J TO Extend Improvement Co.'S Ditch.

The Valley Improvement company
will expend between s35, 900 and $40, 900
in extensions to their present irrigating
ditch. Their plan is to build new and
larger canal above the line of the pres
ent ditch. The west fork of Hood river
will be tapped at Sandy fiat, point 4
miles above the sourse Of the present
ditch which heads near the forks of the
river, and the water will be carried in q
canal along the west bank of the stream
to the point above Jasper Wickham's
and Harry Hackett's places. This will
furnish q water supply for all farmers in
the Crapper neighborhood.
A force Of men will be put TO work
Immediately at both ends of the route,
and it is expected TO have the extension
completed by the last Of the year. The
new ditch will parallel the old camel, but
on line farther up the mountain. The
distance between Sandy fat and Hack
ett's place will be covered without the
need Of fumes, which insures a ditch
not apt TO frequently break down The
old ditch, though, will still be used, 80 in
case Of accident the patrons of the
company will not be entirely without
irrigating water.
Work on improvements to the present
ditch is now being done 50 that an in
creased supply may be secured for the
present season. The new ditch will
have a capacity Of 1900 inches, which
it is thought will be sufficient to meet
the needs Of the West Side for the next
four or Eve years. The Improvement
company has fled on the waters of
Green Point and Dead Point creeks, and
IS the new camel passes these streams
their waters will be turned into the same.

A COTTON FURRY
Yesterdays Enormous Gains Followed
by Still Higher Prices Today, New
HIGH Record Being Reached Early.

New York, May 19.-The enormous
gains of yesterday effected no appreci-
able decrease in the bullish excitement
and enthusiasm at the opening of the
cotton market today. First prices were
four to nine points higher and on COW
ering by shorts new high level for
the season was reached, July selling
at As, August 1l.02, September 9.i3.
At the best point of the morning pro-
fit taking became more general and be-
fore midday prices had declined 8 to
% points. With many in the trade
continually feeling for the top this
naturally brought a considerable vol
une of scalping orders in on the short
side. These shorts were completely
routed upon publication Of the regular
weekly report of the weather bureau
which reflected much less favorable
conditions than had been expected. The
violent efforts to cover which followed
this caused another sharp advance and
within ten minutes prices advanced
s to S points.

point to a weakening tendency to the
tone of the trade on the horse market

crowd divided and a rather heavy run
of stock, bidding took a lower turn at

naldncss Due to Indiec.tion.

'rhere seem to be fewer baldheaded
men than there We're years ago. said a
physician. "rime was when four out
of five men more than forty five years
old were badheaded or fast approach
ing that stage. Nowadays the average
has fallen nearer to two than to three.
Whats the cause? | suppose there
are many reasons, but one certainly is
to be found in the general increase or
outdoor exercise. Nervous disorders
result in the falling out of the hair and
impaired digestion brings on nervous
disorders. Exercise, as is well known,
stimulates digestion, and there above
all else is the secret Of preserving the
hair. Keep your digestion in good con-
di'ion and your nerves will not trouble
you. All the scalp diseases in the cata-
logue are not responsible for as many
baldheads as Indigestion"

Jeffries and Corbett Sign Ar
ticles For Fight For Heavy
Weight Championship
JEFFRIEs HIS OWN SPOKESMAN
This Man Was the Most Noteworthy
Feature of the Meeting, Held in New
York = Agree to Give Public What
It Wants, Science, Not a Wrestling
Match-Ausust IA, the Date.

San Francisco, May 19.-In a private
| terday afternoon, Champion jim jeff
| ries and James j. Corbett met and
signed articles for a fight for the
heavyweight championship in San
Francisco, on the night of Aug. IA.
These articles We're prepared in New
York, but there was much discussion
yesterday over the meaning of Queens
berry rules and over the referee. The
feature of the meeting which was most
noteworthy. was that Jeffries did his
own talking for the first time, and he
showed keeness in approaching points
and great shrewdness.
On al! the previous occasions of this
Kind. Billy Blaney has been spokesman
for Jeffries, but though Delaney sat at
Jeffries' right hand, he was seldom
consulted by the champion, who seemed
TO nave clear ideas of what he wanted.
The important points decided on were
that when man clnches the other
man may use his free arm, and that if
both men fail to agree on referee
by July, each shall forfeit $500.
Jeffries looked in splendid trim yes
terday and looked large beside Corbett
whose face seemed trifie drawn. Cor
bett was the shrewder of the two men,
however. and was the aggressor in all
stipulations for the fight Corbett
sounded the keynote of the conferenc.
when he said to Jeffries: We'll, W.
l. bot Il
see a wrestling match; we know you
are bigger and a stronger man; what
the public wants is science, and that we
should give Them"
Jeffres responded promptly: I'm
not going TO make this fight a wrestling
match, and If there is any clinching or
hugging, you will be the one who will
do it,"
Then, after long discussion, 1t was
decided that they should break at the
call of the re 4ree, but when one was
was cincfed he had the right to punch
with his free arm. 1t will therefore de-
vOlve ON the referee to decide who is
the aggressor in clinching.
Corbett scored a decided advantage
by having the twentyfour foot ring
adopted. 1t has been several years
since anything larger than a twenty
or twentytw foot ring has been usei
here. The last heavy weight battle be-
tween Jetfries and Eitz was in a twenty
foot ring and Fitz suffered from it, as
he could not escape punishment.
There is much talk over the referee.
Jeffries denied fatty that he wanted
Siler or any other eastern man. He
said a Californian was good enough for
him. To protect the club and make
sure there would be no quarreling over
the referee, the fighters pledged them
selves to each pay $500 forfeit if they
did not decide on referee by july 25.
1t was decided to have the fight on
percentage proposition, the fighters to
get 70 per cent and the Yosemite Club
80 per cent. OF the 20 per cent, % will
go to the winner and % to the loser.
From all indications yesterday the
fight will be for blood, and though the
men were friendly they showed in the
discussion earnestness to meet and set
tie the point of supremacy.

weather and tho several light showers
have fallen during the week there has
been none that materially injured the
farmers, the two heavy ones early in
the week being needed to break up the
ground which turned up very cloddy
this spring and the warm sun has dried
the fields almost before the farmers
went to work in the mornings. The
week has been dull for the merchants
because of the business of the farmers
who are taking advantage of every
minute for work in the fields which
Is about two weeks behind this year.
