Wins From Lawton and SCHOOL,

Bloomingdale.
WALKER TOUCHED FOR "a HITS
Game With Schoolcraft Was Ex-
citing. Hults Allowed But
Four Scattered Hits.

The base ball season in Paw Paw this
year has been a short one, but unusually
successful. The team has played eight
games, winning six and losing two
Last week Thursday they played re-
turn game with Lawton at that place
Lawton had reserved their star pitcher,
Stoker, to trim the Paw Paw team, but
they landed on him at will, and won the
game by the score OF Ia to s, making six
runs in the last inning Carl Mosier
and Ted Sowle were che battery for Paw
Paw and they did we'll. A large crowd
of Paw Paw fans accompanied the team,
but their roofing was faint as compared
with that of the Lawtonites. Their en-.
thusiasm died down somewhat during
the latter part of the game, when they
saw their team 60 down to defeat for
the second time at the hands of Paw
Paw.
Friday the team went to Bloomingdale
for return game. Although the game
WAS good one, it was marred by several
unpleasant incidents. The Paw Paw
boys have always had the utmost conf.
dence in "Billie" Fields as an umpire,
but they have lost it all. Paw Paw sell
dom has hard luck story and clay it to
the umpire, but the decisions in this
game were too rank to let go unnoticed.
Even the players and spectators who
live in Bloomingdale were disgusted
with the treatment given to Paw Paw.
The umpire claimed not to have seen
the plays over which the disputes arose.
The final score was to l in favor of
Blooningdale.
Saturday our old rival Schoolcraft
met the local team at the athletic park.
They came strengthened with several
outside players, including Walker Of
Kalamazoo, Doxey of Otsego and Kelley
of Columbus. Walker was in the box
for the visitors and was touched up for
II safe hits, while Hultz held School
craft down to four scattered ones. Paw
Paw scored four runs in the first inning
and Schoocraft four in the third and
one in the fifth. Paw Paw got to Walker
again in the eighth for four more runs.
The final score was to 3 in favor of
Paw Paw The game was exciting and
was deserving of a larger crowd than
WAS present. Paw Paw certainly has
fast team, considering the amount of
practice this year, and will compare ia
vora bly, with any independent team in
southern Michigan.
Here's hoping that the base ball en-
thusiasm will be resurrected in Paw Paw
and that the season of 1908 will again
see a winning team on the home grounds.

BILLIE HAHN COMES TO TOWN

After an absence of several months,
Billie Hahn blew into Paw Paw last
week. As is his usual custom, he pro-
ceeded to take the preliminary steps to
spend 10 days with Sheriff Chappell.
When asked where be had been all sum-
mer, be replied that he had been all
over the country and that he did not
like to remain in one place very long at
time. lie said he thought it was
about time Charley's Office was repaint-
ed and decorated, and that he wanted
to stay with him long enough to get the
job completed.

FORTUNATE TO ESCAPE INJURY

Last Sunday evening Miss Edith Har-
vey drove to Mattawan to take her
friend to the train. She left him at the
depot and started on her return. The
night was dark and stormy, and when
going down the hill near the Mattawan
school house, the rig collided with an
other one coming from the opposite di-
rection She was thrown head foremost
from the buggy, but escaped with a few
bad bruises. The buggy and harness
were badly damaged, however, but with
the assistance of the driver of the team
with which she cohded and other will
ing hands, the damage was soon repaired
and Miss Harvey reached home safely.

Bonding Proposition Practically
Unanimous.

There was light vote cast at the
election last Saturday. This was prob
ably due to the fact that nearly every
one was busy and to the feeling that the
proposition would carry without their
assistance. There we're 200 votes cast,
OF which 1876 were in favor of the bond
ing proposition and four against it.
This was practically unanimous vote.
1t is probable that the votes recorded in
the negative were through errors, as un-
der the circumstances no one would or-
pose the proposition at this time.

THE COLLEGE IS
soon TO Open

The College of Idaho will open its
doors for the seventeenth consecu-
tive school year, Tuesday September
3rd, at 10 a. m. The Academic and
Collegiate departments offer well
balanced courses leading to the de-
grees of B. A., Phi. D, and B. S.
Students may enter the Academy
on their state 8th grade certificates,
and the College on credits from the
High Schools and academies.
Among the new instructors may be
mentioned Prof. Floyd w. Barr, B.
A., Wooster University, who will
have charge of the Department of
Greek and Athletics, and Prof. Law
renee Henry Gipson, B. A., Idaho
and Oxford, Eng. Mr.. Gipson was
the first Rhoades scholar from Idaho
and right we'll did he improve his
opportunities for we find him in the
final round up taking special rank in
his chosen subject, history. Prof.
GIBSON will have charge of the de-
partments of history and French.
The college congratnlates itself
upon the accession of this distin-
guished scholar to it's faculty and re-
jo.ces in being able to announce
such news to its patrons.
1t is due Mr.. Gipson to say that he
has had good offers from Weather
and more prominent schools than the
College of Idaho, but he has beer

lea and Europe and while the bless
ings of dollars and titled men Were
more abundant than here yet the
quality of work done did not seem t

corporations. but the same men cons
pose both companies. Mr.. Pierce
frankly stated that he thought that
this could not be odne. 1t seems that
the two electric lines are not ON the
best of terms. Neither feel like &C
commodating the other. Mr.. Pierce
said that II the Boise Valley. Co.
would complete its line to the fair
grounds and electrify 1t. that the
Boise and Interurban would use the
track, furnish their own cars and
power and divide the profits evenly
with the Boise Valley road. This
would furnish transportation facili-
ties for the fair. Mr.. Pierce thought
this was fair and equitable arrange
ment for all concerned.
On motion the chairman appoint
ed committe of three to negotiate
with the two railroad companies.
The committee appointed we're H. w.
Dorman. J. H. Lowell and B. r. Clay.
AS Mr.. Clay could not act, Mr. Camp
bell was made a member OF the COM
mittee.
The committee is confident that
electric cars will be running during
the fair. Mr.. H. d. Andrews, presi-
dent of the fair association states
positively that cars will be running.
1t is to be hope that everything win
be adjusted. Il

