DIES FAR AWAY FROM HOME
Mrs. Elmer E. Ayers Passes Away
While on Trip for the Benefit
- Ha, Hno1%1,

Dillon. Aug. 1.-THE body Of Mrs.
Elmer e. Ayers arrived in Dillon
Wednesday evening from Caldwell.
Idaho, where she died of consumption.
A. b. Cameron. q step-brother of the
dead woman, arrived yesterday from the
Madison valley and took the body home
for burial.
Mrs. Ayers was AZ years old and a
native of Iowa. She had been a resident
Of Montana for about twenty years. For
long time past she had been sui
ferer from consumption, and it was
known that the end was not far away.
Thinking that her health would be
benefited by change of climate. Mr..
Ayers five weeks ago left the Madison
valley, intending to make the overland
trip to California. His wife and L.
year-old daughter accompanied him.
Mrs. Ayers failed rapidly after leaving
home, and when Caldwell was reached
she died among strangers.

Corbett's Victory Over Dixon.

In defeating George Dixon in Denver
last night Young Corbett can scarce
ly be said to have climbed one round
higher, on the pugilistic ladder of fame.
While victory is always much prefer
rable to defeat there are different kinds
of victories and the one OF last night
was not of the decisive kind that would
entitle the Denver lad to the opinion
that he has a great chance against Ter
nv McGoyern. Corbett is a great little
fellow in his class and has bright
future before him. but 1t would appear
that he has a little farther at least tt
go before he can aspire to wrestling
championship honors from Terrible"

Matters of General Interest
In the Merry World Of Sport

With the exception of the breaking Of
q track record there was nothing un-
usual at the track yesterday. 1t was
the same old story of the talent doing
the guessing and guessing wrong. OF
the six favorites selected to land the
money only five fell by the wayside
and the result was that the books
closed the day with good sized pile of
the coin of the realm tucked away in
their jeans. The lone favorite to re-
ward her hackers was Parazaide. in the
third race, a selling at five and one-half
furlongs. She was at odds on, how
ever. which fact made her prohibitive
to the layers of small sized bets. Those
who had the money and who liked the
Ally, went at her hard and won out on
the race.
The breaking of the track record was
accomplished by c. A. Johnston's bay
gelding Tom Kingsley, carrying 107
pounds, with Dowler up. He covered
the six and one-half furlongs in the
fourth race in 1920, lowering the best
previous record for the track by one and
one-half seconds. The previous record
was made by George H. Ketchum. July
80. In breaking the record yesterday
Tom Kingsley was forced to his best
by Pope Leo, who was beaten by a
scant nose. Pope Leo was the fav orite
at tn odds on price of to 10, while to
/ was laid against tn chances of Tom
Kingsley.
The good thing of the day was Ca
priv. in the hurdle at one mile and
an eighth. He opened at 10 to 1 and
was backed down to 3 to 1. at closing.
The tip was a hot one and the books
had pienty Of "piker" money to take
care of. The favorite, Favorito. was
heavily played and was always in de-
nand. The best he could do was Sec
ond. a length behind Caprivi. Cousin
Lefty, at I to 2. was third. The time was
2:03lK. Looram, with Brodie up. fell at
tn second jump. Neither horse noe joe
key was injured, though the latter was
somewhat shaken.

Jeffries and Rubin at Last.


