 NEWSPAPER MEN

Rockefeller arrived hero today for his annual summer stay at Forest Hill. his estate in east Cleveland. He was accompanied by Mrs. Rockefeller and the latters sister, Miss Lucy Spell man.
 The oil king did not leave his private car until the train on which he made the trip from Pocntico Hills, N. T., was al- most ready to pull out. He was immedi- ately surrounded by flock of reporters.
 Please, please, gentlemen pleaded the richest man in the world, .dont ques- tion me; please, pease,' and he added:
 Why can't I be allowed to come here as an ordinary man."
 G. A. Rudd, MT. Rockefeller's brother in-law, and H. M. Adams, an attache of Forest Hill, met the party at the station and whirled its members away to Forest Hill in an automobile.

 Judge Kavanaugh is making an inves- tigation of the assault of Umpire Co1li- flower by Chattanooga fans some time ago. If he finds out that adequate po- lice protection was not afforded he will probably impose a stiff fine on the Chat tanooga owners.
 Judge Kavanaugh has notified "Duclky' Holmes that he will remain in a state of suspension until he pays fine of s10 imposed on him by Umpire Fftzsimmons in Chattanooga some days ago.
 Fftzsimmons states that Holmes threat ened to break his neck when he got the umpire in Mobile again.

New York. June 16.-President Lynch of the National league announced to- day that he had disallowed the pro- test of the Pittsburg club against the Pittsburg- Cincinnati game on May 27, which was won by Cincinnati by a score of 1 to o. President Lynch says that Umpire in Chief Klem substanti- ates Umpire Doyle, that Hunter of Pittsburg was touched out sliding into the bag and therefore under the rules there can be no appeal, as the de- cision was one left to the umpire's Judgment only.
 Pittsburg, 1t appears from President Lynchs decision, protested the game on the ground that Hunter was safe and that Umpire Doyle remarked later that he would have called Hunter out even had he been standing on the bag.

 The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company reaped the benefit.
 Joe Knotts, Turtle catcher of two sea sons, has reported to Manager Jordan of the Atlanta club. The Crackers now have three catchers. Wells, Knotts and Menafee.
 The Atlanta papers, when Birmingham defeated the Crackers fin the double ltdueT lHuTSudy, Iuaue an aIIdck on the alleged infringement of the salary limit of the league. They called no names.
 It is now wondered if there will be an- other charge of salary limit violation in the league this season?
 Chattanooga is now a little closer to the Barons than yesterday.
 They are going mighty fast.
 It is very probable that when the Look outs reach the scene the fight between them and the Barons will be for tnlrd place.
 Last season the Barons stopped them. and they were going faster than now.

John l.. McGraw, who has piloted the New York Giants through the early stages of the season with such effectiveness that they now loom up as the favorites to win the National league flag. There is no getting away from the fact that McGraw is the greatest manager that ever handled ball team, says w. s. Farnsworth, the baseball expert.
 The portrait at the left, above, shows McGraw's grim-set, square jaw and his business-like, eagle eye. On the right he is snapped in the act of giving an um- pire piece of his mind. The center picture shows "Muggsy" indulging in the morning workout with his charges, and below he is calling for the ball, prepara- tory to batting out. "fungoers" for his outfieders to chase.
 The Little Napoleon is seldom better portrayed than in these characteristic likenesses of him.

THE RESULT

The majority given yesterday by
the temperance people for contin.
uance of local option in this coun-
~ was so decisive as to leave no
doubt Of the sentiment against the
return Of the saloon. The major
ity was so emphatic, in fact, that
1t is not likely the question will
be opened again for many years to
come.
The reason for the aversion to
the saloon is not difficult to find
So long as mothers heart beats
for her children, so long VIII she
cast her ballot TO keep even the
temptation to use liquor from her
home and family Business rea-
sons cut no figure with her when |
placed against any danger to the
morals of her family And by her
side are many fathers. Many men,
IL is true, in this campaign look
ed at the question from a hard
headed standpoint; some of them
believed, and honestly, too, that
there were better ways to handle
the liquor traf ic, but mother could
mt be convinced that so long as
the saloon existed there was dan
ger to her husband and her sons
and daughter And deep down in
every fathers heart, if he has the
courage and the honesty to admit
II, is the conviction that mother is
right. You and ]. and every other
man who has witnessed the want
and suffering and heart burnings
Of the wife and mother because of p
liquor, don't wonder that she will .
light the saloon with all the po7 .
ger in her being every chance
he gets. To the man a regulated
aloon may be preferable, but to
Ter a saloon under any other nam
you'd smell no sweeter, and she
Cesn't propose to take any chances
So long as women vote on these
uestions, the saloon has as much
how OF returning to Canyon county
5 a SNOWFALL OF keeping cold in
ell.
