THIS MAN A HERO.

Wellston, O., May l2.-Realizing
that he had at best only an even
chance to save his life, and that to
desert his dynamite wagon, when his
mules became frightened and ran
away, might entail the loss of many
lives besides his own James Shipley
is proved hero Thursday.
Shipley was driving his team to
Glenn Mill with load of giant
blasting powder and dynamite, and
his mules became frightened at a
train while passing through Wellston.
The wagon swaying from side to
side, jolting the contents something
foot in the air, the team dashed
dewn the main street of Wellston.
shortly after noon Thursday.
Shouting warning which quickly
cleared the streets and sent the peo-
pie scurrying to clear places in town,
Shipley struck to his wagon and sue
ceeded in stopping his team a half
mile ontside of town.

Praises Parma Exhibition

In an article about the Parma pre-
cinct fair held Friday, the Boise States
man has the following to say:
"Tne fair at Parma this year was a
surprise. No one had an idea that such
magnificent display could he MADE
The fruit exhibit consisted Of apples,
pears, grapes and Strawberries, while
the agricultural products consisted Of
melons, pumpkins, potatoes. tomatoes,
in fact, any variety Of the vegetable
kingdom that can be grown in the tenn
perate zone. Two melons on exhibition
tipped the scales at AZ and 40 pounds
each. These melons were grown on one
vine and came from one seed. There
were nine varieties OF corn. From one
kernel OF corn four stocks were grown,
each bearing two ears fully matured.
These are but few Of the many pro-
ducts to be seen at the precinct fair.
"Parma is fast gaining a statewide
reputation as horse and cattle breed
ing section. Some sections may hav'
more horses but none can show better
Two six-months-old colts were on exhi
bition and weighed 900 and 925 pounds
The benefits resulting from the 1917
precinct fair will be fully realized in tn
fair to be held one year from now
There will be a larger and better exhi
bition Of the products of the soil and OF
chards than ever before"

M0cRATS FORM
COUNTY PLATFORM
County Central Committee
Makes Issue Of Tax Rate and
County Expenses.


The Democratic county central com
mittee met Thursday in Caldwell ior the
purpose Of adopting platform and fill
ing any vacancies on the ticket. John
Seawell of Payette acted as chairman
and G. w. WbifIin secretary. On mo-
tion committee of five was appointed
on platform and committee OF three,
whose duty it was to fix the rate of as
sessment for the candidates.
The committee on platform reported
the following as the platform for the
Canyon county Democracy:
We. the Democrats of Canyon county,
in committee assembled this Goth day
of September, 1910, heartily indorse the
Democratic state platform adopted at
Boise on the 10th day OF September,
1910.
We call attention to the fact that our
| platform has but one meaning in each
and every paragraph, while that OF the
Republican party is equivocal. indefinite
and misleading.
We favor the enactment of such legis.
lation as will insure the people of Idaho
the construction and maintenance OF
good roads.
We favor the enactment OF reason.
able and just trespass law.
Notwithstanding the expenditure Of
100000 by the Republican party
raised by the sale OF funding bonds dur.
ing the past two years, Canyon county
is still indebted for the expenses Of
county government in the further sum
of $82, 900; and we condemn such ex-
travagance and pledge our ce ndidates
TOR county commissioners to a more
economic expenditure OF tho peoples
money. We call attention to the fur
ther fact that our county and state as.
sessment has increased from 81 65 pc,
800 to $3.50 during the past year. and
this in face Of the fact that the assessed
valuation has been enormously in.

Up to the Merchants

The newspapers may howl until
doomsday their sentimental cries against
the mail order houses, and in favor Of
the home dealer, and the effect will be
imperceptible. The only persons who
can really do effective work are the To-
cal merchants themselves, and they can
do it only by pursuing the methods oi
the mail order houses, and that is to let
themselves and their goods be known to
the buyer through judicious and eff
cacious advertising. 1t can be done in
this way and no other er-Caldwell News

ATHLETICS, TRAINING CAMP.
Worlds Champions VIII Probably &C
to Savannah, Ga.

To seek location for a spring train
ing camp for the worlds champions
for the coming season, Capt. Harry
Davis and Secretary John D. Sllibe of
the Athletics have gone to Savannah,
Ga, where they will look over several
locations which have been offered to
the champions.
This quest by the Athletics officials
comes as somewhat of a surprise, as it
was confidently believed that Connie
Mack wanted to train either at Rock
ingham, n. c., or Southern Pines, in
the same state. The latter spot was
the training camp of the Phillies last
spring, and Connie looked favorably
on the place as ideal for spring train
ing.
However. this pilgrimage of Davis
and Shibe means that all bets are off
for either of these places, and that
Savannah will have the honor of en-
PERTAINING the champions during their
spring training.
In accordance with the plans adopt
ed last season, the veterans Will go
first to Hot Springs. Va, where they
will loosen the flesh and chip away
the avoirdupois by a course of baths,
golfng and several weeks light train
ing. Then they will go to Savannah
to allow the sun OF. Georgia to 60 the
rest. This plan resulted SO splendidly
last season that Connie Mack is strong
for a repetition of the same stunt
again.
