INCREASES IN
 SALARIES ASKED

So far there is no indication of any changes in the charities department. and it is safe to say that there will be none unless the politicians take a more active interest in the matter than they have done so far The friends of the present incumbentS have been do- ing considerable work since the appli- cations for their positions began to come in. The board has received ap- plications from all quarters for in- crease of salaries by the present in- cumbents. Although Superintendent CowIes of the Lakeview home saw a sword suspended over his head which was likely to drop at any time, he is not worrying much over the future. No member of the board is going to hold up old scores against him sud he will probably remain where he is. Supt Cowles' friends have been doing some tall hustling and if the matter of a change at Lakeview is broached every wire in the hands of the old Republi- can machine will be pulled to retain him.

AL KAUFMAN
BY Ringsider


SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8. =
When AL Kaufman and Jack John
son step into the, ring at the Mis-
sion street arena here tomorrow
Afternoon the two biggest men to
have faced each other in a world S
championship battle since Gus
Rubin essayed to take the crown
away from Jim Jeffries will be fit
and ready to step fast 10 rounds
If they have mind to do SO.
That the crowd will be a rec
ord-breaking one at popular prices,
the best seats selling for IS and
the bleachers for 81, goes with
out saying, but it is not in expecta-
ton of sensational scrap that the
fans will turn out. They do not
expect to see johnson clean Kauf-
man in short order, nor do they
expect to see Kaufman slip one
over that will restore the cham
|pionship to the race. 1t is mere
curiosity to see how much John
son has improved that will impel
them to dig up the price. A 10
round fight between men weighing
more than zoo pounds each does
not appeal to local fight followers.
in view of the fact that
neither man is a marvel of speed.
OF course, the great majority
around the ring viii be pulling for
Kaufman, but deep down in their
hearts they will concede him lit
tie chance. He has strength and
size and that lets him out. John
son is so far his superior in ring
manship that there Is no COMPARE
son between the pair, and II the
black cannot outpoint him in a
short sprint he has as much right
to the title as Mexican Pete Ever
EFT or Sandy Ferguson.
The fight, although heralded as
a championship affair. is hardly
that. 1t is only half that. because
the articles provide that II both
men are on their feet at the end
of the tenth round no decision
shall be rendered. 1t is hardly
conceivable that there VIII be a
knockout. 80 the fight will be
nothing more than a near-cham-
pionship battle.

SUIT AGAINST
RAILWAY TO
BE RUSHED

Judge Donworth yesterday af-
ternoon decided to go ahead with
the trial of the case of Roy Minck-
Ter against the Oregon & Califor-
mia railway without waiting for
Uncle Sam to try his case against
the company for forfeiture of the
land grant.
Minckler asks that the railway
company be forced to sell him 80
acres in Clark county on which he
has settled, the land grant provid-
ing the company must sell to
actual settlers at $3.50 an acre.
About 60 others also have filed
suite similar to the Minckler suit.

It looks like sure thing for

But three weeks and half re-

way the Tigers are going there
is little hope. Vancouver Is get

more than Tacoma at that.
From present indications Seat
tie will be at one end and Tacoma
at the other when the season

young mining engineer of Lucky
Boy, has invented an aeroplane IN
which he recently completed H.
mile fiigrt near Lake Walker.
The aviator flew along the shores
of the lake and had intentions of
crossing, but the fact that there
were no boats in the vicinity to
rescue him in case of a mishap
deferred him from making the at
tempt. Bradshaw worked three
years to complete his machine.

In charge of over two hundred Rus

little or not at all in regard to what
lneir wages are to be, A. l.. G. At
kinson arrived this morning in the
Pacific Mail Steamship Siberia, from
Harbin, via Kobe and Yokohama.
The Siberia was sighted soon after
o o'clock this morning and was at an
chor mile and half off port at 1880
O'Clock, but it was after 1890 o'clock
before she snuggled to the Hackfeld
wharf, for the reason that the Federal
doctors were for a time in doubt as to
the cause of the death of one of the
Russian immigrants whose body had
been buried at sea. DR.. Hobby was
sent for, while the big ship lay to-, and
a consultation was held. 1t had been
better for all concerned had the body
of deceased been preserved for exam
ination by the local doctors. Finally
it was decided that the intestinal
trouble which carried away one lmml-
grant was not dangerous and the yell
low flag came down.
Meanwhile Jack Atkinson loomed
large on the promenade deck, in COM
pany with A. Perelstrous, the Russian
gentleman who has been here before
and who assisted Atkinson in the Sc
lection of the Russians for immigra-
ton to Hawaii.
Jack looked down, astern to where
the two hundred and odd husky men
sturdy women and clean-looking chill
dren were huddled on the main-deck
evidently proud of his selection. And
they did appear to be splendid bunca
Such was the opinion expressed by the
doctors and by members Of the Board
I of immigration who later met Atkinson
and his crowd when the vessel docked
at the Hackfeld wharf.
DR.. Ramus expressed himself as very
much pleased with the appearance OF
the immigrants. They looked happy
ana anxious to get ashore; happy a
