NEW U. s. MARSHAL.

Thomas B. Martin has been appointed
United States marshal for Idaho, his
nomination having been sent in last
Wednesday by the president. There has
been considerable of contest over this
place, a number of most excellent men
having been candidates and all with
their supporters. The new marshal is
an excellent man for the place, tho
roughly qualified and deserving and as
the hackers of the other men went down
the line with their favorities there are
not apt to be any sore spots as a tele-
gram from Leroy G. Jones, the strongest
opposition Martin had, sent to the
senate upon the news of the nomination
asking them to Immediately confirm
and speaking in the highest terms of
Martin, is indicative Of the fair spirit
of the friends of the candidate. The
new appointee as yet has not named his
deputies but it is reasonable to believe
North Idaho will not be overlooked
when the selection is made.

$4,000 complete. This is undoubtedly
the best that can be done for the

BASKET BALL NEWS.
High School Lost to vollmer-Fast
Talent on Local Lineup.

The Grangeville High school basket
ball team went down to defeat, 26 to 10.
Saturday evening at the gymnasium in
the new high school building at the
hands of the fast vollmer players but
it was highly creditable defeat and
the manner in which the locals worried
the visitors who had the advantage Of
whole seasons play and teamwork
evidenced the fact that Coach Bran
DOM cohorts are foe to be reckoned
with.
The locals should be credited with
much better showing than the score
would indicate, for in the opening
periods of the game, particularly, they
outplayed the Vollmer lads by spurts
and at times really outclassed the visi-
tors by individual play. The home
boys, however, were up against superb
or organization and the excellence of
the visiting aggregation s teamwork
told in the end. In the last half num-
Der of substitutions were made by the
locals, Gilbert Eimers, who is a star at
the game, and Henry Munro, taking up
the burdens of Ernest Richards and
Mac Leonard. Sam Kennedy, at cen
Ter, starred for the Grangeville team,
and Homer Mcdonald and Floyd Gilbert
played consistent ball throughout. Ern-
est Richarda wae varv offocfivo IN de-
fensive work while he was in the game
and Mac Leonard also made his pres
enee known. Eimers is a heady, re-
sourceful player who knows the game
from all angles. For the visitors Potter
and Smith were in the lin eight most.
Two teams made up of high school
girls, augmented by the "Misses" Nc
donald and vanSlyke, entertained the
crowd with a lively game prior to the
main contest. A fair sized crowd was
present to witness the game.
What promises to be a splendid game
Is that scheduled for tomorrow evening,
Friday, at the new gymnasium, when an
segregation under the style Of CAN
stars" will clash with the regular high
school team. The All-Stars have Van
slse' Eimers, Fisher, Monroe, Turner
ana Edwards and win give the High
school boys run for their money. Bet
Ter plan to see this game; it's sure to
be hummer.

THE WAY PORTUGAL ruNIsHEs

Republican Portugal still tolerates
a prison whose carefully planned,
diabolical torture is enough to make
prison reformers turn in their graves.
In this prison, called the Prison of
Silence" in grim castle on the out
skirts of Lisbon, nearly everything
that human ingenuity can suggest to
terrify the prisoners is DONE The cor
ridors, piled tier on tier five stories
high, extend from common center
like the spokes of huge wheel.
The cells are narrow and tomblike
and within each stands a coffin. The
attendants creep about in felt slip
pers. No one is allowed to utter a
word. The silence is that of the
grave. Once day the cell doors are
unlocked and the half thousand
wfetches march out clothed in shrouds
and with faces covered by masks for
it is part of this hideous punishment
that none may look upon the count
enances of his fellow prisoners. Few
of them endure this torture for more
than ten years.-Saskatchew Her

ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION
PLANNED BY SHACK LETON

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Expressing
the keenest regret that the import

be made by Sir Ernest Shackleton, on
his contemplated trip completely
across the Antarctic plateau should
not have fallen to an American ex-
plorer, Admiral Robert Il. Peary, dis
coverer of the North Pole, today de-
clared he believed Shackleton has
every chance of succeeding in one of
the most remarkable polar expedi-
tions ever attempted.
The trip proposed by Shackleton,
crossing the plateau from Weddel
sea to Ross sea. with the South Pole
merely stopping point, would have
been a "walkover" for men trained
and having the benefit of experience
on the trip to the North Pole in the
Peary expedition, the admiral de-
clared.
For four years." said Peary, 81
have urged that such an expedition
be fitted out. The Roosevelt, the
greatest ice fighting ship afloat,
could have been put in commission
at little expense. The entire cost Of
the undertaking would not have ex-
