- Calling attention TO a published
statement that every -kool warehouse
In the United States is bursting with
wool, with virtually no market for the
domestic clip, and enormous impcr-
tations of raw wool and wool tops at
New York, Philadelphia, San Fran
cisco and Seattle; that at Boston alone,
since January 1, importations amount
ed to 106 hillion pounds, equal to 167
million pounds of domestic wool, or
about so per cent of our entire clip
for the year 1920, a subscriber at viii
sey writes in to inquire why The State
Journal opposes a tariff on wool. OPP
position to a tariff on wool is based
primarily on the sprincipIe of the
greatest good to thls greatest number.
There are approximately 10O.0o0,OO0
persons in this, country who wear
wool clothing to some extent. Any
thing planned to false the price they
must pay should be frowned upon.
Another reason for opposition to an
extension of tariff restrictions is that
the future prosperity Of this country
and of the world depends upon a free
Interchange of commodities II We
do not buy we cannot sell and our pro-
ductive capacity was so expanded by
the demands of the war that we must
sell our surplus. products abroad. 1t
might be added-that If there be the
enormous accumulation of wool in this
country that is reported enactment of
any measure designed to restrict i'm
portation would be like locking the
stable door after the horse is stolen.

Numerous efforts have been made
to saddle responsibility for the present
business depression upon some one or
two causes. For-some time 1t was
generally felt that the banks and high
money rates were the chief offenders
in this respect. The fact is that the
war, in which almost every Industrial
nation took part, destroyed an enor-
nous amount of real capital. By. no
reasoning can careful student OF

The federal government reports
that this country is now 100000
homes short. This doesn't look very
much as tho being landlord afforded
an unlimited field for profit and prof

charged that there is conspiracy to
prevent persons from building houses
but that may come later.

Highway District Notes

The road from Little Bear ridge
to kendrick, which was badly wash
ed out along the banks of Bear
creek, was rebuilt, the job beng
completed the first of this week. 1t
is still necessary to ford the creek
at one point because Of the bad con-
ditipn of one OF the bridges. Ihe
bridge cannot be repaired until the
water is lower.
The commissioners plan to do
away with the old wooden bridge
which crosses Little Bear creek.
They will move the steel bridge
from its present location TO point
just above the forks of the creek and
make the crossing over Bear creek,
eliminating the crossing over Little
Bear creek. This Will necessitate
building quarter of a mile of new
road up the creek. but as it does
away with one bridge, the commits
sioners believe it will be the
economical and satisfactory way in
the end. The cost OF moving the
bridge and building the quarter
mile stripe of road is estimated at
S7O0.
The commissioners figure the cost
to the district on account of the high
water damage to be in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. However, they still
believe thev will have sufficient
funds available to build the one
mile strip of surfaced road from the
bridge across the Potlatch at the
upper end of town, to the mouth of
Wandcheer gulch.

Hamleys Visit Kendrick

Mr.. and Mrs. John Hamley and
daughter and Mrs. Hampton, all of
Pendleton, Oregon, arrived here
Wednesday to visit old friends.
They drove from their home at
Pendfeton IN their Buick car.
MIR. HamIey used to own the har-
ness and saddle shop here, but sold
out about fifteen years ago ,and
opened shop at Pendleton. While
there he developed a remarkable
business and has been and is still
making the greatest saddles in the
world, the wonderful "Pendleton
Round Up Saddles" which are
known wherever saddles are used.
Mr.. Hamley's success in developing
his business is no doubt due largely
to the fact that he has established
something better IN tie line of sad
dies than anyone else has ever done
and has made them after an original
pattern which puts them in a class
by themselves.
The members of the Hamley fam
lily were very much surprised to see
how greatly the town had developed
during the past fifteen years. Many
changes were noted and most of
them Improvements. Their home
was in the house now owned by the
E. H. Dammarell family.

Chester Baker a Suicide

Chester Baker, while visiting at
the home of lsham Morgan OF Texas
ridge, shot himself through the
head with 3840 caliber rifle, Sun
day evening at o'clock. The top
of his head was blown off by the
shot, so that death was lnstantan-
eCus.
lsham Morgan and Chester Baker
attended a dance at the Elwood
school house on Texas ridge Satur-
day night. At the dance Baker had
an epileptlc fit, being frequently
subject TO these spells. On the way
home from the dance he kept re-
peating to Mr.. Morgan how badly
he felt over making a scene at the
dance. The following day he had
several more of these spells and be-
came very despondent. Mr.. Nor
gan comforted him the best he could
and told him not to mind about it
that 1t would be all right. At five
O'Clock he went out to do the chores,
leaving Baker in the house. When
he came back he found the young
man lying on the floor with a great
er part Of his head blown off.
Sheriff Woody and Coroner Grice
were notified at once and drove
from Moscow that night in a car.
On arriving at the scene they soon
decided that it was a PLAIN case of
suicide and that an inquest was uu-
necessary.
Baker had written a note to his
father, William A. Baker, second
hand dealer of Lewiston, as follows:
"Kendrick, Idaho, April 3, 1921.
Dear papa: | will try to write you
a few lines to let you know am
alive yet, but think | will leave the
world for good, so tell them all
goodbye for me. | will leave my
money here for you, $12. My clothes
are here, too, so goodbye. Chester
Baker,"
Chester Baker was 80 years old
He was quite well known in this
community as his father lived on
the old Jack Bailey place until
about year ago. and the Young
man often visited here. He was not
married and is survived by his
father and two brothers. The
father came up from Lewiston on
the morning train, Monday to make
arrangements for the funeral which
was held Tuesday on Texas ridge
The body was buried in the Texa:
ridge cemetery beside that of hi:
: mother, who died several years ago

