A wrestling match is scheduled
for tomorrow night between George
Lambert and Charles Wilson of
Lewiston. Lambert and Wilson
wrestled here few weeks ago to a
thirty-minute draw. The two men
are very evenly matched and the
event will no doubt draw a large
crowd. It will be held at the
Grand Theatre. Mielke and Cham
berlain are billed for q preliminary
match to take place before the
main event.
If Lambert throws Wilson tomor-
row night, it is quite likely that he
will meet Thye here at an early

Lapwai District Bonds Sold

Tuesday the Lapwai Valley high
way district received at sale at
Lewiston of an issue of $3.50, 900 of
five-percent bonds a premium of
SO, ,135, the sale marking the best
figure for and issue of purely rural
highway bonds ever received in
Idaho. The premium secured
makes the rate of interest equiva-
lent to about 4.7O per cent.
The selling Of the bonds now
places the district in condition to
meet any requirements of the state
department in relation to the con-
strGction Of the state highway
through the district. The present
assessed valuation of the highway
district is about $1,700,0OO. In
five years, with the expiration of
the period Of the patents held in
trust, vast tracts of Indian lands
within the district will be added to
this valuation, bringing the total
up to about $4,OOO,0OO.

Admiral Dewey Dead

p Admiral Dewey, the nations
Spanish war hero and by priority of
grade the ranking officer of the
world, died at his home in Wash
ington, Tuesday, in his 80th year. A
general breakdown accompanied by
arterio sclerosis incident to old age
was the cause of his death. The
disease had been gradually spread
ing its hold upon the powerful
body for a year and half, but the
admiral. proud of his physical Wig
or, had fought it off and even kept
its existence a secret from most of
his intimate friends. Last week on
Wednesday he was at his Office ap.
parently hale and hearty. The
next day he collapsed as he was
preparing to leave the house, anc
the beginning of the end was al
hand.

Examination Center Here

1t was decided that the expense
to the county would not justify an
examination center at Kendrick
this time as only three pupils were
reported ready and they were from
country districts tributary to Kend-
rick. Through some error the
Kendrick public schools failed to
report any pupils ready for exam
nations. 1t was learned late Mon
day evening that there were %
town pupils ready for reading
examinations, so a center was has
tily arranged and an examiner Sc
cured. Mrs. H. Busse conducted
the examination at the public school
building.

Creamery Pay Out SIS, 900

The old officers of the Kendrick
Cooperative Creamery Co. were re-
tanned for the coming year at the
meeting of stockholders held at
their office last Thursday afternoon.
The books of the company show
that $4,000 has been paid out to
the farmers for butterfat since the
creamery was started a little over
a year ago. Butter to the amount
of three carloads was shipped out
of Kendrick from the creamery.
A better price for butter and an ex-
pected increase in the amount of
butterfat delivered at the creamery
during the year 1917. will give the
company an opportunity to make
the business pay dividends. The
first years business has been better
than was expected and the future
looks bright.

S.P. & S. Freight Wrecked

A wreck on the main line Of the
Northern Pacific between Marshall
Junction and Spokane Wednesday
morning at 1880 o'clock stopped
traffic on the Palouse branch, and
the train due to arrive in Kendrick
at l 40 o'clock in the afternoon did
not arrive until $50 o'clock in the
evening.
The wreck was caused by an en-
gine and caboose crashing into the
rear end of a heavy freight train,
resulting in the death of three
trainmen. The trainmen killed
were Conductor O. E. Williams and
Brakemen Kelley and Chapman, all
of Pasco.
1t appears the trainmen were
caught without warning and were
probably instantly killed. The big
freight engine plowed through the
caboose, resulting in the wreckage
taking fire and almost consuming
the bodies of the trainmen. The
bodies were recovered from the
pilot of the engine with arms and
lower limbs practically consumed
and nothing remaining by which
the remains could be identified.

Foster.L-angdon

A very pretty wedding occurred
at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. l. E.
Foster, January IA at high noon,
when their oldest daughter, Miss
Emma Lucetta, was married to
Harry Lee Langdon, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Langdon of Lewis
ton.
The ceremony was performed at
Cedar Dell Farm, under a white
crepe wedding bell, which hung
from an arch draped in white crepe
and cedar boughs. Rev. Gallaher
of Southwick, performed the cere-
mony in the presence of a few rel
atives and friends of the bride and
groom. Miss Laura M. Foster,
sister of the bride acted as brides
maid while Earl Langdon, brother
of the groom was best man.
The bride wore a dress of white
silk allover lace and the groom
a suit of blue.
The bride has lived with her
parents at Linden for the past two
years and is we'll known and has a
large circle of friends in the COM
munity. Mr.. Langdon is a pros
porous young farmer of the Cedar
Creek district and his long resi-.
dence and sterling character have
made for him a host of friends.
Their friends presented them with
many beautiful aud useful gifts as
token of the esteem in which
they were held.
A splendid wedding dinner was
prepared for the occasion by the
mother and sister of the bride
after which the happy couple de-
parted for Lewiston, the home of
the groom's parents, for a short
honeymoon. They will be at home
to their many friends at the old

