Big Rabbit
Drive Saturday

The meeting called tor Monday
at three o'clock in the CONNER
cial club rooms was held accord
ing to appointment and the pro-
position of having a big drive
was discussed. Several represen-
tatives from Marion were present
and after discussing the matter
short time il was decided to hold
the drive conformity on Saturday
next.
At present there are two cor
rails with proper wings erected,
one at Marion and one at North
Oakley, 1t is proposed to make
the first drive at Marion. All the
Oakley people are requested to
meet at the Oakley Post office at
10 O'Clock and from there all go
to the west boundary line of O.
P. Bates field and then drive
north to the corral. while the
Marion people will drive from the
lower country up. After this
drive is made all will go to north
Oakley at the terminus OF Center
Street and will there line up for
another drive to the corral erect
ed down there,
In the meantime it will proba-
bly, be arranged for another cor.
raj to be erected south of town
so that later drive can be held
IN that direction. 1t makes little
difference where the rabbits are
killed so long as that work goes
on as their destruction is benefi-
cial to all alike.

Main Street
Corner Sold.
NEW BUILDING TO BE ERECTED
DURING SUMMER.

The corner lot on Main and
Center Streets, known as the
Snake River Implement Lot, and
owned by l.. w. Robbins was
sold to VIM. H. Poulton short
time ago for better than SO, 500.
Mr.. Poulton expects to con-
struct modern building upon
the property during the coming
summer if present plans carry
which will be rented for purposes
other than that for which the lot
is now used. any how the the
public is assured that the corner
will undergo a great change in
way of buildings in the not far
distant future.
This is one of the best corners
in the town and it has been
greatly deserving of better inn
provements than those now upon
1T which change will be agreeable
to the people of the town.
There is some talk of providing
adequate quarters for the Com
mercial Club, where banquets and
socials of different kinds can be
be held and if some assurance
from the club is Forthcoming that
such a place would be taken by
them undoubtedly a building
would be erected to suitably pro
vide for such quarters.
Should a building of this kind
be constructed Mr.. Poulton
would make provision else where
tor the Implement Company.

Put a ban on
Boxing.
PRIZE FIGHTs MAY BE PROHIBITED

Boise, Jan. l6.-Boxing con-
tests will be unlawful in Idaho if
a bill introduced by Storey Of
Ada in the House Of representa-
tives yesterday morning is pass
ed by the lawmakers.
The Bill submitted by Storey
provides for an amendment to
section 1857 of the penalcodes of
the state, the amended portions
being emphasized in heavy type
in the following paragraph:
"Sectlon 6957. Every person
who engages in, instigates, en-
courages, or promotes, any ring
or prize fight, or any other pre-
mediatated fight or contention
(without deadly weapon), or
any boxing exhibition, glove
contest, or other contest with
the fists, either as principal, aid,
second, umpire, surgeon or other
wise. is punishable by imprison.
ment in the Idaho state penlten-
tiary not less than one year and
not exceeding two years.
''All acts or parts Of acts in
conflict with this act are hereby
repealed"
Storey's Bill, which he intro
duced by request, besides putting
the ban on boxing contests and
other contests of a like nature.
also amends the former law by
precribing a minimum term of
imprisonment in case of convict
ion. ThessoriRinal law contains
only a maximum, that of not ex-
ceeding two years, but the Storey
amendment would insert clause
providing for a minimum of not
less thon one year in the state
penitentiary.

C.S.A. Team
Sweep
ing Victory.
WINS Four GAMES.

The Cassia Stake Academy
Basket Ball team which left here
on thursday last for southeast
ern Idaho towns returned today
with colors Flying.
Their hrst game was on Friday
night with the Pocatello Acad-
emy, which resulted in score OF
"a to 25. From the report sent
IN the boys were treated to
dirty game at this place. The
umpire i'll the first half handed the
boys some jolting decisions which
raised their ire to such an extent
that could they have gotten him
outside the building he would
have received a good drubbing.
In the latter half Prof. Andrews
took hold OF things and through
his just decisions they won the
game
From There they went to Black
foot and PLAYED on Monday night
with a resulting score of 20 to 4S
Tuesday night the Rigby team
met them which was easily won
by score of 16 to 49,.
Wednesday night they matched
up with Rexburg. the team that
was here a few weeks ago, and
were successful in winning the
game by 16 to 21.
At all the places they were given
a clean game except at Pocatello
and III all cases they won every
thing.
This is the first swing made by
the boys and the sweepstakes
taken is deserving of much credit.
The teams thev met were m mongst
the leading teams of the state
and their victory places the local
team in the top ranks of Basket
Ball players.
With this kind of record loom
up before the state schools it will
bring many teams this way here
after and gives the school and the
boys as we'll boost that they
could not have reached any other
way.
Such a victory is enough to
warrant the boys in coming up
against any of our state or ad-
joining State High Schools.
Just raise your hat to the boys
from now on. They deserve it.
The names of the players who
made the trip and the positions
each held is: Wallace Mcbride,
Left Forward; Ivan Holt, Right
Forward; Sol Clark, Left Guard;
parley Kotch, Right Guard !;
Archie Hale, Center, and Clifford
Tolman, Sub. Prot. Andrews,

