Dicky? asks Ike. 'Dicky Mears!

HE was scratched from head to foot
and covered with blue mud, but the
girl ran to him just as he was and he

head down and just cried for joy. Even
Ike looked little foolish at that.
"When she had done crying Dicky
put his arm round her waist and
turned to Ike.

NEW FIELD ExcITEs OIL MEN.

Oil men are becoming excited over
the discovery of what is said to be an
extension of the famous Glenn Pool The
Glenn Pool has produced over 100 000,-
600 barrels of oil In the last six years.
1t has made a number of millionaires.
Lying between the Glenn Pool and the
Gushing Pool the Great Western Pc
troleum company has just opened up
$50 acres. Two wells have been drilled
and if these wells prove to be gushers,
the value of this tract of land will be
almost incaculable. Oil men figure on
acres for a location this tract of
$50 acres can be drilled for over fifty
wells The production of a well will
range all the way from 40 to 1000 bar
rels per day, and with oil selling at rs
cents per barrel, ii does not take long
to make fortune
What called attention to the suppos-
ed extension of the Glenn Pool in this
vicinity was the opening up of the fam
Gus Scott well, which about a week ago
produced 500 barrels of oil in thirty
hours. Although Oklahoma produces
over 81 600, 900 per week in oil, and In
this immediate vicinity over thirty three
and third per cent of the oil used IN
the United States is produced, ii would
seem that the beginning has Just been
made, and there are hundreds of acres
that have never been touched, and any
field may spring into prominence over
night and make a new crop of million
aires. Every night the lobby of the
Tulsa Hotel is crowded with men eager
~ discussing the latest news from th'
oil fields and specializing in oil stock.

pany issues weekly bulletins regarding
the development in the oil field, ant

TO STOP INDIAN GAMBLING.

A petition has been numerously sign
ed by members of the Nezperce tribe
urging that a federal law be passed
that will prohibit gambling by Indians
upon reservations by means of native
gambling games. One game especially
is referred to in the petition, called
"Buckmit.' The Indian petitioners adj
wise that this game Is often played
daily and nightly for weeks at a time,
and that Indians gamble away their
property of every description, Including
blankets and clothing they wear. The
more thoughtful members of the tribe
believe that gambling is a very serious
curse to their brothers and are asking
that laws be passed that will make pos
sble its abolition. A movement is al

Judge Steele, together with the
other district judges in Idaho,
was highly instrumental in hav-
ing this law passed, and it is ex-
pected that voters will embrace
the provisions of the law in its
true spirit, and thus remove the
judiciary from party politics as
fully as possible.

JUDGE STEELE
ANNOUNCES
Record of Is Years Service
on the Bench Presented
for Consideration.

Judge Steele has announced hisi
desire to be returned to the dis
trlct bench, and has filed his nom
nation upon the non-partisan ju-
dietary ticket.
He is now serving his sixteenth |
year as a trial judge in this dis
trict, having served upon the
bench for a longer period of time
than any other judge in Idaho,
either before or since statehood.
He is the oldest district judge in
Idaho, in point Of service. His
services have been continuous,
and in each recurring contest for
election his candidacy has met
with the approval of the voters.
They have expressed their conf
dence in him as a judge at each
successive election with an ever
increasing majority.
The district court over which
Judge Steele presides comprises
one-slxth of the territory of the
state, one-sixth Of the population,
one sixth of the wealth and about
one-sixth of the legal business of
the entire state. There are, in all,
twelve district judges in Idaho,
and for the past six years Judge
Steele has been doing twice the
amount of business of the aver
age of the district judges of the
state.
The records of the district court
show that the courts of the dis
trict have been economically ad-
mlnistered to such an extent that,
while in Latah county alone, dur
ing the last four years of the ad-
ministration of his predecessor,
Judge Piper, the expenses to the
tax payers of holding court in
that county were in excess of six
thousand dollars per annum; yet
during the last six or eight years
the expenses to the tax payers of
the district court in the entire
district have been less than five
thousand dollars per annum, for
all the five counties, notwithstand
ing the volume in the district is
more than double the business
handled by Judge Piper. The
records further show that during
said period there is not a county
in the district but what in some
one of said years has been run
without any expense to the tax
payer, in that the fines and for
FIXTURES collected have paid the
entire expenses for that year, anG
returned money into the county
treasury.
The decisions of Judge Steele
in proportion to the number o
cases tried, have been more uni
formly upheld by the supreme
court than of any other of th'
district judges of Idaho. He cal
stand squarely upon his record
and ask the voters of the distric
to judge of the future by III
past.
Judge Steele has filed his nom
nation papers as a non-partisa
candidate for district judge III
der the law passed by the legis
lature of 1913. This law is Yer
simple. The voter, after havin
voted his or her party tickle

SPEAKING DATES OF GOOD

now on the West Side. He is as good
as at least two of our regular hurl-
ers and a lot better than three others
who could be named.
Possibly he will never be great
manager. He may be too easy-going
and lenient with his underlings. His
own case should make him so, and
reproach to the National League for
the raw deal it allowed Murphy to
hand him.
Good ball is being played on the
North Side. There is considerable hit
ting and much emphasis is laid on
the number of homers knocked to
show that the pitching is punk. But
right out on the West Side there have
meen a mess of drives denting the
right field signboard, and we don't
hear any loud walls.
There isn't question in the minds
of the fair-minded that Tinker could
take his team intact into the National
League and make good showing.
President Gilmore of the Federal
League claims the Feds are playing
faster ball than either the Americans
or Nationals, and offers figures to
prove that his circuit takes about
minute less to finish each inning.
How the Fed leader arrived at these
figures was not given out. But
casual glances at the time of game

Certainly the pastiming on the
West Side drags woefully. Yesterday
the Chifeds and Sloufeds played nine
innings in II minutes less time that

to complete their exhibition. The
