MAcADAM STREETS.

The movement now on in this city to
secure macadam streets should be en-
cOuTagcd.
Many Of the best residence parts of
Chicago, san Francisco and Berkeley are
built of Broken rock.
These cities use variety of limo
stone, build the streets narrow and put
in good curbs and cutters.
The streets Of Salem are too wide to
ever get good results from any kind of
pavement that has TO be kept clean.
Tho objection to macadam streets is
that il is not easily cleaned, But this
is overcome by the fact that our traffic
Is light.
Well constructed maeadam streets
would be kept quite clean in winter by
rain and in summer sprinkling.
There is plenty Of good material for
the construction Of macadam streets,

Fighting Game Is About Fin.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April 22.-It

suit the fighters will lose many of the gold
en- plunls which ought otherwise come to
their Golfers.
They have been getting 90 per cent of
the gross receipts, but now they ask for
90 to Go per cent. When It is remembered
that the promoters have to pay all the ex-
penses Of advertising, rent of building,
transportation and n hundred other ex-
penseS that the public or the boxer never
hear or, there is little left of their share
that can be called profit.

that during 1903 he was several thousand

The failure Of Moifaa to make good Is
still the subject Of discussion in training

Some take exceptions to his not having
done an orthodox preparation. but be this
as IL may. he showed a satisfactory
amount of muscle. What, then, can be the
explanation of Moifaa's poor running
many are inquiring. When successful last

of himself. Is he a freak of nature, doing
his best only when he seems to be the
least physically capable Of great things?
