In beginning his address Mr.. Haw-

described as one of the foremost fig
ures OF the state of Idaho. He told
also Of the positions held by Meyer,

BRAHsoh STILL CHAMPION
On the Tennis Courts Ray Branson
Still Holds the Title of Cham
pion of the City.

Monday evening saw the close in
the tennis tournament when the
championship finals was played by
Ray Branson and Roy VanAlstine,
the latter being one of the new play
ers who has come up in the last two
seasons. The tennis that young Van
Alstine put on this occasion and
through the tournament indicates
that he will have to be reckoned
with among the best players in the
city.
There was quite a large crowd out
to see the match between the players
and they were rewarded by seeing a
very interesting and close match
from beginning to end. VanAlstine
was a trifle nervous in his play, at
the start, but he overcame it and got
into the game strong. Branson play
ed a strong net game and on a short
lob it was a dead sure point for him
to kill it either on the side lines or
placing it very swift at the feet of his
opponent. Both men worked some
very pretty passes throughout the
match and the points were frequently
contested to duece.
Branson % the match in three
straight sets, 6-3, Ga, 6-3. In the
second set Van Alstine made a bid
for a set, when he had the score 4-3,
but Branson pulled up on his play
is third or fourth championship which
Branson has won in the city.

No Scale Inspector.

Pierre Capital-Journal: No scale
inspector in the state and warehouses
are beginning to buy graf n. The in
surgents had a new law passed taking
the appointment out of the railroad
commission power and placing it In

has failed to act, and so there is no
inspector, the former inspector hav-
ing resigned. The legislature allow
ed only $1,000 a year for salary and
expenses, and as the man must travel
most of the time if the interests of
the farmer are to be protected, it
means there can be no good service
done under the insurgent change.
Then, too, it is limited it was a deal
of the elevator combine with the in
surgent leaders, to practically kill
the hands of the governor. The latter
so that no one would take it, except
perhaps Nye Phillips, who it is be-
lieyed will be given the job. One
more reform effort. If the farmers
sell grain on short weight scales they
can simply charge it up to the ele-
vator combine under insurgent pro-
lection.

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scien-
lists are unanimous in the conclusion
that the generally accepted limita-
ton OF human life is many years
below the attainment possible with
the advanced knowledge of which the
race is now possessed. The critical
period, that determines its duration,
seems to be between so and 60; the
proper cart of the body during this
decade cannot be too strongly urged;
careiessness then being fatal to lon
gevity. Natures best helper after

HOT FIGHT At HURON
Referendum Asked for in Order That
Steve Dales Could be Granted a
Saloon License.

For a couple of weeks they have
been having a hot fight over at Hur-
on over the proposition of granting
a license to S. A. Dales, of this city.
Steve had an application before the
city council for a license to establish
a saloon at Huron, but when it came
up to a vote the application was de-
MED. Some of Steve's friends in
Huron did not propose to let the
matter drop there so they got out
a petition and secured the signatures
of 81 people asking the city council
the city council refusing to grant to
to Dale to the citizens of Huron for
a vote on the proposition. The Huron
Journal-World reports the following
action on the referendum petition:
Holding that there was nothing to
referend and that if a recent motion
the city council refusing OF grant to
S. A. Dales of Mitchell a license to
sell intoxicating liquors could not be
referred to a popular vote any more
than would the granting or non
granting of other licenses to hacks,
drays OF dogs, City Attorney Fair
bank advised the city council to take
no action whatever with the refer
endum petition filed, and this advice
was accepted by the council. On July
l., last, the council made a motion
that the application and petition of
S. A. Dales to sell intoxicating liquors
at retail in the city of Huron for the
year beginning July J., 1907, be re-
jected." On July "a, a petition sign
ed by 81 taxpayers, asking hat the
motion be referred to a vote by the
people, was filed with the city clerk.

Moved to Sioux Falls.

Armour Chronicle-Tribune: T. B..
Roberts shipped his household goods
to Sioux Falls this week, where he
expects to make his future home. MI.
Roberts was compelled to make this
move owing to his duties as private
secretary to Senator Kittredge keep
ing him in Sioux Falls most of the
time, and therefore away from home.
T. B. is n of the old settlers of
this county and has a host of friends
who regret to see him depart, also
his estimable wife, but wish them
the "best what is" in their new home.
No doubt it will be hard for the fam
lily to stay away from the old home
and friends very long at a time, and
we expect to see them make us a
visit quite often. Here's hopin.'

This Will Hold John d.

ut is not the fellows who throw
bombs or make incendiary speeches
in Haymarket Square who are the
real anarchists" remarks the Mil
bank Review, "but such pirates and
outlaws as old John D. Rockefeller,
who twice within a short period has
been a fugitive from justice in dodg-
ing out of the way when court officers
were hunting for him to serve sum-
mons to appear in court to testify.
What can be expected of poor deluded
wretches who suffer from the causes
of a system brought about by such
criminals as Rockefeller who lay
some claim to responsibility and hon
or, and whose illgotten wealth has
helped to impoverish the m
people, when he and his associates
go free and parade themselves as
honest and G%od-fearing folk? There
is a whole lot to think about and
moralize about in these matters"

THE SLAUGHTER WAS BAD
The Alexandria Team Came Over
Friday Afternoon and Cleaned
up the Home Nine.

The score between Alexandria and
Mitchell in the ball game Friday af-
Gernoon was 13 to 8. Alexandria won.
1t was a whirlwind of a slaughter
for the Mitchell team and the boys
thought the least said about the mat
ter the better. Sid Smith, who had
charge of he local team, said he had
enough. and SO far as he was con-
cerned he had closed his part Of the
The game commenced with Mer-
rift in the box for Mitchell and Sey-
nor was behind the bat. When
Alexandria got a crack at the ball it
was easy money, and in the first three
innings they scored ten runs off of
Merritt. The fielders were kept busy
in the field chasing flies, as the hits
were all a little too long or a little
too short. Will Scallin, who was
playing ever in left field, said that
of all the ball games he had ever
played in he never had to do so
much running as in this one, and
after he was about exhausted he got
the captain to change pitchers and
George Johnston went to stop the
slaughter. After that Alexandria
only made three scores. Johnston
pitched good ball after that and the
intaeld made good plays, the errors
growing less when a better pitcher
was in the box. Seynor did not prove
a good backstop and made little eff
Tort to get after the ball except when
it came in his nit. Sid Smith said
he had only four regular men on his
nine, but the substitutes made just
as good showing.
Mitchell made three scores in their
nine innings as the result OF some
hitting at opportune times. Smith
occupied the box and Mike Nancy,
who has been catching ball in this
section for fifteen years, was behind
the bat for Alexandria.
Jim Dobson umpired the game in
a satisfactory manner and his deci-
sions were not questioned very often.
There was only a small attendance
at the game.

TOWNS PUTTING IN SEWERS

1t is noticeable that it is not en-
tirely the larger towns of the state
which are anxious to have all the
better accommodations, but in these
times of prosperity the smaller places
are aking front rank in being equip
ped with the things which go to

Improvement of putting in sewer

for the establishment of a sewer sys-
tenn. The new modern residences that
are being built in these places de-
mand a good eve system and the
towns are going to meet it. Plank
inton has already issued bonds for
$4,000 to build their system, and
the little town of Ashton has al
ready commenced to install it's sys-
TEN. At that place the need of a
sewer system is apparent from the
fact that for a good many years the
artesian we'll and the leaking water
mains have caused the ground all
the town to become saturated
with water so that every cellar in
the place is filled with water and it
is impossible to dig a basement with
out e%ncountering water to a large de-
gree.
