GOOD PROSPECTS
FOR. BASE BALL

1t now begins to look bright for the
base ball fans. The question Of
the national game for this year has
been hanging in the, balance for sew.
eral months until Friday night of
last week when c. r. Hickey was sue
cessful in getting an expression from
the business men i'm regard, to- the
proposition when they were in session
at the Protective Association rooms
of the postoffice building.
1t is not within the scope of the
Protective Association. to promote or
foster any enterprise or undertaking
of that kind, but as they were all to-
gether it was good opportunity to
get an expressions from Them as to
their desire in the matter of baseball.
Mr.. Hickey got an expression in re-
gard to the matter that justifes the
conclusion that base ball can be had
here this year.
In line with the expression thus
obtained there will be an active. cam
paign at once in regard to this matter.
There is to be grand mass meeting
for all fans and business men at the
Chamber of mComeree. rooms Wed
nesday evening of this week, Begin
ming at o'clock sharp. At that
meeting the proposition of base ball
will be discussed in detail. The matter
of board, of management will be
taken up and the class of ball will be
discussed.
1t is hoped to arrange for Class
&c" ball, which is the kind of base
ball included in the Intermountain
league last year.
Joe Marshall of Boise was here
Saturday to- discuss the matter of
base ball and Grant Lincoln of La
Grand was here also in regard -to~the |
same matter.
1t is the, plan of these men to have
league composed Of LaGrande,
Baker City, Nampa and Boise and it |
is reported that the prospects for such
a league are bright.
At the Wednesday evening meeting
all these matters will be discussed in
detail and the matter of a, new bail
ground will be taken up. 1t was set
tied last year that the present bali
grounds would not be used another
hat of new grounds.
All interested in the matter of base

FLOOD REPORTS
EXAGGERATED

Wednesday of last week the Ore
CONAN contained the following account
of the flood at Caldwell:
"Advices from Caldwell, Idaho, say
that the city is in danger of being
swept away tonight by the raging
waters of Indian creek, which has
suddenly overfowed it's banks and in
undated the entire city.
Already damage estimated at $780,
600 has been done and unless the
weather turns colder quickly the loss
of property will be doubled.
Main street, the principal thorough
fore, is three feet under water, while
Arthur street is a rushing river ten
feet in depth.
Many residents tonight are leaving
the city and seeking the hills for safe
ty while hundreds of persons are US
ing the second floor of their homes,
the lower floors being under water.
Late this afternoon R. H. Morrison
narrowly escaped death while attempt
ing to cross Arthur street. He was
swept away and saved only when a
bystander leaped into the swift cur
rent and swan with him to a house
standing in the path of the current.
The entire country around Caldwell
is under water and great loss to stock
men seems inevitable.
"Such is life in the far west"

The prospect for the local team to
retain the cup that it SO ably won last

dashes, pole vault and broad jump, and
Klousia led in the 44O yard dash. Fer
ris won the mile and half mile, Jerne-
a won the hurdles, and in the pole
vault and broad jump the locals had
things their own way.

Onavva, May "a second saloon IL
cense was granted here by the city
council to A. +. Hoffman, who will
open up in the room he formerly oc-
cupied before Jan. /. The deadlock
of the six councilnen was broken by
Mayor Pullen casting the deciding
vote in favor OF the granting of the
license. as he has been compelled ia
do in every instance on matters of
this kind.
The ordinance prohibiting card tables
in the billiard halls was also repealed
and they will be r~einstated. The mayor
was called upon to cast the deciding
vote in this case also. The three coun-
cilmen who were elected on moral
principles have stood their ground. but
are helpless in staving off the granting
of saloon licenses, so long as the mayor
is in control Of the situation.
The little town of Turin, east of
here, will also support a thirst parior
after Friday, as the council has grant
ed the license. This decision was not
reached until Onawa slid back into