credited James J. Jeffries pugilist. ac-
tor, hunter. fisherman, blacksmith and
dealer in OIL has at last agreed to take
on Gus Rubin, the Akron Giant" in a
battle for the heavyweight champion
ship of the world. The dispatches state
that Rubin and his manager. Billy Mad
den, are now in San Francisco and that
Jeffries has not only agreed to a fight,
but has promised to affix his signature
to the necessary articles and post for
felt Monday. when the final details will
be arranged. The fight is to come off
before the San Francisco club offering
the largest purse and the date is given
as some time in October.
It certainly is about time the big fell
lows were getting together. and it is to
be hoped for the sake of the game they
work, that this time a match will be
a thing Of naturalization. Jeffries
has barked so long and loud that the
sporting public is about at that stage
where feeling akin to neusea overromes
them, at the mention of heavyweight
battle. Since last March Jeffries as
been going to fight" Rubin and yet
the match has dragged through more
than five months, without being any
nearer consumation, until yester lay,
than it was when first talked Of.
Jeffries claimed 70 be anxious to meet
Rubin and yet when the Akron Giant"
got within reaching distance of the
coast, the champion announced that he
wanted to take on Sharkey. The still
or jumped at the proposition and then
Jeffries switched to Bob Fitzsimmons.
There was nothing doing in a match
with either Sharkey or Fitz ami the
result was that when Rubin hit San
Francisco, Jeffries either had to take
him on or quit. 1t is to be hoped that
the Frisco dispatches are correct and
the the big fellows are in earnest about
their meeting.

To Prevent Paint From Scaling.

To prevent the paint on iron or wood
from scaling off when exposed to the
weather first thoroughly wash the
parts to be painted and then brush
over the surface with hot linseed oil.
By following this method, especially
with iron articles, no scaling of the
paint will occur. In cases where the
articles to be painted are small and
can be readily heated it is better to
heat them and plunge them into the
oil. The thin liquid oil when hot en-
tiers into the pores of the metal, alb
serbs the moisture, and the paint then
applied so firmly adheres that frost,
rain or air cannot effect separation.

THE PRESIDENTS DOG.

A little incident which somebody
about the White House witnessed the
other day IS significant both as an
illustration of certain traits in the
character of President Roosevelt and
as an example for his admirers.
There has been an impression among
certain of his critics that he believed
1.-The strenuous life" to consist chiefly
in hunting and killing animals; but
though mighty hunter, he is not
merely a Nimrod, as the following
occurrence shows.
1t was a rainy, dreary day, soon
after Mr.. Roosevelt's return to Wash
ington, and after busy morning the
president and his secretary started
out for walk. Just outside the door
lay homeless, friendless dog, as close
to the wall as he could get, his body
curled up into the smallest possible
bunch to avoid the rain and possible
observation. AS the two men emerged
from the door he looked up apprehen-
sively to see if kick or a stern "Be
Oh WILL JOuS INV. "OUi0 OOhAPOA
him to beat a rapid retreat, But
nothing of the sort occurred. Mr..
Roosevelt's expressive face took on
a plying and kindly look, and bend
ing down, he stroked the animals
head and pulled him gently by the
ears.
"Poor doggie, haven't you any mas
ter2" he inquired. Then he went
back into the house, and the dog, with
instructive understanding Of the sit
uation, trotted close to his heels. The
president ordered that the wait should
be taken to the kitchen and given a
good meal; and it is said that that dog
will be the dog Of the White House
during this administration.
Mr.. Roosevelt is not one of those
sportsmen who are satisfied with pop
ping away at tame pigeons. When
he goes hunting he wants the excite
ment of killing dangerous wild beast.
It will be good thing for his boy ad-
mirers to remember that the man
who led the charge up San Juan Hill
was quite as ready to befriend
homeless cur as to hunt cougars or
Grizzlies

and shipping interests is worth re-

reputation of being the marine news

amount of space gwen to shipping

Twelve Business MaXimS.

The president of the London Cham
Der of Commerce gives these twelve
maxims which he has tested through
years of business experienc &c, and
which he recommends as tending to
insure success:-
Have a definite aim.
Go straight for it.
Master all details.
Always know more than you are
expected to know.
Remember that difficulties are only
made to be overcome.
Treat failures as stepping stones to
further effort.
Never put your hand out further
than you can draw it back.
AT times be bold; always, be pru-
dent.
The minority often beats the major
ity in the end.
Make good use of other mems
brains.
Listen we'll; answer cautiously; de-
eide promptly.
Preserve, by all means in your
power, "a sound mind in sound body.
