FARMERS HAVE GOOD SEASON.
Busy Harvesting Crops i'm White
River Valley for the Local
Market

Harvesting is on in the White
River valley in the Preston and
Lund neighborhoods, every raneher
being busy getting in his crops. The
season has been one of the most
fruitful in the history of the region,
all crops being large.
The valley has become famous as
region of good farms and especially
Is this true of the fruits and small
vegetables which are principally
grown. Ely district is the market
for the section. Farmers can load
wagons with vegetables and before
the day is over have them on the To-
cal market.
The abundance of the years yield
can be imagined when one farmer of
the region sold several loads of fine
eabbages and then had enough left
from a small patch to make up three
barrels of sauer kraut. The potato
crop was also a good one. while late
cabbage and other vegetables and
fruits which will come on later in
the fall promise an abundant yield.

last fall. when shipments fell off to
such extent that for a time but two
trains week were operated. The
train day service has been in OPP
Grafton now for about week and il
is evident that it will be continued,
with possibility of necessity before
long of two trains a day. The freight
in last night carried % cars, in which
was a considerable amount of gen.
eral merchandise and ten cars of
coal. The latter traffic will hence
forward be an important item over
the line for supply of needs at

EYE CLOSED IN SECOND.

When Ketehel stepped to the cen
ter for the second round. it was seen
that his right eye was closed. At
the next intermission his seconds
laneed the eye socket and sucked the
blood. but Ketchel never regained
the sight of his right eye. Before
the finish the other eye was all but
closed, and for the last three rounds
he staggered about the ring, dizzy,
like drunken man, practically
blind.
In the third Ketchel showed his
best form, when he forced Papke
through the ropes.
Ketchel was fighting with both
eyes shut. In the tenth both men
missed repeatedly. The gong saved
Ketchel as he was knocked through
the ropes. Another minute would
have finished him. with Papke al
most as strong as when he entered
the ring.
Ketchel was carried to his dressing
room. Both eyes were swollen into
great black puffs and completely
closed. His lips were cut and swol-
len to several times their norman
size.

< press representative visited the
Englishman in his dressing room aft
er the contest and carefully exam
ined the right arm which Moran
claimed was broken The hand was
badly swollen around the thumb but
it was not possible to certify the claim
of a broken hand. Morans face was
much cut and his left eye was nearly
closed as the result of Attell's almost
ceaseless prodding. On the other
hand. Attell emerged from the scrim-
mage without a mark. Attell gave
out this statement, after being in.
formed of Moran's challenge for
return match.

want to live a while yet. But I will
give him return match for any
number of rounds mp to 25. beat
him at every stage"
An examination of Attell's right
hand disclosed the fact that the mid
die knuckle had been disjointed. A
resume of the fight by rounds shows
that Attell had more or less advan-
tage in nine rounds. Moran was
given six and the balance show even
honors.

COLMA ARENA. SAN FRANCIS
co. Sept S.-Abe Attell. the cham
pion featherweight of America, and
Owen Moran, Englands premier
boxer in the safe division. fought
draw battle Monday at the Colma
open-air arena in the presence of
about 5000 spectators. The battle
lasted 23 rounds. and at its conclu-
sion Referee Jack Welsh unhesitat-
ingly grasped both lads by the hand,
signifying that the fight was draw.
The decision seemed to please the
crowd and there were cheers for each
fighter as he wendell his way from
the ring side. The fight, on the
whole. was rather tame. but this was
offset by the eleverness exhibited by
both the fighters. 1t was very even
one and was marked by Moran's ag-
gressiveness and Attell's cleverness in
blocking and his all around work
from a defensive standpoint. The
consensus of opinion would seem to
indicate. however, that the Califor-
nian did not show his best form of
former contests and that he lacks the
dazzling speed which had made him

TRACK TEAM is MONEY LOSER
Nebraska Athletic Board VIII Lose
six Hundred Dollars
on 1t,

LINCOLN. June 6.-CSpecial)-The Ne
braska track season just closed lost the
Cornhusker athletic management over $500.
The exchequer was drawn on for $50 to
seId the cinder peth men to the Missouri
valley meet at Kansas City and the rain
at that contest kept down the attendance
and prevented the management of The Ne
braska team from getting back any of
that sum. The receipts of the Minnesota
Nebraska meet In Lincoln on May % were
only large enough TO pay the hotel ex-
penses of the Gophers. For the railroad
fare of the Minnesota men the Nebraska
management was forced to dip into the
reserve fund and get $3.50. other expenses
during the season made the total loss to
the Cornhusker management about $3.50.
Cinder path games always nave been a
losing proposition at Nebraska, but the
season just closed was the most disastrous
financially of any of recent years. The
unusual loss Of this year is accounted for
in the long trip made to the conference
meet by the Nebraska athletes and by the
fact that the Minnesota meet was held at
the fair grounds. a considerable distance
from the university. Nebraska, or none
of the other schools, was guaranteed a cent
for making the trip to the conference
games. Each team made the journey at
its own expense, depending for mun
tion on the receipts from attendance at the
contest. A heavy rain kept down the at
tendanc so that none of the teams re-
ceived any of the receipts. Only a hundred
people attended the Minnesota meet in
Lincoln, for the reason that il was held so
far from the central part of town that only
a few enthusiasts cared to make the trip.
The. expense Of bringing the Gophers to
Lincoln was over $500 and the small crowd
at the contest paid in only about $50 of this
sum.
Manager Eager expects the slim attend
ance at home track meets will cease next
year when the students ticket is sold.
This ticket admits the holder to all athletic
events of the year for 50. Students who
now stay away from the track and other
minor sports are expected to attend these
contests when they hav a ticket TO all the
athletic contests OF the year.
