Was a Girl Stag Party

Wednesday evening company
of young ladies of Boomers Ferry
donned the wearing apparel of
their brothers, fathers and in some
instances, neighbors, and behind
carefully locked doors and thor
oughly screened windows enjoyed
for several hours real masculine
stag" party. No hint of the
doins" has been divulged but it
has been given out by good author
ity that beer and cigarettes played
q prominent part in the evenings
merrymaking. 1t has been care
fully explained however that the
beer was only soda pop and the
cigarettes were fakes. The girls
not only assumed masculine attire
but also selected real mannish
names and for the evening were
Bill, Pete" Tom, Slim
etc.

MORE ABOUT THAT BALL GAME
sssstiss Editor Of The Spokesman.
Review Gives ssEdpsiss ! jolt

Ever since the Eonuere Perry
Standpoint baseball game OF Gun,
day, July co. fans of both towns
have been discussing the decision
of Umpire Bush in calling balk
on Sandpoint's pitcher, Navarro,
when he failed to complete throw
to second base. The Standpoint
Pend d Oreille Review gave an
instance of a similar play and gave
as an authority that Bush was in
error the answer to a query sent to
the Denver, Colo, Sporting News.
Last week some fans kept the
sporting editor of the Spokesman
Review busy with queries in re-
gard to the decision mentioned
above. The following was printed
in Sundays Spokesman-Review
An article printed in The
Spokesman Review Monday morn
day morning of a ball game in
Boomers Ferry, in which the Sand
point team left the field rather
than submit to an umpire's de-
cision, has aroused no end of COM
ment and the editor of this depart
ment has been flooded with all
sorts of replies and counter replies.
There is only one interesting point
in the whole mess to the writer.
The umpire was correct in forfeit
ing the game if team refused to
accept his decision, whether it was
right or wrong, and the Standpoint
team was guilty of very babyish
tactics in withdrawing. TIL e
brand of ball played in the small
towns of the Spokane country is
unusually good and it is high time
that the boys who play it should
realize that tricks of this sort are
the 'bushiest" imaginable. How
ever, the real point of interest is
that the umpire awarded two run
ners bases when Navarro bluffed q
throw to second base without
throwing, alleging balk. Care
full perusal of the balk rules will
not justify the umpire in such a
decision.

THE FATS WERE
VICTORIOUS
Won Baseball Game From Leans By q
Score Of 28 to IL
Last Sunday
MCGUIRE WAS A STAR PLAYER
New Baseball Material Discovered as
Result Of Came

BY a score of 20 to IL the Fats
defeated the Leans in the baseball
game played on the Eagle park
grounds last Sunday afternoon.
The game was witnessed by good
sized crowd. The proceeds of the
game were donated to the Boomers
Ferry band.
The features of the game were
too many for any one man to have
remembered but if errors had been
allowed to count the same as scores
there is no doubt but that the
Leans would have easily won the
game.
Considering that many of tho
players of both teams had never
played a game of ball before it is
not surprising that it required
about three hours to play six inn
ings. Kinnear, the slab artist for
the Fats was the mainstay of the
team and he was ably backed by
Mcguire who has had several
fiattering offers this week to try
out as catcher for some of the
major leagues. Mcguire was
strong at batting and connected
for four hits out of FIVE times at
bat. Mcguire and Simonds both
hit for three bags during the game.
Palmer pitched for the Leans
during the first three innings and
then Campbell and Caustor
followed in their efforts to fan the
representatives of the beef trust
But there was nothing doing, the
big fellows showed surprising
ability to connect with the horse
hide and weren't even slow when
II came to base running.
The Fats reaped a harvest Of
runs in the third inning and
fifteen men went to bat before the
side was retired. A total Of
eleven runs were made. These
runs tied the score the Leans hav-
ing been in the lead before. In
the sixth inning the Fats got busy
with the bats again and made ten
more scores.
H. L. Medbury umpired the
game and before the first inning
had been played the players were
given a fair inkling that he was
running the game The Leans
claim that Medbury played traitor
and claim that with another UNI
pire they are willing to put up
hundred dollars that they can bea
the Fats.

