HOT CONTEST IS
DUE ON FOURTH
Turnagain Arm ROOters Expect to
Clean Up Home Guard After
Fine Showing.

After the showing made by the
Alaskan Engineering Commission
players from Turnagain arm at yes
terday's six-inning game which Sew
ard won from Kern Creek 2 to 0, the
latter team and its boosters expect
to clean up the Seward Home Guard
team on July 4th.
Manager Ennis and Capt. Lucas of
the Home Guard aggregation say "nO
chance"
r. j. Weir, engineer in charge for
the railroad, and Keller. resident en-
gineer from Girdwood, who is captain
of the visitors, are backing their ag-
gregation not only to clean up the
Home Guards, but to wallop the best
team Seward can produce after the
first team returns from Cordova.
Needless to say, the contest on the
afternoon of the Fourth will be some
game.
The teams which clashed yesterday
lined up as follows: Seward-Camp-
bell, first base; Thomas, shortstop;
T. Finnegan, second base; Reed, third
base; ]. Finnegan, left field, Murphy
center field; Poehlmann, catcher; Lu-
cas-, pitcher; Shellhorn, right field.
Kern Creek-Hanson, second base;
Fonda, shortstop; Linn, third base;
Ryan, left field; Blote, first base;
Hooker, right field; Haggerty, center
field; Stohl, catcher; Keller, pitcher.
In the first inning before Keller
hit his pace two runs were scored on
errors, after which the game settled
down to q pitchers battle and Meth
er team came very near score.
Lucas pitched the first two innings
for Seward and was followed by Gus
Manthey. The old war horse was in
good trim and burned them across the
edges in great style, paying more at,
tention to where he placed the ball
than what he put on it. The visitors
were unable to handle Lucas slow
ones and could find Gus.
Showers kept the crowd away and
made the first of the game unpleas-
ant, and the early sailing of the boa;
for Cordova broke up the game in the
sixth. Score 2 to 0.

j. Stanley Foster, New York bank
er, who has been on hunting trip to
westward with Ben Sweazy and Mar
tin Banbury, returned on the Admiral
Watson with two fine brown bear hide
trophies.
Sweazy reports seeing more bear on
this trip than for many years, owing
to the fact that the snow went off the
high hills early allowing the grass to
sprout above the alder line before the
snow was out of the trees. AS re-
suit the bears stayed high up and
could be plainly seen. He estimates
the party saw no less than so bear
during the trip.

Road Bonds Sold.

The $160. 900 road bonds re-
Gently voted on Navajo were sold
Tuesday to a bond firm at a dis
count of $4,000. The law re-
quires that all county bonds must
bring at least par value, and to
evade the plain provision of the
law the supervisors made the sale
at par and then allowed the buy
ers $4,000 for attorneys fees.
One would suppose pride in the
financial rating of the county
would have prompted the super
visors to have rejected any such
bid, but in their zeal to get hold
of the money and spend it right
away overcome their business
judgment. With ten per cent
trimmed off as a starter, with
the increased cost of material
and labor on account of the war,
and the notorious fact that all
public work gives not more than
sixty per cent value for every
dollar expended, the taxpayers
can gain some idea of the actual
value the county will receive
from the bond burden that has
been voted upon them.
Not one of the supervisors
would think of selling his per-
sonal note at ten per cent dis
count, and if he would guard his
own personal interest in finan-
cial matters, why should he not
exercise the same zeal in guard
ing the interests of the county?
Why the rush to crowd through
the bond sale at such a ridicu-
lous bid? There was no press
ing emergency, and the deal does

A Russian religious sect known
as Molokans, who have a colony
near Phoenix, have persistently
refused to register under the
selective conscription, and are
now confined in the Maricopa
county Jail, awaiting the action
of the court. Thirty seven men
are under arrest. The Molokans
are religious fanatics on the order
of Holy-Rollers, who believe in
manifestations and revelations
from the Lord. 1t is our indivi-
dual judgment that if given the
choice of signing the conscription
or being returned to Russia as
undesirable citizens, they will re-
ceive a hurry-up manifestation
from the Lord to register as the
law requires. They are a sect
that delight in being prosecuted
for their religious belief, as they
firmly believe the greater martyrs
they have been the greater the
glory that awaits them hereafter.

