baseball scored heavily here to-day in
the struggle with the Federal League
for the services of the players who
completed their round the-world tour
early to-day. The Boston Americans
signed Iris Speaker for two years;
the Detroit Americans closed a con-
tract with Sam Crawford and the st.
Louis Americans kept Pitcher Lever
enz in line with a considerable raise in
salary.
Although the Federal League mag
mates were in conference with all these
players, they were unable to secure
their services and the best they could
do with Mike Doolan of the Philadel-
phia Nationals and Dick Egan of
Brooklyn was to obtain a promise to
consider the proportions made by the
new organization. Steve" Evans and
Lee Magee of the St Louis Nationals
also were reported to be comparing
the offers of the two forces.
1t was a day of propositions, counter
propositions conferences and contract
flashing, but at midnight organized base
ball was still holding the lead which 1t
gained when several of the National and
American League magnates boarded the
steamer Lusitania far down the bay
while the Federal leaguers were forced
TO wait for several hours at the pier
before they could get in communication

GOOD PROGRESS IS
Being MADE BY i. S.
SURVEYING PARTIES

d. A. Utter. United States surveyor
general, reports that the 20 parties
which have been surveying railroad
land grants for the past few months in
north Idaho have been progressing IA
vorably although encountering some
snow during the last week of August.
The surveyor generals department is
more than pleased over the fact that
more than half of the lands will be sur
veyed this year. 1t has been the desire
of the administration to finish the sur
veying of these lands during the years
1914 and 1915 and Idaho will be able to
perform this service. This will bring
several million acres of land on the
tax roll and thus relieve to a certain
extent some of the tax burden of those
possessing patented land. The local
office also has several parties in the
field in south Idaho who are taking
care of requests of settlers. Several
parties will be thrown into unsurveyed
sections of the southern part of the
state where surveying can be carried
on during October and November Sur
by Indictment weather can be used for
this work, which will be confined to
such portions of land as comes under
the dry farm act. This will provide an
opportunity for thousands of home
builders to take advantage of the act

MORE CORN SAMPLES

Idaho for corn"
The above slogan has been adopted
by ]. A. Stinson, formerly of Iowa, who
came here last spring from Oklahoma
and has 100 acres planted to Iowa Sill
Yer Mine corn, which he states will
average IS bushels to the acre. Sam
pies of the corn raised by Mr.. Stinson
were brought to Boise from his ranch
two miles east of Nampa several days
ago and while it is not fully matured,
he states if he gets about 10 more
days without a frost he win have a
bountiful harvest of as good corn as
can be raised in Kansas or Nebrask a.
Two ears of corn brought to Boise by
Mr. Stinson weigh better than two
pounds each. One ear measures 10
inches in length and the other IL
inches. Last June the entire field OF
corn was frozen to the ground, but it
came out all right and is bearing
heavily. While this is Mr. Stinson's
first year in Idaho he believes this is
a good corn belt and that fine corn can
be raised here. BY doing so, he be
lieves, farmers can make the valley
one of the best hog sections in the
world.
