WILLIAM \. TAF 7
RECEIVES THE
NOMINATION

According to telegram received
at this Office as we are going to
press, Taft has received the nomi.
nation for president at the republic
can convention being held in Chica.
60. The telegram is vague and
states.
"Taft was nominated on the 1st
ballot" and by big vote while
there was some opposition, it has
long been conceded that he had
the majority of the delegates. 1t
was Roosevelt policy Of big stick
and while he would have failed
utterly to secure the plum il deni-
ed the help of the administration,
when Teddy made known his wish
es the candidates had little chance
Of winning. Taft is not noted for
anything-the best that can be said
Of him is that he is Roosevelt 3
shadow.
Huges was the first man put in
nomination, then followed the
presenting Of the nape of Taft,
this was at the noon hour. Mccoy
of Ohio presented the name of
Foraker at 1880, then followed
the presentation of the name Knox
Of Pennsylvania.
Tho selection of the man for the
second place on the ticket con-
tinues to occupy the attention OF
the convaption. Cummins remains
a favori8 but others are pressing
their claims.

Another Opening


To those who failed to get land
at Twin Falls the following news
will be of interestto them. This land
is located in one of the best ir-
rigated districts in the west and
while some of the land to be
thrown open is not the best much
Of it is first-class. 1t can easily be
irrigated.
Surplus Indian lands of the
Yakima Indian reservation will be
thrown open for homestead entry
next year, according to Congress-
men Westley l.. Jones, who has
just returned from Washington
D. G., says the Yakima Herald.
"Beyond a doubt the govern.
ment will be ready to appraise and
classify the surplus lands by this
fall or next spring." stated
Congressman Jones, "and l be.
lieve the work will consume about
six months, so it is safe to say the
reservation will be ready to bt
thrown open for entry some time
next year at the latest.
These surplus lands include be-
tween 100000 and 100000 acres
and while the best lands have beer
allotted, never. the-less there is {
large amount of excellent land il

From w Warren

r. B. MacGregory of the Ramey
Ridge mining district, came in the
last of the week from Warren on
his way to Spokane, where he will
spend several weeks in a business
way. Mr.. MacGregory has two
claims in that district, the Apex
and the Bell. They are both good
properties, the Apex being bonded
recently to eastern parties for
$40, 900. He states work is being
done on the Pueblo and that the
lead was struck at depth OF
$50 feet. There is much snow in
the camp and the lateness of the
spring has greatly retarded work
but nevertheless a very active
season is looked for.

FIRST Engine Over the Bridge

The engineer to run the first en-.
gine over the Lawyers Canyon rail
road bridge will receive a sum be-
tween 1000 and $1,000 for the
risk he takes. While the bridge
is built with the expectancy that
it will support the heaviest Of
trains, there is Ialways a chance Of
flaw existing in the steel in the
structure and the consequent dan.
ger of an accident. Forty ton loca
motives will be used on this line.

TWO MORE SCAlPS
Local Ball Team Defeats Cot

EXAMPLES OF GOOD PLAYING
Both the Games Were Close
Whitebird be Here Sunday

The past week has been one OF
enthusiasm among the local fans
and Grangeville has had her win.
ming clothes on right. Two more
scalps have been added to her col
lection, Cottonwood and White
bird are now dangleing from her
belt. Both games were good ball
playing and especially the one
with the Salmon river boys. How
Grangeville ever did get away with
the honors at the Sunday game is a
miracle. The boys of the White
bird team play ball in every sense
of the word and to win from them
is a great honor. The game to be
played here Sunday with the team
of Whitebird is going to be close
one and if the locals win they'll
have to do lot Of practicing.
Cottonwood Lost
Last Friday the local team made
trip across the Prairie and play.
ed game with the Cottonwood
boys. 1t was pretty game but
the Cottonw wood team did not prove
to be invincibles as it has had the
reputation of being. At the con-
clusion of the game the tally was s
to DIN Grangeville's favor. Ten
hits were made off the Cotton wood
pitcher and to Bonner, who pitched
for Grangeville, is due much of the
credit for winning, but two hits be.
ing made off of him. A large crowd
from here attended and speak high
ly of the treatment received from
the citizens of that town.
Crangeville Whitebird
The Grangeville Base Ball Clut
crossed bats at Whitebird Sunday
June IA, 1908, with the White.
bird Base Ball Club, before the
largest crowd of enthusiastic fans
that ever attended base ball game
in the Salmon River Country.
A large delegation of Grange
vile Rooters accompined the home
team to the scene of the con test, anC
witnessed the Whitebird boys &c
down in the dust to defeat.
Grangeville started the game
with their crack pitcher Bonner
occupying the slab, but owing tt
the irregularity Of the diamond
the home plate being about
feet higher than the pitchers box,
he was unable to do any effective
twirling, and was replaced by
Ralph Williams in the 4th innin,
with the game 5 to O in favor o
Whitebird, but Williams was equa
to the occasion and pitched out
victory, as nc runs and only ont
his were made off OF hiscurves.
! 1t looked mighty blue for tn
Camas diggers the beginning o
the 4th inning, and the Gov
punchers thought they had cinch
but the boys started off the fir
works in the 7th inning and afte
the smoke had cleared away tn
score stood Grangevi le 6. Whit'

