BASE BALL SUNDAY.
Mountain Home Will Cross Bats
With Glenns Ferry.

For the second time this sea-
son Mountain Home and the
Ferry will meet on the diamond,
but owing to the unfortunate
fact that we have no ground
available, the second game, like
the first, will have to be played
away from home. The delega-
tion from here will leave town
on No. 2 Sunday morning, and
return on either No. 5 that af-
ternoon or on No. | the follow
ing morning. The last game
resulted in a victory for Noun
tain Home, but it is understood
that the Riverside boys have
been practicing on the quiet of
late and expect to show the To-
calls a thing or two about the
game tomorrow.

Answered the Question.

The chief clerk of the postoffics de-
partment at Washington sent to all
the postmasters in the country list Of
questions asking for certain informa-
ton, says the New York Sun, to be
used In the preparation Of the govern
ment blue book. One, Of the questions
In the list was, What are your mari
tai relationsT
The object of this particular question
was to find out whether the postmas-
ters are married, single, widowed or
divorced. But some of the rural post
masters did not understand, and many
answers were received in which the
persons addressed endeavored to give
clear and lucid explanation Of the
status of their married life. One post
master briefly stated that his domestic
affairs were fine and dandy" Another
not so fortunate replied. Fairly mid
ding" while third filled in the blank
space with two words, "The worst"

Clark-Colthorpe.

Wednesday occurred the we'd
ding of Frank Clark Of Glenns
Ferry and Miss Lillian Colthorpe
of this city. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. Mr..
Hermiston of the chapel car
"Emmanuel," who has been
conducting revival services in
the city for some time. Only
the immediate friends of the
young people were present at
the wedding, but there is a
large number of friends and
acquaintance both here and at
the Ferry, who will join with
the Republican in wishing the
young people a long life and
much happiness. Miss Col
thorpe was until a short time

Exclusiveness In Heaven.

The minister had dropped In to tea,
and the conversation had drifted
through various channels TO the ques-
tion of whether or not we should know
each other in heaven. Presuming that
our physical beings would be perpet-
uated and that recognition would be
assured, the minister had asked vari-
GUS ones at the table among whom the
Biblical characters they would be most
interested in recognizing. Some men
toned one prophet and some another,
but one lady, noted for her social ex-
clusiveness, had not spoken. Turn
ing to her. the minister said, "And who
would you like to meet In heaven, Mrs.
IntheswimT
Mrs. Intheswim pursed her lips. Il
really don't know" she said, "but
there is one thing do know, and that
is that shouldn't care to meet Eve. In
fact, don't know that would speak

BALL PLAYERS WILL
MEET EMMETT SOON
Games Scheduled for July 4 and S
Band May Go Up for the
Celebration and Game.

The Mountain Home ball
tossers have framed up a date
with the Emmett aggregation
for a double header meet on
July 4 and s. The Payette val
ley team has put up a purse of
$I00 in addition to the gate re-
ceipts as prize to the winning
team on the Fourth and the
gate receipts will 60 to the win
ming team on the following day.
While the local team has not
yet gone up against many hard
teams this season, the delega-
tion from here will go prepared
to put up a hard fight and will
try to get away with some of
the prize money. An effort is
being made by the Emmett
people to get the Mountain
Home band to go up for the
celebration, but up to the pres
ent time the band has come to
no decision in the matter.
The Emmett people have the
reputation of being frst-class
entertainers and those who go
are assured of a good time from
start to finish.

engineering problems much
larger than any that this COM
pany has hitherto undertaken,
the chief of which will be the
crossing of the Clover creek
and King Hill creek canyons
and it is far from being certain
that even this company, with
all the money that lies at its
disposal, could complete the
work.
However that may be, it is
certain that if such a plan is
carried out, the result to Noun
tain Home and the surrounding
country is beyond all magma
ton. 1t is an undisputed fact
that the land in this section is
far superior to any that this
company has at present under
it's system and if water is once
supplied to it in sufficient guam
tity, the future of Mountain
Home is assured. What dispos
sition would be made of the
Great Western Beet Sugar Co.,
the Clover Creek system and
the new projects near Medbury
in the event the big company
takes over the whole tract re-
mains to be seen, but presuma-
bly, they would be used as aux
iliary systems so far as they
have been completed.

PERSISTENT RUM0RS OF THE
TWIN FALLS NORTH SIDE
ELMORE EXTENSION
No Definite Information Available to Confirm
Report, But Much Evidence Offered to War
Conclusions surveying Parties Now Work
ing Westward From Bliss.

A possible solution of the wat
er problem at Mountain Home
and vicinity seems now at hand,
and judging from the enthusi-
asm with which the mere men
tion of that possibility is greet
ed on every hand, it is very ev-
ident that the moment that any
certainty can be felt regarding
the water supply for this pro-
ject, that moment will see the
end of dull times for Mountain
Home. While it cannot be stat
ed at the present time, with
any degree of certainty, that
the capitalists who are behind
the several Twin Falls projects
are actually contemplating any
extension of the Twin Falls
North Side canal, yet there is a
rapidly growing conviction in
the minds of those who are
watching the progress of events
that such is the case. They ar
que that this is the intention of
the Twin Falls people from the
fact that surveying parties are
at work within twenty miles of
Mountain Home, having been
gradually working thisway from
the present western limit of the
North Side canal. The con-
struction of such a canal, in
case it is attempted, will involve

at the Slick Bros construction
camp on the Malad river,
where the contractors are en-.
gagged in putting in a dam for
the King Hill project. The
report is that man was
drowned in the Malad while

we go after sportsmen. Merchants as

so after them specially.
