SUNDAYS Ball Game.

The best ball game played in Weiser
this year occurred Sunday afternoon
when the local nine defeated the Hunt
ington team by a score of 5 to 6.
The game was full of ginger from be-
ginning to end, both sides playing ex-
cellent ball, A bad play by the
locals in the eight inning allowed the
visitors to make a run of three, but,
of course, that can't be helped now.
At the end of the ninth inning the
score stood 5 to 5. In the tenth
inning neither side Tailed but in the
eleventh Weiser came out victorious.
Good feeling prevailed throughout the
game and the big crowd of spectators
and rooters enjoyed it immensely.
The Huntington team is made up of a
gentlemanly lot of fellows and Weiser
is glad TO welcome them any old time.
Following is the score:

We'd Soon be With fhe ADgs|S.

A wise editor says: "a man told
us the other day that we did not pub
lish all the things that happened.
We should say not. In the first
place, there is somebody depending
on us for living. If we print all
that happens we would soon be with
the angels. In order to please the
people we must print only the nice
things said of them and leave the rest
to gossip. Yet it's fact we, don {
publish all the news. If we did
wouldn't it make spicy reading? But
it would be for one week only the
next week you would read our obitu-
ary-in some other paper. All the
news is all right when it's about the
other fellow"

left here early last spring for Idaho
and had got settled in his new home
and liked it very much. Three weeks
ago he was kicked on the leg by a
horse and the injury proved SO severe
that it became necessary to amputate
the leg above the knee. He was
taken to hospital in Oregon about
70 miles from home and died there
last Friday, just two weeks after be-
ing injured. His funeral was held
last Sunday, just two months after he

n[W A5ILUH SUPERINTENDENT
QO5t TO nORnOn LEADERS
ltan Whom Hepburn Charged With
fludeT Removed BY
he Board

Blackfoot, Ida., June 1.-After
fight extending through the last four
State administrations, engendering
much bad blood in both political
parties and wrecking more political
ambitions than all other causes com
bined, the Board of Insane Asylum
Commissioners met today in special
session and removed DR.. Givens as
superintendent.
With each recurring two years the
fight was on, but not until now sue
cessful. Charges of alleged irregu-
larities have been made from
time to time. The specific grounds
for the action today is not definitely
known, but variety of reasons can
be assigned. That it is to a great
extent political is the generally ac-
cepted version.
DR.. @. A. Hoover of Montpelier,
who succeeds to the place, is an aft
able and able gentleman. He is a res
ident of Bear Lake county, and while
not Mormon, is in close touch with
President Bulge, ex-Attorney- General
Bagley and other leading lights of
the church, who are undoubted fac
tors in the present Mormon -Gooding-
Hey burn regime.
IL is factional fight, however, a
number of Republicans persistently
supporting Giyens. Although he
posed as a Democrat, his politics was
never really known.
A peculiar coincidence is recalled
by the action Of today, A few years
since A. B. Moss, the leading mer'
chapt Of Psyette, was the Republican
cand idate for Governor, A eontro-
yersy arose over some remarks made

transportation. In new and compara-
lively sparsely settled regions, the first
cost of construction adopted are
usually wasteful, inadequate and, In
long run, costly. Instead of building
permanent roadbeds, it is the custom
for the authorities to limit the ex'
penditure to material and methods
that may do we'll enough for short
periods, but require frequent and
costly repairs.
In the mountains where construc-
tion is always costly, it is difficult to
build and MAINTAIN permanent road
ways, but education in the best
methods of construction would doubt
less result in an improvement through
out the state. and that is the purpose
of the good roads movement.
Wherever policy of permanent,
high-class construction has been
adopted it has been found highly
profitable. The cost to the farmer oi
reaching the markets with his pro-
ducts is reduced. the value OF prop
erty accessible by the better roads Is
advanced, town merchants share tne
advantage in increased trade, the
comfort of living is immeasurabiy
improved and every individual
affected gets the benefit of the eS'
penditnre.

tials on a dollar bill, says an ex-
change. The next day be went to the

six years the dollar was back to him
for produce and three times he heard

The last time be got it back four
years ago he sent IL 10 mail order

since and never pays any more school

This great vein of ore can be easily

of the Occur d'Alenes. The Monte

AIhert TayIor stocIk CompanY.

There will be a big audience when Albert Taylor and his company open at the Bijou Theatre Thursday night for a three nights engagement
 'Peaceful Valley" with It's pretty story of pastoral life, made famous. by Sol Smith Russell, will be the attrac- tion for the first night. This play Ia bPimful of comedy and pathos.- and is of rare interest to all lovers of light drama. Its picturesque scenes are transpIanted from the sun-kisSed hills and meadows of a section of the coun- try like Virginia, and from busy mill ing towns that resemble some of those found in New England. Peaceful Val ley" is commonly called a society drama. It tells the story of a woman's trugt and a mans deception, with a genuine villain who reaps richly the reward of sin in the climax.
 Albert Taylor will appear as Hosea Howe in this play. He Is said to be one of the best versatile and at the same time one of the most forceful of actors. when in Houston, Texas, Fe- gently, The Post said of him: He possessed genuine merit of very high degree"
 MT. Taylor has played to packed houses all over the circuit in this comedy, which keeps au audience tn au uproar of laughter all the way through. A Nashville paper said:
 Peaceful Valley was certainly delihFt, as was attested by the fre- quent and hearty applause"

progress of the struggle. Yalu River, which the Japanese crossed Co invade Manohuria, was easy. Compare Nan shan Hill. where a desperate engage ment was fought in the advance of Port Arthur, with ChisanlitaitsR, Siausung. cha and Siakiabostse, all in the same neighborhood.

which Is large and artisticalIy strong, he has secured many novelties with which to add realism to the situations of the play. Among the features are Moon Dag, famous warrior. Red Flash. Clusters famous Indian scout, and the man who carried Clusters last message. An interesting feature is geniuine Indian brass band. who are graduates of Carlisle and all fine mu" sicians.
 American plays by America nauthors should ever be interesting events in a community where Americanisin is dom-
 inant characteristic. In presenting 'Srhe Flaming Arrow" by Mir. Carter. the American author. theratre goers will have a chance to see an are crea- ton worthy of the sort. The charac- ters are fitly and strongly chosen. White Eagle. the young Rapphoe. is a good type of civilized Indian as the stage has seen in generation. His father. Black Eagle, represents that
 section of the brave and fearless but not less beloved Indian, whose astutA. ness and faithfulness was recognized
 and rewarded by the United States government. Colonel Frement, repre-
 sents a fine old type of active and
 war scared soldier. His daughter.
 Mary, a womanly maiden whose brav- cry and love for truthfulness are char- acteristic of American women. Such are q few of the prominent characters the author has happily chosen as rep- resentatives. together with a rascally Mexican, a treacherous lieutenant a fun loving negro and witty Irish- man.
 A tribe of sixteen Indians from their wild andpicturesque homes in native costume and war head dress add 9enuineness and attractiveness to the play.
 The piece gained a reputation dur ing the run of the play in Chicago
 that has seldmon been accorded any
 organization playing the popular priced houses. Aside from their clev- ernSss, the entire production has been accorded the moSt flattering notices from the press and public. All the
 Bcen6fy ia special and was painted by
