Pocatello Tribune.

Pocatello Tribune
Challis. live little town way
over in the heart of Custer coun-
ty, of which it is the county seat.
is the latest Idaho town to feel
the fever of progress and pros
perity. F. A. Reed, postmaster
of the city in question, was in
Pocatello yesterday. visiting with
his old pals, Ben Bean, with
whom he used to go to school in
the east, and with Abe Pierce,
formerly resident of Challis.
Abe at one time edited the Chal-
lis Messenger, one of the Oldest
papers in the State. Mr.. Reed
brings good news down from the
far interior. The Salmon River
Land & Irrigation company is
making dirt fly in retaining of
10000 acres of fertile land in
Round Valley, which is bisected
by the Salmon river and on the
west side of which lies Challis
and on both sides magnificent
stretch of splendid land. The
scheme of reclan alton is through
two canals and pipe line across
the river. Already about half a
mile of the main canal has been
completed, the water being di-
verted from the Salmon river.
Five thousand acres have been
filed on up to date, and Mr.. Reed
says the remaining acreage will
go like hot cakes this summer.
Another project, which is be-
ing worked out in detail, involv-
es a dam across Challis creek and
the carrying of water to this side
of the valley.
Mr.. Reed says a national bank
with an initial capitalization of
$35, 900 will be open for business
in a few days in Challis. Per-
manent quarters will be fitted up
and the bank is now only await
ing the receipt from Washington
of charter.
Everything looks good for
our town." said Mr.. Reed to a
Tribune man yesterday. "The
inauguration of an automobile
stage line between Mackay and
Challis has brought the latter
town in closer touch with the
outer world. 1t is now possible
to board a train at Pocatello this
morning and reach Challis at
about 6 o'clock tonight. Here
tofore the trip required two full
days, with all the discomfOrts OF
stage travel, over mountain
roads"
Keep your eye on Challis, and
wait until we get a railroad
Then the town will be the heart
of what every one who knows
anything about it will agree upor
the richest mining district il
the entire State of Idaho. We
are handicapped by lack O
transportation, and when this is
provided, an immense develop
ment will follow and some of th'
bonanza mines of the west viii
be uncovered.
Mr.. Reed returned to his hom'
on the morning train.

FERGUSON ON FOUL
Hits Chelsea Pug Low Blow
in Eleventh Round and
Is Disqualified.

Boston, April SANDY Ferguson, the
Chelsea heavyweight, won on foul in
the eleventh round of his fight with
Jim Barry Of Chicago at the Armory
A. A. last night. Barry gained a lead
in the early rounds by walking into
his big antagonist and slamming him
with right and left punches to the
body. Ferguson asionaIly snapped in
steamy straight lefts. but could not
land with his right.
Not until the tenth round did Fergu
son get over his deadly right and he
staggered Barry for an instant.
In the eleventh they mixed 1t and
wrestle dto the mat. Ferguson stayed
down for the count and before he got
to his feet Barry put over a couple OF
punches Ferguson got to his feet be-
fore the full count and Barry stepped
in with a low blow. Referee Martin
F1aherty broke them apart and dis
qualified Barry, giving the decision to
Ferguson.
Barry was in bad shape in the elev-
enth as Ferguson fastened two solid
rights TO the jaw which took much Of
the steam out of him. 1t looked like
Barry would be knocked out.

the negro pugilist. Hugh D. Mcintosh,
who promoted the Johnson Burns fight
and since has assumed the management

Burns, he declared, was willing to fight
Johnson anywhere, in Australia, Amer

terms.
If Johnson does not accept, Mcintosh
said, Burns would fight Ketchel and
Kaufman, but certain terms which he
would not make public at present
would have to be complied with by the
last two named fighters.
Burns will fight Johnson, Ketchel or
