Charges Against the County
Commissioners

The Free Press of Grangeville last
week brought out two serious charges
against the present board Of commits
sioners of Idaho county. The paper
charges that the board let a contract to
build road for a thousand dollars, be-
tween Sites and Kooslzia, and that the
road cost the county finally six thous-
and dollars, the five thousand dollars
being accounted for by small vouchers
indefinitely termed labor, sup
plies" etc. Another charge is that
the forest reserve money due Idaho
county for the roads last year amounted
to over SIS, 900, that the commissioners
made use of only about 81, 900 Of the
money, and that the balance, 81, 900.
not being used within the year, re-
verted TO the government. The Free
Press makes a yelled assertion that this
sum Of money due from the govern
ment to the county was not made use
Of because by making use Of it sections
Of the county would have been receiv-
ing benefit which the commissioners did
not want to receive a benefit.
This paper withholds opinion until it
is better informed on the matter, and
it is likely that great number Of citi-
zens Of the county are acting along that
same plan. The charges are 50 bold
and open that an explanation should be
forthcoming from at least one Of the
accused. The public should be given
both sides Of the matter. and if a wrong
has been perpetrated by the commits
sioners it should be shown whether it
was through incompetency or graft and
the party at fault should be pointed
out.

Enjoyed Trip
To ELK City
Mrs Cox Says She Prefers
Trip Here to One in Vel

Il enjoyed every minute Of my visit
to Elk City, said Mrs. Phoebe B. Cox
OF Hotel 22s in Spokane on her return
from Elk City to Spokane on May "A in
an interview with the Spokesman-Re-
view. 81 would not have missed the
trip for the world. The scenery is
superb. / don't believe it is possible to
see a more beautiful view anywhere
than that Of Camas prairie from near
the switchback, on the road to the
Mountain house. never saw such a
profusi0n Of flowers, some of them
peeping out from the snow We encount-
cred near the summit. If they only
had good roads, would sooner make
the trip than to tour the Yellowstone
park. AS it is, | intend going back in
July
There is not a particle of danger
and very little discomfort. Its only
drawback is the length of time it takes.
The stage drivers are the most courte-
GUS and careful / ever met, and the
meals served at the roadhouses were a
genuine surprise &c me. Everybody
was very kind, and / never had a better
time in my life.

Of my Independence group, adjoining
the American Flag, on Red river, and
about two miles from the American
Eagle mine. ] visited it last Sunday

BASEBALL SQUAD SMALL.
Michigan Drops Seven Men From Its
Baseball Ranks,

Ann Arbor. Jan. 21.-By virtue of
the biggest and most wholesale house
cleaning ever witnessed at the Uni
versity of Michigan the Wolverines
chances for winning baseball team
were rudely shattered this week. Fol-
lowing the discovery that several Of
the members OF last years team had
played professional baseball last sum-
mer. the announcement was made
that not only those men who had
played on the team last season, but
any others who had engaged i'm sum-
mer baseball, would be barred from
the team. The list of men included
i'm the wholesale disqualification is
Fountain. shortstop; Banding. Dean
and Smith, pitchers; Bricker and
Murlin. inflclders. and Centllvre,
outfielder. AS result the baseball
prospects have gone glimmering.

FIGHT PROMOTERS ARE
STILL In A QUANDARY

SALT Lake City. Utah. Jan. 21.-The
pusilistic pct is still boiling. TEX"
hlckard stirred it up a little more
wednesday by declaring that he had
messages from both Jeffries and John
son to the effect that he CRickard)
had the say where the bout should be
held.
Johnson in his telegram explained
that as Richard was the man with
the money he certainly had the right
to name the place, and as for himself
he did not care whether the bout
would be held in Utah, California or
the Pacific Ocean, so long as Jeffries
showed up at the appointed hour i'm
the best OF trim and ready for the go.
Jenries was little more conserva-
tive in his expression, according to
Richard, but from the tenor of the
dispatch 1t was gathered that the re-
tired champion was just as willing
To fight in Utah as in California. This,
however, did not seem to ring true to
the fight fans. as Jeffries previously
had been quoted as saying that San
Francisco was the place for him from
start to finish
1t seems that Johnson and his man
ager, George Little are not i'm accord
as to the final arrangements. Little
has announced that the fight will be
held at San Francisco and that he
was willing to wager some money on
that He has claimed that Ocean
view has already been selected as the
spot for the big mill and that every
thing was settled. Then again comes
the report from the coast city stating
that the fight will be held inside the
city limits, all of which does not tend
TO clarity the situation.

