There Was an Old Geezer

There was an old geezer and he
had lot of sense. He started up a
business on dollar eighty cents. The
dollar for stock and the 80 for an
ad, brought him three lovely dollars
in a day, by dad! Well, he bought
more goods and little more space,
and he played that system with
smile on his face. The customers
flocked to his two-by-four, and soon
he had to hustle for a regular store.
Up on the square, where the people
pass, he gobbled up corner that was
all plate glass. He fixed up the win
dows with the best that he had. and
told them all about it in half page
ad. He soon had 'em coming and he
never, never quit, and he wouldn' t
cut down on his ads, one jit. And he's
kept things humming in the town
ever since, and everybody calls him
the Merchant Prince. Some say it
luck, but that's all bunk-why he
was doing business when the times
were punk! People have to purchase
and Geezer was wise-for he knew
the way to get 'em was to advertise
Elk.

Mrs. G. G.. Oldfeld entertained a
large number of their Kendrick
friends at their new residence on

celebration of their tenth wedding
anniversary and the evening was
appropriately started off by the
host, who kindled the hearth-fire

BUSINESS MEN
DEFEAT JUL|AETTA
Score Stood 16 to 4 at The
End of The Game

The Kendrick business mems team
proved to be too much for the Julia
eta business men in the game
played here last Friday. Kendrick
won an easy victory by score of
16 to 4. The game was a surprise
to everybody on account of the few
errors made. The week of practice
indulged in by the Kendrick team
brought good results in the i'm
proved manner of play.
Manager Wilcox pulled off some
grand plays on second base which
were the feature of the game. He
was also one of the heavy hitters.
Watts played good game on first
base but that was expected as he is
a real ball player. The out field
played the entire game without an
error.
Juliaetta had good bunch of.
ball players but they showed lack
of practice and were most too fat
to play ball on day when the
thermometer registered one hun
dred in the shade. Rodgers, the
right fielder was the biggest man
on either team and if size had any
thing to do with it, he ought to
have won the game all by himself.
Fox, Semmes and Odem pitched
for Juliaetta and Ed Petrick caught.
Knepper pitched and Thomas caught
for Kendrick. Kendrick played
Thomas. Watts, Wilcox, Flo, Patton,
Dunkle, Porter, Compton, Woody
and Knepper. Juliaetta had the
following men in the game: Petrick,
Fox, Rodgers, Odem, Lintch, Kite,
Jordan, Pepple, Semmes, Gullidge.
Stuart Compton and Talbot UNI
pired.

BIG CELEBRATION
ATWATER LAKE
Will Last Two Days = July
3 and 4

n there is to be a big celebration
IN Atwater lake the 3rd and 4th of
July. The lake is beautiful place
for a celebration having many
natural advantages to make it a
delightful spot to spend a few days
of rest and enjoyment.
There will be no admission
charged at the grounds. Every
body is welcome to camp on the
grounds absolutely free and every
thing will be done to make the time
spent very enjoyable one.
Ball games. dancing, fishing,
boating and many other attractions
are being planned to furnish amuse-
ment for the crowd. A bowery is
to be erected and dancing may be
indulged in during the afternoon
and evening of both days.
Those who do not take their
lunches will be able to get meals
at reasonable rates as there are to
be a number of lunch stands on the
grounds. 1t has been proposed by
the management to provide tents
for campers which can be rented
for the use of those who wish to
stay all night but do not care to
bother with camping outfit. If
this plan is carried out it will no
doubt bring a number who would
not otherwise be present as the ex-
pense of going and coming to and
from the. lake every day would be
more than renting tent.
The celebration will no doubt
bring a number of people from
distance as the idea of camping out
on the lake shore will be big
drawing card.

KENDR|CK FAIR
SEASON TICKETS
Fair Association Now Rails.
ing Funds

The Kendrick Fair Association
has had season tickets printed and
they are to be sold at fifty cents
each. Anyone interested in promot-
ing the fair should invest in tic
ket right now as it gives the
management better opportunity to
size up the support that may be
expected this fall.
This fair is not a local affair
entirely, it is to be given by Ken
drick and the surrounding country
and every farmer who has any
money invested in the Potlatch
ought to feel a proprietary interest
in the success Of it. Last year the
fair was a success in every way and
there is no reason why this year it
may not be even better.
A number of the business men
have taken rs tickets-bought them
outright and are going to dispose
of them. 1t is up to everybody now
to possess one. Ask any business
man in town and he will see that
you are provided with as many
tickets as you want at fifty cents
each.
In order to get twenty-five in the
hands of lucky purchasers at the
earliest possible time, the Gazette
will give ticket to any back sub
scriber who is year or more in
arrears, providing he comes in anc
pays his subscription to date. This
offer is good until after the4th o1
July.
The money derived from the sale
of the tickets is to be used for fenc
ing the fair grounds and for putt
ing up buildings for the livestock
and exhibits. With an equipmen
of this kind the fair can be put OF
a permanent basis. 1t is the objec
of the Association to sell a thousant
tickets. 1t can be done if every
body will help.

Powers of County Boards

In decision handed down by
Judge Edgar C. Steele in the dis
trict court, the court holds that
power to abolish road districts was
matter purely in the discretion
of the board of county commission
ers and that the court shouldn't
reverse the action of the board un-
less there was an abuse of that
discretion.
No abuse was found in the case
of the Potlatch Lumber company
versus the board Of county COM
missioners, evidence of which was
introduced during the present term
which the plaintiff sought to have
the court recind the action of the
board in abolishing road district
No. 2 and including it within the
boundaries of district in which
the town of Potlatch is located.
The board abolished the district so
that there would be more taxable
property so that the people would
have more special taxes for the un-
keep of the roads. The Potlatch
Lumber company appealed from
the action of the board.-Star- Mir
row.

No Trace Of Convicts

Winchester, June 20.-The escap-
ed convicts from the honor camp at
Whitebird, James E. Davis and
George Smead, have not been heard
from since they entered the store of
the Stevens Mercantile company
Saturday night and supplied them
selves with provisions for several
days.
Stormy weather has prevailed on
the mountain since early Sunday and
the view is held the men are in hid
ing in one of the many abandoned
buildings of the mountain country.
Abandoned houses and outbuildings,
erected dy homesteaders who have
since sold their lands to the Craig
Mountain Lumber company, are
found in all sections of the surround
ing country and many of these build.
ings are favorably located on the
breaks of the canyons or in gulches
so that the convicts could easily make
their getaway unobserved in the
event anyone approached their hid
ing place. 1t is stated the supple.
taken from the Stevens store will bt
sufficient to last the men for the
greater part of the week.
