JEFF AND flTz LAUGH
At C0RBETT'S CLAIMS

Billy Delaney is not with the party,
but will join it in Kansas City.
The contract which brings the
heavyweights together is only one
of mutual agreement and may be
broken at any time on two weeks
notice by either. If the tour is
financially successful, they will
probably remain together for some
months, touring the world.
This is the sixth stand the cham
pion and ex-champion have made
on their tour and at every place
they have been greeted with packed
houses.

cient Importance to be in position
TO demand the fight. Like Fitzsim-
mons am not looking for any and
every one who thinks he has a
claim on the championship and
who would not make a fight at all.
Regarding that proposition of
Ruhlin's, do those people think for
a minute that we would stop to &C
commodate them for $4,000 when we
are clearing more than that in a
week under the present tour?
I'VE are doing well on the trip
and will probably cross the water
before we separate.
"Corbett can't knock any of the
big fellows out and his proposition
is ali wind as far as we are con
cerned."
I'VE cleaned up $4,000 last week,
said Clark Ball. Can the clubs
touch this in any offer they wish
to make?"
He emphatically denies the re
ports that they will stop over fol
any fistic encounter at the present
time.

The most important event to
come Off soon is the go between
Tommy Ryan and Jack Root. They
have settled the pound of flesh
wrangle and are now waiting bids
from the various clubs. Fort Erie
has offered a $1,000 purse for the
battle, and as it is the highest bid
offered it will probably be accept
ed, 1t will undoubtedly draw q
$4,000 to 100000 house, and the
club that gets the mill will make
money.
A thousand dollar purse was a
fortune for an ordinary fighter 10
years ago, but at this stage of the
game any fighter who is touted as
a championship possibility can de-
mand at least three times that
much before signing articles. The
fighting game is flourishing and
any champion who fails to connect
with the long green this winter
should retire to the tall uncut.

attic and Portland. How an all
coast league will pay is a conun-
drum that is bothering more than
one baseball fan. Portland is not
an exceptionally good ball town
and the proposition in that town is
which one will freeze out first.
Magnates of both leagues say
tAey are determined to fight to the
end and it may be expected that
both sides will have good players
and play good ball Perhaps both
will be content to lose money rather
than back down in the matter.
| Baseball fans, of course, will
lpatroniZe the league which puts up
the best ball, and, as both are de-
termined to have the best, one
thing is certain-the joyful fan will
not be the loser. Why not take
Salt Lake into the Pacific North
west league? 1t is a far better
ball town than Portland.

states that Portland will represent

for statehood for Oklahoma. In
closing be saidi "Why should Ok

eminent and strenuously object TO
longer marching in a procession
tied by a congress which, though
trying to be just and kind, is not
at oil times able to appreciate the
local situation or TO give much
needed and speedy reli ef. Our
people believe that they possess
not only the right to be heard but
the right to vote in the councils of
the nation, and they now ask that
they be permitted to exercise that
right. As has been said in the
past OF another great territory
which was making it's last demand
for admission, Oklahoma is "a
peerless beauty in resources, in
wealth, in numbers, and in intel.
ligenoe, the pride Of all America
yet ignored by congress and denied
the right to enter her fathers
house." We hope that will not
be true as far as this house is con-
cerned when the hour arrives to
record your votes. The only way
to encourage people who have
gone forth and builded a new com.

Senate Bill Providing for the
Sale Of Factory Sites
in Territory.
OBJECT OF MEASURE
Is to Promote Material Interests
Of the Territory by In.
viting the Location of
Factories Near
the Towns.

The house has favorably re-
ported the senate bill providing
for the sale of sites for manufac'
turing or industrial plants in In
dian territory.
The bill, as il passed the senate
provides that the chief executive
officer of any Of the five civilized
tribes in Indian territory may,
with the approval of the secretary
of the interior, and upon such
terms and conditions as the secre.
tary may prescribe, sell and con-
vey in tracts not exceeding forty
acres at any one place, such lands
adjoining or in the vicinity Of a
town site in the nation as may be
desired for the establishment and
operation of a manufacturing or
industrial plant-whioh will tend
to encourage the cultivation of the
lands held by the tribe or its
members, or which will promote
the general welfare of the COM
muniiy. The proceeds derived
from the sale of the land are to be
turned into the treasury to the
credit of the tribe. Where the
lands sold have been improved by
any member Of the tribe, he is to
be compensated for his right Of
occupancy or Improvements, out
Of the proceeds Of the sale. After
allotment has been made of the
lands Of any tribe desired for the
establishment or operation Of such
! plant, the sale and conveyance
th ereoi may, during the period
when alienation is otherwise pro,
hibited or restricted, be made by
the allottee in the manner pre-
scribed, instead OF being made by
the chief executive officer of the
tribe.
Representative Sherman,s Of
New York, chairman Of the com
mittee on Indian affairs, in re-
porting the bill favorabOy, said:
"The title Of the act correctly
describes its object, which is to
promote the sale and purchase oI
additional tribal properties adioin-
ing or near town sites for the use
of manufacturing or industrial
plants. The object Of the bill is
to encourage the entrance of such
industries into the territory, and
thus promote its material in
terests."

CONSTRUCTION RACE.
Rock Island and Frisco Preparing to
Lay Rails In Record Time.

The St, Louis and San Francis.
co have put men to work between
a point on the Frisco main line
between Gray's switch and Plat.
ter, eight miles north of Denison,
in the Chickasaw nation, to pur.
chase all the right of way of the
line surveyed from that point to
Coalgate, l. T., about a year ago.
The survey Of the Rock Island
practically parallels the Frisco
survey, and the survey Of the LAT l..
ter line has spurred the Frisco to
purchase the right of way and to
make preparations to go to work.
1t is to be race between tho
Rock Island and Frisco as to
which line will cover the field
first.
The Frisco is also reported
ready to let the contract for con-
strucilon from Coalgate to Okla
