THEIR OLDEST CITIZEN.
HI. Miles Moore of Leavenworth Cele-
brates Elghty-first Birthday.

Leavenworth, Sept. S.-Without any
formal celebration H. Miles Moore, the
historian and pioneer, passed his
eighty-first birthday at the sick bed of
his wife. Mrs. Moore has been i'll for
five years and of late her condition de-
mands her husbands constant pres
ence.
1t can safely be said that H. Miles
Moore is the oldest resident of Leaven-
worth. He was a member of the town
site company that came down the riv-
er from Weston, Mo-, in 1854 and
staked out the site for Leavenworth.
Only two members of the company are
living and the other-A T. Kyle-is no
longer a resident, having returned to
Weston.
TT seems strange" said Mr.. Moore
reminiscently. that 1 survived those
ragged days to enjoy the quietude of
old age when my career came so near
being nipped in youth so often.
Why. twice in the year 1856 I was
strung up by pro-slavery ruffians and
once thrown into the Missouri river in
the same year. 1 was cut down by
friends. who found me hanging by the
neck unconscious. Those ruffians were
terrified by my temperance to life, -
here he chuckled as in appreciation of
a good joke, when 1 walked about the
streets the next day."

FROM SEATTLE TO PANAMA.
Hartman and Others Are Building to
Attain This End.

A railroad from Seattle to the Pan
anna canal which few years ago was
looked upon as chimerical, promises to
be an accomplished fact before long.
Hartman is building rapidly toward
Guadalajara from Guaymas. and his
line will make connection with the
Pan-American road whose objective
point now is Guaymas.
There has been delay in the con-
struction of the latter line, owing to
lack of money, but it is asserted now
that ]. NJ. Neeland has received the
last of the subsidy for the Pan-Ameri-
can in Mexico, a little more than
100000 pesos.
This will pay the company for the
construction of the last 100 kilometers
to the Guatemalan boundary.
Neeland now will undertake the task
of pushing the road straight through
Central America to the Panama canal,
and to the financing of the proposed
Mexican Pacific railroad. This line
will cross the Sierra Madre, Chiapas,
Tobasco, Campeche and Yucatan, thus
connecting by rail the peninsula with
the capital of the republic and San
Francisco.
Neeland plans to float $4,000, 900
bonds for this road in England, and
now is working for subsidy from the
Mexican government.
This he hopes will be made $4,000
900 Mexican currency, and If this is
voted he thinks there will be no dff11-

the imported seed in case any more

A Mcpherson seed man got about
half a car load of the seed and the
results from the seed sown there are
about the same as here. The seed is
perfectly clean. has a yellowish oily
appearance and is large and plump.
The price is $40 per bushel. about the
same as the best quality raised by local
growers. The most of the Hungarian
alfalfa seed goes to Hamburg. Ger

This quick termination of the Hun

FIGHT TONIGHT

SAN FRANCISCO, November Is
The Los Angeles sports have some
thing catchy to look forward to in the
Freddie Welsh-Abe Attell match which
is carded for Thanksgiving eve. Welsh,
the English lad, combines extreme
cleverness with a fair amount of
punching ability and as Abe is SINH
larly endowed the pair should furnish
a highly interesting display of fisti-
cuffs.
Welsh has been made the favorite in
the betting, the reason probably being
that he will be a few pounds heavier
than Attell. This is in pursuance OF
the old line Of argument that good
big man is a better investment than
good little man, although in the case
in question, it is more than probable
that the weight difference will cut a
small figure.
There is this to it, however: Attell
always fights with more abandon when
he is pitied against an opponent who
belongs in a class above him. He IS a
shrewd philosopher, is Abey He knows
that if he is worsted by lightweight
he can fell back upon the excuse, 81
went out of my class" and he seems
to keep this in view every second he is
fighting.
AS proof there the bout with Bat
Ting Nelson at the Coliseum. Abe
fought that night as he never fought
before ana the hard-headed Norseman
was clearly outboxed by the best of the
American featherweights.
The pity is that Attell will not cut
loose with the same degree of activity
when he meets lad of his own weight.
The idea that he may some day run
against youngster his own size who
is capable of relieving him of his
championship is repugnant to him and
as a consequence he is invariably I'M
der a wrap when he stands forth to
defend his title.

KETCHEL HAS
A NEW PUNCH

SAN FRANCISCO, November Is
The November days are slipping away
and pretty soon Stanley Ketchel, the
shift specialist, and Billy Papke, the
inside worker, will get together in the
roped arena.
That the fight will be one to re-
member is the opinion of the men who
follow the fortunes of the boxers, but
in the meanwhile what we would all
like to know is whether what happen
ed at Los Angeles can be taken as
true test of the relative merits of the
rival middleweights.
Papke says that while being defeat
ed at Milwaukee he learned how to
turn the tables on Ketchel and that he
made use of the knowledge gained
when given the opportunity at Los An
geles. The thing is, will the informa-
ton CLEANED by Papke at Milwaukee
and put to practical use at Los An
geles be of equal service on Thanks
giving day? Papke says he discover
ed at Milwaukee that the way to beat
Ketchel was to crowd him; to press
close and give him no room to work
his fatal shifts and swings.

