Taylor Here From Alberta

William Taylor of Innisfall, AL
berta, spent short time here We'd
nesday morning. Mr.. Taylor was IN
partnership in the blacksmith shop
with Frank Crocker little over a
year ago. He and his afmily moved
to Alberta where he has been man.
aging a large stock ranch. His
wife's death in Spokane last week
was the cause of his coming back to
the States at this time. Mrs. Tay-
lor was staying in Spokane with
her eldest son while ne attended
school. She had been in California
for part of the winter on account
of i'll health.
Mr.. Taylor said that the farming
country where he is located is {
great country but he does not like
the schools, compared to those il
America. This is the reason WIN
he sent his oldest boy to Spokan'
last winter. He may decide t.
move back to Idaho after this year.

Squirrels Doomed

War on squirrels, pocket gophers
and other rodents that destroy farm
res crops is to be carried on in
Latah county under completely
organized system, with due author
Ity of law. The county commission
res have appointed AZ citizens locat-
ed in the farming sections of the
county to enforce the provisions of
the rodent control laws of the state.
This action was taken by the COM
missioners at the present session
and notice is being sent to the ap-
pointees.
! The state law provides that the
county commissioners may employ
"a person or persons to engage in
the work of destroying rodents"
and authorizes these apointees to go
upon the lands of any resident or
property owner. right of way of
county or railroads and poison or
otherwise kill squirrels or other
rodents.
The farm bureau of Latah county
with O. S. Fletcher, county agent,
began early to prepare for war of
determination of squirrels and the
farm bureau bought several thou
sand dollars worth of poison and
dstrlubted it at cost to members of
the bereau and arranged "poison
days" in which an entire com.
: munity would engage in the work
of poisoning squirrels at one time.
In order to get at those who are not

Good Baseball Game

The baseball game played last
Sunday between Kendrick and
Juliaetta on the local diamond, was
full of thrills. 1t was very close
game and took eleven innings to
decide the winning team.
This was the first match game OF
the season and while errors were
numerous, there was plenty Of spec
tacular playing to make up for
them. The outfield OF Doth teams
played exceptionally we'll. E.
Clark of Juliaetta made two sensa-
tional catches in left field that
brought forth the cheers of the en-
tire crowd.
Up to the first of the seventh in
nings the score stood l to 0 in favor
of Kendrick. JuIiaetta then secur-
ed two runs and held this lead until
the last of the ninth. Kendrick
was at bat with two men down, Nc
Crery on second and Fred Bolon at
bat with two strikes called. He
hit safe, scoring McCrery and tie
ing game.
Two more innings were then play
ed. In the last of the eleventh Nc.
Dowell scored on a pass ball.
Ross pitched the entire eleven
innings for Jullaetta and Carlson
and Martin caught. Hendricks
battery was composed of Densow
McCrery and Forest. Densow
pitched nine innings and McCrery
two. McCrery made a sensational
play the first of the tenth inning,
that probably saved the game.
There were three men on bases
when Juliaetta player hit a ter
rife grounder which McCrery stop
ped by lucky stab, saving prob
ably three runs.
The score of 3 to 2 indicates thu
game was a good one and was not {

Rev. John w. Hood

This community was deeply grew
ed last Friday morning to learn of
the death of Rev. John W. Hood,
who passed away quite suddenly at
his home here, Thursday evening, at
10 o'clock. He had been in failing
health for nearly a year but was
apparently as we'll as usual until
shortly before death came.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hood moved to
KendricK the first of this month,
having purchased a home here so
that they might be near their son,
Rev. Robert Hood, pastor of the
Presbyterian church.
John William Hood was born in
Chester, South Carolina, February
8, 1S45. He was therefore over Is
years of age at the time of his
death. He was raised to manhood
at Sparta, Illinois, and was educat-
ed at the Northern Illinois State
Normal. For many years he was
a teacher and also served as county
superintendent of schools for a
time. About 27 years ago he began
the work of the ministry and has
preached in different fields in Min.
nesota, Washington and Idaho.
On September "a, 1878 he married
Miss Esther McMaster. To thi:
union were born 5 sons and 2 Gaugh
tiers, two of the children. however
died in infancy. He is survived by
his wife, three sons, Robert M, o.
Kendrick; Alexander. of Wellpinit
WASH, j. W. Hood, Jr., of Sal
Anselmo. CAL; two daughters, Mrs
N. M. Fiske of Spokane, and Mis-
Esther Hood of Potlatch, Idaho.
Rev. Hood was the last survivin,
member of a family of 10 children
his twin sister having died abou
six months ago.
For six years he was pastor of tn

Why Disorganize Highway District?
Not Single Logical Argument Has Been Advanced to
Show Cause for Disorganizin8

