HOMESTEAD BILL PASSES.

Washington, June 12.-It will be
remembered by students Of the labor
movement that years ago the trade
unions and reform papers were re-
sponsible for carrying through the
legislation which resulted in the
homestead, presumption and timber
claim laws Congress has just passed
a bill which reduces the requisite per
iod of residence on homesteads from
five years to three, and grants five
months leave of absence annually to
permit homesteadeFs to go away for
the purpose of experimenting their
incomes.

The Coast league is expected to OPP

killed by them in the meeting in Port

Northwestern league directors. with one
exception, will go to Milwaukee to try
TO get the advance and fight against
any opposition from other leagues.
The Northwestern league classes with

An effort was made to bring the
two teams together last fall due to the
fact that both had won the champion
ship Of their respective states. The
effort failed and the teams therefore
did not meet. In order to prevent a
possible failure this season, negotia-
tions for the championship game were
opened early and resulted successfully.
Boise had to guarantee $500 to bring

HE told me then that Tommy Andrews.

arranged the Australian tour for the

asked him to take charge OF the players
on the trip, and that he believed he
would go. He also thought II conditions
were favorable he might remain in Aus
tralia and organize league Of profess
sional players there. I thought that
was remarkably significant inasmuch a
biography of Mr.. Lucas remarkable
life showed where he had organized
four leagues in the northwest and one
In the east. 1t shows that the pioneer
ing spirit of organization was still dom
inant in the man. in spite Of his years
Of adversely. If baseball history will
show n man so true to his calling. so
faithful in his devotion to the game I'd
like to read it, I believe he is the most
remarkable man that organized base
ball ever left out Of the major leagues.
when think of what he did for
baseball in our own territory ! am
astonished No other man could have
kept the gam, alive and raised this
league to it's present high standard.
The magnates, many Of them who are
now enjoying prosperity, owe their
present good fortune to Mr.. Lucas fore
sight, executive ability and persever-
ance Like lot of his type, he died
without his reward"

WORRY CAUSE Of
DEATH OF LUCAS
Was Under Strain as Result
of Condition Of His
League.

The extreme worry over league con-
ditions in genera! is now said to have
been largely responsible for the sudden
death Of President ". II. Lucas Of the
Union league. At least this Is the opin-
ion of intimate associates who knew
that the president was greatly worried
over the way matters were going, and
while he seldom complained he gave
them to understand that he did not like
the way matters pertaining to the
league We're standing.
Worry about the circumstances that
caused his removal from Salt Lake and
unusual cxertions in preparing for the
leagues annual meeting at Great Falls
next week are thought by his intimate
friends to have helped in Fastening his
death. That he had weak heart was
known to but few The selection Of a
successor will now become the most Sc
rious proposition TO be taken up by the
league leaders in their coming session.
Mr.. Lucas was an admirable executive
and one of the most experienced and
best adapted of minor league presidents.
At the time of his death Mr.. Lucas had
nearly completed the making out of
Union association players averages for
the season. This work will now be
taken up by other hands.
That Lucas was contemplating estab-
fishing professional league in Aus
tralia, and had been offered the man
agcn.ent of the tour of the New York
Nationals and an all-star team of Ma
tional leaguers to the antipodes came
TO light recently in an interview with

MANAGER WINSOR

Another boxer is wise. Vic Hanson,
well known to Boise fans, has tied the
tinware to his manager, Fred Win
sor. Fans here, especially sporting
writer's, still have fresh recollection
Of Winsor. the manager who put Han
son In bad by his pickering and loud
talking. No doubt Mickey Morton also
remembers him. Hanson has been
heard from and he declared he is his
own manager now. As a manager he
is looking for match for himself in
either Salt Lake or Boise. He Is sched :
ulcd to box 20 rounds with Fritz Hol-
land at Taft. Cal.
Hanson went on here with Jack
Downey to 10-round draw. Downey
had to give weight when he met the
big fellow but Hanson never showed
the sights OF a stiff punch that would
have done the necessary damage. His
showing was due to the coaching given
him by WinsOr. who was at the ring
side. Having discarded Winsor. Han
son will unQuestionably be heard
from in the square ring for he wifi use
his own style Of boxing in the future.

were singers, pianists, ~violinists and

walls were sufficiently resonant they
would be unable to tell whether they
were producing satisfactory tones.
TT appears that there is a great diff
ference in the musical qualities of
flats. Some are so constructed that
they are very sensitive to music. They
give the best results to students and
professionals. When / divide my mu-

Chilblains are far more frequent In

seem that their skin was specially
vulnerable.
They often mark a constitutional
flaw, and must be treated as such and
not as merely a result Of the cold.
Those who know that their circulation
is feeble and that they must expect
an annual visitation of these unpleas-
ant skin ailments should take certain
elementary precautions to minimize
them.
They should avoid exposure to cold
except when taking vigorous exercise;
they should YEA warm gloves and

should be carefully heated, but at the

REVIVING HOME CRAFTS
BY STANDARDIZATION

ufactured in small quantities in the
home from fresh stock grown on the
premises, makes the mouths Of city
epicureans water. Summer vacations
spent in the country are followed by
regrets because it is nearly impossible
to get in the larger cities at least
good homemade products.
The National Home Products league
is sponsor for a scheme to revive
home crafts by Standardization. The
league asserts that the cost Of food
products made in the home is less
than 1t is in the factory, because much
of the time and labor used would
otherwise go to waste. The farmer.
too, If he were q manufacturer as
well as a producer would from the
double profit grow more prosperous.
This it is urged might check the
| abandonment Of farms in the east and
stem the tide Of migratios to the cities.
If all this is true, why have the
great packing houses and other firms
secured a grip upon the markets? One
answer is that the primary require
ment of trade conditions is for q steady
and sure supply of a uniform standard
quality, whereas in the past each fami-
ly produced it's good by it's own recipe
and there was no machinery, as in the
great manufactures that have develop
ed, for insuring a steady dependable
supply.
AS evidence of the possibilities for
such a scheme there is cited the sue
cessful sale, through the cooperation
Of the Woman's exchange of New Or
leans Hf The Nnttnnadnc rnyyn hxy fha
Acadtans in Louisiana, descendants of
those expelled from Nova Scotia. The
product is all inspected and measured
and inferior work discarded. Other
successful ventures are the Log Cabin
settlement in Asheville, N. c., which
manufactures coverlets and rugs, and
the Cottage Industries guild of Allan
stand, N. G. In New Hampshire, at
Pequaket, Carroll county, there is a
prosperous rug making business and
the mothers and daughters industry
Of Plainfield, N. H, is another inter-
esting success
On Cape Cod there is a flourishing
cooperative industry in making and
marketing cranberry sauce. So sue
cessful has this last venture been that
II became necessary to hire a secre-
tary to answer inquiries from other
parts of the country, from people who
wee anxious to start similar ~co-opera-
tive home products associations.
Maurice L. Jacobson, who was a
member Of the industrial commission
sent by the United States to France
and who has been in charge of econ
omic Investigations for the govern
ment, says that the movement if guild
ed by capable leaders will appeal to
middle class sentiment with almost
irresistible momentum. This opinion
is shared by Joseph E. Ralph, whose
efficiency in organization as director
of the United States bureau Of en-
craving and printing, has won him of
fers from n Of the leading govern
ments as we'll as from private en-
ployers. The government finds that
