conneIly whipped by Hawkins.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 16.-At the
Knickerbocker Club tonight, previous to
the Ego" betw cen Dial Hawkins of this city,
and Eddie Connolly, Of New Brunswick,
there was a preliminary between Tom Lam
sing and Joe King. The fight lasted two
rounds, Lansing knocking King senseless
with a right-hand smash on the jaw.
There were only about a thousand people
present when the event of the evening was
called The Hawkins-C Connolly contest
opened up at fast clip. with Connolly on
the aggressive. In the second round Haw-
kins went to his corner groggy. while Con-
nelly had very bad eye from Dals left
hook. From this point up to the seventh
honors were easy. Both men seemed Will
ing to mix IT, and the inhghtng usually
ended in Hawkins's favor. At the end OF
the seventh Hawkins was again grOggy
from right-hand smash on the jaw. Haw
kins came up strong for the eighth, how
ever, and went after his opponent. He
forced Connolly about the ring, using his
terrific left hand half swing with effect on
the Fasteners face and neck, but was UNI
able to put II on the jaw. In the tenth Con-
nelly received vicious swing on the tenn
pie which left cash from which the blood
flowed freely. The eleventh and twelfth
Connolly rallied and forced Hawkins about
the ring in desperate attempt TO end the
fight but the round ended with a hard left
on Connelly's face, which staggered him.
In the fourteenth and last round Connolly
rushed. but was met with a stiff left. In
a hot rally Hawkins sent in a smashing
right on the jaw, and Connolly went down
and out.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
A Mason Valley Industry.

The estaLishme mt of one or moro
creameries in this county has been
agitated in this paper for several
years, but up to the present time
none have been established. That
creameries would prove beneficial to
our farmers is plainly evident from
the following article from the Dayton
Times:
Some years ago stock company
built creamery in Mason valley and
started in to manufacture butter,
cheese, etc. It was after years Of
urging by this writer that the cream
cry was established, and then it was
not managed as such an nstitutio
should have been. In the first place
the company agreed to pay 80 cents
per hundred pounds for milk, and
made some other stipulations which
would have let it own the creamery
and all the ranches that supplied milk
i'll few years. 1t was not long that
80 cents per hundred was paid for
milk. The prices paid dropped from
that figure to 25 or 30 cents a hun.
dred up to within few months ago,
and very little milk was beng sent t.
the establishment.
Two or three months ago several of
the more enterprising ranchers IN the
valley concluded to lease the cream
cry, if they could, and run it on the
cooperative plan. They found 1t
could be leased for 80 per month.
and that one man could manage it up
to time that it was receiving 5000
pounds OF milk day to work. The
wages he asked were $50 per month,
which with wood and other expenses
amounted to about Sl20 or $3.50 per
month. Those who went into the
lease agreed to pay this expense and
then give each man his pro rata on
each 100 pounds Of milk furnished by
him during the month. The result
was that more milk was received than
before, and at the end Of tho first
month the milk returned to the
farmers who furnished it between 81
and 10 cents per hundred. This gave
tho movement an impetus and more
milk was furnished, until at the
present time about 1000 pounds are
beng received daily.
The butter manufactured by the CO.
operative concern is as fine as can be
produced anywhere, and finds ready
market in San Francisco at the top
figures. AL that is manufactured.
except that which is consumed mt
home, is shipped.
Those who have rejuvenated the
creamery enterprise ars now think
ing Of buying the building and ma
chinery and continuing on the CO.
operative plan. 1t it understood that
the plat can be bought, with 10 &C, es
OF ground, for about $4,000.
Certain it is that the institution as
now operated is paying one, and
also the means of furnishing the farm
ors with ready money each month,
and it goes without saying that such
a proposition is a benefit to the COM
duDity in which it is located.
