CROP OUTLOOK GOOD.
James J. Hill Declines to Discuss Bust.
ness Situ2tion.

New York, May l. James J. Hill,
chairman of the Great Northern board
of directors, who delivered an address
Thursday before the conference of
governors in Washington, has returned
to this city. He referred hopefully to
the crop outlook in the Northwest,
saying: ,..-..
Every one is looking forward hope
fully to the time when business condi-
tions will resume normal aspects. The
crop outlook is good. In some parts
of the West the conditions are the
most promising in years. In the North.
west the seeding is just being finished,
but the conditions under which it has
been done are the best, in ten years."
Mr.. Hill did not care to discuss the
general business situation nor the pro-
posed advance in freight rates.
"The governors" said Mr.. Hill, re-
ferring to the recent conference, edo
not till the soil, nor work the mines,
nor cut down the forests; all they
can do is to suggest means for i'm
provement in agricultural methods and
for conserving the natural resources
of their states. The carrying out Of
these suggestions rests with the peo-
pie and the important thing to do now
is to force home to the people the
facts of the situation. That is why l
say spread the campaign of education
that has been started broadcast"

LIVELY TILT IN HOUSE.
Speaker Cannon and Several Mem

| Speaker Cannon and Several Mem
bers Clash.
Washington, May L "A lively tilt
between Speaker Cannon and several
members of the house occurred dur
! ing the consideration of a bill to COM
pensate government employees for in
juries received in the government
| service.
Mr.. Alexander IN. Y.), who offered
/ the bill, had the floor and his col
league, Mr. Cochran, asked for order.
The speaker declared the house was
in perfect order.
At that Mr.. Cochran, who was in his
place on the Democratic side, strobe
across the chamber, remarking while
he did so "that the price of attention
is disorder and I will join it. I must
go over TO that side in most disor
derly way in order to hear the pro-
ceedings."
Mr.. Gaines of Tennessee repeated
the suggestion that the house was
not in order, whereupon the speaker
reiterated that the order was excel
lent. It is super-eXcellent, he de-
clared. "Let everybody sit down."
shouted Mr.. Gaines.
BY that time the speaker was thor
oughly provoked. ''The gentleman
from Tennessee and perhaps other
members in their anxiety for order
possibly made disorder" he said.
"And the chair adds to it by a lot Of
his unnecessary levity," remarked Mr..
Gaines.
"The gentleman will be seated un-
til he is recognized" commanded the
speaker.
Mr.. Gaines insisted that he made
his point in all sincerity, but the
speakers only reply was to instruct
the stenogra pher not to take down Mr..
Gaines remarks, made out of order.

WILL BENEFIT CASS LAKE.

The people of Cass Lake are to
be congratulated on the fact that,
at last, they are about to have
handed to them from the federal
government plum" in the form of
a reconstruction of the national
forest reserve that surrounds the
village of Cass Lake, and through
the new arrangements many acres of
valuable agricultural lands are to be
opened to entry and homesteading.
Ever since the first settlement at
Cass Lake was formed, that COM
munity has been struggling for an
existence, the fact that government
Indian reservation and later a
national forest reserve surrounded
the town making it impossible to
get settlers in the vicinity of the
village.
A determined effort has been
made by the Cass Lake people to
break down the stone wall' that
practically surrounded the place,
with the result that the allowing of
the states claim for swamp land
taking away a large slice of the
forest reserve and breaking up the
territory to such an extent that it
was not an altogether ideal place
for reserve, and the forest service
people finally have let go of another
large piece of the land, getting other
lands in lieu thereof.
The passing of the new forestry
bill by the house of representatives
assures the opening of at least
$4,000 acres of land and Cass Lake
will reap the benefits for which she
has so long waited.

TOMMY WALSH
WILL REFEREE
Unless Fighters Make Another selec-
ton, He Will Be Appointed Third
Man for Scrap Friday
Night

1t is practically settled that Tommy
Walsh, the very capable referee of the
preliminary fights at Jeffries' Vernon
club ana the Pacific Athletic club, will
be chosen to referee the Frank Carsey-
Phil Brock scrap Friday night at YER
non. This is the statement that
Champ Jeffries made previous to leav-
ing for the long hunting trip upon
which he started yesterday.
There has been considerable discus
sion regarding the choice Of referee
for this fight, and since Jeff has said
he will not act the duty naturally falls
upon Walsh, if all concerned are agree
able to his selection. The club natur-
ally is inclined to have Walsh referee.
as it does not desire to turn down it's
own man unless the fighters make an
other selection.
Tommy assuredly is capable, cool
headed and knows the game as well
as any of them, and his selection will
be pleasing news to the fans who en-
joy witnessing a fight wherein they are
assured of a decision in accordance
with the real results of the battle.

