THE PUGlLISTS.
BIG CHAPS
 ARE WORKING
Both Jeffries and Munroe are Perfecting Them
 selves for Their Little Meeting. :,

San Francisco, Aug 1S.-Jack Nun roe is making a favorable impression upon visitors at the Ocean Beach camp. Yesterday he opened proceed ings in the gymnasium with Kid Nc Coy and liked the pace, the result showing that this was just what he needed to quicken his speed. The sharp raps given by Mccoy have put steam into Munroe's punches, and the sparring partners are sorry that Nc Coy decided to come west Twin Sul- lfvan had a good go with the cham pionship candidate and had his hands full for two rounds. Andy Gallagher had another interview with the straight right.
 Harbin Springs, Gal, Aug 1S.- nasium at 7:3O o'clock yesterday morning. He had four rounds with Brother Jack and Joe Kennedy. Both of the men looked as though they had tackled threshing machine when the champion was through with them. The cut on Joe's head was opened again while Jack Jeffries was bleed- ing The champion is making hur- ricane finish in his training. He was at 1t good and hard for more than two hours. The weather is so hot at the present time that everyone has to keep in the shade until evening. Last night trip was taken to Thompson's place. Jeffries did road work on the way home.
 BRITT FEARS NELSON.
 Jimmy Britt is not eager to box Battling Nelson. He looks the other way when articles are submitted for his consideration, and he is stone deaf when boxing promoters whisper to him of fabulous purses.
 Britt wants nothing to do with Nell son, who is sbad medicine" for any boxer eager to get easy money. Britt can find any number of boxers with a good reputation whom he can beat so why take on a man who will stand blows from a meat axe for fifteen or sixteen rounds, and then wake up and knock his head off before the last bell.
 Britt is not a slugger. Nelson can take an enormous amount of punish ment. and thrive on it. Therefore, what chance has Britt against him! 1t might be said that Britt, fast, clever and full of artifce, might get the de CISlOu AL lu6 GAlu UI IWUhSS AOuA4uSs - " it is improbable. When he has ex- hausted himself stopping Nelson's rushes, that individual would be just beginning to fight, and when he feels that way he Is not to be denied except with a club,
 San Francisco sporting men who have exalted Britt to the position of a pugiligtic idol, advise him to keep clear of Nelson. The articles for re. turn match with Young Corbett act as an excellent excuse for denying the Chicago boxer his chance at the light, weight title.
 A letter from the Coast, received by Bob Fitzsimmons yesterday, says Britt will not box Nelson as long as he can avoid meeting him. Imagine Kid Lavigne or Frank Erne s4destepplng any contender at their weight. They took them all on and were game cham pions. Erne, especially. never feared defeat from sturdy foeman, and when he lost the hampionship he had the respect of every man who follows the sport. We all like fighting champion.

At Hartford.

Hartford, Aug 1S-Hartford de- feated Springfield yesterday afternoon to 2, notwithstanding that Umpire Conway favored the Ponies at every opportunity. There was a crowd of 1,200 people present, but most of the fans lost sight of the points in the game and discussed the horrible exhi- bition of Conway. 1t appears that he roasted the Hartfords in the games at New London the day before and he certainly continued the bad work It was as poor an exhibition of umpfring as has been seen here this season and it was as raw deal as the local pa- irons have had to put up with in seV- eral seasons.
 The Hartfords started in a bad way yesterday and some of the fans were fearful that Springfield would cap ture the game. Joe Connor opened up by hitting to left The ball took a peculiar bound and Connor reached second. A1tizer made two intellectual attempts to bunt and then hit to Da1y. The ball was thrown to Ramon and he muffed it. Harms threw low to first to catch Altizer and the ball got by Ramon. Connor scored and All tiger got to third. Tansey flew out to O'Hare and Altizer came in. Elan agan sent a fly to Henry and O'Con- nor flew out to Ferguson
 These were the only runs made by Springfield. The score:

Bridgeport, Aug IS. = Norwich should have won yesterdays game from the Orators by the score of 3 to Q, but as matter of fact they won by the score of to 3. The reason of the difference between what should have been and the record was that the Orators got present of three runs in the third inning from Snorr- stop Curtis, who after two men were out dropped a little fly from Ladd's bat On the error two men ran in, and hit brought in another a man- ute after.

At New Haven.

