XX ELL, what shall we say
wv about the Atlanta baseball
team now? It has cost as
much as the Panama canal: it has
taken as long in the building as
the pyramids Yet it stands at
present next to last and unless 1t
can perform miracles of valor. an
unheard of feat of arms. it will
drop to last place before the end Of
the present week We don't say,
mind YOU that 1t will get last be-
fore Saturdays sun sets-for there
is no accounting for Nashvilles
ability to absorb punishment
we do allege that it will have to do
better this week than it did last to
keep from It,
We have led up, by easy stages.
to the crucial question, to wit;
What's the matter with the Allan
ia team, anyway"
It's question we don't relish
We spent all last season trying to
explain a tafl-end team. and the
.ioh this summer hasn't been mate
rally better.
What's the matter with the
Crackers"
Plenty!
Chiefly, they can't win games for
losing.
Why do they lose?
We don't know The other team
always makes the most runs.
We have spent the last ten years
or thereabouts writing baseball in
the South. and ought to know some
thing about it If we don't, but that's
as close to an explanation as we
can get
THE Crackers face a fearsome
week They must play nine
games in six days with the Biz
mingham and New Orleans teams.
The natural superstition would be
that. as the Crackers lost most OF
those they played last week with
bum clubs, they will lose all to
the good clubs.
Fortunately, however this does
not necessarily follow The Crack
ers are batting Well OF course.
whenever one of their pitchers gets
going they hit a batting slump.
But in the main they are hitting
the ball They made eighteen hits

The marvellous thing about the

got two bases on balls and scored

HOW WILL THEY VOTE.

Representatives j. +. Elmers
and George Stephens will leave
Saturday morning for Boise to
attend the special session of the
legislature. The two gentlemen
seem to be up stump on the
question of a tax commission as
proposed by the Governors new
bill. AT the last session Mr.. Eli
mers and the rest of the republi-
cans heartily supported the Far
min tax commission bill, and Mr..
Stephens and the other democrats
fought it to a finish and finally
succeeded in defeating it, the
Governor being with them in the
fight. Now the shoe is on the
other foot with both representa-
tives. The Governor is at pres
ent advocating a tax commission,
which will of necessity require
the democratic contingent to re-
verse themselves, and support the
commission this time, to keep step
with the acrobatic feats of the
executive. What will the repub-
licans do; play politics, like the
Governor, or vote their senti-
ments?

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 6.-The coun-
ty commissioners state convention
adjourned today to meet here in
December next. While the body
did not go on record there was a
plain majority against the pro-
posed state tax commission. The
convention also opposed the pro-
posed $25O0 tax exemption Oh

SNOW BLOCKADE.

The cold wave which swept
over the entire country, reached
Grangeville last Sunday evening,
and for a few hours the mercury
dropped at an amazing rate Of
speed, reaching IL degrees below
zero by Monday morning, the
coldest in number of years.
Snow fell to the depth Of 10
inches on top of the splendid
foundation already formed. and
sloighing has been fine. The ex-
treme cold only lasted one day,
wht n a chinook set in and blew
the snow into drifts, obstructing
the roads and filling up the rail
road cuts until the High Line
train was unable to reach this
place Monday night. The train
got stuck about five miles west
of town, and in it's efforts to
buck through the drifts in front,
occupied so much time that the
wind closed up the avenue of re-
treat and it has been unable to
get either way since. 1t is now
thought it will take until to-
night, Thursday, to dig the train
out. Word comes at this time
from Agent Bell that the delay
ed train is expected to be re-
leased in time to reach Grange
vile this evening and will start
back at once for Lewiston. A
train with mail and passengers
will leave Lewiston for Grange
vile at this afternoon which
is expected to arrive about II
o'clock.
There have been four engines
stuck in the snow between
Grangeville and Cottonwood
since Monday night, the passen.
ger with two engines, the freight
train and the relief train with
one engine each.
There are now IS men at work
shoveling snow to release the
trains in the cuts, 10 wood chop
pers from Mt. Idaho, Is men
from Grangeville and the rest
from outside points. The fifteen
men were all that were available
from this place which speaks well
for conditions here.
Teams went out from town fol
passengers and mail Tuesday
forenoon, and no mail has ar
rived here since.

and is fitting the old dining room
up for the bar.
Fen Batty has fitted up the old
Oregon Saloon corner, from
which My Store recently remov-

block, and is having it fitted up
in good shape to be occupied
soon with his new saloon.

