BIG BEAN BOOM

In spite of the fact that the 1917
bean CT OPP was hardly more than a
half crop, the possibilities which
it revealed are we'll worth consider
ing. One of the main points is the
manner in which, the Potlatch bean
land withstands drouth. The past
season has shown that little need
be feared from dry weather.
An article printed in the "Coun-
try Gentleman some time ago
gives some very interesting facts
concerning bean raising in Califor-
MIA and it is very gratifying to note
that the California bean fields, one
year with another, do not out.class
our own in a very marked degree
and some of the statements made
in the article substantiate the opin-
ion of the Gazette, that this Won
derfully productive Potlatch soil
hasn't reached the maximum price
when 500 an acre is paid for it.
Following is paragraph from the
article:
BILLY Winters picked out the
1000 acres with practiced eye
ten years ago. The land was cheap
less than fifty dollars an acre.
The natives in those parts held
their breath. Would he bite? He
did. When he had parted with his
money they exploded with loud
guffaw." They thought he was
stung but today that same land,
that by intensive cultivation will
raise from 1900 to 1000 pounds of
beans to the acre, is worth five OF
six hundred dollars an acre and
hard to get at that.
Isn't it fact that we too, have
been Understanding the value OF
the land in this section and will
wake up two or three years hence
! to the fact that we didn't appreci

here.
A farmer who lives near Paloust
made the statement last week thai
he had 200 acres for which he hat
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1917-12-07

a standing offer of $115 an acre.
Almost in the same breath he said
that the greater part of vt would
have to be summer fallowed in the
spring-an utter waste of seasons
crop. You see they can't raise
beans in that locality like we can
here. If land in that country is
worth that price today, Potlatch
land is worth at least third more
as the farmers here do not have to
let their land lie idle every third
year.
We are looking forward to the
time when 5000 an acre will be
considered about right for Potlatch
soil. The time will come and the
little white beans will be the cause
of the increased land values.

The business man who will not
advertise is a good bit like the
fellow who goes to picnic and eats
the lunch that other people bring,
says an exchange. The man who
spends money bringing people
downtown ought to have all the
benefit from it and he usually does.
People would rather do their buy
ing from an advertiser. They know
he has the advantage over the non
advertiser. They know he sells
more goods and therefore has a
fresher stock all the time. They
know that by selling more goods he
can get along with less profit be-
cause he turns his money oftener.
When you do your Christmas shop
ping it will pay you to buy adver-
tised goods. They are cheaper and
fresher. The only man who ever
loses anything thru advertising is
the non-advertising competitor of
the man who advertises. The man
who pays for the advertising is the
man who doesn't advertise.

SQUIRRELS FEAST ON JELLY.

Franklin Taylor recently heard
strange noises in the cellar of his
home in Brooklyn, says the New
York World. Thinking burglars
were in the house, he went to the
cellar prepared for them. He found
several gray squirrels, well smeared
with his wife's winter supply of
homemade jellies. They had also
dined on his vegetables. 1t was
found they had entered from be-
meath the steps apd were a part of

neighborhood all summer.

Now is the time to push holiday
goods. While they may not have
been specially featuring, stores in
the larger cities have been doing
quite brisk business in Christmas
merchandise for three weeks before
Thanksgiving, and now that this

for a single days further delay.
Get out the holiday lines; put them
where they will be seen and make
a noise" about them and with them.

Chief Of Detectives George Richard

his room from the office and he had
about $l25 in his possession. He was
accosted by q Filipino and. after SONS
conversation, was hit on the head and
knocked down. Z
The Chinese, according to Chief
Richardson. was beaten up so badly
that his face was q mass Of pulp. The
nose was flattened out and the eyes
were absolutely closed. The Chinese
could not speak and his head was one
mass Of wounds. He was taken to the
hospital. The man died Saturday.
The Filipino, not knowing of the
death OF the Chinese, confessed to the
robbery and declared that he had
beaten up the Chinese and then robbed
him because the celestial owed him SIS

The greatest problem in the isl.
ands.," he said, sis the land and home
stead question. 1t will require much
careful attention TO properly solve.
While have not come to any positive
and unrevocable conclusion, and my
mind may be changed by more mature
consideration and reflection, yet ! now
feel convinced that the long time leas'
ing system. Is a mistake and should
be gradually eliminated; and that the
opportunities OF the people to secure
homesteads should be increased rather
than made more difficult. Landlord.
ism is repugnant to the, fundamental
principles of American government,
and should be reduced to the minimum.
The fact that the ownership Of two
e1 tire islands of the Hawaiian group
has practically passed into the hands
OF two families should be warning to
tie people and enioin upon them a
duty to see that no such ownership
and control can possibly be acquired
Of the remaining islands. The home
Is the foundation of all stable govern
msnts; and to own one is the first
duty of good citizenship. About half
dozen great corporations seem to
own or control the greateI part Of the
most productive land of the islands
and hold most of 1t by lease for a
nominal consideration. The income
from only four companies from the
use OF government land has been enor-
mous-about three million dollars last
year. from which the territory received
less than ten thousand dollars rental
Any other landlord than the govern.
ment would have received million
dollars rental. IL any Of these leases
are renewed they should be for not to
exceed ten years and for considera-
ton fairly commensurate with the
profits derived by the tenants; and all
made subject to actual and bona fide
homestead entry upon reasonable
valuation basis.
