ATHLETIC CLUB TO
BACK BASEBALL
Local Team to be Run under Aus
pices of American Falls Ath-
letic Association.
WILL HAVE STRONG TEAM
A Number of Good Players Now in
Club and Others Have Promised
To Join-Outlook is Very Prom
ising.

The American Falls Athletic club
has about decided to put a base
ball team in the field this summer.
AT meeting of the mem bers held
at the Falls Pharmacy on Monday
evening the majority of those pres
ent favored such action. and as the
club has received quite a bit of
outside encouragement, they will
no doubt stick to their intention.
Every indication points toward
the organization of a formidable
team. Many members of the club
are excellent players and a number
OF other players have signified their
intention of joining and trying out
The members of the team will be
required to purchase their suits,
gloves and shoes. The club will
provide balls and bats, a place to
play, and pay all necessary travel
ing expenses.
AS a grandstand will have to be
built. The club decided to petition
the board of trade to build the
stand now that will later have to be
built for the races at the fair in
the fall. If the commercial organi-
zation will do this now in time for
the team to use it during the base
ball season, the club will turn over
the entire contents of its treasury,
$65, saved from the bask ball re-
ceipts OF the past winter, toward
the cost of building the stand.
The baseball playing field is just
east of the railroad track and is on
ground held under lease by DR..
West. A committee was appointed
to see about procuring the use of
the grounds, and other routine mat
ters attendant upon the starting of
the game here. Cams will be sch ed
uled with all the neigh boring towns
thar aie to r,ay.

SENATOR DAVIS HOME AGAIN
senator Was Successful in Secur-
ing About Everything He
Wanted.

Senator d. w. Davis and family
arrived home from Boise this morn
ing. They were accompanied by
David Burrell, chief clerk of the
House, and o. H. Barber, who will
return to their labors tomorrow.
Senator Davis is conceded to have
been more successful in securing
the passage of legislation in which
he was interested than any other
Senator, and was one of the strong
men of the upper house. During the
closing days he took the leadership
in the passage of administration
measures, and to him is due a very
large measure of credit for the pas
sage of the public utilities bill,
the most important measure intro
duced as this session. The Power
County bill, is the one for which he
will be best remembered at home,
but many other bills bear the i'm
press of his personality. He was su
cessful in passing a bill through the
senate appropriating $4,000 to re-
pair the bridge across Snake river
at American Falls, but it reached
the lower house during the closing
days when the rules could not have
been suspended to adopt the Lords
Prayer, and the bill did not reach
a vote The bridge bill is about
the only one of a long list in which
the Senator was interested that did
not pass.

THE LEGISLATURE
IS ADJOURNED
Twelfth Idaho Assembly Goes In
to History This week With
a Good Record.
IMPORTANT BILLS PASSED
Measures Enacted That Will Be
Of Great Good to the People of
the Gem State. Important acts
of Session.

n The legislature just closed passed
"a number of measures of more than
usual Importance. some of which
Will leave far reaching effects fOr
good. The one attracting the most
attention is the Public Utilities bill
creating a commission to supervise
the operation of public utilities and
to regulate service and charges with
in the state.
Of equal importance is a new revs
nue. and taxation measure, drafted
by the special tax commission which
was appointed year and a half
since to make an exhaustive examin-
alton and draft bill which would
more nearly equalize taxes.
"A public highway bill appropria-
ting 100000 for state roads meets
with general favor. This fund is
not raised by general taxation, but
is derived from a special tax on
automobiles. Congress was mem
Orialized to grant $4,000 acres of
timber and agricultural lands to
the state to be used to aid in build
ing good roads Other measures
in the interest of good roads were
passed.
Appropriations were held to the
limit and few special appropriations
bills were passed. Measures to
secure the greater ECONOMY in the
administration were enacted, and
small leaks here and there were
stopped which it is estimated will
save thousands of dollars every
month.
The legislature has met with crit
icism in some quarters for fritter-
laws enacted shows a larger num-
ber of constructive measures than
have passed any previous session.
A state board of control, to have
charge of the management of all
state schools. is another very impOr,>
ant measure, and will result in
great saving.
A workingmans compensation act
failed on a tie vote in the senate.
Bills creating a Carey Act COM
mission and state purchasing |
agent were vetoed because of faulty
The record of the legislature as
a whole is good, and but for the |
time consumed in electing two Unit
ed States senator's, other important
measures would have become law.

The banquet was in the nature of
celebration over the creation of
Power county which has been a
bone of contention at each legisIa-
tive gathering for the last eight
years. Senator Davis succeeded in
putting it over at the present ses-
sion and gave the grand spread as a
token of his appreciation of the
loyal support given this bill in both
houses.
goodly array of legislative ora
tors were called upon to voice their
sentiments and sparkling wit and
jests at the expense of the host
and each other cam in rapid sue
cession. Lieutenant Governor Tay-
lor, who occasionally presides over
the senate, acted as POSTMASTER in
his usual inimitable way. For each
speaker as his name was called Mr..
Taylor had a number of clever re-
marks on tap.
Senator Davis was first called
upon. In a few words he told of
how glad he was to see his friends
gathered around the festive board,
and told of his appreciation for theiS
help in getting the Power county
bill through.

A MEDICINE THAT DOES NOT COST ANYTHING UNLESS IT
 CURES.

The active medicinal ingredient of Rexall Orderlies which is odorless, tasteless and colorless is a compara . lively new discovery. Combined with other extremely valuable ingredients 1t forms a perfect bowel regulator, in testinal invigorator and strengthener. Rexall Orderlies are eaten like candy and are notable for their agreeable ness to the palate and gentleness of action. They do not cause griping or any disagreeable effect or inconven- fence.
 Unlike other preparations for 8 like purpose. they do not create a habit. but instead they act to over come the cause of habit laxatives through the use of ordinary laxatives cathartics and harsh physic. and per manently remove the cause of con- stipation or irregular bowel action.
