In Jerry Akers Griffith has a counter
part of Jack Chesbro. The twirler draft

Jack Ryan. the veteran catcher, who
will accompany the Nationals to Char

through the training period. Ryan wants
to get himself in good condition, and IL

spell appears to be general throughout
the country. for some of the teams who
went to the far south have been unable
to do any practcing because of the cold.

Remarkable Record

'r-'Ca LAZY ~tfhntl
When a section OF country and
its conditions displeased only
one out of 1900, surely that par
ticular section must be about
the very best on earth, and that
is exactly what has happened in
this neck O. the woods.
Perhaps you don't believe it
but We have the proof. A. E.
Wise. one of the engineers in the
employ of the Mainland interests
gathering statistics and data in
connection with the proposed
Interurban railway TO be built
from Boise west, declares it to
be an absolute fact. In his off
cial interviews he canvassed the
heads of 1900 families between
Weiser and Boise and only one
expressed any dissatisfaction
with the country and conditions
in general. And that one is a
resident Of Oregon.
Mr. Wise, whose home is in
Boise, says it is the most remark
able case on record, and had be
not personally visited these
homes and studied conditions
he would certainly be dispute it
All we're prosperous and happy
and especially brilliant over the
outlook for the future.

nary hearing and was held for the
action of the grand jury at the COM

have been the result of feud that
existed between the two negroes for
a long time. Passing the home of
Brooks between and 5 O'Clock We'd
