GOOD BASE BALL
IN IDAHO CAPITAL

From advices received at baseball
headquarters, the Boise baseball men
have succeeded in raising all the money
required to send that baseball team
forth in strong financial condition.
According to reports they have raised
$4,000. The question as to whether
it will be Boise or Ogden is now
settled. All the other clubs of the
league-Butte, Spokane and Salt Lake
have voted for Boise, in preference
to Ogden. Boise is not a larger place
in point of population, but there is
large territory around the Idaho state
capital from which the baseball mana
gers will draw. Boise has shown dis
position to be a good baseball town in
the past, but it has had nothing but
an amateur show. AS a team in the
Pacific National league the game there
will receive good sized stimulus and
the town may prove surprise.

Horace, "and prepare them, if you

into the drawing room, where Sylvia

thou shalt return"
The day is strictly observed in the
