Boise, Idaho—At this writing, Gov ernor Davis has not yet named the members of the Idaho Athletic Com mission authorized under a bill enact-; orl by thf last legislature. Tire only decision reached, so far as ! known, is to appoint ono man from | the north, one from Boise and one| from the southeast. _lhe Boise appointee will probably -Ska-lock, manager of thc Boise NutaioriunCwhcThas for years stood as an exponent of clean sports. The other appointments will be of men who take the same view of ath l't'cs, and the result will be that the sporting events in Idaho will be kept on a high standard. That Is particularly desirable atj, this-time, especially in view of thel prospect of thc Willard-Dempsey bout b ing brought to this state.

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 ol Rome, which at one time was the capital of the world.

Turin is a city that you hear but little about, it has a population of 600,000 people, and is the new Italy, and in my judgment, rivals Paris for beauty. It 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. The captain who was traveling with me thought he was getting the Ital ia! language fairly Well mastered,':ni we went into a cafe here, and he or dered a couple of drinks and the waiter brought us pigs feet. From Turin toward Modan we pass over the main range of the Alps moun tains. For hours we see nothing but snow capped mountains, while along the railroad is growing tropical fruits and the flowers, in bloom. Our train climbing, climbling continuously and every mile or so we pass through a tunnel, until we come to what I am told is the longest tunnel in the wbrld, requiring twenty minutes on a fast train to pass through it. We see canyons, thousands of feet below us. Every so often we see a rushing torrent flowing down the side of a distant mountain, and a large pipe along the side of it, which is carry ing part of this water to a huge pow er plant below. At these power plants is developed the power for lighting the Alpine cities and furnishes thc motive power for the railroads, as all trains here are drawn by electric I power engines, one on the, front and! one on the rear of the train.
