Frenso is famous as being the cen ter of the California raiS3n indus try. but it also has other claims to fame It is the birthplace of Frank Leroy Chance, the once peerless leader of the diamond, and it was the scene of "Chief' Meyers base ball debut, the Chief" having been engaged to kick a job press and print raisin boexs five days week and play ball on Saturdays and sun days Fresno is also entitled to whatever glory appertains to the birthplace of Frankie Burns, the Cal ifornia lightweight boxer who was born in the raisin city just twenty
 four wears ago today Frankie who is no relation to the little Jer- sev City boxer of the same name started his pugilstic career In Oak land. to which city he removed at the ago of fifteen. He absorVed con siderable education in the Oakland high school and was engaged in tho occupation of a railway billing clerk when the boxing bug bit him. It was all quite accidental. Frankie had never had a glove on when one night, with a bunch of boys, he attend
 ed a boxing show In Oakland. It was an amateur affair. One of the featherweights listed failed to put in an appearance, and the referee in
 vited any featherWeight present to step to the front and take the place of the missing lad. Frankie's companions dared him to volunteer, and young Burns proved himself a good sport by marching up to the ring Trrankie's friends expected he would get d good drubbing, but in stead of that the youngster Waded
 into his more experienced opponent and won by a mile.
 After that Burns became a boxing
 bug for fair, and, after cleaning up the amateur ranks, entered the pro
 fessional arena. His first year in
 the ring 1908, he took part in nine
 bouts, and got nothing worse than
 q draw In 1909 he defeated a num-
 Der of lads, including Willie Ritchic,
 who was then just starting in the
 game. Tn 1910 Frankie made a
 trip east whipping Phil Knight and
 Harry Trendall at Kansas City, and fighting draws with Frankie Madden
 at New York and Matty Baldwin at Newark. On his return to Califor- nia he stayed ten rounds with Owen Moran, but lost on foul to One Round Hogan. A little later he met Hogan again. and won on a foul. He knocked out Lew Powell in the 10th round, and was then matched for the lightweight title with Ad Vol gast, but was knocked out in the seventeenth round. Since then the Californian has hecn defeated by Jack Rrtton and Tommy Murphy, Eut has whipped Joe Azevodo, Tommy Mcfarland and other good boys. and has fought q tWcnty-round draw with Gilbert Gallant, the French Canadian who recently defeated Leach Cross James !. Collins. once one of the greatest intielders of the diamond was born in Buffalo forty-two years ago today. Collins was for six wears. from 1901 to 1906, the pilot of the | Boston Americans, and In 1908 and

SHOULD HAVE HOCKEY
 AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
Walnut H.II Pond is Now Avalab't
 for a HCDn1 Rink.

During the last few days there has been considerable talk of organizing a High school hockey team and ar- ranging a schedule for the rest of the season. The High school has never had school hockey team, but there have been independent sevent composed of school bays There is no lack of material and there is much interest being manifested al- ready towards forming an aggregation to represent the school in this branch of sport.
 Since the municipal pond at Wal nut Eill pond is available for home pla ying surface, which besides having q central location, is about the right size for hockey rink, 1t is thought that large crowds would turn out to witness a good hockey game. Those who argue for q hockey team point to the size of the school--over 1,0eo students and which has only three branches of sports. Again the school will undoubtedly organize a hockey seven within few years and the sup~~, porters of the game ask why moi start now All eduCaIlO0dI luEtuu@ tions for boys of any size have this pastime and the cost of maintenance is not large.
 Expense May BaIk Plan a&
 On the other hand it is claimed that the cost of organizing and fitting out d squad would be heavy and that this game would conflict greatly with basketball, as both are winter sporu and especially as the basketball five this year is very strong and is receiv~ ing good support from the folioNer of the game. Admitting that & strong hockey team could be fitted out, 1t would be question if the school and public would support it.
 However. first of all. if hockey wax to be introduced into school athletics this sport would need to have the sanction of the High school athletic council before it could become a res- ognized school sport. Ii is doubtfu if a vote will be taken in the counc as this sport would have no repreW sentative in that body and the mem bers of the council think that the school has enough diversion and even then, baseball has never paid, and, until this year, basketball has not been much of a success.

Dooin, as there are weak spots on the Cincinnati team that need bolstering up. It is doubtful if he can trade Dooin, as his salary is $6,000 a year, one of the largest salaries paid to a catcher. Wingo also draws a good stipend, as he had jumped to the Buff falo Federal league team and was induced to jump back only by sub stantial increase in pay.

The same old story. Democratic
administration and free trade with
paralyzed business, and a deficit of
$75, 600. 900 June l, this year. This
in the face of ''war tax during
time of peace, so far as our country
is concerned, and during time when
this country has been enjoying i'm
mense business as result of Euro
pean war orders. But it has ever
been thus. 1t was SO with Cleveland
and free trade, and it will continue
so till the United States sinks to the
European level of laboring people.
We cannot pay the highest wages in
the world and compete with Mexican
peon labor, with European paupers,
with Chinese land Japanese, and the
sooner we quit experimenting, and
pin our faith to Republican policies,
the better off we will be. We no
sooner get prosperous than we become
dissatisfied and kill the goose that
lays the golden eggs. A wise peo-
pie, we!

