COLORED Weller WEIGHTS WANT
MORE TIME IN WHICH TO TRAIN
Bout Scheduled for Tonight Has Been Postponed
Until Wednesday

The postponement Of the bout will
be satisfactory to those who intended
seeing it, There are several other at
fractions in the city tonight, and as
nothing has been scheduled for We'd
nesday night it is believed that the
postponement will be wise thing for
the financial end of the show.
Blood has gone 10 work in earnest
and has half a score of training part
ners. He has the gloves two hours
every day, and does good deal of
work on the road. He says he will
take off three or four pounds before
Wednesday and hopes TO enter the
ring in better condition than he has.

time in which to train, and have ask

CRANE THINKS AMES
WILL BE NATIONAL STAR.

Warner Says He Is the Best Pitcher
That the Giants Have.
Sam Crane, writing from Birming-
ham, expresses the opinion that Leon
Ames, the new pitcher signed by Nc
Graw, will be the star of the National
League during the coming season.
Ames was late in arriving in Savan-
nah, and local fans did not have an
opportunity of seeing him work, al
though we was out in uniform the day
before the team left Savannah. Ames
is said to possess a world of speed
with curves that few youngsters have
been able to master. Warner, the vet
eran catcher on the Giants, says that
Ames is the best man that the Giants
have in the box.

Despite the bid of the University of

NEW TRACK RECORD
Made by NamtOr, a Lame Horse, at
Ascot Park.

The good horse Namtor won his race
few days ago at Ascot Park in as
sensational a stretch run as can be
imagined.
At the head of the stretch he was
in last position, with Rag Tag, Stray

him.
Boland swung into the straight on

Few persons realize how much
bigger and stronger the United
States navy is now than it was at
the time of the war with Spain.
Everybody knows what the navy
did in that war-how it swept the
fleets Of Spain from the seas and as
tonlshed the carping European
critics. Today the American navy
is three times &c big and three times
as strong as 1t was then, besides
being immeasurably better in other
respects. And yet only a begiD>

program which must be carried but
to enable the United States to Keep
what il has got and maintain Its

No Show For Wooley.

A special TO the Capital News
from Washington sas s:
Senator Hepburn, who all along
appeared to be confident that he
would secure the nomination of Mr.
Wooley to be assayer at Boise, it Is
evident only kept up surface con-
fidence. 1t was known 10 the inu-
mate friends of Senator IIevburn
some time ago, that he was losing
heart; in fact, had lost heart in this
matter. What was told the readers
of the Capital News six weeks or
more ago is not now only apparent
to Senator Hepburn but is admitted
by his most intimate friends. He
now knows that the secretary of the
treasury, the assistant secretary,
and the solicitor of the treasury, ali
all prejudiced against Mr.. Wooley,
and that they do not believe his
story in any essential particular.
Morever, they have sent agents back
over the trail. for the purpose Of
demonstrating that his statements il
defense Of his position and IN expla-
nation of some important matters
are without foundation. The treas
urY officials are making dlligent eff
fort to make the case appear worse
than it has appeared in the past.
The report of the latest special agent
was strongly against Mr.. Wooley.

delivered speech In Portland the
other day before the National Wool
Growers Association Among
other Things he said:
Still the greatest danger that
can see to the continued welfare of
the live stock owner and rancher in
the state of Idaho looming up in the
near future is ssthe forest reserve
theorist" | call him a theorlst be-
cause | claim he is unfamiliar with
the conditions as they exist the year
around.
He mentions the ssstock owner
and rancher." He ought to have
said the sheepowner. You don't
find cattlemen or ranchers kicking
over the forest reserves. Cattle can
range there, but not sheep without
permit. From range point of
view, the cattlemen and ranchers
welcome the forest reserves, because
it gives them chance to stay on
the earth, while on the open range
the sheep force them out of exis-
tence.
Again he says:
Section of country. His fore

falls to the ground.
Here is another of his teclaims:"
| claim that the opinions Of men
who have blazed the trails through
this western country, faced every
danger and are thoroughly familiar
with the conditions by their long
residence, men who are granted
homesteads, pre-emption, desert and
timber rights, together with the
free and unrestricted use of the
public domain, in fact anything to

