The Question Of Tonnage,

In the discussion of the necessity
for improvement of the inland water
WAYS of the United States it Is graft
fving to note that the question Is no
longer treated a. in the academic
stage, but a. a question that Is IN
the foreground and not to be dis
lodged from its commanding position
until it has been met and answered
satisfactorily by the Congress Of the
United States. The dominant note
of the discussion is in the question
of tonnage. whether It be the tonnage,
that is offered to the railroads and
refused for lack of capacity for trans
portation, the tonnnge that is offered
and accepted and then delayed on
side tracks or in railroad yard, or the
tonnage that would come il the par
ticular stream IN question should be
improved.
The latter phase of the question is
the right phase. Tonnage follows
the avenues of trade and commerce
with inevitable certainty-that is to
say, it follows the path on which
there are means of transportation.
But while it is conceded by all that
inland waterway improvement Is an
absolute necessity. the fact remains
that there Is but one stream in the
United States which, though only
partially improved, has command
ing volume of tonnage and but one
stream which carries tonnage from

and with severe cuts, which his seconds
found difficulty in patching during the
minute interval between rounds. Burns
showed a tendency to lose his head
when he had his man in difficulty and
on many occasions did not follow up
his advantage.
The fight followers here invariably
judge Burns by the showing he made
against Dave Barry in this city in
August 1905. Barry was knocked out
in the twentieth round and it was the
general impression that had Burns
shown more aggressivenessN he would
have won much earlier in the fight.
Burns has improved his style in every
particular since that time and would
not be recognized as the same man.
Squires has done much of his work
during the past week on padded floor
resembling that on which he must fight.
He is doing this to accustom himself to
the footing. as the floor is slower than
| the ordinary one of a gymnasium.
Burns has not taken this precaution,
his work in the Reliance club gymna-
sium being done under the usual condi-
tions prevailing in club building.
Jeffries, who will referee the fight,
will leave Los Angeles tonight on the
Owl and is due in Oakland tomorrow
morning. He will be the guest of his
friend Dick Adams, during his stay
here. 1t is expected he will see Burns
in training tomorrow and will discuss
with him the rules under which the
men will fight. Jeffries will visit
Squires on Tuesday. He and the Aus
tralian have never met and each is un-
doubtedly a little curious to see the
other. The same condition prevails
with Squires and Burns. They have
never met and will not be able to size
up one another until they step into the
ring just across the county line in San
Mateo.

following gained by Squires must be
that the majority of the men who have
seen his work have been impressed by
his style in the gymnasium and also by
his wonderful physique. Added to this
is the quiet confidence which Squires
has in himself-a confidence which is
shared by his manager, Barney Rey-
nolds. They have gone about their
preparations for the forthcoming
match in a businesslike way and have
shown a thorough knowledge of every
thing pertaining to fighting, both in
the ring and in the preparations for a
match.
Squires has nothing on Burns in
has had no setback in training and is
pronounced in the best possible fettle.
Burns hackers have one consolation,
and that is that the short ender has
won the majority of the important
fights held in this city, in recent years.
Burns is not depending on this tradi-
tion to land him a winner, but has
worked hard to develop all of his ath-
letic faculties.
1t will require the actual fight to
demonstrate which of the rival heavy
weights is the hardest hitter. The only
line on Squires in this regard is the
work he has done with his sparring
partners. In this he has shown him.
self to be a hard, clean hitter, who is
given more to the use of short, jolly
blows than to swinging, the latter be-
ing style of blow he seldom uses. Joe
Thomas has felt the weight of his
blows in friendly practice bouts and
has wholesome respect for the hit
ting ability of the visitor.
