JEFFRIES AND DELANEY
GET THE RETIRING HABIT
Champion and Veteran Trainer
VIII Get Out of the Game, Ac-
cording to the Latter.
BOILERMAKER NOW HAPPY

SAN FRANCISCO, April 17.-Big Jim
Jeffries, high in flesh and high in spirits. is
back among his California cronies once
more. He is enjoying life and giving him
self up to the pleasures of the hour. He is
the star guest of many an auto party TO the
beach region, and he is having a good old
time generally prior TO his departure TO
Hardin Springs to begin course or prepa-
ration for his championship fight with Jack
Munroe.
Jeffres says he will train faithfully
for the match with the miner as he did for
his previous engagements in the ring. Tn
doubtedly he will. 1t has been amply
proved that the best kind of training for
Jeffries is a sojourn in the mountains.
where he can hunt and fish and throw his
leg across a broncho now and again. lie
loves that kind of thing. and would rather
camp on bears trail than take in a high
class vaudeville show. OF course. he will
train as faithfully as ever. why shouldn't
he when life in the big game country is to
him perpetual delight?
Jeffries will use the gymnasium at Hardin
sometimes. With him. however. boxing and
puley-hauling have always been more or
less bore than a pleasure. 1t is safe TO
say that no set form of indoor work will
be followed, and that whenever hunt or
an outing of any kind be substituted
the routine exercises will have to suffer. IL
was so when he trained for Jim Corbett.
and it will be this time. Yet Jeffriess
threat that he will train as faithfully as
ever is made in good faith. and will be car
ried out. Billy Delaney is looking forward
to the retirement of Jeffries. Delaney thinks
the world of the big fellow. and is now all
enamored of the rollicking. happy go-lucky
existence jeff leads between fights. In De-
laney's opinion, Jeffries's worst fault Is his
Discrimination to say No when invited 10
take whirl along the primrose path
All of this the writer gathers from
source that is thoroughly reliable. Delaney
is keeping in view that Jeffries is now IN his
thirtieth year. The veteran trainer has seen
many world beaters whose physical powers
were affected by careless living suffer DE-
feat by younger if not huskier men, and he
is determined that such shall not be Jei-
frieS'S portion If he can prevent II.
out of the business within a year. said
Delaney.
But If there are no opponents for him
within a year?' was asked.
Wen get out of the business anyway,
was Delaneys rejoinder
Billy added: And I'll go with him. I've
had my share of the hard work and the eK-
element. and ] find / don't stand II as Wen
as / did few years ago. When ~
through with Jeffries 1 wouldn't take hoia
of aonther fighter under any consideration.
This seems to suggest that when retiring
| time comes around the game will lose "A
| cracker-jack fighter and a famous conoi-
| toner and manager at one fell swoop.
| and managers we know have made as many
| farewell appearances as a certain cele,
! brated diva. and IL may be that Jeffries ana
Delaney are built Of equally malleable clay.

To Build Electric Road.

Judge E. O. Potter, of Eugene,
and w. J. Wilsey, of Prescott,
Arizona, appeared before the
county court yesterday after
noon asking for a franchise to
build an electric road between
Corvallis aud the south end of
the county along the state road.
The object is to connect Eugene
and Corvallis. The road will
run through Monroe, Junction
and Irving, distance of about
40 miles. 1t is not decided yet
what shall be done but the mat
ter is under advisement by the
court until next Wednesday
when answer will be made.
Three years ago a similar request
was sought but not granted be-
cause of objections raised by
farmers along the way that the
cars would frighten their horses.
A road of this kind will work
wonders with the southern end
of Benton county and supply the
great need of the farmers for
rapid transit and transportation
The Southern Pacifc company
will probably not extend its line
farther south so a traction line
between here and Eugene will
close a very important gap. The
plea once offered that the cars
are dangerous to horses is true III
a measure, but no more accidents
occur than on railways, besides
this experience with similar lines
III the East point to the fact that
horses very quickly get accus-
toned to the cars aud are more
useful in the end.
A strong delegation from Mon
roe headed by Adam Wilhelm,
Sr., also appeared before the
court with a view to pushing the
enterprise along.
Eugene is the center of opera
tions. A company has been in
corporated for 81, 900, 900 by Con.