New Judicial District

A bill will be introduced at the
present session of the legislature
asking for the division of the Sec
ond judicial district, thus creating
a new district. The district now
embraces the counties of Nez Perce,
Idaho, Lewis, Clearwater and La
tab and the presiding judge is E.
E. Steele. It is proposed that Nez
Perce, Lewis and Idaho shall con-
stitute the new district, thus leav-
ing Latah and Clearwater in the
original district, to this latter dis
trict to be added the territory of
the proposed new Selway county.
1t is understood that the bill pro-
viding for the new district will be
introduced early in the session and
conditions indicate it will meet
little or no opposition, due to the
fact that it is realized the volume
of business now handled in the
second judicial district has for a
long period placed an undue re-
sponsibility on Judge Steele, who,
however, has met the task without
complaint.
During the years he has been on
the bench the population of the
district has practically doubled un-
til now at the opening of each term
of court in the respective counties
he faces a formidable calendar. 1t
is stated that Judge Steele favors
the division. AS he resides in La.
tab county, he would remain as
presiding judge of the original dis.
trict.-Star- Mirror.

Compassion for This One

There was once a husband who
dreamed of having a closet all his
own. He dreamed of place where
he could go at night and find things
just the same as they were in the
morning. He dreamed of place
which he did not occupy with his
timid little two suits, a remote
hook, while all the rest of the cir
cumambient space was filled with
well, what every husband knows.
He dreamed, and he said: 81 will
take advantage of my wife's alb
sence, and hire a carpenter and a
locksmith and fix that closet up to
suit myself and put on it an i'm
pregnable lock and key, and then /
shall laugh softly and say: AT last
the great day has comet "
And he did it.
And when that night his wife
came home and saw the work he
had done, she said:
where is that key?"
And the husband, trembling-for
he was no Bluebeard- produced it
forthwith. And when she saw the
ample space within she fell on his
neck and said:
my darling, the four new frocks
l have bought this day, and the
crepe de chine party wrap, and the
fur-lined mother hubbard and the
others - your thoughtfulness has
provided for"
And the man went out in the
garage and hanged mis- dress suit
there-as he had been wont to do
and sighed to himself, saying
Good night!"-Ex.

Highway District is Proposed
Chamber of Commerce Held Good Roads Meeting and
Outlined Plans

the bonds not to exceed SIX percent
and the bonds to mature in twenty
years. At the end of the twenty
years the permanent road will not,
in all probability, have cost as much
as the repairing of the roads every
year now costs the taxpayers.
If this Highway district is formed
and it is almost a certainty that it
will be, the land in this section will
increase in value as never before.
Everyone will admit that the great
est drawback to the Potlatch coun-
try is the need of better roads,
roads that can be travelled the year
round with comfort. We can only
surmise the wonderful progress this
part of Latah county will make
when all of its roads are rebuilt
and when all of the grades leading
into Kendrick are cut down to five
percent grades or less. Every
farmer, property owner or resident
within the district mapped out will
be boosting his own interest and the
interests of the entire community
by doing everything possible to
bring about a realization of this
splendid enterprise. There is moth
ing too good for the Potlatch and
for the Potlatch farmer. Perman-
ent highways will make life more
than ever worth the living. They
will be wise investment and the
payments will be extended over a
period of years so that they will
be little, if any, more burdensome
than our present road taxes.
The Chamber of Commerce elec-
ted E. P. Atchison and M. V.
Thomas to represent Kendrick,
and Juliaetta sent E. w. Porter to
take care of her interests at a
meeting held in Troy Wednesday
afternoon. Mr.. Thomas being out
of town. left Mr.. Atchison to rep.
resent Kendrick.
At the meeting the Troy people
seemed quite enthusiastic about the
matter and are willing to do their
part to get the necessary machinery
in operation to put the plan in
working order. The following
boundary was roughly sketched by
the representatives from the three
towns, subject to any changes that
conditions might warrant.

The Kendrick gazette., 1917-01-19

A road meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce, held in the town hall
Tuesday night, resulted in the be-
ginning of one of the greatest
movements toward the up-building
of the Potlatch country that has
ever been inaugurated here. The
meeting was called for the purpose
of discussing the road question and
to lay plans for the purpose of
starting something along that line
Immediately.
E. W. Porter of Juliaetta, who is
probably the most ardent advocate
of good roads in Latah county, at
tended the meeting and it was thru
his suggestion that the idea of
forming a highway district origi-
mated. The matter was discussed
from every standpoint and the more
arguments presented pro and con,
the stronger seemed to grow the
sentiment in favor of organizing
the districts.
The farmers and townspeople in
this section have long seen the cry.
ing necessity of better and more
permanent roads. There is nc
country that needs good roads more
than the Potlatch. The grades par.
ticularly, could be greatly improved
and the steep places eliminated
Under the present system of road
improvement it is practically i'm.
possible to get permanent roads
built. For this reason highway
districts are being formed and have
been formed, all over the state
The state of Washington is fal
ahead of Idaho in this respect.
In many respects the manner o1
procedure in forming a highway i:
simple. The boundaries must not
go beyond the county line ane
should contain a million dollars
worth of taxable property, provid
ing the road district wishes to ge
aid from the state highway com
mission. A petition must be circu
lated containing a list of at leas
one-tenth of the property owner
within the district mapped out
Three commissioners residing il
this district are appointed by the
governor and are to serve as
board, without recompense, ant
