 Tremendous and cheering crowds greeted him.
 Colonel Roosevelt maintained that President Wilson used weasel words which sucked the life out Of his phrases and made them meaningless.

 "I like them in private life" he added. they are nice, amiable men. But I cannot join them in any well meant joy rides, which is what l should be compelled odo if l should take tleir ideas seriously"

 De Factos Fail
 High officials said the de facto gov ernment so far had failed utterly to demonstrate it's ability to protect the border against bandits, and expressed the opinion that troops would stay in Mexico until this was done. The un- compromising tone of the noie was probably for effect on the Mexican people. and there was little disposi- ton to believe that the de facto gov ernment actually contemplated active armed measures against the Ameri- can troops.

This is equally true OF resolutions.
Right at the start, and combining my
remarks exclusively to our own folks
here in Boise. say that we resolve
too much and perform too little. We
would be wise TO make fewer resolu
tions and pay decent respect to those
we do make.
Then as a starting point for all our
good resolutions, as a community,
suggest that we cut out carping. silly
and unfair criticisms of each other and
of our town.

women discussing another person who

Sporting News
VOLLtY BALL POPULAR
At THE Y.M.C.A. GYM.

In order to give the early arrivals
at the Y. NJ. c. A. Friday night an
entertainment prior to the fathers and
sons banquet, DR.. Marshall, physical
director trotted out his champion vol
ley ball team. composed of the senior
business men, and had them give an
exhibition.
Volley ball is game in which
sphere about the size of a basket ball
is used and it is batted by the hands
over a net in the center of the floor
and must not touch the floor. If a
team let's the ball strike the floor 1t
counts against them.
Boise has some excellent volley ball
players in both the business and pro-
fessional men. many of whom are TAX
ing the exercise for desired effects and
are securing them. AXel p. Ramstedt,
one of the fast squad, is playing the
game to take off flesh. Beside him in
the game is Senator Freehafer, who is
playing to put on flesh. Both have
become fast and famous in the art
of batting the big ball skyward. Silent
Sherman King is another whirlwind
on the floor of the gym. He plays
with grim determination is always on
guard and is known as the silent slug
ger of the floor. w. u. McReynolds
plays the game Just for fun and he
has it. His eyesight is not the best
and in the exhibition game he missed
three good balls which in the ma
tlonal game would have counted strikes.
Charles Winstead plays a fair game,
but is a little too heavy for fast work
nd unble to reach the high ones. Sam
l.. Blaine plays the game as though it
were tennis, bats, jumps and often hits
the wind the same as though reaching
for high one with the enlarged fly
swatters
The game is n scream from start to
finish. The men relax and laugh They
put forth every pound of energy to
keep the ball skyward as they bat it
to and fro across the screen net. 1t
develops muscle and grace as is testi-
fled to by +. II. Ehrensberger of the
association. 1t is n game of Diff. biff
and each fellow has n turn and the
players seem to enjoy the fun. There is
but one requisite to enter the game
and that is one must have graduated
from the slower and less complicated
game of basketball and he is then fit
to measure up to the standard of VOL
ley ball.

Court Room Ordered Cleared.

Court Room Ordered Cleared.
The curiosity seekers who crowded
the court room last night listening to
the evidence in the case made a hasty
exit about o'clock in the evening
when Judge Davis ordered the court
room cleared The incident occurred
when Roy Cody was on the stand for
the state and gave some rather racy
testimony concerning his relations
with Emma Smith. On cross -exami-
nation Judge Perky, for the defense,
called Emma Smith to the court room
and asked hing II she was the girl he
referred to and the witness replied
that she was. With considerable feel
ing, Judge Perky made the statement
that he proposed to go to the bottom
of the witness testimony for the rea-
son that 1t affected the character of a
young woman, and while, he. stated, he
was not her attorney, he proposed to
protect her. Hardly had he ceased
speaking when a volley of applause
burst from the spectators, which was
silenced by Judge Davis who then gave
the order to have the court room
cleared. The spectators left hur-
riedly.
Cody was on the stand for some time
and testified to having given money TO
Emma Smith and told OF houses to
which he had accompanied her. Judge
Perky Immediately demanded that the
witness conduct the jury and attor-
neys to the houses he had testified
about. The witness was positive he
could take them to the places and a
view was made under supervision of
Sheriff Pfost and two deputies. Cody
took the parties out. He was not sure
as to one of the houses but was as to
the other although he did not enter
one of the places to which he walked
with the young woman. 1t was shown
by the register of the oxford that
Cody had registered there on August
% and had room 405. He testified that
barber by name of Brotherton had
introduced him to Emma Smith. Mr..
Brotherton was called to the stand and
testified that he knew Cody slightly,
but had never introduced him to Emma
Smith and did not even know her.
Miss Smith was brought into court for
the witness to view and he still testi-
fled he did not know her.

tesque and meaningless, represent their
crude efforts to leave permanent
record of these wars. One o. the most
common of these war story pictures is
known as THE Story of the Limpet
and the Whale" This picture is often
seen carved on their canoe paddles, or
on the side of their cedar packing
chests or printed on skins. To us it is
simply a grotesque picture of what
might be taken for a whale but looks
more like a jagarinus or something
with a lot of little jiggers clinging to
its sides. But TO an Alaskan Indian
it is a page of history. AS told by the
Indians it is something like this:
Story of the Whale.
long, long time ago there was a
certain Indian village built in a half
moon around beautiful bay where in
the season the inhabitants caught
great quantities Of herring and packed
them away for winter use. But one
year a great monster whale appeared
in the bay and ate up all the herring

to n rock, and when the whale passed
pursuing the herring he transferred
himself to the side OF the whale. Linn
pets multiply very rapidly and very
soon the sides of the giant creature
were covered with limpets who bur-
rowed under the whales skin and be-
came very painful. In running against
the rocks to remove them he followed
an underground channel and emerged
into lake under n great volcano and
could not find his way back again.
But for fear he would get hungry and
return the women carried baskets of
fish up to the top of the volcano after
the fishing season and threw them
into the crater down to the whale be-
low, where he was rolling in great
agony
The historical fact sought to be
conveyed by this carving as above ex-
planned is simply this; The powerful
whale Indians from the west coast of
Prince of Wales island came in great
numbers to this bay for herring to
which they had no rights The weaker
people owning the bay not being
strong enough to drive out these pow
erful whales or to make war against
them resorted to diplomacy and q set
tlement was negotiated by their Shar-
rian by the terms Of which they agreed
to pay tribute to the whale Indians if
they would not fish in their waters so
every year the women carried a per-
centage of the fish over the mountain
