NEW POLICEMEN
Are Being Added Daily to Great
Force of Peace .PreserVers
in Panama Republic.

Correspondence OF Associated PressO
PANAMA, August 2-Many new
policemen are daily being added to
the already numerous policia nacion-
al of the republic of Panama. Three
months ago the national police are
reported to have numbered about l..
600 men and officers while today the
number of officers and men has
reached 1900.
The national police already costs
the republic more than $1,25O,0OV
gold a year and much opposition has
been heard in many quarters to the
recent heavy increase which greatly
adds to the expense. Many of the
new officers and men are to be sta
toned in the two fcities of Panama
AMI Colon.
1t is declared in government cir
cles that the new men are being
added in anticipation of the prest-
Dental and national assembly cleo
ton next year. 1t is pointed out
that they will be needed to preserve
order and assure fair election at
what is looked forward to as the
bitterest campaign in the republic, 8
history. 1t is also stated that the
new policemen are being enrolled
so that interference to preserve
peace and constitutional authority by
the United States officials will be I'M
necessary. Such action was taken in
1912 by the American authorities at
the request of both political factions.

By the end of this week there will

stored in the Fruit Association ware
house in Emmett The greater part
of this amount belongs to the three
Littles, Andy, Walter and Sam. The
long end of this is the property Of
Andy Little and is Tile feeces from
$4,000 head of sheep. The VanDeu-

The Littles expect to sell their wool
within the next two weeks.
Since the extension of the Idaho
Northern Montour has become quite
an important shipping station for

Road Nearing Completion

G. B. Mains, of the forest office, re-
turned a few days ago from Garden
Valley. He reports that the new
wagon road is nearing completion.
Less than a mile of the work remains
to be done. 1t is one of the prettiest
and most difficult pieces of road con-
struction in the state. The roadway
was blasted from solid granite most
of the distance. On some stretches
it was necessary to let the workmen
down the sides of the canyon with
ropes so that they would blast out
space to work in. The maximum
grade on the new road is s per cent.
There is one steel bridge to go in,
for which the contract has been "a
warded to the Missouri Valley Bridge
& Iron company. The contract calls
for the completion of this bridge by
August 5. The. road was built by the
forest service, the state and Boise
county in cooperation. 1t will give
the Garden valley settlers short cut
to the railroad, something they have
needed for years. The contract called
for four turnouts to the mile, but the
put in additional turnouts
the ground was favorable.

guers. "Slim" Lingren was in a
stingy mood, and his support was
gilt edge. "Slim" moved down the
batters in one, two, three order and
only 10 men faced him in those three
beautiful innings. Six famed, three
nice sky scraping flies fell into the
rapacious maws of the felders, and
one was thrown out Fels to Miles.
The only one to reach first was
young High School kid, who surprised
even himself by getting safe bingle
over short. But that hit inspired hope,
and in the next inning Lattig reached
first on an overthrow by Chapman,
stole second and scored on Harland's
two base drive. A wild pitch moved
Harland a peg, and he scored on an
other wild peg of Chapman over first.
In the fifth too more scores were an
nexed, one in the sixth and six in the
unlucky ninth.
The home boys grabbed one early.
Fels struck out, Chapman hit safely,
stole second and scored on Miles safe
ty. In the third Lou Obermeyer
scored single handed on what should
have been a three-bagger, but it was
stretched to a home run by the ball
being lost in a cock of hay in the
meadow off the right garden. In the
seventh the score was tied UPS to 5.
Crabtree, the first up, received the
ball in the Stats, Lingren advanced
him to second with nice bingle, Fels
filled the bases when Shafer mutfed a
fly, and Miles's clean two-base drive
scored all three. Then the jinx stuck
his ugly mug into the fracas and
queered the whole thing. The rest of
the story is too sad to relate further,
