Is "Cheap" Irvine Cheap?

NOW let us see how his loss-and-
~ gain account figures out on this
Irvine investment:
He saved y cents a pound on
the original cost Of the Irvine by buy
ing an inferior grade instead Of guar
anteed international Harvester Irvine
"a saving of $3.50 on 6 bales. This
represents his total gain.
In saving $3.50 to start with. he
lost in the end:
500 #. shortage, or the equiva-
lent of l71 lbs. of guaranteed
average SCOTT. irvine. ]
90 hours time Of harvest hands at
the prevailing high wage scale.
5H bushels of wheat at $2.25 q

Figure out for yourself the total
losses - the money squandered by
this farmer to save $4.5O-an in
significant cent-and-a-half a pound

The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1920-05-28

The Ellison White Chautauqua
Company sent out programs with
the season tickets priced at $3.50
plus war tax, for chautauqua week
at Kendrick. This is tine usual
price and at some places as high as
$500 is charged for season tickets.
The Kendrick Chautauqua Associa-
tion, however, cut this price to
$500. plus 20 cents war tax. This
was done so that u larger number
of people OF the community might
feel better able to afford season
ticket. The chautauqua is being
put on simply for the enjoyment
and education it. will give to the
people of the Potlatch country and
their friends. 1t is not money
making concern and is entirely
free from graft of any kind. All
money over and above the amount
guaranteed by the business men OF
the town to bring the chautauqua
here, will go to the Ellison-White
Company.

Kendrick is pretty we'll supplied
with representative business houses,
for a town of its size. However,
there are few lines of business
not to be found here and there are
good openings for them. This
town needs cannery. brick yard,
laundry, box factory, jewelry store
and creamery. Any one Of these
could be made to pay if properly
conducted.

they will kick at paying half the

easier, the loads lighter, the sun

land more valuable. and that will
double the utility of their cars, and

GYPSY GYPSYING IN
 IN SAME OLD WAY

Constable Homer Mauldin, of St. David, arrested a gyspsy woman, Maria Mila, at Tombstone, on Jan. 2, for stealing $5 from an aged rancher named w. H. Brown. Brown says that he was driving along in his wag- on when the auto load of gypsies came along and the Mila woman left their car and got into his wagon and want ed to tell his fortune. When she had finished she asked him to let her have $lO from his purse and she would give 1t a few magic passes for good luck. Brown extracted the ten and turned it over to the gypsy, whom he says went through few mysterious gestures and crumpled up his ten dollar bill, placing it back in his purse, admonish- ing him not to look at it or it would be bad luck. When she left, however, Brown just had to look to satisfy his curiosity, and found that the good luck bill was not his precious $1O but a five, when he claims the woman substituted for it instead. He had q warrant sworn out charging obtain ing money under false pretenses, and when the woman was arrested, she put up fight which would have done credit to any man, not wishing to re- turn to the scene of operations, claim ing she had two-weeks' old baby she wanted to take along with her. After a trip to the gypsy camp located near the city limits to get the baby, she was started for St. David for trial be-
 fore the justice there to see why the ten turned into five so mysteriously.

MORE CUSTOMS OFFICERS NEEDED ON LINE TO END
 SMUGGLING OF LIQUOR

NOGALES-In an effort to check the smuggling of liquor into the United States from Mexico, Collector of Customs Charles E. Hardy of the Arizona district, has applied to the treasury department for additional customs inspectors at border ports.
 It is expected that the request of Collector Hardy will be granted owing to the fact that the smuggling of liquor on the border has grown to an alarming extent. Hardly a night pass es that several persons are not appre- hended here bringing liquor from No gales, Sonora, to the United States, and Collector Hardy is determined to break up the traffic.
 Last week several persons of prom thence were caught by Inspector Al Scharff at the line while bringing tequila into the United States and he deliberately broke the bottles on the sidewalk.
 Scharff took the men into custody and they were each fined $10O. A num- Der of prominent persons of Tucson have been apprehended bringing liquor across the line and arrested and fined.

JAMES DOUGLAS OF JEROME
 TO SEEK GOVERNORS OFFICE

PHOENIX.-James Douglas, of Jer- ome and Douglas, is planning to launch campaign for governor on the democratic ticket.
 This is the conclusion reached by local politicians after learning of the announcement which comes from Prescott to the effect that the Weekly Courier, one of the oldest journals in the state has been purchased from E. A. Rogers by Favour and Cornack. z
 Favour and Cornack are legal counsel for the United Verde Exten- sion, in which Douglas holds con- trolling interest, and this fact is the basis of the surmise that Douglas has at last acceded to the wishes of friends who desired him to enter the gubernatorial race.
 Jimmy Douglas has long been con- sidered likely timber for the demo- cratic nomination, though up to this time he has never taken an active part in politics. It is probable that he would have been made the party's choice on some previous occasion but for the fact that it would be poor bil- liards to name any large mine owner to head the ticket.
 The theory that Douglas has de- cided to enter the race, with his own private publicity to back him up is backed up by certain vague rumors which were afloat during the occasion of the democratic council meeting held following fair week, to the ef- feet that some dark horse was about to be sprung, the mere mention of whose name would bring forth bursts of applause from democrats of every stripe froms every city, hamlet and town.
 Douglas may be the long sought compromise candidate for which the party leaders and saviours have been bushwhacking the political woods for To, these many moons. And though it is true that Douglas candidacy might be hailed with delight by many con- servative democrats it goes without saying, so the political wiseacres say, that his name would prove a red flag in the face of the Hunt following.
 Douglas made a recent trip to Washington, and upon his return he had several things to say about the conduct of affairs in congress with especial emphasis on the alleged ias- sininity of senators in not staying with the president. Though no special significance was placed upon these ut terances at the time it is now realized that everything Douglas said was of a nature that would meet the approval of the average Arizona democrat.

