WESTERLY ANNIHILATEs
ACADEMY TEAM

Barber held N. F. A. to one hit yes terday afternoon on the campus and Westerly easily won by the score of 10 to 0. The-la hurled fine game of ball having things well under control at all times.
 Captain Meek was the boy that squash ed his no-hit aspirations. Meek's hit came in the last half of the ninth, a sharp single to right. Not another man on the team made anything that even looked like hit.
 Westerly played errorless ball, in sharp contrast to the Norwich miscreants, who had made nine misplays when we stopped counting.
 Only six hits were made off Captain Meek. but then hits were unnecessary, as the captain was bit wild and walked Il men.
 To start the game off Meek famed the first batter. Then Whitney erred and Kenyon was safe. He stole second. He was out when Whitney grabbed Dowd's grounder and threw to Ringland who ran him down between second and third. Then with two down the Academy broke and by means of two more errors, pass and hit Westerly put three runs over the saucer. In the second they gathered four more and then one in each of the last three innings.
 This makes the fifth straight defeat for |, our heroes, and it's about time they snapped out of it and showed a little life

REFUSE JACK KELLY ENTRY
 IN HENLEY EVENTS

Philadelphia, June "A cablegram received here today from the stewards of the Henley regatta announced their re- fusaI to accept the entry of Jack Kelly, American sculling champion, to compete for the Diamond Souls in England the latter part of this month. The cable gram, which was addressed to John Ar thur Brown, member of the American Rowing Association, read:
 Entry of jack Kelly for diamond souls not accepted Letter will follow. Please advise Kelly"
 Neither Kelly nor Brown could explain the message. q see no reason for the refusal of my entry" said Kelly. Pos sibiy the Englishman are considering the trouble which arose after the return of the Vesper Boat Club in 1902 from the English Henley"
 The difficulty arose over the expense | account of the Vesper club, of which Kelly is member, and the English committee then declared that no VespeI crew would ever again row in the Hen ] ley.

Republican Platform
as Formed In Pocatello

The platform reiterates that
Americas greatness has always de-
pended upon the vigilance of our
statesmen in enacting and enforcing
laws for the protection of Ameri-
can homes, American workingmen
and American institutions, as against
the encroachment of foreign powers
and their conditions. ..
1t pledges the Republican party
in Idaho to go on perfecting the di-
rect primary law as it exists today
for nominating all county and pre-
cinct officers and to prevent the cor
ruption, destruction or stealing Of
political parties. 1t quotes our great
statesmen as authority for the state
ments that parties must exist and
be preserved as the custodians OF
government by the people. That in
times of war against foreign enemies
party lines may disappear as against
the foreign foe, but must he main
tanned in their power and integrity
for meeting domestic problems.
1t promises legislation for the
service men and for reclamation,
and endorses the present state ad-
ministraHon.
The full text Of the platform will
be published in this paper later.

FIRE LOSSES
IN BLACKFOOT
ARE VERY Low
Fire Chief Compliments
People for Keeping
Premises Clear of
Rubbish
LOSSES PAID $1,000
Property Carrying $751;
500 Saved by
Fire-Fighters

Blackfoot is to be congratulated
upon either it's luck or good man
agement, says Fire Chief Simons,
for the fact that in year and half
the city has had fire losses of only
$1,000.
Mentioning the further fact that
Blackfoot has not had a fire of any
sort for four whole months, the
chief knocked on wood and con-
tinued:
"I believe this good fortune is due
more than anything else to the peo-
pie who have been careful not to
let rubbish accumulate. The educa-
tional movement we have been help
ing along in the schools concerning
the danger of fire from carelessness
has undoubtedly had something to
do with this remarkable record.
Warns Agains. Let-up
"But I have noticed recently"
said the chief, "that there has been
some relaxing see summer accum-
ulations in out-of-the-way places,
and while the business people Of the
town have been especially careful
generally, this vacation time has
caused let-up. The greatest danger
is, of course, in the rear of business
blocks, where sheds, paper and boxes
make bad combination"
What Might Have Been
From mathematical point of
view Chief Simons brings out the
fact that what fires we have had
during the past year and half,
upon which the actual losses
amounted to only $1,000, had a hold
on property worth $150,0O0, not to
say anything of adjoining property
that would have been damaged and
destroyed but for the work Of the
fire department at the place Of
danger. Any fire in the business
area, it may be conceded, is capable
of wiping out whole block II not
subdued in time.
A total Of $7S,500 of insurance
was carried on buildings that have
been on fire during this period. The
$1,000 paid on losses by the insur-
ance companies was distributed
among five cases. Notwithstanding
this record of care on the peoples
part and efficiency Of the fire depart
ment, Blackfoot property owners pay
handsome extra premium for their
fire insurance because Of a deficiency
of water supply.
