Stumbling Blocks

Hyland or Thompson will be Stun
bling block that ring managers cannot
overlook after their battle of the 2Sth.
General opinion is that the contest will
be one of the most whirlwind affairs
ever witnessed in Los Angeles. Meth
er boy knows what back away means
and when the two endeavor to down
the other it should be a battle worth
going some distance to see.
Thompson leaves today for Arcadia,
where he will lather on the finishing
touches. Out in the open places of
Baldwin's ranch he will find the finest
air and running paths of Southern
California and so far as condition is
concerned he will have no excuse to
make.
Hyland is quietly going about his
work at Santa Monica and swears by
the exhilarating atmosphere which per-
vadeS the quarters.
Manager McClintic is optimistic as
regards the outcome. though not under
estimating the man whom Dick is to
meet. Speaking of the match yesterday
he said:
1.-The boy has never had such an OPP
portunity to get really fit as he is get
ting here, and when he faces Cyclone
Thompson on the evening of, August rs
he will be in such condition as he has
dips which he gets every day are the
one thing that were needed to get him
to the top notch, and while take good
care that he does not overdo the thing,
they are working wonders with him"
Fortunately weight does not bother
us in the least, for Dick eats about
twice as much as 1 ever saw him eat
before, and without increasing his
weight, 1t seems to go all into muscle
Just say for me that I would as leave
have him tackle Battling Nelson on
the 28th as Cyclone Thompson, though
we don't underestimate the latter.
"Hyland is fully convinced that he
is tackling one of the toughest mer
in the business. We expect to win, oi
course. but to great extent through
the fact that Dick will be in the con-
dition of his life.''
"Fighting Dick" like Thompson, is g
quiet chap and has very little to say
beyond that he expects to win. The
boy who would not say that much never
lived.
He is undoubtedly In splendid con.
dition. Rising before o'clock, ii 1:
Dick at breakfast, a rest and then out
on the road Returning at 10 O'CLOCK
a dip in the surf follows. Then comes
dinner and lounge until 8 o'clock
when the punching bag comes in for &
little punishment.
The earnest methods which have
marked training hours have brought
both boys into a favorable light anC
each will be well received when III
climbs between the ropes.

SAND MOUNTAIN |S GROWING SECTION MT. McOIesky Talks Interest ingIy of Marshall County TOWNS ARE PROSPEROUS Farmers of the Plateau Section Are Thrifty, and Own Their Homes.
 Chickens and Eggs Bring
 a Good Revenue.
TOWNS ARE PROSPEROUS

"No section of Alabama has shown more rapid or material development in the last few years than that territory gen. orally designated as Sand mountain" said R. R. McClesky, a prominent merchant of Boaz, who was in the city Saturday night.
 "There is not more fertile or more pro- ductive mountain section in the south than is included in Marshall county on the plateau of Lookout mountain. The lands are generally level. and while not fertile as valley land is very productive under the skillful tillage of the industrial farmer.
 Most of the people in the agricultural section of Marshall county own their small farms as productive as possible. These farmers are generally thrifty and hardworking, and while none of them per- haps would be classed as planters they are good citizens-frst-class citizens, make a good living at home and produce a sur plus for the market.
 Corn and Cotton.
 Corn and cotton are the principal products of Marshall county, but since the completion of the railroad from Gunters- vile to Attalla across the mountain, opening good markets, the people have turned some of their attention to the raising of vegetables, fruits and other things of like nature.
 Since the building of this railroad Albertville and Boaz have developed wonderfully, affording good shipping mar kets for all kinds of agricultural pro- ducts Both these towns are prosperous and are growing rapidly. One of the state agricultural colleges is located at Albertville, and is one of the most pro- gressive and popular in Alabama. Prof. J. B. Hobdy, president of the college, Is progressive and is bringing the institution up to a high standard of efficiency.
 "Boaz has good school and churches and one of the most successful cotton oil mills and ginnery in that part of the state. The town is comparatively new having developed almost wholly since the building of the railroad few years ago.
 Most Fertile.
 "It is in the midst of the most fertile and prosperous agricultural part of the 'mountain,' and its trade with the farmers is very large and is constantly growing We have a very large cotton business at Boaz, which Is increasing from year to year.
 "Another item of large importance is the trade in chickens and eggs at Boaz. There is not perhaps another town its size Tn that section that has a larger trade in this class of products. and though it seems insignificant in a way this alone brings quite a net sum of money to the hands of the thrifty farmers in that sec- ton. Prices in this class of produce has ranged high for the past year and the people who have turned some of their at tention to the raising of chickens have reaped good profits.

Gold Road EIks Celebrate.

The Elkian herd of Gold Road pre-. pared a banquet fit for the gods and invited many of their friends through. out this county and adjoining territory to be present last Saturday night and partake of it. Kingman Elks turned out to the number of seventeen, being composed of the following gentlemen; John Mulligan, John Hamilton, John KOlar, J. P. Gideon, J. w. Thompson, J. s. Withers, J. R. Russell, Charles Lynch, R. A. Robinson, Charles Met calfe, F. w. Morrison, W. w.. Whit ney, Lewis Eckstein, Byron Collins, E. M. Carrow, Henry Lovin. W. E. Sauls. George B. Ayers, Anson H.. Smith, and J. T. Langford also accom- panied the Elks as invited guests.
 The gates of Gold Road were thrown wide to the visitors and in the treat ment of their guests the boys of the great gold camp went the limit. At nine o'clock host and guests assembled to the number of a hundred or more in the new town hall and listened to music, song and story till the eleventh hour, when the Elks were grouped to- gether and drank the customary toast to the absent brother. Then to the banquet board, where everything good that was eatable and drinkable was found. The piece de resistance was three porkers done to a turn, and the good things that surrounded us on every side made us forget for the mo- ment that we were but a poor news paper man and to wish that the poor newspaper devil, Editor Root, of the Needles Eye, was there to enjoy the goods of the gods for at least once in lifetime. To say that guests and hosts enjoyed the feast goes without saying.
 The people of Gold Road know how to treat their guests and Kingman vis- itors will ever remember the night of music, song and feast they enjoyed uE- der their patronage. May their rocks become richer day by day and their larders ever filled.

Joint Statehood Bill.

The joint statehood bill was report ed in the senate last Monday and as soon as the rate legislation is out of the way the bill will have the floor. Senator Foraker, in discussing the measure, gives assurance that it can- not pass the senate without carrying with it the amendment giving to Ari- zona a separate vote on the adoption of constitution.
 Sentiment against the merger of the two territories has crystalized and practically every republican newspa- per of prominence on the Pacific coast is voicing their sentiment against the outrage. Such papers as the New Mexican of Santa Fe, one of the ablest journals in the southwest, the Chroni- cle, the Call, of San Francisco, the Times and Express, of Los Angeles, the Union, of San Diego, and all week ly newspapers in south California are fighting the good fight for Arizona's freedom. Not one prominent republi- can paper in this territory favors joint ure. An obscure Mormon sheet over in Apache county and two other week. ly papers in the south part of the ter ritory are shouting and lying for the joint statehood cause.

David Graham, an old time prospec- tor of this county, died at Hotel Beale Wednesday night. Deceased had been ailing for a month or more and his death was not unexpected. David Graham had a romantic life, having been captured when small boy by the Sioux and reared by them until verging upon manhood. After being recovered by white friends he went out into the mining section of the country where he spent the greater part of his life among the mines. At one time he owned mining property in the Organ mountains, of New Mex ico, later coming to Yavapai county. A few years ago he came to Mo have county and engaged in pros pecting. He was a quiet, peaceable man and had many warm friends in the county.
