 On PugiIIsfi)

Rports from Philadelphia indicate that Jack O'Brien and Joe Blackburn will meet in the ring in the near fu- ture. Blackburn and O'Brien aI- each eager for such bout, and it is only question of. time. apparently, when they will get together.
 Blackburn is a dangerous man, and in spite of the fact that hk will be lighter than O'Brien seems likely to make first-class showing. The usual criticism will accompany any go in which O'Brien figures, l expect, but 1t must be said in his favor that he seems to have been boxing strictly on his merits in recent encounters.
 Packie Mcfarland and Battling Nell son are to get together after all. Some doubt was expressed as to whether the Hegewisch boy would agree to the ten-round route, but ne seems to be well disposed toward meeting Mcfarland in a short bout uI Milwaukee May 25.
 According to the plans outlined by Mcfarland, he has but two Tights in view. He wants to meet Nelson first, and thinks he can out point him iH 8 short bout Following this match, he plans to go against Joe Cans, that veteran of the ring, and it is certain that big purse will be offereu -or such an encounter.
 In the meantime, ,RudoIpa Unholz will have to be considered, in case he makes a good showing against Cans, and it may be that Packie will recon slider his decision and decide to stay in the ring a bit longer. Ills boxing career n9s extended over so short h period that it is hard to see why ne should withdraw. He aas q bright future before him, and I believe lie can make his mark in almost any ifs tic circles
 Cans is a difficult proposition for any man to fs,ce, and on ;hfs account 1t Is said that club at .ioldi:rlj will hang up a huge purse for such a match. Cans and Nelson fought for the largest sum ever hung up in this country by a club. The total was s33, 800 and of this Cans only received $11, 900 for winning It would seets as if bout between Cans and Packie ought certainly to be worth as much.
 It is known that promoters have been making offers for such q go and believe that if Mcfarland can de cisively beat Nelson he will be able to name his own terms. The same applies to Nelson, in case he can get the better of the Chicago boy iD the ten-round bout
 Mcfarland Is keeping up light work all the time and last week started training with Kid Farmer. Farmer is considerably the heavier of the pair and this gives Packse an oppor- tunity Tor rough work He can mix it up with Farmer without hurting him and tsiis will make Mcfarland more rugged and sturdy. He ought to be able to hold his own with any man at grappling after couple of weeks Of this practice.
 The Milwaukee boy has had but a short career In the ring, and he sas come to the front in great style. He is now said to be planning ehai- lenge to Abe AttelI. Tn this respect I think he Is wrong.

LOS ANGELES, Cal. May B. The largest fish that has been caught in San Diego bay for years was that hooked by w. E. Bailey. of Bisbee. Ariz., from the Spreckles wharf a few days ago. The monster was of the jewish species and weighed ITO pounds. Mir. Bailey sold it to the Union Fish company
 The lucky fisherman had a line out for sand sharks, using as bait an eight ingh halibut. Mir. Bailey says that the big fish kept biting at the halibut for several minutes, then suddenly seizing the bait. hook and all, started rapidly for the open sea Then the fight began. For more than an hour the battle waged, after which time the prize was exhaustea and drawn up to the wharf, where its size was ascertained for the first time. Mr. Bailey, who is "a small man, was also about exhausted after his strenuous battle with the iewfsh, but he stayed with it until the fish was finally landed

riage, he waded into the mud and
brought the ~squealing little beast to
the dry road. After r%e-entering his
carriage covered with mud and hav-
ing reached his home, he was asked
why he went to such unnecessary
trouble, he said that II he had not
done so he could not have slept a
wink at night. It was an unsellsh
deed and n of the many little
things that the president did to make
him beloved by q whole nation"
In concluding he dwelt on the Inn

them that their knowledge and char
acters were needed in Billings, which
he said was the best city in the state,
being aslittle larger and better than
Miles City, his home town.
Report Of President.
President of the School Board Fred
1nabnit then made a review OF what
had been undertaken and c o
plished In the city schools during the
past year. He spoke of the various
sources from which the funds for the
equipment and maintenance Of the
schools derived, how they were
expended and what results had been
obtained from the investment. He
outlined what the board had undertake.
en- and completed and what it desired
to have done in the near future. He
concluded by saying that the returns
from the money expended for the
schools more than justified the ex-
penditures as the courses from a clas-
steal and practical standpoint ofered
in the Billings schools were up to the
standard of any in the country.
Diplomas were then presented to
the class by President Inabnit after
which the graduates received the CON
gratulations Of their friends on the
stage.

