VICTORY FOR LOCAL TEAM BY SO-S
SCORE-WORK OF GLIB EIMERS
FINE SEVERAL REGULARS
OUT OF GAME.

Tuesday night the Grangeville All
Stars added another victory to their
credit when they overwhelmed the Mos
cow team at basket ball with q score
Of 30-S. They have played five games
SO far this season and have made a
clean sweep, winning all. The first
played was with the teachers, won by
a score of 25-14. The next with Sites

with Cottonwood was won by Bile

30-13 defeat.
The game Tuesday night was played
with team organized among the stu
dents of the short course in agricul-
ture of the University of Idaho. Ed

splendid satisfaction with his fairness.

of Glib Eimers shone, and he played an
exceptionally good game. He made 9

ing under hard luck and number Of
good throws rung around the basket
but fell out.
For the Moscow aggregation, Fox
who played forward ON that team
showed splendid ability as a basket
ball player and was valuable asset
to the team. AS the Moscow boys
played a game with Cottonwood on
Mnday night preceding the game with
the All-Stars that game undoubtedly
affected their playing their best game
with the local boys for they had not
had sufficient time to recover from the
effects of the Cottonwood game.
Fisher was out of the game with a
bad leg. Henry Munroe was out of
town. The Grangeville lineup consist

ASSIST GOVERNOR ALEXANDER.
Judge J. F. Aislhie Says People Of
idaho Believe in Plans for Economy.

Lewiston, December 24---.Judge j. F..
Ailshie, former member of the supreme
bench, was in the city yesterday en-
route from Occur d'Alene to Boise
where he will spend Christmas with his
family. Judge Ailshie stated the peo-
pie throughout the northern part of the
state arc much in sympathy with the
economy plans outlined by Governor
elect Alexander and will give him their
strongest support in his efforts to carry
his plans to completion.
,"We believe Governor Alexander will
give Idaho good administration and
will be able to effect economics for the
people if he is given the support of
the communities, said Judge Ailshie.
"We belive that he should be given
the fullest support of the people and
the sentiment in the northern part of
the state is very favorable to extend
ing him every possible assistance in his
administration.
Judge Ailshie is located in Occur
d 'Alene but also maintains offices in
Boise and will divide his time between
those points.-Lewiston Tribune.

imum term of from five to ten years,
which was the sentence received by
Allen, former state treasurer.
After sentence had been passed Cole
man showed clearly by his manner that
a load had been lifted from his mind.
There was something almost cheerful in
his demeanor as he left the court room
The entire proceeding took but short
time, and by 2:30 o'clock Coleman was
an inmate of the prison.
The second charge against Coleman
that of falsifying the records OF the
state treasurer's office, was left on the
calendar. 1t is not generally believed
he will be tried in that offense.
Since Coleman has pleaded guilty II
is understood that he will appear be
fore the grand jury when it meets OF
January and give whatever informa
tion is asked of him as to affairs in the
state house. Both Coleman and AlleI
ia understood that he will appear be

WATER AND LIGHT AGAIN.
Light on Since Monday Steadily and
Thawer to Work in Frozen Pipes.

This week the people of Grangeville
are again basking in the rays of the
electric lights and the power is on both
day and night. Last week we were
only afforded electric power during the
nights, the days being used down at the
plant to repair the injuries caused by
the ice, and there was none too much
light even when it was on. Sunday
night the lights went on full power and
$50 intense was it that it hurt the
eyes. Monday we had power all day
and the juice has been on all of the
time since the first of the week.
As for the water question, some of
the users are still carrying supplies for
dishwashing in the old fashioned
bucket, oaken or otherwise. But the
power and water company is busy these
days manipulating an electric thawer
which takes the chill out of the pipes
and starts a dripple from the facets
which soon grows into full force,
thirst quenching stream They are Just
completing the work of thawing out
pipes in the south part of town today
and then when they are through there
the southwest part Of the city ex-
poets to be relieved from the drouth.
The electric thawer takes current
Of about 300 ampers, and the difficulty
in the outlying districts is to get the
wires connected onto high power wire.
The main reason for the freeze is laid
to the fact that in the diigent efforts to
put the streets in good travelling con-
dition this summer little too much soil
was scraped off above the mains expos
ing the same to the action of the frost
which has penetrated deeper than usual
this year. But when we get water
again we will soon forget all the trou-
bles of the past, and remedy the trou-
bles in the future.
