A Sure Star.

The ST. Louis Sporting News of
recent date has the following to
stay about Walter Johnson, the
phenominael baseball pitcher from
Idaho:
''The Detroit papers have al
ready cinched the pennant tor their
team. If they could persuade
Joe Contillin to sell or give them
Walter Johnson, they would have
a pipe sure enough. This young
man is going to be real star. He
will be 20 years old next season
and has not finished growing and
developing. When he fills out
that frame of his and then puts his
strength in the throw, look out
for him. This boy, notwithstand
ing his great success in big league
cities, went home the same unas-
suring quiet, retiring youth that
he was when he came here.
That he was not SPOILED. by the
fulsomeprsise AMI many flowery
notices showercd OH him is as great

Johnson says that he did by far
his best work in the box when Mike
Kahoc caught him. Mike has
drifted around in big and little
leagues for IS years but he has
never shown to better advantage
than when working with Johnson.
The youngsters lack of experience
seems TO call forth every bit of
Kahoe's knowledge and wisdom
born of close contact with the bat
ters of all the high class leagues.
Never graded as star, sometimes
branded a slow thinker, Kahoe has
, fitted in so well with Johnson as
/ to make the pair considered bat
terry of superior strength. -

IraffiCkirg in Evil.

POCatel1O presents peculiar sit
uation- All reform is impending
there that will leave the city SO
quake suddeness-bu it seems not
to be reform for reforms sake,
but reform brought about
through the spirit of retaliation
and sordid scramble for public
funds. Such reform cannot be
said to represent a wholesome sem
timent- 1t does not appear to be
borne of a desire for a higher
standard of civil Righteousness. The
story is this: The county author
tiles closed the redIight district of
Pocatel1o. That deprived the city
of its main source of revenue,
aside from that der ived by property
taxtaiOn. The city council, in the
hope of arrOuSing the business men
of the place to bear on the county
authorities to the end that the vice
vineyard be rehahilitated, started
on their way to enact two ordin-
ances, one prohibiting the sale of
liquor excepting for medical pur-
poses, and tie other 1evying an oc-

BIG SPUDS GROWN
IN SOUTHERN IDAHO.
Idaho vies With Colorado for Size of Po-
tatOes grown. A few Hints
To The Grower.

one of these means crop failure
portant as a conserver of moisture
and less water is required where
a field is in a high state of cuiad-
walton. The corn growers of the
middle states understand the i'm
portapcc of cultivation.
The possibilities for profitable
potatoe growing in this section arc
limitless. Soil, water, sunshine
all lend their lavish aid.
The most serious drawback to be
found here, and one which can
perhaps be aided by the proper
dency of the potatoe to grow 70
great size. Big potatoes increase
the tonnage per acre, but the me-
dunn size is demanded by the mar
kcts.
AS showing what the soil can
do when pushed to the limit is on

a collection of immense potatoes,
the largest of which weighs five
and one half pounds, the product
of the farm of DR.. Chas. Mes

COMING ATTRACTION 5.

''Why Girls Leave Homc,'' E.
j. Carpenters latest offering at the
Garrett Opera House on Saturday,
November 10 is said to be a play
that is admirably constructed, hav-
ing very little of the bombastic SO
characteristic of the mclodramat1c
style. There is welcome lack of
stage machinery, and in place of
these Mr.. Carpenter, the owner,
has invested his capital in adequate
stage settings. The story tells of
a wilful young girl who Innocent
ly got into bad company, but her
brother, also a headstrong person,
sought to advise her by angry
speech. Ncttled by his attitude.
the girl gets deeper into the
clutches of a designing wanton.
The brother, in o frenzy, strikes
her and thinks he has caused her
death, when in reality she has
been carried away by his enemies
in order that he might be hanged
for the crime; fatal results seem
eminent, when by fortunate
combination of cir cumstarces, all
danger is averted. A cast OF play
ers of unusual excellence is prom
ised in the production of the piece

In PocatelIo.for the purpose of pro-
moting great Sagebr ush fiesta, to
be held some time during 1908,
IN honor of the conquest of the

ragated states, and its people, after
casting about for some fitting
means of marking the great re-
generation of the states sterile
area, have adopted the idea of L.
Bush Livermore, editor of the
Pocatello Tribune. The services
OF 1daho's foremost boosters have
been enlisted in the movement, and
1t is proposed to make the Sage
brush Fiesta one of the most mem
orable events in the history of the
west.
One of the principal advertisers
of the Fiesta is Blaine Phillips of
Boise, formerly editor and pub
Usher of the Northwest Magazine.
Mr.. Phillips was in the city yes
terday preparing to undertake some
literary work for the Oregon Short
Line. He is to make several trips
on the company's lines and write
articles which are to appear in a
Union Pacific publication. Be
fore his departure or Granger last
night, Mr.. Phillips had the follow

Fiesta:
''Expositions, exhibitive enter
prlses of smaller scope and Conven-
tions have become so numerous
within the past few years that one
might almost expect the birth
of calf to be observed with some
fitting celebration. Notwithstand-
ing, the sagebrush Fiesta is pre-
sented without diffidencc. 1t will
commemorate something of far
greater Importance TO humanity
than the mere promotion of COM
mercial relations, the exhibition OF
craftwork from foreign climes or
the assimilation of foreign ideas
and customs. 1t will mark, pri-
marily, a triumph of science that
takes precedence over any of the
later discoveries which have taxed
the credence of the layman. 1t will

A Crazy Man
Runs AmuCk

Sheriff Fountain brought a crazy
man up from Glenns Ferry on the
late train Friday night and though
his entrance to Mountain Home
was as unobtrusive as possible
every one was aware of his ar
rival. He was very violent and
required from three to six at
tcndants to care for him. From
his rambling conversation it was
learned that he had relatives in
Chicago. He had forgotten his
name and nothing definite could
be learned from him. He was
taken to Blackfoot and placed in
charge of the state institution for
all such unfortunatcs.
