleasing manner, that she is prob
ably deserving of special mention.
She certainly displayed unusual
talent.
Those who took part in the play
wish to thank Mrs. A. R. Shumaker
and Mrs. A. w. Patton for their
kind assistance.
The receipts for the evening
amounted to about thirtv-five
dollars and would have been much
more had the weather been favor
able.

GRAIN ELEVATOR FOR
THE CAMAS PRAIRIE
Decision of Farmers Who
Met at Nezperce.

Grain elevators to handle the
crops in bulk will be erected at all
points on the prairie where ware
houses now are used. This was the
decision of the farmers who met at
Nez Perce last Saturday afternoon.
The matter has been under discus
sion for several weeks and definite
decision was reached at the meet
ing Saturday which was largely
attended.
The information brought out at
the meeting is that the present
price of grain bags is fifteen cents
and dealers will not contract to
supply the bags necessary to handle
the 1916 crop even at that price.
This condition forced the farmers
to resort to the elevator plan, and
it is stated there will be no delay
in the matter of beginning the con-
struction work.
The plan outlined is that gran
aries will be erected by farmers on
the farms and in some instances
granaries will be built by the far
mers adjoining the elevator build
ings and connections made so that
the grain can be handled at any
time. The grain will be stored in
the farm elevators at the time of
threshing and in cases where gran
aries have been erected in connec-
tion with the elevator, a portion of
the crop will be moved to the
shipping point. These farmers will
aim to have about one-half their
crop in readiness for immediate
delivery in order that they may
take advantage of the best markets.
When the granaries at the elevators
are emptied the remainder of the
crop will be moved in.
1t is stated a large number of
the farmers have placed their or
ders for the materials necessary TO
erect the farm granaries and the
construction of these buildings will
be commenced as soon as the spring
work has been completed.

NEzPERCE INDIANS
HOLD INSTITUTES
To Prepare Indians For End
of Trust Period

superintendent Theodore Sharp,
of the Nez Perce Indian Agency,
and other officials of the Indian
service, were in Nez Perce Friday
conducting an institute for Indians
at the government school. An in
stitute was held at Sites on Wednes-
day, Kooskia Thursday and Nez
Perce Friday. The one held Friday
will close the institute work for the
year with the exception of meet
ing to be arranged for Ahsahka for
some later date.
The officials have organized their
work with view of preparing the
Nez Perce Indians for the expira-
tion of the trust period after which
they will be thrown upon their own
resources. The Indians are being
taught how to farm their land, how
to successfully handle livestock, how
to grow and care for fruit, how to
raise their families and how to
handle their own business affairs.
The institute work was inaugurated
on the Nez Perce reservation about
four years ago and the efforts of
the officials have been highly salts
factory.
The Institutes have brought about
marked improvement about the
Indian homes, have induced large
number to engage in the farming
of their lands and has aroused a
desire to become efficient in the
many duties incident to successful
farm operation. At the Sites meet
ing, there were more than so in
attendance, an equal number at
tended the Kooskia meeting and
more than IS Indian men and women
gave the speakers the closest at
tention at the meeting held at Nez
Perce. Prominent Indians were
speakers on the program at Kooskia
and Kamiah and at the former place
boys and girls corn and poultry
club for Indian children was or
ganized with a membership of 12.
The officials are not only teaching
the men but they are also instruct
ing the women and they have found
the latter very apt pupils. The
talks to the women deal with the
care of their babies, the care of
their homes, the preparation and
protection of their foods, the cann-
ing of fruits and vegetables and
the preserving of sanitary conditions
about their homes.
