A YEARS PROGRESS
IN SCHOOLS
Magnificent Exhibit of the Work
of Pupils in all
Branches

The annual exhibit of the work of
pupils in the city schools Thursday
and Friday of last week was splen-
did showing of efficiency of the present
system employed in developing and
training of the pupils, from the prim-
ary grade to the most advanced class.
In the work presented one could easily
trace the systematic development of
the pupils. The trail of progress was
plainly and definitely blazed. Each
class had class exhibit and each pu-
pill had an individual exhibit, repre-
sented by bound booklets contain
ing written work in all branches.
There were also wall exhibits by each
class. None of the work was
made especially for the occasion, but
was selected from the every day work
of the pupils.
The domestic science department
made a fine display of both fancy
and plain needlework and cookery.
The agricultural class made a speci-
al feature of the method employed in
testing the terminating properties of
seed corn. A demonstration of stock
judging was also made.

Rev. RambO Leaves

The people of Emmett regret very
much the departure of Rev. w. E.
Rambo, Mrs. Rambo and family. Not
ouly the membership of their own
chuch, but the Christian people of the
community, and every one who is in
terested in the welfare and upbuild-
ing of the city, will miss them very
much. They have been with US for
nearly two years, and in all of their
intercourse with US, we have found
them to both honorable and Christian
The people of Chehalis, where they
have located, are to be congratulated
upon receiving Brother and Sister
Rambo among them. We feel that
their place in our community will be
very hard, indeed, to fill. Xxx

THE GAME WENT Ten
INNINGS
Payette Nosed Out in the Final
The Score Was
s to Z.

1t took ten innings to decide Sun
days game with Payette. Despite the
raw atmosphere and numerous errors,
the contest was interesting and at
times fast and exciting, and several
times the fans were brought to their
feet by brilliant plays. Payette nosed
out in the tenth inning by one score,
the final being to 7.
Emmett presented number of the
"old guard"a and a sprinkling of young
sters. Ed Hayes was in his old posi-
ton at first, Elmer Holverson took
care of second, Reub Eaton at times
displayed some of his old time form at
short, and Sam Mcmillan watched
over the destinies of the third sack.
Laurel Wells pitched fine game and
batted well. He struck out IL men
and hit for one three-bagger and
single. Frank Carter did good work
at the receiving end, considering this
was the first time he had touched a
ball this season. In the field were
Claude Policy, Pres. Chapman and Kip
Harrell. The local bunch were garbed
in startling medley of suits and colors.
Ed Hayes wore a suit that he used 25
years ago when playing with Cald-
well, and it recalled to his mind the
last time he wore it. The Caldwell
team, under the leadership of Walt Sc
bree, went to Baker City to play. The
Baker team was composed of league
players and was so strong that Cald-
well would have been shut out but
for an accident. A wild pitch went
past the catcher to the fence. The
batter struck at it for the third strike
The ball bounced through a knot hole
in the fence and the runner made a
home run-the only score for Caldwell
in the game. But to get back to the
Sunday game:
Payette scored four times in the
first inning, once in the sixth, twice
in the ninth, which tied the score, and
once in the tenth-total 8.
Emmett scored two in the seconc,
three in the third, one in the fourth,
one in the fifth-total T.
Summary-Struck out by Wells IL /; |

At Lincoln School

Many town people made visit to
the Lincoln school to see what Mr.. and
Mrs. Tyler's boys and girls are doing
and they were astonished at the work
being done. The schol is miniature
agricultural college in itself, and it is
surprising to note the interest that is
taken in school work. Mr.. Tyler has
a pen of thoroughbred Poland hogs
and a pen of Black Minorca chickens,
in which every child is interested and
practical instruction is given in feed
ing Besides the exhibits of regular
school work, there were splendid ex-
hibits of the manual training depart
ment-cement work, such as minia-
ture watering troughs for the barn
yard, bricks, fancy mouldings, etc.
There were specimens of basket weav-
ing and carpenter work that showed
skill and taste. But the top-notcher
was the well cooked dinner served
by Ethel Jordan, Ethel Cantrall,
Geneva Moulton, Muriel Needles and
Alice Moulton, under the direstion of
Mrs. Tyler. None of the girls is
over II years of age. The table was
nicely set, the food was nicely cooked
and was served with all the grace and
precision of matron of mature years.
On thing is very marked in the Lin
coin school, That is the close CO.
operation and harmony of pupils and
and parents. 1t is more like
a great family than school. A few
weeks ago it was limited that the
school board had under consideration
the Lincoln school with the
central school. Of course, no serious
was given to such a
plan, but we would hate to be on the
BOARD that should attempt it. There
would be such a revolution of such di-
nensions that the Mexican war would
resemble a prayer meeting in COM
,arison. Mr.. and Mrs. Tyler are do

Tries to Clog Tunnel.

