The statement from Miner Brown
that he Is in shape to work forty-fivs
games this season at a fast clip brings
up an interesting point. It IL generally
understood that Brown and Mathewson
are about the same age and have seen
the same amount Of actual service
Which is a trffle off the track. The
three-taloned boy is four years older
than Matty-thirty-seven against thirty
three-and yet Matty has seen longer
big league service. Matty slipped in
around 1901. Brown in 1903. Matty start
ed at the soon age Of twenty-one.
whereas Brown was twenty-seven be-
fore he skidded out of the bush.
Brown was older when he worked his
first big league contest than Walter
johnson Is today. and the Senatorial
Simeon has been under the big tent for
seven years.

The 900 Club.

1t seems that a terrific il not un-
seemly argument has developed be-
tween 8. X. L. and a rival fanatic. =.
X. L. insists that there have been ball
clubs to average above 900 at bat for
q complete season. and he straiShtway
pushes the plea for an answer In this
direction.
No ball club has averaged over 800
for a season since the foul-str1ke RUE
was inserted, but in the old days there
were several. The Giants averaged .1S
in 1887, and that same season the
Phillfes averaged so. Boston. in the
National, averaged well over 80 In 1884
and 1897.
have no record of any such achieve
ment. The Mackmen came closer to
the mark in 1911, when they compiled
an average of 90. They were over
900 until the last few weeks OF the

Quite evidently the English sport
historian Is much more glutton for

He is harder Of soul. q aancher Of

every way.
For the mere sake Of principle and
patriotism he is willing to boost and
foster a game that requires a two
weeks stretch. 100 or 800 runs and gen
orally an all-day shift. when, by en-
couraging baseball, he might cut this
working spell to hour and IS minutes
each afternoon and face the manual
la .vr Of only scoring one lone tally on
the day that Walter Johnson pitches
against some other club than the Ath-
letics.
The English system might be well

DIR. HARRIS RETURNS

DR.. L. A. Harris returned Fri
day from San Francisco, where he
has been for a month, in the hos
pitals and clinics, looking up the
latest things in medicine and sur-
gerry. He comes back more than
delighted with the trip, both from
the standpoint of the physical good
it brought hin-he gained II
pounds while there-and from the
professional uplift. San Francisco
being a seaport city, the hospitals
offer unusual opportunities for
hospital and medical work, and DR..
Harris brings back all the good that
any one could from such visit.
He is going back into his practice
here, with better health, better en-
and the very latest there
is in medical practice to offer to his
patients.

weight is less than in many of the other
breeds. And with this conformation,
comes the conclusion that such an animal
would be an idead grazer. When W. J.
Taper recently sold his hogs for SIS
each, after they had run on alfalfa all
the time except for five weeks just be-
fore marketing, he opened the eyes of
the country as to what could be done
for cheap hog feed The Hampshires
should be the ideal grazers. They seem
to have been bred for this, all the years
of their ancestry. They should be the
finest rustlers on the farm, that one
could find anywhere. That is the big
gest claim of their enthusiasts that
they are outdoor hogs, that will make
the best gain on the cheapest food.
While they are not quite what the aver
age farmer would pick as the ideal look
ers, because of the longer head and the
thinner body, it is a fair guess that
they would prove to be big money
makers on the Idaho alfalfa farm For
the farmer who wanted to put up some
fancy home cured meats, and establish
reputation and a fortune for this kind
of food product, they should be the
ideal.
Mr.. Micklewait has some very fine
animals of the breed. and they have at
tracted good deal of attention. OF
the dozen little pigs he has raised this
season, he could sell thirty or forty
even without advertising, so attractive
do they look to investigating buyers.

but it includes piano, a fine libra
ry, and SO many other articles of
value that it will be heavy indeed.
The house was insured for $1,000
Almost every house in town was
opened for the use and convenience
of the Denecke family, until they
find way to re-establish their own
home.
The Recorder would suggest that
the installation of few more hyd-
rants, at no very great expense.
might make it possible to avert
some other conflagrations that
might not happen where they can
be headed off. And if the heroic
volunteer service that the local fire
men displayed on the occasion of
this and the last fire, were organ
lied and under the control of some
recognized head, it might be less
work and of more effect. There is
a wealth of good material for fire
if it could be organized
into effective service.
The three fire" cycle has been com
pleted on the Richfield tract, the Den
ecke residence being the last. The sec
ond was the one that last week destroy
ed the M. B. Cox home on the Big Wood
river. Mr.. Cox was away from the
house, al work, when a fire apparently
started by campers in his grove came
lp under the strong wind and burned
practically everything that could catch
ire. One horse perished in the stable,
md another was terribly burned. A
binder and all the rest of the farm ma
hinery also went up in the blaze. the
otal loss being estimated at $500.

