PORTLAND, April 1.-THE
The Portland Colts are looking
better every day. Taken "a a
whole, when the team has finish
ed its preseason series, the Colts
should be In fine shape to do bat
tie with the Seattle Giants On
opening day.
Signal work has been INDUCED
in to a great extent, Manager Nick
Williams driving his men hard,
and he has consequently made
much improved showing of the
entire squad.
Pitchers Are Laid Up.
So far Pitcher Martinoni, one
of last years regulars, and a re-
cruit named Jameson, have done
little work. Both have suffered
a good deal from sore arms. jam
ieson is now in Eugene, under the
care of specialist.
Bobby Coltrin is playing a SEN
sational game at short, Bancroft's
old stand. He will most likely
continue to play this position, un-
less Bancroft again rejoins the
Colts.
What Babe" Reams, last sea-
son with the Boise Tri-Staters,
can really do is yet unknown, as
he has been laid up with a bad
ankle and will not be able to get
into the game before the opening
of the season. He was signed to
play second base.
First Is Weak Spot.
Fulton has not shown the
strength expected of him at first,
and this position seems to be the
weakest spot on the whole team.
1t will be hard to get another Bill
Speas or another Harry Heilman.
Terry McKune, an old North
western and Coast league favorite,
bids fair to become a real come
back" His showing has been one
of the pleasant surprises of the
Colt camp.
Recruits in Outfield.
Frank Guigni, last years util-
ity player. will in all probability
play third. Last year he was
known as the worst "bonehead"
In the lineup, and could not be
depended on while running bases.
However, Williams has worked
hard with him, and used many
threats, all for Franks own
good.
Dave Milligan, a recurit from
Grand Rapids. who tried out with
the Portland Beavers, has been
turned over to Nick. Milligan is
nifty hitter and fast on the
bases. He will be used in the out
field, together with two recruits
named Whit and Harmon. MILL
gan is good man.
The backstop question Is still In
the air. Murray, one of last
years men, is the only one sure
OF his job at this time. Williams
is waiting to hear from McCredie.
who will probably turn over
Catcher Perkins, now with the
Beavers.

fellow is a pretty nifty hurler.

Gravity Of q SPINNING TOP.

A spinning top Is kept from falling
because of the speed with which 1t re-
wolves. The attraction of gravitation
Is temporarily overcome by the centrif-
ugal force produced by the rotation of
the top when 1t Is spun. Each part
of the top is subject to the same CEN
trifugal force as each other part at the
same distance from the axis of rota-
ton and 10 no greater force. so that
there Is no cause for the top being
pulled In any particular direction by
the force of gravity. AS soon as the
centrifugal force begins to lessen be-
cause Of lessening speed Of rotation the
attraction of gravity begins to be ex-
erted again and the top begins to wob,
BILE When the spinning motion di-
minishes to such an extent that the
attraction of gravitation becomes great
er than the centrifugal force the top
falls to one side.

The Garden of Edea has been To-
Gated by theorists in pretty nearly
every part of the globe from the north
pole to the equator Common be!lef,
however, and in this instance tradi-
ton is probably right, has placed IL
between the Euphrates and I1grls
rivers and near the seat of ancient
Babylon. But for centuries, owing 10
the neglect and misgovernment OF
man the land has been anything but
a garden. 1t has been nothing Dut
a desolate wilderness and the lurking
place of wild beasts. Now 1t rs 10
be transformed by the agency OF lrrl-
CATION canals into fertile country
that will rival in its beauty and pro-
ductiveness the Eden of old. Liter
ally will the predictions of the pro
phet be fulfilled, 'The wilderness
and the solitary place shall be glad
for them; and the desert shall re-
joice, and blossom as the rose, And
the parched ground shall become a
pool, and the thirsty land springs OF
water
But one need not go to the far
east to see such miracles wrought by
human hand and skill. Here in many
sections of Idaho the same thing has
been done. Vast areas OF sun-scorch-
ed and barren land have been con-
verted into fruitful fields and orchards.
at large there are now thousands OF
happy and contented homes. And the
work Is still going on and will so
continue until the greater part, per-
haps, of the arid lands of the west
and southwest are reclaimed to min
lister to the needs of man. How the
Great American Desert that once fill
ed our fences and our biographies

