Polo was played from the backs Of
horses in Persia during the tenth and
eleventh centuries. At that time the
Persians in great contest, Iran versus
Turan, found their match in the Turks,
greatly to the disgust of King Afra-
slab. The Byzantine poet Miami sung
of polo in the twelfth century. Then
polo spread from Persia into central
Asia, India and Tibet in the sixteenth
century, when the great Emperor Ak
bar patronized it. In Japan the game
Is ut least 1,000 years old and is still

STORY OF IOWA WHISPER.
Picked Up Mare and Colt and Re- turned Them to Earth With

Talking about cyclones. the most peculiar circumstances I ever heard of took place over near Mingo 2i years ago" said II. ". Robinson. according to the Des Moines Register and Leader.
 One of those terrible twisters came tearing down from the southwest toward Mingo along late one summer afternoon. but apparently not in line with the town. Many of the citizens about Mingo saw it and most of them took to shelter.
 over in the field in the direct path of the whirling mass were a mare and colt feeding Suddenly the whi-lwind was upon them. Well. sir. that animal and her colt were lifted up just like an ordinary wind would lift a piece of ps- per and carried straight up 10 a consid- erable height and let down again as gentle like ss though they were being lowered in an elevator. They siighted sImos' in the place where they were be- fore the storm struck. Apparently con- fused st first, the animals finally paI.d themselves together. and as the stofm passed ca began eating grass ss though nothing had happened.

The president of the United States is getting himself disliked by the thick and thin party papers that have al ways hitherto stood for anything that the republican administration ever did. It all comes up over the rather re- markable correspondence recently made public between President Roose- velt Secretary Morton of the navy, At torney-General Moody and the special counsel designated to investigate the charges of rebate paying against the A. T. and s. F. R. R., with President Roosevelt's direct refusal to allow the prosecution of MT Morton for his par ticipation in that rebate paying, bear out what has been said touching on the sincerity of the president regard ing railroad rate legislation. It proves conclusively that the whole thing is-a farce, and that the presidents .strenu- ous announcements that he proposed to put freight rates under government control, and make that an issue of his fall campaign, was either mere blind to stave off tariff revision or else shrewd piece of work to create an issue with which to further the inter- ests of Secretary Taft as a presidential candidate. and if successful. to be used in building up an impregnable repub- lican machine.

. No statement by any republican of influence in his party has caused more comment than the recent declaration of Senator Crane of Massachusetts that the present tariff must he revised. This declaration was not made in any otfhand discussion. to be denied on the grounds that the speaker had been in correctly quoted. By special invitation MT Crane addressed q public meeting called for the express purpose of dis cussing the policy of the republican party in Massachusetts His thoughts were well matured and his words care fully chosen. A declaration favoring a revision Of the tariff comes with more force from I man like Senator Cane tEan from the professiona! poll iltian. The Massachusetts senator is 6 man of large business affairs. in touch with the commercis! world and possessed of a thorough understanding of the relation of tariffs to business as compared with the relationship of tariffs 10 politics. There is much in Senator Cranes declaration to give food for reflection 10 the high proteC- tionists and stand pltters~ of his party. New England has long been the stronghold of high tariff and when a man of such influence as senator Crane makes tho bold statement that the time has come when changes must be effected the strength of tariff revis- ionists cannot he laughed away. The attitude of the junior senator from the Bay state. and his well known personal friendship for the president. would seem 10 justify the conclusion that the Massachusetts propaganda had the ap- prgYaI of the administration and was the signal gun for the commencement of an artack that will cuIminate at the next session of congress-

The most profitable industry at pres ent pursued among men is building au- tomobiles. They are to be had at all prices between $500 and S25,000; it de bends altogether upon the depth of the purchasers purse and the amount of profit the manufacturer sees fit to ask. The profit is the biggest part of the whole machine. No wonder that an expert declares that in a few years a good roundabout will be on the market for $500 and a good touring machine for S60O.

