TURKEY PRICES
R00ST HIGH
Short Crop and Heavy Demand
for the Thanksgiving Bird
Advances Prices

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 21.--With the ap-
proach of Thanksgiving week, dealers
in poultry are specializing on the price
of turkeys.
No matter how poor. the American
wage-earner happens to be and ire
spective of prices, he must have tur-
key on Thanksgiving.
The present indications are that the
price will be high, though not extreme,
probably in the neighborhood of IS
cents a pound. 1t was generally be-
lieved in poultry circles that farmers
would give more attention to turkeys
this year than ever before on account
of the sure profit, but the uncertainty
of raising the birds has kept them from
making the attempt. Reports from the
west and southwest say the crop is
less than last year. In northern In
diana and Illinois, where the greatest
numbers are grown, there is a shortage
this year of 25 per cent. New York,
Pennsylvania and Maryland crops also
show decrease.

prepared for the various churches
throughout the city and apart from
these services the committees for the
relief of the poor make great provisions
for these unfortunates who have no
means of getting good Thanksgiving
dinner Besides the churches there are
the feasts given the poor by the Saliva

society and other philanthropic insti-
buttons, and then private wealthy in

poor families with Thanksgiving bask-
cts. This year on account of the scar
city and increased price of turkeys, a
great many chickens and ducks will be
used instead. Cranberries are on
sympathetic strike with the turkeys
and it will take fifteen cents to buy
quart of them here. The price is

this time.

IN YELLOWSTONE PARK
The Game There is Doing We'll And
: Increasing

Major John Pitchers report on yell
lowstone park is devoted largely to the
condition of the game in that preserve.
He recommends that provision be made
for feeding game in the park in the
winter. The danger of loss by starva-
ton, ne says is increasing yearly, ow-
ing to the fact that the country around
the park is settling up, thus limiting
the range. He thinks it would not be a
difficult matter to feed the antelope
and sheep as their winter range is close
to Fort yellowstone.
He places the number of antelope in
the park at about 1000. The mountain
sheep have increased considerably in
number the past year, and there are
now over 100 in the park The bear
seems to be about as numerous as a
year ago. They have done no harm to
any one during the past season. The
deer seem to be increasing more rap
idly than any other game in the park,
at least they are becoming tanner and
more fearless than any other species.
The new buffalo herd, which is under
the immediate charge of c. J.-Jones, is
doing exceedingly well, but the in
crease in the herd this year was not
as great as was hoped for.
Major Pitcher says it is of the great
est Importance that the. boundary lines
of the park. in addition to being sur
veyed, should be so thoroughly marked
as to render it impossible for any one
to cross the line without knowing that
he has entered the reservation.

Four Days Yet Till the Big Fight for the Light
Heavy Weight Championship of
the World

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. eli
With the battle between Robert Fitz-
simmons and George Gardner for the
light heavy weight championship of
the world but four days off the public
interest in the event has reached a high
hitch. The bout is the subject of con-
: versation in all places where sporting
men are wont to congregate and from
all appearances the contest is due to
receive as much attention as ever did
a championship fight pulled off in this
city The popular interest may be
ascribed in large measure to the pre-
vailing belief that the fight will be an
even one and certainly interesting from
a scientific standpoint
Fitzsimmons continues to be slight
favorite over Gardner in the betting
that is being done on the result The
former champion continues hard at
work at his training quarters and those
who have seen him box have been so
impressed that they are willing to back
him to carry off the honors.
While Fitzsimmons is working like a
Trojan, Gardner is by no means neg
lecting to put himself in the best con-
dition to defend the title of light
heavy weight chambion, which he won
from Jack Root at Fort Erie last July.
The Lowell boxer realizes that Fitz-
simmons is one of the most dangerous
fighters in the ring today, but Gardner
is nevertheless confident and believes
he will be returned the winner.

Fitzsimmons, Gardner is by no means
lacking for admirers. There are many
who believe that Gardner has a good
chance of defeating the 'Cornishman
and they are taking the short end.
Gardner is many years younger than
Fitzsimmons and is just now in his
prime. This is a big advantage but
the Fitzsimmons followers argue that
the former champions great furnishing
qualities will more than offset the ad-
vantage of age.\

legislature meets. According to the
rumor the increase in Manhattan and
Brooklyn will be to $4,000. Not the
Brooklyn license is 1915, while that of
Manhattan is $1,000. The reason for
the expected increase is the heavy
vote polled in favor of improving the
claims All up state people voted no
on the canal proposition, not caring
to bear any of the expense entailed.
AS soon as they learned that the prop
osition had been endorsed, they de-
manded that they be exempted from
taxation. The only way by which this
can be done is to make the saloon
keeper pay higher fee for his license

San Francisco, Oct. 22.-The steam
'er Spokane brought to this port last
evening four survivors of the wrecked
steamer South Portland who were
picked up Tuesday about fifteen miles
south OF Cape Blaneo and twelve
miles off shore. They were found
clinging to a rude rat and were all

names are III. W. Ravens, second off.
Ger; Charles B. Lomberg, F. johnson
and Ole Gunderson, seamen.
The list of missing as previously
printed does not contain the names Of
the above. This omission is probably
due to the fact that just before sailing
some substitutions in the crew were
made.
Eight other men who were on the
raft with the above survivors when it
left the South Portland succumbed and
sank as their frail support was cast
about by the waves. Their names are
not known by these who were saved.
