A good game of ball last Sunday be-
tween the Caldwell and Boise kids"
drew quite a crowd at the park. The
Youngsters played an excellent game.
especially the Caldwell nine. they only
making four errors. The Caldwell
boys won, the score standing to 26 in
their favor. This second nine, some
of whom are scarcely bigger than a
willow bat, play excellent ball, and
could easily beat the regular mines of
Nampa or Star. If they improve with
years there is no reason why Caldwell
should not always hold the Idaho
championship. In three years from
now the regular nine will be recruited
from their ranks.
The College Of Idaho. which has been
running in Caldwell for year
with fattering results, in the Presby-
terrain Church, marked a new epoch in
its career this week: John r. MOrri-
son and w. G. MaXey donated four lots
just above w. V. Tukey's place to the
institution, and last Tuesday Il contract
was let to &. II. Van Wyngarden for
the building thereon of a frame two
story college building, 26xo0, at cost
of $1,000. 1t will, of course, be out 4
wing Of the main building, but will
meet present demands very nicely. 1t

be completed and ready for occupancy

ordered oyer $500 worth of apparatus,
and the college will be fitted up with

cational purposes. The building will

soon be ready for distribution. The

One of the most absurd stories set
afloat lately in the daily papers is that
Chinese gardener in Caldwell was
discovered sick with the leprosy. This
Old leprosy gag" is getting as common
as it is absurd. We doubt if there is a
man in the country who eyer saw Il
case. The facts are these: Old Gen"
