A Sad Accident

Ed Bogar who was accidentally
run over by d seven passenger car
driven by N. E. Walker of Kend-
rick while attending the Bear Ridge
picnic, died at ten o'clock the same
evening. Mr.. Bogar was passing in
front of the car when the horn was
sounded. Owing to fault in his
hearing he could not locate the
sound correctly. The driver, to
whom no blame attaches, tried to
avoid him but in his confusion of
sound Mr.. Bogar stepped directly
in front of the car. Two wheels
passed over him. He was taken to
the McGraw home and DR.. Faust
OF Deary and DR.. Rothwell of Kend-
rick gave such medical assistance
as was possible but it was soon
found that he was mortally injured.
Mr.. Bogar was born at Dassell,
Minnesota, July Is, 1871. He lived
at Dassell until he came west at
the age of % years. He spent the
following two years at Tacoma,
Wn., and the remainder of his life
on Texas Ridge. He was married
September 8, 1897 to Miss Texas
Pierce.
Mr.. Bogar has always been con-
sidered man among men, a man
whom to be loved, needs only to be
known. He was always called upon
to take part in debates and literary
work of all kinds. He leaves a
host of friends to mourn his de-
parture, and he will be sadly miss
ed on every occasion and by every
one.
He is survived by his wife. one
son, Virgil. two daughters, Sybil
and Muriel, three brothers and
three sisters besides numerous
relatives. All of the near relatives
who were within reach attended
the funeral.
The funeral was held on Sunday
in the United Brethren churchyard,
Rev J. M. Corner of Lewiston of
ficiating. Interment was in the
Texas Ridge cemetery.
The Deary choir furnished beau
tiful music at the church service
and a Kendrick choir at the grave.
Many beautiful flowers were re-
ceived by the sorrowing family and
host of relatives and their friends
paid their respects to man beloved
by all who knew him.

resolution, introduced by Trustee
Walker, was unanimously adopted.
Whereas, our government is en-
gagged against the Central Powers of
Europe and is in need of explosives
of all kinds and whereas we deem it
a patriotic duty to refrain from all
waste at such critical times,
Therefore, be it resolved by the
Chairman and Board of Trustees of
Kendrick, Idaho, that no explosives
or fireworks of any description shall
be used, fired or shot for the purp-
ose of celebrating or for entertain
ment, except as provided by law for
commercial purposes, within the
corporate limits of the village of
Kendrick, Idaho, during the present
war.
Trustee Dammerell seconded the
motion and on being put to vote it

From One Of The Boys
Fort Dodge Iowa,

June IL, 1918.
Friends Mac and Ralph:
promised to write to you when
| left Kendrick so it is up to me to
make good. just got two letters
from home and | feel better. 1t is
always great to hear from Kendrick.
After l reported here | got back
into the Meningitis ward. 1t seems
good to get back to my old home
again. To day makes my sixth
month in this ward which is MAX
ing some stay.
Kendrlck is getting to be an i'm
portant place with its Chautauqua
course for the summer. That is
just the way we like it.
never saw it so hot as it is to-
day. My pal and got under the
shower with our clothes on and
tried to keep cool that way. But
after all this is a great life.
Several officers were in this after
noon to a consultation over my two
patients, they had great conf1ab
and talked about everything they
could think Of, and some they did
mt think about. 1t was all French
to me.
We are having an easy time of
| it. There are very few cases left
in isolation now. We will rest ul
after the hard work early in the
Spring.
So they took Waldo Thompson
did they? l knew they would.
am glad he. got in something where
he can work at his trade, that give.
a fellow a pretty good chance foi
advancement.
Have they finished the work or
the streets yet? ! had a letter
from Bob Jones the other day. He
seems to be enjoying himself. HI
said he would get a furlough il
July.
1t is supper time and will have
to give up the post. Answer wher
you can. AS ever,
Dan Guy.

Latah Taxes

Collection of taxes in Latah coun-
ty has been better than for many
years past at this season of the
year. Most farmers have paid in
full, while few of the largest
farmers have paid one half. Of a
total of about S42O,00O there re-
pains in round figures 100000 to
be collected.
The last half of the taxes for
this county will be due June 80 and
must be paid before that date to
avoid the penalty. 1t should be
remembered, however, that June 80
falls on Sunday. If not paid on or
before June 20 penalty of six per
cent and interest will be added.

Politics

r. o. Jones of Coeur d'Alene ap-
pears to direct Judge Ailshie's cam
paign for the United States Senate.
1t is said that the Judge will run
in the southern part Of the state
because the voters, as a matter Of
fairness, will concede one of the
senators to the northern district.
But in this calculation it must not
be forgotten that in southern idaho
the northern district is regarded S
the handle to the pan or in more
common parlance the tail of the
dog, which as a matter of fact it
resembles. If any distinct advant-
age is sure to acrue to the south in
the support of Judge Ailshie he will
get the voters, if not he won't.
Southern Idaho plumes itself on the
dignity it has attained in furnish
ing both senator's. 1t is true that
northern Idaho has had no rep
resentative in the senate since the
death of Senator Hepburn but there
is no indication that the southern
portion of our state has undergone
a recent change of heart.

A new division of the food ad-
ministration has been created for
eliminating waste and for the
better harvesting of the grain crop.
The work will embrace two partic-
ular features-one to eliminate
all waste. and the other to see that
machines are made available for
threshlng grain at a time to pre-
vent loss. In this way the entire
battery of threshers in the counties
can be used for the most prompt
and efficient service.

Loyalty Versus Profession

The most dangerous character,
running at large in America today,
is Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, ex-
president and chronic applicant for
a third term. His venomous at
tacks on the administration and its
conduct of the war are without
a parallel. His address at Hart
ford, Connecticut last Sabbath has
earned for him a place as the chief
of German propagandists and he
should be promptly interned at
least until the war is over. On the
date above mentioned he told his
audience that the Germans built air
planes while America Dragged.
when the great drive began and
France and England had to make a
rampant of the bodies of their best
men to shield themselves and to
shield us, they found the Germans
had built the air planes we were
going to build and hadn't built"
If such utterances are not sed-
itious, where do they belong? La
Toilette has been under the most
severe censure for months past but
his utterances at St. Paul were ex-
ceedingly mild compared to the
rampant Colonel who has an over.

ned. 1t is true that the Colonel
offered his services to this country
but only on condition that he be
given an important military posi-
tion in the army. Failing to secure
this, his vile tongue has been busy
defaming the administration anc
every one connected with it. The
administration made a mistake ir