BIC FIGHT
TOMORROW

SAN FRANCISCO, November H.
Jim Coffroth has secured the Papke-
Ketchel match, but not without a
struggle apparently. Promoter Jack
Gleason, who arranged the date origi-
nally, could not see the force of having
the attraction snatched from him, and
he put up a hard fight to retain it. 1t
was reported along the line last night
that Gleason had agreed to give Papke
$4,000 to stick to his agreement with
the Occidental Club. This was $4,000
more than the amount guaranteed
Papke in the first place.
Manager Jones had this offer up his
sleeve when he attended a conference
that was held at Coffroth's headquar-
tiers on Ellis street. Coffroth was there
and so were Joe O'Connor, manager or
Stanley Ketchel, and Middleman Willis
Britt. An executive session extending
over three hours was held and at diff
ferent times rumors came out from
the meeting room that the Papkes
Ketchel match was in the air the sup
position being that Coffroth refused to
meet Gleason's figures.
Finally, however, it was announced
that an understanding had been
reached and that articles had been
signed calling for a fight between
Papke and Ketchel on Thanksgiving
day at Coffroth's Arena. The amount
of money that the fighters are to re-
ceive was not made known. In other
respects the match will be conducted
on the lines mentioned in the original
articles. The men will box twenty
rounds aand each will be required to
weigh 1853 pounds three hours before
the fight. This means that the weigh
ing time will be 1870 on the forenoon
of Thanksgiving day, as the fight is
scheduled to begin at 2:30 p. m.
Ketchel and Papke trained as usual
yesterday. AL Kaufman, who arrived
from Los Angeles in the morning,
joined Papkes staff in the afternoon
and spared three lively rounds with
the middlewight champion. Prior to
setting TO with Kaufman the Illinois
Thunderbolt went three rounds with
Ollie Cornett. This was a give-and-
take affair, with Corbett taking more
than he gave. With Kaufman it was
different. The young heavyweight is
ever so much taller than Papke and
his reach is such that Papke had to
lean and lunge in order to make con-
nections. Even at that the blows that
landed on Kaufman were few. AL has
developed into neat boxer and those
who saw him yesterday considered he
was well entitled to try conclusions
with Tommy Burns.
The selection of the referee was left
to Jones by O'Connor and the manager
of aPpke named Jack Welsh.

PEARL HARBOR
AND HONOLULU
SPECIAL STRESS LAID BY GEN
ERAL MURRAY ON DEFENSES
HERE AND AT MANILA.

WASHINGTON, November 13.-Nu-
merous recommendations for the inn
provement of the coast artillery are
made in the annual report of Briga-
dier-General Arthur Murray, chief or
that branch of the United States Ar
my. General Murray recommends that
the coast artillery be organized for
command and administration as sep
arate territorial division of the Army,
that it be increased by three Brigadier-
Generals of coast artillery, to COM
mand as many territorial departments;
that the chief of coast artillery be
made a Major-General, and that all
annual estimates and all accounts and
expenses be kept separate from those
of the mobile Army.
The actual strength of the coast ar
tillery on June 80, 1908, was 532 Off
GERS and 1894 enlisted men, the au-
thorized strength on that date being
5S4 officers and 1921 enlisted men.
An urgent appeal is made for an in
crease for the corps of cadets at West
Point by authorizing additional cadets
for each Senator and for appointment
by the President, in order that the de-
mand for officers for the artillery may
be met. To furnish one-half of the
personnel required for one complete
manning detail for the guns provided
in the United States, the full number
for the guns and mines provided for
the insular possessions, will require
1910 officers and 26,392 enlisted men.
For the formation of militia coast ar
tillery reserves, General Murray states,
there will be required 227S officers and
5S,110 men to provide one manning
detail for all the coast defenses con-
structed and proposed in the United
States, the insular possessions and the
entrances to the Panama canal.
The defenses of Manila bay, Pearl
harbor and Honolulu, General Murray
says, involves strategical conditions of
the highest order, and he lays special
stress upon the Importance of early
attention to that work.

S PO r t s
MAY Be NO BALL
HERE FOR MIQUE

Just what will happen in regard to
the baseball games which are expect
ed when Mique Fisher and his CO.
horts return from Japan is hard to
say. The rumor has spread among
the ball players that it is just as like
ly as not that there will be no games
in this city. The players are not a
bit enthusiastic and while the coming
of Pat Donahue might mean that they
would get together and do something,
the question of whether Donahue ex-
poets to come or not is wide open
one. Fisher announced that he was
coming, but that does not mean by
any means that he is on his way here.
The big local players appear to have
had enough of baseball for some time
to come, the games between the Santa
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-11-25

Clara and Keio teams rather firing
out both players and spectators. 1t
is understood that Gene Steere, the
old Brown University ball player, is in
charge of the arrangements for the
All-American team to play against ALL
Hawaii, but nothing has been heard
of his plans, if any have been made.
Hilo may take up the proposition
and send down for the champions to
come their way. When Fisher had his
team down here year ago they paid
visit to the Volcano and two games
were played in Hilo, which attracted
great crowds and were very successful
in every way. Mique would be very
glad to take his team over there If
satisfactory arrangements could be
made.
