ROAD MATTER
Road Supervisor Nye and Lee Olson
Talk Road Matters

At the request of residents of the
Horse Island section special meeting
of the commercial club was held Thurs
day evening. Mr.. Nye said settlers
were fencing the roads, throwing
travellers over almost impossible places.
In one instance he had cut fences, but
they were Immediately closed again,
and the parties had been notified they
would be liable to a fine of $40 for every
day the road was closed. Mr.. Nye
stated that he had fenced about ten
rods of the road, but there was a good
roadway around his fence. In order
not to furnish an excuse for others,
however, he announced that he would
at once remove his fence. 1t was de-
cided to refer the matter of closing the
roads to the county attorney.
Mr.. Olsen stated unless conditions
were improved Horse Island people
could not come to Amsrican Falls with
out going to Bannock section house to
get started this way, which would
make Pocatello nearer them than
American Falls. Dams in the Bannock
made the road impossible during the
high water season. A roadway had
been opened near the bluff but that
was boggy, and would require about
mile of grading to make it passable.
The water in places is now deep enough
to swim horse. The trouble is brought
about by new settlers fencing up roads
which have been travelled since the
early settlement of the country.

A Mass Meeting at Igo.

The largest gathering of the dry
farmers living around Igo, that has
ever been assembled at any one time,
was collected at the Igo school house
last Monday evening, to discuss the
cutting of Mr.. Coon's fence by the road
overseer.
The dry farmers living out there petit
toned the county commissioners a year
ago to make all sections lines roads; to
create new road district: to grant
them road overseer, and to make ap-
preparations for bridges, tools, etc.
This was granted.
Things were running smoothly, but
the bone of contention was unearthed
when Messrs. Clyse. Coon and Nye be-
gan fencing across one of the old trail
roads, that the people living over on
Horse Island have been in the habit of
travelling for the past fifty years.

BIGGEST LAND SALE
IS YET TO COME
Will Be Held Here Before End
Of the Year.
Holders of Leases on Many Thousands
of Acres, Desiring to Make Per-
manent Homes, Will Ask That
Lands Be Put on Sale.

Unless events change their trend the
biggest sale of state lands ever held in
the state will take place at American
Falls next fall. For several months
past the state has been leasing lands in
Oneida, Blaine and Bingham counties
near American Falls, and the percent
age of lands so leased, compared to
other forms of acquiring title, is stead
lily increasing. Early last winter the
lands leased were in excess of 10000
acres, which is now only small part
OF the acreage so held. For the most
part those acquiring leases are people
OF means who desire to acquire title as
quickly as possible in order that they
may establish permanent homes and
erect substantial buildings, and with
this object in view will ask the state to
place the land on sale.
In addition to sections 16 and 36 in
every township the state is given the
privilege of selecting any unappropri-
ated lands in lieu of those included
within forest reserves. The state lard
board will apply to the government for
title upon request of anyone desiring to
lease any tract of land, and execute a
lease, subject to sale, when patent is
sues. People who have exhausted all
their rights to acquire government
land are active in leasing, obligating
themselves to bid $40 per acre for
the land when it is offered for sale.
The terms of the state are most liberal.
Realizing that prices will steadily ad-
vance those holding leases are desirous
of acquiring title as early as possible.

6OOD BLUESTEM
WHEAT COUNTRY
J ashington Man is Impressed
With This Section.
Predicts That it Will Develop Into One
Of the Greatest Bluestem Wheat
Countries of the Northwest
Higher Prices to Prevail

5. Manning, substantial citizen of
Colfax, Washington, has been here for
several days looking over the country
He comes from county which last
year produced 16,O00,O 900 bushels of
wheat, and is considered an authority
on matters pertaining to the growing
and marketing of wheat. After spend
ing several days investigating the soil
and studying the climate he has con-
cluded that this will develop into one
of the greatest bluestem wheat belts of
the northwest. Our wheat, he says, is
superior for flour making, and if it's
quality is maintained it will be in de-
mand for export, and will consequently
command top prices.
Mr.. Manning predicts that bluestem
will sell at threshing time for 81 a
bushel and other varieties for not less
than 80 cents. This is quite an advance
over prices usually prevailing in the
early fall, and if they are realized it
will mean much for wheat growers.
Mr.. Manning bases his prediction of
high prices upon the fact that there is
scarcely shipload of available wheat
In the entire northwest. A recent or
der for fifty tons took about all the
wheat in Portland, the greatest wheat
market in the west.
Mr.. Manning was accompanied by E.
E. Earring of Walla Walla. Mr.. Earring
was here about three weeks ago and
became enthusiastic over the country.
He is more so on his second trip and
will establish his residence here next
fall.

IDAHO HONORED AT FAIR
Governor Brady Visits Warships and
is Royalty Entertained.

