CONTEST STILL AT.
TRACING INTEREST
VOTES INCREASE BY LEAPSAND
BOUNDS AS CANDIDATES
WORK FOR THE PRIZE

But a few weeks more until the Re
ubllcan Gold Coin Contest will be
brought to close Candidates
should devote every minute of their
spare time to the work henceforth.
The prizes are well worth the effort
and the opportunity to do effective
work will soon be gone.
The ease with which votes are Sc
cured by the willing workers is attest
ed by the standing of the candidates
this week. All of them show a re-
markable increase over their vote of
last week with apparently but little
effort The Republican is popular
with the people and they welcome the
opportunity of helping their favor
ite win one of the prizes.
Candidates are not limited to any
certain territory in their canvas for
subscriptions but may work anywhere
If you have friends in any part of
the country write them for their sub
scription.
Residents of Elmore county can
spend two dollars to no better adj
vantage than by subscribing for the
Republican for a year for some east
ern friend The Republican will tell
him truthfully each week of our ban
ner crops, matchless climate and un-
paralleled opportunities for the home
seeker. The local paper is the best
medium. The stories told
in it are true and the easterner rely
upon it. Decide today to mail the
to 'the man back East
Following is the standing of the
candidates.

LOCAL BOYS TAKE
GAME FROM NAMPA
FAST BALL PLAYED BY BOTH
SIDES AND THE VICTORY IS
ONE TO BE PROUD OF

1he newly organized Mountain
Rome base ball team celebrated tn
opening of the local base ball season
by administering a near white.was]
TO the aggregation of ball tosser
from the Junction City, sometime,
known as Nampa, collecting a tota
Oh b runs to the visitors |.
A fair sized crowd witnessed tn,
contest which was filled with sensa
tiohal plays and daring base running
lie marvellous work of Grayson an(
Farrell the local battery in pulling ou
OF holes when runs seemed newt
able brought forth rounds of ap
pplause. The pitching of Graysor
was particular feature. The visit
ors garnered but few hits of the
scratchy variety, and not pass was
issued during the game by the local
twirler
Nampa started the running get
ting in the first of the second in
hlng when one man crossed the plat
ter. The locals came back in their
half of the second with a lonesome
tally sewing up the score. Nampa
was retired in the first of the third
In one, two, three order. A foozle
by the Nampa infield in the last of
the third was signal for a genuine
aviation meet, with no additional
charge to the interested spectators.
and before the visitors came back
to earth four locals had busted the
home plate. This ended the run get
ting until the locals in the last half
OF the fifth once more negotiated the
circuit.
From the fifth both pitchers had
the bewildered batsmen at their
mercy and either team had but one
to score. In the first of
the eighth a sensational running
catch by Seiffert the local third base
man deprived the visitors of their
only opportunity.
The Mountain Home team showed
form for a newly orga-
lized team and the only apparent
weakness is their stick work which
;an be easily remedied with prac-
ice. Grayson, Farrell, Wilson, Hend-
'icks, Eaton and Seiffert did stellar
work in the infield and the outfield
covered territory in big league style.
The umpiring of F. G. Ticknor

Iered impartially and with good
Judgment and neitehr team found oc-
aston to protest.

endered several selections in a pleas

ICE MAD.

rORTY CENTS a hundred pounds to all customers, old and
new, will be the price Of ice the coming summer, in spite OF
the unprecedented crop last winter. The edct Of the ice
companies has gone forth.
The Evening World holds no brief for the ice magnatcs Nor
does it believe that they fix their prices in transports of charity and
benevolence. But there are one or two things worth remembering
when the ice bill looks big.
No city in the world absorbs and wastes so much ice as New
York. If ice be a luxury and sign Of civilization we may fairly claim
to be ahead, in this respect at least, Of all the great cities of Europe.
Nowhere on earth does the general public demand ice so lavishly, so
vastefuny, for so many purposes.
In London, Paris and Berlin ice is rarely served in drinking
water save upon request. In this country water, wines and light
drinks are iced to a degree that horrifes the European. That ice
spois the taste Of most drinks makes no difference. We will have it.
Rhine wines, sauternes. even red wines, are. frequently served
here in ice buckets. No Frenchman or German would dream Of
drinking these things at more than cellar temperature. In England
beer is never chilled, and even whiskey and soda, the ~"highball," is
ohener than not taken without ice.
Dine at a New York restaurant and note the ice used at q
single meal The glass OF drinking water contains three or four
big Jumps OF ice renewed from time to time as the dinner goes on.
Melon is brought resting on q solid cake of ice with a hole scooped
in the top. Oysters are served nesting in four or five inches Of
cracked ice. Wine comes in a bucket Of ice. The dessert, if it be
Fruit, has been surrounded by ice up to the last minute. The creme
de menthe is slipped from a feathery mass Of powdered ice.
Decidedly we are a city, indeed a nation, Of ice cranks. Whether
We should not be better without so much, whether most wine and
fruit does not lose flavor from being overiced, is beside the point.
Wisely or fooishly, we insist upon having ice. And Of all articles
OF earthly comfort is there any that deteriorates and perishes more
rapidly and certainly from the earliest moment?
All day long, in millions of drinks, in thousands OF ice water
pitchers tinking through the corridors of hotels, in thousands Of
water coolers in big office buildings, in the freezers Of confectoners
ana caterers, in countless refrigerators, large and small, the precious
stun melts quickly into nothingness.
No wonder New York has q big ice bill
