FIGHTERS ARE HARD
At WORK TRAINING
FOR COMING FIGHT

The Shrader- Belshaw boxing exhi-
bition to take place at Forest park
next Friday night is looked upon by
fans here as one of the most promis-
ing bouts in the welterweight class
that has ever been billed in local fam
dom. The men are evenly matched, of
about the same build and weight,
clean cut and make excellent appear
ances. They are in the boxing game
to make record, understand 1t from
a boxing standpoint, are good gen.
erals in the ring and clean fighters.
Belshaw Is working at the Nata-
torium and the local boys who have
been facing him declare he can deliver
the goods. Fans will have an oppor-
Itunity to look him over tomorrow aft
ernoon and Shrader will probably work
at the same place for their benefit so
they can size up both men. Shrader
is boxing with the troopers at the
barracks and getting all the sparring
he can handle, the fighters with Uncle
Sam stepping into the ring with him
for short bouts.
Road work 10 one of the features Of
the training camps of both men and
they spend several hours working hard
by taking long runs and walks
When interviewed Belshaw stated
that he has not fought in this coun-
try as yet, but 10 anxious to go on.
He came here from Helena and will
probably return to that city after his
match with Shrader to meet several
OF the local boys there.

The season OF 1912 was hard one
for major league veterans, many of
whom were knocked out OF the spot
light by Old Father Time. Perhaps
never before We're SO many stars of the
diamond retired from the big leagues
in q single season.
One of the first to fall blythe wayside
in 1912 was Old Cy Young. Before the
season was half over the famous old
veteran was convinced that his days of
usefulness on the diamond We're fin
ished and he retired to his Ohio farm,
never again to be seen in big league
baseball.
Young, however, was not the only
star pitcher to retire from major league
baseball in 1912. Mordecai Brown of
the Cubs and Wild Bill Donovan of the
Tigers are other former prize twirlers
who Tipped their last big league games
in the season just passed. An injury
to his leg helped to shorten the career
of Brown, but Donovan played out his
string and ended the season as mana
ger of the Providence team. Wild Will
liam pitched for the Brooklyns before
the American league ever threatened to
invade the east.
KickapOo Eddie Sommers, also of the
Tigers, was another pitcher of more
than ordinary ability who was lassoed
by Father Time last season. A sore
wing assisted Pop in Sommers' case.
Cy Morgan the Cross Roads cut-up of
the Athletics, was another capable
mound artist to take Brodie out of
the majors. Cy was sent to Kansas
City by Connie Mack, but went into
vaudeville instead.
Other lesser lights on the hurting
hill to turn In their big league uni
forms last season were King Cole, the
boy wonder who led the National

PUBLIC UTILITY
BILLS NUMEROUS
At THE SESSION
Many Members Are at Work
on Measures Which Will
Be Presented When Leg
islature Convenes.

There will be more railroad COM
mission and public utilities bills intro
duced at the next session of the leg
islature than in the history of every
other session. This is evident from
the fact that authentic reports have
reached Boise to the effect that mem
bers- elect from many of the counties
are working on bills while others not
members Of the legislature are active
along this line, including, it is said.
some of the representatives of rail-
roads and public utilities. That a
public utility bill will be passed is now
conceded for it is claimed that the
coming legislature will not dare to
throttle a bill of this kind, as the
senate of the last session did twice
,aftek the measures had been passed
by the house.
Real and False Teeth.
The fight on the measure will not be
to prevent its passage entirely, but
to pass a measure that will either have
real teeth in it or one with a false
set. In other words, it is set forth
that the corporation influences pro-
pose that if bill of this kind must
be passed it would be wise to gently
sible while the real public utility
commission advocates propose to see
that the measure sent to the governor
is one that is as perfect as posi-
BILE with real teeth in 1t for use when
needed.
1t is understood here that the Bonne-
vile delegation will have a railroad
bill, the Bonner county delegation will
have another, the Washington county
Canyon counties will probably have
similar bills, while numerous other
counties will be in line
Representative Frank d. Ryan, OF
Washington county, announces that he
Is working on a measure. In an inter-
view he said: Il am not only in favor
of a railroad commission in Idaho

Balkan Delegates Confer.

London, Dec. 1.-THE Times con-
firms the report that the Balkan dele
gates held formal meeting last night,
exchanged views on the entire situa-
ton, and established perfect unity
of purpose in regard to the approach
ing negotiations.
The Times considers II improbable
that Roumania will be admitted to the
ambassadorial conference because it
says. this would necessitate inviting
the Balkan ministers, thus turning an
informal into a formal conference.
A dispatch to the Times from Con-
stantinople says the correspondent
learns that the Ottoman plenipo-
tentiaries were instructed to propose
to the Balkan allies that the Greek
plenipotentiaries be invited to join In
the negotiations with the other dele
gates in order to save time.
II the Greeks acquiesce, the confer
ence will be held without the Greeks
signing the armistice, otherwise Tur-
key will regard Greece as having Sc
coded from the Balkan league.

TO ASK FOR AN
INCREASE IN THE
PRICE Of WATER
Blaine County Irrigation
Project Affairs Will Be
Taken UP by the Land
Board Monday.

The Blaine county irrigation project
affairs will be taken up by the state
land board Monday, a decision to that
effect having been reached by the land
board at it's meeting yesterday. when
John S. Parks of Howe, Blaine county.
appeared before the board and ask ed
for hearing.
The hackers OF the project propose to
build a new reservoir, to be known
as the Stevens, to take the place Of
the old reservoir. which leaks badly,
and will not hold water in sufficient
amount to irrigate all the lands under
the project. The company wishes to
secure an increase of SIS per acre for
the water, and will ask the board to
grant this. The issue was before the
board some time ago when the COM
pany officers were given permission
to go among the settlers, and, if posi-
BILE, secure their Endorsement of the
plan to increase the water right price
in order to raise funds to build the res
ervoir. There are between 10 and so
settlers on the project, and all Of them
have signed for the raise in price with
the exception of but a few. This con-
dition of affairs will be reported to
the poaru, anu IL is very pFopdpie liidt
the increase will be granted, with the
understanding that those settlers on
the project, who refused to sign for ii,
cannot be forced to.
The old reservoir is said to have
been virtually put out of commission
through the efforts made to clean it,
with the result some OF the dirt was
removed, exposing gravel bed.