 Theodore Roosevelt, by the grace of Divine Providence president of the United States has selected his sue cessor in the presidency in the person of Elihu Root. So say the gossips of the press.

THE RAILROADS
ARE COMING
Bright Prospects for Immediate Con.
struCtion.
SURVEYORS ARE NOW In The FIELD
indications Are that Old Fight
Will Be Renewed.

The all absorbing topic in this
section Of Idaho at present is that
of railroad building and the people
have reached state of enthusias-
tic anticipation over the prospects
Of early construction. In 1899
when both the O. K. & N. and
Northern Pacific were headed for
Grangeville and had secured
rights-of-way to the city limits,
everyone thought that it was only
matter Of few months until the
old stage coach would be abandon
ed and the steam horse would car
ry our citizens to and from the out
side world. But they we're doomed
to bitter disappointment. A truce
between the warning roads was
fixed up, construction was suddent
ly stopped and from that day until
the present truce the people have
looked and longed for road to be
built on Camas Prairie. Now
there again seems to be bright
prospects for the realization of
their hopes.
Last Saturday a message from
Lewiston was received, saying that
q party of o. r. & N. surveyors
had reached that city and would at
once began work on q survey
across the Prairie. This proved
true and Engineer Kippel with a
force of men and large amount of
supplies is now in the vicinity of
Mohler. Following this bit of
good news President Elliott, with
other prominent N. p. officials,
made a hurried trip to Sites, the
end of their road in this county,
and it is now reported that this
company will also have force Of
surveyors in the field within u few
days. In both instances no def
mite information could be secured
from the men In charge but it il
plainly evident that something will
soon be done.
1t may mean that the old war
between these two companies will
be renewed and in that case
Grangeville might secure both
roads. At any rate the outlook is
very encouraging and there is
every reason to believe that the
great fertile districts of Camas and
Nez Perce Prairies will not long be
without transportation facilities.

INTEREST INCREASES.
Many will Compete for Free
Trip to Portland Fair,

Tip 70 ~OrClanO fa1f.
Although the voting for the free
tickets, offered by the Free Press,
to the Portland fair has hardly
commenced much interest has al
ready been aroused and many Of
Idaho County's young ladies will
be supported by their friends.
Since our last issued several new
names have been voted for and
many are yet to DO presented. The
vote at present can hardly indicate
the strength of any candidate as
but few Of the coupons issued have
been cast and IN entirely new can
didate could be easily placed in the
lead. 1t should be remembered
that one coupon can be found in
each issue Of the Free Press and in
addition to these, 80 coupons are
issued for each 81 paid on subscrip-
ton. If you are interested in any
candidate clip the coupon from the
paper and ask your neighbor to do
the same. Then when you or
your neighbor pays subscription
see that the coupons received at
the time are voted and it will be
found very easy to get q large num-
ber Of votes These votes will be
counted each week and the stand

FRlGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Mrs. Ellis Thrown From Horse
and Skull Crushed.

Mrs. Ellis Thrown From Horse
and Skull Crushed.
Mrs. p. E. Ellis, wife of the
Sites postmaster, is lying at the
point of death in that town as the
result of being thrown from a horse.
In company with lady friend
she was out riding last Sunday
when her horse, which was q spirit
ed animal, became frightened and
started to run. She retained her
seat and would probably have re.
gained control of her horse when
at the critical moment the saddle
girth broke and she was thrown
violently into q pile Of rocks strick-
ing on her head. She was taken
to her home and DIR. Naramore
called who found fearful fracture
in the top OF her head measuring
nearly three inches across. An i'm
mediate operation was necessary
and DIR. Campbell was called from
this city to assist in the work. The
crushed bone was removed and q
large silver plate placed over the
wound after which the patient par
TALLY regained consciousness but
is still in a very critical condition.
Reports yesterday were to the ef-
feet that her condition was un.
changed with but slight hopes for
her recovery.
Later-It is reported as we 60 te
press that Mrs. Ellis is some better.