From Wednesdays Daily.
The commencement exercises OF the
graduating class of 1908 which has
just completed the course Of the local
high school were held last night at
the Babcock theater. The audience
that filled the ediice was composed
mainly Of high school students, their
parents and teachers.
An invocation by Rev. C.E. luke
Of st. Luke's Episcopal church op-
ened the exercises. He was followed
by the high school girls chorus,
which sang up, Up and Away" The
address Of the evening was delivered
by the Hon. George r. Milburn Of
Miles City, who took as his subject,
What Is Success?" in the course of
his discourse advising the members
of the class to lead upright and hon

which a mar or a WOman's worth to
a community can be justly measured.

State Original Owner.
The court says that there are two
reasons why the right Of the public to
control and limit the use of private
property is peculiarly applicable to
property in land: First, such prop
erty is not the result of productive la
Dor, but is derived solely from the
state itself, the original owner; sec

the constitution. While 1t might re-

delay his taking some Of the product,
might delay his anticipated profits

some loss of profit, 1t would neverthe'
less leave him his lands, their product

diminution of title, estate, or quantity
He would still have large measure OF

view, which has recently been sus.
tanned by the supreme court Of the
United States. In delivering the
opinion Of the court on April 6. 1908,
MI. Justice Holmes said: 1.-THE state
as quasi-sovereign and representative
Of the interests Of the public has a
standing in court TO protect the at
mosphere, the water, and the forests
within Its territory, irrespective of
the assent or dissent OF the private
owners Of land most Immediately con-
cerned. =
Public Interests Superior to state.
ut appears to us that few public in
t%erests are Ore obvious, indisputable
and Independent Of particular theory
than the interest of the public Of a
state to maintain the rivers that are
wholly within 1t substantially undi-
minished, except by such drafts upon
them as the guardian Of the public
welfare may permit for the purpose Of
turning them to a more perfect use.
This public interest is om%nipresent
wherever there is a state, and grows
more pressing al population grows. :
r. : We are Of opinion, further, that
the constitutional power Of the state
to insist that its natural advantages
shall remain unimpaired by its citi-
zens is not dependent upon any nice
estimate OF the extent Of present use
or speculation as to future needs.
State Does Not Require Analysis.
"The legal conception of the neces-
sary is apt to be confined to some
what rudimentary wants, and there
are benefits from a great river that
might escape a lawyers view. But
the state is not required to submit
even to an aesthetic analysis. Any
analysis may be inadequate. It finds
itself in possession of what all admit
to be a great public good, and what
it has it may keep and give no n a
reason for its will"
These decisions reach the loot Of
the. idea Of conservation of our re-
sources in the interests Of people.
Finally, let us remember that the
conservation of our natural resources,
though the gravest problem of today.
is yet but part of another and greater
problem to which this nation is not
yet awake, but to which it will awake
in time, and with which it must here
after grapple If it is to live-the
problem of national efficiency, the pa
triotic duty of insuring the safety
and continuance of the nation.
Future Of Nation Not Vet Assured.
When the people of the United
States consciously undertake to raise
themselves as citizens, and the nation
and the states in their several spheres,
to the highest pitch Of excellence in
private, state, and national life, and
to do this because it is the first of all
the duties Of true patriotism, then and
not till then the future Of this nation,
in quality and in time, will be as
sured.

the lead over all other nations in the
production of steel. The discovery
and utilization Of coal and iron have
given us our railways, and have led
to such industrial development as has
never before been seen. The vast
wealth of lumber in our forests, the
riches of our soils and mines, the dis
covery Of gold and mineral oils, com
bined with the efficiency of our trans
%portation, have made the conditions of
our life unparalleled in comfort and
convenience.
Development Has Decided Effect.
The steadily increasing drain on
these natural resources has promoted
to an extraordinary degree the com
plexity of our industrial and social
life. Moreover, this unexampled de.
velopment has had a determining eff.
feet upon the character and opinions
OF our people. The demand for .ef.
ficiency in the great task has given us
vigor. effectiveness, decision, and
power, and a capacity for achievement
which in it's own lines has never vet
been matched. So great and so rapid
has been u material growth that
there has been a tendency to lag be.

but that is not the subject upon which

Disregarding for the moment the
