fans can't see why amy new tangled

there are many others who are Won

to be adopted.
Jack Doyle explains how 14l bill

you see, said Doyle, the 1871
game has been too difficult for the
majority OF players, while the 1S,2
game has just been the opposite too
easy, SO the students Of the sport got
their heads together and they hit up
on the li1 style They believe that
this will be lust a happy medium to
the other two gamcs-not too hard
or too soft
"You know originally billiards was
lplayed with four balls. two white and
two red. William Mckay Of this city
won the first championship at plain
lrail play some forty years ago. How
ever, such men as Jack shade became
so expert at this form Of play that
they could make runs up into the
hundreds without any seeming effort

President Gilmore is quoted as say
ing that the Federal league does not
propose TO play ball at a lower scale
of admission than is charged by the
major league clubs. and the club own
ers Of organized baseball declare this
alone will beat them 1t is believed
that the baseball fans win refuse to
pay top prices TO see teams in a mi
nor league class play in the same
towns where major league teams arc
located, and that towns like Baltimore.
Buffalo. indianapolis and Kansas City
will never support q major league ball
club. This is 10 be seen.
Ban johnson has assumed the att-
tude of ignoring the Federals. At first,
when the National league appeared to
be the target for the invaders, John
son gave them little attention but he,
too, took them seriously when some
Of the American league players were
obtained. The American league leader
declares there will be no direct attack
on the Federals, but admits that plans
have been laid for checking them.
Johnson Is Of the opinion that the
best way to beat them is to let them
go ahead and fall under their own
weight.

But this reverse did not stop the
Federals. They simply changed their
course of action. Now they are bend
ing every effort TO build up strong
circuit, get what players they can for
this season and prove that they mean
business. If they 60 through the
season they will be harder 10 beat
next year for the players will have
more confidence in them and be will
ing TO take a chance Of signing for a
little extra money. There is very lit
tie sentiment in baseball. The players
as well as the magnates are out for
the money,
One thing has been proven. the
Federal league has money behind It
and money usually talks What is
more the Federal promoters are will
ing to spend It. Whether they viii feel
this way after another season is
question. 1t has cost the men behind
the movement q barrel OF money all
ready. 1t is reported, and not denied
that not one of the Federal league
clubs made money last year. in fact 1t
is said st. Louis lost $4,000, Pitts
burgh sunk $4,000, while Cleveland
proved such a failure that the fran
ehise was transferred this year. Then
men in organized baseball declare it
is impossible for the Federals to
make money in the towns they have
selected for their circuit. The Fcderals
will find out this year That is part Of
their planning and they declare they
are willing TO spend money too. two
or three years to find out where the
money can be made. It's a costly way
to experiment and the men who have
been through this sort of a fight be-
fore claim that it is a losing one.

scess of the bladder. Mr.. Baird, who
was born at Little Rock, Ark, in
1888, has been closely connected with
this country for many years, having
come to Idaho in 1863. At one time
he was resident of Ola, being the
owner of the G. H. Holbrook ranch
of that place. After residing at Ola
for several years he was elected
sheriff of Boise county, after which
he served term as assessor of the

LATE WAR NEWS.

!. There is very little war news of al
authentic nature to give this week
but conditions should improve, as tn
London office has lifted the ban OF
war correspondents.
The following summary is taker
from today's papers:
A dispatch from Paris says the
French capital is one vast arsenal, in
preparation for possible attack by the
Germans.
One of the new war notes of the
day heard was the report that Spain
would likely join the allies against
Germany.
The fercest fighting of the war is
now in progress in Belgium and along
the frontier, according to all reports.
The loss of life is described as shock
ing. Out of the mass of rumors and
from the official reports the conclu-
sion is unacceptable that the Germans
are slowly forging ahead. 1t is point
ed out, however, that their progress
has not yet been met by the main
bodies of the allies.
There is a persistent rumor that
the Germans have occupied Brussels,
but it cannot be confirmed.
An official notice issued in Brussels
says that fighting is proceeding be-
tween the allied armies and the Ger
mans along the entire battle front of
the Swiss border north to Dieste, Bel
GUM, distance of approximately 200
miles.
The communication also admitted
that the Germans had gained ground
on both the north and south banks of
the Mouse river.
A dispatch from Brussels says the
German troops are reported short |
distance east and northeast Of Ant
verp.
The Japanese ambassador in Berlin
s preparing to depart, according to
Copenhagen dispatch, in view of the
rejection of the japanese Ill
imatum to Germany to evacuate Chi
lese ports.
A Russian force was reported to
ave been defeated near Stallupchnen
n Russia, recently, by the Germans,
Who captured a thousand prisoners
nd six machine guns.
An engagement was said to have
cen proceeding in northern Luxem-
urg, and an important Franco-Ger-
IAN battle was expected to ensue.

