Let's Vote the Old Way

There's some democratic politicians
Who would win a prize,
If the Ananias club
Would pay for telling lies.
They told US they would help us
By Tariff legislation,
And do a lot of things
To benefit the nation.
And some of us poor suckers
Believed just what they said;
And now we are all guessin'
Where we'll get our meat and bread.
Did they reduce the cost of Twin?
Well. it don't look that way;

About the only reduction
Is a reduction in our pay.

About the only reduction
Is a reduction in our pay.
l don't know how they do it,
But they always ball things some,
And the devil couldn't straighter
things,
Till after they are done. .
Will we trust them again?
Well, / hardly think we will:
All we've got to do
Is to watch our grocery bill.
Now that they have the prices
Away above the skies,
How are we going to compete
With them foreign labor guys?
Well, we that caused it
Haven't much to say,
But when we vote again
Let's vote the good old way.

Lost Desirable F arm
 Though Saved l0c

BOISE Idaho-Howard Ware of Filler has good cause for self-con- graduation because of his fore thought, while Leonard F. Smith of the same place will probably long regret his lack of it.
 Both citizens wanted to file a homestead entry upon the same quarter section of land. The land is desirable It is situated about forty-two miles south of Filler and three miles north of the Nevada line and is officially known as sec tion 19, township 16 south, range Is east. There are stakes upon the land to indicate the route of the proposed railroad from Twin Falls to Humboldt Wells via Contact.
 Both sent their applications by mail Mr. Ware affixed a special delivery stamp, MT. Smith did not
 The moment the mail arrived the deputy postmaster hurried to the land office with the special delivery letter, and MT. Wares entry was made instanter.
 About fifteen minutes later one of the clerks brought to the land office with the regular mail an ap- plication from MT Smith for the same land. He has missed the goal by neglecting to pay Uncle Sam for immediate delivery.

l four victories in as many branches of sport relay racing and golf, and the brow of another angle, boxing.
 rrass-court tennis, and our hopes are centered in billiards, the Davis cup matches and the cup races. Ritchie's loss to the Welshman came as a distinct shock to the American sporting public. Despite the reported odds in favor of Welsh 90 per cent of the fans in the United States expected the San Francisco lightweight to defeat the Britisher with the feather-duster punch.
 As far back as November 30. 1911, the two sampled each others wares. Then Ritchie was comparative novice. while Welsh was at the zen ith of his power Yet Ritchie, sub stituting for Wols&st at a days no tice. put up as creditable fight as he did recently.
 Two factors-the anti-crowd and the ban on infishting doubtless worked against the American. but, for all of that, fans on this side of the water look for Willie to regain the title when these two lads come together in the fall for the return match.
 When il was announced some weeks ago that Ritchie had forced Welsh to sign for return bout be- fore giving him number one. Harry Foley, his deposed manager, said: It's beyond me The boy must be crazy. see no reason for signing two matches"
 Perhaps Foley can now understand Ritchie's headwork If he really and truly tied the Welshman down to return match it will prevent the Britisher pulling the usual two year pugilistic stall that has become so firmly fixed in all fistic departments nowadays.
 Ritchies real name is Geary Stef= fen and Welsh answers to the name Frederick Hail Thomas. Ritch- ie is 23 years old and Welsh 2S.

Draining Ground.

Ruby Record-Citizen: John k. Mcdonald came in from Swift creek yesterday, where he with John Cur ran and Micky McGough are running up bedrock drain in order to cross cut the creek, which is too wet in many places to prospect in the win ter It is about 12 to 15 feet to bed rock. They have run drain about 600 feet and now have a nine-foot face. AS they are near the head of the creek they are greatly handi- capped by shortage of water. This las been overcome to limited de- gree by building a slush dam.
 Swift is tributary of Basin creek coming in on the left limit and heading just across the divide from Last Chance, tributary of Long creek. Very encouraging prospects were found two years ago but wet ground has prevented it's being thoroughly prospected. Last year q ilttle gold was taken out OH lHe creek which gave encouragement to run up a drain.
 Hansen X Hansen are prospect ing about two miles below McDon- aid and partners and about mile up from the mouth They are also running bedrock drain. They have more water than the boys above and expect to be to bedrock within 30 days.
 In speaking of the showing the creek has made. Mcdonald said: Its just good prospect, that's all" The gold is coarse and so far has been found in the gravel. They are about three and halt miles from Long City by going over the divide between upper Long and Basin creeks.
