ONLY FOUR FIGHTERS
BIG JEFF" RESPECTS

LON ANGELES, Cal. Nov 10.-Jim
Jeffres the big chief of the fight game,
says that the boxing game in New
York. which only allows the boys to go
six rounds, is something like man
who has a banquet appetite and then
finds that he is only getting lunch

There are OOur white fighters be
fore the public that l have great conf
dence in says the big fellow. "They
are Billy Papke, Battling Nelson, Abe
Attell and Little Johnny COulOn. 1t
makes no difference when this quartet
starts you are sure to get q run for
your money. Papke has demonstrated
that he has a cool way of doing bust
ness whenever he starts. and in adj
ditiOn to that, he uses his brains, and
he has everything which is needed in
the making of a champion. He is also
as game as they make, them, and it will
take real strong boy to take the title
away from him.
Then take the Dane. There is a
warm spot in my heart for this boy.
Nelson never sidestepped anyone, no
matter how strong he thought the
other fellow was. When one looks over
the Danes record with some care, and
finds that he has beaten the following
men it makes you look up and think
some: Joe Cans Jimmy Britt, Abe At
tell, Boer Upholz Terry McGOVern,
Kid Sullivan, Young Corbett Aurelia
Herrera, Eddie Hanlon. Martin Candle,
Clarence English, Neary and George
Memsic.
Then take Attell. The Hebrew boxer
is a wonder. There is no other way
that I could express my opinion about
Attell. He is as clever as they make
them. His record is what we might call
a dream when it is looked over. john

BUBONIC INVASION.

the United States is in serious danger
from invasion from that quarter. Not

enemy, one which cannot be neld in

The United States is in danger in SER

productions of the present day will be
seen here on the night of November -.
at the KeylOr Grand theater. Perhaps
not since The Nirginian" has the stage
been offered a hero at once so human,
so manly and so irresistible as Mr..
Macks Bob Richards" The glorifed
cowboy has appeared i'll fiction and in
stage lines again with his sombrero
and his wild antics with a six shooter.
The thing about Mr.. Mack's cowboy,
that has appealed so forcefully. is that
he is real He is a man. He does some
things that society does not sanction
as proper but his instincts are sound
his heart is big, he is generous and he
is honorable. and a man to be trusted
with woman. He has lived the wild
elemental life of his kind but he
knows and loves the better way when
he sees it.

cIines TO the latter opinion. The very
stupendous character of the plans for
national deep waterway Improvement,
that as yet are barely more than sug-
gested. will undoubtedly throw the
shadow of skepticism over any state
ment like this of President Fair
banks. Yet for fifty years we have
engaged with success in these stu
pendous undertakings; and the COM
pletfon of each marvellous task mas
been the incentive to tackle another
more marvellous.
1t seems to be the consensus of au-
lucrative opinion that We have the
wealth and the engineering skill to ere
ate and TO maintain a deep waterway
through the heart of the continent
from the lakes to the gulf. We are as
sured that the completion of the Pan
anna canal will be realized in a few
years-almost before we have ceased
our ordinations of amaZement over
the magnitude of the task. The two
will mean, of course, the fulhllment or

The man of speculative turn, who

tive territorial problems which con
front the railroads, need waste but lit
tie thought as to how the roads Will
meet the changed conditions Of in
creased water transportation and de
creased rates which this will necessari-
ly bring about. Before these cOndl-
tons obtain, the settlement and de-
velopment of the vast area between
the Mississippi river and the Pacific
coast will take care of that matter. We
may safely figure that one day the To-
cal traffic of the west will balance the
local traffic of the eaSt.-Portland Tel