IMPORTANT PRIMARY FEATURE
Voters May Name Their Choice. for
Precinct Committeeman

One of the very important features
in connection with the coming prim
aries is the selection of committee
men of each precinct of county II
all parties. Heretofore central com.
mitteemen were selected in convention
The new primary law as amended by
the last legislature indicates how
committeeman shall be named. A
place is left on the ballot of each
party and the choice of the voter for
committeeman is written in the space.
The following provision Of the new
law will make the matter clear:
At the primary election held on the
first Tuesday in September as herein
provided, each voter may write in the
space left on the ticket for that pur-
pose, the name of one qualified cleo
tor of the precinct in which he is vot-
ing for member of the county CEN
trail committee of the party of which
he is a member. The one receiving
the higest number of votes shall be
committeeman of such precinct. The
county central committee of each
political party in each county shall
consist of the precinct committeeman
elected in the several precincts of
the county at the primaries of the
county at the primary election. Such
committee shall serve until their sue
cessors are elected in like manner at !
the following primary election. The
county central committee so elected
shall meet at the court house at the
county seat of each county at IL
o'clock m. on the 10th day after the
primary election and organize by
electing a chairman, secretary and
such other officers as they may desire,
who shall hold office during the plea
sure of such committee, and at the
same time and place they shall also
elect one qualified elector of the same
political party as a member Of the
state central committee of that party,
and the state central committee shall
consist of one such committeeman
from each county.
The state central committee of each
political party shall meet at the seat
of state government on the third Tues
day in September after the primary
election and organize by electing a ,
chairman, vice chairman, secretary
and other officers"

Crop DESTROYED by Fire.

A very destructive fire was occa-
stoned at the home of Bert Cox on
upper Brownlee last Sunday. 1t re-
suited in the burning of his barn and
most of his crops. The fire, which is
supposed to have been accidentally
started by the 5-year-old son of Mr..
Cox, completely destroyed the barn,
a new buggy, three sets of harness, a
saddle, two stacks of oats and 70 tons
of hay. A heroic effort was made to
eXtinguish the flames, but the confa-
grafton had gained such Roadway
when discovered that it was of no
avail. The damage is estimated at
$500. A small insurance covered the
barn, but otherwise the loss is total.

LEWIS IN A WALK.
Weiser Paper Predicts His NOmina'
ton by Large Plurality.

The Weiser Signal is very optimis-
tic over the chances of M. E. Lewis
being the successful contestant for
gubernatorial honors in the primar-
les to be held September l. That
paper says:
Everything points to the nomi-
nation of M. E. Lewis for governor
by a large plurality. The north is
solidly behind him, and the southeast
is swinging to him because they have
become satisfied the sentiment against
Haines is too strong. Word comes that
the governor will not get hundred
votes in Twin Falls county and that
practically every voter is for Lewis.
The same thing is true of Lincoln and
Gooding counties, while Ada, Canyon,
Boise, Washington and Adams coun-
ties are sure to give handsome major
tiles for the man from the north. Up
to week ago there was considerable
Haines sentiment in the Mormon coun-
ties north of Pocatello, but it is fading
away and the prediction is now freely
made that Lewis will carry majority
of them, and will get everything from
Pocatello south. Judge Stephens will
get some support around Idaho Falls
ard in other sections, and they give
as their reason for reaching this con-
clusion that the farmers of the state
are rising as one man and demanding
his nomination. Mark our prediction
Lewis is an easy winner.

David Vahlberg, who was a guest
at the Graves home on the bench Sat
urday night, had a rather moist ex-
perience the next morning. Accord
ing to reports, Dave and the Graves
boys rode their horses to the river
and as the air was fresh and cool they
decided to ford the river and explore
the other side. Dawes horse was
skittish and did not want to get into
the water, but by considerable per-
suation he was induced to do So When
well toward the center of the stream,
the horse slipped and fell and his rider
tumbled off into the water. The horse
made his way back to shore, leaving
Dave to take care of himself. The
water was not deep, but it was deep
enough to give him thorough wet
ting, the only dry article on his body
being the lining of his cap. The horse
was caught and Dave Immediately
hiked for home, six miles distant, to
get change of clothes.

"PEP"-A BOOK FOR THE UPLIFT
Efficiency, Mental and Physical, the
Aim of Col. William Hunter.

|
Colonel William C. Hunter, known
to Emmett people as the sage of Froz-
en- Dog ranch, has written another
book for business people. A recent
issue of the Kansas City Star, pays
the work the following very fiattering
compliment:

by the versatile Col William C. Hun
ter of Kansas City, author of Doll
airs and Sense Brass Tacks,' and adj
vertising director for the entire chain
of IA stores operated by the j. W.
Jenkins Music company.
Colonel Hunter strives in this, his
most ambitious effort, to promote fur
Their physical and mental efficiency in
way thoroughly rational and appeal
ing to all in pursuit of business sue
cess or pleasure. The title Pep is no
mere slang term to Colonel Hunter,
but an acrostic, red from Poise- Eff
ciency-Peace' In lucid manner and
in refined phrasing the principles of
right living are forcefully imposed
upon the reader and Pep following
the sale of Colonel Hunters former
books, which have neared the half
million mark in sales, should find a
hearty reception. Pep is published
by the Reilly & Britton Company, Chi
cago, at the net price of 81.
