NEW YORK. April 20.--Jack Palmer.

ing letter:
New York, April 10.
CAS- the public prints have seen fit to
heap 80 much adverse criticism upon
my shoulders on account OF my bout
with Jack CTwin) Sullivan, would
like to set myself right before the
sporting public of America. They have
characterized me as lemon 'prune.'
and what not. 1t scarcely is fair to
pass Judgment upon my fistic ability
on the showing I made in this one
bout, and / don't mind saying am
capable OF doing much better IL given
another chance.
"In the first place, I left the old
country hurricdly; travelled over 5000
miles on the sen, and when I arrived
in New York 1t was cold, windy and
showing. Then followed 3,500-mtle
trip across the continent. and when
I arrived in Los Angeles 1t was as
warm and balmy as summers day
in the tropics. I scarcely had time to
become acclimated, and had only eight
days in which to train for the bout,
= was SLOW ana not IN Such phySt-S
cal condition that I could do myself
full Justice, The American public is
proverbially fair to all foreigners, and
received Pedlar Palmer, Penny Jor-
dan, Billy Plimmer. Spike Robson
Stanton Abbott and other Englishmen
with kindly grace. SO am going to
ask all OF the fair-minded sportsmen
of this country to reserve Judgment
until have had another opportunity
Of showing what can do.
Il am "a legitimate middleweight,
and intend to challenge Hugo Kelly. Joe
Thomas. Willie Lewis, Sailor Burke,
or anybody else my weight. including
the man who defeated me-Jack SuI1i-a
van. With three weeks training, hav-f
Ing become thoroughly acclimated, I
know will be able to acquit myself
creditably, and hope will not be-
denied the chance OF showing just what
l really can do in the ring"

A Business That Grows.

Chas Hart has just returned from the
east where he went to buy goods for
The Brown Hart Company of Blackfoot
and The Coumerilh- Hart Company of
Moore.
Mr.. Hart makes these trips every
season, and by making careful study
OF the needs and conditions here, and
the kind and character of goods most
appreciated by the local trade, he has
succeeded in getting the matter of buy
ing goods, pretty we'll in hand. 1t is
an old saying that economy in purchas-
ing is the road to wealth, but in con-
ductlng big general merchandise store
the manager must also know what to
buy and how much Of a kind,or there will
be goods to carry over to the next year.
The success OF firm depends as much
on the buyer as on the statesmen aud
the customers, and Mr.. Hart has the
happy faculty Of knowing conditions SO
we'll all the time that he seldom misses
it much in his estimates. For example,
In 1906 he laid in very large supply Of
ladies' coats, and some thot they would
not sell more than half Of them last
year and the rest would be shelf worn
and out OF style this year, but the big
demand was SO nearly equal to the big
supply, that the last Of the coats were
sold by the close Of the season. Crops
are good this year and there is every
indication of a big fall trade, and the
stores Of this company will be ready
for it.
A few weeks ago they bought out the
business of C. R. Hoalst & Company Of
Moore, and it is subject Of remark
among people from that locality that
they are putting In stock OF goods
that meets the wants of the whole
country, and it is a drawing card to
the town to have such stock there be-
cause more people come to town now
than did before, and other firms receive
benefits from it.
1t is the policy of these firms to buy
the best, and they get that class OF Gus
toners who appreciate quality, prefer
ring to pay little more for good goods
than to take something inferior that is
dear at any price.
They employ the best Of statesmen
and deal n dry goods, groceries, boots,
shoes and clothing. People starting
new homes on the Carey Lands, and
those buying for mines and construc-
ton camps will do well to investigate
this depot Of supplies anf compare
goods and prices with any Others in the
valley. lo-l
