GLEANINGS

Of the week.
Louis Halseth spent several days
last week in Kendrick visiting
friends. He returned to Spokane
Saturday, here he expects to spend
the winter.
Frank Benscoter of American
ridge and his grandson went to Lew
iston Saturday to visit relatives.
Ike Morgan and Jack Bailey of
Texas ridge raised small patch of
sorgum on Texas ridge ridge this
season. 1t was more or less in the
nature of an experiment and proved
very successful. They only had a
few rows but it grew to maturity
and was as good as that grown IN
the sunny south. They bought a
small sorgum mill and made 18 gal
Ions of syrup from the stalks they
harvested from the patch. Next
year they expect to plant much
larger field and it will probably do
even better as it will have been ac-
climated.
Howard and Dick Fenton were
taken suddenly ill with influenza
last Saturday afternoon. A. E.
Wilcox was away on hunting trip
at the time and had to be called
home to take charge of the depot
here. Until his arrival H. P. Hull
looked after the interests Of the N.
P. here. Howard and Dick are get
ting along very well and it is be-
lieved Will soon be entirely recover
ed.

N. B. Long & Son this week pur-
chased the building which they now

They also bought the slaughter
house at the lower end of town just
outside the town limits from c. G.
Compton. 1t is modern, convenient
and more much accessible than the
one located two miles above town,
formerly used by the firm. The
new addition to the business gives
the local market probably the best
equipment Of ally market in town

country. They took possession of
the newly purchased slaughter

their butchering operations.

". p. leICicf, agricultural agent
for Latah county made Kenrdick a
short visit last Friday. He was
quite surprised to see the quality
of corn which the Potlatcb country
raises. Some sample ears on dis
play at the Gazette office, brought
in by Jack Bailey. he said were
the best he had ever seen in the
northwest. Mr.. Bailey attributes
much of his success in corn raising
to the fact that he plants it
quite thin on the ground and for
this reason nearly every stalk has
from one to two good ears of corn.
