OCTOBER NOTABLY MILD

Edward L. Wells, section director
Of the United States Weather bureau,
gives out summary for the weather
in the state during October in which
he says that the mean temperature
for the month was almost five de-
grees higher than that for the cor
responding month in 1918 and only
three times in the last % years has
the mean temperature for October
been higher.
There was much less frost than
usual, tender vegetation remaining
green in many localities until quite
close to the end of the month.
The precipitation was practically all
in the form of rain and the average
has been exceeded in October but
five times since statewide records
have been kept. Only seven out of
Ill stations report any snow fall,
and what did fall disappeared almost
at once
Conditions generally were favorable
for threshing, blowing, seeding, beet
and potato digging and apple picking.
Fall sown grain terminated we'll and
pasture and range grass were bene-
fitted by the mild temperature and
timely rains.
The mean temperature ranged from
below 40 degrees near the Sawtooth
grees along the middle reachers of
the Snake river in Owyhee and FL
more counties.

THE KNOCKERS PRAYER

Lord please don't let this town
grow. I've been here for thirty years,
and during that time I've fought ev-
cry public Improvement Two knocked
everything and everybody, no firm
or individual has established a bust
ness here without my doing all
could to put them out of business.
I've lied about them, and would have
stolen from them if I had the cour-
age I have done all l could to keep
the town from growing and never
have spoken a good word for it. I've
knocked hard and often. I've put
ashes on the children's slide and I've
made the marshal stop the boys play
ing ball on my vacant lot. When
ever saw anyone prospecting or en-
joying themselves I've started a re-
form to kin the business or spoil the
fun. l don't want the young folks to
stay in this town and l will do all
can by law, rule and ordinance to
drive them away. 1t pains me, o
Lord, to see that in spite of my knock
ing it is beginning to grow. Some
day fear l will be called upon to
put down sidewalks in front of my
property and who knows but what /
may have to help keep up the streets
IL,
would be more than l could bear. 1t
would cost me money. though all l
have was made right here in this
town. Then, too, more people might
come if the town begins to grow,
which would cause me to lose some
of my pull l ask therefore, to keep
this town at standsttill, that l mag
continue to be the chief Amen.

Dependency Due to Indigestion

1t is not at all surprising that per-
sons who have indigestion become dis.
couraged and Respondent. Here are
few words of hope and cheer for
them by Mrs. Blanche Bowers, Indi-
ana, Pa. For years my digestion
was SO poor that l could only eat the
lightest foods. l tried every thing
that heard Of to get relief, but not
until about a year ago when saw
Chamberlain's Tablets advertised and
got a bottle of them, did I find the
right treatment. l soon began 10
improve, and since taking a few bot.
ties Of them my digestion is fine"

Both Houses
Republican

There arc 81 members entitled to
seats in the house of representatives.
While the apportionment was not
changed at the last session two new
counties were created out of old Lin
coin county which before had but two
representatives Each of these two
counties together with the old county,
is entitled to representative which
accounts for the extra member. In
stead of being 60 members in the
house when the legislature meets
again. as there was last session there
will be 81 members. OF this number
the Democrats have % and the Pro-
gressives one. If the tie vote for
representative in Latah county is de-
cided for the Democrats and their
member is seated that party will have
20 members. 1t was thought at one
time that should the tic be decided
in favor of the Democrats and the
one Progressive member vote with
that party, tie vote could be forced
in the house. This was figured on
membrsheip of, 60 in the house in
stead of 81 which places the control
with the Republicans.
In the senate the Republicans have
Is senators, a sufficient number to
cOptro1 Tho Domoor,%c L,,,o 20 %Lo

