G. E. Grice of Portland was in
Kendrick few days this week Wis
iting his daughter, Mrs. Howard
Fenton. Mr.. Grice has position
in the shipyards at Portland and
speaks very highly Of working con-
ditions there. He expects the ship
building to continue for many
months on account OF the great de-
mand for vessels to handle the in
creased tonnage. While many men
are being turned off, he states that
they are the inexperienced class
that have been trying to do the
work of mechanics. The Govern
ment in the extreme necessity of
turning out ships as rapidly as pos
sible hired men who were really un-
qualified for the work which they
were called upon to do. Now the
Government is building the ships in
less of hurry and is wedding out
the incompetent men and retaining
those qualified to do the work.

lures which they have passed
through.
Margaret Terry, Manila Hanson
and 10 Guy returned to their school
work at Harvard the first of the

Kendrick is still shifting along
in the same old way, without a
stockyard. OF course when the
railroad company does anything
there is always a certain amount
of red tape to be taken into consider
alton. There must be miles of it
wound around the proposed stock
yard, that was supposed to have been
built about two years ago. A local
ity that ships from three to twelve
thousand dollars worth of stock a
week deserves some shipping accom-
Odations. They say that "The mills
of the gods grind slowly but they
grind exceeding Rne." If this is
true Kendrick ought to have an ex-
ceedingly fine stockyard when the
railroad company does get around
to build it.
