Cross Section Main Street

NF. p. Oehler and two assistants,
of the firm OF Vanarsdale, Booth
and OehIer of Lewiston, arrived
Thursday to begin the work of cross
sectioning Main Street. This is the
first step IN the work of having the
street macadamlzed. 1t is estimat-
ed the cross section will require
three days to finish. These figures
will, when available, allow the next
step to be taken, which is the pub
lication of the ordinance of inten-

publication of this ordinance pro-
test meeting will be held. Every
thing being favorable, ten days will
then be allowed for the call fer

Southwick Will Crush Rock

Z Emrey jerks arrived from Lewis
ton the first Uf the week to start
county rock crusher at Southwlck.
The crusher was shipped from Lew
iston and arrived here Tuesday.
From here it will be started i'm
mediately to crush trial 1900
yal ds of gravel to be put on the
road at Southwick. The road will
be surfaced from the school house,
working west, with the ultimate
object of surfacing the four miles
of road from the school house to
the boundary of the Potlatch High
way District, on the Cameron road.
1t is believed that with the proper
cooperation this four mile strip
can be finished next fall. 1t is the
preliminary step toward complet-
ing hard surfaced road from
Southwick to Kendrlck and will be
a wonderful help toward the de-
velopement Of the Potlatch ridge
territory.
The plan is for the county to pay
for the crushing of the rock. Farm
ers have volunteered to do the haul
ing and if this method is successul
and the farmers do their part, it
will be but short time until the
strip of road is finished. Ii Potlatch
Highway District will then finish
the strip between the mouth of
Wanucher gulch and Ethe boundary
of the district at the point where
the Southwick road stops, the
people OF Potlatch ridge will have

Entertainment Success

The last number of the lyceum
course. given by the kendrick
scnool at the Grand Theatre last
Friday evening, was great success.
The program was exceptionally good
and was probably the most popular
number of the course. Home talent
PLAYS are always a drawing card
here and this one proved to be no
exception to the rule. Above the
regular season ticket holders, the
attendance was large enough to
bring the general admission sales
to $78. This leaves approximately
$50 in the lyceum treasury above
the cost of the course and all ex-
penses paid. Prof. White deserves
much credit for the success of the
lyceum this year, as he took over
all of the responsibility and man.

The Baord of Highway Commits
sioners met at the town hall last
Saturday afternoon in regular ses-
sion. After allowing the bills for
road work and disposing of the
regular routine of business, the
matter of considering the petition
to dissolve the district was brought
up. Before taking up the matter,
however, petition was filed by N
E. Ware, asking that the district be
not dissolved.
At previous meeting held week
before, the petition asking that the
district be disorganized, was filed
with the clerk and canvassed by the
board. 1t was found at that time
tnat the petition contained 49
names. After going over it again
at this meeting three names were
taken off as they were found to be
ineligible to sign. This left 46
bona fide names.
The protest or counter petition
was then read and it was found
there were 272 names on this
petition asking that the highway
district be not disorganized. Five
of these names were thrown out,
leaving Ct.
In addition to this petition there
was another one signed by 76 of
those who had signed the original
petition to dissolve the district.
The 76 who signed this petition
asked that their names be with
drawn. This left the petition got
ten up for the purpose of dissolving
the district. with only ITO names.
The petition asking that the district
be not dissolved having 267 names,
gave a majority of 81 against dis.
organizing the district. As this
clearly showed that large major
ity of the residents of Kendrick
Highway District favored maintain
ing the district, Commissioner
Walker moved that the petition ask
ing that the district be dissolved
be disaIlowed. The motion wa!
carried and the district saved.
The commissioners then talked

Over The County

Deary Press: Comparisons are often
instructive. For instance, COM
parlson between April, 1919 and
April 1920 as to what the Deary
Creamery produced and paid out
during those months.
In April, 1919, the creamery pro-
duced 1884 pounds of butter and
paid to the farmers for butter fat
$453.6O. In April 1920 the butter
output was 2541 pounds and the a.
mount paid out for butterfat was
$1453.77. Quite a difference in
spite of the late season and shortage
of feed.

Fire Wagon Here

N. E. Walker and A. V. Dunkle,
two city dads, went to Moscow Sun
day morning and brought the new
fire wagon back with them. They
trailed it behind Mr.. Walkers car.
The wagon includes a. complete
equipment Of ladders, a reel for
carrying fire hose, axes, lanterns,
etc. This wagon will probably be
kept on the hill so that there will
be fire protection all over town.
The Village Board also expects to
purchase several large hand fire
extinguishers. 1t has been the ex-
perlence of the fire departments
of other towns that a fire can be
put out better and with less damage
with the extlngulshers than with
water, providing it doesn't get toe
much of a start. To turn water in
to the attic of a house, for instance
would do so mucn damage to the
contents and to the house itself
that it is question whether il
would be worth saving. With the
chemical extlnguishers little dam
age is done to contents of a build
ing and with them quick actor
can be secured. As soon as fire
alarm has been secured Kendrick'.
fire equipment will be quite ad

Entertaining Bible Class

To the Editor Of Wop,dn's Page:
Dear Madam-Please send me some
games or suggestions on how to enter
tain a ladies' Bible class. Their ages
range anywhere from thirty to sixty,
guess. Our meeting will be Tuesday
evening, February 10. 1t is rather hard
to know just how to entertain these
ladies and I will be so glad il you can
help us. Might say we hold our meet
ing in the basement of the church also
there are three ladies acting as hos
tesses. We thought of having sandwiches
cut in heart shape, cookies, ice cream
and coffee as Refreshments.
MRS. G. L. B.
l am sending you my regular Valen-
tine party, but perhaps these games
would be rather too young for your en-
tertainment. A game that might be in
teresting to older people, and at the
same time appropriate for the occasion,
is guessing contest. Have as many
cards as there are guests, and on each
one write a number of quotations about
love from different poets. Award a prize
to the person who guesses the greatest
number of poets correctly.

suggest would grow there best? What
kind Of fern could l get to put in
a dish on the table and what kind in
the middle of the yard, something that
will hang over the sides? How early
should plant the vine?
GLOUCESTER.
Why don't you plant morning glories
beside the back porch? They climb over
anything, you know, and then you have
the pretty flowers coming out every day.
Of course, if you want just leafy vine
a Virginia creeper or an ivy would be
be better. Trumpet vine grows very
thick and has pretty red flower. You
would have to consult florist about
the time for planting. You can enrich
the soil by getting earth from the for
ist or from the woods, If you can get
to them.
Boston sword ferns and spider ferns
are about the best for table decoration.
A maiden hair fern or one Of the larger
plants would be better for outside, but
your florist will be able to tell you the
best kind to have. 1t would be pretty
to have number of tulips or cannas
in the centre of the tub and edge them
with sweet alyse. That grows very
thick and hangs over the edge, you
know.