The Hampshire Hog For Profit
Champion Grazer and Grass Hog Makes Appearance On
Rchfeld Tract---Looks Like Winner

The Recorder has said quite bit
about the Berkshires and the POLAND
Chinas and the Jersey Reds and the
razor-backs and the plain and fancy
hogs being raised on the Richfield tract,
but up to now has had very little to say
about the newest of them all, the
Hampshires. This week, the editor had
the pleasure Of inspecting the founda-
tion herd belonging to R. E. Nickel
wait, and kept at his place at the north
edge of town.
The Hampshire is the Bacon Type"
of hogs-a rangy, not-to-fat hog that
will supply large proportion of lean
meat as contrasted with the Lard
Type" that grow to butter-ball consist
ency. The Hampshires are black, with
broad band of white up over the
shoulders like blanket or towel laid
across the back. This white band
should extend on down so as to show
both front legs and feet white. 1t is a
peculiar marking though it is not in
sisted that perfect white shoulder
scarf makes the meat better or the hog
more profitable or hardy.
But the Hampshires look to be as
near the ideal for an alfalfa country as
one could find. They have long head,
with maybe an extra pound or even
two pounds of extra weight in the add
ed length as compared with other hogs.
But the jowls are so much less fat,
that perhaps the percentage of head

1t is understood that Paul R. Kartzke

urged for this place, but his papers ar
not yet filed. Up to date, everybody
has lodged the epresentativeship like
rabbit lodging grizzly bear.
1t is expected that w. A. Heiss of
Jerome and T. H. Gooding of Shoshone
will again be in the field for commits
soner from their respective districts.
Richfield is so unanimous for George
R, Schwaner for commissioner-dem

it doesn't matter if he is filed on the
democratic ticket-he is sure of the
vote. 1t is understood that 0. E. Bor
den of Dietrich will file for the repub-
lican endorsement.
To date, the Recorder does not know
of many democratic aspirations. Tom
Robertson of Jerome is out for aud
itor; Miss Cook of Shoshone will prob
ably ask again for the school superin-
tendency; Harlan D. Heist will ask for
a second term as county attorney, Bert
Bowler aspires to be assessor; George
Redmon would like so be Sheriff; Geo.

asst date for filing nominations.

Candidates For County Offices
Some of the Names That Will Come Before the People
At the Primaries September denominations
Will Close Saturday Night.

Some interesting political develop
ments have come to pass since the pol
itical story for last weeks Recorder
was written.
At meeting held at Jerome, Thurs
day night of last week, the republicans
and the progressives of whom
are republicans with or without the
"ex"-reached an agreement on most
of the county ticket. The progressives
name the county attorney and the pro-
bate judge; their nominees will be Paul
S. Haddock of Shoshone for attorney,
and F. F. Reeves of Reeves of Rich
field for judge.
The men present, about 40 in all rep
resenting practically every section of
the county, agreed to support the geo
graphical apportionment proposed: To
give Jerome the sheriff and the treas
urer, Shoshone the auditor and attor-
ney, and Richfeld the assessor and pro-
bate judge. These apportionments
were agreed to largely because they
fitted in with the ambitions of we'll
known and acceptable candidates for
these Offices from these districts. No
one was endorsed by name, however
Under the agreement, any one could
enter the race for either office appor-
toned to his district. For that mat
ter, the whole field is open; no one can
bind other than himself to such appor-
tionment. But it appears so rational,
ga fair to every locality, and SO am
icable, that about nine out of every ten
will endorse it-and so would the tenth
if he could have started it first.
Under this arrangement, the candi-
dates will probably be:
A. F. Tage of Jerome for Sheriff.
Judge Walter Copp of Jerome for
treasurer
Paul S. Haddock of Shoshone for at

Flames DevOur Denecke Home
Another Disastrous Fire Visits Rchfeld, Making Third
on the Tract In Two Weeks---M. Cox on the Big
Wood, the Second Victim of the Series.

The old story about three fires
in succession has not yet proven
true in Richfield, but the second
disastrous fire occurred here. on
Monday afternoon, following the
Burton barn fire of ten days earl
ier. This time it was the Denecke
residence in the north part of town
that suffered.
1t was about four o'clock in the
afternoon, when Mrs. Denecke and
her two daughters, who were in the
house at the time, found blaze
coming out of a closet. 1t is sup
posed that the fire was started from
a chimney. When the door was
opened, great rush of flames fill
ed the house. Before word could
be sent down town for help, the
whole house was ablaze.
The fire department responded
as quickly as possible, and brought
up the hose cart with the $50 feet
OF hose. he house is on BannOck
street, and no hydrant for block
either way; the hydrants being two
blocks apart at that place. By the
time the hose could be attached,
the flames had completely envelop-
ed the house, and it was impossible
to save anything of the household
goods except what had been car
ried out at the first alarm.
About all the department could |
10 was to keep the flames from
spreading to other property. The
strong wind blowing at the time
made it impossible to do more than
his.

heir household goods, the home ac-
of years. No money

Mink Farm on Richfeld Tract

w. B. Lamb has been doing some
farming the past few months, that
would surprise a good many people
who have not known about or con-
sidered that kind of work. 1t is
Mink Farming.
Mr.. Lamb, who is an expert trap
per and hunter, conceived the idea
last winter that minks should do
well here The mink in its wild
state is one of the finest of all furs
and the big, almost black, glossy
Idaho skins top the whole market.
He trapped some fine specimens.
which he tried to save for breeding
Some of them were injured, and
died; some of the animals that he
trapped SO carefully as to not injure
them severely, got away; and SO he
did not start in with as big a num-
Der of breeders as he expected. But
he now has a nice lot of beautiful
little kittens, and they are growing
like bad weeds. They will be ready
for market this fall.
No, they don't all go to the fur
butcher There is fine market
for the live animals for breeding
purposes. Good animals can be
sold at from $50 to $50 pair. The
demand comes from all over the
country. Ouly this week he received
wire from firm back in Illinois,
wanting to know what he could
supply. and the price.
There are not many minks here