More Cyclones.
Prairie Home, Mo, June 9. 1917.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
| would like to inform my
friends in WinsIow through your
paper, of the narrow escape |
had in a Missouri tornado.
About 8 a. m. Tuesday, June 5th,
a terrible cyclone ragged through
this COOPER and adjoining coun-
ties, stripping bare strip vary
ing from one to five hundred
yards wide, taking everything in
its course. A new $40, 900 Pres
byterian church was lifted from
its foundations, and portions of
it carried eight miles. A piece
of 2X4 pine lumber was driven
through the trunk Of tree short
distance from where the church
stood. Farm houses, hay barns,
forest trees, automobiles, farm
machinery, cattle, horses, etc,
were carried miles from where
they stood.
am visiting at the home of
my brother-in-laW, C H. Barn
hart, formerly a machinist in the
Winslow shops, but who is now
"a licensed embalmer and under
taker here. Their town was just
outside the storm district. Mr..
Banhart worked for three days
caring for and burying the dead.
Many were injured, some serious
ly, and others only slightly. In
some homes two or three were
killed while others escaped injury
entirely. A trip through the
storm course the following day
convinced me that Arizona was
much to be preferred to Missouri
as a place for my abode.

Patriotic Poultry.

Before the worlds war was
six months old, Great Britain,
through government sources, was
strongly advising a great increase
in poultry keeping, and in the
production of eggs and poultry
meat. D. F. Houston, secretary
of agriculture of our country. has
likewise taken up the subject,
and has submitted and open let
ter to the poultry journals of the
country, with the request that
they publicly take up the matter
of increased poultry and egg pro-
duction.
For our own city of Winslow
the need of this extension of
poultry raising is particularly
great, judging by the price of
eggs at time season. Even with
poultry feed as high as it is, the
person who has a flock of laying
hens is almost as fortunate as
the one who owned the goose
thatSlaid the golden eggs. If
eggs bring soc at this time of the
year, in December S1.00 a dozen
will be cheap.
The waste from the table, some
tables, will go a long way to-
ward egg production. The per-
son producing food is helping the
nation in a time of need. The
person who wastes food or wastes
the opportunity to produce food,
is giving assistance to the enemy.
No man liveth to himself alone
in these serious times, and some
will awake to the fact when they
have failed to respond to the
Presidents request, and the
advise of such men as Secretary
Houston. w. B. COLE.

HEAVY DEMAND FOR
WORKERS ON FARMS

Demands are being made upon the
employment bureau of the farm mas
kets director to supply help on
ranches in several sections of Idaho.
Both male and female help is in de-
mand and the supply cannot be filled

There is no charge made for securing
positions and farm hands, dairymcn,
irrigators and women cooks are in
vited to register for positions.
The department has calls for five
general farm hands, unmarried men,
and several good ranch Jobs for man
and wife on ranches in Ada and Can
yon counties. Experienced dairymen
irrigators and women cooks are also
wanted.
Wendell farmers have written asking
for several unmarried men and one
has made request for a man and wife
to take charge of orchard work and
bees.
A Nampa farmer can use a boy 16
years of age and will pay $25 per
month and board and lodging.

PLAN TO SETTLE
THE DIFFICULTIES
OF GEM DISTRICT
Bill to Be Introduced in the
Legislature Providing for
the Technical Purchase of
10000 Acres of School
Land.

The troubles of the Gem irrigation
district are likely to be Settled by q
bill that is to be introduced in the
senate. as approved by the attorney
general, by the terms of which $4,000
will be taken from the general fund
and transferred to the school fund for
the technical purchase of the 10000
acres of school lands within the dis
trict, which the state will thereafter
deed to the district itself.
The state owes approximately $780,
600 maintenance charges to the dis
trict for the 10000 acres of school land
and the district has charged the state
with 100000 construction charges
which the state has never paid and
which 1t has never recognized official
ly. BY authorizing the transfer the
state will be in a position to rid itself
of the obligations charged to it in the
district, reimburse the school fund and
cut off further maintenance charges.
1t is understood that the district
directors have plan whereby they
can raise the necessary funds If the
action proposed by the state is TAX en-,
to build n hydro electric power plant
with which to pump water to some of
the lands. There Is pending before the
legislature a bill carrying an appro-
priation of 100000 to construct this
plant on the Boise river below the Ar
rowrock dam.