ing of a country newspaper.
A general discussion followed
which was. very interesting to
newspaper men.
Friday morning paper writ
ten bv Henry Gable OF Idaho
Falls was read by Atty, Harris,
former newspaper man, but

THEY ARE WRONG.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
| became engaged to a young
man the second week in July, ana
we love each with the deepest ana
cleanest and most holy love that Is
in existence between a man and
woman, and nothing except death
can separate us. This young man
is in business for himself, and
needs every cent he makes. Now
on account of this, ii is impossl-
BILE for him to buy me a ring, ana
on account of this my parents DO
not believe that he will keep his
word, and do not trust him. Ihey
promised to make a party in honor
of nv engagement, but they refuse
to do so. as my parents state that
II will be a shame for them to in
troduce their child 20 our friends
and family as being a bride when
have no sign of being one-that
is. ] have no ring. Now. l argue
with them, that at this time he
has no ring to give because OF the
condition of his business, and that
the sign l have of being engaged
Is in my haart-my great and holy
love for him-and likewise, his for
me. but they do not listen to me,
and they nag and nag, until / feel
that | will break down.
LOVE BLESSED.
The ring is only a symbol Girl
have been wooed and won, and beel
happy wives till death without eithe
an engagement or wedding ring.
Retain your faith in him, and, sine
a party without the ring would EN-
barrass your parents, refuse to hav
the party.
That, also, is unnecessary to req

Dear Miss Fairfax:


About nine months ago ! met
young man six years my senior,
He called on me once every two
weeks and promised TO call every
week within few more weeks. He
has told me he loves me or he
would not call to see me, as he
lives quite some distance from me.
Now, as he has not spoken to me
about any engagement, ! am at
loss as to what his intentions are.
| have many chances but do not
care to have the young men call
on account of this other gentleman,
and since l love this young man
very much | do not care to give
him up unless l find out that he
has no serious intentions and so
Is wasting my time. Would 1t be
proper TO ask him his intentions?
z. H,
You are making the mistake of let
ting him monopolize your time wher
he hasn't the right. Let him occasion
ally and another man there. Civ

leaned over and kissed her impulsively.

young lady several years my Junior.
Not having been properly intro
duced, the young lady refused every
attention, nor would she inform me
what her city address is. can get
her address from a family who
were stopping at the same resort,
but would not like to call on her
without permission to do so, as
fear II would only offend her.
Introduction is almost impossi-
BILE. as do not know her friends.
Y. Y.
II no other way offers, write to he

YOU hope TO be. Give her names 0
friends who will vouch for you, and asI
her, if under the circumstances, she viii
not waive formality and grant you tn

YOU ARE A FOOLISH BOY.

I have been paying attention to a
lady with whom ] am not in love,
but l think she loves me. as she al
ways wants me to call on her. She
is so years of age and I am 20.
She is worth $50, 900. Do you think
it is right for me to call regularly
and see her? RALPH p
If you have any self-respect left you
will never call again. If the woman
liked you as son, and you regarded
her as you would a friend of your
mother, your intercourse would be mu-
tually pleasant and profitable. But
the manner in which you speak of her
proves this is not the case.
Go to work with your hands and
brain TO make your own fortune, and
when you talk of love let it be in con-
nection with a girl suitable to be your
wife

RETURN 1T, OF COURSE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:


l was going with a girl for the
last two years secretly, but lately.
when l returned from my vacation
| was surprised to notice that she
tried TO avoid me as much as pos
sible. Therefore. l resolved to 90
with another girl. This made her
angry, and she asked me to re.
turn her handkerchief, which | re.
ceived from her two years ago.
Do you think have treated her
right, and is it proper for me to
return the handkerchief?
G. r. F.
You did not treat her right when 70,
went with her secretly. No man hon
ors the girl he courts that way.
If she resents it, she is right Re
urn her gift if you want the affair t,
end; if not, go to her, make up, an
treat her better.
