Squirrel Control Campaign

The executive committee and the
squirrel project committee of the
Farm Bureau met together on
Saturday, February 81, and made
plans for the campaign against
squirrels which will be carried on
by the Farm Bureau this spring.
The executive committee voted to
increase Its strychnine order from
1000 ounces to 24O0 ounces. This
committee also authorized the
president and secretary of the Farm
Bureau to borrow sufficient money
to finance the purchase of this large
supply of strychnine alkalold and
the saccarine to go with 1t. Poison
supplies will be sold at cost to
Farm Bureau members and other
interested farmers.
The project committee voted to
hold a series of poison mixing and
demonstration meetings so that
every interested community may be.
reached. Poisoned oats will be
prepared and poison supplies dis
tributed at these meetings. Every
farmer wishing supplies will be ex-
pected to attend the meeting for his
section and get his poison and
saccharine at this time. A small
lot of supplies will be left with
the community project leader SO
that he may distribute these to
those farmers who were unable to
attend the meeting or who did not
get sufficient poison at the first
meeting.
The County Commissioners have
!, worked out plan whereby squirrels
on all neglected farms or other
lands will be poisoned by the
County and charged to the land and
collected with the taxes. An act
passed by the last legislature gives
them authority to do this.
r As soon after March first as
.. squirrels appear, meetings will be
!. held in the various communities
The earliest communities will be
reached first and the others as soor
I thereafter as possible. All farmers
should cooperate with the Farm
Bureau and help to make this
d Countrywide squirrel control cam
paign a big success.

the Gazette, published June 2, 1905,
we were considerably interested to
note that in those days Kendrick
had seven lodges, the Masons, Odd
fellows. Woodmen of the World,
Knights Of Pythias, Rebekah,
Women of Woodcraft and Rathbone
Sisters. Today the town has four
thrifty lodges, which is enough.
The general merchandise stores
were conducted by Fred S. Beck
with, H. p. Hull and John Lauter-
bach. There were two hardware
stores, Lincoln Hardware and Nc
Crea Bros. Hunter Bros. were
proprietors Of the furniture store,
Hill and Stanton had the livery
barn, Schill & Bornholdt were land

Kendrick had night passenger SER
vice to Spokane. the train arriving
at 1920 a. m. The paper carried
advertisements from both the N.
P. and o. R. & N. railways. Those
were the days when ye editors rode
the cushions on a pass. The paper
was published by d. T. A. Mcintosh.
After the issue of June 2, 1905, he
moved his printing equipment into
the building in which the Gazette
is now published.

Jake Grinolds Sold Farm

Through e. Walker, local real
estate dealer, Jake Grinolds sold
his eighty-acre farm near South
wick, to Jake Berrlman. The
place is we'll improved and all of
the land IS under cultivation. 1t

school, is we'll watered and in a
very high state of cultivation. The
price paid was $1,000 which is
thought to be very reasonable for
Potlatch land at this time.
Jake Berriman thought prices
around here were too high so he
took a trip to Spokane last week
with the idea Of buying a farm ir
that part of the country. He made
the deal for the Grinulds' place a!
soon as he returned, which woulc
indicate that he considered land il
the Potlatch worth the money com
pared to the prices asked in tn
Palouse country.
Mr.. Grinolds still has a fine 16
acre farm on Cedar Creek ridge
which he is we'll satisfied to keep
/ MIR. Walker is beginning his Ian
sales early this season. 1t ism