MAY SUTTON WINS
2 TENNIS MATCHES
Clever Southern California Champion
Plays Before Large Crowd of En-
thusasts-Upward Stroke
Very Effective

SAN FRANCISCO, July 14.-Miss
May Sutton figured in two exhibition
matches on the courts of the California
tennis club today before a large gath
ering of enthusiasts, and in both she
came out victorious.
She first played in a doubles match
with Miss Coda Myer of the Women s
Annex tennis club against Mrs. Bruce
ana Mrs. Harry Elliott and won in
three straight sets. Then she coupled
with Maurice Mclaughlin, coast cham
pion. against Mrs. Bruce and Carl
Gardner.
Miss Sutton and Mclaughlin won the
match in two straight sets. She played
the best tennis she has shown on this
Visit. Instead of remaining in the
back court and driving, as she usually
does, she was at the net continually,
and her volleying was the best ever
seen on a local court for a woman.
Instead of meeting the ball on a vol
lev as the men do, she had an upward
stroke-a sort of >drive--which put SO
much speed on the ball as to make 1t
almost Impossible for her opponents to
handle it.
The mixed doubles match was the
more interesting of the two, as 1t
showed the famous Sutton sisters off
TO better advantage. While Miss SUIT
ton and Mclaughlin won IN straight
sets, the outcome Of the match was
in doubt until the final point was won.
Both Miss Sutton and Mrs. Bruce
handled the drives and service of Gard
ner and Mclaughlin in clever style.
At times Mrs. Bruce was confused by
McLoughlin's twist service, but she
usually managed to make her returns.

INDUSTRIOUS INDIAN
MATCHED WITH DIEL

There will be a wrestling match be-
tween William Diel and Chief Middle
sey, the monstrous Indian, at Chutes
park next Sunday afternoon on the
baseball diamond in conjunction with
the athletic events between the Hoe
gees and Edisons. Diel weighs only 10
pounds, while his opponent weighs 1856
pounds. 1t is conceded beyond a rea-
sonable doubt that the contest will go
to the Indian, as his physical ability
is so much greater in proportion than
his opponents.
Fred Johnson, weight 145 pounds, will
take on some opponent yet to be select
ed at this weight. These wrestling
matches should develop fine source OF
recreation to those who like this kind
of, sport.

out with challenge to meet any man
at 140 pounds. While at the same time

tried to gouge out the left eye of his

Battling Nelson

Special to The Herald.
SAN FRANCISCO, July IA. - In
sporting circles here it is felt that
Cans and Nelson will not meet at
Ely on Labor day. although articles
have been signed and all preliminaries
are arranged except the posting tn the
first $4,000 of the purse, which must
be put up by Saturday.
Tex Richard, promoter of the battle,
showing signs of hedging. He says one
of the railroads has refused to allow
favorable rates from Salt Lake and
Ogden to Ely. and last night said he
would not carry out his plans for the
fight unless this road joined others in
making a low rate.
1t is said money is tight in the min
ing camps and Richard faces a big
loss on the fight. 1t is not likely that
any definite action will be taken to
call off the fight until the time comes
to post the first installment of the
purse.
Cans is at Hardin Springs taking a
long rest preparatory to beginning
actual training.
Freddie Welsh arrived in this city
tonight seeking a match with Nelson.
He thinks he did not get fair deal
with Mcfarland in the south and be-
lieves he can show his class in fight
with the Dane. Encouraged by the
prospect that the Gans-Nelson match
will fall through, he will camp on the
trail of Nelson until he secures a prom
Use of a fight or a positive refusal.
A letter from Cans today says he is
starting on a four-day hunting trip.
1t is learned that Cans was warned
by a doctor just before he left here
that he must watch his diet very care
fully and avoid sweet things. The doc
tor intimated that Cans had been far
too careless in eating. This may ex-
plain the sudden collapse of Cans in
his fight with Nelson.
