Result of Council Meeting

At meeting of the Village
Council held at the town hall Tues
day evening, it was definitely decid-
ed to call bond election to give
the citizens of Kendrick an oppor-
tunity to vote for or against the
proposition of buying the Potlatch
Water & Power system, now owned
by DR.. ]. 4. Moser.
The bond election will be held at
the regular town election, Tuesday,
April "a. This will save the ex-
pense of calling a special election
and will also contribute interest
enough to bring out a goodly num-
ber of voters to decide on the WILL
age trustees for the ensuing term.
A committee appointed two
weeks ago to investigate the condi-
tion of the system, reported favor
ably at the meeting Tuesday night.
The village trustees are all in favor
of buying the plant. They have
given the matter careful considera-
tion and believe that in the course
of few years, without any addi-
tional taxes on property owners of
Kendrick, the bonds can be paid off
and the water rates placed at a
minimum cost.
1t will require a two-thirds ma
jority to carry the bond election.
This ought to be safe margin on
which to decide the merits of the
proposed purchase. Those who are
interested either for or against the
bonds, will have ample time to
state their views during the next
five weeks. AS it is matter of
Importance to every citizen of
Kendrick, it would seem to be no
more than just for everyone to
take an interest in the matter and
by so doing, take some of the re-
sponsibility from the village board.
The Village trustees are going to
purchase new fire hose and the
necessary couplings to make it of
service in case of fire. A fire brig
ade will be organized so that during
the coming dry season Kendrick
will not be without fire protection.

Clearwater Highway

At an adjourned session of the
board of county commissioners held
at Orofino Thursday special elec-
tion was called for March "a to
vote upon the question of creating
the Clearwater highway district,
which will include the entire county
of Clearwater except five townships
embraced in the Pierce highway
district, created three years ago.
The action of the board was in
response to petitions signed by a
majority of the taxpayers from
many parts of the county, the OBJ
ject of the movement being to lay
the foundation for bonding the
county in the sum of $400, 900 later
for road purposes.
If the question of creating the
new highway district is voted upon
favorably the governor will appoint
the three highway commissioners
who will call the bond election.

Melrose Highway District

The Nez Perce board of county
commissioners Tuesday fixed March
81 as the date for an election to au-
thorize the creation of the Melrose
good highway district, the petition
filed recently by 65 property own
ers having upon examination been
found to be in regular form. 1t
was disclosed that the petitioners
represented 5000 acres of land, or
more than one-tenth of the total
area of land in the district. The
total area is 80, 700 acres.
In the order calling the election
two voting precincts are created,
the polling places to be at Melrose
and Chesley, and the precincts will
conform in boundaries to the pres
ent Melrose and Chesley precincts,
that is, embracing all the territory
of those precincts within the dis
trict.

The program and supper given
by the school last Friday evening
were, in themselves a success; but
the latter, in it's larger purpose,
was not successful. No complaint
can be made on the quantity or the
quality of the superior all per-
sons present were Yankees in the
opportunity to devour the baked
beans and the pumpkin pie; never
theless, our reasonable expectations
of support were not met. The aim
was to raise enough money to pay
off the basketball deJt. The pat
ronage of the supper was sufficient
to get rid of only lesser part of
the debt. We are grateful to those
of our friends who did patronize
the supper; to those who did not,
we say-you missed something.
The literary program was first
class. The music was much en-
joyed.
We are proud of our Boys Quar-
tet. To be called back three times
at Moscow is no small honor.
We are proud of our contestants
in the county spelling contest.

made us an earned name.

Standardizing Idaho Spuds

To establish uniform standard
for Idaho potatoes; to secure infor-
nation as to crop conditions over
the whole country for dissemina-
tion among potato growers; to cor
rect the nomenclature of the pota-
toes of the state many varieties of
which are at present unnamed; and
to secure the general cooperation
among the growers of the state to
the end of improving and advertis-
ing the Idaho potato industry
these are the objects of the Idaho
Potato Growers association recent
ly organized through the work of
the extension department of the
university. An invitation is extend
ed all growers to become members
of the association. Information
may be received from E. R. Bennett,
secretary.
ldaho's geographical location is
such that the crop must be hauled
"a long way to get into the great
potato markets of the country, says
a bulletin issued by the extension
department and the United States
department of agriculture. This
does not mean that Idaho cannot
pgofitably produce potatoes for out
side markets, or compete with other
states in those markets, but it does
mean that good quality potatoes
only must be grown and shipped in
to the distant markets if we are to
maintain and develop our industry.

Train Kills Two Deer

Engineer Tom Brown of the w.
l. & M. bagged two deer Saturday
in an unique manner, says the Pa
louise Republic. He was making
his afternoon passenger run from
Bovill to Palouse, and when near
Yale station sighted two deer on
the track ahead of the train. The
deer made no effort to leave the
track. and were bumped by the
cow catcher, both being killed.
They were put on the train and
brought to Potlatch, where they
were dressed and divided among
the train crew.
The snow is deep along the W. l.
& M. from Potlatch east and it is
supposed the animals were follow
ing the railroad track to avoid the
deep snow. Both were in good
condition and made excellent meat.