WOULD COUNT BASES MADE
INSTEAD OF RUNS SCORED

Many new systems for scoring base
ball games have been from time TO
time presented for the consideration
Of the rule makers. While some Of
them have had more features, the
authorities are inclined to stick to the
old system with slight changes.
Louis r. Gemmett of st. Paul
Mimi, who calls himself the "inven-
tor of reality baseball" is the latest
i'm the field with a new system. 1t
is the most radical change yet sug-
gestcd Mr. Gemmetts idea is that
the number of bases made by team
should be counted instead of the num-
Der of runs. In a communication to
the New York World he says:
"The following is the way to keep
official score i'm Reality Baseball: Each
base will count base. Four bases TO
the score. The side that makes the
most bases at the end of the game
wins. Allow credit when due. out
on first base. no base made out on
second base. one bas that will count.
out on third base two bases will
count. Out on home base. three bases
will count. Makes it Intelligent. All
around. one full score will count, for
which they will receive credit on the
score board. Left on bases, it will all
count according to the base the play
er is left on All bases will count
after they are made on the score
board.
"The old System: How four bases
can beat los i'm nine innings on one
side the first man to bat makes first
base, second, third, put out on home;
second man the same, fill the bases.
Third man strikes out. You will find
IL bases made. Nine innings is the
game. Nine times II is los. on the
other side one man makes first Sec
ond. third and home, four bases, and
they should beat los bases. In the
new system the side that makes the
most bases in nine innings wins the
game. Four bases Is regarded the same
as full score. Two halves is a full
score in Reality Baseball. Each base
counts a base"

KELLY is AFTER KETCHEL.
Chicago Italian Would Follow the
Elimination Plan.

Hugo Kelly. Chcago's clever middle
weight candidate for the champion
ship, has suggested an elimination
plan for the promoters at Memphis to
pursue. He has advised Matchmaker
Tommy Ryan that he would like to
battle any man he may pick out,
Frank Mantel or Frank Klaus of Pitts
burg preferred, the winner of such a
match to meet the winner of the
Ketchel- Caponi match there on Febru-
airy %.
Kelly now back in good health, is
anxious TO get an introduction to the
south and thinks he can get many
matches there if he once shows the
Memphis fans what he can do He is
open TO box any of them and asked
Ryan to put him on with Ketchel right
at the start. But this was thought in

AMERICAN TRAINER MEETS
SUCCESS ON GERMAN TURF
Racing Statistics Show That
Trainer Walker Cleaned Up
100000 Marks.
PREJUDICE HAS DEVELOPED

Memphis. Tenn, Jan. 21-What is
believed to be an international record
for successful training of thorough
bred race horses has been made in
Germany, according to statistics just
arriving in this country, and shows
an American in possession of the
rather remarkable achievement of hav-
ing prepared horses that have won
100000 marks i'm six seasons of cam
paigning on the German and Austrian
race courses.
This credit belongs to George Walk
er, who has just returned to his home
i'm Memphis after winning almost
every turf classic in Germany i'm the
course of six years. The German sta =
tistics show Walker trained horses in
possession of 100000 marks, but
Walkers own record places the total
at the lower figures named.
Two triumphs in the German Derby
a pair OF victories in the Grand Prix
of Baden and two Futurities of the
German turf, were won by Walker In
the course of his work for the Vein
berg brothers. Such valuable prizes
as the kaiser's shield Ca trophy off
cred by the German emperor) and
other classics were won, and American
turfmen may marvel at the figures
when, as the German statistics show
there is but n short season on the
German turf. rarely extending to more
than a total Of 65 racing days in a
year, making Walkers operations ex-
tend over but a possible 800 days In
six years.
Walker has a trophy room well sup
piled here with silver cups. tea sets
plates and other souvenirs awarded
by sentimental Germans to the trainer
of the successful horse.
Walker was the first American Ia
win n German Derby. with FEELS he
won the German Derby of 1906, and
repeated i'm 1907 with Desr American
jockeys and American assistants in
almost every respect shared in Walk
er's success, as Willie Shaw had the
mount on Desir while Winnie OCon-
nor piloted FEELS.
The wonderful record made by the
Americans has not been attained i'm
Germany. however. without the usual
results. According to information
reaching here, the same prejudice
that existed i'm the days of the British
turf when Tod Sloan and other Am
crican Jockeys and trainers were reap
ing golden harvests, has cropped out
in the kaiserland. and so great is
the feeling against the Yankee inva-
sion that Walker may not return to
Germany another season.
