LOGS ARE ARIMc
Main Drive Win Reach Town
This Week.

Il
A steady string of logs is coming
into town for both McNish Z Allen
and the White Pine company. They
are the forerunners of the main
drive which will reach this city in
two OF three days.
The McNish logs. numbering some
6 million feet, are in the valley and
will all be in by Sunday. The drive
has been very successful one and
no fatalities among the river pigs,
as they are called. has occurred.
The White Pine company has
found it necessary to put on another
shift of men owing to the steady in
coming of logs. The log train now
makes two trips a dav, hauling each
time about 10 carloads.

IsERFORFEIIEDGAME
Fails to Show up at Appoint
ed Time.

In its desire to revenge itself OF
Caldwell for the means resorted tl
to win the ball game a week ago
the Weiser ball team failed to show
up for the game with Emmett on
Sunday and the local team has put
in claim for the decision in its
favor and the forfeit money of $50.
The matter will be decided tonight
at Caldwell, a meeting of the direct
ors of the league having been called
for that purpose.
The Emmett team arrived at
Weiser Sunday morning about 10
O'Clock. They were met at the depot
by Manager O'Toole, who informed
them the ditch had broken and flood
ed the ball grounds; that it would be
to play the scheduled
game, and that most of the Weiser
team would go to Payette to assist
the team there to defeat Caldwell.
The Emmett boys made an investi-
cation and found that the ditch had
been purposely broken and the water
turned onto the ball grounds to pre-
,ent game being played. Never
.heless, it was evident the mud
would be dried up by 3 O'Clock in
he afternoon. and the Emmett play |
RS insisted on playing the game as
cheduled. But Weiser was drunk |
With revenge and boarded the first
rain for Payette. At 8 o'clock the |
immett team appeared on the
rounds in uniform and no Weiser
layers appearing, decided to put in
claim for the game and the forfeit
honey.
Payette. strengthened by six
Veiser players, won from Caldwell

eated Mountainhome Is to Z.
Payette and Caldwell played off

Do You Want a Mower?

The best is the cheapest. The Nc
Cormick will last longer than any
other three mowers made. They al
ways have and they always will. If
you have had no experience. ask,
your neighbor who has had.
You will have less trouble and less
repairs to buy. You can always get
repairs for the Mccormick. LOOK
OUT FOR HOT AIR. Remember,
there are l07 Mccormick machines
made to one of any other make and
the actual cost is $3.50 more than
any other mower made.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH
Neighborhood Picnics Were
the Order of the Day.

The Fourth was observed in a
quiet way in this city A few people
went to Boise and Nampa, but the
great majority sensibly stayed at
home and enjoyed themselves at
neighborhood picnics.
A large number of people attend
ed the Sunday school picnic in the
Vanderdasson grove, six miles down
the valley, where most enjoyable
day was spent. In the morning
patriotic program of music and reci-
tations was rendered by the pupils
of the Vanderdasson, the Slope and
the Emmett Methodist Sunday
schools, and it was greatly enjoyed.
A pleasing feature was a flag drill
by number of girls from the Van
derdasson school, music for which
was furnished by H. B. Baker on his
clarionet and the organ. AT noon,
groups of people scattered them
selves about the shady grove and
partook of picnic dinner. There
were more good things to eat than
we have ever seen at one time. In |
the afternoon there were two ball |
games, both of which were won by
the Emmett lads; a foot race for
boys, won by Fred Wells; a girls
race, won by Hazel Chaplin with
Mildred Williams a close second;
three-legged race, won by Laurel
Wells and Emmett Woody; 50-yard
race. won by Laurel Wells, who also
won the high jump, and long jump,
won by Ralph Vanderdasson.
In the Dewey grove, east of town,
another picnic was held by the Nor
non people, which was largely at
tended and highly enjoyed. There,
90, there were lots of good things
o eat, sports of all kinds, and
splendid patriotic program rendered.

The Size OF the Atom.

When we run up against octillions
we are ready to turn the figures over

John A. Brashear. in an address de-
livered at Lehigh University short
while ago. gave what seems to be a
new illustration Of the minuteneSS of
the atom. Quoting Lord Kelvin S
saying that: "If we raise drop of
water to the size Of the earth and
the atom in the same proportion,
then it will be some place between
the size of a marble and a cricket
ball" Mr. Brashear then said:
eff you fill a tiny vessel one cent?

tion seems almost tritling with sci
ence, indeed apparently trifling with
the human intellect: but it is with
these subtle theories that our phySi-
cistS are wrestling, delving into the
innermost chamber of the infinitely
minute, to build for US, upon the

Harriman'S Tale Worse than
EVeIyn'S

A Philadelphia father appeals to
the editor of the North American to
suppress, as far as possible, the dis
gushing details of Hartman S story of
business depravity and commercial
diShonor on the witness stand. He
believes it's effect far more insidious
and dangerous to the youthful reader
than the testimony in the IhaW
trial.
"Here we have" he writes, "a cap
tain general of American business
telling story that from the point of
view of old-faShioned business honor
reeks with shame. Hidden by the
gliding of millions in profits, his story
has the guiSe of respectability and
the lure OF a successful light for great
riches. 1t cannot fail to set up new
standard of business honor for the
coming generation. If Hartman can
resort to the methods by which he
piled up his millions and still retain
his place in the front rank of respect
able business men, a leader of finance
and captain of industry, why,
there's the new ideal for the Ameri-
can boys and young men.
There can be no question that the
successful application of the green
goods and gold-brick games to the af-
fairs of high finance has had a mark
ed and debasing effect on business
ideals in America. But the remedy
for the disease is not suppression, but
publicity. The revulsion of senti-
ment that has followed Harriman's
com placent admissions on the stand
shows that American business ethics
are sound at the core. 1t is a healthy
| sign that the Hartman revelations
have aroused very general and very
genuine Indignation. The highland
ed methods of the railroad dictators
have resulted in legislative anti.
| railroad campaign that has extended
to most of the states of the union.
| So decisive is the reaction thus
brought about that there is danger OF
going too far. Meanwhile the keen,
white light of publicity with it's pow
erful sterlizing qualities, is the best
, prophylactic agent that can be used
in driving out the microbe OF com.

A Good Game.

Sioux Falls Press: "The basket ball
game at Canton on Friday evening
was one of the best the Sioux Falls
high school team of girls has had this
season" remarked Prof. Christianson,
who went to Canton with the Sioux
Falls visitors.
ut was a close game. The Canton
team led in the first half and it was
revealed that Canton was better than
last year. Sioux Falls had some un-
favorable conditions to contend with,
in a very slippery floor and less room
in which to play.
1.-The umpiring of the game was
however, very fair and satisfactory
and the Canton people gave us very
cordial reception and a thoroughly
good time. We could not have been
better treated"
Canton will come to Sioux Falls for
a game on the first Wednesday in
next month.

A new law, dealing with the postal
service, will go into effect on the first
of July, which will prove a benefit to
the general public.
On and after that date it will be pos
sible to secure pecial delivery Of let
ters through the United States mails
without atfiXing to each letter a spe-
cial delivery stamp.
Ten cents ordinary postage stamps
will secure special delivery for the let
ter. 1t will be only necessary to atfix
the stamps and write especial deliv.
cry" upon the envelope, and it vii
be delivered as soon as it reach es its
destination.
The advantage in this will be -to
the farmer or the person WHO resides
some distance from a postotlice, who
cannot readily get special delivery
stamps.