THAT CAR.

To ride in it was heaven,
He ran across piece of glass
Bill-$14.97.
He took his friends out for ride,

The carburator sprang leak,

He started on little tour,
The finest sort of fun,
He stopped too quick and stripped his
gears,
Bill $50. 81.
He took his wife down town to shop,
To save car fare was great,
He jammed into hitching post.

He spent his little pile of cash,
And then in anguish cried:

And take just one more ride.

The United States need not send an
army to Europe; we need not send a
battleship across the ocean, to inf1ict
tremendous damage to Germany, and
to compel respect for the rights of
American citizens, should Germany
stand pat in the present controversy
growing out of the blowing up of the
Lusitania, with the loss of more than
one hundred American citizens. We
can cease, as a nation, being neutral.
We can close our ports to Germany.
We can open them to the allies.
We can throw the influence of our ire
mendous financial power on the side
of the allies. We can put our people
to work making ammunition and guns
and automobiles for the allies,
and pour into the ports of the allies
all needed food supplies. We can
furnish the allies clothing, medicine,
nurses, doctors, ad infnitum. We can
do enough in hurry, without sending
soldier to Europe, to settle Ger
many's chances.
Germany takes the position that
she owns the seas, and that others
must get out if Germany sees fit to
snap her finger. 1t is on par with
the bully who said: 81 am going to
shoot up this town. Look out if you
don t want to get hurt The United
States has replied: II have rights
that are inviolate. If you shoot up
the towp and happen to injure me you
will be held responsible. -
The United States is not at war.
1t has merchandise to sell, includ-
ing powder, guns, grains and auto
mobiles. 1t is not our fault if Ger
many cannot get here to buy. Our
doors are open to the world. Our
farmers and merchants and manufact-
urers are looking for customers. In
this we know no creed, nation or POI
litical condition. If Germany cannot
/ buy, because her enemies will not let
German ship cross the ocean, that
is Germany's lookout. If England
and France and Russia and Italy car
get to our markets and buy. that is
their good fortune.
Before the war Germany agreed
with the world to recognize certain
rules called international law Now
Germany throws this law to the wine
and murders American citizens because
the fortunes of war happen to make il
convenient for Germany to ignore
American rights. And with an in
science that is as insulting as it is
brazen Germany slaps the United
States squarely in the face and in
quires: a14+a

Opposition 70 any division of Latah
county is practically unanimous. In
other words there is absolutely no
sentiment in Latah county for any
kind of division, and whatever new
county may eventually be created will
have to get along without an acre of
old Latah. Latah county is almost
square, about forty-five or fifty miles
each way, and Moscow, the present
county seat, is easily reached from
any direction except Bovill, which
happens to be little out of the way.
Think of those Palouse river valley
farmers, near Potlatch and Farming
ton, now accessible to Moscow, be-
coming the tail of Pine county, and
forced to go to Bovill, clear out of
their territory, to reach. the county
seat. Fine swap, wouldn't it? And
think of the benefits these Latah
farmers would receive, jumping into
new county, with its certain high
taxes, when Latah county is out of
debt, and has the lowest tax rate in
Idaho. If we are to make any chan
ges in Clearwater county better annex
to Latah.

What difference does it make to the
farmer, or to any citizen, for that
matter, how much timber companies
are gouged, if the money is wasted,
and with it the people are saddled
with debt? Here is food for thought.
The people will prosper best when the
county business is looked after care
fully, the debts wiped out, and the ex-
penditures kept within the income.
The republicans will put Clearwater
county on cash basis, and wipe out
the gang debt of an eighth of mil
lion dollars, in two years. Then
taxes should be no higher than in
Lewis county. The present board is
forced to not only pay as they go,
but the law passed last winter compels
them to levy TEN MILLS for warrant
Indebtedness if county owes that
much. And taxes viii! be burdensome
as consequence. But the present
board is not responsible for this con-
dition. This debt of 1925, 600 was not
of their making. Messrs. Harlan,
Coontz and Choate did not run the road
funds in debt $3.50, 900. They did not
spend S65,000 for cruise, without
competition, and they did not dissipate
county funds II. reckless extravaganza
for every conceivable thing from sup
plies to clerical help. The present
board did not permit banks to reap a
harvest from county funds, nor waste
taxes that should, have been judicious
ly spent on roads for the people, the
result of it all being debt saddleC
on the people, on January IL, 1915,
when the present board went into
power, one eighth of a million dol
lars, the interest burden of which is
approximately $1,000 per annum.
The Republican is emphasizing this
because the people should have i'm
pressed on their minds the facts back
of the overwhelming tax burden which
is soon to sweep over the people Of
Clearwater county. Taxes are to bt
the highest in the history of the
county, and the responsibility shoult
be placed where it belongs.

1t might not be out of the way to
mention that it is a matter of record
that the Clearwater Republican prints
and circulates, each issue, approx
mately twice as many papers as any
other paper published in Orofino.
This fact happened to have been brot-
out during the recent libel case
against the editor of the Clearwater
Republican. So it follows that the
Clearwater Republican is about twice
as valuable as an advertising medium
as paper with half the circulation.
If you want value for money spent for
advertising, and would get results, use
judgment.
