GOVERNOR VETOES SALARY BILL
Does Not Believe Large Salaries Conclusive TO
More Efficient Work

Governor Alexander has vetoed
house bill No. 1852 by Huh, Can
non and Koelsch, having for its
object the increasing of the sal
aries of The county commission
ers. The governor in his veto
communication says:
This bill seeks to increase sal
aries of members of boards Of
county commissioners of the var
ious counties of the state and is
therefore in opposition to the
the pledges made by the members
.of the legislature and the state
officials upon which they were ell
ected to Office. The duty impos-
ed upon all of us who were elect
cd to carry out tne mandates of
the people whom we represent
was to reduce salaries and other
expenses and not to increase them
Moreover, until such time as the
laws of this state may give to the
county commissioner greater
powers of supervision and direc-
ton over the affairs of such coun-
tes than they now possess, il does
not seem to me wise to increase
lAcir salaries or to demand more
of their time and attention for
The performance of their duties
than is at present required. None
of the county commissioners of
this state. who became candidates
for Office was elected TO such Of
flee without knowledge of the
amount of salary attached to such
oilice. | am not informed that
the demand for the increase of
these salaries comes from the
people of the state because of any
desire on their part to secure any
more efficient commissioners to
transact The business of the
counties. Any law increasing
The salaries of the commission
crs ought not TO be i'm effect dur
ing the term of the commission
ers in Office at the time such in
crease is granted, but should be
made effective only after the ell
lection of new officers elected by
the people with the understanding
that The salary should be increas-
ed, So if il be The desire of the
people to elect more competent
men to office, they may avail
themselves of the opportunity af-
forded by the increase in salary

2O,OOO,OOO FEET LOGS 10 BE CUT
J. NJ. Carey TO Do WOFk---SpecuIatiOn Rife As TO
Where Logs Will Be Sawed

j. NJ. Carey of Occur d'Alene
has closed o logging contract with
the Rutledge Timber company
which is one of the largest con-
tracts ever entered into in this
section. TO calls for She cutting
and putting into the water of
twenty million feet of logs. The
timber to be cut in the Marble
creek section and covers the hold
ings of the RNtledge Timber Go.
in THAT section.
The Rutledge people have been
buying standing timber for a
number Of years and this is the
first large lot that they have ar
ranged for cutting. The com
pany does not own sawmill and
there is considerable speculation
as to what. disposition they in
tend to make of the logs or where
they intend to have them sawed.
For a number of years there
have been rumors afoat that the
company intended building a
large sawmill. Some Of these
reports have had the plant locat-
ed at Occur d'Alene and others in
this city. The company has
owned a mill sta at Occur d.
Alene for the past thirteen or
fourteen years and every once in
la while the report Will be started
that they intend to build on it at
.once but nothing has been done.
Two years ago they secured an
option on a mill site near this
city and it was reported that they
intended to build on it but the
proposition did not materialize
This spring it was persislently
reported here that the Rutledge
company had purchased one of
them ills in this city but the re-
port was strenuously denied by
the officers of the mill company
Later it was reported that they
were negotiating for the purchase
of the other mill but this report
was also denied by the officers or
The mill company. The news of
the letting Of this contract has
started all of these wild rumors
again.

Two Damage
Suits for City
TOTAL OF $4,000 ASKED FOR
LashbrOOk and AjdukOvC Want Damages For
Lowering Grade in Front Of Buildings

Two suits were filed in the dis
trict court yesterday for damages
against the city Of st. Maries.
arising out of the street grade.
The first was that of Andrew
Ajdukovic and Wasso Creitich
for damages to their property ON
lot number eleven, block 2l of
Railroad addition. which is the
hotel property known as the G. &
NJ. hotel on Main street.
After the formal parts the COM
plant alleges in substance that
prior to 1914 the owners of what
is now Railroad addition to the
City of st. Maries duly plated
and filed for record the plats and
maps of said addition and that
said plat was duly accepted by the
city and the street grades and
grade lines Of streets and side
walks were designated and duly
accepted by the city.
That during the summer Of
1914 the city caused the street in
i'9it Of said property to be re
lraalrd and the grade lowered
a.ulti twO feet. That previous
e., that Time the plaintiffs had
erected a substatial two story ho-
tel building on the lot conform
ing to the then established grade
and that by causing the grade to
he lowered the defendant city
had damaged the property of the
plaintiffs to The amount Of $500
which amount they ask judgment
for together with the costs.
The other case is that of Geo.
I,ashbrook against the city and is
for damages against his building
situated on Main street on Lot i6,
block 2i Of Railroad addition. The
complaints are practically the
same in the two actions except
in the latter case the allegation
is made that the established
grade was lowered four feet and
the damage to the property is
put at twelve hundred dollars.
Both complaints go into par
ticulars in regard TO the cost of
lowering the building, making
water connections etc. T.. G..
Highsmith is attorney for the
plaintiffs in each of the cases.

