Memphis, May 22.-(Special )-Memphis put a rivet in the leadership of the league by annexng the third straight setto from Birmingham today.
 The two tallies accumulated in the opening round. The visitors made their lone score of the game in the third.
 George Suggs was the man behind the gun for the locals today, and while he was not quite so effective with his bend CTS as in last Saturdays great game with Montgomery, he showed both speed and curves, allowing but six hits. Still, Gin ger" Clark was there with the proper article at every stage except the first period. and fortunate series of singles, three in number, that fell to the lot of the home boys, was responsible for the out come of the contest.
 After that Hateful first, there was but one connection secured by the Memphii, Cartcr's tap to left garden, and nothing came of 1t.
 Lew Prevented Shutout.
 Walters started the visitors run get ting festival in the third by soaking the spheriod for two sacks into deep right center. wild pitch gave him the right of way to the third station, and after Clark died in an attempt to escort him home (ptcher to f1rst), Molesworth dupli- cated Walters stunt by connecting with a two sacker. The runner sauntered in.
 Molesworth got no farther than second. Suggs worked like a demon to hold the visitors down to that solitary tally. and with clever assistance, succeeded. Things looked ominous for the Hustlers in the ninth, when, with one down, Smith got pass and was advanced to second on a clean cut single to left from Gardners s hickory. Aicock and Garvin both skied to left, however, and the agony of the local fans was over.
 Clark struck out seven men, and AL cock put himself in the limelight in the seventh when he tried to bore a hole in the grandstand in going after high foul The next ball hit buzzed over Oyler's cap, and he brought it down with a jump and a back handed stab that was pretty to see.

Making an Empire.

The Nampa Leader-Hera1d says: The possibilities
of the wonderful section of country in which we
live could hardly be enlarged upon SO various are its
resources and prolific is it of all that augurs for
the making of empire. The judgment of the men
who first III the tracts of sage brush future
IT only the water gotten onto the land, and
whose courage was of the kind that moves noun
tains leading them to finally see contamination of
their hopes and plans has been more than indicated
by the splendid development of the past decade But
the work has only just begun There are still "other
worlds to conquer" and before it is over and the men
who giving their energies to the development are
willing to call the job complete every foot of the land
here which be titled will yield beyond the widest
dreams of those who first thought they saw possbii-
ties here.
The Leader-Hera1d cannot help being optimistic
1t speaks from region where the making of an
empire is we'll under way considering actual accom-
pllShmentS during the few short years since that
country was a barren waste; but as it we'll says in
a broader sense, the work seems just begun to the
real empire builder. The Leader-Hera1d under
stands the spirit that annates the people of the
West. 1t knows that they will never stop while there
is room for greater accomplishments; and while
1t is proud of the things that have already been
done in its field it is not content but wishes
to push and on. That is the spirit that develops
farms and builds cities. Natural resources are
needed, of course, and the of them the better
but natural resources amount to but little without
the spirit of progress of which the Leader-Herald
speaks.

II Bitter Word.

Under the startling caption of "Idaho's Disgrace"
the Occur dAlene Press makes these n1ammatory
remarks:
Judge Wood of Boise has overruled the motion
of Avery c. Moore for an injunction restraining the
State Board from paying Pinkerton bills in the
Haywood case. This leaves Governor Gooding and
the State Board free to pay these bills, many of
which for visits and drunken orgies in houses
of ilrepute by Pinkerton detectives for liquors by
the quart and dozen bottles, of CIGARS for carriage
hire and drunken orgies that would disgrace any
civilized community These bills may be legitimate
and Judge Wood may be right from a legal point
of view in dismssing the case, but how do the peo-
pie, those who pay the taxes and those who have
a moral aversion to such debauchng, feel toward
Governor who approves the methods employed.
The honor of the state is being dragged through
this dirty mre by the State administration. How
do you taxpayers like to foot such bills? There
are not only dozens of them but hundreds, many of
them covered up under the item of ''incidentas"
Others the items that tell the stories of drunk
en- carousals and debauching among them, three
dozen quarts Budweser, So, and one quart Old
Crow, $3.50" Old Crow must be pretty good booze
at the price, and these liquid refreshments were
used in washing down turkey and chicken sand
wiches French sardnes, raspberry jam and olives
Pullman sleepers and tips to porters are frequent
items of expense The payment of such bills will
stand as disgrace to Idaho.

Should Take Lessons of .IOseDh.

An African monarch is broke and wants to sell
his kingdom Kings seldom need money so badly
as that but this one has thirty wives-Kansas City
Times.
This bankrupt monarch should go to Utah to take
lessons in inanciering from the Prophet Joseph
whose superAuity of wives has never caused him
serious inconvenience in keeping the wolf from the
door If he could but learn the Prophets secret
OF success his future would be assured He could
then wheedle coerce his subjects into the belief
that he was the direct representative of the AL
mighty; that in him vested all power over their
spiritual welfare and commercial and political ac-
tiv1t1es. He could wiring from them one-tenth of
all their earnings with which to establish great mer
camille and financial institutions and vast industries
OF every kind and description; and could rest secure
IN every transaction because of the blind fanacticsm
of his followers.
But it would seem that such colossal scheme
OF commercial graft and political corruption in the
gu1se of religion could not exist even in dark Africa

For Idaho Also.

The Spokesman-Review, in common with all of the
saner journals of the Northwest has not been
alarmed at recent abnormal financial conditions, and
has seen cause for fear only in the unreasonng panic
that might have been produced by those who looked
merely upon the surface The Spokesman Review
is in close touch with industrial conditions in the
Inland Empire and in a recent editorial gives some
reassuring facts and figures which show clearly the
wide difference between conditions in this region
now and in 1898. The Spokesman Review SAYS:
Comparison of the productive capacity of the In
land Empire now with its productive capacity in 1898
IS astonishing. The autumn of 1898 found the Spo-
kane country in the depths of despair low prices
and crops ruined by excessive rainfall Nearly all
the wheat was bleached and softened by rain and
the damaged grain could hardly be sold at any price
Many farmers were glad to get 20 cents bushel
tor 1t. No. wheat of which there was little, was
bringing only SO cents at the Spokane mills Farm
ers and business throughout the Paouse country
were holding mass meetings and urging that special
session of the Legislature be held to pass a stay
law to prevent collection of debts and foreclosures
of mortgages by Eastern holders.
The situation was all the more desperate from
the fact that wheat was the only big crop then pro-
duced in the Inland Empire
The contrast with 1907 could hardly be more vivid
Now we have the greatest wheat crop ever grown in
this territory, and the price is around rs cents Our
farmers have also harvested enormous crops of OATS
barley, hay potatoes apples and other products
all or which are commanding the highest prices
known here in many years. Their livestock and
dairy products also bring them millions of dollars
In 1898 the lumber industry was practically
developed. The lumber industry this year adds $17-
10000 to the wealth of the Inland Empire
In 1893 the mining industry was comparatively
undeveloped and in the autumn of that year every
mine in the Occur d'Alenes was shut
down. Lead selling below 3 cents it now com
mands nearly cents. The production of the Occur
