Tuesdays Game.

"The shades of night were falling
fast" when the last inning was play
ed in the game between the Moose
and Keiths, and that last inning was
fatal to the Moose, the Keiths piling
up eight scores in their half and
winning the game by one run. Score
10 to 9.
The Moose had the game easily
tucked away up to the seventh, the
score being 6 to 2. In the seventh,
the Moose added three more. Then
the fun started The first four men
were walked. Hits by Floy Clark
and Henry Obermyer and inability to
see the bali by the Moose were re-
sponsible for the other scores. Two
men were out when time was called.
The Moose had a new battery-Guy
and Clyde Reynolds-and they played
like veterans. Their batting was
big feature in the fortunes of the
Moose. Guy struck out three and
eight hits were recorded against him,
one two-bagger by Fels. Fels for
the Keiths struck out six and allowed
eight hits, three being for two bases
by McDowall, Clyde Reynolds and
Knowles.

LUMPKIN's HOUSE BURNS
Farm Home Near Sweet Destroyed
by Fire Tuesday

Bob's Lumpkin's house on his home
stead few miles from Sweet was de-
stroyed by fire at midnight Monday,
all his furniture and clothing was al
so burned The loss is 5000.
The fire started in a box filled with
clothing, and is believed to have been
caused by matches and mouse. Mr..
Lumpkin was at the Canyon canal at
the time, being employed there, and
his wife and children were alone in
the house, asleep in bed. They were
awakened by the flames, which had
climbed the wall and were spreading
over the ceiling, and they had barely
time to escape, clad only in their
night clothes. A brooder house near
by, containing large number of
young chicks and turkeys, was also
destroyed. The loss is a severe one
for Mr.. Lumpkin.

A dwelling house on the road run
ming east from Fourth street, owned
by the Hopkins brothers of Los An
geles, Calf, was destroyed by fire
Monday about noon. The building
was occupied by S. A. Gardunia, but
his loss is small, most of the furniture
having been moved out and was on its
way to Garden valley, where the Gar

are in Texas placing advance orders
for Colorado peaches. The crop is re-
ported short in Texas and Oklahoma
and Arkansas this year.
This might be good tip for En-
NETT growers, as now is the time to
begin to look up markets, for when
the crop rush is on it is too late.
This leads US to remark that it is
the opinion of many men who have
been through the peach game that
Emmett is liable to lose thousands of
dollars again this year on her peach
crop because of the lack of unity of
interests in the distributing of the
crop within the confines of our own
state.
No less than a dozen big outfits are
contemplating the selling of their
own crops this season and practically
all in the same towns, which is very
liable to result in price cutting at an

FRIDAYS Game

The Crescents took the count in
five innings, the Keiths shutting them
out; score 7 to 0. 1t was rafting
good game, the best of the season
so far. Fels for the Keiths was in
fine form and his support was gilt
edge. For the Crescents, Oscar Lin
gren pitched winning ball and de-
served a victory. He struck out
seven Keiths and allowed only three
hits. Fels whitfield six and allowed
three hits, one of them a two-bagger
by Campbell.

dition of nitrogen and winter pro-
lection for the soil. Heavy soils as
generally found on the mesa, are said
to be greatly benefited by plowing
under cover crops, as the organic
matter added makes the soil
more friable and more retentive of
moisture The method is being ad-
vised by many leading horticulturists.

Caught Trout in Ditch

George Haley, few days ago,
caught rainbow trout in an irriga-

Womack's residence and made grab
for it. He was surprised when he
caught it to discover that it was

A greater portion of the Idaho

planted to clover this summer as a

these crops are the improvement of
the condition of the soil by the addi-

CITY OF HAMILTON
BUYS ROCK CRUSHER
Permanent Roads Of Future Provided
For by Purchase Of This
Plant.

A portabla rock crusher with eleva-
tor and bins attached, with capacity
of eighteen tons an hour has been
purchased by the city of Hamilton
from the makers in Utica, New York,
says the Hamilton Press.
The city authorities feel that thu
time is opportune to change the
method Of building up hard roads with
creek gravel. In by-gone years the
creek gravel answered the demands
for permanent road very well. The
roads were plann ed to meet the needs
of heavy but slow moving tonnage.
But today the call is for e road to
withstand heavy tonnage, but also to
remain hard and smooth for the
swiftly moving auto car and truck.
Having bought the crusher the city
will now build its roads out of crushed
rock, which will be rolled to hard,
smooth surface by heavy road roller.
In a few years this city can expect
to have system of well made per-
manent streets that will be a credit
to the town.
