Electric Lines May Come.

Guy W. Talbot, president, ano
A. S. Grenier, vice president OF
the Pacific Power & Light COM
pany, have recently made a thor
ough inspection of the central
Idaho power projects, the power
plants of the Lewiston-C Charleston
Improvement company and final
ly visited the power site on the
Grand Ronde. The power COM
pany officials were accompanied
to the Grand Ronde by S. S. Phil
brick, Henry Adams and Engi-
neer Foster, of the Lewiston
Charleston Improvement COM
pany, and Henry H. Jones, local
manager of the Pacific Power &
Light company.
After the conclusion of the WIS.,
it at Grand Ronde, Messrs. Tai
bott and Grenier proceeded to
Walla Walla overland and the
local members Of the party re-
turned to their homes yesterday.
Members of the party have de-
clined to discuss the purpose of
the visit of the Pacific Power &
Light company officials to the
power plants and power site of
the Lewiston-Clarkston Improve
ment company but it is under
stood plans are being perfected
for the extension of the electric
line from Walla Walla to Clark
ston and Lewiston and the mat
ter of securing power here enters
into the plans at the present
time. 1t is also stated a connec-
ton with the prairie country is
expected through an extension of
the Nezperce & Idaho from Voll-
mer to Forest and through the
Waha country to Lewiston. ~.
1t is explained that the Pacific
Light & Power company has ex-
tensive power available by the
development of a Columbia river
project but the demands for
power at the present time will
not warrant the investment nec-
essary to develop this project
while the operation of electric
roads from Walla Walla to Lewis
ton and the prairie country would
insure a sufficient demand TO
warrant the installation of a
large power plant at the Grand
Ronde or on the Lolo. Tuesdays

Contract Barley At A Dollar.

Camas prairie farmers who
have big fields of winter barley
are certainly in it this year for
the grain dealers are already
opening the market at a contract
price of a cent a pound and many
figure that the price will go con-
siderably higher before spring
and possibly reach the cent and
a half mark. Owing to the al
most total loss of crops in the
central states feed will be short
and barley and oats are bound to
be in demand. AS the wheat
market is governed by the for
eign crop, which is above aver
age, the price of this grain is
liable not to advance materially
this fall.

Nezperce Contests Game.

A game resulting 8 to 2 in
favor OF Grangeville, and which
was one of the best ever seen on
a prairie diamond, has been con-
tested by Nezperce and will go
to the president of the league for
decision. The contest will be
based on the ground that Umpire
Shelter was in error when in the
second inning he called Jervis
out after the latter had hit a
home run with two men on bases.
The umpire based his decision on
the ground that Jervis had run
more than two feet wide of the
base lines. The contention of
Nezperce is that the runner is
privileged so to do if he does not
DO so to avoid being touched by
the ball. In this case the ball
had not been fielded back before
Jervis had completed the circuit.
ltls said that Shelter now admits
he was in error. Nezperce got
her two scores Sunday in the
second inning, while in that in
ming Grangeville also scored two
and came back in the sixth with
one.
Jervis pitched for Nezperce
Sunday and Mulholland caught.
Carr was the twirler for Grange
vile and Holenstein was behind
the bat. Jervis struck out twelve
men and Carr seven. Nezperce
got three hits and the Grangeville
boys four. The game was play
ed in one hour and twenty-three
minutes, and only thirty-four
men faced the pitchers on each
side.
Nezperce still leads in the
league, with Cottonwood in s,c-
ond place and Grangeville, third.

BARLEY BRINGS
GOOD PRICE
Buyers Pick up Several
Hundred Thousand Bushels of
New Crop---Timothy S e d
Brings High Figure.

The local grain markets have
opened with much activity and
ourlng the past week approx
mately 10000 sacks of barley
nave been acquired by the local
grain companies. The Lewiston
price at the present time is S1,O5
per hundred and freight rates
from prairie points will make
the price at those places about
81 per hundred.
The first wheat purchase of
the season is reported by W. S.
Guntle, of the Pacific Coast Ele-
vator company and comprises
the E. S. Gordon crop of $4,000
bushels near Cloverland. The
price paid is not made public
but local quotations are Ga cents
for forty-fold while bluestem is
quoted at 68 cents.
The quality of the grain is re-
ported to be first grade and buy
ers generally expect a high grade
crop through the Lewiston terri
tory unless unfavorable weather
prevails. 1t is probable early
shipments to the coast will be
made to provide room in the
warehouses for the late deliver
les as reports received suggest
the warehouse facilities made
quate at all points in the Lewis
ton territory.
The activity in the grain mark
cts, however. has not lessened
the interest in the timothy seed
war now being waged in the
Craig mountain country and one
report received yesterday stated
9 cents per pound had been paid
at Reubens for a choice crop.
Another report received yester-
day states as much as 10 cents
per pound had been paid in the
mountain country for one of the
large crops and it is generally
believed the prices will go even
higher. Estimates provided by
farmers show that timothy seed
sold at 5 cents per pound will
bring net returns equal to a hay
crop sold at $18 per ton. The
present prices have resulted in
large numbers of contracts being
made in the mountain country as
the farmers generally prefer to
sell their crop at the present Of
ferings rather than risk a slump
in the market later in the season.

