McCarter looks like the logical
choice and the favorite. His original
weight was 1l3 pounds. but he picks
up a penalty OF four pounds for win

should not stop him.
Superman looks the dangerous con.

he carried l26 pounds. He will carry
1879 pounds in tomorrow's big race and

The western clubs OF the American
league have buried the Ratchet for
the time being and will today begin a
mighty. concerted effort TO pull down
the Athletics and New York from their
present elevated positions in the
standings. On the side there VIII
also be a demonstration designed to
still further confirm Boston ana
Washington ia the tail-end role.
When the clash is oveS we Will
know a lot more about the pennant
prospects OF the Tigers and others.
OF recent years the American
league has seemingly strengthened
much more In the west than m the
east. The western cluba have been
making better and better campaigns
each season and last year one OF them
won the pennant, while two others
finished third and fourth.
This year the one western club that
Inhabited the second division has
been holding it's own with the other
three In the annual spring throat-cut-
ting and promises to be Just as form
liable as any OF them in the eastern
campaign.
II looks as II the eastern clubs will
be hard put TO II TO hold the west
even, even though playing on their
own grounds.
Whether or not the western hosts
succeed In pulling down New YORK
and the Athletics, all four OF them
ought TO show all the class at Bos-
ton and Washington. Both these
clubs made disappointing finishes last
season and both have changed their
lineup very materially. Both have
vgry competent battery members,
Boston relying on Young. Winter.
Burchell Cicotte and Morgan, while
Washington Is strong too. with
Hughes, Smith. : Falkenprg. Gates,
Burns and Patten. The rank and file
OF each team is prone to- panic. how

from Arizona and Will
Push Work

Mr.. and Mrs. Fred w. Brassler
returned Saturday from two
months visit in Arizona. They
have purchased the c. r. Rand
ranch located two and one-half miles
from Boise and expect to make
their home there in the future.
Both are greatly pleased with their
trip but were glad to return to this
city.
Mr. Brassler is manager of the
Brasslcr gold mine located at
RockyB ar and when seen by a re-
porter of the Capital News this
morning stated that he intended
Immediately to open up the mine
and start to handling ore. He
states that the company behind the
mine is in excellent financial con-
dition regardless of the money
stringency and that they intend
to go ahead with the workings on
larger scale than ever before.
During the winter but two men
have been employed at Rocky Bar
watching the property and no at
tempt has teen made to mine. Mr..
Brasslcr will take over the manage
ment the remainder of the season.
In speaking of his Arizona trip,
Mr.. Brassler said: During our
visit at Wickesburg, Ariz., we
found the climate delightful and
more like Southern California than
any place | have ever been. During
the two coldcst months of the win
ter, December and January the cli-
mate of Arizona reminded me very
much of the weather we have in
Boise in Sepember. 1t was just as
warm as summer and we certainly
enjoyed it.
There seems to be a general
boom OIL in the territory and while
it is not very attractive outside of
the larger cities, still it is dcs-

ericans. The land is desert with
nothing but sagebrush and prickly

WILL VISIT
IDAHO MASONS
Grand Master WhiiweII to Make Off
CiaI Trip to Lodges in
This State.

BOISE, March 2.-Dr w. C.
Whitewell of Salmon City, who
came to Boise several days ago to at
tend the meeting of the democratic
state central committee, will leave
today for Nampa. The doctor is
grand master of the Idaho Masons
and will pay an offici al visit to the
lodge at Nampa this evening and
afterwards visit number vf other
1odes int he state before returning
to his home. From Nampa he will
go to c ldwell, Parma, Payette and
Weiser in turn, and will then visit
lodges in southeastern part of the
state, including those in all the
towns along the Short Line between
Nampa and Pocatello.
Speaking of his official duties
last night at the Idanha DR.. Whit
well said that there are now As or
46 Masonic lodges in the state and
he would visit all of them before
his term as grand master expires
September 8, when the grand lodge
will meet again There has been
a Maosnic grand lodge in Idaho for
Al years, he said, and there are now
over $500 affiliated Master Masons
in the state. The doctor has been
a Mason for 80 years, having joined
the order in Linden, Tenn, in
1875.
During his talk the doc or men,
toned the interesting fact that
Jonas Brown, one of Boise's pion-
GERS and now living in the city,
was the second grand master of Ida
no Masons, and that during his
term the question was put to him
as to whether saloon men could be-
come Masons. He ruled that no
saloon man should enter into the
secrets of Free Maosnry and his rul-
ing was confirmed by the next ses-
snon of the grand lodge and has ever
since been rigidly observed.
