Boost For Better Roads Into Kendrick KENDRICK GAZETTE Subscription Price $1.50 In Advance VOLUME 32 KENDRICK. LATAH COUNTY. IDAHO. FRIDAY. MARCH 10. 1922 NUMBER 10 UTAH COUNTY NEWSJARAGRAPHS Clipped From The Columns of Neighboring Papers. Star-Mirror: Thorough investi gation of the killing of three deer on Wednesday in Wauncher gulch, near Kendrick, is being made by L. E. Brooks, deputy state game warden, according to announcement Monday. The case is looked upon as one of the worst in the history of th< county, as the deer are not fit for human consumption at this time of the year. Deputy Game Warden Brooks was called Thursday to investigate the •case and found that three deer had been killed. One buck had been killed outright and a large doe had been crippled so badly that Mr. Brooks was forced to kill the animal. The killers had apparently killed an other animal and had made away with it. The big doe, wounded, was found by the roadside and killed by Mr. Brooks, and the buck was also found close to the road, having run a short distance before dropping dead "I don't know as yet who the par ties were, but every effort is being made to find out and prosecution will follow," said Mr. Brooks. "It is the worst case I have ever known since 1 have been game warden and I look upon the matter as criminal. The deer are not fit for human consump tion at tihs time of the year and the approach of fawning time makes the offense doubly serious." Mr. Brooks reported that there were many deer around Wauncher gulch. The winter has driven them in to seek food on the sides of the canyon where the snow has disap peared. 6 '< r \V Genesee News: Fred Hampton is the proud owner of what is probably the finest sweater in this section of the country. There happened to be a very fine black sheep on the Hampton-Driscoll ranch possessed of very fine "black" wool which took Fred's eye. The "black sheep" of the ranch was shorn of its wool, which was turned over to Mrs. A. Kern, who washed, carded and spun it into yarn, after which she knit it into a sweater for Mr. Hamp ton. A garment like the one made by Mrs. Kern cannot be bought on the market and Mr. Hampton is justly .proud of it. Y Y \ Y \/ Y ^ Y Deary Press: A vacancy having occurred on the highway board on ac count of the resignation of Commis sioner K. L. Karlson, the commis sioners have put the matter of choos ing his successor up to the voters of the highway district. The election is to be held from 1 o'clock to 5 Satur day afternoon, March 11, at the highway office. I Since no method of nominating j candidates has been announced, it is j presumed that each voter may vote for whoever he pleases, the high man to be declared elected. A good man is wanted, of course. It would be a good Idea for all who are interested in the welfare of the district to agree upon one candidate, and work for his election. Juliaetta Record: Mrs. Manford Nutt and daughter, Miss Crystal, went to Lewiston the first of the | week, where an X-ray examination was made of the injuries sustained by the latter in a coasting accident about a month ago. It was found that a small bone in the foot was crushed which prevented the injuries from healing and it will probably be some time before the injuries are completely healed.

Big Melon Acreage Juliaetta.—The unprecedented de mand of last year for Juliaetta water melons has prompted the local grow- : ers here to. put in the largest acreage ' this year ever put in in a single sea-1 son. Some idea may be had of the . volume of this industry when it is j stated that it will require more than to p!a this 200 pounds of seed year's crop here. Wajter Cochran and Creighton Bid dison will put In. together 25 acres; J. N. Steensma will fut In 15 acres; A. E. Jones, 10 acres, constituting the heaviest growers, but there will be numerous growers on a smaller scale, w'hieh will no doubt swell the total acreage to 100 acres. Reckoning 20 tons to the acre and 100 acres—that would mean 4,000, 000 pounds of watermelons from a village of less than 500 population, in a single year.

