LfAVRWOUTH ATHLETIC Club
Three 3-Round Boxing Bouts Followed
bs 5-Raand Contest Between
Professionals

4 small but very appreciac7e audi
ence turned cut e witness the first atl-
letc exhibition gwen by the club.
The first event vas 4 5-round contest
with gloves between Guy Navarro and
Nick Murphy, resulting II a victory ior
The iormer. The boys showed he
effect Of training II what lovers CT tie
spcr call the manly ar" They took
and gave each other some pretty stiE
blows without, however, doing any
damage.
The second event vas, Ike the iorm-
er, a Ground go between Geo. Down
ing and Geo. Dickinson. There vas 4
touch Of the comic about this match.
caused By the antics Of Dickinson, VINO
IS a fireman. He vas very light On
his feet and fairly handy With his fists.
Al The end Of the third and asst round
the 90 vas declared draw. This bout
vas warner than the former il That
both men were old hands with me
gloves.
The third event, also 3-round cen
test, created more amusement than did
either Of the former. for the reason that
Deputy Marshal Oyerdorf, Who vas
matched with a 19O-pound logger By
the name Of Yengard, failed 70 show
up. It appears the heavy weight Of
the Canadian and his fierce locks
'skeered" the ex-marshal and he
funked, OF, perhaps L would be
more proper to say that he took to his
heels and hiked for Seattle where he IS
said to have gotten job on the police
force. AT the last hour Kid Raymond
agreed to take OverdorPs place against
/ Yengzrd- When they showed Up IN
the ring the great difference in the
two men could not be overlooked.
Vengard tipped the beam al 100 and
Raymond at 1873. In the first round
the Kid showed himself to be too quick
for the heavy Canadian, and in the
second round he got punch that put
him out Of commission. Raymond
won an easy victory without breaking
the Canadians skin or drawing blood.
The fourth and last was the star
event. Jack Curiey of the Leaven-
worth Athletic Club went at Joe Helm
rich of Spokane for a 15-round match.
This was really professional affair.
Both men did some exceedingly clever
work. Heinich's strong fort was to
clinch, and this he did in every round.
This may result from the fact that he IS
professional wrestler. Curley IS the
handler of the two men with his fists
and seemed to have the best Of it sew
eral rounds, though there was not
single knockdown. At the end Of the
fifteenth round the match was declared
draw, with the odds in favor Of Curley.
We are told that it is the intention
Of the club TO give an athletic ex-
hibition every month.

Because the people did not make a
great hero Of Mr.. Lawson and urge
him as a successor to Roosevelt, he
threw off the lions skin and revealed
the ass. ''You talk Of what I owe the
people. What do I owe the gelatine-
spined shrimps7 What have the saffron
blooded apes done that I should halt
any decisions to match their lightning
change, chameleon-hued loyalty The
people-forgiye me-but the people,
particularly the American people, are a
joke-a system joke" The best evil
dence the American people gave Of
having good common sense was their
declination to march under the leader
ship Of Lawson.

The daily papers this week con-
tanned news dispatches from Wentchee
to the effect that there we're over sixty
cases Of smallpox there and all the
schools were closed, and yet the news
papers Of the plague stricken town
have never printed word about the
true condition. This may be good
business but It indicates a shockingly
devilish disregard for the public vel
fare. Small wonder that he left a

MESSAGE WILL BEAR FRUIT.

Those overanxious people who
have feared that President Roosevelt
would fall below that high dignity
with which he has hitherto invested
his office now see that their fears
were wholly unfounded, and if there
are any who still doubt, let them
carefully peruse the recent message
10 congress and they cannot but be
pleased with it's poise, good sense
and terse writing. This message will
make the president stronger than he
was before, as we believe that the
country is back of the Roosevelt pol
icies and that the further steps
which he proposes will be "a flied
by public sentiment. These views
are the legacy Of Mr.. ROosevalts ad-
to the administrations
which are TO follow, and while they
may not find expression in legislation
this year, or next, or even the year
following, they contain seed which is
bound to bear forth good fruit in
years to come. They are, therefore
of permanent value and deserve the
careful and thoughtful consideration
of the American people

high.
In case the latter is accepted the
cost to the city has been placed at
the minimum; no gas roducer en-
CINE is on hand to bother with, and
in case the Wenatchee Electric COM
pany fails to furnish power in an
amount and a price that is satisfac-
tory the city may go ahead and pre-
paer to furnish it's own power.
AS secondary consideration,
though not unimportant is the saw
ing in time which may be made by
accepting the latter proposition.
While either one of the two for
mer propositions may prove to be the
right one some time in the future,
yet prudence would dictate that in
case of doubt to take the safe side. -
The accepting of the latter PROPOSE
ton does not prevent the taking up
of one of the other two at any time
in the future. On the other hand,
the acceptance of either of the first
two would mean a doubtful expense
which must be met.

