The News Makes False State
mont and Gets Called Down.
Editor Free Press:
The statement in the last issue
Of the Standard News that Idaho
county is not in debt in any sum
whatever reads like huge joke to
all who are familiar with county
finances. There were $50, 245 Of
county warrants outstanding when
the present board of commissioners
took Office 2 years ago, with about
$40, 900 cash in the treasury, and al
though they have largely increased
revenues from county taxation,
they not only have not reduced
any portion OF the county debt, but
they have actually increased it, by
at least $4,000, in the two years Of
their administration.
Revenue, 1904, $4,000.
Revenue, 1905, S75, 1928.
Revenue, 1906, $S5, 1926.
The records show that the last
democratic board expended a large
amount for improvements, to- wit:
Acquired and improved court
house block, valued at $4,000;
bought all the new furniture for the
court house, valued at $4,000; built
the brick vault at court house,
costing $1,000; repairs on same,
steel cages, etc., $500; remodeled
the court room at a cost of more
than $1,000; built large barn,
planted an orchard and built new
fencing on the county poor farm
equipped the court house with
electric light and water fixtures,
and provided hose and water pipes
for fire protection at court house;
besides having to pay the cost of
the contagious epidemics and the
high cost of several pi otracted
terms of district court during their
terms of Office.
Beyond the raising of the sal
aries Of all the county officers the
present board have had no extra
ordinary expenses; and with the
the growing revenues of the county
properly administered, they should
have made notable reduction of
the county floating debt.
The republican leaders two years
ago made their campaign on false
pretenses, and it cost the county
$500 to prove that their charges
of democratic corruption and ex-
were maliciously un.
true. The present board have pur-
chased six typewriters, a couple
Of desks and exported the books.
The balance of the large county
revenues was disbursed in salaries
and expenses.
l do not hold the members of the
present beard responsible for the
grossly misleading statements of
the Standard-News; but as these
statements are false l cannot per-
init them to go to the people on the
eve OF an election unchallenged.
The people who pay the taxes are
entitled to know the truth concer-
ming their county finances.
1t is only fair to state that
thanks to the extravaganza OF the
Gooding state administration, the
present board have been required
to pay $1,000 per year more into
the state treasury than any for
mer board. Probably this s14, 1000
would otherwise have been applied
to q reduction of the county float
ing debt. Al

hooters, the latter being the only team en-
tered in both events. The entries, while not
large. show a marked improvement over
recent years, and the fact that the rival
teams contain a majority Of the best polo
players in the country insures several con-
tests of a championship caliber.
The majority or these teams will remain
for the Newport annual tournament, which
will! be held during the same time as the
championships, and as the Point Judith
tournament Is now In progress the present
month promises to be the liveliest one in

IT WILL Be A
NOTABLE CONTEST
Coming Race Between Fights
of Harvard and Cambridge
on the Thames.

LONDON, August 18.-With the arrival
OF the Harvard eight-oared crew in Eng
land public Interest in sporting circles has
centered In the International varsity race
between Cambridge and Harvard, which
will be rowed on the Thames varsity
course, from Putney to Mortlake, dis
lance Of about four and a quarter miles.
on September 8.
/ On August q. 1869, an oxford crew de-
feated Harvard four, but since that time
there has been no equatio contest between
English and American crews, save in the
Henley regatta, in which case the English
crews did not represent the universities,
but separate colleges Of the main institu-
ton, or rowing clubs made up Of crack
oarsmen, and in spite of this every college
crew but one that has rowed at Henley
went down to defeat, the only exception
being in 1878, when Columbia four
brought back to the United States the
Visitors cup.
A comparison Of the crews will show that
the Harvard oarsmen average seven pounds
a man more than Cambridge The crews
will be made up as follows:

only. According to coffroth, here " how
Britt sizes himself up:
81 am going to make two more fights
before the close Of the year. and one OF
them will be Nelson X he will take me on
before he boxes Cans. If Cans defeats him
I will fight the latter, but only under those
circumstances. Then win or lose with Cans.
I still want to fight Nelson"
This decision seems to be irrevocable."
continues Coffroth. II have been busy for
two weeks erdeavoring to secure Britt 8
consent to box Eddie Hanlon, which would
be an extremely stronge card IN Frisco, or
even with Harry Lewis. but without sue
cess.
mo doubt Hanlon would mee' Lewis but
1t would hardly be strong enough caro-
It seems to be that the only way to get
any big money is to match Britt and Mel
son with some one, as they are strong
cards; but as Nelson and Cans are now the
whole talk there doesn't seem to be any
thing doing for any other match till they've
had it out