LEADING THREE TWIRLERs IN
 NATiONAL USE SPITRAL1-

1 H ERE is where the camp of the anti
 spitballists is blown to shreds- Just take glance at the figures com piled on the deeds of pitchers who took part in fifteen or more games in the
 National league last year! At the top of the column the figures show that the 1eader-the big noise of the Ieague-is none other than Doak, pitcher for the Cards and a spitball pitcher.
 No. 2 in the list is James. miracle pitcher of the miracle team from Bean- burg-and a spitball pitcher. No. 3 is Pfeffer of Brooklyn, a spit ball pitcher.
 That isn't all the figures show, either. The three next best twirlers in the Ma tionaI last season were Vaughn of Chi- cago, Sallee of St. Louis and Cooper of Pittsburgh.
 Each of these is southpaw. Below their names you may see the
 names of the curved ball pitchers. the
 fadeaway pitchers 6the original and Iimitators1, the fast ball pitchers and l all the other kind of pitchers in the world.
 But the spitbal1ists and the south paptists are there with the record. Less than two runs per game were scored each off Doak, James and Pfef- fer. Tn other words, if on every day either of these marvels was in the box lthe team behind managed to score two runs it won.

HOW BIG LEAGUE BALL PLAYERS SPEND THE WIVTE

that would end their baseball days. They declare that golf gives them just the exercise they need, keeps them out of doors and puts their muscles in just the proper condition for effective twirl- ing.
 A former college athlete who has followed outdoor sports for thirty years, as a writer, in a recent disserta- tion on exercise gave the following ad- vice to young men in the minor leagues who have to work during the winter and often have little time to devote to exercise:
 sIn addition to his body the baseball player must train his eye. and, while the usual spring practice will help to do that, 1t will be well if he can take exercise that will train the eye during the off season. For this nothing ex- cept playing baseball can be equal to handball, especially if it is played with the regulation ball. which is smaller than the tennis ball, so often used bJ baseball players for handbalI purposea
 Basketball is a splendid exercise for the baseball player in that it ssep up the chest, makes the arms anf back stronger and helps the deltord ant pectoral muscles, which are so fmpor- tant in throwing: Indeed, class bas- ketba1I as great indoor exercise for or so before the player begins his bat Iting practice basketball will not work any harm to the eye
 esAII the ca1isthenics. the special tensing exercises. seem to me to be of great value to baseball player. They are very simple and should great ly help a heavy man, especially in re- ducing the abdomen and hips. The old trick Of putting the feet under the bl- reau and dropping the body to re- cunabent position then raising it and Bending forward, is the best exercise for reducing the abdomen and hips I know of. Just Keep the 'sma1F of the lbacI on the floor while doing it. and ! weeks work. ten minutes day. will accomplfsh wonders.
 Then the various tensing exercises, taken without any implements are very good. The trick in them is to imagine while doing them. that you are lifting or pulling or pushing just
 so much weight You can go through all the labor of lifting or carrying or dragging or pushing any specified
 weight from an ounce to a ton in these exercises.
 From the point of view Of sheer physical strength. longevity and well I being the greatest and best exercise ] known to many is wrestling There

 tt'I am not sure however, that wres- tling would make good exercise for I baseball players. Tn my youth there 1 was a distinct preiudice against wres- itIing. It was held that it resulted in

 The English Army


 TOHNNIE POE again has gone tS
 war Princetons famous halfbacks wit and fighting man extraordinary iG a cannoneer in the British army.
 Of all Prineetonss picturesque char acters Johnnie Poe is one of the most interesting When he was in college. now nearly twenty years ago, he was a haIfbaclz of unusual talents. A runner through the line so low that he passed beneath the hips Of his opponents. a tackler so hard and neree that his name itself was terror his greatest asset nevertheless, was his tremen- dous spirit The higher the score mount ed against Princeton the harder John nie fought, with the result that on most occasions his comrades imbibed his astounding aggressiveness and usually overlook their adversaries
 And Johnnie comes from good stock. The poet Edgar Allan Poe was his great-unefe. His father. Joe Poe. was the late Attorney General of Maryland. and his brother Edgar Allan Poe. fa- niliar to all Princeton men as Pete was a championship football captain. All of the other famous Princeton Poes are his brothers, and each of them al- most single handed has in his time lick ed either Harvard or Yale on the grtd- iron.
 But Johnnie is the real fighting man. He has warred in Cuba; he has sol- diered in the Philippines; he has fought in Mexico, and no revolution in Central America ever has been complete until Johnnie Poe joined one army or an other. He has lived through enough hair raising situations to make a bun de of the best selling short stories ever written.
 Poe has been sentenced to be shot at daybreak and bluffed his captors out oe 1t. He has been put upon the broad Atlantic to perish in an open boat and has been picked up by a warship. When Poe was found in a more or less exhausted condition by the man. i of-war the captain called out:
 We can't bother with your bag Igage.s
 There was little splash. and as Poe was pulled over the side the captain said:

 Nowadays, when few men on the pay rolls of the big leagues get less than $2sEe0 year, and the average is con- siderable higher than that. the profes-s sional players do not have to look for jobs as soon as the playing season ends. They have enough money to en- able them to live for the four or i've months they will be idle. and 50 they have the time to take such exercises as will keep them in fair physical con1i- ton. Many of them get jobs coaching college athletes, thereby nnding work that is congeniaI and that gives them an appreciated addition to their in comes. Many others go hunting and during ehe past two months birds and beasts from Florida to Maine and from Texas to Oregon have been the tars cts of men who doubtless made higher percentage of hits with the shotgun than they did last year with the bat
 Hunting Is one of the best exercises a ball player can take.
