Next Tuesday June II, is day
observed by the Odd Fellows of Ida
no as Memorial day. The day is
generally observed throughout the
United States by this fraternity but
all states do not hold the same day,
owing to the differences in climate
in the different localities. Idaho
Odd Fellows will observe June nth,
because it is the most beautiful
month in the year. Nature is do
ing her best to send forth plants
and flowers at this time TO assist in
decorating and making the earth
more beautiful. Flowers are plen-
tiful and easily obtained and the
decorating and cleaning up OF Gem
eteries most seasouable.
In the evening public services
will be held in Odd Fellows hall, at
which Rev. ]. F. Jennings OF Nam
pa will be the speaker. The public
is invited to attend.

Or. Mather's New House.

The new dwelling uf DR.. Mather
OH the corner of Bennett and Bert
streets is rapidly nearing completion
and will soon be ready for occupsn-
cy When finished it will be ten
room dwelling built of concrete and
with all the modern convenicnccs
that go to make home comfortable.
The concrete blocks were supplied
by the local dealers, Gendron q
Labbee, and are far superior to the
blocks first produced. This enter
prising firm was not satisfied With
the single dead air spaces and by
experimenting produced block
with double row of spaces alter
mating through the wall. BY this
means it is impossible for moisture
to work it's way through to the in
side of the wall which is the case
in the single row of air spaces.
With this improvement the concrete
block should be the building mater
ial of the future. The carpenter
work has been in charge OF ]. 5.
4 Johnson whose excellent work /:
far too well known in this com
munity for us to make further
comment. The interior will b'
finished in hard wood.

Memorial Day Observed.

Memorial Day is coming more and
more to hold the place due it from
its Importance among the public
days Of the year, here in Noun
tain Home. The weather on the
3oth was nearly an ideal spring
day. The band was a very import
ant part of the days program. The
procession in the forenoon, with
Mr.. Bradford as marshal, was or
derry, long and impress I've.
At the cemetery a brief program,
muisc by the band, prayer by Rev.
c. E. Maons was followed by deco
ration OF the graves, the old soldiers
having a flag and bouquet. AT
8: 80 in the afternoon services were
held at the park in the band stand,
the band giving a number of highly
appreciated selection prayer BY
Rev. c. Mclean; address Of strength
and patriotism by Rev. Geo. E
Paddock of Boise.
Much credit is due the officres o
the Memorial association and com
mittse of arrangements. 1t has beef
suggested that the band stand shoul'
nave some decorations on Decora
tion Day. There should be a gen
eral interest in this day and som
provision for necessary expenses.

THAT GAME MONDAY.

So confident was Nampa that
Mountatin Home was nor invincible
that a game was arranged to take
place the following day.
Nampa framed up. the best play
ers in the league and when the
game was called was well pre-
pared to meet Goddard's regulars.
The game was an even break until
the fifth when by series of lucky
hits Nampa put two hits over the
fence which let three men across
the plate, and in the next inning
two more tallies were hung up
which put them in the clear.
Goddard's bunch played good ball,
but luck was against them and they
were up against defeat for sure.
Although some disappointment was
/ felt it must be remembered that
winning team will sometimes
loose.

OMAHA BUSINESS MEN
WILL BE HERE JUNE l3

All arrangements have now been
for the Great Northwest
Trade Excursion which the business
men of Omaha will make in June. I
All that now remains TO be done is
to 60 ahead and carry out those ar
The various cities
along the route have been very kind
and are showing great interest in
their coming and in many instances
have planned elaborate receptions
and entertainments for them. The
assurance is given that the adver-
tiscd schedule will be strictly OBJ
served. Although scheduled for a
trip of only sixteen days, the party
could easily spend a month on the
excursion, so numerous are the in
vitations which have been sent the
Commercial club. Nearly every city
and town along the entire 5000
miles of way has written asking tor
an extension of time. While these
invitations are most gratifying and
the sentiment expressed by them is
greatly appreciated by the managers
of the trip, it has been found impos-
sible to comply with these requests.
The running time of the train has
been figured to nicely and every
moment possible has been allotted
to each town which will be Wis
tied.
In answering requests for long
er stay, attention is being called tc
the Injustice which would be done
the citizens of the next town, il
the train is held beyond the time
of departure advertised. In max
ing the time table the railroad
people laid down certain rules ant
strict adherence to printed schedul
is the most imperative.
Instead of bringing brass band
as the Omaha men have alway
done in the past, the Elks' quar-
, tette, the finest quartette west
Chicago, will be with the party
There will be numerous occasion
at which music will be desired an
= the Omaha men will be prepared
' furnish a first class article in ths
D line. The quar- tette is composed {
: ]. R. Gerke, first tenor, w. S. Rif