PROPOSED PRIVATE
MOTOR CAR TRACKS

LONDON, August 1S.-There Us a good
possibility of a large private motor car
track being constructed in England. the
project being due to Mr.. H. F. Locke King.
q wealthy motorist. who has already car
ried out several daring enterprises.
The site for the proposed motodrome Is
little south of Weybridge, and close to the
London and Southwestern railway. cir
cular track, sixty feet wide, and some three
miles in extent, would be constructed on
Mr.. Locke Kings property, and the course
would thus be wide enough for six cars to
race abreast.
Within easy reach Of London, 1t Is be-
lieved that this track and testing ground
would prove very useful to automobilism
as the holding even of touring car trials
on the public roads Is causing much annoy
ance. Included in the circuit will be steep
hill, and thus cars would be tested both in
speed and hill-climbing.
having no adequate testing grounds-the
highways are freely used in France for this
purpose-and a private track would be an
advantage; while the course might also be
the scene of exciting races between high
speed machines, and thus furnish an at
tractive spectacle.
wILKESBARRE, Pa, August 1s.-Auto-
nODlllStS IN the Vicinity OI WIlheSpdiIo
watching with considerable interest the
building of a two and a half mile private
automobile road on the estate Of T. L.
Newell. near Harvey's lake, about ten
miles from Wilkesbarre. Mr.. Newell Is an
enthusiastic motorist He owns half
dozen high-powered foreign cars, and one
Of his ambitions has been to own good
stretch Of road where he might speed his
car without fear of violating the state
speed laws Last spring he had his private
road surveyed. and a gang Of men have
been at work for nearly two months. More
than half Of the road Is completed, and
signs are being placed at the entrances. in
scribed: mo horses allowed on this road"
Mr.. Newells neighbors say that these
signs have been actuated by the fact that
nearby is the large estate of Albert Lewis
noted horseman, who has over fifteen
miles Of private driveway restricted to the
use of horses. Both Mr.. Lewis and Mr..
Newell allow the public to use their roads,
but Mr.. Lewis shows his repugnance to
motor cars by a number Of signs on his
roads prohibiting automobiles from driving
on them.

once again the rah rah rah boys at Cam
bridge are happy.
On account OF the strenuous objections
made by DR.. Eliot against the game 1t Is
safe to say that the Crimson authorities
will make sure to eliminate all the evils
this year.
But in spite Of the attitude taken by
Columbia and Harvard, there Is bound to
be more interest in foot ball this fall
than ever before.
This Is due to the fact that almost q
new game will be presented on the inter-
collegiate gridiron and to the additional
fact that many new alliances have been
created since last fall. Not only will all
the colleges have a new game, but many
OF them wial likewise have new opponents.
For the first time in several years there
will be a meeting between two of the
strongest teams in the east and west. This
will be furnished by the game between
the University of Pennsylvania and Michi-
gar University to be played on November
II. There will also be a game between
the Carlisle Indians of the east and the
University of Minnesota in the west.

DISCUSSING THE
GL|DDEN TOUR
Changes in Rules Demanded
Criticism of Committees
Regulations.

CHICAGO, Ill.,. August 1S.-Radical
changes in rules and vastly more efficient
management are demanded by all Of the
automobiists who took part in the recent
American Automobile Association tour pro-
vided the association determines to repeat
its annual run next year and offer the Gid
den cup for its third competition. Secre-
tary Sidney S. Gorham says that notwith-
standing the complaints that have been
freely made against the management of
the recent tour the general sentiment, as
he understood II, was that the tour must
be held by all means next season.
The fact that the rules did not work out
as satisfactory as the committee had ex-
pected," he said, was not only the biggest
surprise OF the whole run, but tie very fact
that thirteen American cars finished the
! 200-mle trip with perfect Icores Is a
grand triumph for the high standard of
the American automobile industry. Sug-
gestions have already been made regarding
certain changes in rules for another year,
in case the Glidden cup is competed for.
Personally / should favor making a maxi
mum penalty for certain breakages to the
machine, whether such defects were re-
paired within controls or not. The breaking
OF an axle or any part OF the STEERING gear
should, for instance. be matters of heavy
liable to affect the safety of the oc-
cupants of the car. There would
be great difficulty in keeping
track of such troubles, and the perfect
score cars would not only show at the close
of the long run the ability to travel a num-
Der of miles within stipulated times, but
could also claim the advantage, and no
inconsiderable one, of having completed the
trip without serious accident to the ma
chinery OF the car
Statements have been expressed by a
number OF the competitors that, a. the A.
A. A. touring committee has shown its in
ability to manage this annual tour. the Au-
tomoble Club OF America or some other re-
sponsible organization should be asked to
take charge OF the event. No definite plan
in this respect has been outlined. Mr. Cor
ham, while admitting that he had heard
these statements, did not believe they were
entitled TO serious consideration.
THE touring committee" he added SIS
now at work upon a very exhaustive re-
port dealing with the financial side of the
trip. the rules, and arrangements for hotel
and other accommodations, which will be
presented to the directors of the association
at the September meeting. A detailed re-
port Will also be presented TO the Glidden
cup commission. giving statistics OF the
thirteen cars that had perfect scores and of
others that failed more through personal
faults than mechanical troubles. The cup
commission will probably not announce the

disposition that 1t will make Of the cup |
until this report Is completed" |


until this report Is completed"
How some of the contestants look upon
the tour and the rules governing the Gid
den cup event may be Judged from the fol-
lowing comment made by one Of the tour
lists:
There was not one car in the entire
eighty-four entered that does not deserve
particular credit for the showing 1t made.
The contest in itself was farcical, and 1t Is
an error to detract from the value of any
one of the machines that went over the
roads on the Glidden tour, for the reason
that the committee saw fit to penalize them
in a most ridiculous manner for points that
really deserved merit. An example Of what
value this run was Is to be found in the
case Of machine which went over the
entire route with perfect score, machin-
cry intact, and tires never once inflated.
Through error in the calculation OF two Of
its occupants, who were guests Of the
driver, he passed the control seven minutes
ahead of time and was thu penaliZed four
teen points. This shows in a measure how
faulty the rules and conditions Of t., con-
test were"