SOLD FORTY MULES.

Thomas Wren, of the firm of
Wren & Greenough, sold forty
head of mules with harness, last
Saturday at their ranch west Of
Grangeville, to Pat Welsh, the
well known Spokane railroad
contractor. The animals were
brought in to George Smith s liv-
cry barn and were to have been
shipped out Tuesday morning to
Prince Rupert, on the Canadian
coast, where Mr.. Welsh has a
railroad contract, but the big
snow storm delayed the ship
ment. While the exact figures
are not made public, it is under
stood the price paid for the stock
was a good one. This still leaves
the firm of Wren & Greenough,
it is said, something like 125
head of the grading stock which
they shipped in here last year,
exclusive of the farm stock, sc
nobody need take fright at this
sale, and conclude that railroad
contracting and construction work
is entirely off with the local con.
tracing company in this section
of the country.

NEW FIRM ARRIVES.

j. II. Abbott, proprietor of the
new store, and Manager Brown
and Miss Rayner, arrived here
on last Saturday evenings s train
from the north. The old Foster
building is being re-arranged in
side ready for the placing of the
goods which are rolling in much
faster than they can be cared
fer. The date of opening has
not yet been fixed, but the new
firm wishes to state that that
event will be definitely announc-
ed the first of next week, with
such other details as may be
thought desirable. In the mean
time they request the public to
keep in mind the fact of their
presence and that their advent in
Grangeville will mean much to
the purchaser and the community
generally.

IDAHOCOUNTY
POULTRY SHOW
Opened up January 10th.
Good Attendance and
Fine Exhibits.

The second annual meeting of
the Idaho County Poultry show
opened up Wednesday at the To-
cal skating rink, which had been
fitted up in excellent shape. A
good exhibit of birds, most of
them Idaho county products were
in evidence. The outside ex-
hibits of which there were to
have been a large number from
Lewiston, Charleston and other
points, running up to between
go and 80, were prevented from
arriving on account of the snow
blockade which prevented the
train arriving for three days.
Nevertheless the local officers
and exhibitors are well pleased
with the show, which is now get
ting under good headway and
is billed to run until Saturday
Results will be given next week.

RICH ORE SAMPLES.
Martin Wagner brought

Martin wagner brought up
some rich samples of ore from the
Evergreen mine, 5 miles east Of
Grangeville, Tuesday, that are
certainly as thoroughly mineral
lied as anything that has shown
up in this town for a long time.
Messrs. Wagner and Kincaid are
sending off this week something
like a dozen samples for assay
ing, on which excellent returns,
running away up into the hun
dreds, is expected. The Ever
green and Dewey properties are
counted among the most prOmis-
ing mines in Idaho county, and
their proximity to Grangeville
and the railroad make them OF
special interest here.

NO DEMONSTRATION TRAIN

The snow blockade prevented
the arrival of the University
Demonstration train Wednesday
at this place as scheduled, which
means that we are cut out entire
ly from the visit.
The blockade also prevented
all outside poultry from appear
ing at the Idaho County Poultry
show, thus lessening the atten-
dance and interest.

FIRST NATIONAL MEETING.

The annual meeting of the
stockholders Of the First Nation
al bank was held January 9th,
at which time some important
changes were made. The old
board of directors, consisting of
Wallace Scott, j. P. Vollmer, A.
N. Dyer, A. S. Hardy and Judge
j. f. Ailshie, was reelected and
the board increased from five to
seven members. S. A. Anderson
was chosen as the sixth director
and the seventh member will be
selected by the board. The res
ignation of Martin Wagner, as
cashier was accepted and S. A.
Anderson, who has been with the
institution for some time past,
was made cashier. The officers
named are as follows: Wallace
Scott, president; j. p. Vollmer,
vice-president; s. A. Anderson,
cashier; A. N. Dyer, assistant
cashier.
Mr.. Wagner's resignation was
made particularly on account of
numerous other interests demand
ing his entire attention. Resolu-
tions of appreciation covering
Mr.. Wagner long service and
faithfulness to the institution
were adopted by the board.
Mr.. Anderson, the new cashier,
already familiar to many patrons
Of the bank, has had many
years experience in the banking
dine. He has marked individuality
and sound business judgment and
came to this community from
Spokane with the highest rec
concentrations. He is a pleasing
gentleman to meet and will no
doubt make many friends for the
First National.
