Juliaetta Record: C. C. Combs re
turned Sunday from a trip to Lewis
ton where he went to secure some
lime and sulphur spray for spraying
his orchard. He purchased a bar
rel of the spray and will divide
with some of his neighbors and says
he can get plenty more if others
want it. Mr. Combs says the indica
tions are for a fine fruit crop with
the exception of peaches, which ne
says are practically all killed in
Clarktson, and at least half the
peach trees were killed by the ex
treme' cold weather last winter.
v*Even the rose bushes were killed to
within a few inches of the ground
However, cherries, he says, seem to j
have escaped uninjured and j
the indications are for a larger
yield than last year unless they
should be killed by frosts later.
Other fruits will be plentiful.
Fruit in this locality, according to
examinations he has made of orch
ards recently, show that there are
excellent prospects for a good crop
of most all kinds of fruit with the
exception of peaches, and there will
be quite a f€w of them. Of course
there is some danger of late frosts,
which may cut down the yield but
the prospects at the present time
are excellent. Cherries appear to
be in fine condition and promise a
much heavier yield than last year.
The fruit crop here, Mr. Combs
says, is fully as far advanced as that
m Clarkston if not more so.
Deary Press: The Potlatch Lum
ber Company has contracted with
to
„ . _ . ...
the Spokane Paper Co. to supply the
latter with pulp wood from this
vicinity, and to this end has estab- ! "
Hshed headquarters in Deary with |
1
M. H. Malison in charge. White fir
timber will be cut and shipped to
Spokane in the* log. The company
made a trial shipment of pulp wood
to the Spokane concern some months ;
ago and the wood proved so satis-i
factory for the manufacture of | f
paper that the contract was made.,
!
There js a large amount of white fir
in this vicinity. It does not make
first class lumber, hence has not
heretofore had a market value. As
pulp wood, however, it can be turn
ed into the market. Practically all
the pulp wood in the vicinity of
Bovi 11 has been destroyed by forest
fires, hence the establishment of
headquarters here.
The Potlatch Lumber company
has rented the rooms over the Latah
County State Bank, in one of which
some office equipment has been in
stalled for the convenience of men
having charge of scaling and other
work in this vicinity. F. A. Pen
nington and Ed McGuire, in charge |
of work here* will occupy the
rooms. Mr. Malison's headquarters j
will be there also.
Genesee News: That the weather
man has been on a genuine March
tantrum is attested to by all—and
especially those who find it neces
sary to go forth to attend to busi
ness affairs. Up until Thursday
there had been just two days out
of twelve when snow had not faWen
at some time during each 24 hours
and Saturday morning of last week
the ground was covered to a depth
of 4J inches and a few sleds ven
tured out early in the morning, but
it was found to be a little soft.
Likewise a good many Fords and a
few automobiles may be seen at any
time, regardless of the weather or
roads.
On Thursday morning of
week there were three inches
this
0 t
Ui
snow on the ground and during the
week several installments of "that
million dollar rain" have fallen.
It is expected that Dr. Healy and
Paddy Ryan will soon begin to look
into the affairs of the weatherman,

M. Bleck of Spokane arrived Tues
day afternoon to renew old acquain
tances in this community. He will
vjsit his two sons, Henry and
on Potlatch ridge, before returning
home. The doctors in Spokane ad-,
vised that he move to a lower al
titude for a while as his heart has
been affected, due to an attack of,
influenza last winter. He expects
to move either to Lewiston or Kend-j
rick in the near future.

short service was held at the cemet

He
. . ...
died at his home here April 1, 19 ,
from acute pneumonia. He was a
member of the senior class of the
loca.l nigh school and had he lived
less than two months longer, would
have graduated with honor. He
took a course at the Lewiston Busi
ness College a year ago last winter,
but returned here to finish his high
school work. He was very popular;
among his class mates and took a
great deal of interest in his school
work. His ambition was to finish
school-that he might secure a good
position so that he could make a
home for his mother.
He leaves a mother, three sisters,
Mrs. Haines and Mrs. Hatfield of
Lewiston and Laura, of Kendrick;
two brothers, William of Culdesac
and Charles of Lewiston.

he appointed Charles McKeever
game license vendor for Kendrick,
Heretofore there have been three

l,cense vendors but Mr. Brooks says
it eliminates considerable work for
his office if there is but one vendor
in a town. He has cut the number
to one even in Moscow.
Mr. Brooks stated that a change
in the game laws will require farm
res who wish to shoot squirrels to
buy hunting licenses. The law
now reads that anyone who wishes
to carry a gun in field or forest
must first procure a license. Ac
cording to the letter of the law any
one caught carrying a gun without
a license is breaking the game laws
of the state.___

close watch to see that the closed
season on fishing is not violated.

Cijgte, was. ,approximately .4U0 feet;
long and 20 feet high at its highest j
point. It was located atoout a mile |

reservoir covering approximately j
five acres. The town of Troy is
now dependent upon a well and the j
water supply has to be pumped '
from a well at a low point into a
reservoir above town. It is expen
sive and the water supply thus
gained is inadequate for the size of
the town.

welfare of the town were disposed
.
ot.
A petition was received from the
residents in the lower end of town
asking that Gene Chinaman's hog
pens be removed as they were be
coming a nuisance. The board took
no action in the matter as the pens
are not in the city limits and there
fore out of the jurisdiction of the
town authorities.

present condition is a menace to the
safety of the public. The fire hy
drants were also ordered painted a
bright red, both for the improved
appearance it would give the town
and so that they could be more
easily distinguished from a distance
! in case of fire.
The matter of the cement walk»

board toward getting the walks
built in the most satisfactory and
economical manner.