COMMERCIAL CLUB ELECTION.

The regular annual meeting of
the Commercial club will be held to-
morrow ever ing. There is consider
able speculG ion as to who will be
chosen to guide the destinies of the
organization for the coming year.
A number of names have been sug-
getsed for president, any one of
whom are competent to assume the
leadership. Concerning the trustees
of the organization there are a large
number of active men who would
fill the office with credit. 1t would
seem wise that the board for the COM
ing year may be made up largely of
men who are most active but who
have not been in harness for some
time past. All former trustees and
those who are now on the board have
had an opportunity to see what has
been done and what can be done by
organiza ion, and these Will not lose
interest should they be left to work
in the ranks Enough members Of
the old board might be retained to
keep in touch with the work OF the
present board.
Although it would be asking con
siderable for one man to work both
on the ely council and on the board
of trustees OF the Commercial Club.
Vet if this could be done the work
of the two organizations might be
carried on more tremendously and
to greater advantage than it would

The Passing o. White Pine.

In this land Of hustlers white pine"
Is not we'll thought of in Il mans make
up, but there is no disuountiug its I'M
portance and value in the forests TIC
position which the United States has
held as a lumber producing nation
has perhaps been due more to white
pine than to any other wood. The
timber of this valuable tree. which has
played Il most important part in the
material development Of the nation. IS
fast disappearing. and now it is as
costly as the finest AmerIc;M hard
woods.
Rev. Edward Everett Hale, the chap
lain of the senate, who has always
taken an interest in forestry. deplores
the passing of white pine as or fore
most wood and tells how in his own
lifetime he has seen the day when the
masts of every vessel that sailed the
seven seas were made from New Eng
land grown pine. while today very lit

big enough to furnish good sized
spar" He tells also. to illustrate the
Increasing cost of the wood, that ne
ordered set of bookshelves on which
the cabinetmaker made price and
then asked whether they should be of
mahogany or white pine.
An idea of the increasing scarcity of
white pine timber is given by recent
New York quotations on basis of
carload lots. 'Uppers" of the best
grade cost $97 to STA a thousand
board feet, and the selects" or next
lower grade cost $3.50 to $3.50. Men
who are not yet middle aged remember
the time when these grades could be
purchased at SIS to $50 q thousand
feet. The present quotations on quar-
tered white oak, which are $50 to $50.
offer another basis of comparison
which indicates the condition of the
market for white pine.
At the present rate of cutting the
tree will soon be practically a thing Of
the past The small stands in the M
tional forests are inconsiderable. but
they wiz be managed with the great
est conservatism by the government
through the Forest Service, and through
this method ana practice of reforestra-
ton it may be hoped that the fine Old
tree will furnish timber for other gen
eratiouS.

I'm CASE OF DOUBT TAKE THE
SAFE SIDE'

Shall the city install its own
municipal pumping and lighting
plant? This is the question that is
now squarely up to the city council
for their consideration.
Engineer Hanford of Seattle has
submitted three propositions to the
city. One proposition cOntemplates
the establishment of a gas producer
engine to furnish power for lights
and to pump water from the Colum-
'bia. Its cost is estimated at S61.677
and maintenance at S13.497.
The second proposition contem-
plates the furnishing Of the power
for pumping alone at a cost of $50
727 and an annual maintenance
charge of $12, $50.
The third estimate is based upon
the one million gallons OF pumping
capacity. the power to be obtained
from the Wenatchee Electric com
pany. The cost is approyimated at
$32,0@2 and the maintenance at
S12,09 annually. Here, then. IS the
question of an expenditure of Sci
677, $56,727 or $32,032. What will
be the difference in the results OBJ
tanned?
In the first two propositions the
city would have on its hands a whole
pumping, ga sproducar outfit to look
after. In case she investment proves
to be unwise the city will have learn

Another Tichborne Case.