The patrons of the Canyon canal
were amazed Sunday afternoon to
note that the water had been turned
out. They would also have been
alarmed had they heard the frantic
yells issuing forth from one of the
tunnels. Whoops, which would
be a credit to any Comanche chief,
were following each other in rapid
succession and but for the timely as
sistance and forethought of one of the
members of the expedition, the whoop-
er would probably still be whooping.
A party of district officials were up
the ditch on a tour of inspection and
decided to drive through one of the
tunnels. Some of the meeker mem
bers of the party walked over the hill,
and some of the others probably want
ed to, but the team was not used to
going through alone, so big brave
attempted the journey. When about
half way through the passage, the
horses stopped. The buggy stopped
also, and so did the driver. Simultan-
eous with the stopping began series
of frantic yells-yells which were CIV
in earnest-yells of entreaty, com
mand and supplication. The echo and
re-echo of the volume of sound issu-
ing from the black interior was inaudi-
BILE, but member finally caught the
word waste gate" and those on the
outside forthwith turned the water
through the Squaw Creek waste gate,
and within about half an hour the cave
man was rescued The president of
the company should be commended for
not having had lock placed on the
waste gate, as the rescue might have
been impossible without diverting the
food of water.

Tango Wigs

The latest craze is the Tango wig,
or hair that will harmonic in color
with your dress. For instance, if you
have brindle dress and striped hose
you must have a wig to match or
you'll be out of style. Mrs Stein
bower is agent for these wigs and will
order them for you. They come in all
colors- s-green, purple, tango, new
blue, red, mahogany, pink, etc. Only
SO each. Emmett ladies should get in
the game.

Payette Valley Loses Road

The state highway commission de-
cided against the Payette valley in
selecting a route through Canyon
county for the state highway. The
road will run from Boise to Nampa,
and from thence to Weiser by way of

ments, the same as are used by East

The Commercial club, at a special
meeting held Thursday evening to con-
slider the proposed state highway, a.
dopted resolutions endorsing the ser
vices of VIM. Findley and Anthony

have been retired from Office by the

Whereas, These gentlemen, while
in Office, have been disinterestedly de-
voted to the welfare of this commun-
ity in judiciously expending public
funds upon the public highways where
improvements were most called for,
and where an equitable distribution of
public moneys required that such
funds should be applied; and,
Whereas, The Commercial Club of
the city of Emmett, Idaho, express
ing as they believe the same sentiment
of all members of this community,
heartily indorses the conduct of these
gentlemen while in office, and are
deeply conscious of a public loss by
their involuntary retirement in so ar
bitary manner; now, therefore,
"Be it resolved, That the CONNER
ical Club of the city of Emmett, Ida
ho, does hereby express its sincere re-
gret at the loss of the valuable public
services of Anthony Peterson andWil-
liam Findley as road overseers of
their road districts; that they do here
by tender their cordial thanks to these
gentlemen for the faithful, loyal, zeal
Gus, and judicious discharge of their
public duties while in office, and that
they do hereby signify their hope that
the policies pursued by these retiring
officials may be fully adopted and car
ried out by their successors.
"Be it further resolved, That the
secretary of this club is hereby in
structed to forward copy of these
resolutions to the members of the
Board of County Commissioners of
Conyon County, Idaho, and also to

EVERYTHING INDICATES
STANLEY in A WALK.

Garry Louisville and you will win
in walk" was a message sent to
Congressman Stanley yesterday by a
man who has made a careful poll of
nearly every county in Kentucky.
His estimate shows that in the First
and Second districts Stanley's ma
jorities will be extremely heavy and
that Stanley has made such rapid
strides during the past two weeks in
what were thought to be Beckham
strongholds that he will carry num-
Der of counties that have been rath-
er generally conceded to Beckham
and will run Beckham so close in 9TH
err counties where Beckham is con-
sidered strong that some of the ma
iorities Beckham has counted on in
the central and eastern parts of the
State will dwindle to little or moth
ing.
That Louisville will go for Stanley
by handsome majority seems fore
gone conclusion, and if the predic-
lions of the friend referred to above
is correct Stanley is as good as NOM
mated now.
Since the Stanley organization got
into working order daily reports
have been coming into the Stanley
headquarters fir m every county in
the State, and the returns are better
than had been anticipated The cir
eulatioh of SANKEY'S Louisville
speech has made thousands Of votes
for Stanley in all sections of the
State. Demands for it continue to
come in every day.
In addition to the Louisville speech,
&c, 900 copies of which have been dis
tributed, the Stanley managers have
issued another campaign sheet, con-
tanning Stanley's speech at Murray,
his speech at Shelbyville and the
complete record of the Baltimore
National Convention of 1912, which
shows that Beckham has been in err
ror In the statements he has made
concerning his vote against William
Jennings Bryan in the convention.
Several thousand copies of this sheet
were sent out yesterday and more
will be distributed to-day. L ouis-
vile Times.

ANDERSON NEWS
THROWS BOUQUET
To Stanley Says He is The
Worthy Successor
OF Goebel.

The Anderson News of July 10Th,
after printing two columns concern
ing Congressman Stanley's speech at
Lawrenceburg, in behalf of his can
didacy for the U. s. Senatorial NOM
ination says:
Never, slice we have been able to
attend public speakings, have we
heard sarcasm and vitriolic words of
tongue used by any man as was done
by Congressman Stanley Monday
night.
His vocabulary Is as full of deep
cutting words as he is able to be elo-
quent. and no person can say he Is
not capable of doing either to a
queens taste. His excoriation of
men and measures and being able to
paint them in word pictures of the
humblest understanding, is his long
suit Eloquent, forcefGl, adroit,
courageous and resourceful at all
times, and debater, the best we be-
lieve, or the equal of the best in the
country.
William Goebel, for brevity, sar-
casm, virtriolic usages was the equal
of any man in the country at the
time o. his death, and Owsley STAN
ley is a worthy successor in every
sense of the word.
