AUTOMOBILES ARE POPULAR.
Splendid Roads In North Dakota
Makes Autos the Most Econe.
mical Way Of Travelling.

In most parts of the country the
automobile is regarded as a plaything
for the rich. In North Dakota it is
necessity for the business man and
even tho farmer. The commercial
traveller uses 1t in his trips from town
to town over the smooth prairie roads
Of the state; the real estate man has
machine or two to take his land
seekers to see the best soil on earth;
the banker and the business man find
the auto a necessity to look after their
real estate interests; and the farmer
finds 1t profitable to have bubble"
in order to get around faster than he
otherwise could.
The roads of the state are ideal for
these improved machines, and there is
pleasure and health in their use here,
as we'll as economy. 1t is evident that
the automobile is here to stay. and
nothing but the best makes and latest
patterns satisfies the purchasers.
The sales OF autos have been very
large In North Dakota the past season
and the prospects are that the number
will be greatly increased the coming
year. There are towns Of 1900 people
In this state where twenty. thirty and
even fifty automobiles are owned, and
the men who have them are enthus-
iastic over the advantages possessed by
this means OF travel. The auto has
, evidently come to stay In North Da.

DANE AND GOVERNOR MEET.
Battling Nelson Wants to Take q Hand
In Presidential Contest.


st. Paul. Mimi. Jec. Gov John
y. Johnson and Battling Nelson are
the best Of friends
And this is how it happened:
The Battler, Abe Pollock, who looks
after the Danes interests on the road,
and a party Of friends went to the
capitol Thursday afternoon and paid
the champion of Minnesota's political
arena lengthy visit.
The two champions discussed both
fighting and politics and the governor
proved SO interested in the little Dane
that an hour slipped away while they
chatted.
Nelson said, upon bidding the gov
ernor good by:
1t has been one of the greatest
pleasures of my lit. to meet you, and
now can think of only one thing that
would please me more"
What Is that?' asked the governor.
Il want chance to fight for you.
They tell me that you are going to
run for president. Well, II you do,
will promise to knock out more ene-
mics for you than have ever met in
the prize ring will fight harder for
you than did for the championship
and I believe you will win"
This so pleased the governor that he
again shook the hand of Nelson.
BILLY" Williams then took the party
in charge and showed them through
the new state building.

PLAYS THEW|SE'G GUY
colored Champion Will For
felt $1,000 and Fight at
Any Weight.

Associated Press to The Evening Ttnes,
Milwaukee, Dec. S.-A great deal of
the interest in the approaching light
weight battle between Kid Herman of
Chicago and Joe Cans. the present
champion. has been taken away by the
action Of Cans in inserting In the new
articles Of agreement that II either
man is over weight he must forfeit
$4,000 and agree to fight just the same.
There is no chance for Herman being
over weight, for he IS much the small
Ter man and can easily make the legi-
innate limit-the 1873 pounds ringside
so that the new proposition must
be for the benefit OF Cans and not
Herman. 1t means that Cans has all
the better of the weighing bargain,
although when the match was made
he appeared to be giving way to Her.
man in everything.
At the legitimate lightweight limit
Herman was gaining friends because
they knew that Cans would have hard
work making 1873 pounds two hours
before the contest, especially in colder
weather than when he worked for his
bout with Battling Nelson. They were
willing to take the Herman end of the
contest, but under the new conditions
the chances are that few bets will be
made on the Chicago boy. Cans need
not worry about making weight now,
for he can forfeit the $4,000 and go
into the contest stronger and weighing
nearer the welterweight limit than
the lightweight. To a man as clever
as Cans it will mean big advantage
and the wonder is that Nate Lewis,
manager of Herman, ever stood for
such change in the articles.
Cans could. we'll afford to forfeit
$4,000 when it would practically mean
the long end Of the $4,000 purse for
him. Herman is training faithfully
for the battle and his friends will be
pulling all the harder for him to win
now since Cans has seen fit to impose
conditions that will give him all the
better OF the argument. 1t only goes to
prove that Billy Nolan, manager of
Battling Nelson, was pretty shrewd
fellow and knew what he was about
when he made Cans toe the scratch
regarding weight conditions and the
like, even though he did make himself
unpopular with the sporting public.
II Herman could do the same thinA
now his chances Of winning would be
much brighter. 1t only demonstrates
once more the old saying that a match
we'll made is a match half won.
