n of the state conventions be
held in Billings this year. 1t is a mat

which political party may extend this
recognition to our neighbor on the
west. The Billings papers are insist
ent that they be. given q republican
convention, but ii, is recalled that only
four years ago they were accorded
this honor by the republican organiza-
ton. 1t is understood that this year
the democrats contemplate holding

proper effort Billings may succeed in
capturing that.-Forsyth Journal.

R|vEROANGER|S
INCREASING

City Engineer Ralston last night
declared that the high water in
the river every year is becoming
higher and more dangerous, due
for one reason to the gradual de-
nuding of the Occur d'Alene for
ests and the gradual narrowing of
the river channel by filing in. The
river area now is only within 60
per cent of what it was formerly,
and the menace to the river front
on that account is yearly being
aggravated. In time 1t will be me-
cessary to take expensive meas
ures. High water came suddenly
last year, bringing destructive de-
bris with it. 1t was necessary to
keep men on duty watching bridges
day and night. Even with properly
built booms the danger of breaking
is imminent. He declared that it
would be necessary to guard the
North Howard st. bridge day and
night during high water until a
new one is built.

care to publish what data he has
until he formally submits it to the

ROBERT WAS
RIGHT THERE

1t surely can't be all luck. A
lucky man gets there without ap-
parent effort-but those boys won
against Tacoma with effort, hard,
funtiring sandy effort. And it
wasn't luck. 1t was work. Per-
haps the spirit of revenge was
upon them. Sometimes a man does
wonders in desperation. 1t was a
desperate lot of Indians fell upon
The Tigers and waIloped them aft
Yer Red Ehret pulled Capt. Hulen
put of the game for making un-
complimentary remarks about UNI
pires. That looked sad, for the
ginger was low, but 1t returned
and when 1t did Ike Butler was
sent to the cleaner.
Jack Killilay had one bad in
ming, the third, when Tacoma
scored four runs, with Hulen yell
Hng Keep diggin'." After that,
however, the closed sign was hung
lOn them by oJhnny. Until the
sixth inning Spokane hadn't got in
sight of run except when Bill
Hulen made a dive back to third
base and was called out and then
put out of the game for being
sassy. But in the sixth they start
ed. West, the new Twilight
aeaguer who is spelling Chandler
on third, connected for three sacks
and scored Kippert and Stevens.
Then a hit by McCarter scored
West. That was three. Neither
Side scored in the seventh. In the
eighth Spokane made it's fourth
tally in this wise: Kip put one
Into the air and Suess fell all over
1t. Kip was taking a daring chance
on Suess missing, so legged it to
second before the ball was fairly
caught, rather muffed as it turned
out. West put a long fly out to
ASuess and Kip got third on It..
The tie run was made by Kip. when
McCarter sent a fast one down the
third base line and Webb Morrow,
the City Lacquer with the Tigers,
stepped on his foot and couldn't
get to 1t In time to either get Kip
pert at the home plate or McCar-
ter, who was breaking a sprint
record toward first.
Killilay BANKED the Tigers In
their share of the ninth. Spokane
took its piece of the inning with
the score standing to 4 and it
was grim death stalking Tigers,
Clynes tried to rap the sphere into
b. c. but when 1t descended kid"
Lynch bagged it handily. Mackin
hunted one down to third base and
Webb Morrow fumbled it. That
put Mackin on first base and
James to bat. If a fan ever pulled
hard for hit there were hun
dreds pulling for one then. And
Bobby James rose right mighty to
the occasion by lining low fly
out between Lynch and Martinke
and beyond the reach of either. AL
most before anyone realized 1t lit
tie Mackin was headed for home
with the winning run and the game
was "ourn."
Roberts, City Lacquer. went to
first yesterday and Bobby James
bossed the field after Hulen was
''canned." Their work was 0. X.

Special Correspondence to The Press

BhlS lOL, 1Slu., July 40
uratively speaking Jimmie" Bur-
nett was the biggest man in Bris.
toll the other day. Practically the
whole town turned out to welcome
him home with his bride after a
romantic elopement.
Burnett, As inches tall, is the
smallest Lochinvar that ever came
out of the South. He is near to
being the nerviest.
His bride, formerly Miss Lou
Majors of Baldwin, Miss, 46
inches tall, is the daintiest, Ores
den china bit of femininity in all
the list of June brides. She weighs
less than so pounds.
Their acquaintance was the re.
suit of the publication of a picture
of Burnett in the uniform of an
Odd Fellow Miss Majors saw
the picture and in a spirit of ban
ter wrote him After several
months correspondence Burnett
surprised her one day by calling at
her home in BALDWIN.
1t was a case of love at first
sight.
The parents of the girl well
coined him cordially, regarding
the matter in the light of a joke.
1t wasn't until Burnett asked the
hand OF his lilliputian sweetheart
in marriage that they realized how
much in earnest the little fellow
was.
He met violent refusal and
was forbidden to see the girl
again. Not in the least discour-
aged, Burnett came home and
continued the correspondence
Finally Miss Majors agreed to an
elopement, which was planned in
every detail with unusual care.
1t is comparatively easy for
two ordinary people to elope, but
for pair of midgets it's quite a
different matter. Burnett appre-
ciated this and took precautions
accordingly. He enlisted the in
terest of certain railway officials,
engaged minister and arranged
for a license
Miss Nabors slipped away from
home one afternoon. went to the
depot, and when the train came
along stepped aboard. Burnett
was awaiting her and the railroad
men helped get the pair out OF
sight forthwith. At Meridian
Miss, they went direct to the
waiting minister and were mar
ried.
Burnett and his bride took the
return train to Baldwin to face
his w!fe's parents. He stated the
situation frankly, and, although
his reception was q warm one his
nerve won out. When he started
home with his bride he carried her
parents blessing,
