Grounds and Crippled
Players Give Us Bad "Rep."
BlackfOOt O-St. Anthony IL.

OldCkIOOI O-ct. AutnOHy Isl.
Blackfoot went up against the strong
st. Anthony team last Sunday expecting
with the aid of catcher Wade who play
ed with the St. Anthony team in the
early part of the season, to give the St.
Anthony team a chance to show that
they were ball players. But Wade prov
ed to be "the man with the loud bassoon
in the Ancient Mariner" who stoppeth
one in three" Five st. Anthony players
crossed the home plate in the first two
innings as result of Wade's inability
to catch the ball. The second disap-
pointment was the condition Of the st.
Anthony ball grounds. 1t is absolutely
absurd for people to expect to see fast
ball on such grounds and it was quite a
hardship on the Blackfoot team to have
to play on such grounds when not famil-
lar with the hills, valleys and water
courses.
After the game was lost to st. An
thony in the first few innings, the st.
Anthony team took things easy and
made some stops that seemed phenom
email as the players were not working
under the tension Of hard fought
game.
In the fourth inning, Steltz who had
been pitching went behind the bat and
Klemmerer was put in the box, but they
could not oxercome the big lead already
amassed by st. Anthony. Hastings on
third base made SOME nice stops, his
clean fielding was feature Of the game.
Pitcher Thompson pitched good game.
He seemed to depend on his fast straight
one and gave no walks.

and some other things in his garden that
look promising.

Inc following verse taken from Good
wins Weekly, reminds us of the light in
which the pioneers were held by Judge
Goodwin after third of century of as
sociation with them.
The Old Boys.
Nearly all gone: The royal, splendid host,
That blazed the trails across this western
land
Nearly all dead 1t is at heavy cost
That States are framed, that continents are
spanned
To drive the frown from forests deep, and
The smiles to warm upon the deserts face;
10 give the wild the rule Of righteous laws,
And for Enlightenment to make place.
Nearly all dead; soft be their sleep and sweet;
They followed duty; from them rose no cry
When furious storms In their faces beat.
And in their hearts they felt their fond hopes
die
Sweet be their sleep; they were royal baod,
Their lives were glorious, their work was high
and grand.

Dealing with Burning OIL.

To extinguish burning oil do not
throw water on the flames, for it will
only spread them by causing the oil
to float. The right plan is to throw
on -four, earth or sand. Any of these
things Will soak up the generally
paraffin from an overturned lamp
and quickly extinguish the fire.

trips and around the city. He was
gone from here just two weeks, and
says he could have spent a month to
good advantage. He considers the Ex-

Don't Forget Idaho Fruit.

Now is the time for Idaho to make as
good a horticultural showing at the
Lewis and Clark Exposition as she has
along mining, educational and agricul-
tural lines, and the Idaho Fair Commits
sioners want fruit. So far the fruit show
ing has been small, although, of course,
it is early in the season. Three or four
growers, all of whom with one exception
operate at or near Boise, having sent
contributions, and while the quality of
what has come is satisfactory, the guam
tity and variety are not great. A single
table bearing couple dozen plates of
gooseberries, cherries and currants con-
stitutes the bulk of the fresh fruit dis
play at present.
ave want big, luscious late cherries,
berries of a size and standard that will
advertise the state and samples of Ida
hos many other fruits as they come in,"
said M. J. Vessels, superintendent of the
agricultural and horticultural exhibits.
"We have astonished Fasteners with
our grain and ores and school, and the
fresh fruit is needed to round out the
showing. Consignments should be care
fully packed and shipped by express to
the Idaho State Building, Portland"
The Idaho building may not be crowd
ed with fresh fruit, but people are not
going away with the idea that orchards
do not flourish in the Gem of the Noun
tains state. Several dozen long jars,
containing big specimens of all the hor-
ticultural productions as to the produc-
tiveness Of Idaho fruit trees. Fresh
fruit, however, always makes the best
impression, and for that reason, the
Commissioners are anxious to get good
exhibits from any section of the state.
Exhibits are marked with the card and
address of the grower.

given any sectional exhibit by an official
of the Lewis and Clark Exposition has
been rendered the Idaho agricultural
display. H. W. Goode, president of the
Exposition, was the speaker, and to a
cluster of Idaho people he said in pub
lie address at the Lewiston reception:
"The state of Idaho, I may say with
out fear or favor, has the best agricul-
tural exhibit of any state or section at
the Fair"
For moment or two the Idahoans
present did not grasp the full meaning
of the expected tribute, coming as it
did from tho leading official source of
the whole Exposition. When they did,
applause went up that fully demonstrat-
ed the appreciation of the auditors.
President Goodies expression is shared
by pretty nearly every visitor in the
building, and the display Of grains and
grasses is the means of sending several
families weekly to Idaho.

Should the plumb line make an angle
with the first line marked on the

be exactly in the middle between these

Determination Of Line. Of Ditch.
To use this instrument for locating
the line Of the ditch, calculate the
amount which the grade should rise
in a distance equal to the length of
the, base of the triangle to secure the
fall which is best to. convey the water,
according to character of soil, etc., a
matter which will be discussed later.
Under one end of the base fasten a
small block with a thickness equal to
the desired rise. Below is given a
table, showing the thickness of blocks
which should be used on triangles of
different lengths to give various
grades. s'-.s,.. "a d.. -

ment will hold back the water to the
base Of the higher one, begin with the
end A at the base of the upper levee
and level the triangle in the direction
of the proposed levee, measure the
distance from the end G to the sur
face; from this point use the triangle
again in the same way and repeat the
operation until the sum of all the
measurements made from C to the
surface is equal to the height of the
levee it is intended to construct. Hav-

1t is obvious that the triangle is
most serviceable in determining
grades on land which has considerable
slope, because more appreciate differ
ences in grade will be noted in each
use of its length. The difficulty of
reaching correct conclusions as to the
best position for a ditch or contour
check Increases, as a rule, with the
fiattening out of the surface. But the
use of the triangle is only recommend
ed for smallscale work in the absence
OF more accurate instruments, and un-
der such conditions it is very service
able.
Measurement of Small Streams,

When a block of required thickness
to give the desired grade has been
fastened to the triangle, drive peg
at the starting point with its top, say,
inches fro mthe proposed bottom OF
the ditch. Place the end of the level
ing apparatus under which the block
is fastened upon this peg, with the
other end pointing in the general
direction from which the ditch is to
come. The bottom of the block must
rest upon the top of the peg. Bring
the apparatus to level and set a peg
inches long so that its top just
touches the bottom of the forward end
Of the apparatus. The lower end Of
this last peg will then mark the bot
tom of the proposed ditch. This
operation will be simplified by putting
leg just inches long upon the for
ward end Of the triangle. It will then
be only necessary to swing the tri-
angle around until the base Is level,
when this leg will rest upon the bot
tom of the proposed ditch. Drive a
peg here, which will, like the first, be
6 inches high from the ditch bottom,
carry the triangle forward to this peg,
and proceed as before. '-&.
Contour lines for checks or dis
tributing bitches can be located with
the aid Of the triangle. To locate a
contour line Ga line passing through
points Of equal elevation), as required
in the construction of a check levee,
drive a peg until its top has con-
venient elevation from the ground, say
1 foot. Put leg of equal length on
one end of the, triangle and rest the
other end on the peg, then swing the
triangle around until the plumb line
shows the base to be level. At this
point drive a second peg and proceed
as before. If the pegs are driven so
that the tops are at the height of the
proposed levee they may be retained
as grade stakes as well as line stakes
for the embarkment.

living, as his massive frame and 900
