This is an evidence of the hustling
spirit, the constant procuring of
publicity--of advertising, if you will
the sticking TO it and keeping-ever-
lastingly-at-it which animates the
people of the far West. 1t will be
noticed that Redlands is a place of
but 10000 population-not so big
as Bridgeton.
These envelopes are doubtless sent
out by every professional man, every
business man and pretty much every
body else in the place. They go to
all parts of the world, carrying their
bwn good words for Redlands.
And look at the improvements

Bridgeton needs more of the same

THE FABLE
 IS REVIVED
Killing the Goose that Laid the Golden Egg in San Francisco..0' Brien Jumps at the Pig Purse.

San Francisco, Jan 27.-Willam Greer Harrison president of the Olym- pic club, made it clear to the San Fran cisco board of supervisors that they lave been licensing prize fighting right and left, in spite of the fact that the ordinances read that but one profess siOnal boxing match q month is to be permitted in this city.
 After the states foremost champion of sport for sports sake had delivered his address and shown that the so called amateur" bouts which have been per s1stently tolerated were out and out fights for coin, the city daddies granted Al Young a license to conduct an "am. ateur' boxing exhibition last night < MT Harrison was asked by the police committee of the supervisors to throw some light upon the situation and he showed ill short order that all the "am- ateur" fighting that has been going on here has been in direct violation of the rules governing the amateur branch of the Queensberry game and that all the four-round bouts that are battled here three and four times q month are for gold and not for glory.
 Before the Hawthorne club was al lowed q permit Manager Al Young was warned not to give money prizes, but to allow the boxers n adals only.

JIM CORBETT TALKS.

Jim Corbett has been interviewed in Kansas City, where he is playing a theatrical engagement this week. He is quoted as saying: Il have hanker- ing to try about three more bouts. Wouldn't care how I come out-vic- torious or whpped--l'd quit then. There's just one chance left for me to Te-enter the ring. When boxing again opens up in New York think I will be asked to meet Jeffries. No one seems to be doing anything with him and none have done better with him than I did--so I think I would be asked to meet him. If the game opens up again ill New York, and I am asked to meet Jetfries, I'll do so. After that l want another try with Fitzsimmons, and after Fitzsimmons want to meet Jack O'Brien. just want to meet those three and quit, and New Works s the only place will ever meet any sr them. Of course, if l ever get a chance to meet Jeffries. Fitzsimmons and Jack O'Brien in New York I will then return to the stage. I don't care Il rap how those prospective fighrs come outfits just to get the game off my hands-and then back 10 the stage for Jim Corbett.'
