Wade Keen, formerly of American
Ridge, wrote to a friend here from
Spokane that he was very much dis
appointed that the bond election
failed to carry. He said that while
he was somewhat prejudiced against
voting bonds before he went to
Spokane, he had changed his mind
entirely since he saw what good
roads really meant to a community.
He is in the real estate business
now and says it is n Of the most
important considerations in selling
a farm, whether or not it is on a
good highway. He also said that in
comparing land values here and in
the Spokane country, a hard sur
faced road from Kendrick to Mos
COW would make it an easy matter
to sell American Ridge land for
$3.50 per acre. Mr.. Keen owns land
on American Ridge and has made
big money farming. SO his opinion
ought to carry weight.

What Kendrick needs, and. has
needed for a number OF years, more
than any other n thing Except
roads, is more houses. 1t is said
there are no good lots available on
which to build. This is a mistake.
We know of one place in a desirable
part OF town where sufficient
ground can be purchased on which

built. The lots need practically no
grading and would make very nice
places on which to build. Building
material Of some kinds is high but
there seems to be little indication
that it will drop much in price for
some time to come. If the town IS
gong to grow it is a sure thing
more houses will have to be put up
as everything available IS occupied.
NSecretary Daniels says that the

very i'll. A trained nurse from
Spuokane is caring for them. They
are both recovering. Mrs. Joe

were rs cases reported, and Clarks-
ton reported so cases the early
