kENDR|Ck DOCTOR
CAR ROLLS DOWN EMBANK-
MENT-SOME GOOD APPLES
BEANS ARE DAMAGED.
(Kendrick Gazette)

Dr. Rothwell, while on his way to
the McCrea home Wednesday even
ing, drove over the bank at the Bear
Greek bridge. The car turned over
once and landed right side up in the
creek sbottom While the Doctor was
somewhat bruised, heswas not serious
ly injured. The only damage to the
car was broken top and tenders.
DR.. Rothwell walked to the Nc
Crea home, spent the evening there
visiting and didn't say a word about
his accident. The following morn
Mr.. McCrea heard of it after he had
come down to the store.
The accident was caused by the car
skidding on the slippery rails as it
was crossing the track. Thursday
morning is was driven up the bank
and to the garage under it's own
power.
Raised Good Apples
H. T. Huffman has this season
demonstrated that the Potlatch coun-
try can still raise fine apples if given
the proper care. About two years
ago he bought the big bench farm
which joins the townsite of Kendrick
on the west. The apple orchard was
in bad shape-full of coddling moth
and scale. The first year he pruned
the trees until there was very little
left of them. They were large trees,
probably twenty year old. Then he
sprayed them, several times last year
and also this year. He brought box
of King apples to the Farmers Bank
Monday that were as good as can be
raised anywhere. They were entire
ly free from worms or scale and were
large and uniform in sizs.
With thorough spraying, pruning
and cultivation very fine quality of
most any kind of fruit can be raised
here.
Rain Hurts Bean Crop
The wet weather of the past few
days is proving disastrous to the
beans in this section and also to quite
a large acreage of wheat. Many of
the beans are still green, although
they had been cut some time before
therain. 1t will be hard matter to
dry them sufficiently to thresh un-
less the weather changes at once. 1t
has been reported that some wheat is
sprouting in the shock The season
has been so short this year that
many farmers, even though they
have put forth every effort, have
found it impossible to get all of their
harvest work DONE There are thous
ands of acres of grain in the Potlatch
and Palouse country still in the
shock.
Have Basket Ball Team
Prospects are fairly good for a
high school basketball team this year.
Kendrick High School boys do not
play football, so as a usual thing the
basketball team is organized in the
early fall. The boys are handicapped
for playing room. The old high
school building has possibilities as
gymnasium but the floor is in very
bad shape and is really dangerous
on account of splinters. Prof. Nor
rison is endeavoring to devise ways |
and means of securing new floor,
also balcony. 1t is simply ques
tion of financing the proposition. |
The manual training boys are willing
to do the work Of laying the floor and
building the balcony, if they can Sc
cure the material.
Head On Collision
The speeder loaded with IL men
ran into the local freight Wednesday,
below Kendrick The freight stopped |
before the speeder struck, but even
then the impact broke two spokes \
out of the cowcatcher. The local had
been reported wrong bv the dispatch-
er. which was the cause of the ac4
cident. Before the speeder struck,
the crew left it. Nobody was hurt.
