Carlisle Indians Are
Expected to Shatter
All Existing Records
H, w. HoDGKINS.

With the changes In the football
rules large scores are predict
ed next fall and there Is no
telling where the Carlisle In.
dians will stop. Usually the In
dians run up fifty and sixty
points in their preliminary
games, even under the old
rules. 1t Is believed that next
fall the abOrigines will run
several scores higher than the
century mark, particularly
against Muhlenberg, their first
opponent. Lebanon Valley, too,
may come in for some fIeeting
fame as a figure in q huge
score.

Turner and Mitchell
Each Win One Fall

Young Bumps" Turner and BILLY"
Mitchell wrestled to a draw at the
Lyceum Theater in one of the most
rough and tumble bouts that has
been seen in Washington this sea-
son. Mitchell won the first fall in
forty five minutes and Turner turned
the tables in twenty-five minutes.
The athletes had been performing
about ten minutes when the hour of
midnight arrived and the match was
called in observance of the Sunday
law. No announcement has been made
as to probable continuation Of the
match.

HAINEs IS CONFIDENT

John M. Haines, former mayor of
Boise, and one of the leading candi-
dates for the Republican guberna-
torial nomination, passed through Po-
catello yesterday on a get-acquainted
trip to the towns in the upper valley
of the Snake. To a Tribune man Mr..
Haines said that he felt confident Of
winning the nomination in the COM
ing primaries, and was sure he would
be elected.
"Rumors that have entered into
any sort of combination with other
candidates are absolutely without
foundation in fact" said Mr.. Haines
to Tribune man. 81 am in this
race on my own hook"
"Yes, I feel confident of winning.
My candidacy is being supported by
all classes of people, from laborers
up to business men. 1t seems to be
the general wish that Idaho have a
business administration by a business
man. I am proud to say am in that
class, and promise the people the best
business administration in the states
history"
Mr.. Haines left last night for Ida
no Falls and towns to the north. He
is not fixing any political fences, his
mission being merely to get better
acquainted with the people in this
end of Idaho.

THE BEST SERVICE AT
FAIR RATES

The most valuable tele-
phone service is the service
that makes communication
possible with the greatest
number Of people. That is
the significance Of the term
universal service. The great
Bell System approaches
very nearly this ideal con-
dition. If you have a Bell
Telephone, you are connect
ed with a system that serves
twenty million people. Isn't
that worth while2 ....
And isn't it some satisfac-
ton to know that the rates
youare paying are only su&-
cient to cover operating ex-
penses. and pay a fair rate
Of interest on the investment?
No bonds on which to pay
interest: no water in the
stock: in fact. and here's the
bisthinsthat commends The
Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph Company.
for every dollar Of capital
stock issued, there is $l.l5
invested in plant.
Isn't that eminently fair
to the public.

LICENSE THE MAN WHO DRINKS

The Wallace Times is authority
for the following views on the liq-
our question by Senator Hepburn:
Senator Heyburn's plan to regulate
the liquor traffic, as outlined in
recent speech in the senate and pub
lished in the Press-Times, offers a
new and original solution to the ques-
ton that disturbed the country for
many generations and still remains
unsolved If it Is practical and we
are not prepared to say that it is
not, there is no doubt that it will
greatly reduce the consumption of
liquor and correspondingly increase
the purchase of groceries, clothing
and other things that contribute to
the comfort and pleasure of life. The
number of men who would take. out
a license to drink and thus have their
names entered on public record
would be small compared with. the
host who now exercise the privilege
without restraint. Senator Hepburn
makes the point that it is the, man
who drinks that makes himself a
nuisance and creates disturbance,
not the man who sells the liquor
and therefore he is the man, who
should be taxed. The senator's plan
throughout is interesting and may
lead to the adoption of entirely new
methods of regulating the liquor
traffic. Wallace Times.

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION AT
. LOGAN, UTAH.

Washington, May 27.-The Logan
good roads meeting June IL to IA,
will have the benefit of the govern
ment good roads exhibit, even though
negotiations for the good roads spec
ial train fell through. Arrangements
have been made for the shipment of
a model exhibit from Washington to
Logan should the train arrangements
fail. This exhibit weighs 5000 lbs.
and will be sent by express, accompa-
MED by government road experts.
oooo
Final and definite arrangements
for the installation of the govern
ment's good roads exhibit at the third
annual convention of the Inter-Moun-
tain Good Roads association at Logan
on June 1915 have been completed.
Thanks to the liberality and enter
prise of the passenger department of
the Oregon Short Line, the complete
exhibit will be expressed from Wash
ington to Logan at cost to the rail-
road company of over $1,000.
D. E. Rurley, general passenger
agent of the Short Line, in letter
to William Wallin of this city, Sec
rotary of the Inter-Mountain associa-
ton, urges that every county commits,
sioner in the six states covered by the
association, make it point to be
present at the convention.
In his letter Mr.. Burley says.
Referring to our conference and
previous correspondence regarding
the installation of government exhibit
good roads construction at your next
annual convention at Logan, Utah,
June 1915.
I'm order to assure this exhibits
arrival in time we have had ship
ment made by express with obliga-
ton to return same with other Incl
dental expenses. We trust that the
benefits to be derived are going to
justify this expenditure, which will be
in the neighborhood of $1,000.
In order that the Inter-Mountain
country may get the greatest benefits
from this. exhibit, l would suggest
that you get quick action, and earn
estly urge all county commissioners,
state and county road supervisors to
be in attendance at this convention,
regardless of the fact whether they
have been officially appointed dele
gates or not.
Every state and county official
who has to do with public moneys
should be the ones most deeply inter-
ested in this subject, and trust that
you gentlemen will use every effort
to have this class of officials in at
tendance at this particular conven-
ton, for the reason that future ex-
hibits and expenditures of this char
acter will greatly depend upon the
success of this particular convention"
Auto Parade
Auto men at this end of the line,
and in the upper valley of the Snake,
are making preparations for the big
auto parade which will journey from
Pocatello to the convention city. Pres
ident Theodore Turner of the Idaho
State Automobile association, and of
the Bannock County Auto club, is in
correspondence with the owner of ev-
cry car in this territory, urging that
he take part in the parade.

