O'BRIEN-CHOYNSKI.
Interesting Fight Tonight in Phila-
delphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 90
Philadelphia Jack" O'Brien, whose
great reputation as a fighter was
somewhat clouded by his poor
showing in his recent fight with
Peter Maher, is to have a chance
to redeem himself tonight.
He is slated to go against Joe
Choynski, the clever Californian, in
a six-round go before the Penn Art
club. This will be the second time
these two fighters have faced each
other in the ring recently. In their
previous meeting, which was a six
round go in Chicago, O'Brien got
the decision over Choynski after a
One-sided contest.
Choynski claimed that he was not
in proper shape on that occasion
and as a consequence tonight's go
was arranged Both men appear to
be in good fighting condition and
from all appearance neither will
have the excuse of poor condition
to fall back upon in the event of
defeat.

AN IMMENSE CROP PROMISED IN
NORTH DAKOTA WITH Is PER

AN IMMENSE CROP PROMISED IN
NORTH DAKOTA WITH Is PER,
CENT CLASSED AS LATE"
George Heising of the chamber Of
commerce came in this morning from
aAtrip through North Dakota, says the
Minneapolis Journal. Mr.. Heising
gave special attention to the condition
of fax and brings very favorable re-
ports.> The general promise is for a
magnificent yield as the flax in its pres
ent stand is almost perfect. In places
the bulb has already formed and the
plant beginning to change color.
Fifteen per cent is the estimate Mr..
Heising makes of the acreage that can
be classified as late fax. Eighty-fve
per cent of the total acreage is fax
seeded at about the usual time and
under about normal conditions. OF
this acreage probably one-half or
about ~ per cent of the total area is
in such shape that the yield may ever
now almost be said to be assured. and
the remaining area is gradually COM
ing to the same point OF relative
safety. For the Is per cent that is
classified as late flax, the promise is
excellent, but most of this will be sc
late in maturing that the possibility
of some damage by early frost must, be
considered. =
On the whole, North Dakota stands
to- break all records this year in fla1
production. The enthusiasts in tht
state, says Mr.. Heising, are talking o
25,0 900 bushels for North Dakots
alone. Mr.. Heising made some cal
culations as to the total yield but doe
not care to give an estimate in bushel
until the general stand is nearer ma
turity.