one, making a total of 33. Combined

in their demands, for the Wheelmen
are the ones who will have to stand
the losses. The fighters, as a general
thing, get all the money and then
claim they are abused, and the Wheel
men will soon find out that they will
have tough job on their hands sat
isfying the fighter and pleasing the
patron. The Bay Views are in a fine
position to make a success of the ven
ture if they will only conduct it them
selves. They own their own club
house and there are other ways in
which they will be able to cut down
the expenses. But the game will be a
failure sure if they have a lot of n.y.
by-nights to run affairs.
@
Dave Kurtz, who is to fight in the
star bout at the Bay Views first show
next Friday night, says he was never
in better shape in his career than he
is at the present time Kurtz has
been back only a few days after a
long rest in the mountains. He says
he is much bigger than when he went
away and declares he weighs 154
pounds. He is going into the game
now, he says, with the intention of
working up to a bout with Mike Glib
bons, the st. Paul wizard, but in the
meantime he is willing to fight any
body. His opponent at the Bay View
show will be Ed Kinley, of Harrison.
The men will clash in four-round
bout and there will be several other
contests on the program.

Jim Savage and Porky Flynn put
up a miserable fight at Bill Brown
Far Rockaway Club last night, and
it would be difficult matter, from
all accounts, to pick out the one who
did the poorest work The fact is,
very little fighting was done and the
quality was far below the standard.
Savage had an alibi after the battle
Percy Woodruff, his manager, said
that Jim was handicapped on ac-
count of the heavy padding in the
ring. He couldn't do any footworl,
and thus was at a disadvantage

SAVAGE AND FLYNN
PUT UP POOR BOUT
H0n0rs Even at End of Ten
Rounds of Tame
Fighting.
JIM TO MEET LANGFORD

Jim Savage, of Orange, and Dan
"Porky'' Flynn, of Boston, hestated
and one-stepped through ten rounds
at Browns Far RoekaWay A. {. last
night. Honors were even at the nm
ish. Neither boxer displayed MS
usual form and there was not the
semblance of any terrific milling dur
ing any part of the contest, with the
possible exception of the maj SEES
sion, when Savage came to Ire Tor
moment and caught Flynn on the Jaw
as the latter was about 10 slip to the
mat. Flynn went down, but was up
in a moment only to fall into cllnch.
Savage complained after the bout
that the ring did not suit him, due to
the fact that il was Too well padded.
He said he was unable to get going.
1t seemed, however that he held pack
throughout and was not particularly
anxious to mix it. The same can be
said of Flynn, who was content TO MT
his adversary only in clinehes. Flynn
elbowed consistently and received the
warnings of Referee Bill Brown, but
he failed to discontinue his foul eXhi-
bition. Savage, at intervals, appeared
willing, but his opponent, however,
was not of the same mood. 1t APP
peared as though Savage started his
punches too low. He fought from
erouched position when ready to de
liver a punch and repeatedly missed
several hard swings, which, had they
landed safely, would have probably
caused trouble for Flynn 1t was the
concensus of opinion that had Savage
stood up and sent his blows straight
away he might have put Flynn to
sleep. Flynn, it was said, had not
trained faithfully for the bout When
Savage did connect the blows had
steam but he was only able to catch
Flynn's back.
Savage was the faster in getting
around, but at that he failed to live
up to expectations. He weighed in at
1877 pounds in his fighting toys, but
even at that he appeared to have some
superfuous fat. FLYNN tipped the
beam at 100 pounds in full ring cos
tune.
Percy Woodruff, who is handling
the affairs, stated that Savage was
matched to meet Sam Langford in
Philadelphia in two weeks.

NEW YORK AFTER
ARMY-NAW GAME
Merchants Assn President
Urges Department Heads to
Select Metropolis.

NEW YORK, Sept "a strong
movement is under way to bring the
annual football battle between the
Army and Navy elevens to this city
again this year.
William A. Marble, president of the
Merchants Association of this city.
has written Secretary Lindley M
Garrison, of the war department, and
Secretary Josephus M. Daniels of the
navy department, urging that New
York be given the big game this year
and stating a number of reasons why
this city should receive the prefer
ence. The secretaries were urged to
give the matter attention and receive
a delegation from the association
which would present further reasons
why the game should be played here
this fall.
Supporters of the metropolis assert
that the Polo grounds from every
viewpoint offers the best available
field for the game. Forty-six thou
sand persons can be comfortably
seated, it is stated. whereas at Phila-
delphia in games played there only
$4,000 have been handled. and there