PROJECT STILL HAS OPPOSITION
Many Now Favor Plan That We're
Opposed Before

The matter of securing the con-
solidation of Independent School
District No. 4 and School District
No. IA has not been dropped in
spite of the opposition which de-
veloped when the first petition for
consolidation was circulated some
six, weeks ago for presentation to
the board of county commissioners
at its meeting July IA. Although
the county commissioners have
taken no action in the matter of
rejecting or approving the first
petition many of the parents of
both districts are now actively en-
gagged in the circulation of another
petition which is to be presented
in lieu of the first petition which
the board will be asked to reject.
1t i S claimed that more than
half of those who at first opposed
consolidation are now in favor of
it after having had certain points
explained upon which there had
been misrepresentation and no
definite Interpretation. The new
petitions are being circulated by
Mrs. Wells and DR.. Moore among
the residents of District No. IA.
After the canvass of School District
No. IA has been made the petition
will be circulated in Independent
School District No. a.
The new petition for consolida'
ton contains very specific and
bin ding conditions. The first i:
that the county commissioner:

TO REGULATE
SPEED OF AUTOS
Village Board Considering New 0rdia-
ance No Tying Of Teams on
Main Street
ORDER SLOUGH TO BE FILLED
Offer to Settle With Cement Sidewalk
Contractors

lie VllldSt DOdIu OF II JUSTICES arc
now engaged in preparing an or
dinance having to do with the
regulating of the speed of all
vehicles on the streets of the town.
According to the ordinance now
under consideration no team or
automobile will be allowed to
travel at a speed faster than IL
miles an hour and special provi-
sions are to be made regulating
the turning of corners. The pro-
posed ordinance will also regulate
the standing of teams on Main
street and will prohibit the tying
of all teams on the main business
thoroughfare.
At the Tuesday night meeting
of the board it was decided that
the council should act as a COM
mittee of the whole and inspect
the streets of the town in order to
determine just what street repair
work should be taken up and how
much money should be spent on
each particular section. I h e
amount needed for repair work
exceeds greatly the sum available
for this purpose.
1t was decided by the board that
blacklist containing names OF
parties to whom the saloons shall
not sell Intoxicating liquors should
be removed and that all whose
names are on this list should be
put on probation. A new black
list will be prepared at the discre-
ton of the mayor and the marshall
as necessity seems to demand.
The street and sidewalk com.
mittee was authorized to see to il
that all weeds on the streets of the
village were cut down.
A communication from Attorney
4. w. Wheelan, of Standpoint
representing the firm of Donaldson
& Wilson, cement walk contract
ors, in which the city was asked tc
pay the contractors the sum o
$500 and release them from al
further obligations in regard t.
the sidewalks on Main stree
which they constructed as
summer, was considered by tn,
board and the street and sidewalks
committee was instructed to Offer
in settlement the sum of $1,000
which was to be accepted as pay
ment in full of all claims of Don
aldson & Wilson. According t,
the engineer figures the town il
in debt to Donaldson & Wilson t
the extent of some $2,095 but tn,
work done was not satisfactory anC
some of it will have to be done
over and the board figures tina
this work can be done and the side

least three years with the sun

Another provision requires that
al the bonding election the legal
voters OF the consolidated district
shall vote on the question. Shall
the seventh aud eighth grades at
tend the union high SCHOOL," the
petition also requires that the new
board OF trustees shall be required
to use all OF as much thereof as
shall be deemed necessary, of the
additional apportionment which
will be received from the county
under Section O. of the Idaho
school laws, to pay the cost of
transportation of those pupils in
the district who live in remote
parts of the consolidated district.
This school law referred to provides
that the consolidated school dis
tricts may receive $500 for every
high school teacher, over and
above the regular apportionment
which would mean that the con-
solidated district would have at its
disposal some 50, 700 which it
would not otherwise receive for
the purpose of defraying transporta-
ton expenses.
Among the more important of
the provisions of the petition is the
eleventh which requires that the
location of the union high school
building shall be left to COM
mission composed of the Com
missioner of Education of the
State of Idaho, the president of
the Idaho State University and the
president of the Lewiston State
Normal school. In case any one
of these three could not act then
the remaining two are to select a
third member of the commission.
If two of the above could not act
then the commission shall be
chosen by the heads of families OF
the districts, one to be elected by
the heads of families of School Dis
trSct No. IA, one to be elected in q
similar manner in District No. 4
and the third to be chosen by the
first two members. All of the
commissioners must be disinterested
non-residents. The petition fur
ther provides that the proposed
commission must select site from
the following three locations: first
the Frank Richardson block
second, the site below the Spokane
International railway tracks; third
the level property on the North
side which is directly in line with
Main street and which is known a.
the Fred McColl acreage.
One of the last provisions Of
the petition states that in event
the present bond of $4,000 in
District No IA is held to be valid
and the money is secured therefor
and that the contemplated bond
election for the additional sos, 00(
fail, then the school trustees o.
the consolidated district shall use
all of the aforesaid $40, 900 on the
Northside in what is now known
as School district No IA.
1t is understood that severa
heads of families in both districts
are still opposed to consolidation
and that remonstrance against thu
above petition will be circulated
and presented to the board o
county commissioners. The situa
ton has been threshed out care
fully by both those in favor of ant
opposed to the consolidation move
and from expressions heard anon
the various heads of families it
more than likely that the preser
! petition will be signed by larg
majority.
