Meeting Last Saturday

Owing to stormy weather, the
meeting scheduled to take place on
Main street last Saturday, was held

townspeople and farmers from the
surrounding country were present.
The meeting was presided over by

School Election
Held Monday
DR.. ]. E. Hoyt Was Elected
Trustee.

At the annual school meeting
held at the school house last Tues
day, DR.. j. E. Hoyt was elected
trustee. The school board now con-
sists of Frank Byrne. Harry STAN
ton and DR.. Hoyt. A special tax
Of ten mills was voted at the elec-
tion.
In order to get the school on a
good financial footing it will prob
ably be necessary for the present
board to cut down on running ex-
penses next year. It is estimated
that if the school were run next
year with the same expense that it
has had during the past year there
would be a deficit of something
over $400. After the July appor-
tionments have been made there
will probably be an overdraft of
about $500 on this years running
expenses. This overdraft is due to
the fact that refund had to be
made to the Northern Pacific Rail-
road.
At present the school finances
stand as follows: Overdrafts
$14O4.52; amount needed to finish
term $500; deficit at end of term
before July apportionment $2904.-
81; budget for next year $69O9.O9; ;
estimated amount needed for next
year $9813.6l: estimated receipts
exclusive of special levy $5832.73.
A ten mill special tax on the valua-
tion Of $356.976 will bring SO, ,569.-
76, which added to the estimated
receipts gives a total amount for
running expenses of $9402. 40.
This amount taken from the esti-
mated amount needed for next year
will leave the deficit of $411.12.
This deficit could easily be made up
by cutting expenses at the proper
places.

Heavy Grain Traffic

Three extra freights, all double
headers, are going through Kend-
rick every day loaded with grain.
The high market has caused most
farmers to sell at this time and as
the grain is needed it is being
rushed to shipping points as fast as
possible. Every day enough grain
goes through Kendrick to fill a
good sized warehouse. The amount
is estimated at 1900 tons daily.
Last week nine carloads of wheat
were shipped from the Kendrick
Rochdale Co.'S. elevator in one day.

125 Cars of Beans Shipped

1t is estimated there were 125
cars of beans shipped out of Kend-
rick. This was the 1916 crop and
at the prices paid last fall it repre-
sents big item in the agricultural
output of the Potlatch country.
Every year brings increased acre
age in beans and the coming season
will no doubt break all records for
the number of acres planted.

N. P. Wins Tax Suit

Judgment in the sum of $3.50

rick school districts.

Addition to Garage

Burl Emmett has ordered the
concrete blocks for building a store
room to the garage on the lot next
to the Kendrick Auto Company's
building. The building will be 80
feet long and 25 feet wide. This
will give ample storage room and
will make a great improvement in
the appearance of that part of the
town.

TO BUILD THEATRE

Plans are progressing for
the erection of a new theatre
building on the lot next to
the Gazette Office. The build
ing is to be 80 feet long and
as wide as the lot will permit.
It is to be built of concrete
blocks and will have furnace
heat. 1t is probable a stock
company will be formed to
construct the theatre building
which will then be leased.

MR.. RICHTER's PAINTINGS TO BE
EXHIBITED AT LARGE COLLEGES

Mr.. Richter, instructor in Art in the
Normal School, has recently sent two
shipments of pictures East for exhi-
bition. They will constitute a
travelling exhibit to be sent out by
the University Of Pennsylvania, to
the various larger colleges-Prin
ton, Yale, Harvard, and also to the
various cities Of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Richters collection is interest
ing, indeed. It consists Of both water
colors and oils, many Of the subjects
being from the beautiful Gunnison
country. A water color Symphony
in Gold" is one Of the most attractive
Of the group; it is McDougal's pond
in autumn, with the Palisades in the
backgrounds veritable riot Of yell
lows. Among the snow scenes, Of
which there are q number, is q large
one in oils which attracts immediate
attention. Trees heavily laden with
snow overshadows roadway, itself
almost obliterated by newly fallen
Wilderness. Though the scene might
easily be one of our own, it is in the
Alps; and was made while Mr.. Richter
was abroad. Another type Of his sub
jects is shown in a small study-the
head Of the violin maker whom many
Gunnison people know. A peep at the
unfinished work and first sketches
gives promise Of more pictures in the
near future