Sturdevant Buys Planer

Tom Sturdevant bought planer
which he will install in his lumber
yard. 1t is a larger machine than
the one he has been using, having a
capacity of from fifteen to twenty
five thousand feet. Instead of hav-
ing the lumber planed at the Cedar
Creek mills and then hauled to his
yard, he will have it brought down
in the rough and plane it in his
yard. This will giev him a better
chance to grade the lumber and
will also prevent it from becoming

Michael Angelo

On Thursday, our foremost son
of Erin, G. G. Oldfeld to be still
more explicit, feeling the effects of
the warm, spring sunshine and
smelling the tang of summer on
Our cool mountain air, remembered
the fast approaching date of his
country's patron saint. He realized
that it would be useless for him to
attempt the culture of glorious
f1ower-pot of Shamrocks, for the
time was too short for their growth.
In desperation, he racked his brain
for an idea upon which to build a
suitable memorial to the memory of
so great and good a man as ST..
Patrick As he was about to give
up in his efforts to do justice to his
idolized countryman, his vision was
obstructed by the unpainted front
of his new place of business.
At the hardware store he fever
ishly demanded paint and brush
and returned to the palace of jew
els to decorate it in a way that
would bring him honorable mention
in all social gatherings of the A. O.
HIS. and sure recognition in the art
galleries of old Paree. For a full
fifteen minutes, he labored strenu-
ously and then stepped back to sur
vey his maiden efforts with the
camels-hair. He was astounded
and terrified! He was amazed
Instead of converting that beloved
store-front into an emerald produc-
tion destined to glorify the re-
nowned Celt forever, he had trans.
formed it into the everlasting ad.

Permanent High Prices

The really serious menace in the
present high prices is the prediction
by many that they are to stay. Or.
at least, that prices generally will
never again descend to the standard
of year or two ago.
This, they say, is due not alone
to the war, but to insufficient pro-
duction. mainly of food supplies.
The city population increases much
faster in proportion than the rural.
Hence the only remedy is'depop-
ulating the cities and increasing the
number of farmers, or farm product
producers.
The farmers will thus constitute
the aristocracy of the future. He
is the producer who will have infn-
itely more to sell than he needs to
buy.
Forests are being cut down much
faster than grown. Hence a dimin-
ished lumber supply and higher
price of building material. Not
enough cattle are being raised to
supply leather for the knee boots
women now demand and shoes are
to be permanently higher.
Until the European war began,
higher prices generally prevailed in
this country than in any other.
And now prospects are all prices
are to. be on a vastly higher basis.
This country has more wealth than
any other, more millionaires than
other, more opportunity for finan-
cial advancement than any other.
The fight for the survival of the
fittest is to be intensified.
To exist the wage Garner must
have increased wages. The employ
er must have increased prices for
his goods. Those who cannot pro-
cure a higher price or higher wages
or higher income will be crowded
to the wall. Hence the safest busi-
ness is to be a producer of necessi-
ties. This seems good time to
quit the newspaper business and go
to raising potatoes.

A Lively Function

Every once in while, of Sat-
turday night during the winter,
when the presiding elder is about
due or there is something else spec
ial on hand, we hold right lively
function at our house, when our
fourteen children take a bath in a
tub beside the kitchen stove,"' con-
fessed Mr.. Gap Johson of Rumpas
Ridge, Ark. "They sorter divide
up in punches, the big boys in one
squad, the big girls in another, and
the little boys and little girls in
their respective classes. When they
have all jawed themselves into their
own gangs there is a deafening ran
nakaboo over which squad shall hit
the tub first. each bunch, mindful
of the trials and tribulations before
'em, argying that they ort to come
last. After about an hour of jow-
ering, business begins.
None of 'em are presizely quiet
about it, but pears like the little
boys have the most fun. But, any,
how, all the evening the house
shakes and rattles with the shivers
of them that are bathing, them
that have just bathed and them
that are anticipating the holocaust,
till an innocent bystander would
imagine that an earthquake was
being pulled off. And the yelling
and cussing and complaining can be
heard for half a quarter up and
down the road on a still. cold night.
Eh-yah !-cleanliness is next to god

painful. ."-Ex.

Nez Perce Poor Farm

The commissioners of Nez Perce
county have under advisement the
purchase of the well-known Arthur
B. Hinman place for use as a county
poor farm, as the result of the filing
Wednesday of the report of the ap-
praisers-C. A. Hastings of Lewis
J ton, Roy G. Lane of Lapwal and C.
F. Hersey of Lenore-appointed
Monday to inspect the tracts offered
by bid, these proposals being six
teen in number. Upon receiving
the appointment the appraisers i'm
mediately commenced their work.
The report was to the effect that
the place could be purchased for
$4,000. $433.33 less than the value
fixed by the appraisers.
The Hinman place, which is To-
Gated five miles east of Lewiston on
the south side of the Clearwater,
has for years been known, as one of
the finest fruit ranches in the en-
tire northern section of the state, a
factor of essential Importance being
that it is located on the Northern
Pacific railroad and is served by
eight passenger trains daily. The
entire tract embodies 252 acres, of
which forty-seven acres comprise
bottom land, this latter area accom-
modating ten acres of orchard and
vineyard, the cherry paintings be-
ing considered one of the best in
the valley. Of the remaining acre
age. 2O5 acres comprise hillside
grazing land. The farm extends to
the Clearwater, and occupies a
picturesque and sheltered location.
The farm is splendidly improved
with buildings and all equipment
necessary for handling the place in
the orchading and general farming
lines. There are two dwellings on
the place, one recently built and
comprising six rooms, two closets,
bath and two sleeping porches.
The second dwelling comprises four
rooms. There is bunkhouse,
24x32 feet in dimensions, and a
concrete cellar; a packing shed,
woodshed, two barns, two poultry
houses and steam pumping plant.
In addition to these improvements
there is represented in personal
property and livestock, values
reaching 81 1926. Three horses
and two Jersey cows are included.
Statement is made that at one time
the Hinman place was listed for
sale at $4,000. A feature of the
. situation that is inclined to infu-
ence favorable consideration on the
part of the commissioners is that
the farm, with practically no fur
ther improvements, would now be
able to accommodate the indigents,