~ Team From Sawmill Towns
Nezoerce Lost But Protests the
umpire's Decision.

Cottonwood got back into her

tbe husky bunch of Winchester
hall tossers in an awfully rude
manner, shutting them out to
tbo tune of 8 to 0. The visitors
,ame over full of confidence and
enthusiasm, having loaded up
strong since the disbanding of
tbe Ilo-Vollmer and Reubens
teams, but they were up against
classier bunch of players and
Al of their efforts proved fruit
less.
Rustemeyer, for the locals, was
at his best and pitched big league
ball, allowing only three scratch
hits to the sluggers from the mill
town. He was given gilt edge
support throughout the game,
only three errors being credited
against the home boys during
the game. One of these was
made by Hayes, who was nervous
and muffed a fly in right field in
the first inning, and another by
White, who fumbled a fast
gounder at short. Both retriev-
ed themselves later, Hayes by
pulling down two fly balls and
by batting out a home run in the
fifth inning, and White by his
clever base running and good
stick work.
Stats" Taylor, formerly a
lewiston star, pitched for Win
chester and put up a great game.
He was hit hard at times, how
ever, yielding up a home run,
three 3-base hits and four doub-
les, and was not given the sup
port he should have had, several
errors at short and third proving
quite costly.

LAYING BRICKS.
How Scientific Methods Raised the
Standard of a Days Work.


There are now eminent consulting
engineers who are engaged By indus
trial heads TO study their establish
ments from top TO bottom with a view
10 finding by scientific study the meth
DDS of working, accounting and nan
ding labor which will improve on the
old traditional habits. Some extraordi-
nary results have been attained what
scientific management means Is al
mirably illustrated by the story OF
bricklaying. as told by an expert.
Ordinarily a brick mason makes
eighteen different sets of motions in
laying single brick. &c bends over
in the first place, to pick up one brick.
and in lifting 1t he lifts ten pounds OF
brick and about hundred POUNDS OF
brick mason-the upper part or MS
own body. In laying 1000 bricks in
DAYS work he lifts 100000 pounds OF
brick mason. This was an obvious
waste of labor. So common laporer
was hired to put the bricks where the
masons would not have to stoop Tor
them. Another thing is that when
mason picks up handmade brick,
which is always little thicker at one
side than on the other he losses the
brick up. turning it over until his
touch tells him which side is the top
before he puts it in place in the wall.
The cure for this was to have all the
bricks piled top up before they were
brought to the Inasons. Then. further
every one has seen the mason tap MS
brick several times to settle it into the
mortar-more waste of time. The cure
was to make the mortar thinner, SO
that the weight of the brick would set
tie 1t into the right position. This was
scientific management, motion study"
1t raised the days work for the aver
age brick mason from 1000 up TO 2,7o0
bricks a day and in individual cases to
much higher figures. The mason made
only six motions where he used to
make eighteen.-American Review OF

 The headline writer likes short words. He is more daft on the mon osyllablabic idea than any one of the rhetoricians. He has made the word wed" of great account. Be cause of the exigencies of the New York press, he created "zoo;" he is steadily idealizing the short, snappy word that will fall readily into his closely numbered scheme, for all his headline formations stand at so many spaces. Every letter counts.
 It is queer that such a tendency should have campaign relations. But it does. Foss is a great word for the headline writers: they shy at Froth' ingham: the republican candidate's name takes up a whole line, leaving no room for anything else. This an swers the question which outsiders are asking: Why does Foss dominate the headlines in all the newspapers They think he Is over advertised But this grows out of the name that he inherited. and upon which he has shed a certain sort of luster.

AL gETCHEL GETS " oi

Bisoee Man Will Asst in Train ing of { Freddie
 Welsh

According to advices received from Los Angeles yesterday. Al Ketchel will put on the gloves with Freddie Welsh Sunday afternoon at the lat ter's training quarters. Welsh is training for his championship match. on Thanksgiving Bay, with Ad Vol. gast.
 Thus, within ten days after reaching the coast city. KeUhel is able to go into the ring with a champion.hip fa- vorite, and if he makes a good show ing with Welsh. it will be an easy matter t1 get fighting dates with young corners Of the weAferWeight class.
 A new claimant has arisen on the coast for the welterweight champion ship of the Pacific coast. and 1t Is likely that he and Ketchel will meet in the ring soon. Anyway. Ketchel will challenge him for a match soon after his try-out with SFreddie Welsh Sunday afternoon.
 Ad Wolgast and his manager ar rived at the coast city yesterday and immediately secured training quarters. There is a great deal of local interest in the Thanksgiving Day fight and . casual observation discloses the fact that Welsh is the local favorite. Ketchel is said to have taken or weight since leaving the high altitude of Arizona. in spite of his strenuous training. Oh account of this. he may have to fight in the middleweighi class.
