That Nezperce is reported to
be ready to spend $4,000 to cap
ture the prairie league pennant.
They will surely be given a run
for their money
That Howell mer has signed
Bethel, Holenste in and "Slats y
Taylor, of til Lewiston ball
team, and has designs on the

That visiting teams are work
ing at great disad vantage at Nez-

gets off of its cow pasture and
creek bottom diamond it will
bump up against faster ball than
it has at home SO far this season.
That the Chronicle has the I'M

young ball pitchers in this part
of the state and the best in the
prairie league. He is Rustemeyer

That Joe Wade, the Tribune

Fact That Water Did Not Come Into Augusta Was Due to the Work Accomplished on the
 River Bank

Augusta, December 25.-The condition nal stage gradually. The gauge here this morning shows 26 feet, and it is fall ing at the rate of three to four inches an hour The ground has been made so wet by the recent heavy rains that the river is falling much more slowly than 1t otherwise would.
 There was considerable uneaslness felt here during Saturday and Sunday and the weather bureau officials locally were besieged with inquiries night and day regarding the condition of the river Some of the merchants who were especially anxious removed their merchandise from the cellars, but the majority of the mer- chants expressed faith in the predictions of the forecaster that the water would not go over % feet Forcaster Emigh came within six inches of being correct in his estimate as the maximum height of the river to be reached. Rabbits were drivenA from the lowlands by the water and are being killed in quantities by Christmas hunters
 An amount of live stock was drowned in the swamps, but beyond this the dam age was small.
 The fact that the water did not come into the city was due to the work ac- complshed on the river bank. Formerly 29 feet of water was sufficient to inundate the low parts of the city, but the banks have been raised, and it takes B feet of water to come in

Washington December 25.-(Special.)- Are all the children in the United States to receive a Christmas present from Uncle Sam? A fine gift for them and one which they can get from him alone is the early passage of the children's bureau bill, which has just been reported favorably to the House of Representatives by unanl- nous vote of the committee on labor. The bill at present is on the calendar in both houses and there seems to be no req son for further delay. The measure now seems more likely to become law than at any previous time since it was introduced five years ago. It was up in the Senate on Monday. December II, when it was evident that a heavy majority of the members were in favor of it, but it's further consideration was postponed fol- lowing attacks from Senators Bailey of Texas and Hepburn of Idaho.
 Both senators apparently were under misapprehension as to the scope of the measure Senator Hepburn declared it meant the establishment of nurseries throughout the country to determine the wisdoi.l of parents, and Senator Bailey feared it meant a menace to the authori- ty of the states by the federal govern ment There is a widespread misunder- standing of the purpose of the bill which many seem to think is for bureau to investigate and even legislate on child

TAFT PUTS BAN ON
 FAKE EPKOTOGRAPR

Washington, December 25.-Week-end tourists who want to go back to the folks with photographs with real Wash ington, D. C., label on them, showing President Taft in the act of shaking them by the hand or in earnest conversation with them, got an unexpected Christmas present from MT. Taft, for the President has put the official ban on these flake" photos.
 Several days ago a Pennsylvania ave- nue photographer, whose window exhibit contains many pictures of Mr. Taft in
 1. s..dk.-.S hands with various citizens whom he probably never met. was informed by United States District Attorney Wilson to leave MT. Taft out of such pictures in the future.
 The photographer appealed to the White House, but the President upheld MT. Will son.
 In a recent decision the supreme court held that photograph was a person s own property and it is not likely that the Presidents case will go to the courts President Roosevelt once appeared in a flake picture, Apparently conversing witl a negro coal dealer. He entered an ob- iection immediately and the practice was l stopped.

Freight Wreck

Evergreen, December 25.-(Special)--A collision occurred here at 8 o'clock this morning between the two sections of No. b. The first section had reached the station and the conductor and en- gineer went into the telegraph office for orders, while the flagman of the same section went back to warn the second part of the train. He had not proceeded farther than 100 yards before he heard the blast of the locomotive of the fol- lowing train, announcing the near ap- proach to Evergreen. It was too late for the fagman to give the necessary warning, because the two sections were not half a mile apart and the grade was down hill.
 In less than five minutes the engine of the rear section ran into the caboose of the first with an impact so loud that people living nearly mile from the de- pot were awakened. The loss consisted in the complete destruction of four gon- dolas an done caboose. Three of the doIas and one cahoose. Thr-~ of the with rock.

NEW SAW MILLS IN
 BALDWIN COUNTY
Do Rushing Business Owing to Great Demand for Lumber-A Big
 Potato Crop Expected

Bay Minette, December 25.-(Special)- Despite the fact that the large timber has been practically all cut out in this coun- ty, the great demand for lumber oc- casioned by the building of many new homes and barns and tobacco sheds has caused the installation of number of new sawmills in this county just recently on tracts of land where the timber is reasonably good and can be gotten with. out a great deal of trouble. The last mills to be reported as being installed are fin the southern portion of the county, one of which is on Fish river, being still in the process of erection. and which will be operated by MT. Tinny, an experienced mill man. MT. F. L. Brown, who oper- ates a brick and pottery plant near Mar low, in the southern end of the county, also expressed himself as having or dered complete milling outfit which he will erect as soon as it arrives. The Brown sawmill, which is located on Fish river also, but which has been closed down for some time, will also begin oper- ations at the first of the year.

It has been conceded all the way through that MT. Quin was the strongest candidate, but S. J. owen, ed itor of the New Albany Gazette, kept on fighting, and it was supposed he would get lot of votes from his part of the state. But he didn't, and in the last is sue of his paper he renounced hls can didacy in the following language: q be- lieve that my friend, Hon. H. M. Quin, of Hinds, who was so nearly successful four years ago, is the choice of the in coming legislature for that position
 This means that MT. Quin will be elected speaker of the house. He came within a few votes of the goal last year. Colonel Street defeated him by very few votes, but Colonel Street is not a candidate this time, having been defeat ed for renomnation.
