Mill to Start Soon

Manager Grice states that the
kendrick Flour Mill will be ready
for operation this week. There are
a number of details that still need
adjustment about the mill but it is
now in condition to grind -four.
The feed mill is also ready to start.
One mill-right will remain on the
job for several weeks to finish the
minor details of the construction
work.
The plant now consists of large
warehouse. three-story flour mill
and a six-tube concrete elevator,
all connected and arranged for the
maximum of convenience, the ma
chinery of the mill and elevator
being installed in such a manner
that one man can operate the diff
erent departments by throwing the
electric switches.
The plant has a boiler in the
basement which furnishes steam for
heating the mill and for the pro.
cess of washing the grain anC
steaming rolled feed.
Mr.. Grice does not expect tc
operate more than a day shift al
this time but later it is possible
that the mill will be run to capac
ity. 1t is unquestionably one OF
the very best equipped mills in tn,
Inland Empire. Electric power
furnished by the local company
will be used in all departments o
the plant.

Lewiston Normal Burned

The administration building of
the Lewiston State Normal School
was completely destroyed by fire
Wednesday night, the loss being es-
timated at over 100000 and the
insurance carried amounted to
about $92,2 200. The fire originated
from unknown causes in the train
ing department located in the east
wing and had gained good headway
before being discovered. The fire
swept through the east wing and
the original administration build
ing and within an hour after the
first alarm was sounded, the two
structures were practically gutted
and portions of the walls of the
east building had fallen in. The
announcement was made by Presi.
dent Elliott that the school work
will not be discontinued because of
the fire.

Loss of Life in War

We read in the newspaper dis
patches that there are now 3S mil
lion men engaged in the present
European war. 27 million on the
side of the Entente Allies and ten
million on the side of the Central
powers. These are the greatest
armies of modern times, and it
would seem that there must be
great losses Of life, yet with all the
improved weapons of death and all
the late inventions and methods of
human destruction the announce
ment comes that only in battle
there are II lives lost in every 900
men. 1t was away back in the an
cient wars that tine losses in battle
were so great. In fact, there were
very large armies at that time and
the most of the fighting was hand
to hand encounters with probably
spears and clubs instead of swords
and guns. Anyway the losses were
appalling, none so great in any way
in the last three centuries. Go
back far enough and you will find
from history the following losses of
some of the ancient wars: Plata,
499 B. c., 100000; Issus, 333 B. C.
10000; Jerusalem, 70 A. D.,
100000; Bannockburn, 1914,
$4,000; Vienna, 1926, 10000; Blen-
helm, 1901. $4,000; Ismael, 1870,
$4,000, Austerlitz, 1905, 100000;
Jana. 1906, 10000; Leipsig, 1913,
10000. These figures show only
the losses on one side in these great
battles.

The wedding of Miss Fora Ware

at three o'clock on the afternoon Of
Thanksgiving day at the N. E.
Ware home on Bear Ridge, in the
presence of the families, relatives
and number of friends of the
bride and groom.
The young couple marched into
the room to the strains of the we'd

Thomas, and took their place un-

with green and white streamers of
tissue paper. Edith Compton acted
as bridesmaid and Waldo Thompson
as best man. Neva Ware, the five
year-old sister of the bride, was
ring bearer and carried the ring in
a little basket of blue silk and
white lace.

mony in his usual impressive man.

Subscription Rates Raised

On January l the subscription
rate to the Gazette will be 1.5O a
year straight. This advance should
have been made year ago as the
dollar weekly is relic of the past
and has no place in modern journa-
lism. The price of all commodities
has risen to such an extent it is out
of the question to produce a weekly
newspaper and sell it for a dollar
year.
We do not think it should be nec-
essary to explain the reason for an
advance in rates, as it is absolute
ly necessary. The price of paper
has advanced out of all reason and
every other item of expense con-
nected with a printing office has
gone up accordingly. One dollar
year will not cover the actual
cost OF the paper to you.
When the merchant has to pay
more for the food and clothing he
sells to you, he adds the extra cost
to the old price and you pay for it.
and generally without any grumb-
ling, for you know it is just. The
country editor is in the same boat
with the merchant. He cannot
have wholesale prices advance alb
normally and sell his product at
the same old price.
Renewals will be accepted until
the first of the year at the old
price but after that time the price
will be $1.5O a year.

Regular Council Meeting

Tuesday night at the meeting Of
the Village Trustees a number of
matters of interest to the commun-
ity were discussed and laid on the
table to await developments. The
members of the village board are
alive to the interests Of the proper
ty holders and are trying to take
advantage Of every opportunity to
better conditions in the town.
One of the matters upon which
action was taken pertained to the
use of sign boards on the walks of
Main Street. All such sign boards
were ordered to be done away with
and the city marshall was author
lied to notify the owners to that
effect.
1t was unanimously agreed by
the council that the proper place
for the flag pole was in the park
ing strip, between the curb and
sidewalk in the middle Of the town
park block. A hole had already
been dug in the park in which to
set the pole but for various reasons
the council decided the parking
strip was more favorable location.
This decision is not final as the
matter rests with the street and
alley committee. The pole will
require another coat of paint be
fore it can be set.

The total gross proceeds from
both the Rex and the Grand The
atres will be turned over to the
Red Cross Saturday night. Friday

but as the local theatres had al
ready ordered their films for Satur-

make Saturday night the Red Cross
Benefit night. Good features will
be shown at the theatres and it is
another chance to give the Red
Cross a boost and still get in return
an evening of enjoyment. Tickets
at the Grand are Is and 25 cents
and the Rex 10 and Is cents. An
orchestra has been engaged to fur
nish music at the Rex.

Flag Pole Suggestion

Manager Charles McKeever of
the Kendrick Hardware Company,
received the large metal ball for
the town flag pole this week. He
suggests that when the pole is
erected a list of the names of the
boys who have gone into military
service, the name of Martin Thom-
as, who donated the pole, and a
copy of the Kendrick Gazette, be
hermitically sealed within the metal
ball so that in future ages, should
the pole be destroyed and the ball
be opened, the contents will be
treasured as relics of the past.

Although the failure to receive
letters from men in the service is
not pleasant to relatives and friends
at home the adage "no news is
good news never was more true
