ARE WILLING To
co HALF WAY BUT
NOT BIT FARTHER
Gilmore Thinks Peace Would be
Best Interests of Game.
ShankS of Washington
Among the Comeback Army.
BY Frank G.. NIcnkc.

NEW YORK. Dec. 19.-Here are a
few words from Jimmy Gilmore. who
proxies for the Federal league:
Il feel that peace would be for the
best interests Of the game. and / be-
lieVe that the public wants peace. We
are willing TO go half-way-but no
farther. And when peace comes you
can be assured that 10 will be at terms
that are favorable TO the Federal
league-at terms that will maintain
the Federal league as a separate ma
jor league organization"
Guy Shanks, the Washington out
fielder. reminds one very much Of the
Federal league. He was pronounced
on the edge Of the grave, but he per-
formed a Comeback"
Back in 1910 Shanks went TO a
medical gent who hammered Shanks'
chest hook his head sorrowful like
and said:
My boy. prepare tho finish You
amt got no more than a couple Of
weeks TO live"
The baseball season had just ended.
Shanks, at that time, was playing
for the East Liverpool, O., team.
Shanks beat it over 10 MOnacaa,
Pa. just across the river from East
Liverpool. For some old reason he
chose 10 die there
The examination of Shanks was
made at the solicitation of the Pitts
burgh club, which thought a lot Of
Shanks' skill but was skeptical about
his general health When the doc
tors report was submitted, the Pr
rates, of course. gave up all thoughts
Of sharing Shanks.
Well. Shanks went over to that
Pennsylvania town prepared to die.
Early in the spring Bill Phillips, man
ager of the East Liverpool team. near
" collapsed when he got a letter from
Shanks asking when and where he
should report for spring training
When Phillips recovered his equili-
brium he wrote Shanks to report at
once. Shanks did-looking huskier
and stronger than ever.
Either that doc didn't know his
business or MOnacaa is some health
resort" said Shanks
Shanks had a good season in 1911
with East Liverpool. went to YOungs-
town, o., in 1913 and graduated from
the minors the next season, going to
Washington, where he has been since.
Shanks wasn't the only star that
the Pirates passed up. Barney Drey-
fuss. owner of the Pirates, had a
chance to sign Iris Speaker, the won
derful Rex SoX Outfieider. who then
was In the minors. Inc deal was al
ready to go through when Dreyfuss
learned that Speaker smoked cigar
cts.
Right now I'm offa that fellow. -
said Barney. Il won't have a cigaret
smoker on my team. These fellows
never amount to a darn-nO wind, no
endurance, no nothing"
WhereupOn, the Red Sox secured
Speaker and he became the sensation
of the American league. He ranks to-
day, despite the fact that he smokes
cigarets, as one of the greatest out
felders the game ever has known.
If he were placed on the market he
would bring $25, 900 at least

Washington, d. c. January l2,-Dur-
ing the last two months, Representa-
tive Burton L. French has been recelv-
ing many letters from Idaho, urging
and advising that he become can
didate for senator, and rumor has
persistently associated his name with
the senatorial fight in spite of the
fact that he has constantly refused
to make final statement on the sub
ject.
Mr.. French has decided to be a
candidate, and today gave out the fol-
lowing interview.

the question of maintaining a strict
quarantine by this government against
countries whose potatoes are affected
with powdery scab and other diseases,
has been assured by the secretary
that the department will adhere to
the maintenance of a strict quarantine
against the potatoes grown in all such
countries.
The department is exceedingly anx-
ious that the disease be kept out of
the United States, and in addition to
taking this precaution advises all DO

Proposed Drainage LAX Great Value
To Idaho.
There is a bill now pending before
Congress for a National drainage law.
The Department of Agriculture seems
to favor such law, and If this bill
passes it will be a wonderful beneflt
to Idaho, as it will enable drainage
bitches to be formed under National
authority that will make the selling
of the bonds an easy matter.
However, this bill goes still farther
and authorizes the Government to do
the work and take the bonds for the
construction, and this seems to be the
law most suited to the needs of the
people. There are large tracts OF land
in Northern Idaho, especially in Bon
ner and Kootenai counties that would
be very valuable if drained.
| Senator Brady has had this matter
up with the Secretary of Agriculture
and is trying to have these lands sur
veyed and estimates made so that an
estimate of the cost of drainage can
be obtained There is a question that
has arisen in Kootenai Valley in Bon
ner county that makes it an Interna-
ional question to have a commission
appointed to confer with similar
commission to be appointed by the
Canadian government, to meet and
agree upon fair and equitable plan
of retaining these lands and protect
ing them from overflow.
1t seems reasonably certain that
action will be taken in the matter
and if so, it will be great step for
ward toward the accomplishment of
the drainage of Kootenai Valley.
More Pay For Rural Carriers.
Representative Addison T. Smith
has introduced a bill in Congress pro-
viding that rural free delivery car
riers of the mails shall be allowed
monthly salary, for providing and
maintaining the equipment used by
them in Transporting the mails.
! Legislation of this character is i'm
perative, in view of the fact that under
the new regulations permitting the en-
try to the mails of packages weighing

disc through the mails which hereto

Idaho Officials at Work in Washington.
Attorney General Peterson and
State Land Commissioner, George A.
Day, have been in Washington during
the past week in consultation with the
Secretary of the Interior and theCom-
missioner of the General Land Office,
with reference to the controversy over
lands in Marble Creek country, north
Idaho.
1t is the desire Of all parties con-
cerned to make such an adjustment
of the matter that the settlers will be
permitted to perfect their entries and
that land of equal value will be CIV
en- to the state, in lieu of the land
which has been selected and which is
now occupied by the homesteaders.
Commissioner Day is also check
ing up the records in connection with
the various State selections in order
that patent may issue to the state.
Brady Asks Immediate Action by
Government.
Senator Brady has been in CONSUL
tation with the supervising architect
of the treasury department several
times in the last two weeks relative tc
| the letting of the contract for the post
office building at Pocatello, Six bids
were received by the department fol-
the construction of the building. How
ever, only one of them was within the
limit and there are reasons why the
department did not desire to accept
the lowest bid. Senator Brady has
been trying to convince the depart
ment that the government should &C
cept either the lowest or next loves
bid so that the work might be com
menced Immediately.