A special dispatch to the Statesman
from Seattle, June 2, says:
I The visit of Governor j. H. Brady
and staff of Idaho to Rear Admiral
Uriel Sebree of the United States Paci-
| fic fleet, on board the cruiser Tennessee,
and Rear Admiral H. Ijichi of the Jap
anese fleet, on board the Aso, was the
feature of the morning among the
cruisers in the harbor. Resplendent in
uniforms decorated with gold lace, the
Idaho party arrived in automobiles at
the foot of Madison street after 9:3O
O'Clock this morning. Governor Brady,
who was easily distinguished by his
lack of uniform, was greeted by Rear
Admiral E. B. Berry, and in three
launches they went aboard the Ten
nessee, the party including the wives
of the staff members and other promi-
nent citizens of Idaho They were
pleasantly entertained on board the
Tennessee for half an hour, when the
governor and staff, accompanied by
Lieutenant Homes, left in the launch
for the Aso, to greet Admiral Ijichi.
The officers of the Japanese flagship
were on the lookout at the starboard
gangplank, the marines forming in line
beside the plank and the officers taking
position along the rail. AS the COVER
nor and staff started up the plank the
band played "Star Spangled Banner"
Admiral Ijichi made his appearance
at the head of the plank and with
cordial grasp of the hand greeted the
various Idaho men, who were intro
duced by Lieutenant Holmes. The
marines presented arms and Governor
Brady and Admiral Ijichi led the staff
to the latter's quarters, where there
was an exchange of courtesies. They
escorted the visitors through the entire
warship, explaining thoroughly the
guns, their mechanism and the way in
which their men-of-war are manned.
Before leaving the warship the men,
bers of the party were presented with
appropriate souvenirs. AS the party
was leaving the Aso the highest possi-
Bile honor was paid to Governor Brady,
a salute of IT guns being fired. The
party then returned to the Hotel Wash
ington, where Admiral Ijichi returned
the compliment to Governor Brady
with an official call. This evening at
6:30 Governor Brady, at Hotel Wash
ington, entertained at dinner his staff,
the Idaho state commissioners, the
hostesses and all connected with the
Idaho section of the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition.

GREAT BASEBALL GAME
American Falls and Pocatello Play
League Ball.

The best ball game ever seen in
American Falls was played Monday by
the American Falls and Pocatello
academy teams, the score being 8 to 2
In favor of American Falls in a twelve
inning game. This is the second game
our boys have won this season, and they
are justly elated. Altmyer pitched
both the winning games, his first ap-
pearance with the team this year.
The feature of the game was the
pitching on both sides. Altmyer and
Kinney had almost perfect control,
neither walking man and only one
man being hit, that being Olmstead,
who was hit in the arm by Altmeyer.
The fielding was also good on both
sides. The lineup was as follows:
American Falls-West, Thompson,
catcher; Altmeyer, pitcher; Esau, first
base; Evans, second base; White, third
base; Talcotte, short stop; Reed, left
field; Oliver, center field; Thompson,
West, right field.
Pocatello-A Allen, catcher; Kinney.
pitcher; Olmstead, first base; Bistline,
second base; Derham, third base;
Goodwin, short stop; Kessinger, left
field; Higson, center field; KrolI, Kir-
kendall, right field.
Summary.
Earned runs, Pocatello /; hit by

The Pocatello Tribune has the follow
ing to say about the game, which is not
exactly as our boys view it:
The game was fast enough to be
credit to any major league, it going
twelve innings, and then the winning
run was made on bad decision by the
umpire, or the game would no doubt
have gone much futher.

Of the baseball season, fans in all
sections of the country are now pick
ing the winners, and it is in only one
or two leagues that The winner is MOI
practically known already.
In the National it seems certain
that the fast Pittshurg club will
again take the rag. 1t has been soy
eral years since the Pirates have
landed the flag and they are anxious
to see it fly over their handsome new
ball grounds. Nothing but d serious
baekset on the part of Pitts burg. and
a phenomenal run by Chicago can
change the result in this league The
Cubs climbed uncomfortable close to
the leaders few weeks ago. but
when New York went to Chicago and
took four straights the team was
given great setback and baseball
experts do not expect the would
champions again to get within strik-
ing distance Of the leaders.
In the American league the race
is yet in doubt. Philadelphia, by a
hard, uphill fight has taken the lead
Int is only a few points ahead of
those Detroit Tigers. Philadelphia is
going good at present, but Detroit is
too close to make the race look any
thing like a certainty. and many be-
lieve that Detroit will again come
out ahead. Boston, it must be re-
membered. has been playing consis.
tent ball all of the season and must
be counted in the race The team
is practically an unknown one. but
they have been keeping near The top
during the entire season and is now
within one or two games of the lead
ers. The finish of this race prom
ises to be interesting.
In the Southern league Atlanta
within the past two weeks, has grad
ually drawn away from her nearest
rival-Nashyille and now has good
lead over Nashville as Pittsburg has
over Chicago. Atlanta is still going
good, with all of her pitchers in ex-
cellent shape, and it looks like the
Georgia team is sure winner, with
Nashville and New Orleans fighting
it out for second place.
In the Sally league three teams
are changing positions every day
Chattanooga, Augusta and Savannah

indication pointing to the Lookouts.
Both Augusta and Savannah are play
Ing good ball, but it is generally ac-
knowledged that Chattanooga easily
has the best team in the league. Even
II one of the other teams should win
they would have to play q series with
Chattanooga to decide the race. as

race the first half of the season.
