and to bring to their attention the crying
need for funds with which to complete
the magnificent enterprise, which is now
in its infancy.
Two Special Trains.
AAAE A1cAllAlAAbEE EAtELS arrived On lNB
special trains at Has o'clock yesterday
morning. one delegation came over the
Pennsylvania, thirteen cars being re-
quired to transport it. while the othez
came over the Baltimore and Ohio. and
sixteen cars were necessary. They were
specially chartered cars which conveyed
them to Grant avenue, where earryalls
were in waiting to take them to the
university grounds.
A large platform had been erected on
the college campus just to the south of
the College Of History. the only building
of the proposed group completed. The
stand was draped in bunting and Ameri-
can flags, and a portion of the Marine
Band gave musical selections.
President Roosevelt, chief speaker,
while devoting himself largely to the ad-
vance of Methodism. also took up his
race suicide theories and spoke in a most
eloquent manner.
The meeting was called to order at 8
o'clock by Rev. Franklin Hamilton,
chancellor Of the university. A moment
before he arose to speak, the President.
accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt. mounted
the steps leading to the stand.
The Marine Band played the Star
Spangled Banner" at the approach Of the
Chief Executive, but the strains were
almost drowned by the cheers and an
plause which greeted him, and the air
was a perfect sea Of waving hats and
handkerchiefs.

M'CAMMON FALLS VICTIM.
Twin Falls Adds Another to Long
String OF Victories.

Eight to four was the final result OF
a fast game played last Sunday on the
local grounds between McCammon and
Twin Falls The home team at first
seemed to be trifie awed by the repu-
tatiOn OF the visitors and failed to play
their usual game, but after few in
nings got into the game with such
vigor that poor McCammOn failed to
meet the pace.
The game by innings briefly, is as
follows:
For the Micks Evans was the only
man to draw a hit, while two men fell
prey to Bliss might. Twin Falls Holo-
han flew out to Chittier; Chaplin drew
a pass by hit on his Stats, stole sec
ond, made third on an error by Nashe
and scored on Farrell's single. Farrell
was called out for interfering with q
batted ball. Dauterman famed.
Edwards and Rice were thrown out
on infield hits for McCammon in the
second. Chittier made q triple and
scored on Chapin's muff Of Nashe' 8
strikeout. Twin Falls was retired
without score by Kiersted, Wingo and
Bliss on infiield hits.
The third brought no score to the
visitors, while for the locals Chaplin
reached first, stole second and finally
scored on Farrell's attempt to steal
second. Weaver was thrown out at
first.
Again In the fourth the Micks failed
to make good. For her part Twin Falls
made three on punched hits by kier-
sted, Wingo and Chaplin.
| In the fifth Twin Falls again scored
by hits, Hasson making the score by
running for Weaver.
The fireworks that woke up the NC
Cannon fans occurred In the sixth
when, after two men were out, Boyer
and Edwards played safe through
Wingos errors and we're brought home
by q long triple Of Rice's. which Far
rell failed to field promptly. Three
scores chalked up ON the board to-
Mac. Twin Falls made one more II
this inning.
McCammon failed to connect In thu
seventh; Twin Falls did likewise.
In the eighth neither scored and tn

in Cassla,

E. j. Hunter of Wallace, Idaho, one
OF the principal owners of the South
ern Hercules mine, located about 35

ported that work is progressing rapid
ly and that the shaft has been sunk to
depth Of ITO feet, passing through a
vein Of ore that is wider than the
shaft. On the 125-foot level eight feet
of good ore has been exposed that
runs 20 to 80 per cent lead, Is to rs
ounces In silver and $500 in gold to
the ton. 1t is the intention of the
company to install 5O-ton smelter
this fall and have it ready for reducing
ore as soon as 1t can be built. Mr..
Hunter Is accompanied by Thomas
Davies of Pocatello, who is also inter-
ested in the mine. Both gentlemen

property and say they have something
that will bear the closest inspection OF
those who are interested in mining.