Changing the Seasons.

The emperor OF China has some strange
duties. One of these is the ordering OF
the seasons. 1t Is summer in America
when the sun warns the earth and not
until then, but in China 1t is summer
when the emperor says it is summer. As
soon as the emperor declares that sum-
mer has come verybody in China puts Oh
winter clothing and arrays himself in
summer gsrb, no matter what his feelings
on the subject may be. All domestic ar
rsngements are made to suit the season as
proclaimed by the emperor, although
they may not suit the individual at ali.
The nearest approach to the Chinese
system of ordering the seasons Is the
practice observed in France in all public
buildings. There it Is winter on and after
Oct. 1. Fires are then lighted in all gov
eminent offices, and the employees ex-
change their white summer waistcoats
for the thicker and darker ones of winter.
At that date the public libraries are closed
at 4, and in the streets the sellers OF
toasted chestnuts make their appearance
In official France it is winter, no matter
what the weather may say and no matter
what unofficial France may think.

Knox Solid For Burieigh.
{ Rockland Courier. Gasette.)

Gov. Burleigh states that he will visit
Rockland next week for the purpose of
meeting our citizens generally and dis
cussing with them his candidacy for the
United States Senate. Gov. Burleigh has
always had many strong political friends
in this vicinity.
Our observation OF the situation as it
has progressed to the present point leads
us to believe that herea bouts he stands well
as compared with other candidates, and
win be at the primaries the choice OF our
people.
We do not mean to misrepresent or un-
dervslue the ability Of the canvass OF
Judge Powers and Mr.. Heath. Both are
able men and held in high regard by their
fellow-republicans; but men for one rea-
son and another come to have q prefer
ence In these matters, and Gov. Burleigh's
previous long and honorable service, his
fine record, ever open to the view Of all
men, his thorough familiarity with affairs
at the national capital and the require.
ments Of Maine and their relation thereto,
equip him for career in the Senate to q
degree that few men in the political his
tory Of our State have ever attained.
We shall be very much surprised IL Gov.
Burleigh does not carry the primaries in
this corner of Maine by handsome ma
iority.

OBITUARY.
WILLIAM II. BRIatMER.

William II. Brimmer, hfe-iong resi-
dent of Ellsworth. and for many years
identified with Its business life, died
Wednesday evening, May ~, at the hos
pital in Bangor. Mr.. Brimmcr was taken
suddenly i'll little over two months ago,
with serious mental disorder. Il was
deemed best for him to enter the hospital
in Bangor for proper care and treatment.
He entered the hospital on March 30.
Mr.. Brimmer was born at the old Brim-
mer homestead on the Msriaville road,
Sept. s, 1s41, the son OF the late John and
Martha Brimmer. OF six children, John
II. Brimmer, of Ellsworth, is the only
survivor. As young man William
worked on the river, and became an ex-
pert ON logs. Stories of his remarkable
skill in og-riding are still told by some
OF the old-time lumb ermen and rivermen.
When a young man, he entered the
Clark 4 Davis store as clerk. Later he en-
tered the shoe store OF Charles B. Par
fridge as clerk, and he had ever since been
identified with the retail shoe business in
Ellsworth.
In March, 1887, his brother, John H.
Brimmer, took him into partnership, buy
ing out the shoe business OF Saunders &
Sargent, the firm name being John H..
Brimmer & TO. This business has been
continued ever since, John H. retiring
from the firm about three years ago, and
William continuing it in his own name.
The business will be continued for the
present by John n. Brimmer.
William Brimmer was OF jovial DISPOSE
ton, with a fund Of stories and remi-
niscences OF the old days OF lssorth,
which made him a local character who
will be greatly missed. He was member
of Leiok lodge, l. o. o. F.
The funeral was held at the home OF his
brother on Pine street Friday afternoon
at o'clock, Rev. r. b. Mathews officiat-
ing. Practically all the business places in
Ellsworth were closed during the hour OF
the services. Intcrment was in the family
lot at Woodbine cemetery.

The friends of ex-Gov. Burleigh,
who appears to be the leading candi-
date for the republican nomination
for United States senator, are greatly
pleased over the progress OF his can
vass during the past week or ten days
in all sections of the State. In an
other column we reprint clipping
from the Rockiand Courier Gazette,
one of the leading and most carefully
edited papers in Maine, which ex-
presses the conviction that Mr.. Bur-
leigh will surely be nominated. 1t is
needless to add that the outlook in
Hancock county is favorable to the
popular ex-governor, as it is in other
sections of the State. Maine cannot
do better than to send this tried and
true Congressman back to Washing
ton.
