DANVlLLE TEAM
EASILY DEFEATED

The crack Calvary basket ball team,
OF Wilkes Barre, took the locals into
camp at the Armory last night and
smothered them with whirlwind
style of play and an accuracy in shoot.
ing goals that left but little else for
the Danville boys to do but play de.
fensive game.
During the game Danville was able
to score but l6 points. while Calvary
had no trouble in running up total Of
55. The Wilkes Barre players were
thoroughly up on the game in all its
points. playing strenuous. scientific
ball. They played the game all the
time and every opportunity was turn-
ed into an advantage. Yet with all
their fast, aggressive playing their
game was clean and clear of fouls.
The Danville team, be il said to their
credit, played the best they could, even
when the visitors had them easily
beaten. The locals had poor shoot.
ing average. many goals being missed
that should easily have put marks to
their credit on the tally sheet.

Dispatches from Toxic state that
there is wide spread dissatisfaction
in Japan over the terms of peace
with Russia. The leading papers
declare that the result is an insult
to the nation. At mass meeting
held IN Toxic resolutions were
adopted denouncing the terms Of
peace and declaring that the nation
had been Inundated. Yesterday a
mob burned the residence of the
minister of the interior, ten Chris
ton churches, one mission school
and q number of police stations.
The police were totally unable TO
handle the angered crowds and last
night an imperial order was issued
establishing martial law in Toxic.

"A great many of the country
merchants who kick the hardest
about the eastern mail order houses
getting trade that they should have,
are Just the ones who do the least to
prevent it," says an exchange.
"You can't prevent vast majority
Of the people from buying where
they can buy the cheapest simply by
use of invective. The only way
country merchants can expect to
compete with mail order houses Is
by meeting them on their ground
by advertising. There is absolutely
no hope for the village merchant
until he corrects few of his time
worn views about advertising. Ad-
yertislng is simply telling what you
have to sell and the price. The ar
gument that you have been in bust
ness long time and the people
know does not suffice. The people
care very little about you personal
", but it is your goods and the price
1T which you sell them"

More towns die from want of con-
fdence on the part of some men,
and lack of public spirit, than from
rivalry of neighboring towns and
adverse surroundings, says the Idaho
Mountaineer. When man In search
Of a home or business location goes
TO town and finds the people brim-
full of hope and enthusiasm over
the prospects of the place and
earnestly at work to build up the
town, he soon becomes imbued with
the same spirit.

According to the returns as fur
nished by the state board of equaliz.
alton, there are five counties IN the
state in which there are no telegraph
lines, namely: BOISE, Cassia, Idaho,
Lemhi and Owyhee. The counties
without railroads are Boise, Cassia
and Lemhi. Next year the number
Of counties without railroads will lie
reduced to two and possibly ore.
In fact Cassia county now has all
road within It's borders, but as the
road is not yet completed, the state
board could not fix an assessed fall
nation upon 1t. This leaves Boise
and Lemhi counties as the only two
in which the snort of the locomotive
has never been heard. That Lehhi
will not much longer be left out in
the cold, is quite evident. A ndm-
Der of lines of railroad have been
built into that county on paper ahd
some one of these lines will material
ize IN the near fntnre-possibly next
year. Lemhi is county of wonderN
