Marietta District

Marietta is a promising district,
in the opinion of Captain Whiting,
and destined to produce some great
mines. The Black Mountain Min
ing Company IS property is but a
prospect as yet but is producing
ore of high grade and will make a
shipment soon. The shaft IS being
sunk on a vein that is said to be 20
feet wide, and OIL an eight inch
streak of ore that carries 176 oun-
ces silver and 19 per cent lead
Work at present is confined to the
Black vein. a parallel vein of
equal promise lies within 100 feet
of the Black vein.
Captain Whiting speaks highly
of the Black Hawk ground, which
adjoins his property OH the west,
and which is being operated by
Jack Hamlin. Another promising
property i'll the same locality is the
Shepherd mine, that is reported to
have been sold.
The Black Mountain Mining
company OWNS three claims and
three fractions covering 400 feet
on the two veins.

Rents Large Farm

F. M. Green has rented his fine
farm of 400 acres on American
ridge to Amel Olson, who has been
farming the Bigham place on the
lower end of the ridge. Mr.. Olson
has purchased all of Mr.. Green's
farming machinery and his stock,
including the herd of registered
Shorthorn cattle. He has a lease
on the place for three years and
will take possession before long.
Will Durbln, who has been working
the place for Mr.. Green for several
years, will perhaps rent a place.
Mr.. Green will have full manage
ment of the local warehouse Of the
Idaho Bean & Elevator Co., in
which he is interested, as soon as
Messrs. Johnson and Driscoll move
to Spokane to take charge of the
company's large warehouse there,

Another Firm Buys Prunes

The Tri State Fruit Co. of Lewis
ton, one of the branches of the Earl
Fruit Co., will open buying
station in a section of the Vollmer
Clearwater Company's warehouse in
Kendrick, for the handling of
prunes again this season. Owing
to unusual conditions last season
they were unable to ship more than
two cars. This year promises a
larger and better crop. The grad
ing line between large and small
will not be as close as last; in fact,
where the fruit is sound, entire
crops can be taken without the
usual heavy culIlng.
The firm has already contracted
some of the larger orchards and is
paying the highest market price to
growers. J H. McLain, the local
representative of the firm, states
that their firm pays cash at the
warehouse door and that there is nc
delay IN the growers pay check.

Killed By Engine

jerome Kidwell, aged Is, a pion-
eer of Cora precinct, east OF Gar
field, was instantly killed Saturday
evening when a threshlng engine
exploded and pieces of the flying
metal struck his head, disfiguring
it so he was not recognizable.
The machine was working on a
ranch east of Garfield, just across
the state line in Washington. Mr..
Kldwell was not feeling we'll and
exchanged work with the fireman,
sending the latter to the field to
pitch, the work that Mr.. Kidwell
had been doing. In less than Is
minutes the boiler exploded and
Mr.. Kidwell was instantly killed.
He had saved the tireman's life at
the expense of his own.
MIR. KidweIl has lived in Cora
precinct for many years. He was a
brother Of David Kidwell, we'll
known pioneer of that section. He
leaves a widow and one daughter

Good Wheat Yield

Clarence Daugherty threshed a
field of IL acres of wheat on Amer
lean ridge that made yield of AZ
bushels to the acre. Threshing
machine measure made it fifty BUSH
els to the acre but when Mr..
Daugherty got his warehouse re-
ceipts they showed trife over AZ
bushels to the acre. There was con-
siderable smut IN the wheat. This
grain was grown on measured
ground and Mr.. Daugherty's word
is proof enough that the yield is not
exaggerated. He says there are
fields of winter wheat on the ridge
that from all appearances will turn
out even better than his.

Big Store Sold Stock

The Kendrick Store Co., one of
the largest stores in Latah county,
sold its stock of dry goods and
gents furnishings to the Palace
Store Co. of Spokane. The deal
was made last Saturday night and
the first thing Monday morning

ing the goods and packing them
ready for shipment. Everything
except the groceries was sold.
The news that the Kendric& Store
Co. had sold it's stock, was received
in this locality with anything but a
feeling of delight. 1t has been one
of the most solid mercantile institu-
tions in the Inland Empire, under
the Management of E. H. Dammar-
ell and John Florance. For the
past eight years'it has done -four
ishlng business and has been cen

best kept stock he had ever found

The business of the store has in
creased from year to year under the
careful management of the Com.
pany, each year witnessing better
conditions. MIR. Dammarell and
Mr.. Florance. however, decided to
sell for reasons which they, them
selves know best. If they decide tc
continue out of business or locate at
some other town, they will leave g

