The Main Bout.

Inc main event was not called until
after 10 O'Clock, but as plenty Of
amusement had been furnished the
crowd there We're no complaints. Mul-
Ter was the first to enter the ring and
looked heavy and fat. He was sec
onded by Babe" Brown. Kid" Park
er ana Jack Welsch. Rogers showed
up few minutes later and crawling
through the ropes walked over to Null
Ter and shook hands with him. The
gloves were soon adjusted and Referee
Bogart announced the conditions of
the match, ten-rounds to a decision.
AS the men stepped out of their
corners for the first round the differ
ence in weight and build was plainly
apparent. Muller looked as big as a
heavyweight While Rogers thin frame
looked even thinner by the contrast
They both exchanged lefts and went to
a cllnch. Rogers smiled and dashing
in landed straight left Muller swung
a vicious right but missed and they
clinched again. The balance of the
round was a serious of exchanges and
clinches.
The second round opened with a
clinch and the referee was kept busy
separating the men. They would both
dash in and then lock arms. Muller
kept landing in the clinches until
warned and then both men boxed COM
paratively clean
In the fifth Muller rushed but Rogers
danced away and allowed him to pitch
through the ropes into the audience
Rogers helped him back into the ring
and they went at it again. Neither
man could gain an advantage until the
eighth, when Rogers, by series of up
per cuts and straight lefts succeeded in
forging ahead. He kept up the same
tactics during the ninth and tenth
rounds and had Muller worried.
Referee Bogart did not render his
decision for some seconds and in the
meantime a great cry of Rogers,
Rogers" went up, but Bogart shook
his head and said the men were so
evenly matched that he did not feel
justified in giving either man the fight
and would declare it draw.

PLENTY OF CLEAN SPORT
MULLER AND ROGERS GO TEN
ROUNDS RESULTING IN A
DRAW.
Battle Royal Furnished Amusement for
Large Crowd at WaIIa WaIIa
Athletic Club.

Jolly Rogers of Spokane proved
himself a fast, clever boxer by getting
a shade the better of Fred Muller of
Astoria in their ten-round go at the
Walla Walla Athletic club last night
although Referee William Bogart Of
PendletOn, could not satisfy himself as
to the winner and ended by declaring
the contest a draw. Rogers showed
himself the shiftier fighter and sue
ceeded in landing the greater number
of clean blows, although they lacked
the steam of those that Muller launch
ed at his dusky opponent.
Referee Dogart was kept busy sepa-
rating the men and the frequent
clinches was the only thing to mar
what was the best contest yet pulled
off under the auspices of the club
Manager Kings announcement that he
would give good show went unchal-
lenged and the 200 sports present left
the club rooms we'll satisfied with the
nights sport.
Battle Royal.
The battle royal between five cOlOred
heaVyweights proved one of the big
gest things yet and the crowd went
wild at the efforts of the contestants to
knock out anybody that happened
along. Two men went down and out
in short shift narrowing the contest
down to three men. These furnished no
end of hilarty until there was no one
left but a big husky soldier, who strut
ted from the ring the winner of SIS
purse.

What Il II Accomplishing For Aoad
Improvement. -
In q recent bulletin reviewing the
work of road improvement In New
York state State Engineer Bond says:
The legislature appropriated $4,000
for road improvement this year; and
In the three years In which road I'M
provement work has been in progress
20 roads, having total mileage OF 40
miles, have been improved at a cost OF
1857, 600; that 80 roads, having a mile
age Of 122 miles, are now undergoing
improvement at q cost Of $773,730;
that funds have been awarded, for the
Improvement Of 8 roads having mile
age of Z miles at q cost Of 900, and
that plans have been approved BY
boards Of supervisors Of IL counties
for the Improvement Of Al roads, hav-
ing a mileage Of 134 miles, which
would impose an expense upon the
state and the counties, II adopted, OF
H.o91 .443.'
When all the roads already improv-
ed, those under improvement and
those whose improvement is suggested
have been improved, ,106 will have
been constructed In % counties, coV-
ering 80 miles, at a cost OF $2,2S9,-
874.35, Of which the state will have paid
one-half and the counties one-half. ,

GOOD ROADS DEPARTMENT.

Commerce and Transportation NAY
Have Place In, Cabinet.
Good road enthusiasts are confident
that the bill providing for the creation
of a new government department VILE
be passed at the coming session OF con,
gress. The measure, as proposed and
as it will be backed by the good ROADS
people, provides for the establishment
of a department Of commerce and
transportation or commerce and public
works. It Is intended to establish un-
der it's direction a bureau Of good
roads. At present the bureau Of public
road inquiries is under the department
of agriculture. It Is also the intention
to place bureaus now under the direc-
ton Of the interior and treasury de-
partments under the proposed depart
ment Of commerce. President Moore
Of the National Good Roads associa-
ton recently said:
II have talked with q great many
members Of congress this summer,
with the result that am confident the
new department will be created at the
next session. Every senator and repre-
sentative have seen favors it.
Heretofore the politicians have not
understood the situation, but now they
are getting their eyes opened. The
people are also beginning to see some
thing must be done toward building
permanent good roads. Our mission is
to educate, and in establishing this de-
partment and making a liberal appro-
priation for it the government will also
be educating. No one expects the gov
ernment to build the roads, Such q
proposition would be foolish. The gov
ernment can, however, build sample
roads and thereby let the people know
what the advantages are. The states
must build the roads.
'1The railroads are interested In q
movement for good roads because they
realize good roads are essential to their
interests. At present shipments prac-
tically stop in large part Of the coun-
try for five months every year because
the farmers cannot get to the railroad
stations. The result Is the railroad
companies must try to have cars enough
10 carry the business when the farmers
can get to the stations. This compefs
them to keep large numbers Of cars
idle much Of the time, and as they
don't want to maintain any more roll
Ing stock than is absolutely necessary
they are usually short Of cars when the
rush comes. With good roads all over
the country the traffic would be dis
tributed through twelve months Of the
year. This Is the reason the railroads
want good roads," ... -. .'''

ROAD PROGRESS IN OHIO.

Improvement Does Et. Keep Pace
with tho Demand of tt Times.
Ohio has by no means Kept pace In
the matter Of roadbuilding throughout
the country districts either with the
progress made In steam railways or In
the improvement Of city streets, where
within the past twenty-five years the
old macadam and bowlder thorough
fares have given way almost entirely
to the more perfect and lasting granite,
brick and asphalt, says the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune.
It is true there is In this state law
which enables the townships through
out Ohio to improve their road system.
known as the free turnpike law, and It
has done wonders for the common
roads Of the state during the twenty
FIVE years or more that 1t has been IN
force. Perhaps few other states have
similar laws, but they are not general.
The ordinary country roads throughout
the country generally are, as they have
always been, things to avoid In the sea-
SON of freezing and thawtng, during
which they are usually impossible.

Road Progress In Tennessee.


Judging from the enthusiasm which
attended the recent annual meeting Of
the Tennessee Good Roads association,
much work In the improvement OF
highways will be accomplished in that
state next y, II. The INVENTION was
not content with academic discussions
Of the advantages Of good roads, the
best material for roadways and the
like, but took practical steps toward
realization Of the ideals. To secure
united action throughout the state and
10 build up an organization which
would be strong enough to demand leg
islation each county court was urged
to send three delegates to each annual
meeting Of the State Roads association.
It was decided also to ask the legtsla-
ture for the appointment Of state en-
gineer to consult with county super
intendents in the matter Of roads and
BRIDGES and for legislation which would
permit the employment Of Jail inmates
In roadmakinS.
