COMMERCIAL CLUB
BANQUETS AT HOTEL
Tuesday evening the Kendrick
Commercial Club met at the Hardi
son Hotel and took supper and held
a smoker, after which they adjourned
to the office or the Gazette, where
they held a very interesting session.
This was the first meetiug of the
club for some t.me and they had
considerable to talk about and to lay
plans for the future of the town and
surrounding country. The main
thought of the men present, which
consisted of farmers as well as men
in town, was for the betterment of
the town of Kendrick. Public im
provements in the way of the citi
zens painting their houses, fixing up
their old sidewalks and fences. The
aim is to put an air on this little
town that will make it attractive for
the traveler, who may wonder this
way. The farmers think and know
that when this town is thriving and
everything on the hum that it has an
influence toward enhancing the value
Record Prices for Livestock
Lewiston, Idaho, Jan. 28.—Rec
ord prices for beef and mutton
wethers are now being paid in the
Lewiston country and new records
will be established within the next
few weeks, according to buyers now
in the city. At the present time
beef steers are worth 6 3-4c per
pound and mutton wethers are worth
5c per pound. Hogs are quoted -at
$6.75 pér hundred and material ad
vances on all livestock may be ex
pected at any time.
"The stock is not suffering during
thï present storm as the prices are
so high that stockmen have their
herds in good qu?rters and have
provided themselves with an abun
dance of feed," said a well known
buyer yesterday. "The record price
for beef for the Lewiston country is
being offered right tow and that
record was established for only
choice lets, while the same grade of
steers at this time would bring a
price above the highest record of
the Lewiston country. There is
every prospect that good steers will
worth 8 cents per pound before
grass fed cattle are on the market
next spring. Mutton is also at a
record price and the too price for
hogs will be reached before many
weeks.
LOCAL BIRDS WIN CUP
AND BLUE RIBBONS
It is a very queer thing that the
Moscow papers do not make the big
talk about the poultry show held in
their city that they generally do
when anything goes on there. It is
very easy to answer. The poultry
owners of the town of Moscow spent
considerable money buying good
blooded fowls and went to a great
deal of expense getting them ready
for the show, satisfied that they
would pull down the coveted prizes.
Little did they think they were run
ning up against the hardest proposi
tion they had ever tackled in the
show business. The thirty odd
number of birds sent up from this
vicinity meant they had something
to do to beat them. The silver cup
had been won-last year by a Mos
cow man and he of course expected
of their lands. Good roads was one
subject dwelt on to some extent. A
rock crusher is a thing to be obtained
so the roads can be put in condition
that they should be. With the mer
chants and fanners using the public
spirit shown at this meeting, if it
was true blue and not just a thought
of. the evening, this town will be
woke up in the coming of the spring
and will be doing as it must to make
of it what it should. The continual
boosting of the town paper Is use
less unless the citizens of the town
do not come forth and carry out
some of the suggestions. What is
worth having is worth going after,
and those who make the demands
and then work for the demands are
the ones who get what they want
and must have.

Fall Wheat Growing
R. Hoffman, on a return trip from
Lewiston, was in town a few hours
yesterday and reports 'the fall grain

he could keep it. But when the

Harriman interests are planning the
construction of a new Une to Los

Huntington. The . ew interest has
resulted from a definite announce

as it was possible for him to see
everything was all,right and shortly

ple. The item appearing in the
Portland Oregonian is as follows:
"Fully 475 miles will be clipped
from the distance between Los An
geles and Spokane by the proposed
railroad to be built by the Harriman
interests in the north.
"Los Angeles officials of the
Southern Pacific railroad declare
that the survey of the new road has
been practically completed. The
length will be 1170 miles. This is
only 100 miles longer than the short
est route between Spokane and San
Francisco.
"According to the latest informa
tion the proposed line will extend
from Spokane to Lewiston, along
the Snake river to the Oregon Short
Line, from Nampa to Winnemucca,
to Hazen, to Owenyo, to Mojava,
thence to Los Angeles."
It is to be remembered that this
new proposed road survey was made
along the Potlatch through Kendrick
some time ago. And it is reported
that if the road is built from Spo
kane it will come through Kendrick,
according to the former survey.