| Mcmillan Of Whitebird made
remarkable catch of a fly ball
left field, which came nes
precipitating him into the river, an
in the 9th inning for Grangevill'
Brooks no doubt made the cate
that saved Grangeville the gam'
consisting of high fly to left fiel
which compelled him to stand o
the brink of the Whitebird streaI
and reach for the ball which
was just able to do and which b
! assisted in double play.
Whitebird is to play Grangevil

one who has visited the town, except as
a transitory passenger to Dover. will re-
member the tulle factories where half the
inhabitants earn their living.
The history Of this trade IA curious
record. Fairly in the nineteenth century a
great deal Of English machine made lace
was smuggled into France. Once the
frontier was crossed the difficulty was
to give this lace a place Of origin which
would allow It to be freely sent about the
country.
In 1920 a smuggler solved this difficulty
by starting tulle mandatory in Calais.
where he marked his smuggled English
goods as Calais made and to keep up ap-
pearances did little manufacturing a.
well. But soon he found that the goods
he made we're more profitable than the

covered wall Of the house, and on examina-
tion found that II cameron a small glass
like pebble embedded In the wall,
Ho dug out the pebble with his penknife,
and took ii proudly to his father. Pho
pebble proved to be a valuable diamond,
the first fruits Of the rich store Of gems
which lay hidden under the farmers barren
acres.
Mr. De Beers sold his farm for 5000; the
Dutotspan, De Beers and Kimberley mines
revealed their treasures Of gems, and within
few years e5O,OOOOOO would not have
bought the farm. which before that lucky
discovery De Beers would gladly have sold
for few shiilings an acre.
An action at law which in some respects
resembles the Druce case is exciting much
attention In Madrid. few years ago the
death took place Of the Marquis de Campo
proprietor Of the transatlantic steamship
line known as Campos a Co., which ran q
service to the United States, the Philip
pines, Japan and India.
The Marquis left a fortune OF about
SIC, ,OOO, 900 and before dying made verbal
statement, which was taken down by a
notary, to the effect that his heir was a
natural son. This son subsequently took
possession Of his fathers title and his
money. The son being at the time under
age Sehor Macias, a gentleman Of excel
lent repute, was appointed trustee.
When the present Marquis entered into
possession Of his property two other claim
ants appeared on the scene, alleging that
they too were natural sons Of the late
Marquis do Campo. Actions took place In
France and Spain simultaneously, the case
being dismissed by the French authorities,
while the Spanish tribunal admitted the
demand for an inquiry,
Now the Marquis do Campo has de-
nounced his former trustee TO the tribunal,
accusing him Of oonniving with the alleged
sons and adding that the letters and
declarations are not only forgeries but
prove conspiracy between the trustee and
the claimants, who are, he asserts, Of French
nationality.
Counsel for the Marquis de Campo alleges
that a plot was conoocted in order TO rob
the rightful heir Of large portion Of his
inheritance. On the other hand Sehor
Nacias stated under examination by the
juge d'instruction that the proofs Of re-
lationship put forward are perfectly au-
thentio and affirmed that he had loyalty
administered the estate In the interests Of
the minor.
Many sensational disclosures are ex-
pected Like the old Duke OF Portland,
the Marquis de Campo was we'll known
for his eccentrioities. Once in Paris he
induced friend TO bleach his hair from
black to gray and then got him into trouble
with the police because the hair did not
ft the description given in the friends
passport. He was imprisoned as sus-
pected person, and 1t needed the Spanish
Ambassadors intervention before he could
be released.

Albrecht still remained devoted to the

Of the journey 10 Africa he was accom-
panied by the Baroness, and when he re-

As a further mark d his disapproval
Of the Princes association with the
Baroness, so II is stated, the Emperor has
now ordered the Prince to be dismissed