to judge by actual experience and
observation what is best suited to
the continued prosperity of the peo-
pie than those who have only had
the courage to follow the old pio-
neers and dictate to them what is
for their best interests.
Yes, you are right Mac. And the
opinions of all these are to the effect
that the forest reserves, as regards
range, are alright, and that the great
majority of forest fires are started
by sheepherders. And further, that
the majority of sheep owners are no
respectors of the rights of other
stockraisers or ranchers, and that
the latter have been compelled, for
self protection, to invoke two-Inile
limit law, to welcome forest reserves,
and to cuss the sheepherder for his
destructlveness.
Again it Is claimed that to the

ucIucE. iA1S camp rs ulS uOnOS HIS
bed and provisions for his actual
existence are there. In fact, he
breads fire and is a great deal more
calefal to see that it is extinguished
than are hunters and prospectors,
who rarely camp more than one
night IN place and then move ON.
In fact, l contend that the sheep in
the forest and high mountain ranges
are protection against fire, as they
eat the grass and weeds and trample
down the fallen twigs o tt a there
is not SO much dry stuff to burn.
We don't know how it is in Johns
country, but in Bear Lake three
fourths of the fires in the timber are
believed to be directly .due to sheep
herders. The reason is, that sheep
lose much wool In the underbrush,
besides it is more work to herd
them, and where this brush is burn
ed out a growth of grass and weeds
comes up, thus making more feed
than before while the lose of wool
with less work, from brush is abat-
ed. The process though kills the
timber. While 1t is a benefit to the
sheep grazer, it is detriment to
the country generally. Hence the
fires. Usually the fire is started
about the time the herderls ready to
quit that particular.
And he winds up by saying:
Let the land laws of the country
remain as they are, allowing every
citizen equal rights upon the public
domain, the development OF the
country by irrigation and the con
tinued prosperity of the live stock
owner and farmer are assured, as
the two industries are dependent
upon each other and interference
with the existing conditions of the
former means the ruinatlon of the
latter.
That's what the cattleman and
farmer want is equal rights. But
these rights can never be equal as
long as bunch of sheep under the
personal care of herder, are al.
lowed to go upon the range and
compete with the stock that are al
lowed to roam with no herder or
protector.
The industry of farming sud that
of sheep raising are no more de
pendent on each other than is the
United States on Borneo for it's ex
istence. In fact they are opposed,
and bitterly SO, and the free and
untrammelled herding of sheep on
the ranges would mean the deatt
knell to all cattle ralsers and ranch.

Wyoming.
No, John, your howl is loud and
long, but it won't result in tht
whole state being run for th,
especial benefit of your class Of

TIPS FOR coRTELYoU.

He Can Catch a Big String of Trusts
If He Will Fish In Earnest.
Secretary Cortelyou is at the head Of
the new department of commerce,
whose bureau of industries has been
trying SO hard for whole year to find
a bad trust. If such a trust is found
the life is to be frightened out of it by
publishing the facts in regard to its
crookedneSs.
Although Mr. Cortelyou has frequent
" been told where to fish it he wants
to catch big string of trusts, yet
there is no evidence that he has as yet
got a nibble. His patience must be
nearly exhausted. The trade and corr
mercial papers and journals are filled
with information about old and new
trusts, many of which are of the most
obnoxious type.
The Iron Age of Feb is filled with
such information. Thus, the manufac-
turers of axes have just formed Il new
trust, which at one jump advanced the
prices of axes 81 dozen. The hatchct
manufacturers have behaved in I; sim
liar way. ''Their organization,' says
the Iron Age, sis strong one, regulat.

general features resembles the Shovel

when they put up prices from 25 to 100
per cent, are most obnoxious to farm.

be ferreted out and held up to public

them ashamed Of themselves and cause
them to mend their wicked ways, per-
haps it will occur to some bright men.

From these figures we see that the
American File association, which has
not revised its price list to American
buyers since Nov. 1, 1899, is charging
us for most kinds Of its small files
more than twice as much as 1T charges
Englishmen for these same files, and
for half round files we must pay three
times the price charged Englishmen.
With our big trusts selling all kinds
Of steel and tools to foreigners at one
half or one-third the prices charged
Americans is it any wonder that our
small manufacturers cannot compete
with the foreign manufacturers? 1t is
only q question Of time. and not a long
time either, when our small manufac-
turers, squeezed by our great and