c ticipating most interesting, II

THE SUNDAY GAME.

Mountain Home continued the
march to the head of the percentage
by walloping the Beet Diggers Sum
dav to the tune of 7 10 6. The game
WAS one of the most interesting
nlayed in the league this season.
The teams were out for the game
and the way they went after the
leather was a caution. The Dudes
did not play their usual fast game,
hut were there strong enough to get
the goods and that was what we
were looking for.
Mountain Home scored twice on
an error in hte second and scored
three times in the third and twice
again in the eighth.
Nampa scored in the third and
fourth. twice in the fifth and twice
again in the eighth.
Nampa lost out a number OF time;
by trying close plays when there
was no need of them, but soor
learned the gait Of the Dudes anC
.cut out the dope thereby savini
themselves a more humiliating de
feat.

TarkiO tntertainS.

The Tarkio delegation of Noun
tain Home gave Miss Anna McKen-
zie quite happy surprise Monday
evening. 1t being the occasion OF
her birthday the women in a quiet
way prepared an elegant lunch dur
ing the day and promptly at six
O'Clock everybody marched in car
rying their own plate and seating
themselves on the floor, asked Uncle
Peter Mckenzie and his charming
niece to eat with them. After sup
per and a few hours of jokes and
chatting the guests departed wish
ing Miss Mckenzie happy future
and many more birthdays.

Mountain Home at POCatellO.

The Dudes played double header
at Pocatello on Decoration day and
the way they did things to that
bunch of amateurs is shame to
mention. From start to finish both
games were one great swattest IN
which Manager Goddard's veterans
were the whole show. After their
return from the carnage the boys
were all going around town with
their heads down, but they say they
couldn't help it. During the tirst
game Pocatello tried out the oest OF
the local talent but they only prov
ed a bunch Of tin soldiers against
the onslaughts of Capt. Whites ag-
gregation. Settle, the boy pitcher,
stood up during the awful stress ano
as a result drew a release. For the
afternoon meet Pocatello brought
into the game every available pro-
tessional within travelling distance
of Pocatello, but it was no use
CAPTAIN White was too foxy for any
slab artist they could produce ane
the game was a repetition OF tht
mornings performance.

ONE THOUSAND
ACRES OF FRUIT
R. NJ. Wheeler Expresses Confidence in this
Community and Tells the People
to Get together.

l.
r. M, Wheeler, formerly of We
nachie, Ore, who about sixty days
ago bought 1000 acres of land near
town, was here a few days last
week making arrangements to have
this property cleared and leveled-
He was on his way to Missouri
where he intends to purchase
enough fruit trees to cover every
foot of his land.
This is only another evidence I.
of the resources and possibilities
of this country. Mr.. Wheeler
comes from a country that labored
throuhg the same discouragements
this country has experienced and is
ments. He expresses confidence in
Mountain Home and it's future by
purchasing 1000 acres of land and
paying cash for every foot. He
says: Few of the people here and
in fact he doubts il the members of
the Great Western Beet Suagr COM
pany fully appreciate what they
have here in the way of lands and
irriag tion. There is no reason
whatever why land within radius
of five miles from Mountain Home
will not sell for $500 per acre with
in five years time. He furhcr
said: Land near Wanachie is now
selling at $1,000 per acre and less
t<.r, ha land
was selling for less than 100 per
acre. He said that he could see no
reason why the same conditions will
not exist at this place. Nature has
done much for this country; she has
hoisted the waters to the mountains
I and has bequeathed us the finest
climate in the world and all that
remains is for the people to get to-
gether and assist nature further in
:, making the valley one great garden
of vegetation. The .pessimist who
sees no good in the efforts of his
brother is only detriment to his
: own best interests and the good Of
: his neighbor. Mountain Home at
the beginning Of its greater develop
. ment needs boosters and men ready
to give to the communities best in
- terests. Capital that is being at
= tracted to our valley should not be
- frightened from investment by the
false alarm set up by those who will
= not see things as they truly exist.
lint he words of Mr.. Wheeler II
is up to the people to bring about
the conditions that exist in Wa
nachie and only by concerted ac
" tion can this be hoped for"

DOGS IN BATTLE
Separated By Their Owners on Center
 Street Yesterday.

