MAINE. PROMOTERS.

One of the ''smart' New England
papers, which evidently has former
Maine man in its employ, has of late
seen fit to speak slightingly of our fine
old State, and has cited Frank H.
Clergue, formerly of Bangor. and
Charles w. Morse, formerly of Bath,
as examples of the captains of indus
try" which Maine turns out. It is very
we'll to turn an epigram with final
sting of this sort, for Maine newspapers
have said things fully as sharp concern
ing the misadventures of men from
other States, but badinage aside, Meth
er Morse with his bank-wrecking, stock
watering and trust-building schemes,
nor Clergue with his rainbow chasing
and mOney-wasting notions can be taken
Maine has had its Morses and its
Maxim brothers, who are at the fore
front of the world as inventors. 1t has
had it's John d. Long, who for diplo-
macy and wisdom, cannot be excelled.
It has its John F. Dryden, who is mas
ter of millionaire life insurance. 1t has
had its Willard Small, as chief-a lead
er of educational movements. 1t has
had its Willard Small, as chieftain in
deep scholarship. It has produced Bucks
and Brookmans and Sewalls and Hydes
and Emerys in maratime adventure
and commercial transaction. Body, the
New York millionaire, was a product
of Waldo county. Deering, the reaper
king, was from Cumberland. But why
continue? Every county and nearly
every parish or school district in Maine
has sent out men who have honored
their State, and though Maine has fur
nished of her best for a century or
more, the stock is not degenerating or
showing signs of decay.
Morse and Clergue were both brilliant
men who happened to get injured in the
making up.-Bangor News.

Gets Back at Nelson.

While Battling Nelson was in the city
he picked Dalton to win and incidentally
answered Cyclone Thompsons challenge
for the fight by saying he wouldn't want
any more fight after Dalton got through
with him.
Manager Iichtenstein. of Cyclone
THOMPSON takes exception to the Bat
tiers statement. and answers him in a
letter. as follows:
"Kindly insert the following I'm your
column. as same will no doubt prove OF
vital interest to our present light weight
champion. Battling Nelson. On behalf OF
Johnny Thompson, | take exception to
the Danes statement. That the Cyclone
could not hurt him if he fought him all
day. Bat can rest assured If he ever
gives Johnny Thompson the opportunity
to demonstrate his hitting ability in a
contest both the Dane and the sporting
public will receive the surprise of their
lives Johnny has fought f79 battles. and
his coming fight at the hot springs on
July IS will make it an even $780, In all
of these battles no pugilist ever put him
down for the count. To use Johnny S
own words: The Battler can't whip me
in a week If Nelson would like to see
Johnny at his best let him come and
see the Cyclone dispose of his selection.

realize that the man to wrest the cham
pionship from him is none other than the
Cyclone.
A special train will leave Salt Lake
for the Ogden hot springs. where the
fight is to be held. on Tuesday night.
and will return TO Salt Lake immediate
" after the fight.

NEW ROADWAY IN
FEDERAL HEIGHTS
PetrOlithic Pavement Forms a
Link in Fine Drive to
Fort Douglas.

The new petrolithic pavement
through Federal Heights was COM
pleted yesterday, and there is now
pavement all the way to Fort Douglas.
The Federal Heights pavement runs
along the continuation of Brigham to
Federal Way, and along Federal Way
to the macadamiZed road leading to the
post.
Automobiles who tried the new
pavement yesterday were much
pleased with il. 1t is the first pave
ment of this character in Utah and
will be used TO a great extent on the
other streets of Federal Heights. The
pavement has been in use in southern
California for a number of years and
is pronounced a success there. In CALI
fornia the first petrolithic pavementS
were made only three inches deep. One
of this depth lasted five years without
patching. Present specifications in Los
Angeles call for a depth of six inches.
The method of petrolithic paving is
interesting. The ground is plowed to a
depth of nine inches. This is in the
case of the Federal Heights paving
which has been done to greater
depth than the California streets. Then
the ground is thoroughly pulverized,
after which asphalt oil. 20 per cent pure
asphalt. is poured over it, four gallons
to the square yard. The oil is turned
under with gang pillow. Then an I'M
mense machine is run over the ground:
The machine weighs 1000 pounds ana
is so arranged that it lamps the ground
with pegs shaped like sleeps hoofs-
The machine is so adjusted that the
whole weight OF the machine comes
upon each of these two-inch pegs In
turn. the result being the most perfect
tanning possible This entire process
was repeated with a siX-inch blowing
and again with a three-inch plowlng,
after which two inches of gravel is
spread on the surface and tamped
down.
The paving is described as soft yet
durable and moist enough to prevent
dust. There are about 400 yards IN all
of the new paving completed.

CYCLONE AND KID
READY FOR SCRAP
Two SIuggers Who Like the
Going Meet at Ogden Next
Tuesday Night.

On next Tuesday evening fight fans
of the state will have a chance to see
two men in action, who, on dope. ought
to put up one of the hardest fights seen
around here for many a day. They are
Kid Dalton and Cyclone Thompson. Both
are sluggers and gluttons Tor puhishine..lt.
Perhaps no two lishtweights in the ring
today. barring always Battling Nelson,
like the gaff as these two boys do and
thrive under blows which would be the
undoing of most men. The men are both
in good shape and have had considerable
time TO train for the event.
Cyclone Thompson needs no introduc-
ton around Salt Lake or Ogden. lie is
that pleases the public. Dalton is a
stranger. but comes well recommended
from Los Angeles, where he was picked
up and put in the game by James j. Jei-
fries. The big champion vouches for HIM
as one of the coming lightweights of the
day. but Dalton's record does that with
out boosting from the boilermaker.
Here are a few of the fights he mas
made in the past two and a half years,
Kid Snyder, ten rounds. knockout.
Earl Sayne, ten rounds, draw.
