in this part Of the country. His

This paper is for home first and
the world afterward, and so
should every local newspaper be,
for that matter-therefore, we re-
spectfully call your attention to
the fact that you can buy merch-
andise cheaper RICH here in Nez-
perez than from the catalogue
houses. The ads in this paper viii
convince you Of the fact. If they
do not, tuck your catalogue UNI
der your arm and go into any of
our stores and compare prices.
That's fair. Surely you would
rather buy at home, and this price
inducement should leave nothing
farther to be said.

WHAT A VOTE FOR WALLACE
MEANS

The primary election for this
state viii be held next Tuesday
and there are several reasons why
the voters of Lewis county should
turn out and vote at that time and
among the principal reasons is
that we have a candidate from
our own county for one of the I'M
portant state offices.
Chancey Wallace is a candidate
for the office of secretary of state
and during the next two years
there win be many things to come
up that win mean a great deal to
this section and ON which the sec
rotary of state viii have an i'm
portant vote. He is a member of
the state land board which passes
on the loans made to the farmers
throughout the state. He is also
a member Of the state highway
commission and during the next
five years the state of Idaho will
receive more than a million dol
lars from the national govern
ment for the building of public
highways.
1t is well known fact that por-
tions of the state have not receiv-
ed their propOrti0nate share of as
sistanee in building and imprOv-
ing the public highways, and our
section is one of them. The rea-
son we have failed is as much our
own fault as any ones. We have
not taken advantage of the oppor-
tunity offered and worked to-
gether. But what has been done
is not Of so much Importance to
us as what viii be done In the next
two or three years.
We now have an opportunity to
take advantage of part of the gov
eminent appropriation as well as
many other important matters
that viii come up, by voting for
Chancey Wallace for secretary Of
state This viii not only be a
benefit to Lewis county but to
this entire section Of the state, be-
sides it will be an honor to our
county to have one of our citizens
in this position, and he is well .
qualified to fill this important Of
flee.
Why not go to the polls next
Tuesday and vote to help nomin-
ate Mr.. Wallace for this position9
In so doing you will be helping
yourselves and this entire section
of the state. Don't overlook it. !
Next Tuesday is the day.

which behooves the loud mouthed fol- lowers of the self-styled title holder to be on the lookout this evening" ere the serving of the sleeping potion from the Bridgeport boy.
 It is expected that over 100 ring en- thusiasts from this city will attend the bouts, meaning of course that McAul- life will have just that many more friends to root for him. After watch ing the attempts of the Hog river city boy to ursurp the title without ever beating anybody who resembled real scrapper, local judges of fighters simply smiled aloud, and sat back awaiting the opportunity when Waltz would be sent against somebody who was not starved to death and primed for picking by him. A fair idea ot Waltzs ability as a fighter was gleaned on the memorable evening that Leo F. Flynn brought Battling Lahn to East Hartford to meet the

Cornell, Columbia and Penn Hard at Work When J. Pluvius Interferes.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 6.-The eight cared crews of Cornell, Colun- bia and Pennsylvania were all out for practice late yesterday over the regat- ta course the afternoon trials having been delayed by heavy rain.
 Coach Courtney took the Cornell varsity and junior eights over the lower course and gave them ten mile row. One or two practices at spurts relieved them of the monotony of the long pull.
 The Columbia and Pennsylvania crews all went up the river, Coach Rice taking the Columbia men as far as Hyde Park. Coach Wright turned his crews at Krum Elbow and then brought them down the course as far as the Pennsylvania quarters.

Meriden will be the mecca for fight fans this evening, when the LenOx A.

The fight will be the second meeting of the boys, the first affair resulting in a clean cut victory for the Park City boy, despite the sickening walls set up from the Hart ford contingent about their false alarm earning a draw. Reports from the Munition City, state that the gal lant little battler (McAuliffe) who is unquestionable the champion of the state is in the best shape of his career,

yet went on to the semi-inals It was Evans fate to meet Sawyer at his best.
 There is the fate of one man play ing well, meeting an opponent who hG opens to be at his best. The form CT loses. Another, not playing nearly so we'll, wins because his opponent was far off form And credit, in the main goes with the victory-not with the defeat.
 Fate Again.
 Last year Maurice Mclaughlin beat William M. Johnston more than once. But on the day the national cham rionship was played it was McLough- lln's fate that Johnson should be at his best.
 Travers lost to Marston at Detroit when the Open Champion played the last twelve holes exactly in par. An other section from Fate, for it so happened that against Travers Mars ton played the last twelve holes 4 strokes better than he was able to play them against any other man through the tournament It was not Travers poor golf that lost. It was the fate that threw him against the
  play.
 Not to Forget Cravath.
 Then again there is the world series case of Cactus Cravath. The Cactus One was tipped to knock the ball out of the lot. Tn Philadelphia, where the fences are fairly close, he was unable to get in a long punch. In Boston where the field is big, Cravath smashes at least three long flies that would have earned him eternal fame if they had been landed in his home bailiwick. They went for outs in Boston where they would have been home runs in Philadelphia He was facing the same pitching in Boston that he faced in Philadelphia It was Tot through lack of merit, but rather that Fate on this occasion had him marked and spotted.

Detroit, Mich., June 6.-Detroit made it three straight in the series with Washington yesterday, winning to 2. Coveleski held the nationals to six hits and was in serious trouble only twice. Five of the six hits were made in the last three innings. A little break in the luck in the third and an error by Mcbride in the fourth helped to beat Washington.

The Phantom of Defeat.

The Phantom Of Defeat. They may not see me from the field Whom I have shadowed in the fight; They may not know why they must
 yield
 Whatever be their skill, or might; They only know that through the Their feet may never reach the
 throne,
 Their portion only signs and tears Whom I have marked to be my own. They may not know I marked them
 out
 1r babyhood-nor down the way I guided them in reel and rout Across the borders of their day; They only wonder at the might Of unseen hands that drag them
 back,
 Just as they storm the final height To falter in the last attack You know the ones I speak of here, That ought to win-but never do; You've watched them struggle year
 by year And falter when the crown is due; You called it lack of nerve-or
 SuCIl-
 Not knowing, when their dream was
 killed,
 That I, Fate, held them in my clutch And drove them downward as I will
 led
 And some I crush before they rise, And others I give dreams that see Beyond the starlight of the skies The victories that are to be; I lead them upward to the crest, And then, just where the last gate
 stands, I drive the thorns into each breast And wrest the roses from their hands. They may not see me from the Field, Whom I have shadowed in the Fight; They may not know why they must
 yield, Whatever be their skill-or might; They only know that out the way Some shadow ever aims the throne Poor dreamers of an empty day, Whom I have marked to be my own.

Fate and Success.

It is more inspiring, and there is a better moral tone involved, to sug- eest that in sport each man is a carver of his own destiny-that pluck is everything and that luck is nothing
 But the pallid facts are something else. Pluck and skill and efficiency are quite lot But don't overlook Fate. And the part that Luck plays is not to be missed.
 The Games Destiny.
 What is meant by Fate? We'll, here is one instance. Last Septem ber at Detroit In the amateur golf cham pionship Chick Evans had "A in his first round and was beaten. Sherrill sherman had no round under 80 and
