Sullivan and Kllrain taking place

been taken to secure the arrest of the
parties should they by chance manage to
avoid the officers of the law and fight in

that the vigorous measures adopted and
put in force by Governor Lowry will
deter the pugilists from attempting tc

soonest publication of the kind ever

character OF the illustrations and the

Everyone who can afford to do 80,

He thought there was big chance of

standing the talk about Kilrain's condi-

Judge of Kilrain's condition, he said,
will be Sullivan, after they meet Monday

now, and if Sullivan could beat now he
could do it any time hereafter. He pro-
posed to give Klrain just enough exer-
else to keep his blood in condition and

FROM all accounts the movements ol

The milk has all been sucked out of the
northern cocoanut and the next great
movement of settlement and travel will
be reported from Southern California.
The fact is that the cheapest real estate
in the United States, considering what
can be realized from it, can now be found

We can look on with pleasure or even

polished and sensitive as we have be-

perhaps it is the fact that we have OF late
years had great revival in the arts that
promote physical development, that

The first demand of an enlightened
American statesmanship is the repeal of
the Interstate Commerce law and the
second is the adoption of an intelligent
system of bounties to encourage an
American merchant marine. For years
past there seems to have been the most
absolute indifference as to the we'll di-
rected efforts Of foreign powers to cripple
the United States, and to filch from her
sources of profit distinctively her own,
Senator Reagan, and the other able gen.
tlemen who we're mainly instrumental
in fabricating the Interstate Commerce
bill are patriots who have rendered great
services in Congress, and who deserve
recognition on many grounds, but they
scarcely possess the degree of experience
neces sary in adjusting transportation diff
ficulties. Everyone who has the interest
of American railways and of the Pacific
Coast at heart should agitate for the re-
peal of law which builds up Canada
and British Columbia at the expense of
the United States. The work is diff
cult one, but the sooner the effort is
made the sooner we may hope to see a
heavy handicap lifted from American
commerce.