They have made decided success
in the mercantile business and we
believe we can safely say that ever

They Don't Fit In

Three's race of men that don't
fit in, race that can't stay still, so
they break the hearts of kith and
kin, and roam the world at Will.
They range the field and they rove
the flood, and they climb the noun
tain's crest; theirs is the curse of
the gypsy blood, and they don't
know how to rest.
If they just went straight they
might go far; they are strong and
brave and true; but they're always
tired of the things that are, and
they want the strange and new.
They say, Gould l find my proper
groove, what a deep mark | would
make" SO they chop and change and
each fresh move is only a fresh
mistake.
And each forgets as he strips and
runs. with a brilliant. ftful pace,
It's the steady, quiet, plodding ones
who win iL the lifelong race. And
each forgets that his youth has fled,
forgets that hls prime is past, till
he stand one day with hope that's
dead, in the glare of the truth at
last.
He has failed, he has failed, he
has missed his chance, he has just
done things by half, life's been a
jolly good joke on HIM, and now is
the time to laugh. Ha, Ha! He is
one of the Legion lost; he was never
meant to win, he's rolling stone,
and it's bred in the bone. he's a
man who won't fit ink.

Hyacinth S. S. Class Picnic

The members of the Hyacinth
Class of the Presbyterian Sunday
School were given an outing by
their teacher, Mrs. Ira Gentry. as
sisted by Mrs. Nina Davidson. They
left Kendrick Tuesday morning,
July 20, for Dew Drop Inn,. a short
distance beyond Helmer, where
breakfas was served.
The time was spent very enjoy
ably in bathing and taking hikes
through the tall timber during the
day and the baked beans, pies, etc,
served camp style, proved very pop
ular. On Thursday evening a taffy
pull was greatly enjoyed.
1t was a rule of the camp that
each one had to wash her own dish
es. One very thoughtful girl chose
to eat nothing but bread and butter
one morning for breakfast, thus
saving the trouble of dishwashing.
One evening as the campers were
partaking of delicious supper, Mr..
Dillman surprised them by present
ing a large box of delicious musk
MELONS, which were enjoyed very
much.
The young people wish to thank
Mr. Atchison, Mr.. Gentry and Mr..
McKeehan for their kindness in
taking them to the camp. grounds
in their autos. They, also extend
their thanks to Mr.. Black for his
kindness in lending them a canvas
which made very acceptable tent
in No Mans Land.
The outing was given for the
faithful attendance at Sunday

Grasshoppers Plentiful

Farmers along Lawyers canyon
are finding it necessary to resume
the fight on the grasshopper pest,
since during the past week a wave
of these insects has been noticed
working it's way across from the
Idaho county side of the canyon end
alredy skirmish line is biting it's
way into the tempting crops on this
side.
1t is becoming evident, toe, that
the protracted drouth is causing
this hopper cruasde to spread to
various sections of Lewis county
and doubtless united effort by the
County Agent and the farmers,
such as proved so effective earlier
in the season, will be required to
prevent destruction of early fall
sown grain; and, furthermore the
general elimination of the hoppers
this season will materially reduce
the work of overcoming them next
spring.
The fight to exterminate the grass
hopper in the prairie country has
been successfully started, and there
will hardly be let up until the end
is accomplished .--Nez Perce Herald

of Importance were disposed of. An
ordinance fixing the tax levy for

by the Board. The levy was placed
at Is mills, the same as last year.
Affidavlts from j. c. Bibb and j.

that the street between Block 7 and
8 and extending from Main Street
south to the alley, had been vacated
by the board before the fire. The
records of the Village were destroy
ed in the big fire. The Board de-
clared the street to be shown on the
minutes as still vacated.
The chairman of the Board order
ed the street and alley committee,
consisting of 7. H. Sturdevant and
Theo Hanson, tU see that convenient
hitch racks were placed in different
parts of the town for.the conven-
ience of the farmers. A number of
the present hitch racks were taken
out because they were in the park
ing strips. They will likely be
placed just outside the curb on the
side streets.
The report Of the water commits
sioner was received IN regard to the
progress of installing the pipe from
the Byrne's spring to the water
main on Main Street. The work
is being done as fast as possible to
get this part of the water system
finished at an early date.
The Board also plans to get an
enigneer here in the near future to
establish a grade for the cement
walks which are to be installed in
the lower end of town, from Mill
Street to the Street below the VIM.
