The Gem State Fair that was or
gained by farmers and managed by
farmers proved a success in every
respect. OF course, the business men
OF Boise aided in every way possible
and are entitled to a full share of
praise, but the fact remains that the
fair in its conception and in its man
agement was entirely farmers affair.
Having made SO good start it is to
be hoped that the institution will be-
come a permanent one and that the
Gem State Fair will be an annual
event attracting the people of the
State to the capital for profit, pleasure
and an exchange Of ideas.

it is not able to rule on all the oceans of the world. For the distant waters she delegated that power to the Asiattcs to whom she is allied by the strongest ties.
 Just as England always favored the mutual depletion of the conh- ntneta1 powers in order unhtndered to enhance her own power and trade, so will Japan also, after the down fall of the white race, know how to enlarge her power over Asia and to exploit itg commercially.
 But Japan has still another means to further her ends, and that is the overflow of her increasing popula- ton. This overflow she cannot di- rect into East Asia. Thinly popu- lated America offers much better pos abilities for that.
 America must take an interest that the white race is not depleted: Be cause the day will come when Amer ica will look around for a friend to help her against the Japanes Eng fish alliance England became the traitor to the white race long ago. Then, also, the day will have come when American, soldiers will be shot with the same dum-dum bullets which Americans firms furnish to England now.
 To weaken Gerrnany is the absurd est thing America can do. America and Germany will fight some day to- gether against the two island na- tions.

Foes of Clergyman
 Surround His Rectory

Philadelphia, April e.-The most remarkable church election probably ever held in Philadelphia was held ths afternoon on the sidewalk in front of the parish house of St. John's Protestant Episcopal Church, Third and Brown streets. Adherentsf of the Rev. George Chalmers Richmond rector, have locked and barricaded the doors to the parish house, which fonts on Bodine street.
 This bizarre development in the sensational row between MT. Rich tmond and his opponents apparently leaves the clergyman confronting an antagonistic majority in the vestry and one of the newly elected vestry-
 men blunt1ys annouced that Git meant the elimination of Richmond from the chrurch.''
 Qualified electors of the congrega- ton conducted the election, a cigar box was used for the ballots, and eight Vestrymen were elected.
 The electors, shortly before the election, received a letter from MT. Richmond "excommunicating them from membership in the church.

 The baseball season opens in this city next week Friday at the Ath- 1etic clubs grounds with 9 game be- tween the Bridgeport team and the Cuban Giants, those dusty athletes who play good ball equally with their hands, feet and mouth.

 The reason the game will take place on the Athletic grounds (now the defunct Athletic Park on Boston avenue and Success Road) is that the Pleasure Beach grounds will not ebe in shape.
 It can be stated positively that there will be no State League this summer. Jim O'Rourke of this city has given up all hopes of any league of that kind for the present at least.

TORN BY BIG BEAR, LONE TRAPPER ENDS
 LIFE BY SHOOTING.
Prospectors Find Body of King Thurman and Note
 Explaining Death.

Valdez. Alaska, April 6-First news of a. terrible and dramatic tragedy of the hills was brought to this city today by William Austin, g. prospector, who returned from a trip to the vicinity of Seward. He brought with him a scrap of paper upon which King Thurman, a widely known trapper and prospector, had written a last message after he had been mang1ed by a, bears claws and before he had ended his sufferings with his revolver.
 Austin and John WiIk, a com panion, found the body of Thurman about a.ehundred feet from his cabin, which is in the vicinity of the point selected by the government for the beginning of the new Alaskan rail- road The trapper had ended his life by shooting himself in, the temple. His right side had been torn and the note which he left had been printed with his left hand, boriously and apparently when he was suffer ing torture. The ground was torn up for twenty feet with claws and boots. and crushed water pail under the body of the trapper showed what brought him from his cabin unarmed, a thing seldom done in this wild sec ton of Alaska
 The note, printed up and down along the edge of a mining claim with a crayon, read:-
 Have been torn up by brown bear. No show to get out. Goodby, I am sane, but suffer terrible-want death''
 tThe irreguIarity with which the last few words of the note were printed showed clearly that Thurman could barely complete them.
 A diary found in his cabin had the last entry on July 25, at which time he had written, Game today to my cabin. All well.''
 The locality is noted for the larg- est brown bears in the world. and the trappers and prospectors who live within the area are usually armed, even when working about their cab ins.