Yesterday the pet dog of Dr Sher- man Chipman of Center street locked horns with canine of native Sweden. The two CUTS were mixing it up so strenuously that they would un- doubtedly have been arrested had Superintendent Beach, of the police department or any other trusty lieu tenant been on the scene. As it was the owners of both dogs made rush to separate the combatants. Dr Chip man grabbed the other mans Xxi vi by the back of the neck and hurled it about fifteen feet. He then picked uI his own pet and placing 1t upon his shoulders started on his way. But the dog with which the doctor used the forward pass came running up and tried to jump up on the doctors shoulder in order to get bite at the terrier resting there. The doctor and the owner of the attacking dog were eager to keep the bow vows from getting together again so they were busy for few moments. After the excitement subsided the other man found that his right hand had been ripped in three places by the doctors dog. Although the teeth of the ani
 nal did not go deep they tore the skin of the mans hand badly. Dl Chipman and the other man had 6 little sidewalk conversation, but die not come to blows.

THE SUPERIOR COURT
Mrs Rachel Bamlin Granted g
 a Divorce This Morning.

Mrs Rachel A. Hamlin, an employe of the Scovill Manufacturing con- pany was granted divorce to-day from John c. Hamlin on the grounds of intemperance. During the recital of her marital difficulties Mrs Hamlin wept bitterly. She was Miss Took CT when she married Hamlin in King ston, N. Y, in June, 1892. Then from place to place they went around New York state until they finally found themselves in New York city, Hamlin doing all he could to drink up everything, his wife working every day and trying to keep her earnings from her husband She found it nec- essary to leave him several times be- cause once in a while her heart would fail her and she would give up all hope of trying to make sober man of him. It was in April, 1908, Mrs Hamlin was in charge of an apart ment house in New York and Hamlin had lost all his jobs through his ab- normal appetite for strong waters. On account of his drinking they had tc quit the apartment house and then Mrs Hamlin hired room and put hel husbands trunk in it. He was drink ing up everything he could lay his hands on.
 Attorney Reeves, her counsel, ask, ed for Hamlin's specific conduct when he was intoxicated, and Mrs Hamlir described it in this way:
 ''He would abuse me- One time l for two weeks he would not let me sleep. I had to wash him up for he would fall in the dirt. He would gel into fights with men in saloons and he would get home with his head cut open and I would have to do it up He never gave me any money and worked every day. had to dress hin l for he would work until pay day and then go on 'spree.' The memory of these bitter times were too much for Mrs Hamlin and she wept bitterly ! Between sobs she stated that Hamlir got her fingers between the door once and he mashed them.
 Calvin l.. Tooker, her brother testi l fled that when he last saw Hamlin he was down and out, a wretch, a ruin Frank O. Pilgrim gave similar evi dence. Hamlin worked for the Wa terbury Manufacturing company ant in the clock case shop. Besides a de. cree Mrs Hamlin was allowed hel | maiden name.
 Mrs Catherine Bonnard, whose pre- vious name was Husser, sought a de cree on the grounds Of desertion. .Sh was represented by Attorney Hayes Bonnard was false name, Hughe: was the mans right name and he wa. deserter from the army when ht married Miss Hausser. There was nc further testimony given and at tht suggestion of the court the case wen over. The case of Michael Pietraroi; | against Carolina T. Pietraroia wa continued week to give Attorne, Bauby, counsel for the petitioner, al opportunity to procure further evi dence. This case was based on al legged infldelity and Antonio Sabatinc was named correspondent.
 All of the other cases were put ove to next Friday.