Interest in Dairy Stock A meeting of farmers interested in purchasing good dairy stock was held at the Farmers' store in Moscow on Wednesday, March 1st. This was the third meeting of this nature held during the past six weeks. County Agent Fletcher was elected tempo rary chairman of the meeting and asked to carry on correspondence for the farmers. The meeting was ad dressed by Mr. Gabby, dairy herds man for the University of Idaho, and Mr. Fletcher. Farmers present at the meeting wanted a total of more than one car i oa( j Q f dairy cows, but it was the concensus of opinion that if dairy cat tie are to be shipped in from other states the farmers should find out bo w niany cattle are wanted in the county as a whole and then arrange to send representatives to purchase ,v,p cattle. The overhead expense per animal will decrease as the number cattle purchased increases. The meeting elected a committeeman in each community to bring the pro P (,sp d purchase of dairy cattle to the attention of the farmers of the com munity and get information in regard to cattle wanted. Committeemen listing dairy cattle wanted in the territory tributary to Kendrick are: Kendrick, G. A. Way i an d; American Ridge, Wm. Cox; Lit tie Bear Ridge, Marcus Anderson; will son son, and it also the the as two ing the by Big Bear Ridge, A. N. Rognstadt, and | Cedar Creek, Everett Whisler. Those present at the meeting be | lieved that Latah county farmers would be apt to get the best grade of j dairy stock by purchasing good two ;. ear old heifers, bred to calf late in the spring or during the summer. Judging by the experience of farm ers of shipped of the southern Idaho who have I the in cattle during the past j winter, such animals should cost ! be $90 to $95 laid down in Moscow, with ; all overhead charges figured in. It ; appears that farmers needing fiuan rial assistance to purchase cattle will he able to borrow all necessary funis ter from their local banks, so no s-eps have been taken to form any central 1 to loan association. ! There will be another meeting at in the Farmers' store in Moscow on Thursday, March 16th, at 1:30 p. m. ter All desiring stock should attend that j to meeting as definite arrangements for ! the shipment of cattle will be com-[ to pleted at that meeting. j ._ p- l •!

NOW POISON THE Campaign on in Nez Perce County The squirrel campaign w^ich is be ing carried on in Nez Perce county will be conducted in the Southwick and Leland communities March 16. At Southwick at 9 A. m. and Lelasd at p. m. Through the efforts of County Agent Skuse the biological survey funds for the extermination of squir rels on public lands have again been secured for such lands in this county and it has been arranged that Mr. D. D. Green of the biological survey will go with Mr. Skuse to the com munity metings, where he will dis tribute the free poison for the public land to farmers whose holdings are adjacent to such land. The extension division of the uni versity purchases the chemicals for the whole state, after calling for bids, and each county in turn has the priv ilege of buying from them. It is nec essary, however, to have the funds there before poison can be shipped out, so it is necessary for those desir ing to get poison to deposit with their community chairman on the pest control project at the rate of $1.25 for each ounce of strychnine alkaloid that they desire to secure. One ounce is sufficient to treat eight quarts of oats and this amount of poison is ordinarily figured as suf ficient for 80 acres of land, with the average amount of squirrels on it. With each ounce of the strychnine will be the one-eighth ounce of sac charin and directions for mixing and distributing. At the end of the sea son the funds on hand will be re turned prorata to those securing poi son, as it is handled at cost and the deposit required is made large enough to cover the expense of handling. The alkaloid costs $1.05 and the saccharin 15 cents f. o. b. Boise. Deposits should be made to get amount of poison needed for entire year, as it is doubtful about getting it later in the season. Deposits can also be made at the county agent's office in the postoffice building at Lewiston and all deposits should be made at once, as the funds must be in the hands of the county agent by March 3. Flu on the Increase Reports indicate that the peak of the disease has not beer, reached as yet. there being an increase in the number of cases reported in the last two days. The Department cf Public Welfare has decided that the follow ing rules will be in force: 1. No person showing evidence of the beginning of the disease, such rs by colds, sneezing, coughing, watery eyes, etc., to be allowed in any public gathering, such as schools, churches, theatres, crowded stores or other gatherings of people. 2- Persons in charge of such public gatherings will be requested to ask such persons to leave the place, School teachers are requested to send any child home that shows any of the above symptoms and to notify the school nurse, who will investigate the case. People are notified that there will be no further placarding of homes from which the disease is reported. Parents are urged to keep their child at home and in bed if it shows s-gns of becoming ill. It is much bet ter to take the disease In time and break it up than to allow the child to run loose until the disease is well developed, as this frequently results in complications. People are also urged to take bet ter care of their health in general; to see that their homes are properly heated and ventilated and otherwise to do everything possible to avoid the lowering of their vitality. In the average case, the course of the dis ease seems to run for a period of two and a half to three or four days. Cases with a high temperature are "alescing ^before^esLnUng their duties Physicians are requested to report £. ach day to . th f He t aU n h f ° f . ticer and also to the Department of Public Welfare, cases. ______ _________ the number of new It is advisable to isolate the person ill at home from the rest of the fam ily as much as possible, and thus avoid any unnecessary exposure. This is an excellent time to commence the practice of good health laws.
