Pebbles From California

Grinding pebbles as a California
product are first announced in the
report of mineral production for
1915, the years yield having been
$40 tons, valued at $3.50. Flint
pebbles have been imported from
Belgium and other parts of Europe,
but the higher prices have led to
search for American supplies.
One shipment of pebbles from
gold dredger tailings in Sacramento
county proved so soft that the
consumption was three times as
great as that of Danish pebbles
this, with a long wagon haul MAX
ing the material too expensive.
Better results have been had with
the washed pebbles one to six inches
in diameter, off the beaches in San
Diego county, and these chiefly
basalt and diabase, with some fels-
ite and flint--are used in metal
lurgical plants in California, Neva-
da and Montana. The pebbles are
used in grinding minerals, ores,
cement, etc., the total importation
into the United States in 1914 hav-
ing been $479, ,146.-Ex.

themselves acquired 500, 100000

fact. I would give, my right hand

A Portrait of Mother
By Mr.. J. 3.

What pathos in those eyes, bereft of tears,
That find no vent with life's more soothing tide
But ever in the salty tomb abide,
Growing more salty with the flowing years.
There is kind hope. yet mingled are hopes fears,
Indebted in depths unfathomed in those orbs;
A sea of anguish that your heart absorbs,
Embttering all, it seems. that life endears.
Fair one. nov that the warm gales are on wing,
With balsam-lsden sweets to fill the bowers
Soon 'wak'ning life's rich beauty everywhere,
You, too. know, shall feel the breath of Spring.
And like the birds amongst your garden flowers
Your heart will sing and find lost comfort there.

hind in the score, should hearten
up the M. S. P.s considerably, and
we hope it will keep intact the get
together spirit which caused them
to win.
The game was far from ideal for
the national game, as a chill breeze
swept over the diamond and pre-
vented real fast article of ball.
In fact, it was overcoat weather
and only a small number of visitors
viewed the contest.
Five new players appeared in the
local lineup, and that they have
added considerable strength to the
team is, we think, pretty generally
conceded. One game, of course, does
not make or comprise a seasons
schedule and we are not proclaim
ing invincibility on the strength of
what took place Saturday; still that
infeld looks stronger by far than
any previous combination entrust-
ed with its guardianship. 1t ap-
pears capable of covering all the
ground assigned and the plays that
came up were undertaken in a
confident manner. While a couple
of plays went wrong, due to cold
and numbed fingers. the boys evil

The battery positions will be
we'll looked after, Judging from the
work of those who occupied the
points Saturday. We understand
the team will have four or five
pitchers and the catching end is
safe in East's hands.
The team will undoubtedly work
smoothly and the rough spots dis
appear once real warm weather
sets in so that regular practice
may be indulged in without fear of
lame or sore arms.
The first inning was a produc-
tion of a cluster of runs for both
teams, the M. S. P.s being the
most fortunate by gathering in
five to the visitors three. The lat
ter were due to solid hitting, as
Speich led with a single and came
home when Forceia followed with
a triple, himself scoring on the en-
suing infeld play. After Biege
had struck out, Marohn also tripled
to left and scored on Mockler's
single down the left foul line.
When the M. S. P.s' turn came
they Immediately got busy and
produced five runs on three singles,
double, base on balls together
with a misjudged pop-1y and
couple of passed balls.
Nothing out of the ordinary
happened in the next three frames,
as both teams had settled down and
only four men got on the bases,
both sides being retired one-two-
three in the second and third.
In the fifth Oak Park scored one
when Speich went all the way
around on a couple of errors and a
steal. The home team retrieved
the advantage again in the sixth
when Brad delivered tremendous
wallop to deep center and scooted
clear home ahead of the ball.
The seventh indicated final dis
aster for our athletes when Oak
Park pushed in four tallies. Nor
had given way to Lee in the box
when Speich again led off with a
double, Forceia hit sharply to Lee
who chose try for Speich at
third. This was lily calculated,
for the throw was neither quick
nor accurate enough and both rum
ners we're safe. Erhorn struck
out. Biege then reached first on a

FACTS RELATIVE TO THE d.
VISION OF CANYON COUNTY

In conversation with C. F. Pear
We learned some in'ere sting fac s
Mr.. Bean is a resident OF Gem Coun
ty end owns four farms, a 5-acre
tract adjoining the town of Swee'
making a to.al Of 410 acres, also a
house and lot in Montour, all OF
which he paid taxes on before Gem
County was create d, and stated that
he taxes were less since the crea-
ton of Gem County, than they were
before, and also that the taxes on
his 60-acre farm near NV Plymouth
which is in Canyon County was
more this year than ell of his prop
:rty in Gem County. This does not
look like hieher taxa ion in small
County government. Mr.. Pean fur
ther stated that the many other
ccHyeniences were hi0hly appreciat-
ed by the people of Gem County.
If the people living in small and
newly created counties were dissatis-
fled and their experirnre gre eater,
why is it we never sec them asting
TO be reannexed to the old comfy,
and why do We see a constsnt de-
mand for the creation of new and
smaller counties. 1t is because small
Ter units can be handlcd more eff
"iently. The merchent who buys and
sells his own goods and dos his
own work cen operate his business
much cheaper than the 1arg-r ones
A small store can be rrn at an ex-
Dense Of s to 10 percent; larger,
2 to Is; while the large department
stores figure their expenses at least
80 percent.

veste each year States Ike New
York waste mil'io-s very year on
lc"ount of their bigne SIS. Large cit
cs squender millicps in waste be-
cause of their size. The reason the
government, the large states and cit
es waste so muoh is because the
people are not close enough to head
luarters The reason the large stores
waste so much is because the stock
holders are too far from the bust
ness. The reason the railroads waste
80 much is because the ones who
have the money invested

'ce Jam Quite Serious.
The ice jam in the Payette river
is causing considerable une" sin SIS,
as there are several jams along at
different places. The one at the
new Frlitland bridge is psrhars the
most serious. However, County Com
missioner Giesler was wise to the
situation and got there with some
men and by the use of dynamite
managed to open a charnel in the
center of the river, and at this writ
ing it looks as if the danger pint
was past. However, before relief
"ould be obtained, the water had
risen until it cut out quite chun k
of the grade at the bridge of the
Washoe ditch near the hill.
