VALUES FROM BLACK SAND.
New Extraction Method Seems to Have
Solved the Problem.

F. D. Coils, mining man of British
Columbia, is in the city this week in
the interests Of new process recently
invented by a we'll known Wallace
mining man for the extraction of
values from the black sand of which
there is any quantity in this section.
The process seems practical and it is
claimed saves from eighty to ninety per
cent of the values. A plant has been
built on the Snake below Lewiston
where practical demonstration of the
process is being made and where those
who are interested can see it in actual
operation.
As the black sands of the Salmon and
Snake carry values as high as $4o0 a
ton it looks as though this new process
would do much towards placing the
mining industry Of this country on a
firm basis if it is as meritorious as it
appears to be.

ADDRESS TO new CITIZENS
Gives Sound Advice to New Americans

Policy.

In a speech at Philadelphia this
week, delivered before a gathering of
1000 naturalized Americans President
Wilson fully justified rne confidence
the nation has imposed in him and has
again proven the profound wisdom
with which he is endowed. All true
Americans will read every line of it
and cannot help but agree that this is
one of the greatest pronouncements
ever made to allay prejudice and pas
sion and direct through and along prop
er lines.
..It warns my heart that you should
give me such a reception; but it is not
of myself that i wish to think tonight
but of those who have just become
citizens of the United States. This
is the only country in the world which
experiences that constant and repeat
ed re-bi1th. Other countries depend
upon the multiplication of their own
native people. This country is con-
stantly drinking strength out of new
sources by the voluntary association
with it of great bodies of strong men
and forwardlooking women.

of independent people it is constantly

IN HEAVY WIND ILO-VOLLMER
TEAM LOSES SLOW GAME TO
GRANGEvILLE BOYS.
VISITORS PLAY OLD TRICK
Player Substitutes an Extra Ball in Play
When Fielder Muffs Foul Fly
Umpire Calls Batter Out.

e In the cold wind Sunday, before a
crowd of nearly 200, our home team
took their first game Of the season
from no-Vollmer. The boys played
good ball, taking INTO consideration the
weather and the amount of practicing
they had done. The day was very dis
agreeable for the opening game from
the fact that the wind made it impos-
sible to Judge fly ball in the field.
The stunt pulled off by the visiting
team in substituting an extra ball for
an uncaught foul fly caused no little
comment among the players and specta-
tors. It seems as though the third base
man running for the foul was struck
on the knee by the ball and then kick
ed it SO as to stop the bali bouncing.
An out fielder running beside him, at
the same time handed him another ball
having had it hid in his shirt for some
such purpose. The third baseman threw
the ball in as though he had caught the
foul. It was done clever enough to
deceive the umpire even after one of
the home boys went out and picked up
the ball where it had been kicked to.
It was such town-lot ball that the visi-
tors put up through the whole game.
Smith of the visitors brought in the
first score by clever steal from third
on the return of pitched ball. Ilo-
Vollmer lost this lead however in the
next session when Grangeville scored
three scores by clean hitting. In the
third inning Janasco came in on an
error made by pitcher, Reynolds muf.

fling slow grounder. Switzerland
started things in the fourth by hitting
Reynolds for two bases, bringing in two
runs. Robinson also put the tall out of
commission for two bases scoring
Southerland. Grangeville at no time
lost their lead after gaining it in the
second inning, although it looked bad
for them in the first of the eight
when the visitors ran in three more
scores making the total six. The score
was now seven and six, Grangeville ran
in six more scores in the last of the
eight making the final score Is to 6.
Although Ilo-Vollmer made eleven
miscues Grangeville had the edge on
them in every department Of the game.
Switzerland twirled good game in the
wind, striking out fourteen men.
Manager Woods, of the local team,
has arranged with the Kamiah Indians,
game for next Sunday ON the local
grounds. Kamiah has fast team and
is expected to put up good fight. All
those who see this game can be sure of
seeing real contest. The rabid rooters
should be there to make winning worth
while for the home team.

AN ELECTRIC LANTERN.

Something new in the way of a
lantern is being shown by Tom Dickey,
who has secured the local agency, this
week. The lantern is built asong the
same lines as those used in Pullman
cars, the electric current being turned
ON by lifting the bale to the top and
when one wishes to turn the light off
all that is necessary is to cast the bale
to one side. The lantern is cheaper and
better than oil and assures absolute
safety from fire. It looks as though it
was mighty practical affair and no
doubt will meet with ready sale.

SPECIAL SESSION OF LEGIsLA-
TURE WILL BE CALLED EARLY
NEXT JANUARY.

From reliable source it is announced
that within the next few days Governor
Alexander will name the men who are
to compose the membership of the
North and South Railroad commission.
1t is well understood that A. F. Parker
of this city and Senator Jerome Day of
Moscow will be two of the three mem
bers and the third man will come from
the south or southeast. There is some
talk of enlarging the commission to six
or seven and while there are some ad-
wantages in commission of this size
it is doubted if such accruing advan-
tages would offset the disadvantages
That three enthusiastic men of the
character of Messers. Parker and Day,
accomplish more than half dozen who
will hold various views and prove a
more or less unwieldy body is an
opinion generally held by those who
have expressed themselves.
There seems to be no doubt as to the
earnestness of Governor Alexander and
his determination to see that this road
is built. He has announced that he will
call a special session Of the legislature
next January to take the necessary
steps to provide state aid in the con-
struction of the road. At Portland last
week in speaking of the enterprise the
Governor said:
elf we can connect Lewiston with
southern Idaho we will furnish great
deal of traffic for the Columbia river.

CHARLES ROGERS, ALIAS WARREN

CRIME COMMITTED IN 1912.

"Murder will out' is an old saying

the murderer.

Charles Rogers, or Warren Reed as
he was best known in this community,
has been in this county for the past
two or three years, spending most of his
river country where he did more or less
COW punching. He first stepped into
the public limelight last fall when he
was arrested at Cottonwood Tor issuing
a check without funds. 1t appears he
bought a bill of goods of merchant
of the westside town and gave as pay.
ment a worthless check. He was tried
before Justice Fuchs and given a jail
sentence of forty days which he served
out.
How Rogers was Discovered.
At that time no one suspected him of
being fugitive from justice and after
the completion of his sentence he was
permitted to go his way. Rogers was
