Townley Meets Idaho Politicians.

Spokane, March 15.-The gathering
here Of Idaho politicians, says the
Spokesman Review, is believed to have
been the occasion of the Spokane visit

the nominees, headed by III. f. Sam

Mr. Samuels was at the Davenport
Friday night. Political wiseacres see
in his presence and that of other poll
ficians at the Davenport the same
night more than an accidental meet

bination directed largely against the
senatorial candidacy of f. X. Goodme
who Is and has been outspOken in his

In addition to Williams, internal
revenue collector, other Nugent satel

urer of the local club.
Plans are being made to form six

here last year and from present indi-
cations it appears that probably all the
towns which battled for the rag last
year will he on the firing line when
time is called this spring. 1t is pos
sible, however that Ferdinand will
drop out, in which cake Koosl;ia will
likely be admitted. lBillie Parsons
and other players at Kooskia are clam
oring for a chance at the pennant In
the Prairie league this year. A meet

others interested in the league has
been called for Saturday evening,

Outlook for strong local club has
never been brighter at this season of
the year. As usual the club is shy any
great wealth Of whirlwind pitching
talent but plans are under way to
overcome this handicap.
At present there are about four
bacllstoppers who viii he invited to
don the big mitt and try ont for the
catcher's job. including Kabot. Basin

Hurley, Hazelbaker, Asher. Meyers

be slated to take a try at the pitchers
duties, while some seven infielders-
Ingram Belbnaine, Howard, Hartnett,
Gay Eimers. Rambo and Glib Eimers-
will work out for the honor of holding
down the three sacks and the short
field. Some of these, too. may be

Morris, Gillett, Evans, Jim Altman,
Tom Hazelbaker and Milliorn ready

is most gratifying. The only avail

The committee In charge of building
the new Preventorium met at the site
in Pittsford Tuesday afternoon for the
purpose of determining the exact Ioca-
ton for the building. 1t was decided that
the back OF the building should come up
to the pine woods that are in the plot
and extend almost directly south. This
will give protection from the north by
the woods, from the east by n ridge of
trees n short distance away and from
the west by rising ground. The south is
open to beautiful view and the porches
will receive all of the sunlight there is
There is slight slope to the east
which will make it possible to use tho
southeast basement for a play-room. with
full height windows, which will make the
room light and sunny. The approach 10

be built through tho pine woods. Tho