zona, a big mineowner, M. S.

is for demand that will make a
good total average. The best
commercial reports come from
the West and the Southwest, or
from the very regions whe1e the
greatest disturbance to business
might be expected to exist. For
instance Kansas City takes a
hopeful view of the situation.
A week of ideal harvesting
weather has changed the whole
aspect of things and merchants
are reflling orders that had been
cancelled on account of the foods.
In spite of the packers stril e
Chicago has had a week of
marked improvement especially
in clothing, shoes, dry goods,
and mems and women's furnish
ings. Interior merchants have
shown more Willingness to order
than for some time. Stocks OF
light weight goods have been
much reduced. Jobbers and
manufacturers of hardware report
as large a volume of trade as in
1903, and some Of them, in fact,
have had increased receipts over
last year. Collections are salts
factory.
With the prospect of average
cereal crops and an early cotton
crop of bumper size, the South
west is beginning to discount
some of the expected enrichment
Of that part of the country. Sales
men from St. Louis have had a
better trade than a year ago.
Joboers are satisfied with re-
turns, which they find exceed
those of recent similar seasons.
One significant fact is the de-
mand for better quality of goods.
This is noticeable in clothing
and shoes. In hats and caps
the orders are far in excess OF last
year. Prompt collections are be-
ing made. In Louisville some OF
the leading hardware houses have
had larger sales than for a num-
Der of years. Bank clearings
there were nearly 81, 900, 900 in
excess of the week previous.
Some skepticlsm is shown over
the reported improvement in the
iron trade. The reopening OF
the Homestead mills was surely
an indication that demand had
increased, though it is believed
that these plants will close down
again as soon as certain rush
orders are filled. The leading
Eastern trade journal says,
"there is in nearly all quarters a
kindly disposition to help an i'm
provement in the iron trade along
with cheerful talk" This is a
symptom to be encouraged.

Trade and Business Conditions,

Reports received at New York
ap to July ~ from special agents
of the International Mercantile
Agency at the leading centres of
accumulation and distribution in
the country show very little
change in conditions from those
previously stated. Actual trade
Is dull, a normal situation for
shis season of the year. The out
5oa41 for fall and winter business
is better in some sections, notably
IN the South and the Southwest,
shan it has been for long while.
>Calrner Judgment than obtained
M the beginning has reduced the
estimates of loss by food to 3o,-
ooo, 900 bushels of winter wheat
1or the four states most affected.
Ca2e reliable trade journal has
issued a bulletin which points to
. yield of this cereal of 6Io, 1000, =
300, and an exportable surplus of
nearly $I45, ,ooc,o 900 bushels.
These are facts that have helped
10 disioiec some of the discour-
sging sentiments of the recent
past.
The strike of the packing
house employees assumed larger
ptor tions th@n were first be-
lteped possible. However, there
has been 10 suffering from the
advance in the price of meats. 1t
has always been believed that
eventually that eventually there
would be a peaceful settlement by
arbitration and that the distur-
, tbance would pass away as quick
" as it developed. Probably a
more important matter is the
threatening attitude of the Fall
River operatives to the reduction
NJ I2M per cent. in wages which
becomes operative next Monday.
This may spread throughout
New England and unsettle bust
ness IN that section. "A st1lke
seems to be imminent, as the
workers i'll the cotton mills are
onv'.lline to accept the proposed
yov7erlnG Of their wage schedule.
The claim OF The operatives IS,
ihat the action of the manufac-
surers IS not a remedy for the
present unsatisfactory conditions,
5,,> merely All opportunity for re-
5aclng operating costs. The
