''Tne first time John L. Sullivan
fought" says Jim Corbett twas at
Harry Hills old dance hall in New
York in the winter of 1889. The dance
hall was one of the notorious places
of old Gotham, but Hill always saw
that everybody got square deal.
I'm those days it was young John
ny Sullivan of Boston. Hills stage
manager, Tom Campbell, liked the
New England boy and asked him if
he would take a chance against Steve
Taylor who was then reputed to be
the most scientific boxer in the Unit.
&c States. Sullivan answered in the
affirmative and the battle was arrang.
ed.
"The men met without any of the
preliminary talk and arguments over
rules. Taylor did all the preliminary
talking and dancing around, while
young Johnny stood in the middle of
the ring in a composed manner. The
inability of the clever Taylor to move
the Boston strong boy made him i'd
get around the ring in more nervous
fashion tnan ever. Sidestepping, feint-
ing and shooting out blows failed to
feaze Johnny. The bout had gone
along but a short distance when Sui
livan let drive to one of those blows
that won him so many fights in lat
err years. It landed on the point of
the jaw and Taylor went down and
out for fully five minutes.
"That was the beginning of the ca
reer of Sullivan"
It is not unlikely that next season

Washington, Nov. ga report is

THE production of gold in the
United States during 1904 amounted
to 3,91O.729 fine ounces, valued $780,
635,646. This represents an increase
of $7,243,948 over the production of
1903. The largest previous output, in
1902, amounted to $8O,OOO,00O.
The production of silver in 1904
amounted to 55,999,864 fine ounces,
valued at $32,O35,37S. This presents
an increase of 1,699,S64 ounces over
the production of 1903, and an increase
in value of $2,713,378. The record
output of silver in 1892, amounting to

nor has the commercial value attained
the figures of that year, which amount
Ell to $S2.101, 900.
The principal sources of the increase
In the gold production compared with
that of 1908, the report says, are cas-
lily traceable. Colorado added nearly
$2,OOO,000 to ner production of 1903,
most of this amount coming from the
mines of Cripple Greek. Nevada's
output increased about the same
amount, chiefly by reason of the phe-
nOmenal yields of the Goldfield mines.
The greater progress is reported in
California, whose production exceeds
that of 1903 by $2,3OO,OO0, the increase
being used partly by strong devel-
opment of the quartz mining industry
and to less degree by the activity of
the dredgers. Alaska and Arizona
show increased yields amounting re-
spectively to $476,S93 and $7S4,7O8. A
number of states SHOW smaller in

Washington have less gold to their
credit in 1904 than in 1908.

Obedience a Help.

There is a woman down in Indiana
who is hale and hearty at the age of
100, and when she was asked to what
she. attributed her age and health sic
replied, "Obedience." And this. too,
at time when the women are having
the word "obey" taken out OF the ma
riage service and in other ways mani
testing the most supreme contempt for
the old obligation. 1t is not to be be-
lieved that there are many women wio
will care to drag out an existence OF
100 years in state 0f obedience. even
If fair degree Of health is assured.
The holy scriptures do not tell us how
long the women lived. although We
know that Sarah survived until she
was 1877 and was so o:;edient that the
Lord blessed her with Isaac when she
was 80. ALi it is fair to SUPPOSE that
other good Hebrew wives were equally
, long lived and successful. Thus we
see that obedience is of the utmost
Importance to the human race and is
the source of happiness ard prosper
ity. Still the women Of this age are
extremely stiff-necxed and unreason-
able.

HILL AND HARTMAN INTERESTS
COME TO AN UNDERSTAND.
ING AT LAST.
w. G. Sayles Returns to WaIIa WalIa
From Athena-Surveyors in Clear
water Country Recalled.

1t doesn't take very discerning eve
to see that some sort of an agreement
has been reached between the Hill AMI
Hartman interests regarding territory
in the Northwest. Three weeks ago
o. r. & N. and N. P. surveying outfits
were rushed into the field, but now
for some mysterious reason the edict
has gone forth that work is to be dis
continued for the time being and the
engineers are packing up their kits
and returning home.
w. G. Sayles, who was placed in
charge of Northern Pacific surveying
outfit in the Athena neighborhood re-
turned to Walla Walla last night after
finishing 15mile survey out of
Athena in the direction of the Blue
mountains. Men who were promised
at least seven months work this year
have been discharged and it is now
believed that the contemplated move
of the N. P. into the Wallowa country
has been postponed for time at least.
Mr. Sayles this morning expressed
ignorance as to when the party would
be placed in the field again, if at all.
Word has been received from Lew
iston that the party of o. r. & N. sur
veyors which has been at work in the
Clearwater country has been recalled
to Portland, and it is believed that
the N. P. crews in the same territory
will be laid off within a few days, in
dicating beyond a doubt that some sort
Of an agreement has been reached by
the heads of the two big interests.
Although great secrecy was main
tanned regarding the ultimate destina-
ton of the party of surveyors in
charge of Engineer Sayles, it has leak
ed out from one of the men in the
party that the instructions called for a
survey through the Blue mountains by
the way of the Tanks and Toll Gate
into the Wallowa country. About Is
miles of the proposed route was sur
veyed out when the order came to
discontinue work.
Standardizing Narrow Gauge.
If tacit understanding has been
reached between the Hill and Harri-
man interests about the only railroad
building to be carried on in Walla
Walla county this year will be the
standardizing of the narrow gauge
railway recently acquired by the
Northern Pacific from the Hartman
interests. The work of changing over
the old narrow gauge between Waila
Walla and Dudley is going steadily
ahead and the work will be finished in
time to handle this years wheat crop.
Ties and steel rails are being deliv-
cred along the road. The old branch
line leading to Dixie is being torn up
as the main line of the w. & C. r.
taps the same section Of country which
the old narrow gauge depended upon
for business.
