No yacht skipper was more IA
vorably known on both sides of the
Atlantic than Charlie Barr, whose
sudden death shocked the yachting
world. Wee Charlie he was often
called, his five feet three making
him a marked man where big men
are the rule.
A Scot, he went 10 sea before
the mast and worked up. He won
fame in British waters with small
craft. brought the Minerva to this
country and decided TO make it his
home. He was equally good on
large or small yachts and he had
much to do in retaining the Amer
ica's cup upon at least two occa-
sions.
An incident which shows the
keynote of Bars character &C.
CURED when he commanded the
Herreshoff schooner Ingomar,
owned by Morton F. Plant. Barr
took Ingomar across in fast time,
refitted her and went through a
winning campaign in British and
German waters.
At Kiel, Ingomar raced against
the German emperor's schooner
Meteor, and as Plant was not a
member of the club, a member was
placed on board.
Ingomar and Meteor were man.
lowering one day for position at
the start. The former, close
hauled, and on the starboard tack,
stood for the line and had the
right of way. The kaiser had the
wheel on his yacht, which was on
the port tack and was bound to
keep clear. AS the yachts drew to-
gether and a collision was immin-
ent, the CLUB representative turn
ed to Barr and said:
Captain, the kaiseil Tack"
Barr looked at the Meteor and
turning to the visitor said. 1.-THE
kaiser ceases to be Kaiser when he
steps aboard a racing yacht"
Then TO the quartermaster, who
had the wheel, he said: Hold her
as she is"
A moment later Ingomar and
Meteor came together, but no dam
age was done. That evening the
kaiser sent for Barr, talked yacht
ing with him and as the captain
left, handed him a souvenir. The
next day the Meteor gave Ingomar
a wide berth.

Texas league affairs are some

of the Oklahoma City club Is be
ing fought for in court and the
makeup of the circuit is still in
: doubt, as Austin and Little Rock
are anxious to get in and GUST
some of the cities that are now in.
Pirate Fred Clarke has been
visiting in Oklahoma this winter
and is so much pleased with the
new state that he may move there
from the neighboring state of
Kansas. Fred has a brother a
member of the Oklahoma legisla-
ture.

Wade Killifer by the Washington

Deacon Jim Mcguire of the Maps
says 1t is not all fun to manage
a big league team. No one would
suspect anything of the kind from
the looks of Manager Jim for the
last two summers.
Pitcher Joe Wood has signed a
contract with the Red Sox for next
season. John |. Taylor was not
sure that he was going to get the
big finger in line after all the
talk going the rounds about trad
ing him. Carrigan is still holding
out.
Although Horace Fogel says
none o fhis players is holding out,
big Earl Moore has not yet sent
in his 1911 contract.
An exchange says Clarke Grit
fifth is still able to pitch good ball.
II he can pitch half as we'll as he
used to in his palmy days, he is
able to make good on that asser-
ton.
The death of r. H. Davis, big
stockholder in the Jersey City ball
club, and influential politician,
may make big difference to the
club. Davis used his influence for
Sunday ball, but the authorities
may shut down on it hereafter.

SCHOOL NOTES.

Let me, if possible, clear up
the misapprehension in regard
to study outside of school hours
by the pupils of the high school.
] suppose there is not parent
in town who is not only desir-
GUS but anxious to see first
class high school established and
maintained in Grangeville. From
few complaints that have
reached us, we find our point of
difference hinges upon the
amount of study that each pupil
should do outside of school hours
IT is hard to set any definite
amount of study, for pupils diff
fer so much in ability. The work
to be accomplished is the only
thing that can determine the
amount of study. And here let
me say we are not attempting to
do more work than is done in the
high schools thruout the land
neither is our standard of per-
fection higher. In fact our
standard is the capability of the
average pupil. Does it not fol-

and hearty congratulations a
sumptuous wedding supper was
partaken of by those present.
Many tasty and valuable presents
from the numerous friends of the
two young people were in evil
dence. Just at the conclusion of
the supper the band, of which th'
groom has been member for a
number of years, sprung a sur
prise on the assembled guests by
starting up "a choice selection on

ORGANIZE FOR

The Commercial Club of this
city has taken the preliminary
steps for the organization of an
independent road district for this
community, and at a meeting
held Tuesday night of this week
John w. Wilks was appointed to
circulate petition among the
citizens. The law requires fifty
signatures of taxpayers included
within the proposed district. The
petition is then presented to the
county commissioners who call an
election. The district under con-
temptation includes within its
bounds all the territory extend
ing from one mile east and thre,
miles north of Grangeville west
to Tolo, and to the foothills on
the south. Fairview, Winona,
Greenereek, and Cottonwood
have all either organized or are
organizing Independent road dis
tricts,and it is believed there will
soon be lively and wholesome
spirit Of road building engender-
ed the county over.

SURE TO BRING
GOOD RESULTS
Says Complimentary Things
of Idaho County's Exhibit
and Exhibitor.

Insurance Commissioner l. G.
Hattabaugh in a personal letter
to l.. NJ. Harris, among other
things has the following to say
regarding Idaho county's exhibit
at the Boise state fair and the
great advantages that would have
come from a little more liberal
adv ertising policy as a county.
He says:
am extremely proud Of our
exhibit, l can say without doubt
that exhibit has done more to ad-
vertise North Idaho than any
thing that has ever occurred.
People are absolutely dumfoun-
ded at the fruit, grain and vege-
tables raised up there without ir-
rigation. OF course down in this
section it hardly seems possible;
yet the grain etc., furnished such
conclusive evidence that all had
yet to admit it. / was at the fair
two days after you left and Mrs.
ii. took her stand around the Ida
no county exhibit and talked to
every man, woman and child that
passed that way. She was very
emphatic in her stories about
qrangeville and Idaho county,
she called the attention of visi-
tors to the pictures of grain
fields, machinery, etc. Take it
all in all we think the exhibit
served good purpose and no
doubt but good results will fol-
low.
| regret extremely that we
could not have been advertised a
little better on the Governor s
Special. ~ That is going to be one
Of the biggest things for Idaho
that has been brought out for
years, it is attracting wide atten-
tion already and ii we could have
had some Of those splendid ex-
hibits and pictures from our
county it would have been great.
The people of Idaho county can
and should appreciate what you
have done here for that portion
of the county. One con not even
guess approximately what efforts
you put forth while here to ad-
vertise the country, and those
who were present only can ap-
preciate all that was done. Not
withstanding the first two days
Of inclement weather, the FAN
was a decided success. Saturday
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
were all good days. The parade
on Monday night was the best
thing ] ever witnessed, it cost
