FORMING A NEW LEAGUE.
Boise, Salt Lake, Ogden, Butte, Hell,

Oh" anu SpOhuhc 10 ray bll.
The baseball atmosphere will prob
ably be cleared up Saturday when
representatives. of the old Pacific
league will meet i'm Butte to decide
what to do. Mr.. Cody will leave to-
morrow for Butte to attend the meet
ing, says the Boise Capital News. The
only stumbling block now in the way
of reorganiZing the old league into
a six league team is Salt Lake, which
refuses to come in If Lucas is to be
retained as president. 1t is believed,
however, that when Salt Lake fully
realizes the situation she will gladly
come into the new league, in which
event it will consist of Boise. Salt
Lake, Ogden, Helena, Butte and Spo-
kane.
In the event that Salt Lake refuses
to agree to the new arrangement and
go into the new organization an at
| tempt will probably be made to re-
organize the present league with six
clubs, but as Lucas has already Sc.
cured protection the clubs would sim.
ply comprise an outlaw league, with
no standing whatever and would sim.

CHARLES HANFoRD COMING.
Noted Actor Will Present don Caesar

-hNNOA " III ASOh NeN'eh
de Bazan" at the Frazer Feb. 16.
The coming engagement of Charles
b. Hanford is being anticipated by
the theatergoers of this city as an
event of exceptional interest, as in
deed, the appearance of true artist
always is.
Mr.. Hanford's name stands today
as the synonym of dramatic art in
its highest type. He is par excellence
one of the greatest eXponents of the
legitimate drama on the American
stage of the present generation.
In addition to Mr.. Hanford's en-
dowments through nature and edu-
cation, his long association on the
stage with such distinguished artists
as Booth Barrett, Keene and Mod
jeska, has given him exceptional OPP
portunities to become the student
that he is.
We have the result of this in the
finished productions he places before
the public each year. Mr.. Hanford's
engagement at the Frazer theater on
Thursday, February 16, will be the
presentation of Don Caesar de Ba-
zan." The supporting company is of
exceptional merit and includes that
sterling actor, Frank Hennig, also
Edward D'Oize, Henry MacRade,
Ferd Hight, Miss Margaret Oswald
Miss Bessie Hunter Hight and others.
Miss Marie Drofnah, who during
the past three seasons has been Mr.
| Hanford's leading lady, is filling that
| important position this season. Miss
| Drofnahs previous successes are a
| guarantee that the principal female
roles will be acted with fine discrim-
| nation.

SIX CITY OFFICIALS ARE TAKEN
TO TASK BY THE CITY
COUNCIL,
Are Serving Without Having Com.
piled With the Law-Bonds Not
Fully Completed.

Councilman Mexican sprung a sur
prise in open council meeting last night
when he reported that six of the city
officials elected at the last city elec-
ton had so far failed to file their
bonds. He named as the officials
Chief of Police Brown, City Assessor
Bergman, Justice Huffman, Mounted
Policeman George Rolf, City Engineer
Wilson and Street Commissioner
Champion.
Councilman Mexican said that E. D.
Mattinson, who has the contract for
furnishing bonds for the city officials,
mad repeatedly notified the delinquent
officers that their bonds were ready.
but that the matter had been neglect
ed. Engineer Wilson and Chief Brown
were both present and were called up
on by the mayor to answer to the as.
cusations. Engineer Wilson said that
he had called upon Mr.. Mattinson only
few days ago to sign up his bond.
but that he mad been informed there
was an error in it and the bond would
be ready in a day or so. This ap-
peared to be satisfactory, as it was
not disputed by Mr.. Mattinson. Chief
Brown said that he had called upon
Mr.. Mattinson several times but that
each time the bond was not prepared.
Later he visited Portland for a couple
of weeks, and in this way the mat
ter had been neglected. The bonds
will be prepared and left with the
city clerk to be signed up by the de-
linquent city officers. The whole mat
ter was treated as a huge joke, al
though at first it promised to be a
serious matter.

STORY COMES FROM SEATTLE
THAT HE WILL ENTER DIP
LOMATIC SERVICE,
Is Personal Friend of EIihu Root Who
Could Give the Gusrdsman
Good Position.

A new frame-up is coming in ma
tional guard organization in this state
The appointment of Elihu Root as Sec
rotary of state and the ambition OF
James A. Drain to figure in diplomat
ic circles, will lead to a series of ap-
pointments that will affect a reorgani-
cation Of the guard and result in sew
eral promotions. AS the deal is now
arranged it will also result in depos-
ing George Lamping, the present COL
onel of the Second regiment, is the
story that comes from Seattle.
Gen. Drain became pretty we'll ac-
quainted with Secretary Root when he
was secretary of war. Drain has had
absolute control of the national guard
in this state ever since Governor Rog-
ers appointed him in 1899. When the
Dick bill was agitated and when the
preliminary work was being done to-
ward throwing federal protection over
the national guards of the states Of the
union, Gen. Drain took an active part
in the organization. He has been prom
inently identified with the national
guard organization ever since.
Frequent trips to Washington on ma
tional guard business threw Gen. Drain
into contact with Secretary Root, and
it has been claimed by Drains friends
that he stands higher with the former
secretary of war than any other ma
.ional guard officer in the country. 1t
is we'll understood that it was under
Secretary Roots protecting wing that
Drain was taken to the White House
for his first meeting with the president.
Gen. Drain has since visited President
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay with Secre-
tarV Root.

Believe Job is Promised,

Gen. Drain was active in Spokane
politics before he was made adjutant-
general by Gov. Rogers. He is a re-
publican, and has been clerk of Spo-
kane county, besides welding an influ-
ence in local affairs. The office Of ad-
jutant- general gave him a chance to
carry out his ideas regarding the Or
ganization of the national guard, and
he has since been ambitious for de-
velopment in other directions.
Since Elinu Root has re-entered the
cabinet Drain is understood to have
longed for a consular appointment, and
he has gone direct to Root for the
place In national guard circles they
have the story that the appointment is
promised him, and he is to go to one
of the South American republics to fill
a promising berth in large city.
Of course, if Secretary Root be-
comes president succeeding President
Roosevelt, Drain will lose none of his
ambition for promotion.
Ortis Hamilton is now lieutenant
colonel in the national guard. His
commission is dated October 16, and
he will soon be up for reappointment.
Four days earlier than that. Col.
T Il;
makes it possible to deal with the en-
tire situation early next month and
politicians in the guard are arranging
the program for Gov Mead.
During the last campaign efforts to
organize the guard for Mead were
more or less successful. Hamilton, a
resident of Colfax and a democrat, is
credited with having made a stubborn
Mead fight in a county that was over
whelmingly against the Whatcom
county candidate.
1t is understood Hamilton stands
close to the governor and is friendly
with Drain, VINO will have a great deal
to say regarding his own successor.
Drain is anxious that his policies be
carried forward and Hamilton could
be relied upon to do so.
Friction In National Guard.
In national guard circles it is stated
there is friction between Gen. Drain
and Col Lamping. The latter once
made a strong plea for Drain to Gov.
Mcbride when the officers of the guard
were rallying to the adjutant- generals
support. But Lamping did not carry
out the program of Gen. Drain in a sat-
isfactory manner and the adjutant-
general has been chatting under the
Second regiment organization.
Capt. Matt Gormley is now adjutant
of the regiment and mas in addition an
enviable Philippine record to support
him. It is stated that Gen. Drain,
Gov. Mead and Col. Hamilton are all
favorable to the plan to name Capt.
Gormley as Col. Lamping's successor.
The fact that Capt. Gormley is now
county treasurer and has influence in
King county politics where Gov. Mead |