Dray Team Over Cliff

Frank Chamberlain had narrow
escape fl ON death last Wednesday
morning. when his dray team,
which he was driving, backed the
wagon over the cliff back of the
HoIlada residence near the old
school house.
Mr.. Chamberlain had heavy
load on the wagon and was pulling
1T out from behind the old barn on
the Hollada property. The footing
was bad for the horses and after
attempting the pull gave 1t up and
started to back. Mr.. Chamberlain
stayed in the wagon until he saw it
was useless to linger longer, so he
attempted to jump, but his overaIls
caught OH the wagon and caused
him to get a hard fall One leg
and hip were badly bruised and
skinned, but otherwise he escaped
unlnjured.
The horses backed the wagon over
the steep, rocky slope landing on
top of machine shed, which they
practically demolished, and the
wagon came smashing down on top
OF the horses. Aside from the loss
of considerable hair and skin the
animals were uninjured and were
put to work an hour later. The
wagon was badly smashed. 1t is
estimated that the team and the
wagon rolled and fell distance OF
200 feet or more, so it was rather
astonishing that the accident wa:
not more disastrous.

Jubilee Singers Good

One of the largest crowds ever
assembled in the Grand Theatre
greeted the Garner Jubilee Singers
last Monday evening. Every seat
in the house, including the gallery,
was taken and many had to stand.
It was the last number of the ly-
ceum and as expected proved to be
the most popular. 1t takes troupe
of colored entertainers to pull a
crowd.
The receipts at the door, exclusive
of season tickets, were S1I6. The
lecture, given by Bale some time
ago as a feature number of the
course, drew one cash admission, or
fifty cents. The fifty cents was from
a travelling man who had no place
else to spend the evening.
The Jubilee Singers gave a splen-
did musical entertainment. Along
their line they are exceptionally
good and the audience was well
pleased with the program.
A dance was scheduled to take
place after the entertainment and
it was the understanding that a
colored orchestra would furnish the
music. When the Garners arrived
it was learned that they could not
play the instruments. AS the dance
had been advertised quite exten
sively, Jack Bechtol. to save the
day, took over the dance and got ar
orchestra from the University OF
Idaho.

Theatre last Friday evening was
great success from every standpoint.
Ebenezer was .embalmed according
to the latest methods. The three
dark spots proved to be H. w.
Mort, Fred tlaig and o. E. Mac
Pherson. They carried out their
little comedy sketch IN highly en-
tertainlng manner.
The play that followed was enjoy
ed very much and the members of
the caste sustained their parts IN a
most commendable manner.
At the end of the first act it
developed that Kester Dammarell
was "The Fascinating Fanny
Brown. He appeared before the
audience in modern party gown
with the short sleeves and every
thing. His appearance alone brought
down the house.
The play consisted Of two acts and
many amusing situations were de-
veloped. John Dammarel who
took the part of Percival Gale got
Wayne Heres, alias Billy Pearson,
into a number of difficult scrapes,
but they were all Strengthened out
before the end OF the play. Mrs. j.
6. Gardner as Mrs. Caldwell had
quite serious time looking after
her daughter, Helen, better known
to the audience as Audrey Stanton.
Beulah Long as Dorothy Dudley,
was fiirt and Judging by con-
ditions existing before the curtain
tell, she was destined to marry
Billy Pearson. Edith Dammarell
as Florence Howe had an lawful
case" on Percival Gale, which end
ed most happily. Lena Bibb. as
Mrs. Meffet, was very nervous
individual whose principal fear
seemed to be men and one man in
particular, who afterwards develop
ed into Fannie Brown and then end
ed up as Henry Dudley, a college
Sophomore.
The scene OF the play was the liv-
ing roum of Percival's summer
hotel, ldlewild.

Exhibits Ready For Entry

Entries for the second annual
Sportsmen and Tourists fair at
Spokane, April l2-l5 close this week.

that no charges are made to exhibit
ors or the public has attracted con-
