Telephone Deal Adjusted.

What is considered as a vsry
satisfactory settlement of tht
telephone problem in Meridian
was made Tuesday Of this week
when an agreement was signed nj
between the Mountain States Go
(The Belly and the Meridian In
dependent Telephone Co., whereby
the local company will assume en-.
tire charge OF this field. and tbs
Bell will take out the few phones
they have here. The contract ID
for ten years, and has been signed
by Manager Jones, of ths Bell in.
terssts, and President Reynolda
and other local officers here.
By the terms of the contract
free toll will be furnished into
Boise pending the completion OF
the "cut over" of the Independent
lines there. After that q toll OF
10 cents for a 3-minuts converse
tion will be charged. While this
will be an apparent hardship to
the public after a free servics &c
long, it is just as apparent that q
toll was inevitable at some time,
in fact the local company had al.
ready determined that free Boise
toll was losing proposition. II
will cut off considerable visiting
and business men in Meridian will
prefer prompt service and o small
toll to long wait with slime busy
The Meridian company owns
the toll line half way to Boise,
but the Bell company agree to
maintain in repair the whole line
and allow the Meridian company
20 per cent of the proceeds Of the
toll business, originating at this
end. ..,s
The Meridian subscriber will
have connection with the whole
Bell system, while before hs was
limited to the Independent sub-
scribers.
The settlement of the matter
out of court, will serve q good
purpose, in that the local Inds-
pendent company is pat on its
feet, and for ten years will have q
business arrangement with ito big
rival, instead of carrying OF q
legal warfare, in which of course
the small company has q disadvan-
tage.

the local company, says he 10 very
much pleased with the outcome.

The following excellent article
written for the Times, by Judge
w. G. Dunbar, should be read anC
tbs suggestions carried into effect
by the people of Ada county:
A fact that deeply impresses
the Juvenile judge is the number
of unskilled boys and men. A
boy can legally leave school wher
hs graduates from the eighth grade
Many boys leave before this tc
help support their parents OF
brothers and sisters or because OF
i'll health or without legal right
because they are tired of school
What are such boys, even graduates
of the grammar school, capable OF
doihgf In actual life what they
do 10 to get job as errand boy in
store or messenger service.
Perhaps they drive a delivery
wagon or assist in a hotel or
boarding house. A few get work
on ranches and perhaps the small
est proportion of all start in to
learn some trade such as plumb bing,
electrical business. carpenter work,
engineering, architecture, brick
laying blacksmith work, etc.
Tits possible for a boy to start in
messenger in some establishment
and rise to the highest position
but in real life in these days such
things are rare and the probability
10 that the ordinary boy who takes
such q position will stay for a few
weeks and then leave or be dis
charged and will drift about from
one job to smother with a lot of
idlsness in between and in the
end eight out of ten of such boys
will turn out unskilled and un.
trained men.
1t is from this class
OF boys that many delinquents
come. They have not the special
education or definite aim which
will enable them to secure proper
employment ct wages sufficient to
support them decently. If such
boys had an opportunity to have
say atwo years course in a good
industrial or trade school their
lives might be entirely different.
To begin with they would be in
tsnssly interested in such work.
/ believe that of five boys who tire
OF the study of books four boys
would enthusiastically take up the
practical study of some trade or
business. In two years of willing
work and study such a boy would
have good knowledge of some
trade and would be in a much
bsttsr position to find employment
and to remain employed. He
would not be drifting about like a
ship without a rudder but would
know what he wanted to do and
what he was able to do. He would
sooD be a skilled and efficient
workman who would be able to
support himself or family in a
proper and respectable way, He
would forever be out of that help
less. aimlsss, drifting andgeneralIy
unemployed class--unskilled labor
srs. | know of no institution
which would mean more to the
young people of this part of Idaho
than good industrial or trade
school. In my opinion the ideal
way would be to have it part of
our public school system. 1t
would prevent idleness. inefic.
isncy and delinquency among boys
and would be a valuable asset for
Boise and its vicinity.

Among the spectators were

Recently McGoorty knocked out

In the second main bout Mike

on points.
McGoorty opened up with a right

gered the Englishman with a left
hook on the jaw. Keeping his man
continually on the defensive he
sent right and left blows to the
head and, after a smashing right to

the chin, he hooked Harrison's jaw
with his left, sending him down for
a count of nine.
The Englishman got up groggy,
and McGoorty, after landing three
rights and three lefts on the head,
with another left hook put him
down again for the count of nine.
The same blow a few seconds later
sent Harrison to the floor for the
third time, when he was counted

DEPEND ON GRIFF AND
MACK TO TRAIN BOSTON

DOSTON, Sept 24.--Jim Nc
ID Aleer, president and part
owner of the Boston Red
SoX and father of the All-Star Sc
ries project, the move that put the
Athletics on edge to defeat the
Chicago Cubs in 1910 and the New
York Giants in 1911, says that it
is up to the Red Sox brother clubs
to put them right for the forthcom-
ing clash with the Giants.
McAleer hopes and believes that
each and every club will put forth
its best efforts to help condition
the Red Sox for the fight, victory
in which means continued prestige
for the American league.
He says every manager owes 1t
to himself, the Red Sox and the
league to send his very best line
up, including his s. ongest pitch
ing, against the Boston Speed
Boys, especially in the last half
dozen games of the season.
The Red Sox still have a dozen
games to play, with one more
Yankee game they can play II they
care to do so.

season, three games at Washing

" Marquard will have to take
big brace if he is to be of any
service to the Giants in the COM
ing worlds series. When the Reu-
ben began to hit the slide, after
the Cubs stopped his famous win
ming streak back in July, it was
only natural that he should show
some effect of the strain he had
been under while compiling the
record. But he has had sufficient
time to recover, and. his lack of

ers no little uneasiness regarding
the outcome of the big series
OF course, Tesreau is counted on
as the real hope when the Giants
and the Red SoX clash, and Matty,

right, Chief"
The question of batting and
pitching as the means of making
winning club will naturally arise in
the fans mind. That leads to
arguments which would take up
columns of space. l will not enter
into such arguments.
Being a hitter and not a pitcher,
| think that for my own part
would rather have a ball club of
good, free swinging, hard hitting
fellows which would roll up a lot
of runs than a team which had
two or three cracking good pitch
ers who could hold the other fell
lows down to very few runs.
Runs, after all, are what count
in the game, you know. With my
club sending over six or eight or
more in a game, think I'd rather
trust to a middle-class pitcher
and good fielding-to keep the
other fellows from scoring so
many.
