MT. IDAHO BALL TEAM WINS
Boys Are Loud In Their Praise
of Treatment

Vollmer's big two-day celebra-
ton was a big success according to
the boys who made up the ball team
from Mt. Idaho, who are loud in
their praise Of the treatment re-
ceived at this growing town on the
Grangeville extention Of the North
ern Pacific. The first day Of the
celebration was given over to small
sports in the morning and early
afternoon. A hotly contested ball
game in the afternoon between Mt.
Idaho Juniors and q team from
Woodside provided the excellent
entertainment from four O'Clock
on. G. and E. Moses did excellent
work with the stick. The game
was won by the Mt. Idaho team by
score of Is to 10. In the even
ing there was . big dance at the
bowery which was we'll attended;
also q dance at the public hall.
On the morning of the Fourth

small sports we're held, the ring
tournament, one Of the forms of
amusement afforded, being very
popular. This was followed by the
ball game between Mt. Idaho and

G. Moses occupied the pitchers box
but being unable to hold out, that
position was played during the re-
mainder of the game by G. w.

In the ninth inning Mt. Idaho
tied score and had q runner on

which are industriously engaged
in clamorous denunciation of Mr.,

the policies first advocated by the

To The Democrats of Idaho
County.

To The Democrats of Idaho
County.
Knowing that the position Of
the democrats who have been,
and are, opposing the domination
of our party by the, would. be,
party boss. Fred r. Dubois, has
been and is now being misrepresen-
ted by the followers of said boss,
some OF us who have been active
in such opposition, deem it proper
and necessary to fairly and fully
state our position.
The Duboisites have been try
ing to hide behind the Mormon
question and make it appear that
we were hired and bought by
Mormon money, that our efforts
to save the democratic party from
wreck and ruin by the high
handed methods of Dubois, were
prompted by the use of Mormon
money and influences. A charge
which they know is too absurd
and false to merit reply, but lie
used by them because, and simply
because they have no defense aud
can make no excuse for the high
handed, arbitrary undemocratic
and dishonest methods resorted to
by Dubois, their would-be party
boss.
Onr position is this: We be.
ieve there was no necessity or ex-
cuse for introducing this agitation
into our platform and into our
campaign of four years ago and
causing this dissention and divisi-
on in our party, because we do not
believe there has been any new
polygamy to warrent it in Idaho
since the Manifesto, issued by the
Mormon church in 1890, when they
gave up polygamy as q tenet OF
their religion. But since, as q re-
suit of two campaigns in which
said agitation has been declared
by Dubois to be the only issue, q
large number Of good democrats
have been led to believe that there
10 something in the so-called issue,
and think we ought not now give
: u up, we are therefore willing to
have our platform this year con.

HEARING IN RATE
CASE CONTINUES

Winston-Salem N. c., June 5.-Today's
hearing of the rate case of the state cor
poration commission against the Nor
folk and Western Southern railway and
Seaboard Air Line, for alleged discrim-
ination in rates on western freight in
favor of Virginia cities, before Special
Examiner Brown of the interstate COM
merce commission was consumed in the
cross-examination of T. S. Davant vice
president of the Norfolk and Western.
The witness admitted that grain from
Cincinnati is hauled for mills per ton
mile to Virginia points, while Winston
Salem pays 3 cents per ton mile from
Roanoke, Va, to which place Cincinnati
and Virginia rate of IL cents is allowed.
Mr.. Davant claimed that this rate had
been established by competition and not
made by his road.
Other instances were brought out where
the rate to North Carolina points is con-
siderably higher than to Virginia cities,
while the distance to the latter is greater.
