because you didn't like the infection

IT'S more than that--it's your

You place me in the position of a

BIDS ARE ASKED FOR
CARRYING MAIL FROM
BOISE TO IDAHO CITY

The government is still trying to get
somebody to take the contract for
CARRYING the mails to Idaho City, dis
tance of 26 miles and back six times a
week. Several bids have been received
heretofore. but all of them have been
rejected and now a new deal is called
for.
Under the new proposal, bids will be
received up to Sept. 20 for carrying
the mails from Nov. l, 1914, to June
80, 1918, and three plans for bidding
are suggested.
/. Bids will be received for carrying
all first and second class matter, that
is for letters and newspapers, and Il
quantity of parcels post matter suffl-
cient to make load which the bidder
may limit to 900 pounds of parcels post
matter.
2 Bids will be received for carry
ing the rest of the parcels post matter
conditioned that no trip will need to
be made until 1000 pounds shall have
accumulated, such accumulation, how
ever, not to extend beyond six days at
any one time. That is, one trip must
be made each week any way, but trips
need not be made oftener than that
unless there shall be 2000 pounds ready
for delivery.
3. Bidders may submit bids for
three trips each week and in the same
bids submit a separate proposal for
carry each 100 pounds of matter to
be carried on additional trips. This
provision seems to indicate that the
department has in mind to establish a
regular tri-weekly parcels post deliv-
cry with the possibility of making il
| daily delivery If the rate per 100
pounds is satisfactory.

His annoyance was evident. From

out his wallet.

Helen flushed. Don't ask me like
that, Warren"
Don't ask you like that? How in
thunder do you want me to ask you ?"

But that was the first month--we

course, there we're many things to
buy that we will not need again.

table voice.
without answering, Helen went
back to the dining room and returned
with some bills which she placed be-
fore him on the hat rack.
There are the bills. You can
leave what you choose"

about it," He glanced at the bills
and threw down ten dollars. "Why
couldn't you have told me the
amount in the first place without all

TRACTS Will HAVE
GREAT GRAIN CROP
Leader, Gooding)

C. E. Blake, local manager of the
Con Wagon & Machine company, who
perhaps is in closer touch with the ag-
ricultural conditions of this section
than any other man. estimates that the
grain crop of the Gooding, Shoshone.
Richfield and Dietrich tracts this year
will exceed half million bushels. big
increase over any previous year. These
tracts embrace all of the lands lying
under the system of the Idaho Irriga-
ton company and the older ranches
lying along the Big and Little Wood
rivers below the Magic reservoir.
In reaching his conclusions Mr.. Blake
cites some interesting figures on sales
of machinery and harvesting supplies.
Approximately $4,000 pounds of binding
Irvine have been sold by all dealers and
there are $50 binders in use. These
figures indicate the harvesting OF at
least 10000 acres and taking the low
figure OF 20 bushels per acre as the
average yield, the total production
would be 100000 bushels. Two car
loads of grain sacks. approximately
100000 sacks, have been received by
Gooding dealers alone and IL Is pre-
sumed that all will be sold, which
means about 100000 bushels for this
vicinity.

She was now leaning against the
hat rack and sobbing bitterly
Perhaps some OF the justice of
what she said appealed to him, for
after moments hesitation he put
his arm awkwardly about her.
"'There, there, Helen, you're very
foolish and over-sensitive, that's all.
And the remark about your clothes
wasn't that rather hard? OF course,
l want to buy your clothes-every
man wants to provide for his wife.
And If I've seemed-well, little i'm
patient-when you've asked for
money, it's only because things have
been costing so much more than we
thought. But I'm not blaming YOU
you must get that idea out of your
head. And as you said. last month
was the first month, and, of course,
the expenses would be more. I dare
say it will be all right after this.
There, now" kissing her, IT must

Ill try to phone you around noon"

FIRST POLO CANE
OF SERIES WITH
PORTLAND TEAM
Boise Meets Fast Aggrega-
ton From the Oregon
Metropolis in First Battle
of Tournament.

The fate of Boise as holder OF the
northwest polo championship honors
hangs in the balan g this week for the
Portland challengers-one of the fast
est polo fours in the west-this after
noon viii engage the Boise team in the
first of series OF polo matches in an
attempt to lift the honors and carry
them away to the Rose City. The
Portland four arrived in Boise yester-
day afternoon and shortly afterwards
enjoyed a short practice, working long
enough to satisfy them their mounts
are in good form and that they are in
shape to play the crask Boise team to
a standstill The game opens promptly
at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon at the
Boise barracks grounds.
Victor Johnson, Hamilton and Har-
ry Corbett, Harry Robertson are not
novices at the game. This prize four
has engaged and won from the best
teams in the northwest. They have
never won from Boise, however. In
fact, every time p Jrtland has sent a
polo team here ii has been to return
defeated before the desperate riders
and accurate shots on the Boise team.
Portland Greatly Strengthened.
If the dope reads right, however,
Portland has strengthen sufficiently
this year to make the lifting of the
northwestern championship more than
a possibility. The addition of Robert
son alone, Portland lelieves, will be
sufficient to strengthen the team in
one department where it was weak and
to defeat Boise. The Portland four
will only lose because the are beaten

.ish is still with Boise and it would
surprise few polo fans if they hold the
pennant here on just such tactics.
Fans are willing to admit that possibly
the Boise four has not had the prac-
tice Portland has or that its team work
will be as good, but they are willing
to bank on the sensational riding and
rushing tactics of Lemp and Ostner
and the all-around riding of the entire
Boise team to pull way with the game.
The tournament therefore will be a
riders match in which there will be
some sensational work done on the
mounts.
