TO THE VOTERS
OF BINGHAM COUNTY

as County Stenoerapher under ]. E.
Good, at a salary Of $4,000 a month.
However, Miss Ezell assisted in the
Recorders office when not engaged
in her official capacity. Miss Jones
receives a saary of $4,000 per month,
and is paid less for her services than
any County Stenographer Bingham
County ever had.
Prior to 1909, the Prosecuting At
torney had to obtain q stenographer
wherever he could for the preliminary
examinations, and the County had to
pay twenty cents per one hundred
words for all the evidence taken,
which amounted to several hundred
dollars in some cases.
Palmer is going to reform the Sher.
it's office? When he knows 80 lit.
tie about it that he thinks the county
stenographer is the Sheriff's private
stenographer. The county has not
paid one cent for any stenographer OF
secretary for Sheriff Jones.
Mr.. Palmer also says that he will
leave the rake off, from the prison.
er's board where II belongs. and save
the county $500 a. year. For a great
number II years. the County Commis
sioners, acting under the laws of this
state, have paid the Sheriff so cents
per day for each prisoners board
At the last meeting of the board il
was ordered that the Sheriff hereaf
ter receive rs cents per meal for the
prisoners board. There have been nj
meals charged to tho county that wer
not furnished to the prisoners BY
Sheriff Jones, and if there is any graf
in the case, it is in the payment by
the county of 25 cents per meal tt
the Sheriff.
We do not wish tosay any NOR
in regard to this subject, except tt
invite the citizens of Bingham count,
! to Investigate the accusations tina
have been and might be made agains

from the records tho true condition
if they are in doubt as to his honest
and sincerity in conducting the al
airs OF the office.

Formation of Ice.

The cause assigned for the fact that
water freezes only for a comparatively
small space at the surface of rivers or
ponds is thus explained. Scientists au-
thoritatively declare that water is at
its heaviest when it reaches 40 degrees
F.-that is. s degrees above freezing
point. On frosty night. as each top
layer of water falls to 40 degrees it
sinks to the bottom, therefore the
whole pond has to drop to 40 degrees
before any of it can freeze. At length
it is all cooled to this point, and then
ice begins to form But ice is very
bad conductor of heat, therefore it
shuts off the freezing air from the
body of warmer water underneath
The thicker it gets the more perfectly
does it act as a greatcoat and that IS
why even the Arctic ocean never
freezes beyond a few feet in thickness.

CURING SLICE IN GOLF.
An Expert Suggests Some Remedies
For a Troublesome Habit.


The slice is unfortunately a common
fault at golf, destroying all hope of
accuracy as well as distance in the
drive The remedy becomes obvious
as soon as the cause of slicing is thor
oughly understood. That it is due to
horizontal rotation of the bah in it's
flight is unquestionable. from the an
alogy of the curved ball in baseball.
The question is as to how this motion
of rotation is impaired to the ball.
The remedy lies either in eliminat-
ing the twist of the wrists or in com
pensation for it by turning the club
in the hands while addressing the ball.
If you are a confirmed slicer turn the
club in the hands so that the face
slants sharply inward while the hands
and arms are otherwise held in the usu-
al position. Address the ball with the
club in this position and then swing
as usual. You will be agreeably sur
prised to see a straight ball or a pull.
A few trials will serve to determine
the position of the club in addressing
the ball which will give the desired
straight shot.
All the curves, the slice, the pull and
the rise are sharply emphasized in long
shots. The sharp, hard blow of a rapid
stroke sets UP much more rapid rota-
ton Of the bail just as in the billiard
shots.-E. X. Stuart in Outing Maya

When it comes to open-hearted gen.
crosby, President James ]. ,McCaf-
ferry, of the Toronto Club, is batting
away over the 1000 mark. He holds
no ill-feeling for Bill Bradley because
Brad jumped Toronto and is manag-
ing the Brookfeds. In order to give
Bradley a chance to preserve his clean
record and return to baseball within
the fold at any time, McCaffery has
just sent Bradley his unconditional
release. This is one of the finest
pieces of craftsmanship heard of in
a long time. Bradley, during his long
career, was always a hard worker and
for years he was the best third base
man in the majors. When he met
with an injury he was summarily cut
loose by the Cleveland club, but he
has no kick coming on the treatment
received at Toronto.
Negotiations have been practically
concluded, it became known today for
the purchase by the New York Amer
lean League Club of Monte Pfyl, first
baseman, and Outfelder Strait from
Jersey City of the International
League. Both Pfyl and Strait are
wanted by Manager Chance because
of their batting records. Pfyl was car
ried for several years on the reserve
list of the New York Giants. He
jumped to the coast outlaws. When
that league was taken into organized
baseball Pfyl with many others was
disciplined and sentenced to a term
of five years in that company Later
he was reinstated and McGraw per-
mitted him to sign with Jersey City.
Strait also comes from the Pacific
coast, where he gained a reputation
as a distance hitter. The fact that
the Yanks wanted Pfyl was told in
these columns a week ago.
President Thomas Fogarty,. of Jer-
sew City, says he will use Barry on
first base. He has been keeping him
for that purpose right along.

could not guage it. and when they
did meet it they could not put any

East Side 2; Central, /.
With a crippled infield, East Side
High School started on the last leg
of the Newark High Schools Athletic
Association baseball championship
race yesterday and defeated Central
High School, at City Athletic Field,
by a score of to l. One of the
largest crowds of the season braved
the chilly winds to watch what
proved to be the hardest fought game
of the season. The fielding of both
teams were far below par due main

was little better with five miscues.
Davy White, the pitching mainstay
of East Side was on the mound for
his team, and while the nip in the
air probably prevented him from
showing up to his former form, he
was effective enough to hold the Cen
tralites safe in all of the innings ex-
cept the fourth, when they managed
to get over their one run. 1t was
White that scored the winning run
in the eighth inning. With the score
one all, he reached first, when Safer
booted his grounder. Bien sacrificed
and White took a chance and Went
clear to third base. Schmitt tried
to get him at third, but, Reilly muffed
the throw, letting the East Side
twirler home with the winning tally.

scented with a bouquet of flowers
upon his first trip to the bat, and
thereafter he was as effective in the
box as his rival White was. Lehr-
hoff allowed but seven hits to Whites

The first score was made by Cen
trail In the fourth inning. 1t proved
to be. the losers only tally. Lehr-

innings there was no tallying, but

the scoring.
Kim Atha, of Central. was the
kingpin batsman. In four trips TO
the bat the Central third baseman
garnered three hits from Whites de-

the bat for East Side, each getting
a brace of hits.
