High Grade Men 10 Keep Idaho
Sports Clean.

Boise, Idaho-At this writing, Gov
crnor Davis has not yet named the
members of the Idaho Athletic Com
mission authorized under bill enact
ed by the last legislature.
The only decision reached, so far as
known, is to appoint one man from
the north, one from Boise and one
from the southeast.
The Boise appointee will probably
be Thomas Sherlock manager 81 the
Boise Natatorium,. who has for years
stood as an exponent of clean sports.
The other appointments win be of
men who take the same view of ath-
l-eics, arl the result will be that the
sporting events in Idaho will be kept
on high standard.
That is particularly desirable at
this. tine, especially in view of the
prospect of the Willard Dempsey bout
being brought TO this state.
If it is staged in Idaho, it will be at
Pccatello, as all other cities in the
safe are behind Pocatello in its am
bition TO secure the event.
Sehuffling cards is a common thing,

idea as to what you want in the way
of house? "Oh yes. We have been

will pass on to Turin.
Turin is city that you hear but
little about, it has a population OF
100000 people, and is the new Italy
and in my judgment, rivals Paris for
beauty. 1t has streets about 200 feet
wide, all business buildings on any
particular street are the same height
and exactly alike. Their parks, street
monuments and statuary are grand.

Pope. Here is ST. Peters Cathedral
the largest and most elaborate in the
world ] went up into the tower OF
st. Peters which is d50 feet high, after
going up to the base of the tower, we
had to climb 800 steps. People down
on the street looked no larger than
flies. The Forum is here and Palatine
Hill, the Apian Way and the cata-
combs. TIE Catacombs are an under
ground cemetery with five stories
under ground, and seventeen miles
long, here is where they buried the
christion martys, many Of whom were
killed in the Coliseum by the wild
beasts. At Rome is the huge Coliseum
which seats $4,000 people, and will
accommodate altogether 100000 peo-
pie, all built of stone, mostly in ruins
now as it is about two thousand years
old. Here is where the gladiators
fought, where they had their bull
fights and where the Christians were
Fed to the wild beasts, while the mad
dening throng cheered. The Roman
Baths were very interesting, cover
ing many acres, built of stone and
several stories high, these caused so
much idelness among the people that
they were indirectly the cause of the
downfall of Rome, which at one time
was the capital of the world. l could

or Of the Rothschild banking house,
which was to buy securities neither
az the lowest prices, nor to sell at
the highest, and which the baron
demonstrated so successfully is not
q bad one just now. There is, more
over the probability that building,
erected at more than at normal cost,
may furnish the opportunity for con-
lucting, for some years at least, a
hrainess at profits which will warrant
the unusual expenditure, There is
always a happy medium" some
where between the abnormally high

difficult of determination, but which
is warranted and advisable.
Some building materials have al
ready fallen in price; substantial
reduction in many others will doubt
less produce greater profits at the
end of twelve months, by reason of
| increased sales, or sales which would
otherwise not be made at all, than

prices, which is ultimately impossi-

War Department, which has the dis.
posal of hundreds of millions Of dol

POSSIBILITIES OF AN

Miss Van Week had been reading

And gradually paid for, a hat SURELY

hats were high.

quite low,
But she found sweet straw thing as
blue as the sky,
Trimmed with roses as white as the
snow.

purse could well meet.
