to this agent at certain season to sell
their cotton holdings. but he knew the
price would go higher. and therefore he
didn't sell till four days later. In conse-
quence he netted an extra profit of $40 600

the money, and announced joyously and

the whole amount. with cold note that

But though YOU have won no fewer
than four championships. l cannot but
think that it was more in matches of
less important character that you
evinced that extraordinary superiority
over all others. You had a habit Of
making your opponents appear mere
sound, commonplace players, particu-
larly Taylor who had the misfortune
more than once to suffer from the lash
of your briiliancy. Your place at the
Irish meeting at Portmarnock in 1899
bordered on the miraculous. and / have
heard that you yourself consider your
play in this tournament as good as
anything you have ever done in your
life. But what about your performance
at st. Anne n-Sea, when in a field of
eight picked players Your total for two
rounds was eleven strokes less than
that of any other competitor and your
one individual round of seventy-One seven
strokes lower than any other score re-
turned--in my opinion the most won
derful medal round ever returned.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON
STUDENT FUND GROWS

University of Oregon, Eugene
The past year has shown a remark
able gain in the amount Of the Stu
dent Loan Fund at the University OF
Oregon. From a total Of approxi-
mately $500 at the beginning of thN
year 1t now amounts in round num-
bers to $4,000, and the indications are
that this amount will also be largely
increased during the coming year.
Nearly Is gifts to the fund have been
made, ranging in amount from $25 to
$1,000.
One of the largest of these was
made by the d. p. Thompson estate
of Portland, and was for $1,000. An
other gift of approximately the same
amount was received, but its donors
have requested their names withheld.
Senator r. A. Booth, Of Eugene, gave
$500, and several others added
amounts varying in size from $3.50 to
$3.50.
Loans from these funds are made
to deserving students at low rate OF
interest, and the plan is to have ten
men guarantee the fund against loss.
Since the beginning Of the University
Loan Fund some six years ago only
one loss has been sustained.

mics, hope that the short and squat
but excessively pugnacious redman
is permanently defunct.
Mindful of an experience six years
ago, when Sam declined to. remain
dead, the Indians were in no haste to
inter him. On the former occasion
Sam appeared to be as dead as any
good Indian ought to be, and the big
chiefs of the tribe spent considerable
time and talk in carrying out an ella
borate funeral program. In the
midst of the rites the corpse" rose
up and inquired the cause of all the
merrymaking.
So when Sandy, otherwise known
as Sam, died again Saturday, the
chiefs held a powwow and decided
that they would take no chances.
Accordingly, the funeral was deferred
until yesterday. when it was deemed
safe to proceed with the obsequies.

WOMAN THROWS $4,000
INTO FIRE BY MISTAKE

San Francisco, July 2S.-Mrs. j. G.
Jacobsen, wife of a saloonman, is on
the verge of nervous prostration and
her husband is mourning the loss OF
$4,000 in currency which Mrs. Jacob
sen accidentally threw into the fire
while burning papers.
Jacob withdrew the money from
the bank Saturday and placed the
bills in an envelope. He left the en-
velope lying on a table. Part of the
money was to defray the expenses OF
trip to Colorado that Mrs jacob
sen was preparing to take, and 1t was
all in large denominations.
AS his wife threw the fortune into
the flames, Jacobsen recognized the
envelope and made wild grab in an
effort to save his wealth. The fire
soon reduced the currency to ashes.
Hoping to be recompensed by the
government, Jacobsen saved the ash-
es. He will send them to Washing
ton for examination by government
expert.

JEFFRIES IN CONDITION.
Big Boxer Thoroughly Examined by
University PHYSICAL Director.

JHlNtrSity EnyslCul DTtCtOF.
Minneapolis.-Dr. E. r. Cooke,
physical director at the University of
Minnesota this afternoon made a ply
steal examination of James ]. JET
fries and pronounced the boxer in
first class condition. Next week in
New York Jeffries is expected to post
his forfeit for his fight with Jack
Johnson. DR.. Cookies statement fol-
lows:
"By R. e. Cooke, physical director
at the University of Minnesota:
81 have visited Jeffries twice and
have seen him both before and after
his exhibition. I give it as my opin-
ion that he is in fine condition and
can go into the ring with a months
training and do himself justice. l do
not think he has gone back any. If
he has dissipated there is no evidence
of it.
Frank Gotch, the wrestler, is the
only other man I ever met who is so
evenly developed. Jeffries is not
flabby His waist measurement Is
3S.7, while his chest measurement Is
45.S inches, just about the right pro-
portion.
His lungs are sound, his heart ac-
ton is normal, his pulse good and
steady.
"The only thing I find to be the
matted with him is not serious de-
feet. His nose was broken some
years ago while training by blow
from his opponents elbow. Conse-
quently, he does not breathe through
his nose easily, but breathes with his
mouth slightly open. This makes him
seem to puff and wheeze when ex-
ercising."

REPORTS CONCERNING
DESCHUTES RAILROAD

Portland, July 2S.-Following are
the opinions concerning the central
Oregon railroad situation as gathered
by the Portland Journal:
Opinion at The Dalles-Porters are
trying to force Hartman TO purchase
right of way from them. Have no in
tention of building railroad.
Opinion at Oakland, Cal.-Hill has
been trying to reach tidewater on
San Francisco bay. Is probably
backing Porters' scheme.
Opinion at San Francisco.-Don't
think Hill would use Deschutes line
to enter California territory, although
IL is known here he has been trying
to find outlet on San Francisco bay
Believed that he will prefer to do so
nv first class steamers between Port
land and Seattle connecting with his
lines that enter the two northwest
cities.
Opinion at Portland-Harriman is
xoing to build the Deschutes line and
Hill has an understanding with him.
Recent terminal agreement with the
Northern Pacific and agreement TO
use tracks to sound, do not point to
possibility of a pitched battle for east
ern Oregon territory. Twohy broth
ers are Harriman's regular men. Por-
ters represent only themselves and
private interests.

Yiman railroad up Deschutes,

doesn't look like it. never knew
railroad obstructionists to build

want to show some good common
sense, they had better look into this
matter and see who is treating them
In good faith. Hill doesn't want to

territory doesn't justify two roads.

WILL LIVE WITH
INDIANS IN DESERT

Tuscan, Ariz.-Carl LumboltZ, Nor
wegian ethnologlst and explorer, is
here completing arrangements for an
extended residence in the arid territory
OF northwestern Mexico, where he will
live with and study the Cocopa and
Pima Indians for several months. The
territory he hopes to study especially
is that lying between the Rio de Altar
and the mouth of the Colorado river
in the state of Sonora, bordering on
the gulf of California.
After completing his primary ar
rangements, Mr.. Lumholtz will go to
Hermosillo to visit the governor of
Sonora, with whom he has made par
tial arrangements for reporting his in
vestigations to that government by
correspondence, and then he will re-
turn here and start into the practic-
ally unknown territory.
Strange to say" Mr.. Lumholtz re-
marked "the region is largely unex-
plored on account of the absence of
surface water everywhere. SO an ex-
pedition there entails considerable ex-
pense. as water has TO be carried along
both for men and animals. The physi-
cal geography of the area is unknown,
and the Indians who live in the out,
skirts and oases of the desert have
not been studied. / expect to find es-
pecial fields of resources among the
Papago Indians. Part Of this tribe, or
at least some of the tribe affiliated
with them, is living in the sand dunes.
81 also propose to cross the Colo
RADIO river and investigate the Cocopa
Indians. The whole region was once
the scene of great volcanic activity.