Say" said the wise guy" to the
patient listener. did you hear about
that fellow who came In on a South
American liner the other day and no
body could make him understand any
one Of seventeen different languages?
They even tried him with the deaf
and dumb stuff. but he only shook bis
head and said nothing. Finally they
had to send him back to the boat. and
he'll probably spend the rest OF his life
sailing back and forth between here
and South America. as nobody knows
what country he comes from. bet |
could find where he halls from. Sim

This town Is good enough" said
man the other day when asked TO
help in some enterprise designed to
further its interests. That was a
foolish statement to make for no town
is good enough. No matter how supe-
rior may be the advantages possessed
there is always something better be-
yond and which may be got by going
after it. At one time a rushlight was
good enough but in these days of gas
and electric light the rushhght is out
OF date, and he would be foolish
man who should use it If the superior
light is at his disposal. SO board
walks and other conveniences of form
er days are obsolete in these days of
progress with their higher standard
of comfort and usefulness.

A WORD TO THE WISE.

It is, of course, no part of our pro-
gram to direct the course OF any
candidate for office or to presume TO
suggest to the experienced any method
for cajoling voters. But we are per-
haps not too amieable In going bit
out of the way to print story that
we lately found in an American weel :
ly as it was clipped from an English
periodical. Elmore county candidates
for office in the coming election may
profit by it. The campaign episode
related was as follows:
Just before election day, the col
onel, who was one Of the candidates,
learned that a certain Irishman in
his district was going to vote for
him. Pm glad to hear that, Pat, "
said he. Il rather thought you We're

The Power Situation

heCOSHlZlnS the 6AIeuL VI PoPulai
interest in the power situation In
Southern Idaho, and believing that
the public as a whole is fair mind
ed in its judgment when fully inform
ed upon a subject We desire to pre-
sent the real situation in a concise
and truthful manner for general con-
sideration by our customers.
The Utilities Act is sweeping
one. On one hand it is intended to
protect the public against excessive
rates and poor or inadequate service,
and on the other hand it is supposed
to protect those who have invested
their money in developing the re-
sources of the state from unwise
and wasteful competition In this
particular it is exactly like all the
State Utility Acts. This company
did not at first favor the passage of
the Public Utilities Bill. 1t was con-
sidered more Or less premature. In
the power business, it gave the
Commission exclusive jurisdiction O.
Yer rates. 1t seemed to have the sup
port Of the people, however, and be-
came law by act of the Legisla-
ture.
Our schedule of lighting rates has
been somewhat higher than that of
our competitor, and it is this sched-
ule that the Commission has order
ed reduced. Our rates for sign light
ing, irrigation, pumping, water heat
ng, cooking, residence and commercial
heating, and the average rates for
lower, etc, are and always have been
over than those of our competitor.
In cities and towns the size of
hose in Idaho, it is impossible, and
! thing unknown elsewhere, to have
my permanent competition on &C
cunt of the duplication of great and
rowing investments and because of
he high cost of maintaining and OPP
rating two systems.
We truly believe that if the public
you'd make a careful study OF the
ituatioD, as those concerned have
one, they would be as adverse
as we are ourselves. Elk
erience has proven that competitive
last for but very short
eriod in any case, and that sooner
r later the interests involved COM
Inc either through mutual agree
lent, actual necessity or on account
the sheer power of money. Then
that? The law provides that the
commission must make such rates
" every Company as will produce
revenue to allow them to
arm a reasonable return upon their
lvestment. If competition is per-
i4T'Su, TIC investment Ill Gdcl local.
y will be duplicated, and, sooner or