NIT it answered the purpose in de-
feating the bonds. Two of the
highway commissioners have never
favored any other location for
permanent road than in Brady
Gulch. They had civil engineer.
Mr.. Dice, here, who viewed this
partsof the district in casual way,
and this engineer said that he
would favor the grade somewhere
in Brady GuIch in preference to
any other location. Then why is it
that people will let a rumor in
f1uence them IN decision that so
greatly affects their own interests?
There is no question that if per-
manent road is ever built from
Kendrick to American ridge it will
be built in Brady Gulch. There
is no other logical place, that will
best serve the majority of the
people of the ridge.
y
J 1t has been stated a number of
times lately that there is no use to
keep the highway district or to vote
bonds because it would be impos-
sible to secure federal aid for roads
for at least three years. The same
parties who make these statements
fought the bond issue on the ground
that it was a poor time to builo
roads now, on account of the high
cost of labor and materials. Not
very consistent, is it?
The report has been circulated
over the district by those who have
: either failed to post themselves Of
are TRYING to misrepresent true con
: ditions, that Kendrick Highway
2 District had no funds in the treas
, ury. There is over $4,000 in tn
, treasury, according to statemen
: by Treasurer E. W. Lutz. All sup
e plies, including $500 worth of iro
a culvert, are paid for, and only tn
e warrants which will be presented
S at the next regular meeting fo
2 road work done during the pas
e month, are outstanding. The dis
! trict is not IN very desperate shap
t financially, is it?
We haven't heard of single me-
plan of raising money to build roac
that is any better, If as good, as tn
k highway district. One man wh
l. is opposed to the highway dIstrlt
% idea, says better way is to hay
p each farmer dig up a dollar fc
:e every acre of ground he owns an
e apply this money on roads. Tn
e method places the entire burde
1t of road building upon the farme
l. which isn't right. We would al:
e like to see anyone enforce the co
as lection of this dollar an acre. +
l. would have troubles of his own.

Upcn careful perusal Of the
columns of the Gazette this week
you will find that our offer of last
week was not accepted. Those who
are endeavoring to disorganize
Kendrick Highway District failed
to publish their reasons for having
the district dissolved. We COM
pliment the gentlemen upon their
good judgement. After talking to
a large number of the residents of
the district we have yet to hear of
logical argument for having this
territory thrown back upon the
county. The chief argument ad-
vanced is that cit is for the best in
terests of the people within the dis
trlct." This is a broad statement
and to make it conclusive would
require something tangible to sub
stantiate it. We still firmly be-
lieve that if the people of Kendrick
Highway District were allowed a
free expression Of opinion on the
matter, it would be found that a
majority of them would say that

Over The County

Genesee News: At recent meet
ing of the local school board, gen.
eral business was gone over thoroly
and many things for the betterment
of the school next year were taken
up. 1t was decided to add another
grade teacher to the corps next year
and arrangements were also made
for another recitation room, which
will be newly furnished. 1t was
also decided to buy four typewriters
for use in the commercial course.
A ruling was made by the board
at this time that any teacher who
p, had not signed their contract by
Friday night, April 23, the place
would be declared automatically
vacant. This rule was made in
order that the board could make ar
rangements to fill all places that
were not filled at that time.

A GUBERNATORLAL BLUE
 BIRD

There have been a number of excellent names suggested for the Democratic nomination for Governor, any one of whom would make a splendid execu- tive. Thus far it does not ap- pear that any of those most prominently mentioned are making an organized effort to advance theim claims. This is as it should be, for the govern orship is one office that should seek the man.
 However, while the Demo- crats are thus early seeking a gubernatorial Bluebird, it is more than probable that. like Tyltyl and Mytyl, they have the object of their search right at hand in the person of Arizona's brilliant and able Attorney General, Wiley Jones, who has proven himself q winner upon all occasions in the past.

FRUIT TREES A GOOD :
 INVESTMENT --- :

The ordinary individual crav- es a certain amount of fruit in his diet. On the average farm fruit constitutes only about 6 per cent in value of all food con- sumed. This percentage could be increased to good advantage making fruit a more important part of the diet, says the United States Department of Agricul- ture.
 Many farmsteads include fruit trees and grape arbors as a part of the planting scheme around the dwelling. A small area of the farm devoted to ap- pie trees, peach trees, berry plants, or other fruit suited to the region, is a good investment for any farmer. About two- thirds of the fruit consumed by the average farm family is pro- produced on the home farm.
 The above, published by the Department of Agriculture does not yet apply to the farms about Williams, but there is no reason why it should not apply in the near future. .> Are YOU going to plant fruit trees this year?
 Planting time is nearly here. No time should be lost in gett- ing a shipment of trees on the way, if you do not have an or der already en route.

Spuds Cheaper in Williams

It is generally supposed that the cost of living is higher in Williams than in California. A case in which this is not true has been called to the attention of the public, by the firm of John son & McConkey, during the present week. This firm has been offering potatoes at cents a pound while in California the same grade of potatoes has re- tailed for 6 cents and up. MT. Johnson might have asked 6 cents, also, had he followed the market, but having bought at a lower price last fall he gave his customers the advantage of his good judgment. He main tained this price thruout> the week, altho offered 5 cents for his spuds for shipment to other points. It pays to keep track of the specials offered by this store.