The remarkable Druce-Portland cass
in England would create more of sen
sation than it has bit for its similarity
to the celebrated Tichborne claim of a
generation ago. An impcstor attempt
ed back in the seventies to palm him
self off as the son and heir of the de-
ceased head of the house of Tichborne,
and a vast estate was involved. The
spurious Tichborne sold bonds payable
on the recovery of the estate. After
expanding a large amount of money
the claimant landed in prison.
The Bruce Portland case turns on the
alleged double life of the fifth Duke Of
Portland, who in his proper character
lived as a recluse in his London man
sion. The duke died childless, leaving
his title and fortune which now
yields an income of S1,500,000 a year
TO distant relatives. The claimant,
bruce, alleges that the duke adopted
a disguise and for years kept a retail
shop in London, where he passed as
Thomas Druce. In this character he
married. and grandson of that
Thomas Druce" whoever he was, is
after the Portland estates. Is in the
Tichborne ease, the claimant is able to
raise money by tie sale OF shares in
the venture.

CROP PROSPECTS AMI PROSPERITY.

Financial authorities not altogether agreed
on the primary cause for the panic which came
urc tho nation last October. Various reasons
have Icau assigned The loss OF a large portion of
the worlds wealth through the war between Russia
and Japan, so-calIed high finance, crookedness in
the management of institutions having large trust
funds huge speculation. and loss of confidence
have all been assigned as causes for the depression
which took the wind out of the sails of the good
ship Prosperity Students of things financial are
now pointing out the reasons for the return of
prosperity. if indeed it has returned And the
one big cause is the promised bumper crop to be
harvested soon
The latest government reports the outloog
for cotton, wheat, oats and encouraging
to the money-lenders. for corner on big crop
pays handsome profits, and handsome profits make
for prosperity. 1t is encouraging too. because the
prospects for wheat in parts of Europe, South
America and Asia are not of the best, and this is
counted on to stimulate the demand from abroad
and thus help the American consumers to part with
their money with cheerfuness and resignation.
For be it known. the products of the American
farm go very far toward making foreign exchange
for the United States, and giving us Chat is the

money market.
The official report wheat shows crop pros
pect of nearly 7OO,OOO,O00 bushels, or 53OO0OOO
bushels than last year. billion bushels of
is promised, and of rye, barley hay, and cot
ton bountful crop.
SO it may be seen that nature is doing her best
to restore prosperity, in spite of the destructive
habits of man. The good old earth does her best
to supply the needs of the people, producing
than enough food-so much, in fact, that we are
justified in the belief that prosperity is really in

ABUSE OF FIRE WORKS.

A few months ago when hundred and sew
enty odd children were entrapped in fire at Col
lingwood, wave of Indignation swept the
country Sympathy for the little ones enveloped
in flames and feeling Of revolt against those who,
through carelessness or want of foresight in fore
seeing or anticipating such dreadful disaster,
quite natural. But what of the thousands who
will be killed outright or manned for life this week
1t viii be a repetition of what has happened once
year away back for more than half a century. In
every street corner viii be found the allurng in
struments of destruction for sale On Saturday the
war of determination will reach It's highest point.
Last year our expression of patriotism meant
over three hundred deaths from lockjaw. linger-
ing death far more painful than the massacre of
the innocents at Collingwood Statistics reported
that nearly four hundred and fifty lost an eye and
over one hundred became and are totally blind.
How do some men view this expression of patriot
ism which costs 50 many lives. often painful linger
ing deaths, and leaves as legacy MANNED sightless
human sufferers. If the dead who are molding
in their graves. the victims of Fourth Of July ex-
posives. and che living blind, armess or legless,
also victims of rash patriotism were presented to
the American public there is no doubt but public
sentiment would demand national peace confer
ence to avert self-destruction and manning. Read
the statistics of deaths, manning and destruction
of property by fire in Sundays papers. compare re-
suits with the deplorable event at Collingwood,
where the school childrens death was, in a certain
sense painless compared with the long suffering
and excruciating pain of Fourth of July victims of
fireworks and the verdict of common sense would
be that for the preservation of life and property
law should be enacted against the ndiscriminate
abuse Of fireworks and firearms.
