Value Of Gaod Rnsda

The value Of farming land depends
very largely on the distance from a
market Il good road has the effect
OF shortening the time required for
carrying a load Of produce to market,
which IS practically the same thing as
shortening the distance
Howard H. Gross, IN the Two Har
bors (MinnJ News. relates the story
of a hard-headed German farmer at
ShebOygan. who in a very graphic and
comprehensive way. told of the value
of good roads as it appeared to- him
He said: My farm is ten miles from
market If it was only five miles from
market # would be worth SIS an acre
more. I cannot move my farm IN but
If we can build a good road to my farm
I can come in the ten miles with ny
produce easier than I could come tn

Sailing Is Real Ben Hur.

Jim Thompson has relinquished all
claim to the title of THE Modern
Ben Hur," signing it over to County
Clerk Frank Sailing as a result of
the latter's wild drive last evening
He had gone out to the Thompson
ranch on the reservation to watch
the chariot team perform on the
Barney Sperry track. He accepted
an invitation to ride around the
course with Herbert Thompson and
thereby had a little excitement. When
near the finish, one of the tour horses
became frightened and started to run,
his teammates joining in. Sailing
grabbed two of the lines from Thomp-
son and, with hair streaming in the
wind, held gallantly on as the horses,
dashing at mad speed, flew the track
and made off across the field. Horse
back riders came to the rescue by
overtaking the chariot but it was not
until a full stop was reached that the
county clerk surrendered the lines.
Today the Elk committee is trying to
persuade the new Ben Hur to repeat
his performance at the circus to-
morrow.

Speed Maniacs, Watch Out.
The new speed regulating ordinance
was adopted last evening, although to
secure it's passage it was necessary to
send Chief of Police Kearney after
Councilman Kirkpatrick. Only five
members were present, Councilman
Ell being out of the city, Councilman
Dyer being i'll and kirkpatrick alb
sent from unknown reasons. The
emergency clause in the ordinance
made the presence of six members
imperative and this number was Sc
cured when the chief returned with
Kirkpatrick clad in his farmer togs
The new ordinance prohibits riding
or driving on the streets faster than
twelve miles an hour and directs that
signs proclaiming the speed limit
shall be set up on the streets leading
into the city. Mayor Matlock declar-
ed that the ordinance should be en-
forced to the letter.

GARRETT LOSES IN
EXTRA INNING DUEL

Boise, June 27.-Eleven innings, 4
to 3, Boise wins. That tells in briel
the story of one of the greatest games
ever played in Boise, which was seen
at Cody park yesterday afternoon.
Mays was the boy who won the game
for the home club. Throughout the
IL gruelling innings he allowed the
visitors but five hits, and 1t was his
clean single in the eleventh inning
that started the rally which ended
the contest. He scored the winning
run.
The game was a pitching duel be-
tween Carl Mays and Jesse Garrett,
two of the leagues best pitchers. on
the one side was Mays, with youth,
confidence, physique and natural
ability; on the other Garrett, with
experience, knowledge of the game
and a cool and able baseball brain.
Youth must be served, and youth,
with confidence and natural ability
won.
For 10 innings the two star pitch
ers worked neck and neck, but the
pace told on Garrett, and in the final
round he weakened and lost his
game Mays had outlasted him.
The score was tied at to when
Boise came to bat in the closing can
to- Mays was first up, and he lead
off with a line drive over second that
put him on first with none down.
Lundstrum tried to bunt, but Gar
rett's brain was working, though his
arm was weak. He put the pill where
Fritz barely could reach it and made
| him foul off two. With two strikes
on him he had to hit, and hit he did
short single into left field that
Mays could only get to second on.
Clark Breaks IL Up.
Aftermath came up with instruc-
tions to lay it down, but he did not
get a chance. Garrett was losing his
control, and, in trying to waste one
he hit Badly, filling the bases with
none down Fred Clark was ther
the man of the hour and he delivered
the hit that broke it up. Against the
boards in right field he put the ball
1t was easily a double, but wher
Mays crossed the plate with the win
ming count the game was over anC
Fred gets credit only for a one-timC
rap.
The fielding was practically per

fielding that looked like an error

the Bucks did not affect the result.
Some of the Boise fieldings wa
sensational and the visitors did no
miss getting much there was an!

License for All Dancers.

Dodge City, Kans.-Dodge City,
once wild and woody, has become so
good now that it is necessary for a
person to obtain a city license before
he or she may dance.
Recently there has been complaint
of the number of dances here, and of
the conduct of some of them. The
churches took up the matter and be-
seigned the city council. The council
acted by imposing a license fee of
$40 for all dances, and adding to the
ordinance a provision requiring a IL
cense for each dancer.
The cost of a license was fixed at
81 for men, women and children, the
license to be good for the calendar
year.

with Willie, a neighbor boy of the
same age, and was licked. Johnny's
mother, indignant that her offspring
should have suffered such an indig-
nifty, sent a hurry-up call to the po-
lice and Chief Kearney, thinking from
the tone of the wOmans voice that
murder was being done, mounted his
bicycle and pumped his way at top
speed to the lower end of the city
When he was apprised of the stu
alton, his native politeness came
nearly being upset but he managed to
explain courteously that kid fights did
not come properly in his jurisdiction.