New Haven, Aug 1S.-A big crowd of rooters assembled at the Savin Rock baseball grounds yesterday ar- ternoon expecting to see an exciting game between New London and New Haven. The New London team came, but 1t was poor, dilapidaSed lot of men. Harry Moves, the crack .shortstop, had sore finger and tcouldn't play. Hoff, the pitcher, who is also suffering with 8 split finger, was placed at second base. New Ha- ven, with Corcoran in the box, didn't do a thing to the Whalers Why, it won the game by score of 10 to o, and didn't have to work hard, either. Allie Paige was in the box for New London. He had an off day and ev- erything seemed to go wrong. The score:

dentally Portland, by constructing
110-mile section from Shaniko south
to Bend, thus connecting the Column
b1a Southern railway with vastly
rich country.
Another railroad enterprise which
Is immensely aiding Portland is the
recently completed Columbia River &.
Northern railroad. This road. aItho in
the state Of Washington, makes the
country on the north bank of the Co
lumbia and Klickitat country tribu-
tary to Portland
The electric railway line of the
Oregon Water Power and Railway
company is another factor. This line
opens up to Portland the fine farming
country Of Clackamas county-the
road running twenty-seven miles from
Portland to Cazadero. Another cleo.
trio road west to Hillsboro, which ia
planned, will bring Portland into clos
p
portant territory.
Besides the railroad interests which
are aiding Portland, the openine I'M
Of the almost boundless country south
east of Portland by irrigation will do
much for this city.
AS further evidence of Portland's
vast possibilities, it may only be
necessary to state that the great min
ing district of st. Helens is only few
miles away. This is now composed Of
about twenty-five camps, which will
soon commence pouring immense
wealth into Portland.
The last point in connection with
Portland's possibility, but not at all
the least, is the immigra ton. The
words Of Bishop Observation-Disclosures

are fully exemplified in the constant
stream of people who are vending
their way, towards Portland.

During the year 1903 the bank
clearings amounted to $175, 854,5
an increase OF over $21. 900, 900 owe,
1902; nearly ;54,ooo,ooo over 1901
and ,$70,00O,0oo over 1900. During
the same time the output Of Portland's
factories amounted to $49.437,000, ar
increase Of $2s,451,1s2 over 1900.
The total amount Of business trans
acted in the Portland postoffice in
1903 was $6,060,247.52. an increase Of
over 80 per cent over 1902. Some
1,611 building permits were issued the
past year. These amounted to $685..
795. OF these permits sixty were 70,
brick and stone buildings valued a,
nearly $4,000. 0o0. Last. but not least
the total cost Of street improvements
in 1903 was nearly 100000. This in.
cluded the laying Of over twenty.
three miles Of pavement and sixty.
eight miles Of sidewalk, but does moi
include the improvements now under
way. These will probably amount tc
another half million dollars. The
street railway system was also i'm.
proved by the laying of flfty-four and
one-half miles Of tracks, making q
total of 163h miles Of street railway
Lewis and Clark Fair.
First and foremost the fact that the
great Lewis and Clark fair will be
held here in 1906 is in itself sufficient
to buoy up the hopes of Portland's
merchants. About 100000 Of the
capital stock of the fair was raised
by popular subscription within two
days Of it's inception.

alton the coasting trade, which amounted
to 61.246, 900 feet.
Wheat Shipments, Bank Clearings.
Another item to be taken into ac-
count in determining Portland's COM
mercial importance is wheat. During
the year just ended over 10000. 900
bushels of wheat (fiour. included)
were exported from Portland. This
includes nearly 7,0O0,O0O bushels ex-
ported to the orient and 1900, 900
bushels sent to California. This, in
face of the fact that there was a light
crop last year, also that the greater
part of the crop was moved by Jan. /.
To give a better idea Of Portland s
shipments in this commodity, it suf-
fees to compare Portland's exports
with those of other Pacific coast sea-
ports. Portland, 6,7ss,2ss bushels;
Seattle and Tacoma, 4,42s, $50 bushels;
San Francisco, 3,o2s,4o8 bushels.

Heavy Lumber Cut.
During 1903 Portland mills cut more
lumber than ever before, besides maxi
ing record-breaking shipments by wa
ter. The cut of a little more than a
million feet of lumber a day-which
Is the Portland average-is assuredly
a record to be proud of, for it means
an approximate daily revenue of over
81, 00o,o 900. AS to Portland's export
lumber trade, it. is sufficient to give
the following figures for 1908:
To the Orient, 4e,s47,s75 feet, valued at
$647,s55; to Africa, 7,s2s,145 feet, valued at
$107.309; to South America, 6,0s6,97s feet,
