NAVY EAGER FOR CHANGE
IN "PLUCKING" SYSTEM
Secretary Daniels Details Board to Recommend Amend
ments Of Present Law Which Will Provide
New Method of Retiring Officers

founded entirely on the opinion Of
members of the plucking board. with
out much regard 20 individual records
These records have been pronounced
incomplete and Inaccurate because
commanding officers who comment on
the fitness Of their juniors do not
always express their opinions, pre-
ferring TO avoid an isuue with those
criticised. and who have the right,
under such circumstances, 10 reply.
The system invites controversy which
commanding officers are usually anx-
ious 20 avoid
II Is probable that out OF the agita
ton will grow some amendment OF
the system of reporting on officers so
that the plucking board may have bet
ter facilities for determining relative
efficiency. II is proposed TO keep n
merit roll. which would aid in iden-
tifying officers who are at least eff
cient and who are eligible for "selec-
ton out"
Feeling in the navy on this subject
Is intense. and each year the APP
prehension among officers amounts al
most to decentralization. Mr.. Daniels
may decide that the easiest way out
Of an awkward and annoying situa-
ton will be TO have vacancies on the
navy register provided by some meth
cd other than plucking.

SCORED IT'S SIXTH VICTORY
THREE TO ONE.
First Quarter of the Season Ends
Showing Home Team to Be the
Class Of the League-Has Beaten
Each of the Opposing Teams Twice.
Idaho Falls Next Sunday.

The baseball game Sunday, when
Blackfoot and American Falls Teams
clashed on the local diamond, was
clean thoroughout and was in every
way the fastest that has been seen
on the home grounds this season. The
irrigated product of the Grove City
came down with determination to
carry home the scalp of the locals,
and until the last half of the sixth
inning, it looked as though they had
a fair chance to accomplish their pur-
pose The only encouraging feature
was that our boys we're able to hold
them down and keep the bases clear
practically all the time. In the third
Reed got as far as second base and in
the fifth Richmond got around to the
third sack.
When the locals came in to finish
their half of the sixth the batting or
der was about right, and everybody
who has watched the team during the
season, felt that this was the time
and place when business would be did.
The fans experienced little weakness
when Blair, the first man up, and
usually a mighty safe bitter, failed to
connect with the ball Ben Davis
came next and succeeded in slipping
over a grounder that was so hot that
it got by the infield and before the

Wigglesworth, the old reliable, follof7
ed. and clouted out a clean two-bag-
ger At this stage the hopes of the
local fans went up about thousand
per cent. and the noise increased
in about the same proportion. Men on
third and second and only one down,
with a string of safe sluggers right
on tap. Judy Lichleiter went in and
repeated the performance of Wig by
batting a clean two-bagger, scoring
Davis and Wig. Hooker got a safe
one that netted him two sacks and
scored Lichleiter. Sallee got a safe
hit and was enabled to get to second
base, but Hooker was caught at the
plate Paul Evans raised one over
into the left field, but the fielder was
there and the side was retired. This
ended the scoring business for the
locals.
In the eighth Blackfoot got its only
run. With two men down, Thorsen-
berg got a walk to first and scored
on line drive by Farquhar. In the
ninth Oliver struck out the first three
men up and the game was over.
The following record of the game
will show how it happened:

a few minutes Tuesday evening. Mr..

Portland. being engaged in the live
stock commission business with his

The old gentleman is now nearing
the eighty year mark. but time has
treated him so kidly that. judging from
his appearance. one would think that
half that time would cover the period
of his activities on earth.

BOUGHT REMINGTON HOTEL
Biggest Real Estate Deal In History
- of the Town.

The Hotel Remington. which has
been such great factor IN making
American Falls talked of throughout
the country, has been sold by the
builders and present owners, Messrs.
Philbrick & Greenwood to c. W
Thompson of St Anthony, a prominent
citizen Of that vicinity, ~
This hotel was buzz in the fall OF
1906. Riverside addition at that time
was in it's infancy, and the promoters
felt that a good hotel would aid much
in the development, not only Of The
town, but the country, in taking care
OF the new people who at that time
were beginning to come into this sec
ton, and such has been the case, and
the hotel today is considered by the
travelling public as one OF the best in
Idaho. This is due to the fact that
under all managements it's aim has
been not only to please the transient
guests in every way consistent with
first class hotel keeping. but also to
make 1t attractive to the regular
I guests
The first manager, II. W. Hall was
in charge until the summer of 1910,
at which time Mr.. George Stoll took
the management. continuing until Dec
ember 1st, 1913 At this time Mrs. l.
NJ. Arroll took tn hotel. Mrs. Arroll
came highly recommended as a woman
of business ability, and during the
short time which she has had charge
Of the Remington, has certainly proved
this fact TO be true, as she has handled
the business in a thoroughly compete
ent manner, not only pleasing the
guests, but making many friends in
American Falls. Mrs. Arroll will con-
tinue in charge for the time being
and it is to be hoped will conclude tc
stay.

ROCKLAND WILL CELEBRATE
Preliminary Arrangements for a Big
Blowout On the Fourth.

Superintendent Z. W. Fifeld was
over from his Rockland farm Saturday.
and while in town gave the Press man
little information on some of the
things that are going on in Rock
land.
The snowstorm Friday morning
lodged considerable of the heaviest
grain in the Rockland valley, but it
is the judgment of experienced men
that but little damage was done. 1t is
expected that unless a great amount of
wet weather follows. the wheat will
straighten up nicely again.
The greatest menace to the crop
this year seems TO be the squirrels.
These rodents are becoming numer-
Gus. and in some sections are doing
considerable damage at this time.
]. T. Fisher has purchased c. ].
Clarks farm at Sand Hollow.
Preliminary arrangements for big
celebration on the Fourth of July have
been completed. 1t is the hope Of the
promoters to eclipse all previous
efforts along this line. which means
that they will have to produce some
celebration. n