Flat reservoir. He came to town
Saturday at noon.
George Young is known by q few
Caldwell people.
The patients are all under the care
of Doctors Cue and Waldrop. They
are getting along as well as could be
expected. Mr.. Sweeney is more SER
iously injured than any of them.
The doctors think that he will come
out all right.
The fire was a bad one to handle
and great credit is due the Caldwell
firemen. They did good work
throughout and saved thousands OF
dollars worth Of property. 1t is re-
markable how well the boys handle
fires considering the fact that they
have to- come from all sections OF
town, and have little equipment to
work with when they arrive. Tho
owners of the new Union block gave
the boys $4,000 in appreciation oi
their services. Sc

THE CITY
should BUILD

Ex-Mayor R. s. Madden, who
keeps we'll informed in regard to the
city affairs, stated to a Tribune re-
porter this week, that in his opinion,
it would be good thing, If the city
were to erect small cottage on the
grounds where the city's artesian
wells are located. The cottage
should be occupied by the city pump
er and his family. Mr.. Madden call
ed attention to the fact that under
present conditions it takes the pump
er 35 or 40 minues to get from his
home to the pump house In case Of
fire. 1t was suggested that in view
of the fact that the city owned con-
siderable more land than was neces-
sary for the pumping plant, that per-
haps lots enough could be sold to
pay for the house. The Tribune is
heartily in favor of the suggestion.

man might be or how good Ia his In!

A number OF business men met at
the Commercial club rooms Saturday
for the purpose OF meeting MIR. w.
E. Pierce, president of the Boise In

him means and methods of getting
transportation facilities for the fair
grounds during the Canyon County
fair. Mr.. d. d. Campbell acted as
chairman of the meeting and Mr.. ].

Dorman asked Mr.. Pierce If he would
consent to Mr.. w. R. Sebree selling
the Boise Valley railway company
power to be used for an
electric railroad within the
city limits and until the Boise Valley
company could get into Caldwell
with its line. The Boise Valley Co.
owns the Caldwell Interurban, which
now runs to within two blocks of the
fair grounds. This line has not been
electrified yet. Mr.. Sebree has con-
tract with the Swan Falls Power Co.
for so much power to be used in
Caldwell. However. there Is a pro-
viso, that he cannot sell power to
electric railways. The Caldwell bus

GIBSON RETURNS
FROM OXFORD

Lawrence H. Gipson, the Rhoades
scholar from this state at Oxford uni
versity, arrived home last Saturday
and since then has been busy shaking
hands with old friends.
Mr.. Gipson was elected to this
scholarship in 1904 and went with
the first group of Americans to Eng
land. He states that the reception
which he and his friends received
at the hands of the Englishmen was
most cordial, in spite of the fact that
there were, many different ways of
doing things and saying things.
which caused much natural amuse-
ment.
He considers that the University
of Oxford. for the general efficiency
along certain lines. has hardly a
rival. However. the institution has
preserved numberless old customs
which today have quite lost their
significance. Men are still prohibited
according to the university, from
shooting the cross-bows or High
street, and the playing of marbles
on Queens College steps Is likewise
prohibited.
While at Oxford Mr.. Gipson con-
fined himself largely to the study of
history, economics and political sci
ence and was awarded honors in the
final school of modern history.
During his absence he travelled ex-
tensively. visiting Germany. France,
Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Hungary,
Greece, Turkey and the Balkan states.
Everywhere that he journeyed Mr..
GIBSON made acquaintance. He
spent much time in studying the po-
htical and social problems of the diff.
ferent peoples and gathering much
interesting information in regard tc
their habits Of life.
Mr. Gipson is most enthusiast,
over the idea Of the Rhodes scholar

especially England to understand bet

One of the most disasterous fires
that ever occurred in Caldwell was
that Monday morning when the Com
mercial hotel and Prescott photo
graph gallery burned to the ground.
One man was burned to death and
four more were seriously injured. R..
s. Jenkins lost his life. The injured
were M. H. Sweeney, knee capI brok-
en- and badly burned; George Young,
thigh bone broken and badly burned;
Clarence Murray, dislocated ankle
and burns; Dan Hewlett, burns and
foot injured. The fire started in
the hotel somewhere about two
O'Clock. Mr.. A. N. Brown, the pro-
prietor, was awakened about quarter
to three. He Immediately started
through the house to awaken the
guests. The fire gained Roadway so
rapidly that guests in the. second
story found they could not get out
by the stairway and were compelled
to jump from the window Several
were badly bruised in getting out.
The firemen were quickly called
to the scene. They arrived too late
to save the hotel or photo gallery
They did great work however, in saw
ing nearby property. The Union
block was on fire two or three times,
but the boys saved it.