By ALBERT B, REAGAN.

Several papers state that two thousand Navajos died of the influ- enza under the jurisdiction of the Fort Defiance (Navajo) Agency, which comprises about one-ffth of the Navajo country. It is the writer's be- lief that the statement is gross ex- aggeration; yet the death rate was appalling. Probably no other people in the United States suffered at all comparable with them.
 The influenza broke out at the boarding school at Tuba City, Vest ern Navajo Agency (Arizona), Octo- Der 12, 1918, and in the other reser- vations of the Navajo country at about the same time. At the school there were about one hundred and forty caSes at one time, but due to prompt action on the part of Dr.. Reynolds, the agency physician, and the ever vigalent and careful work of the other employees in taking care of the pupils-many employees doing nurse work to save the children when they themselves were running high fever, only two deaths then occurred and only one since due to complica- tions. Most of the other Navajo schools are reported to have fared worse.
 At the time the malady was raging at the school the Hopi Indian village of Moencopi, two miles southwest of the agency, was stricken with the plague. At one time 181 of it's 300 population were down with the dis ease. At this critical moment some nurses arrived from outside and at tempted to look after the Indians needs; but, through their not under standing the Indians, their efforts proved a failure and they gave up the task as hopeless. By this time the pupils at the Tuba school were so con- valescing that force of the school and agency employees could be spared to aid the employees at Moencopi These took food from the school to the village; and, gaining the good will of the Indians, soon had them taking all the medicine needed and receiving all the care necessary. As result, of the 200 sick only 16 died. No one could have done more than the teacher at Moencopi and the school and agency people from Tuba to save these people.
 By the time the people of Moen- copi began to recover the epidemic had spread to the Navajo settlements. Aid was at once sent them in every possible way. Hospitals were estab- lished at every convenient place to which the sick were taken for treat ment. The hogans were also visited. But the work was difficult.
 The Navajos fled from the places where the disease appeared. Those at the fields" in Moencopi wash south of Tuba fled northwestward and westward to Navajo and Black noun tains, abandoning everything, even their sheep in some cases. One Navajo is alleged to have abandoned his sick wife and several children who, it is reported, died of starvation. Several families are alleged to have aban-

 WAS INDEED TERRIBLE SCOURCE

doned sick members of their family. While sick with the disease Navajo woman gave birth to baby girl. Five days later the Indians decided she would die, so she and baby were aban- doned. Later they were found by . government party sriii alive and brought to the Marsh Pass school, which had been converted into a hos pital; but the mother died that same evening and, the little one having been starved, succumbed two days later. Other similar cases of aban- donment were reported. One is an in stance where the husband abandoned several children by the side of his dead wife, all of which are reported to have starved to death.
 The disease was astoundingly fatal. Whole families were wiped out, leav- ing their flocks wandering over the hills at the mercy of the wolves. Sev- eral related families living together all died but one small boy who was found herding the combined fiocks, and it is now reported that the Shiprock agency under whose Jurisdiction he belonged, has recommended that this boy inherit all the sheep he saved from the coyotes. At another place a family of eight were picking pinyon nuts when stricken with the disease. Later their lifeless bodies were found around their wagon. A piute woman died on their reservation north of the San Juan river. Fleeing from the "place of the dead," the husband and five children crossed the river into the Navajo country with their sheep, where they died one by one along the trail, only one little six year old boy surviving.
 No people have greater dread of ghosts and mortuary remains. Conse- quently to prevent stampede the two pupils who died at the school, both dying at night, were carried out of the dormitory as soon as dead, with lights out so the. pupils could not see what was being done. The dead pu- pills were also buried in the early hours of the morning for the same reason. At the hospital at the Marsh Pass school-which was filled with adults, a patient died about sunrise one morning and immediately the sick struck up the death vail. Even the sickest, some who could scarcely hold their heads up when not excited, sprang from their beds as they trem- bled from head to foot and started to leave the room as they stared with wild eyes. Luckily there was another hospital room to which they were speedily moved. To prevent a like scene, the dangerously sick were thereafter put in building by them selves. And when one died he was buried at night to keep from arousing the superstition of the Indians any more than possible.
 The Indians were so terribly afraid of the dead that they fled from the "chindi hogan" (devil's house), as they termed the place where person died of the disease. Many were left where they died in the hogan and were simply covered over with few shov- els of dirt right where they expired. One Navajo had built stone house.

NEAR DEATH BY
 ASPHYxIATION AT PRESCOTT

Mir. and Mrs. John H. Smelling and George Cummings, all of Prescott, were nearly asphyxiated Wednesday night, about 8:45 o'clock in their rooms over the auto top repair shop on West Gurley street near the Gran ite creek bridge, and were taken to Mercy hospital in a serious condition. The accident was due to leaky gas pipe, and all upper rooms were im- pregnated in a few minutes with the deadly odor, and with difficulty the victims were removed to the open, all in an unconscious state.