1.-THE foreign commerce of the Pacific
Coast of South America already
amounts to $300,0O0.000 per annum. By
the time the Panama Canal is complet-
ed this will have grown to $500, 600, 900.
and after the canal is open it will in

One is the opinion of man whose
ability as a civil engineer stands above
reproach, and the other is the academic
opinion of a man who wants it to be
a success. You pays your money and
takes your choice.
1t will probably be made harder for
aliens to become citizens of the United
States after this. A bill has been intro

Here is the opinion held of our COM
mercial possibilities by a. canny Ger
man, who seems to know what he is
talking about. Heinrich Wollheim is
the German, and he halls from Berlin,
where he is largely interested in ship
building, chemical works, machine
shops and other industries of Germany.
1T is conceded by the people of all
European Nations that America is the
only Nation they have to fear COM
mercialiy.' said Mr.. Wollheim. THE
United States produces the finest tools
in the world. and there is evident a
gradual improvement i'm all lines of
manufactures that are shipped into Eu-
rope; but the Americans have not yet
learned that genius is the faculty OF
taking infinite pains They make ex-
cellent goods in many instances. and the
style of their manufactures is attrac-
tive. but too frequently the manufac-
tured articles from America are poorly
made. A few years aso the United
States had an opportunity to get the
bicycle trade of Europe. The Euro
peans. and particularly the Germans,
took a great fancy to American-m made

was discovered that the bicycles did not

One wonders sometimes what 1t i5
that makes people hesitate to do the
right thing, when they know 1t Is right
TO do it and imperative that 1t shall be

files he says, Zig precarious In the ex-
treme. In many Instances they occupy
space which is fire auented by the pub
lie and are unprotected from depreda-
ton. Some of them are stored in rented
buildings, which are not fireproof and
are liable at any moment to be Destroy
ed by fire. All the available space in
the different buildings under the con.
troll of the Government IS now occu-
pied. While these files. are uncurrent,
it must be borne in mind that reference
is made to them almost constantly; that
in most instances they pertain to ques-
tions of great Importance: that they
have been accommodating since the or
ganiZation of the Government. and that
their destruction by fire would cause al
most irreparable injury. confusion and
delay in the transaction of public busi-
ness. 1t is therefore absolutely neces-
sary that sufficient space be provided
to assemble them in such manner that
they be ready of access. They are now
inaccessible for reference, except with
great labor"
Now, every man of any sense or judg-
ment knows that those records should
be housed in as nearly fireproof
building as it is possible to have. The
loss to the Government in case of fire
would be irreparab,e. And little fires
are found in one corner or another of
the old rubbish cellars of these old
buildings every little while. Why on
earth isn't it better to be wise in time,
and erect a suitable building to hold
these precious documents?

at Washington the Sentimgnt between
the two countries was marked by an
increasing mutual sympathy. of which
Minister Takahira was 1the foremost ex-
ponent, but after the news of the Russo
Japanese peace terms was published in
Japan in 1905 there arose among the
japanese a wave of aYTti-Anerican sem
timent, with the belief that this eoun-
try had urged upon Japan unfavorable
terms.
1t was thought, and the departing
Minister admitted, that 1t was unlikely.
despite his success and popularity here,
that he would ever return.
Kogoro Takahira personally is a re-
markable man. aside from his diplo-
matte record He is Of the1short, slen-
der Japanese type, with stopped Shoul-
ders. His tastes and recreations are all
literary. student not only of Japan
ese and Chinese, he has mastered the
literature of most of the countries in
which he has sojourned. He married
Kiyo Nishiyama, of Toxic. in 1887. His
wife was one of the earliest women
graduates of the European schools in
Japan. She was one of the first Japan
ese women, likewise. to become known
in society abroad as Europeanized

There is yet living in Ohio a most re-

tion is planning to bring Gen. Eckley
to Washington to revisit old scenes re-

He has lived under the Administra-

first vote when Jackson was a candi-
date for President, and has never miss

was all about. Later on, when Napo-

Gen Eckley has seen every Presiden,

campaigns of William Henry Harrison
in 1886 and 1910. When Harrison spoke
at Carrollton in 1888 he was entertained
by Gen. Eckley, and had Harrison lived
to complete his term he might have
given the young lawyer an appoint

Eckley aided in the election of the
