Another thing that influenced the

All business was suspended here last
Tuesday in honor of the already depart
band of boys who wore the blue and car
ried the proud flag to an everlasting vic
tory of freedom in the sixties. Of that
vast and hardy hoard but few are left,
and most of them are tottering on the
brink of worthy and well spent exist
ence. Each succeeding year the line
grows thinner and more feeble and soon
the little bronze buttons will have dis
appeared forever from the lapel of onr
citizens coats. Well may we drop the
flag they SO gallantly defended to half
mast and close our shops and stores in
their honor. America loves her freedom
and her flag and next in affection and es-
TEEN in all hearts are those who have.
through love of country and principle,
sacrificed so much forj its preservation.
Time, remorseless time, goes on and even
our countries patriotism has no chains
to bind It's rushing opinions. 1t breathes
upon the best loved heroes of the great
est nation of the whole world and the
naughty form is dropped and the flash
ing eye is dimmed. The Condor, the
proud bird of the Andes, at night fall
settles down to rest upon it's mountain
craig, but time, the tomb builder, knows
not the weight or WEAKNESS of sleep: it
slowly, surely, relentlessly robs the
world of those most dear. In its swift
fight it has nearly brought us to the
last survivor of the civil war. May those
yet living spend their days in the cool
shadows of happiness and the souls of
departed ones rest in peace forever and
forever.

was cut off at first, retiring the side.
In the third and fourth Bla ckfoot
failed to score, even though they found
the ball as frequently as in the pre-
ceeding innings. Pocatello sent two
men around in the third but went
down for two shut outs in the fourth
and fifth. In the fifth Blackfoot land
ed hard on the Bowling curves Wes-
sler went to first on nice hit over
short, Sage got his second two-bagger
sending Wessler to third; McRoberts
came up for safe hit and scored Sage.
Henry struck out as did also Castleton
but Geiger came up for two base hit
which scored McRoberts. Provincial
landed one in the field and brought
the kid in; Wessler couldn't make good
and the side was retired.
The next four innings Blackfoot
was shut out, but the leads they made
in the first and fifth were too great
for Pocatello to equal, even though
they fought every inch of the way,
scoring one in the sixth and two in the
eighth.
1t was hard defeat for Pocatello
and most of her citizens took it grace
fully, the manager of the team could
not stand the gaff and in vain hope OF
winning changed umpires. The Tri-
bune in commenting on this has the
following to say.
doc" West, the veteran baseball
fan" umpired the game yesterday until
the end of the eighth inning when he
was taken out and w. E. Slater substi-
tuted. Manager Gaylord is being Sc
verely criticized for taking doc" out
DOC" is said to have been or on
couple Of minor decisions, but they were
not of enough importance to cut any
fgure-every umpire Is apt to err. and
nothing more serious could ever be en-
tertained against DOC" West. He Is
one of the .staunchest friends of the
game in this part of the state.
1t was Blackfoots game from start to
finish. They played faster and better
ball than their ts-the best
team won.

While many of our citizens were
yelling themselves hoarse at Pocatello
on Decoration day at the ball game, the
Juniors and team of Indian boys of
Fort Hall were doing some fine playing
on the home grounds. The crowd was
quite good one, everything considered,
and demonstrated that all the rooters
had not gone to the Gate City. The
two best features of the game were the
throws from left field by the Indian,
Lewis, cutting the base runners off at
the home plate. The heavy batting of
Wasley, of the Juniors, was also fea-
ture. The following is the score by
innings:
Fort Hall 4 @ DOL 100 O 3-S
Blackfoot. -. @ 0 2 101 90 Ill
Struck out by Dipple for Juniors,
eight; by Martin and substitute for Fort
Hall, fourteen.

Never before has the spirit of orderli.

Never before has the spirit of orderli
ness and cleanliness been so apparent in
the yards of nearly every residence prop
ertyin Blackfoot. Local pride in beautify-
ing and adding to the value of all such
property is more prevalent now than in
the past. The increased price of nearly
every marketable property is probably
responsible for much of the spirit of i'm
provement that is evidence in nearly
every part of the town. And it may be
that the " l. s. society should be ac-
credited in no small measure. The world
needs not so much to be informed as to
be reminded" is saying trite and true
and this the village improvement society
does with persistency, and whether the
many well kept, beautiful lawns and
neat yards were inspired by their timely
suggestions ornot, we congratulate them
for the attention they give to the small
things that are usually neglected.
The V. l. S. society have requested us
to ask the residents of the city to discon-
tinue throwing hay, manure, lawn clip
pings and similar rubbish in the boxes
that have been placed around the city
for the reception of the tin cans and dry
rubbish of such nature. 1t seems that
the use of these boxes has been misun-
derstood in some cases. The society
have done very charitable work in
placing them about the city and those
who fail to appreciate the purpose for
which they are intended are most un-
grateful, to say the least. Help to keep
the town clean, by following the sug-
gestions and accepting the aid of an or.
ganized body of clever ladies' who are
doing more than their share to make our
city beautiful and sanitary.

team arrived here last Monday,

enough to shoe a whole army of
Missouri mules. They lined up
against Blacktoot at the fair
grounds at 2:30 in the afternoon
and soon the game was on.
The visitors were Herewith the
goods, and their horse shoe.
Blackfoot was simply not due to
win a game. They were retired
the first six innings without a
score, Smlthfeld failed to make
good in the first inning and the
spectators expected a pretty ex-
hibition of the national game.
Blackfoot was saving their star
pitcher for the Pocatello game
and Wessler, a new man was be-
ing tried out. The second time
the visitors came to the bat they
landed on the ball hard and often:
eight men were sent around the
track. In the third they were
retired without a score, but in the
fourth they scored four men. At
this stage Of the game Castleton
was put in the box and five
nicely plucked goose eggs were
served up to the visitors. Black
DOT scored two men in the
seventh and were retired without
run in the last two. The score
